My music is missing!! please help!!

i didnt use my ipod for 1 week. and when i did use it again. all the songs were missing from my ipod. i cant use itunes to restore everything because all the songs were deleted. and i havnt connected my ipod anywhere it was left sitting. how can i get my music back?
thanks

The same thing happened to me. I emailed itunes and they redownloaded all my purchased music for me. They did warn me that they could only do that for me one time though. That is why I am sitting here right now saving all my purchased music to blank cd's.

The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.

Found the solution.

Hi JimHdk,
I have also upgraded to ios6.1.3, and facing same wifi connecting problem, after upgrade my iphone3gs is not connecting to my laptop shared wifi, which was working perfect with ios6.1.2,
and its not an hardware error, its software error, crippy apple does not test their releases which causes problem to users.
Updates:
Earlier wifi connection which i was using on my Iphone 3gs, was WPA2, which was shared from my laptop via "Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", was working perfectly till ios6.1.2, but when i have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3, my iphone 3gs became unable to join wifi,
Today I have created "adhoc network" on my laptop using "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n"(default wifi adapter of my laptop), and kept security type "WEP", and found my wifi working fine with my iphone 3gs,
So if someone using LAN internet on their laptop, they can share their LAN internet to use on their ios devices, via creating an 'adhoc network',
How to create an 'Adhoc Network',
choose Security Type : WEP (compatible with ios6.1.3)

The new iTunes update gives me no option for a "share" tab on the side bar for me to play home shared music. why? please help i need to listen to beyonce!! plzzz

The new iTunes update gives me no option for a "share" tab on the side bar for me to play home shared music. why? please help i need to listen to beyonce!! plzzz

"share tab on the side bar ..."
iTunes has not had a sidebar for over a year. You can see one (as iTunes 10 used to show) by doing View > Show Sidebar from iTunes' menu.
But I'm not sure if that is your issue. You do not need a sidebar to do home sharing. Are you running the current iTunes (11.1.3)? Have you turned on sharing in Preferences? Have you done File > Turn on Home Sharing?

I restored my iphone now my music,setting and appstore apps are missing please help

My music,setting, and appstore apps are missing how can i get them back please help!!!

The apps mentioned cannot be missing as they are a part of iOS.
Search all homescreens and folders, they are there somewhere.
If you are still unable to find them, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Homescreen Layout. They should be findable via a Spotlight search if the Settings app is not viewable on the homescreen.
Alternatively, restore the device as new.

Importing all my music to iTunes(Please help me out)

Hello,
I just purchased a 20gb ipod today and am havintg some trouble importing all of my music. I have complete music library's in "RealPlayer" "Winamp" and "Windows Media Player", it doesnt matter which one of these i import from(whatevers easier i guess). I have tried the add folder option on "Documents and settings", "my documents" and "program files" and it has only imported around 600 of the 3600 songs in my music library.
Also, i have read pages and pages on this board trying to find an answer. I saw one post which talked about this very issue but it was never resolved. It confronted importing from windows media to iTunes and the answer was to highlight all the music and drag it over to iTunes. This Does Not Work. I highlight all my song, hold down on the mouse and move it over to the iTunes box. However once i leave the Windows media box the arrow from my mouse turns into a circle w/a line acrosse, not allowing me to drag it.
Please Give me an answer on how I can import all my music to iTunes. If you do I will kiss your feet and applaud your genious.
Please help me out.
Josh

Hi,
No. I never found a solution to the problem to import my music libary from Realplayer to itunes.
I have exhausted everything that I know and have read as tips from this and other posts.
Please come back to post an answer if you find a solution and I will do the same.
I am going to go ahead and just synch to Realplayer to fill up my ipod. Then I will see if I can switch to itunes for all future synching and hope that I can find a way not to lose the music on my ipod that came from Realplayer. If this doesn't work, I will have to stick with Realplayer as my main music interface and synching for ipod.

Can't download my iTunes Match collection of music anymore! PLEASE HELP! (Pics to prove!)

Hi!
There is probably a pretty easy fix for this situation - it's just I can't figure out what it is. Thanks in advance for your help.
Here's my situation;
1. I have a pretty large collection of music which I paid to match a couple years ago. My computer which I originally used to subscribe to iTunes match has died. No problem right? Since I have already subscribed to iTunes Match. But wait...
2. I wanted to download my entire music collection onto another one of my computers just because I want to keep a back-up of all my music - just incase some time in the future I do NOT want to subscribe to iTunes Match anymore.
3. While I was able to download most of my collection - a ton of songs were not downloaded. But instead, I see as pictured in [1] below, an exclaimation point in a circle to the left of the song, and a cloud icon with an exclaimation point in it under the "Match" column.
4. I am still able to play these songs - and download them individually, but not without going through a 4 step process FOR EACH SONG!!!
THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY to download all my music without going through this ridiculous process.
[1] STEP ONE - Select the song I want to download. If I double click it - I first see this message below that says, "The song "the beatles - Beetles-Hey Jude" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So, since I no longer have the original file, I click "Cancel". BUT, that's exactly the moment when THE SONG STARTS PLAYING - and the the cloud icon with the exclaimation point turns to a could icon with an down-arrow letting me know that I can now download the file. (Go to step 2)
[2] BUT when I click that cloud icon with the down arrow, the cloud icon with the down arrow changes back to the cloud icon with the exclaimation point and then I get this message that says "The item was not added to iCloud because an error occurred." But the song seems to have downloaded in the right folder in my iTunes music folder. So, I hit OK, and I and I am still able to play this song. (Go to step 3)
[3] So at this stage, I am not sure why there is the CLoud icon with the Exclaimation point in it next to the song. Because it was just downloaded from the cloud, into my iTunes folder. But never the less the cloud icon with the exclaimation point is still there. The only way I can now get rid of that is to right click and select - "Add to iCloud".
[4] So now you see here below, STEP 4 - Hey Jude is downloaded, and matched to the cloud. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY! Please help.

I have the same problem!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-I'm having some serious problems with installing iTunes on my laptop. I have searched and searched the internet and can not find any solution to my problem. I am receiving the error "itunes is not a valid win32 application' after the program finishes downloading. Sometimes however it will just stop in the middle of the download. I use a SONY VAIO VGN-NW25GF which was only purchased last year. It uses windows 7. I had trouble downloading itunes to begin with though eventually it worked, however since the new 10.1 update has been available ive been attempting to update it almost every time i use itunes. Each and every time it fails and i've had enough as i need to update my iphone software. I’ve since uninstalled both itunes and quicktime hoping it will reinstall properly. But nothing, the same problem is occurring and now i have no itunes program!
I've tried all the solutions online about deleting browing history/temp folder and any itunessetup.exe/quicktimesetup.exe files and nothing works. I've also tried downloading using a different browser and still nothing. I’ve done a virus scan, disk cleanup and disk defragment and NOTHIGN is working. I'm starting to get quite frustrated as i need this program for my iphone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks 

My music information- GONE please help!

I am trying to move itunes 10 from old pc to new pc. All my music is on an external HD. I had my music library of over 500 cd's all organized by artist in folders on the external hd. Now, the new itunes install on the new pc has re-organized my external hd and all the folders are gone! Please help me get them back. How can itunes change my own external HD?? It has put all the songs together under a folder called 'unknown atrist'. The title of the song is still there but all my folders are gone!

Maybe turingtest2 (a regular AD poster) can help with his script, TagFromFilename.
Just try one or two files to make sure it works how you want, before you run it on the whole shebang. I think it will help, but I'm not sure.

Good luck. You're going to need it!

IBooks author: Can't open the file because "index.xml" is missing, please help!,

A project that I was working on yesterday and I didn't close it, today when I wanted to work on it and opened a new page there was a huge X on the page so I decided to quit ibooks then reopen it, saved all my changes first of course, but then when I tried opening it literally 10 seconds later it says the index.xml file is missing, this is my technology project due tomorrow please help!

This or a simmilar problems arose just after the last iBA update. There is a very long thread dealing with this.
I had a similar problems and nothing cured it until I contacted support and they gave me a link to upload to their server, they repaired my file and I downloaded it.
It actually took from start to finish about 2 weeks.
I "huge X" on any page usually indicates an image or similar content is missing.
The usual suggestions are to close everything down and do a re-boot.
I suggest a search of this forum for the thread may be an idea. Try this
https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerTy pe=&container=&spotlight=false&q=index.xml+file+is+missing
If you make a copy of your book file and change .iba to .zip, you can open the file and check if the index page really is missing.

BUZZING AND CRACKLING WHILE WATCHING VIDEO OR LISTENING TO MUSIC...PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi, I have an HP Pavillion dv6 notebook PC with windows 7 (bought last december) and for the past month it has been crackling and buzzing more and more every time I watch a video of any kind or listen to music...with volume loud or soft, regardless I have another program working at the same time or not, etc...I installed the lastest driver which I got from another post (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-78787-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&...) and still nothing, no improvement!! I've spent sooo long searching for a solution and am incapable, I'm desperate! If anyone could please help me I would be so very gratefull!! thanks so much!

Are you using WMP? I have a similar-ish issue, where if I play mp3's from my hard disks, and skip forward and click next a couple of times, WMP can lock-up for a few secs. In task manager I see it stick on 98% while it does this. Playing music from CD etc works fine, just from hard drives (SATA/IDE all the same). But if I use winamp I dont get this annoyance.
Using latest drivers from realtek, and everything else for this mobo. No other programs or applications running at the same time.

Can not open Music App. Please Help me.

Hi.
First of all, this is my device's spec.
iPhone 4 / iOS5
Today, music app was broken.
I was just trying to download some music files on Potcast while playing music using music app.
Suddenly music was turned off, and music app's not opened anymore.
Just this screen shows up for 1~2 secs when I tap music app.
I tried close and re-open the app, but not worked.
Rebooting my iPhone is not working too.
What should i do?
Please, help me. It's very urgent. T.T

Or sometimes, just simply quitting the app from the "Dock" will solve it.
Double click the Home button, Hold the Music app until it wobbles then press the X in the corner.
Tap your home screen again and open it up again

All Facebook friends profile pictures are missing, please help?

Fonts are missing, please help

I just got a new laptop and when I installed Photoshop Elements onto it, all my favorite fonts were missing. I had PSE on my old laptop and it had almost twice as many fonts as this one does, but I never downloaded any extras. I don't know how to get them back. Can I download them? Please help!

I am new to this forum and new to using Photoshop Elements 9 so I have a few questions of my own. I think I do know about fonts and where they are stored/located. Seems like you used the fonts that were installed on your computers under windows>fonts so they were available to all software on your computer. If you did not make a backup of those font's I'm afraid you will have to find them one by one again and install them on your new computer.
You either buy them or download them from the internet (free fonts) and put them in the appropriate directory. Go to START > computer > C (if that is where windows is installed) > fonts.
If there's fonts you install for use in Photoshop only, I have yet to learn about that.
Hope this helps.
