Upgrade 6.0.4 : Lost all my songs !

Hi,
I've upgraded to 6.0.4 lately. The first time I've opened iTunes, it said something about corupted file and I don't have any songs in my library anymore. Though when I go to /music/itunes I can see my music folder and itunes library and itunes library damaged file. What can I do to fix it ?
Thank you.
Mac mini 1.25 512 RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

You can go to iTunes menu>file>add to library. Prior to doing that make sure that prefs>copy files to iTunes library... is turned off otherwise iTunes will copy the original file so you will now have to files and less hd space. All your previous history will be lost.

  • I just got a new Macbook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and lost all my songs on my iPod.  How do I get them back?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased.  I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod.  I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it).  During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync.  I just kept deleting and adding mine.  Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod.  Please help.

    Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
    Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
    If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
    In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
    Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
    Connect the iPod to the Mac
    Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
    Set it to Manually Manage Music
    Sync your selected songs in your library.
    Whern sync complete, Eject it
    Connect it to your Windows PC.
    Select the song in the library
    Sync it.
    It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
    Good luck!

  • I updates my iPod before syncing it and lost all my song how can I see what song i lost?

    I updated my iPod before syncing it and lost all my songs how can I see what songs I lost?

    From your backup that is in iTunes or in iCloud or resync them from your computer.

  • Help, lost all the songs on my iPod when checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window.

    Help, I lost all the songs on my iPod when I deleted a few songs from my iTunes Library, checked the box titled "Replace all items when Autofilling" in my Autofill Settings window, and then tried to Autofill. Note that I do not purchase songs from iTunes, but rather I rip songs off my own cd's and then transfer the mp3 files to iTunes.  And after I transfer mp3 files from my pc to iTunes and then Autofill, I generally delete those files from my pc.
    I can still see the songs in my iTunes Library, but not on my iPod.  Is there a way that I can salvage them and get them back on my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well you will have to wait to connect you ipod to the orignal computer and it will put all your songs back on to it.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • I lost all my songs with iTunes mach after changing store

    hi,
    i have two itunes accounts, one on the french store, my first one, and another on the US one.
    i subscribed to itunes match with the french account, and when i went on the us one, i lost all my songs for three months!
    i need my two accounts, i live between nyc and paris.
    *** happens and how can it be fixed.
    thanks
    Trikar

    That's what happens when you switch stores.  You need to stay with one account (at one store) otherwise you lose files that were synced with the other store.

    How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
    If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
    If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
    If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?

  • HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

    I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
    You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
    I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
    then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.

  • I wiped my computer and iTunes did not remember songs ect when reinstalled it and have I lost all my songs. Doesn't the Apple ID sign in keep all your details??

    I wiped my computer and when I reinstalled iTunes, none of my songs ect were listed. Have I lost all my songs for good and need to redownload and copy my CDs???
    Why doesn't the Apple ID remember everything for when you change computers or do a wipe? So frustrated and unhappy now.

    Songs you upload into iTunes via MP3 file or CD are stored locally.   You would need to do those again if you wiped your hard drive (assuming you didn't have a backup of your iTunes library)
    Songs you download through iTunes are downloadable again with your ID at no additional charge.

    i've setup a new account on my PC and its lost all my songs apart form 14 of them and i can only see my apps that were already on my iphone and ipad and also i cant download my songs/apps that i already own.

    You have to download the iPhone version of the app - if there are two different versions and if you do not want to pay for the iPad version.
    Look in the App Store for the iPhone version and then try to download that one,

  • After upgrading my iPhone, I lost all my contacts..... and they were replaced with my wife's contacts even though she upgraded after I did. I did a time machine backup before I started the upgrade process, how do I get that saved data back to my phone?

    Hi bluegrandpanash,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

  • Move account onto another computer...lost all my songs :(

    Hello,
    I am very new to computers and my ipod nano. I went to set it up at my home computer and I lost all the songs that were already on my ipod. How do you get them back?
    Appricate any help!
    ~thanks!

    Hopefully the songs are still on your computer somewhere.
    You can go to the XP Start menu > Search function and have a look. Enter the appropriate extension for the files (*.mp3, *.m4a, *.m4p are the most likely) and see what comes up.
    Here are some other tips on finding lost files:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301749
    If they're not on your computer but are still on your nano, have a look at MacMuse's post on recovering music from an iPod. Read it over slowly and carefully before proceeding. Post back if anything's not clear.
    A very important lesson to be learned from this incident is that from now on you should always make sure you have a back-up copy of your music (or any other information stored on your computer that you consider to be valuable). Otherwise sometime, somehow, somewhere when you least expect it, you'll end up losing it.
    I hope that's not the case this time but remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!
