"iTunes Musik Library.xml" and "iTunes Library" Files are gone...

On the Macbook of my brother these files are totally missing. Can´t even find them with Spotlight.
he has an "iTunes Music"-folder where his Albums are store in.
iTunes is still running but many Songs have lost their link.
He has an amount of songs with the same name "Titel 01, Titel 02..." so it´s very hard to repair the links.

You would need to download iTunes on comp and download purchases again (you don't have to pay again) and upload your CDs again IF you sync your iPad to your computer it will erase everything

  • HT201269 My PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music does exist on iPad. How do I get the music that had been downloaded from iTunes and copied from my CDs onto new PC from iPad. Would rather not use cloud.

    PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music both purchased  and copied from CDs is on iPad. How do I get the music back onto the PC without using the cloud. Afraid if sync will wipe all music from iPad.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and all my files are gone

    I upgraded to Yosemite on my Macbook pro and once it restarted after the install, my desktop was empty and all my documents are gone.
    I do have a time machine backup on an external drive but I am hesitant to connect it for fear of losing overriding that data too.
    I did get an error that the library need to be repaired so I am wondering if the update did not process correctly

    I'm seeing a lot of activity about this on other forums about like this one: "
    Mail index damaged after yosemite upgrade"
    I'm betting I'm seeing the same problem. Should I try this?:
    Try re-indexing and rebuilding the mailbox:

    Hi Susan ...
    Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk and reinstall the Mac OS X if necessary.
    Lion Recovery can also help you restore your files from a Time Machine backup.

  • Just Installed Leopard and all my files are GONE!

    Yesterday I installed Leopard and now all of my files are gone. I don't remember being asked how I wanted to install it...but on www.apple.com/support, it said that there were options like "Erase and Install." I don't remember choosing that, but if I had, is there any way to restore my files or does it do a zero erase of the hard drive? I don't have anything backed up, so thus far, I have lost 3 term papers that I was in the middle of and don't have anywhere else... Can anyone help?

    Even with minor OS patches and updates, I don't rely on "just do it" but verify and repair, backup, and only then apply updates (and lately, waiting a week first).
    Stop using that disk.
    See if Data Rescue II demo can see anything or not (you should install 10.4.10 on another disk drive and work from there, guess you are now?)
    Pre-existing errors that you weren't away of? If anything I've thought for a long time that installers should:
    warn about and offer to backup
    set a restore point in some manner
    verify and repair the boot drive
    ( and this would be done in Single User Mode behind the back )
    updates should be written to disk, but applied on restart, again in Single user mode
    No weekly or monthly backup routine or schedule? no DVDs with your photos and papers? not in 3 yrs!!! kind of hard to understand you never heard of backups, or burned a DVD of documents for "safe keeping."

  • I authorized my computer last night and all my purchased files were there. I opened the computer today and the purchased files are gone and I am 100% sure that no one deleted them. My account is authorized, please help!!!

    I keep authorizing and deauthorizing my account, but nothing is working. Please give me some advice!

  • .xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

    I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?

  • ITunes library not available but library files are still stored on computer

    My iTunes has been acting up since day one when it claimed that i was using a different computer after an update but now it wont let me access my iTunes library. Nothing is there - no purchased history, no music library, nothing.
    I'm logged in using my usual account details and up to the other day everything was fine - i watched a film on iTunes, turned off my PC and then nothing was there anymore.
    I checked my documents folder and all the files are still in there, in fact i can double click on them and they independently load up iTunes and then run but still arent listed in my library. I put another cd on today, rebooted the PC and the cd isn't listed either but is still in the correct folder on the hard drive.
    Am i doing something really stupid or is this another quirk???

    Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
    Quitting iTunes.
    Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
    Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
    Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
    So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
    Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

    Does iTunes still play the tracks that haven't been consolidated or do they now have broken links? If the links are broken are the tracks still, in fact, in their original locations?
