ITunes randomly rearranged my library, how can I get everything back in proper order?

Randomly, iTunes decided to rearrange my whole library. If I sort my library by artists, I have artists mixed together and completely out of order. C's, K's, and R's mixed with A's and so on. It is consistent throughout the library.
Initially the problem was that iTunes created duplicates of titles, album covers, and artists overtop of other songs so I needed to play all of the songs in the Library to get the original and correct information back. But now, everything is still sitting out of order and will not change back regardless of what I've tried.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated, as it's a HUGE pain trying to find artists and songs when everything is random and out of order.

Click ANY heading at the top of the track list. It will sort (up or down) by that category

I accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back?

i accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back? I'm not sure how I did it, but I do know something has been wierd ever since. i remember using it and arranging songs, and then, bing! Songs were missing. Please help!
Not quite sure what info you need to answer this. I dont have all my music synced to icloud unfortunately...at least not that i'm aware of.

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

My music has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

The music I have purchased from the itunes store has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

There is a way of getting your music back if you have purchased it - go to the itunes store, click "purchased" under the "quick links" on the right hand side of the page, near the top, and then it allows you to re-download anything that you have purchased under that apple id. Phew! Over 200 songs - I'm glad i found this out!

You need to talk to clash of clans first. The game should have a support link.
If they can't/won't help you then you turn to iTunes support.
There seem to be a lot of issues with in app purchases in this game because not a day goes by that someone doesn't post a thread asking something similar.

Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
You did create a backup, correct? Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
iOS devices are NOT backup devices.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or you can use third-party software like Phone to PC to transfer your music.

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes via the USB cable. iTunes should open and give you instructions. If not, open iTunes and retore the iPod via iTunes.

Use the backup you made before installing any new software on the computer.

How can I get everything back on my iphone?!?!

All my data has been erased and when I tried to back it up from my laptop it did not work!
I had backed everything up on to my laptop up to date so it should have restored my phone
but when I plugged the phone into my laptop it also erased things from my computer...
HELP! How can I get my data back?

If everything is on the laptop, either sync it back or restore the device from the most current backup in iTunes.

HT1364 after moving itunes media folder to different disk drive i think i have lost most of my library how can i get it back?

due to lack of memory space i moved my itunes media library,only now i think i have lost most of my library as the i tunes page comes up empty,no playlists,no music, no music videos,no tv shows. can anyone help?

Hong Kong,
I don't think it is lost. I think it is on the other hard drive where you put it.
There are better and worse ways to move a library. If possible, put it back the way it was, and then move it by following this guide: iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder

Deleted an i-tune album from de library, how can I get it back?

Hello,
I recently bought an album in the i-tunes store but by mistake I deleted it from the library, thinking that it would still be kept in the purchased folder. Before that I downloaded the album to my i-pod but I cant work out how to get it back from the i-pod to the library or purchased folder. Can you help me? Or can I download the album from the i-tunes store again without extra charges? Thank you

Hi!
You deleted it from the library. Did you also delete it from the computer? Check your computer for files that end in .m4p Those are your purchased files. It is possible to remove something from the iTunes library without actually deleting the files.
If you did erase them, then there are instructions around here (search for iPod to iTunes, that should get you the instructions), or as mentioned, third party solutions on iLounge.
After you get the data back, consider making backups whenever your purchases get to the point that you would not want to buy them again. For me, that's pretty much whenever I buy an album

ITunes has deleted 1,500 songs off my iTunes library, how can I get them back?

I left my iTunes library opened, when I came back there was a message saying that icloud had been activated and my music had stopped. Then all my music had disappeared except for the ones which I've purchased off iTunes, this being a small minority of my library as I love purchasing the actual CDs. Not happy, what do I do?

The SIM has nothing to do with that. She used your Apple ID to buy apps/music, thus your contacts that were synched with iCloud got replicated on her phone. Any changes she made got reeplicated on her phone. There is no way to recover the deleted contacts unless you backed up your phone.
Your daughter needs to get her own Apple ID.

HT1451 I have lost about 500 songs from my i tunes library how can i get them back?

new pc down loaded itunes connected ipode for new purchases 11/10 to snyth ended up with new songs
and about 100 ofthe old ones so lost about 5oo songs .
do you have support store in the algarve as i am not technical

Ideally you would have backed up your iTunes library from your old PC so that you could simply migrate the iTunes library into the new one. If you don't have access to the old hard drive or a backup see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Though it is probably too late to recover anything from the nano it should explain how to get anything from the iTunes store that you haven't already gone and has some useful tips should you ever be in the same position again.
