    ''''' "My bookmarks from firefox were all on IE. " '''''
    That wouldn't happen automatically, Firefox doesn't synchronize bookmarks with IE favorites.
    Any chance you were using Google Bookmarks in Firefox? And then with the Google Toolbar not working any longer you just can't access your Google Bookmarks from within Firefox ??

  • I had to wipe my PC, now itunes has lost all my music?

    Hi everyone (HELP) iphone 3gs
    I had to wipe my PC I had backed up all my files to external harddrive, re loaded them on new PC and discovered when I plugged my iphone in to sync all my music files had dissapeared from itunes. itunes recognised my phone no probs when I plugged it in on new PC.
    I thought everytime you plugged the iphone in it says it is making a backup of your phone if so how do I get it back (what really annoys me is that itunes in the first place took all my music file over and put it on to itunes if it hadn't of done this all my music would still be in my music folder outside of itunes).

    Hi
    If I go into "my music" on the pc there is no music as itunes took it over.
    there is an itunes folder but I can't access anything in it.
    when you say did I restore itunes after the wipe how was I supposed to do that? I just plugged my phone in and it recognised it, its just that if you click on the music folders they are all empty, I didnt have all the music on my phone just some.
    I don't ask itunes to backup my data I just noticed it says that's what it is doing just before it syncs.

  • Um iTunes has 'lost' all my music - Any advice?

    I was messing about with iTunes preferences the weekend and although the songs still exist within the iTunes application the folders containing the original MP3 files are empty, all that remains is the album artwork in some of them.
    Its iTunes V9 on Windows Vista. I have Googled for the answer without any success. I cant restore from the iPod as its only a 4GB Nano. What the heck have I done????

  • ITunes has lost all my music, playlists, ratings and preferences

    My stuff is backed up on an external drive, but if I reload it and sync my iPod, I lose all playlists, ratings and so on. Any suggestions as to how (and if) I can get my old prefs, playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. back? I turned off my computer in the evening, switched it on uneventfully in the morning, went to sync my iPod and was told that it was synced to another computer (not so). Checked iTunes and found that it was a clean slate.

  • Itunes has lost all music file locations

    Itunes has lost the location of ALL the music files in the library. I have not moved my files so I believe it may have happened when Itunes updated a few days ago. If this is the case, it is not very smart of the programmers! When I locate individual songs, Itunes only finds the other songs that are in the same subfolder, that leaves about 5000 files missing! I realise I can import my whole music folder but this will revert a lot of incorrect track information that I have manually edited over the months.
    I would love some help as all the other posts seem to refer to slightly different problems and can never get around the problem of files being in various subfolders.
    Thanks.

    Hey Lhatcher1987,
    That can definitely be stressful, but there's an article that can help you find the media you expected to appear in iTunes. I'd read through it and see if that helps you find the missing music:

  • My iPod Classic 160GB has lost all its music and won't sync or restore

    My iPOD Classic 160GB has spontaneously lost all its music - approx. 5000 songs. One minute they were all there, now they're all gone - display says "No Music" although memory still shows 23GB in use? I tried to re-sync on iTunes but the iPod won't sync (error 1415) or restore (error 1439). As things currently stand,my iPod is just a very expensive paperweight - please can anybody help with this?

    hi lindsay
    i understand you have all your music still in your itunes library?
    Try the basic resetting of your ipod,also try another usb port.
    Have you tried ,when ipod is connected,click on your ipods name,for example lindsays ipod,another window should open up and you can see  summary,click on the sync box ,bottom right hand corner,see if this helps.
    Or you could ,when you have itunes open,click for updates.
    hope this may help you
    thanks madforit

  • When i updated itunes I lost all my music, I was able to retrieve it from my previous version, but now a artists have all of their songs list under one unknown cd.  How can I seperate these cds with the correct songs included?

    When I updated itunes I lost all of my music, I was able to retrieve it from a previous itunes library, but now some artists have all of their songs listed under one "unknown album."  Is there a way to separate these songs back into the correct albums?  Also, is there a way to make songs that have a featured guest just show up with the rest of the album instead of making a whole new spot for it?  Thanks!

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • Itunes has lost all music and no files located on laptop apart from one.

    Hi,
    We have recently downloaded all our CDs into itunes to clear them out and have them successfully on our devices. I went to reorganise my music and change things and discovered that my music library looks like it is there but says cannot locate file. I have tried to search for the albums but they are nowhere. There is my most recent download and I can search for that and it plays but that is all. Please help...we no longer have the albums and have purchased a lot through itunes.
    Thanks.

  • Library has lost all my music

    all 4,500 files have an exclamation mark along the left hand side saying file cannot be found.
    my music was not on a computer but on a separate hard drive. but somehow itunes reset its preferences to look for all the files in the itunes folder on my computer. i have changed this back to the external drive but it is still not looking there.
    short of going one by one and locating 4,500 files how can i get it to look in the right place?

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible.
    If you start iTunes when the drive is not accessible, iTunes will default back to the internal drive.
    I assume from your comments that you have your iTunes folder containing the iTunes library files in the iTunes folder on your c: drive.
    If this is the case, you should be able to get things working again by setting the location of the iTunes folder to the folder where your music is located on the external drive. This ought to work provided nothing else has changed. iTunes is extremely sensitive to changes in the path to music files.

  • ITunes has lost all my APP purchases and reset my library and playlists.

    Well as above. I dont have any other username accounts. iTunes has had a breakdown and misplaced my entire library which is on my external hard drive, I havent lost the somgs just the location and all the metadata pertaining to it. Its a pain to reinstate it all but the  most worrying part is that all of my APP purchases which I kept stored on iTunes are missing, which is a n awful lot of cash as they are mostly quite expensive music production and photography and film apps. How can I recover my metadata for iTunes and how do I restore all my APP purchases?

    Ok I have trouble shooted the problem myself and found the culprit. For whatever reason iTunes had created a  n entire different library  next to  my usual libray and was referring to that!? I removed it and iTunes and the app purchases are  back to normal. Phew!

  • My iTunes has lost all my apps

    Hi,
    I recently had my iTunes lost all my apps and podcasts. I don't know what happened, but as far as I know I plugged in my iPhone to sync and charge, and after an hour I came back and iTunes had no apps. Of course syncing my iPhone meant all the apps went from my phone. Any idea what could cause this?
    Thanks
    Boz

    OK, I think I didn't make my original post clear. The files are on the PC, they're in my My Music folder (complete path as you describe).
    So yes, I can drag and drop the apps into iTunes, and same with podcasts (although subscriptions are missing). And then do a restore to a backup prior to the mess up. I have done this now, however it means I've lost all app data between the backup and now. Including photos, messages, Apple app data.
    Anyway, I've worked around the problem, what I want to know is, how did this happen? Why did iTunes suddenly lose all my apps and podcast subscriptions?
    Could it happen again?

  • 9.0.3 has lost all my music

    I've just updated to 9.0.3 this week, and since then, all my music that wasn't bought on iTunes has disappeared. I also can't add any music that I've bought since I upgraded to my iPod (4G Nano). Can anybody please help?

    Okay. we'd better start checking on other possibilities.
    By any chance, is your PC a Sony Vaio (or any other type of Sony)?
    What security software do you have installed on the PC? (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware?)
