How do I get reinstalled itunes to reload my music in the itunes folder on drive D?

I previously moved my itunes folder to D. I had to reinstall itunes and now I don't know how to get it to see my music and my old playlists. Thank you in advance for any help.

If depends on which method you used. If you moved your entire iTunes folder out to D: then you may need to hold down SHIFT as you start iTunes, click Choose and then browse to the folder containing the library database. If you only moved the media folder then your library will normally be in <User's Music>\iTunes.
Is this the same machine you previously used iTunes on or have have moved the drive. Uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes should have any effect on the contents of your library. Perhaps this is the advice you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

How do I stop iTunes from copying my music to the iTunes music file?

We have an Intel iMac running Tiger with a 146 GB hard drive, so imagine my shock when I discovered that we only had 2gb of space left! We are a family and have 5 users with 5 different iTunes libraries on each of our log ins. So I made a Shared Music folder for all our music that we could take songs from. I worked out that iTunes copies any music that you have into a new folder, meaning that we had 6 times the music we needed. So instead of 10gb of music in one Shared Music folder that I created, there was 60 gb of mostly copies.
So how do I make it so that we only have one folder with our music in, rather than 5 with 6 copies of the songs that we don't need?
Basically, I want to stop it from creating the iTunes music folder.

Turn off the option to automatically copy music to the iTunes music folder in the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences, place all the music in a shared location, and create new libraries as needed.

How do i get my itunes back after transferring music to the itunes library?

After my computer had a virus, I still had all my songs, applications, and podcast on the iPod. The problem is that I wanted to transfer the songs to the itunes library, but only the songs that I purchased are left ( everything else is gone). How do I get them back?

It is impossible but if you have the CDs reload them on your computer. Purchased songs have to be repurchased

HT202213 How do I get two accounts on one Mac to share the iTunes library?

I've consolidated two macs into one and successfully migraated everything EXCEPT access to the original account's iTunes library. I have turned on sharing on both accounts, but still cannot get the new account linked to the library. Of course apple is no help whatsoever on this - nothing i can find on the support site and unless I want to pay them $50 they won't even try to help. Anyone have any good ideas?/

With POP, there really isn't a good way. POP is designed to download from the server only, deleting messages after they are downloaded. While you can set it to not delete, there's no provision for uploading messages to the server. You need an IMAP account, which allows full synchronization of the server with the mail client, across multiple machines. Note that some mail accounts can be set up as either POP or IMAP... check with BT Connect to see if that's the case with them.

How can I get back all of my family videos from the iTunes monster?

So here's the thing.
Over the past few years I have accumulated a whole heap of home videos as well as movies, TV episodes etc. etc. which has grown and grown to the point where there was no more space on my 60GB hard drive.
So I go out and buy an 80GB video iPod so that I can store the videos on that.
I go through the extremely lengthy (3 days) and frustrating process of converting all my files to mp4 using Videora converter and load them onto iTunes and then onto my new iPod. I then click 'Manually manage songs' in my iPod options so that I could delete the videos from my computer, and have them still on my iPod. This was about a week ago and since then everything has been fine.
When updating my iPod this morning, I manually ejected the ipod once my new music was added, only to find that the ipod now contained NO VIDEOS! As it turns out, the iPod automaticaaly reverted to 'automatcally manage files' without my prompt.
So now whilst I have the files on iTunes, they cannot be found as they have been deleted and they are no longer on my iPod. Is there ANY way that I can get them back? Anything at all? System restore or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HT1848 How can I get a copy of my entire music library on iTunes to the 'My Music' folder on my computer?

I have a bunch of music that I have bought or downloaded from a variety of places. I would like a copy of ALL my music on my computer, not just iTunes, so I can put songs on other devices, such as my phone. How can I copy my entire iTunes library into a folder on my computer (which is an Acer with Windows 7)? Thanks!

If they are in your iTunes library, they are aready on your computer.
To see the location of a particular song file, right-click its library entry and choose "Show in Explorer."
To copy it to another location, use Copy & Paste, as you would with any file.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to work out why they are ineligible, are they the wrong format, are the file sizes simply too large or is the data rate at which the audio was iencoded too low.

If you connect your iPhone to a computer running Linux (Ubuntu version in my case) it will become recognized as a normal USB memory pen-drive.
From there, you can use many methods to recover your lost deleted files.
TestDrive allows you to search the drive (iPhone memo) and gives you the possibility to recover deleted files. I'm not an expert, nor did it with iDevice by myself. But it worked for me with Symbian phone (Nokia)...
