Music Library Deleted when upgraded to 7.4.1

Can it be restored?

If it was just taken out from your iTunes Library and not your computer, You can simply drag and drop the iTunes folder or open up your Playlist file (iTunes Library file).
Seeing as though you have Windows, I would put a random song into iTunes.
Go to File>Reveal in Explorer (something like that)
Then go up a few levels till you find the root of all your music.
Drag that folder into iTunes and wait a while.
If you find a file that say's playlist or iTunes Library around there, try to open that file first.
If there's an XML file, maybe you can File>IMport that file and see if it works.

  • Entire Music Library deleted when upgraded to 7.1 itunes, on Vista. HELP!

    I'm using a ipod nano, and I'm only able to get back a portion of my purchased music and none of the music that I have added from a CD. Is there any way, without having prior copied all music from the library to my ipod, getting it back in my library? This is complete BS.

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • My Music Gets Deleted When I Close Itunes

    Ok I am having a horrible time with Itunes, I have a lot of songs and about a week ago I rented a movie, which has never worked for me. When I went to play the movie my computer froze and I had to turn it off. When I turned it back on all my music was gone, not from my computer just from Itunes. Then I played around with it and I found out the my music gets deleted anytime I turn off Itunes. I un installed and reinstalled three times still no luck. I tried a couple of other things but to no avail. So please help

    when installing itunes, do you search your computer for mp3s(music)?
    I strongly recommend using a Library path like C:\Music\ as your Itunes Library,
    That path is easier to user than the normal one Itunes provides, because its short and also easy to find if you want to copy your music lets say to a mp3 player or a external hardrive.
    That way you can just reinstall itunes, go to edit->options->advanced (i dont know the exact english words) and set your library to your Music folder.
    Now you can simply add your folder to your library (make sure you uncheck "copy music to my itunes folder first, and afterwards recheck that option if you need it - I am unsure if Itunes would just double your library if u didnt).
    Adding folders to your Library is in the Data menu.
    If closing itunes now it should save the library just fine.

  • Music being deleted when i plug shuffle to PC

    Please tell me there is a way to disable my ipod from having its music deleted when i plug it into my pc with an empty music library. I'll add music to my ipod, then disconnect it. If i delete the music i added to my ipod from my itunes library, then connect the ipod again, my upod gets updated and the music is deleted. Why does this happen?

    Please tell me there is a way to disable my ipod from
    having its music deleted when i plug it into my pc
    with an empty music library. I'll add music to my
    ipod, then disconnect it. If i delete the music i
    added to my ipod from my itunes library, then connect
    the ipod again, my upod gets updated and the music is
    deleted. Why does this happen?
    Simply put... because that's the way it works.
    Should you just want to charge the Shuffle witout opening iTunes, UNcheck "Open iTunes..." in the Settings tab in iTunes, being sure to click on "Apply".

  • Entire Music Library Deleted

    iPod Touch 4th Gen.  For the past few years I've been using iTunes on my work computer to play music from my iPod Touch via Apple USB connector.  I add and remove all music on my iPod only from my home computer.  Over the past few days, iTunes on my work computer has been deleting my entire music library, over 4000 songs (with the exception of songs purchased from iTunes).  I've already restored and added these songs once from my home computer but this morning, the same thing happened.  I did select the option in iTunes to not automatically sync any devices and also have selected Manually Manage Music and Videos.  Not sure why all of the sudden I'm losing all stored music when plugging into another computer.  Any ideas??  Frustrated...

    Thanks.  Was this something that was changed with a newer iTunes release?  Just strange that I've been doing this for a few years now all of the sudden I'm losing all music  Too bad because it is easy to sort and search through iPod using iTunes. 

  • Jst got new computer and want to make it my main i-tunes for i-pod. It shows up when plugged in but it won't stay in the computers music library so when unplugged theres no music. Does it have to do with homesharing? How do I move orig stuff to new comp?

    I just downloaded i-tunes on my new computer because I want this one to be my main computer used with my i-pod. When I plug in my i-pod mine shows up, but my music and all my previous purchases aren't in the new computer so when I unplug my i-pod everything goes away and there is nothing. I am wondering how I get all of my original music and purchases that are on the other computer I was using with my i-pod onto this new computer. That way it shows up even if I don't plug my i-pod in. Does it have to do with homesharing? I have it on, do I need to turn it off from the main computer? I just everything in this computers i-tunes music library, not just my i-pods music when it's plugged in. Can someone please help, I don't know why this is so difficult.

    I am wondering how I get all of my original music and purchases that are on the other computer I was using with my i-pod onto this new computer.
    Try the iTunes for Windows forum area.

  • Library disappears when upgrading to 10

    Just upgraded to iTunes 10. My music library, playlists, podcasts, etc. all completely vanished.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I just had the same problem but I upgraded earlier today and everything seemed fine - all my music appeared to listed. It was playing music for a few hours. Then I spent about an hour at the long over due task of cleaning up info. Everything was fine then everything but the iPhone apps disappeared. The music is all there on the external drive, (the iphone app are the music folder). The library file in the music folder appears to be fine. But in iTunes preference I can not change the media folder location to the external disc.

  • Will iTunes-bought music be deleted when syncing with a computer?

    Let's say I buy a few songs on my iPad. Will they be deleted when I sync with iTunes on my computer?

    They should not be, they should be synced to the computer.
    Before syncing , click File>Transfer Purchases if you want to be sure.
