Itunes crashed -- all my music wiped out
Just upgraded my PC with newest version of ITunes
one hour later, the entire library vanished
no songs to be found anywhere on my C Drive (lost over 2000 songs)
Any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks a lot.
i seriously doubt apple would make anything that would wipe out stuff on your computer.
im pretty positive your computer has a virus or something.
i think you should look at a virus scanner, which i have McAfee, which works superbly.
hope this helps. (:

When i plug my ipod in, it shows up on desktop as a hard drive, but wont show up on itunes. All my music/videos everything has been wiped off somehow, restored it and still wont work! Please help!
- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification

- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod. -
ITunes crashes upon syncing music to iPhone 3GS iOS4
I recently bought an iPhone 3GS and upgraded it to 4.1. Whenever I try and sync my music, iTunes will crash - I get the "iTunes has encountered an unexpected error and has to close" message, with the Windows report screen popping up and all that. This is only when I sync my music - applications and contacts sync fine (I do not sync videos/photos/voicemails so I have those all unchecked). I only sync one selected playlist (not my whole library).
I am using iTunes 10, running on Windows XP. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times (including downgrading to 9.2 at one point) but I continue to get the same result - iTunes crashes upon syncing music. I just did a fresh restore, and this has not fixed the problem.
I have tried splitting up my 550 song playlist that I normally sync to my iPhone, but when I did this (it was only about 250 songs) iTunes crashed again towards the end. It has been crashing whether or not I have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" checked or not. It crashes somewhere in the middle of "Copying X out of X."
Note As of typing this, I successfully synced a separate 58-song playlist WITH "Convert to 128 kbps AAC checked." However, I then tried to sync a different 61-song playlist WITHOUT that checked and iTunes proceeded to crash. After this, I tried syncing the 58-song playlist again WITHOUT the Convert checked and it synced perfectly without crashing.
Recap:
Playlist #1 (550 songs) - Crashes WITH OR WITHOUT convert checked
Playlist #2 (58 songs) - Syncs perfectly with or without convert checked
Playlist #3 (61 songs) - Crashes without "Convert..." checked (have not tested with "Convert..." checked, it's late and I have to head to bed soon and I want to get this post up).
Considering this information, would it be reasonable for me to assume that it's some of the songs in my library that are making iTunes crash? If so, how the heck am I supposed to figure which songs are causing this? I really hope I do not have to sit here as iTunes syncs and watch our for every song it crashes on...
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've scoured these boards but I haven't found anyone with the same situation as me, and thus no answers.
So frustrated. Even my old iPhone 2G on OS 3.0 syncs my music perfectly!!I am back to attempting to sync my music. iTunes continues to crash on certain songs, however I have also noticed another problem - each time I attempt to sync my main playlist (after deleting the song it crashed on last time), it will say Copying X out of like, 96 or some number that is nowhere near the real count of songs on the playlist.

Itunes crashes while syncing music
Goodmorning everyone,
I have a problem with my Iphone 3g 16gb 4.2.1 OS, because it refuses to sync music with my Itunes (10.4).
Ever since I downloaded Itunes 10.4 my Itunes crashes during the music synchronisation process. Everything else it synchronises perfectly, even my restored apps and my contacts and emails. However as soon as i try to sync music or podcasts I get a windows 7 error saying:
"Itunes is not working anymore, it needs to be shut down" in dutch then. With no error codes or what so ever, no explanation where it goes wrong or something that causes the error.
I tried:
* Deleting all itunes or apple related software and reinstalling itunes 10.4 from the download site of apple.
* Trying to select only a few music files to synchronise which I know are still on this laptop
What am I doing wrong and is there anyone that can help me? Because now i am stuck with a iphone without music
Thanks on forehand,
Regards,
BoudewijnI'm having the same problem--iTunes crashes when it tries to sync music and podcasts to my iPhone 4. I've only had this problem since I installed Itunes 10.4.1.0. I'm hoping they'll come out with a 10.4.1.1 that fixes it...
I'm a little surprised that they don't have an option to submit crash diagnostic data. I'd be happy to share it with you guys, Apple! -
I have reorganised my music in the itunes folder in windows explorer. Now I can't sync all my music to a new iPad, or play the music from itunes (as it is looking in the old location). How do I repoint itunes to all my music?

ITunes deleted all the music on my ipod - help!
I purchased a fourth generation black and white screen 20GB ipod that had some music on it.
I've been listening to the music for about a week without bothering to connect up to my computer.
Today I installed the software that came with the ipod and updated to the newest versions of iTunes and Quicktime.
I connected my ipod when it told me to.
No music appeared in iTunes and all the music has been deleted from the ipod, the ipod menus for music are empty.
When I disconnect my ipod I now have no music to listen to.
Where did it go and how can I get it back?
Thank you.You might not bea ble to get it back. Invest $100 on itunes cards!

Itunes crashes when importing Music File or Folder ever since i updated it yesterday
You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). You may get a more useful error message as to which component has problems.

Upgraded my phone to iphone 6 from iphone 4. My iTunes with all my music is on a computer that no longer works and can't access the music. Will iTunes Match allow me to get my music off of my iphone 4 and put it on my iphone 6? Sorry about copying twice, new to this.
Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
Using Windows 7.
Any help please?From the top of the page where the scripts live...
The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

i restored my mac and all my music wiped from my mac and is still on my phone. how do i get the music from my phone to my mac i really need it!
Did you not have a Time Machine backup of your Macbook Pro or a clone backup on an external HD?
To copy music from the iPhone to your Mac -- except purchases from the Apple Store -- you need third-party software.

I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes. All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos. It said that they were in the wrong format. What to do?? I would have thought if I bought the films from itunes it would be compatible with an ipod classic?? How do you change the video format?
My mistake, it was nothing to do with format. It woldn't sync because my movies were HD. HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod. Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions. Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

Laptop crashed, iTunes music wiped out, how do I get music out of iPhone to my computer?
May I know whether it is possible to transfer my songs out of my iPhone music library to my computer or my new iTunes? The music files which i lost were mostly on soft copy.
Is it also possible to sync my iPhone to a new empty iTunes without losing my music files?
Thank you!Use the backup of the computer to put everything back.
Syncing is one way, computer to iDevice.
If for some silly reason you have chosen to not backup your important media and data, iTunes purchases can be transfered from the device or redownloaded from iTunes.
Google is your friend to find instructions.
