Itunes problem please help quick??

Question

my itunes has reset itself and ive lost all my music as it cannot be found in any folders etc. I was wondering if theres a quick simple way just to plug my ipod in and somehow transfer my music back to itunes. Preferably an easy way as im not best with computers lol x

Answer 1

DO NOT OPEN ITUNES WHEN YOU DO THIS!

FIRST PLUG YOUR IPOD INTO YOUR COMPUTER.

YOU SHOULD SEE A USB DEVICE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN.

THEN YOU HAVE TO GO START,THEN CLICK MY COMPUTER, CLICK ON (G:) IF YOU SEE YOUR IPOD EVICE THEN YOU OPEN ITUNES AND NO MATTER WHAT IT SAY CLICK ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY AND CLICK THE FOLDER THAT YUOR IPOD IS PLUGGED INTO IT.

THAT SHOULD GET YOU YOUR MUSIC BACK

Answer 2

DONT just plug in the ipod as you wont be able to transfer over the music - the ipod will be wiped to replicate what is in itunes i.e nothing!!!

Have you searched in all media players??  It seems strange that itunes would reset and therefore delete all music.  Try the search facility on your computer and look for an artist you know you definitely had, may also be worth looking on the itunes help page?

Answer 3

does itunes still have a list of your music and it just cant find them or is there no info there at all?? anyway click start, click search, click pics-music-vid, select music, then search,, wait 10 mins, files should now be in that window, right click on one of your music files and select show in explorer, this will now open a new window showing where your music is installed, you may need to find the parent directory for the music then dragging the one file that contains all your music back in to your itunes player and ur done. If your answer to my first point is yes then i would delete all the broken tracks from itunes before you drag them back in or youll have 2 copies of every song with only 1 that works
