Lost my files in my library after upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1

I had purchased few songs this past year and tonight after upgrading my older version they disappeared from My Library. I checked in my account and the information with the songs and the date of purchase is there, but there is no information as to re-downloaded again. Can anyone help me recover my music?

Maria,
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to find your missing music.
If you're not able to find the music, at their discretion Apple has made one-time exceptions to the "one download" policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/backup/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • Some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0

    some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0
    have upgraded and some songs which used to play on iTunes 7 no longer play. album art is missing. when trying to play on of these songs, nothing appears in the playbar at the top of the window.
    it seems the same problem exists in the mac os environment.

    The solution I discovered to fix this problem was to create a smart playlist with all song of a kind containing MPEG. Then I went through album by album, and coverted ID3 tags using the value of NONE. This then enabled me to play the songs in iTunes 8.0 and in many cases restored the Album Art.
    Thanks!

  • Lost iTunes Library after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 HELP PLEASE

    I have two issues on hand : after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 I opened iTunes and all of my music was gone except for about 1,000+ songs (3.2 GB) when I originally had about 20GB worth of songs. How can I recover my full library into iTunes ?
    Second issue: when importing new CDs into iTunes 7.7 it only plays a fraction of each song before moving on to another song, whereas iTunes shows that I have the full song imported.
    I really appreciate someone's help here, and does the latest version of iTunes have a bug ??

    Further to my last post, I find that the purchased songs have been retained in the iTunes Library of my Mac Book - is there any way iI can restore them to the iMac?

  • Lost all photos/albums from library after upgrade to 5.0.2

    After auto-updating iPhoto to version 5.0.2, I no longer have any photos or albums in my iPhoto library. Where did they go? I can't even find specific titles using a search of the hard drive. What can I do to get them back?
    -Mike

    Mike,
    iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    As to why they don't show up in the source column of iPhoto after the rebuild, I don't know why. Do all your images show up when you open iPhoto?
    Is there anything listed in the source column other than "library"?
    Here is another post with the same problem.

  • Can't open my recent library after upgrading to iTunes 10.4

    I did a bunch of requested software updates and apparently the new version of iTunes won't recognize my library on an external drive. It upgrade the one on my hard drive but wont let me access the one on the external drive where my monster library exists. How can I get this to be recogonized?

    the library file may be corrupted.
    you could try this:

    before you do that, try just selecting the iTunes folder (not the library file inside it).

  • Missing files - corrupt library after upgrade to 11.1.4

    I updated iTunes to 11.1.4, and after launching, it looked like it was updating my library as it's done in the past.  However, this time, after an hour I realized it had not yet completed, and a dialogue box asking about creating an iTunes U playlist was on the screen.  I tried to do so, but it just kept repeating.  So finally I stopped it, and now I have an file marked iTunes library (damaged) and an incomplete library.  I am missing thousands of songs compared to the last .itl I have in Previous iTunes Libraries.
    I thought when iTunes did an upgrade to the library it was supposed to make a backup? If so, and I did the upgrade yesterday, why is the most recent file in Previous iTunes Libraries dated from four months ago?
    How can I repair the damaged .itl file, as the one iTunes is using now as, as I mentioned, missing thousands of songs now.
    Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library? 
    Thanks in advance.

    No, you need to do the backup as part of regular computer maintenance and before you do any software upgrades.  iTunes moves the old library into the previous library area but perhaps your update failed before it did that.

    Is there any sort of script or utility I can use to figure out exactly which files are missing from the current .itl in my library?
    Yes, there's one on the Dougscripts web site that will crawl through a library.  In yur case it's probably just as easy to drag the whole iTunes media folder to Automatically Add to iTunes.  Anything already in the library it will ignore.  Anything not there it will add.

    recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
    Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
    I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
    Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

  • Lost music files after upgrading to itunes 7

    Hi, can someone please confirm whether or not my music files have been physically deleted from my computer after upgrading to itunes 7. Many of the songs in my playlist, including MOST of the songs purchased through itunes come up with the error that the original file can't be found. I've done searches and can't come up with the files.
    I want to know if they are indeed gone.
    I realize that you click "I agree" to the agreement before installing and as of now this "contract" has held up. However, we'll see how well it holds up when offered software is knowingly removing personal files. I'm sure that if someone were to write a virus that destroys your computer, if it had a warning message with an "I agree" button, it would be a very difficult contract to stand by.
    To my recollection, no software in the past has physically removed personal files from your harddrive on install.
    So, I don't think a precedence has been set for this kind of class action.

    and we refresh.

  • I lost my i-tunes online purchase after upgrade to snow leopard...

    Hi
    I lost my i-tunes online purchases after upgrade to snow leopard...
    Is there any way to retrieve them?

    Awesome. I had a feeling it could still be there. I'm very happy for you!
    Two things you can do now:
    1.) Add all of these files into iTunes by using "Add to Library" and selecting the iTunes Media folder. This is the easiest method, but you lose your original iTunes settings, playlists, play counts, ratings, etc.
    2.) A slightly more advanced method however will let you salvage your iTunes library and restore it the way it was before. Use finder to look at Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries. In that folder, check to see if there is one dated near today's date (or when the reset happened to you). If there is a very recent one, you can restore to that date. What you'll want to do is take that file, and MOVE it back up one level to the iTunes folder.
    Currently in your iTunes folder is a file named iTunes Library (this is the active, and blank one) and now you should have the dated one as well. You can DELETE the iTunes Library one, and rename the dated one "iTunes Library".
    Then hold OPTION while loading iTunes, and when asked to choose a library, select Choose Library, and navigate to Music/iTunes, and pick the "iTunes Library" file you just moved and renamed.
    If all goes well, your songs, playlists, ratings, and etc. should all be back to the way it was. Just do "Add to Library" and select the iTunes Media folder to make sure nothing was excluded between the backup and your copy before it reset.
    Hope this helps!

  • I lost hundreds of pictures from iPhoto after upgrading to Mavericks

    I lost hundreds of pictures from iphoto after upgrading to mavericks. does anyone know why or how to retrieve them. i cannot find them on time machine either.

    and
    Why do you think you have lost "hundreds" of pictures?
    What exactly are you seeing
    You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • My labels have disappeared from every pic in my iPhoto library after upgrade to work with yosemite

    MMy labels have disappeared from every picture in my iPhoto library after upgrading to work with Yosemite.

    I didn't do anything to the LaCie when I got it. 
    Then that's likely the issue.
    Select the drive on the Desktop and go File -> Get Info. You can find out the format in that window:

    can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11.  Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11.  Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

    when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version.  We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
    When we try to open iphoto is says:
    To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
    To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
    We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto.

  • I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite

    I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite.

    Can you open any file, i.e. jpeg, etc.? Have you installed the Apple legacy Java: Java for OS X 2014-001? I'm guessing you have because you wouldn't be able to open PS at all without it. But have to ask.

    How do I get iphoto to upgrade photo library after upgrading os from snowleopard to yosemite?

    To add to OT's advice:
    You may need to delete your current iPhoto from the Applications folder, if it is a version of iPhoto '11, before the App Store will allow you to download it from the main page.
    To locate iPhoto at the AppStore, open the "Featured" tab and enter "iPhoto" into the search field.
