ITunes and Library missing! Please help!

Hi everyone
Need a bit of a help. Just download the new version of iTunes and i have lost all my library and my playlists. How can I locate them and get them back I suppose they must be in some folder?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks Ret

If you mean they do not show up in your iTunes libray on your computer:

    my ipod keeps asking me to restore and when i do restore it just restarts and asks me to connect to itunes and starts again.please help its my sons bday and this is his present

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • ITunes and Quicktime issue (Please Help)

    So last night I download the update for iTunes. Everything seemed to be going fine, I didn't have any problems. This morning I turn on my computer and try to run iTunes and it gives me an error message, an dwon't even open iTunes. Not only that, I can't run any Quicktime file, it gives me the same message. I downloaded the installer again and attempted to repair iTunes. It said I was sucessful, but when I tried opening iTunes or Quicktime the error still appeared. This is really frustrating, this is what I get for updating? Someone please help!

    you'll probably want to run the standalone quicktime install
    also, what is the error message that you are getting?

    krakrjak,
    For better results I'd recommend creating your own thread so the responses received focus on your issue/question.
    This document explains how to recover iTunes Store purchases from your device:

    If the music on your iPod is not purchased from the iTunes Store, recovering the songs will require the use of third party software. Some links:

  • I lose my internet connection when i sync iTunes and ATV. Please help

    Ive just bought a new Apple TV and I am trying to stream TV shows and movies from my iMac via the wireless network.
    The ATV found the right network instantly and I wrote in the password. Ive paired the iMac iTunes and ATV and I can see all the episodes and movies on my TV.
    When I want to start to watch any of it, it loses its connection to the router/network. And so does the iMac. I havent had any trouble with the iMacs connection to the network until now. If Im not trying to watch anything on my TV, the internet is fine on both the ATV and iTunes.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?
    Ive tried to fix the DHCP in my router settings, but im not even sure what that means, let alone if it helps When i lose the internet, I can still see the network name, but when I try to connect, it says that connection timeout.
    I have a D-Link DI 524 router.
    Thanks so much
    Lisa
    EDIT: If I exit iTunes my internet connection is fine. As soon as I start it and iTunes starts to sync with ATV, I lose the internet. Anyone know why and how I can fix it?
    I forgot to add that WAN settings in my router says that I have Dynamic IP Address.
    Thanks

    Okay.. When i stop the syncing between the ATV and itunes, I can watch a movie/TV-show for about 30 seconds, then the network will timeout.
    So i know the atv is working. I have a feeling its the router that is too old? I will try to upgrade its firmware tomorrow, as i was told i couldnt to this when connected to wireless?

  • Have an old computer with windows xp that I replaced with a windows 7.  Can't recover my Itunes account and library.  Please help!

    I have a full library in itunes.  I can still purchase form the Ipod but since buying a new computer, I can't recover the library or account on the new computer.  Old computer ran windows xp now running windows 7

    Why can't you recover the account?  The account is not tied to the computer... simply log in.
    The media must be moved from one computer to another, simply signing into iTunes does not cause it to magically appear.

  • Virus deleted contents off itunes and I pod please help

    My computer has recently had a virus and deleted my i tunes, I  tried to connect my ipod to load the music on to the i tunes and it also deleted that. Is there any way that I can log in to get back at leas the music that I purchased and how do I do it?
    Regards

    The way I installed my games on my iPod is through iTunes. Highlight your iPod under devices, then click on the far right tab which is Games (at least on a mac) and click the Sync games button and select the radio button that says Select games and check off Zuma. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest Applecare if you have it or your device is inder 90 days old, barring that I'd email iTunes Music store. But I just installed 2 games on mine yesterday and it worked flawlessly .
    Good luck

    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

  • HT1451 Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!

    Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
    Hours and Hours of renaming, adding cover photos and so on have been for nothing. Itunes cannot find the files since they're not in the library at all!
    I still have the music on my computer but don't want to add it as it is, as I have spent a lot of time "fixing" it! PLEASE HELP!

    Did you use spotlight to search? (I'm assuming you have a Mac as given above despite this thread being in the Windows forum). How long have you used iTunes on this computer? Is there a backup to your library, perhaps an only copy of it on a machine you've "retired". Is the media present in the media folder? (Yes, you've answered that earlier.) If so then the media files should have absorbed all the tag changes that you made and reimporting the media into a new library might not be a complete disaster, though playlists, playcounts, ratings etc. would be irretrievably lost.
