Opened...itunes...nothing in library? Was there yesterday...Call perimedics

amber · #1 07-28-2006, 03:57 AM

I know this has happened to others recently. I did a restore, didn't work. The only thing that happened between yesterday and today is: this morning my internet was off, so i paid a big stupid bill today after I got my check to get it turned back on.
I know I have a lot of the files in my computer, but goddam! Mother Goddam! Also, I plugged in my shuffle, and nothing appeared.

I'm not sure if y'all have any thoughts/solutions, I've read everyone else's thread where this happened. But then again, I am a computer retard, relatively, so there could be something, some solution. Shyeah, right.

*sigh*.
I opened Belladonna just now from my files, and am wallowing in the sad sound that fits well, if the lyrics don't.

"Oooohhhh! Iiiituuuuunes! ooo! oooo! My souuuul!"

I hope all the rare **** that I dl'd from everyone all the time is in my files.

"And yes, it matters, to you, kind of itunes that'll haunt you, it matters, to you..."

"I didn't mean to lose it, I cried -
Oh but you shut it dah-hown, every night!
It got eraaased, when you were a lamo!
And yes, it matters, to you.
Kind of itunes that'll haunt you, it matters...(retard) Kind of itunes that'll haunt you..

Promised myself
a long time ago
Oh I would back you up, before you crashed!
Oh if not at least, because I knew I was a retard!
Close
I almost
Didit yesterday -
Kind of itunes that'll haunt you
(to be, a)
Retard
Kind of itunes that'll haunt you..."

Well, well, on the upside, it gave rise to a song parody. And, it's almost the weekend, thus I have ample time to transfer all those songs from my files. I'd sure like to know what caused this before I do all that work, though.

"Step into, the velvet of the suckage
Let yourself throw things around your house
Heartbreak of the moment could've been avoided
Well, it is, just as bad, as it seems.
Oh, I know you'd like to be erased and baybe you can leave
My itunes is my life's blood
Anytime I think about erasage I want to. Killsomeone -
Think about it, befo-ore your itunes goes."

"The timeless face of a rock and roll Amber as her heart breaks..."

hmmm, this is fun. Taking my mind off it and all.

"So I had a little trouble with my itunes!
Now I'm trying to restore those files!
Stop erasing my
Stop erasing my
Stop erasing my itunes BITCH!

S'od to think about backing up your files
Isod to think about what you couldlose
This doesn't have to be the big. no. music
This didn't even have to happen at all!

itunes you could never do what I wa-anted!
yeah you buckle with the weight of my 'puter!
Stop 'rasing my
Stop 'rasing my
Stop 'rasing my God.Damned. Songs! (whoo-oo-hooo,oo oo oo!)"

can't help you with the itunes, but i can wallow in your pit of crap right beside you.

my myspace account is on the fritz. says it was deleted or cancelled. i might vomit if it really was. i didn't violate any of the terms of service. no notification. i'm going to be sick about this for a while...

so i'm back to the myspace-------------login page
back to the mess-age
that i hate
"your account may have been
de-le-ted
all of your codes 've been erased
all your codes
eraaaaaased"

and it all comes down to tom
well you know that it does...

this is just making it worse. sorry, amber. i'll be funnier later AFTER I GET MY ACCOUNT BACK.

My MySpace was cancelled/deleted today too. I was just on it yesterday and now today, gone.

I emailed them for an explanation. WTH!?

I saved all my codes, but if I have to rebuild...what a pain in the a$$.

DrummerDeanna · #4 07-28-2006, 10:29 AM

Mine too

Now - I'm pretty sure it's yet ANOTHER stupid *(#$&*(# MySpace messup.

I'm getting SO frustrated with that damn site. Seriously - it's owned by damn NewsCorp, is worth millions upon millions of dollars and they still can't get the damn thing right! It's REALLY pissing me off.

madformac · #5 07-28-2006, 10:33 AM

Amber, if the tunes are still showing on your itunes library but itunes cannot find the file when you click on it then its a problem.. If itunes library is just blank then you might need to get it to search your pc for songs again. I'm sure you know how to do it but if not..

In itunes just click "file" then "add folder to library" and then select the drive your songs are on.. It should find them all again hopefully and put them back on your library list.

I've rebuilt my page 5 times now in 3 days... "tom" and his myspace people are going to the top of my "tossers" list now..

xxxmx - your Myspace looks fine now from my end.

LOL!

Yeah, thanks for jacking my thread with your goddamned stupid ass myspace woes without even laughing at my parodies.

Where is allthesame when I need him???

And Deanna? At least the others actually mentioned me. You're headed for the ignore list.

F*ck all of you except Madformac, and XXXMX gets a partial reprieve because her parody was funny. The rest of you kiss my ass.

Madformac - I seem to have to select the songs in single folders, or single songs, to add them. That's why I was saying it looks like it's going to be time consuming, I can't add them all at once.

DrummerDeanna · #10 07-28-2006, 02:50 PM

Well I could offer no help to your "pit of crap" as xxxmx...but I will acknowledge that it sucks. I'd pretty much have a heart attack if I opened iTunes only to find it empty.

Best bet is to uninstall itunes and download the latest version from the apple website. It won't delete your music files. this problem is a bit puzzling. Go into your itunes folder. Its usually in your My Music folder. You need to move the itunes library and itunes music library files to a safe destination, say My Documents. Then you have them backed up.

Then make sure those two files are not in the itunes folder after you have uninstalled the program.

Then when you reinstall the program itunes will ask you if you want it to search your computer for music, if you say yes it will scan everything and put it in itunes.

*** The only downside with this is when you plug your ipod in it will wipe it and update it with the new library list. If you don't want the hassle of waiting for your PC to put the updated library on your ipod (I've got 6000 songs on mine and it takes hours) leave the two library files in the itunes folder before you reinstall.

You got it?

Hang on, can you not just highlight My Computer when you select "Add folder to library" ?? that might do it

I just updated my itunes. But I see what you're saying about the rest, the problem is, I guess, that I have quite a bit of music saved in places other than my itunes folder. I also understand about moving them to a safe place if I update.
But do you think I really have to update itunes? There isn't a new one, so should I do it just because...uh...somehow my files got erased and it could be itunes fault? Even though the new one will be exactly the same version?
Thanks.

I was looking for something like that, but didn't spend too much time. Let me know if you find something, and I'll also look this weekend.
So...did you laugh at any of my songs?

You're welcome!

Oh, and I only laugh when something's funny. That's for the "rest of you can kiss my ass" comment.

Sorry I can't help you, I don't even own an mp3 player & I rarely DL tunes. And your parodies are funny - it's been far too long since anyone's done parodies 'round here.

Happy now?
