iTunes advice?

Apr 03, 2013 12:57

Twice now in two weeks, iTunes has forgotten I have music or playlists.  I have no clue why, since I haven't updated, plugged in my iPod, or anything else.  Anyone got any idea what the frell might be going on?  My Google-fu is failing me on this one.  No, restoring to a previous version of iTunes isn't fixing it.  Yes, I'll export my playlists to the desktop if I have to recreate them, but meanwhile, this is getting really frustrating.

ETA:  Okay.  Something is logging me out of iTunes; once I sign in, it finds my music again -- if it was downloaded from iTunes.  The playlists seem to have gone the way of the dodo.  So has the library on my computer in the iTunes folder.  I can add it again -- one file at a time.  17 Gb of music?  Don't think so.  I have words for this, but they're not suitable for print.

ETFA:  I now have iTunes 10.7 re-installed after much cursing and several tutorials. I have lost all playlists and will have to redo them.  ::sighs:: Oh, well.  I'm batting, um, .667?  I got it reinstalled properly (which took a five minute video) and I have my library fully loaded again. But no playlists.  Things like this lead to rage-quit.  I'm just saying.

Help?  Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and/or moral support!
