Yesterday I opened up iTunes, and approximately 1,000 or so of my songs were gone. I checked the "iTunes Media" folder on my computer and those 1,000 songs have also vanished from there too. For no reason. PLEASE HELP!!!

What I have noticed is that all of the songs left in my Itunes Library were download a year+ ago, so I was thinking that somehow I restored iTunes to a previous date or something like that. I have no idea honestly. Anybody with useful information, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

You haven't stated wether you have looked in your music folder on your hard drive. Do you normally store your music in the My Music folder in My Documents?
The thing is, if your tracks were deleted from your hard drive, then iTunes would STILL have them listed in it's library, although there would be an exclamation mark next to them. With the iTunes library empty, it just sounds like it has emptied that for some reason, rather than the files actually being deleted from your hard drive.
Find where you keep your tracks on your hard drive and make sure they are still there. Then in iTunes, go into 'File', and 'Add to folder library', selecting the folder where your tracks are kept.

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • Help please... Transferring a separate iTunes Media Folder to new computer.

    I keep my iTunes folder on my C drive on my old laptop but my iTunes Media folder is on my D drive (separate physical drive).
    I have purchased a new laptop with a single drive, (C drive) however, I can no longer access my old laptop's C drive to transfer the entire iTunes folder onto the new laptop. I do however have access to everything in my iTunes media folder that previously resided on my old laptop's D drive.
    I thought I could just download the latest version of iTunes and copy my iTunes media folder that I had on the D drive over. I have done that but the only media that shows up in iTunes is what I've actually purchased from iTunes. Even that it wants me to download from the cloud. All the songs that I've ripped from my CD's are missing even though they are actually in my new iTunes media folder. All my playlists are also missing.
    I do have a 6 month old backup of my iTunes folder on a backup drive but I've downloaded and ripped music since then.
    What do I need to do to transfer all my media, playlists and genera tags to my new laptop?
    Do I actually need to transfer my entire iTunes folder to the new computer or is there a way I can only transfer my iTunes media folder and get everything back?
    As much as I like iTunes, I really wish there was a easy foolproof way to transfer all your media...
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Restore the 6 month old backup of the iTunes folder into the current User's Music folder.
    Make sure the D: drive has the media folder on the same path it was on previously.
    Check the library works, make sure the correct media folder is selected.
    Add the media folder to the library to add in any new content.

  • Trouble starting up for various reasons, please help!!

    Hello, I have a macbook pro, and am having some really strange trouble with it.
    First, it was telling me my password was incorrect, which it absolutely was not. THe only way I can be so sure of this is because I was reformatting my iPod, and in doing so, it asked me to enter my password to grant permission for the reformatting, which I did, and it worked fine. shortly after wiping the iPod, my computer died. I came back to it, and booted it up to the login screen - at this point in time, it was refusing to accept my password as correct. I tried caps lock, no caps, tried to let it die, restart, etc. etc.
    Eventually I was led here, where I found a series of posts with the same problem, and one suggested to type in a script through terminal before the computer was fully booted. It was basically a script to access the password keychain, and update it from there. I put in the script, and restarted my computer. However, this time, instead of going to a login screen like it normally does, it went to a language selection screen, similar to the one you see when you first install the OS. So it prompted me "please select what language you would like to use this software." I clicked English, the dialog box went away for a moment, just to pop up again, and this is where i'm at now. Over and over it will continually just revery back to this screen, not allowing me to do anything.
    So this is where I need your help. My CD drive doesn't work, or else I would have just booted from my disk. If there's anyway I can avoid formatting my computer, that would obviously be the more desirable route. To make things perhaps more complicated, i'm not entirely sure which exact operating system I am running, which i'm sure doesn't help. Although I believe it's Snow Leopard.
    PLEASE HELP!!

    you do not want to install the operating system at this point anyway. i hope that this is the 10.3 (panther) install disk you are booted too. very bad if it isn't. go up to the installer menu and select "open disk utility". then see if the macintosh hd is visible there. if so, select it, and then "first aid", and then "repair disk". if it is not visible, reset the pmu http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449 (your model should be listed there for instructions) and try disk repair again. let us know how it is going.

  • Macbook help - power keeps cutting out for no reason - please help

    my macbook will sometimes just randomly turn off even though i have full power or enough power to run.
    if i try to turn it back on it will just go off again unless i let it 'rest' for a bit, maybe five minutes.
    then it will just work again and i'll eventually enounter this problem again from an hour to two days later
    at the moment it's annoying as the worst that has happened is my work not being saved (word recovers the document anyway) and this happening multiple times when i was trying to import a cd.
    although just annoying, i fear it could lead to something worst.
    please help

    Since you are having random shutdowns, and you mention that you have to wait awhile to turn it back on, I suspect that the computer is overheating and shutting itself off. The computer is then waiting until it cools down enough to allow you to turn it back on.
    This was a fairly common issue when the macbooks were first released. Apple released a firmware update that resolves this. The firmware update improves the computers internal monitoring system so that the fans kick on earlier and prevent your computer from getting to the point where it shuts down due to thermal issues.
    As previous posters have already suggested, go to the apple icon in the upper left hand corner of your screen and select "software update." Install any firmware updates that appear. Please note that the firmware update may not appear in this list of updates if your operating system is not 10.4.6 or higher.

  • How can I call RFC FM from webdynpro application for ABAP? Please help!

    Hi Experts,
              I have a requirement where I have to make a call to RFC enabled function module passing some data from webdynpro for ABAP application. How can I achieve this? Any tutorial or links or docs will be very helpfull.
    I have seen some tutorial on Adaptive RFC but it talks about webdynpro for Java.
    Can I use "Call function XYZ destination A10" statement in webdynpro for ABAP application?
    Thanks
    Gopal

    am doing same thing for my current SRM implementation.I am taking data to SRM server from another R/3 server .
    This is solution I have used
    1) First of all I have made ABAP connection in SM59 .
    Go to SM59 .In ABAP Connection creat ABAP connection with system with which u want communicate .
    Eg I am connection with Systems PB1.
    So i developed Connection call PB1CLNT800.
    2) In my requirement I have taken data in my context from another r/3,
    I have give called RFC in my supply function of node.
    Call to RFC is as usual.
    In my case,
    CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_MATNR'
    DESTINATION 'PB1CLNT800'
    TABLES
    IT_MATNR = IT_MATNR.
    Onwards I have read my itab IT_MATNR and populated data to context.
    Hope solution will serve your purpose.
    Give point if it works .If any problem i have other ways.
    Cheers

  • I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

    September 26, 2011
    Dear Mozilla,
    I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Randy Brown

  • Regarding Sending unit in for a service, PLEASE HELP!

    Hello All,
    I just joined this forum, and I need help, if anyone can help I appreciate it greatly. Here's the deal, I just found a neat 20 GB iPod on eBay. Now, I've talked to the seller and I've read his description clearly. He says that he won the unit at the local university I attend through a competition. He has had it for a month, and there seems to be a problem. The unit will not turn on or off sometimes, and he has talked to Apple already. They said that he needs to send the unit in for a repair. He already owns an iPod nano, and doesnt feel like going throught the whole process of getting the iPod fixed, so he's selling it a fair price. Now, my question is, if I buy this unit, will I be able to send it in for repair? I'm meeting the person and i'll find out whether it was misused on purpose. If not, will I be able to send it in for a fix? I got the serial from the seller and checked on-line whether it was still under warrenty, and it is. I have 215 days left of Warranty. So, anyone please help? Sorry for the lengthy explanation

    The warranty follows the iPod, not the user. If you buy it, sned it in for repair. See if you can get a copy of the original receipt.

  • I moved songs within my iTunes media folder and now my iPod can't find them

    Hello.  I have a few albums in my iTunes library that organize the artists by such folders as Artist feat. So-and-So.  This makes it difficult to scroll through artists on my iPod and in my car.  So I moved those songs that are in those folders to their corresponding album folder under the original artists' names.  Now when I try to sync my iPod it tells me that those songs cannot be found.  I completely restored my iPod and tried again after unchecking the following, but it still couldn't find the songs.
    Convert higher bit rate songs to X kbps AAC
    Keep iTunes Media folder organized
    Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library
    Luckily I do still have the original CDs and can delete the albums then restore them, but I find this particular feature to be pretty ridiculous.
    Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance!

    The Macintosh has something called "file aliases" which allow you to move files from their original locations and applications that reference those files will still know how to find them. Windows does not have anything like that. It works off of full path / file names. So, when you moved your music folder and all your music in Windows Explorer, iTunes is still pointing to the old location.
    Here is the knowledge base article with the information on how to move your iTunes Music Library without these issues, <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305451>

  • Content in iTunes Media folder is not loaded on new Computer

    1. Yesterday I moved my iTunes Media folder from Computer A to a external HD. Used the instructions found here and everything works/worked great. I removed my old iTunes Media folder and verified that Computer A was indeed super happy and e.g. found and played music just fine.
    2. Today I setup a Computer B, since Computer A is being retired. On Computer B I went to Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced and changed the iTunes Media folder location to be the folder on the external HD from step 1 and checked 'Keep iTunes Media folder organized'. I deauthorized iTunes on Computer B.
    I was hoping that these steps would automagically make the contents in the folder appear in iTunes on Computer B, but no such luck.
    I am hoping I am missing some easy step.

    Make sure that the structure of the iTunes library on your external drive looks like this:
    Ideally, the iTunes folder should be in the root of the external drive - however, the key factors are that:
    the iTunes folder includes the iTunes database - the iTunes Library.itl file that you should have copied from computer A.
    the iTunes Media folder is contained within this iTunes folder
    all your music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. are contained within the iTunes Media folder.
    See turingtest2's user tip on Make a split library portable for more information, and details of steps you may need to take to bring your library into this layout.
    Assuming your external drive conforms to these principles, connect it to computer B, hold down the SHIFT key while you start iTunes; when you see this prompt:
    click on Choose Library... then navigate to the iTunes folder on your external drive, select the iTunes Library.itl file, and click Open.
