MY ITUNES HAS DELETED OVER 25 GB OF MY MUSIC. GONE. WHAT THE FUCK?
Anyone have any idea on how to get it back? They were all my own cd's. Yesterday all I did was add another cd and hooked up the new printer. Nothing
else. FOR SOME FUCKING REASON MY MUSIC IS ALMOST GONE. I have only like 6 gb left.CR83 - 11-16-2007 at 11:44 AM
I am just learning iTunes. Everything in my library was at least duplicated. I am not a big fan of this program. I'm a total Windows Media Player
fan.
The only thing I can think of is, did you check your recycle bin?
Oh shit, what about going back to a restore point? Let me know if you need help with that. Assuming you are using a PC.DAK - 11-16-2007 at 12:09 PM
I had mine go crazy on time when i received an update. All my music is on my computers hard drive, so I just re-synced it with my ipod. It took about
8 hours to put everything back on the ipod. About 60 GB worth. I still not sure what caused it how to prevent it from happening again.Jason the Magnificent - 11-16-2007 at 01:55 PM
CR83, once you get used to iTunes you'll like it a lot more than windows media. It's SO much easier to organize/edit/update song wise, especially with
the tagging if you DL a lot of stuff.
I've never has anything delete like that Clevo, hopefully you had it backed up. I have all my files backed up in that iTunes library thing AND have
the entire library and its playlist info backed up to an external. The most I'll ever lose outaside of some catatrophe is a couple gigs of recent non
backed up albums.BDx13 - 11-16-2007 at 02:01 PM
are you sure they've been deleted? itunes doesn't delete anything without asking you first.
it's very possible that itunes can't FIND your audio files, in which case, you just haveto go in to you preferences and tell it where they all live on
your computer.clevohardcore - 11-16-2007 at 03:50 PM
I have no idea if it was something I did or whatever. All I know is its gone without me knowing until I found out.clevohardcore - 11-16-2007 at 03:52 PM
IS there a way to SYSTEM RESTORE just itunes? If not I would restore it to I guess 2 days ago if needed.
Any info on doing either is appreciated.BDx13 - 11-16-2007 at 03:52 PM
my point is, are you sure its gone.
just because itunes says it can't play a song or it can't find an audio file doesn't mean it's gone.
look through your C drive.
use the search tool to look for band names.clevohardcore - 11-16-2007 at 03:53 PM

There is no list of the bands at all. No info. Nothing in itunes. Its empty like it never existed. I will look in C drive right now.CR83 - 11-16-2007 at 03:58 PM
Clevo- you can't just restore iTunes. You need to do the whole PC.
Run a search on your PC. Start- Search- Now type in a band name or album. It will give you results and then click on the icon at the top of that
search window just to the right of the folders icon. Select "details". FOllow that to where you music lives.
I have XP so it may be different in Vistaclevohardcore - 11-16-2007 at 04:03 PM
Ok so I found my file folder of itnues and it seems to have all the music originally. What can I do with this to make it go back into intunes?clevohardcore - 11-16-2007 at 04:05 PM
I types SICK OF IT ALL and found all the music.
C owner/user/itunes/itunesmusic
Found some after doing this search.What next?clevohardcore - 11-16-2007 at 04:08 PM
I found out where the total music is. What do I do to make it go back to ITUNES?clevohardcore - 11-16-2007 at 04:10 PM
Do I click ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY? If so should I delete what is in there now CLEAN SLATE so its not duplicated?
^^^^^^ Thats what I jsut did. MAn I hope this works. I deleted the rest and right now I am adding the file back into the library. Its speeding
throught the songs as I type.
Speaking of type did you know there is a type of meat called "trype" saw it written on the back of a meat truck a while back.Jason the Magnificent - 11-16-2007 at 04:24 PM

Thanks for all the help yet again.
I got it restored.
I found the folder like you all said to in C drive and then deleted the rest from itunes. Then added the entire file back into itunes. The artwork is
now being loaded.
