Re: i†une Library Disappeared

[cm]

Hi Paul,

OK. Just in Finder have a quick look in your home directory at the following 
location. Let's say your home directory is "paul". Navigate to

paul/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music

and see if it is populated with directories that have the name of groups and 
artists.

As an important aside, do you have a backup of any sort in place?

Cheers,
Carlo

Hi Carlo, thanks for your prompt & kind attention.
I mean the ENTIRE iTune Library all wiped away. I had not used the
external drive yet.

Hi Paul,

When you say your favourite tunes have disappeared do you mean your entire 
iTunes library or only those in a favourites playlist of some sort? Also was 
your iTunes library on the 1Tb external drive?
