Ripping my hair out...my music has completely disappeared, except for my most recent purchase. Help!

From about a year ago up until I attempted to access it today, my Itunes music has been stored in the cloud and all of it was accessible in my Itunes on my W7 PC.
Today, my music has ALL disappeared except for my most recent purchase of about a month ago.
I've tried everything I can find, and NOTHING will make it reappear.
Help??

maybe it does have to do with other apps. i wish i would have paid attention to when this started occuring so i could narrow down which application might be the culprit.
the only thing that seems to be working right now is if i take my loop folders out of library/audio. i dragged some to my desktop (don't ask me why i did this) and imported them from there. for some reason they are staying in my loop browser. also when asked where i wanted to put the files, i selected them to go where the rest of the loops are at....in the proper directory. i'm thinking of trying this with all the loops and see what happens. something is corrupted and i'd like to know what and why. i admit, which i am embarrassed about, my computer is a mess. i really need to organise it and all that. actually, i am hoping hoping hoping to get a macbook just for my music. it would make life easier for me seeing i am quickly running out of room on all my hard drives.
the only loops i am having trouble locating are all the ones i made recently. which i am upset about. but i am sure they are here somewhere. i just need ot wade through the mess to find them.
thank you for your help.

HT1451 Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!

Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
Hours and Hours of renaming, adding cover photos and so on have been for nothing. Itunes cannot find the files since they're not in the library at all!
I still have the music on my computer but don't want to add it as it is, as I have spent a lot of time "fixing" it! PLEASE HELP!

Did you use spotlight to search? (I'm assuming you have a Mac as given above despite this thread being in the Windows forum). How long have you used iTunes on this computer? Is there a backup to your library, perhaps an only copy of it on a machine you've "retired". Is the media present in the media folder? (Yes, you've answered that earlier.) If so then the media files should have absorbed all the tag changes that you made and reimporting the media into a new library might not be a complete disaster, though playlists, playcounts, ratings etc. would be irretrievably lost.

HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases. Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

My toolbar has completely disappeared. I still have the back arrows on the far left, but everything else is just ... gone. I've tried stopping Firefox and restarting several times, but nothing is changing. All the toolbars are checked in the view menu.

(p.s. I do suspect a deletion has occurred courtesy of my 4 year old nephew, some other stuff has gone too, but beats me how he deleted a whole program!!!)

Hi clorowan
I found the following information that may be helpful:

Library completely disappeared - want to upload from my iPod - Help !

Hi, don't know what's happened, definitley haven't touched anything, but my iTunes Library has completely disappeared....I have restored from the iTunes folder in 'My Music' on Windows XP but only half of the songs are there.
Luckily my iPod has all of the music library on it, and I tried to restore from there, but I got the message "The iPod Nano is synced with another iTunes Library" and offered me the option to erase the iPod and replace it with the new library (which I didn't do of course !)
Lost for what to do next - I really don't want to have to cross refer the library and my iPod and restore missing tracks, there will be far too many.
Any suggestions gratefully received !!

Uninstalled Roboform and everything has been deleted except for the icon in my launchpad.

I just uninstalled Roboform from my mac and all has been deleted except for the roboform icon in Launchpad, drag & drop does not work so am at a loss as to how to get rid of it. All icons in the Applications folder along with all files have gone but this one persists.
Anyone out there any ideas. The Robofrom site and faq's have nothing on it and contacting them is fraught with setting up user & password so not going there.
Thanks to all who may respond.

Simply drag the icon to the trash and empty the trash.
Cheers

HT6012 I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie. Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes. What do I do?

I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie. Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes. Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly. What do I do?

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

DVD drive has completely disappeared.

My DVD drive seems to have completely disappeared The last thing I did before shutting down was watch a DVD.
The next time I booted up the DVD was gone from my desktop, when selecting the DVD player it says "A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012], iPhoto says there is no burning device, System Profiler says "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly." Hitting the eject button on either the keyboard or in iTunes does nothing...I don't even get the eject icon that flashes in the middle of the screen. There has been no change or update to my OS. I'm clueless people. Can someone please help? Thanks for your time...

This has just happened to me. I was playing, ripping, burning DVDs without a problem and then, over the weekend, the SuperDrive just quit operating accompanied by the same messages the original poster detailed. I find it hard to accept the Superdrive just "died" but I've done everything, I mean EVERYTHING, and I can't get it start responding again. At a certain point, I guess there is nothing else to do other than replace the drive but I can't help but feeling there has to be some way to bring this drive back to life. It wasn't giving out any sign that there was a physical problem and there was no period of time of spotty operation. I keep thinking if I could find some info about flashing the Superdrive's firmware or replacing the drive's driver/kext files, one of these would end up "fixing" the drive but it seems like once the drive goes "bad" everyone ends up replacing the drive rather than trying to track down any fix. A replacement drive is cheap enough and the capabilities of the newer Superdrives are superior so maybe I need to get over it and just realize replacing the drive is actually the more efficient and effective course of action but I still wonder if there isn't a system/system software problem that will end up re-emerging with a new drive.

(Is it possible to reinstall only the wf part of the 11g database as to attempt a fresh installation, not only to drop the OWFMGR schema as the oc4j wf instance remains unchanged? Have searched in OUI for this option but did not find the setting for removing only the workflow for reinstalling)
Thank you!!!

Hi Srini,
Thank you very much for your help. Have reviewed the mentioned notes, but unfortunately no information was contained concerning the encountered error.
As to try and address the situation, have completely re-installed Oracle DB 11.1.0.6 and still the workflow installation ends in error. I have to mention that it is a completely fresh installation, no modifications were made to the base configuration.
For windows the installation steps reference only running the wfinstall.bat script with the appropriate parameters for installing Oracle Workflow, but unfortunately it appears that the installation documentation is lacking some necessary steps as on a out of the box install the process does not complete successfully. The mentioned notes: 266612.1 and 351873.1 do not contain the information for troubleshooting the encoutnered issue.
The environment: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 64b Operating System with Oracle DB 11.1.0.6

Non purchased itunes music has suddenly disappeared

All of the music in my itunes on my pc has suddenly disappeared, with the exception of the (small) amount of music that I have downloaded from the itunes store. I am assuming that the files are still on my pc hard drive somehwere but that itunes for some reason is no longer locating them. Any suggestions anybody?! Thanks.

I am having the same problem, upgrade of computer from Dell 754 to Dell 900, XP to 7 so because I do not have an external harddrive, have synced my iPod touch to my new iTunes on new computer. Now my delimma is how do I get the 'purchased' iTunes list to my music library. This is 700+ songs not seen in my music library.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there
I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
Thanks
Jules

My entire iTunes library has disappeared from my Itunes (except for 5 songs i purchased yesterday from iStore. Had about 300 songs!! Anyone know how this cd happen? Have Windows Vista. Computer did recent Windows update. Also recently renewed Trend.

My entire Library of songs (over 300) has suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Only songs there are 5 I just purchased from iStore yesterday. Has never happened before. Windows recently installed some updates. I also recently renewed my Trend anti-virus. I have no idea where the Library went. Have done a Search of computer and checked Recycle bin....the songs are gone. WHAT happened????? Can I get them back from Apple somehow? Can I restore them from my Ipod? (I am afraid to plug in the iPod because if it Syncs, am afraid it will also dump all my songs. What can I do????

a) See: How to rename your iPod.
b & c) If you can still the view hidden files, see this Music from iPod to computer.
"I see LOTS of files - but they all have funky names like XYZAV.mp3"
That's normal. When those files are back in iTunes they'll have the correct names.
Once the files are back to your computer (and only then), you should restore your iPod. It would appear that the hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable.

Ripping my hair out...my music has completely disappeared, except for my most recent purchase. Help!
