I have no clue what happened. I just clicked on iTunes this morning and everything was blank! There were no movies, no music, no playlists, none of the cd's that I transferred over... and when I plugged in my iPod, it told me that it wasn't synced and asked if I wanted to delete everything on my ipod and sync it to my iTunes. I clicked cancel, so the music on my iPod's still there and everything.
I guess, ideally, I can just "add folder" to get my songs back onto iTunes, but there are about a gagillion cd's that I had transferred and are suddenly gone. The downloaded music files are all still there and everything, but going through and re-loading everything's going to be a bitch. Is there any way to get my music back without going through and reloading stuff from scratch? |

Are you sure you didnt move around any of your music? Like move folders around or anything? That could have done it.

^ Actually if you move things around, it'll still show up in your playlist although it'll have this red exclamation point next to the song.
Anyways, this happened to me a while back. Try reinstalling itunes, that may help. |

In itunes, click on file, and then click on import.
Go to your itunes folder, and there should be a file called 'iTunes library'. Double click and see if it brings back your song list. |

Even if it for some reason deleted your itunes library, just click add folder and find where your music is. It shouldn't take but a minute to put it all back into your library, at least that's how it is for me every time i reformat. The only painful part is when it wants to determine the gapless playback. Even then you can still play the music, it just moves around slowly in iTunes.
Also if you haven't already, you might want to go and add all your songs into My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music and tell iTunes to auto sort your music and that way it will label everything in there and make it really easy to mess with. |

Meh.
I didn't feel like re-importing all my cd's. And... I found out a way to override the whole iTunes thing. Thanks anyways, guys. |

Oh I didn't mean reimporting all your CD's again. I was assuming that all the music files were saved under say My Music / iTunes / iTunes Music or something
