i†une Library Disappeared
Dear WAMUG, I used to be around before in the 1990s thought I have learnt sufficiently enough to be on my own. That would be furthest from the truth. One can never claim to know it all to stand alone. There are always that require more heads. So here I am. Knowledge sharing is a two-way traffic I hope to be able to contribute as well. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 with an external drive of 1,000GB. I had a whole library of iTune songs music built collected over a period of years. My problem started when I installed the new iLife 2011 because the capacity of my iPhoto was running low. Without warning all my favourites tunes in the iTune disappeared. I searched everywhere without any avail. What could have happened? Anyone please help advise.

Re: i†une Library Disappeared
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?

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.

Re: i†une Library Disappeared
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 On 18/03/2012, at 15:28 , Paul Chong wrote: Hi Carlo, thanks for your prompt kind attention.
