  • Video purchase has disappeared from my iTunes library and from the store.

    I have recently discovered that a video which I had purchased from the iTunes store about 2 years ago (Leonard Cohen's "Closing Time") has disappeared from my iTunes library. I did not delete it, and I have not had any computer issues which required backup. The purchase is still listed in my iTunes account, but other than that it is as if the whole download never happened. It appears that the store no longer sells the video, and when I "reported" the problem on the account page it was if I was talking to myself ! To keep things simple I took the position that I wanted to repurchase the video, but the Apple representative offered me a credit. When I refused that as a solution, saying I wanted him to tell me how I could repurchase the specific video, one which I owned, he backed off and ultimately said that he was going to submit the matter for investigation, and that I should get back in touch with Apple after a few weeks. (This has brought all my conspiracy thinking tendencies to the surface !) Has anyone else had a similiar experience with a purchased item disappearing for no apparent reason ?

    Today i went to add a bunch of movies to my wife's iPad. I realized she had not seen The Book of Eli so i went to add it but it was missing. Same story as above. I have not moved the file, or deleted it. It is just missing from my USB HDD where all my movies are. iTunes store no longer sales the movie.
    I can see them stop selling movies... but how did it just get removed from my USB HDD????

  • HT204406 I did a sync in itunes and now almost all of my songs have disappeared from my itunes library. I'm sure they're in the cloud, but what if I want to play one on my computer? How do I find them?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • My music, apps, movies everything has disappeared from my itunes library!

    why have all my music, apps, movies, EVERYTHING but a few files all of a sudden disappeared from my itunes library, and how do I get it back?!  I "checked for possible downloads" and it said all my material had been downloaded already. 

    Hi miller2x,
    One possible cause of an empty library is this:
    iTunes creates an empty library file in Windows

    Here's some information on finding the missing media:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
    Lastly, this article has information on recreating your library and playlists:

  • Inexplicably, some of my music has disappeared from my itunes library.

    The second half of a soundtrack is there, but the first half is missing. I haven't added anything new recently (other than updating itunes), just noticed when I went to play the soundtrack tonight. The whole album is still in my music file on the harddrive, but doesn't show up in itunes. Any ideas about what happened, and how I get the full album back into itunes (other than simply re-burning the CD?). Not sure if any other content is missing; I haven't gone looking, yet.

    Hi, Junette.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand you are missing some media from your iTunes library upon upgrading.  Here is an article that I would recommend going through for this issue.  This article also includes the library file location.  
    If you don't see your content after updating iTunes
    If the missing iTunes music was purchased via the iTunes Store, try downloading your past purchases via the steps in the article below.

  • All my music has disappeared from my itunes library!! HELP ME!!!!!

    Ok, I was listening to music from itunes last night. I turn on itunes this morning and all the music that was there the night before has disappeared! I checked my "My Music" folder and all of my music placed after the "iTunes" folder has disappeared. This is extremely unusual and I dont understand it! Please HELP!!!

    It could be anything. First scan with your antivirus program, and scan for malware using your adware/spyware program or Ewido http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
    Also it could be your antivirus/security suite blocking iTUnes from writting to the folders it needs.

  • My music has disappeared from my itunes library.

    All that is in the music library is a podcast. I looked in the drive where the itunes library is, and in i tunes media there is an older folder but why is nothing showing - none of the music I have purchased or any of the cds I have put into the library recently seem to be there.

    Are you running iTunes from an external drive, or a 2nd hard disk in the computer?

  • After updating to most recent version, everything not purchased through store has disappeared from my iTunes library, HELP NEEDED ASAP!!!

    I purchased a new laptop in August, running Windows 8 and spent hours importing every CD we own (over 300) to my iTunes library in order to get rid of them and declutter a little. I have had to run iTunes in a compatibility mode set for an older version of Windows in order to sync our iPods, as it doesn't work with Windows 8. A pain but not a major problem.....however, this morning I have updated iTunes and everything that hasn't been purchased through the store has now vanished from my library. Can anyone help me find the rest of my music please?

    You're welcome.
    Take a look at the backup technique I mention for the future.

  • After upgrading to 11.4 and downloading the new U2 album on my PC, all my other U2 songs disappeared from my itunes library on all my devices

    How do I get my songs back?

    BY following these steps you can remove "other" data:
    Step 1: Take a backup of all data, preferably via iTunes instead of iCloud but if you’re happy with iCloud, you’re most welcome to backup on iCloud.
    Step 2: Now, make sure – double or triple check you’ve got all your stuff backed up.
    Step 3: Reset your iPhone: Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings
    Step 4: Connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore from backup.
    What this does is wipes off all the temporary files, cache, cookies and stuff like album art which steals – a little bite at a time – large amounts of free space. This clears things a lot but not everything will be gone. There’ll still be some (or occasionally, a lot of) “Other” data.

  • HT203167 All my music has disappeared from my iTunes, what do I do?

    I don't know why but somehow all my music has disappeared from my iTunes. I store all my music files on external hard drives.
    I don't know what to do to get it all back onto iTunes (other than individually adding each song)

    If you are lucky you may be able to recreate your library using the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    If that doesn't work you can just add your iTunes Music folder using "Add Folder to Library", that gets your music back in the library but loses playlists and ratings etc.
    Becuase this is rather a common problem, it is a good idea to make backups of you Library file from time to time:
    Backup the iTunes Library Files
    The library files are in:
    My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Close iTunes and wait about 30 seconds.
    Copy iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml somewhere else e.g. into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    To restore, with iTunes closed drag the current itl and xml file from the iTunes folder to the desktop, then copy the backup iTunes Library.itl into the iTunes folder. The xml file isn’t necessary but can come in handy if the library needs to be recreated and the itl file is causing problems.

  • The buy icon has disappeared from my itunes store. How can I purchase songs??

    The buy icon has disappeared from my itunes store...how can I purchase songs??

    The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6.  You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser.  You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature.  It will then operate just like an app.

  • My entire iTunes library has disappeared from my Itunes (except for 5 songs i purchased yesterday from iStore.  Had about 300 songs!!  Anyone know how this cd happen?  Have Windows Vista.  Computer did recent Windows update. Also recently renewed Trend.

    My entire Library of songs (over 300) has suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Only songs there are 5 I just purchased from iStore yesterday. Has never happened before.  Windows recently installed some updates.  I also recently renewed my Trend anti-virus.  I have no idea where the Library went. Have done a Search of computer and checked Recycle bin....the songs are gone.   WHAT happened?????   Can I get them back from Apple somehow?  Can I restore them from my Ipod?  (I am afraid to plug in the iPod because if it Syncs, am afraid it will also dump all my songs.  What can I do????  

    a) See: How to rename your iPod.
    b & c) If you can still the view hidden files, see this Music from iPod to computer.
    "I see LOTS of files - but they all have funky names like XYZAV.mp3"
    That's normal. When those files are back in iTunes they'll have the correct names.
    Once the files are back to your computer (and only then), you should restore your iPod. It would appear that the hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable.

  • Having trouble transferring itunes library to an external hard drive.  All of my music is in the main ITUNES library and every site and answer I get says tranfer my library/user name/ da da da da da.... I am not familiar with this-need a simple way-thx

    HELP!   I have looked at video sites, looked on here, to no avail.   Please dont talk negatively about my question (as I have seen some pretty mean responses to topics )   I am trying to copy my itunes music to an external hard drive.  Here is my situation:  All of my music is in the main ITUNES location.  I  have been told to save the "user library".  I really need an elementary step by step way.  I plan to visit the library in town tomorrow to get a book but worried because my computer is having issues  TONIGHT.  Thanks for any help....  This is so helpful to know there may be help out there.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    To see your iTunes folder click on the Music folder icon in your Finder sidebar.
