About five days ago I transferred a few albums from my Macbook to my iMac via a firewire cable, using the Macbook as an external hard disk. From the folder in my Macbook, I drag and dropped the albums into iTunes on my iMac and they copied. My external hard disk which I use to store all my music (not my Macbook!) should have copied them into there, as usual.
When I came back to it later that evening I found that iTunes could not find ANY of my music files I had originally on there, it had deleted them for no apparent reason and they were gone. Disappeared! All that was left in my external hard drive was the files I had copied from my Macbook earlier.
I'm absolutely devastated as it's taken me three years to collect all this music, from friends and other colleagues. I had over 140Gb of music and 2050 albums at least. This collection was my life (slight exaggeration!).
Is it too late for me to find them? Can anybody shed some light into how or why my computer deleted the rest of the files? They are not in my trash can or anywhere else on my hard disk, I've used the search function and downloaded Disk Inventory X to see if I can located the files...
Need help guys, if anybody can share some knowledge I'd be very thankful.
Regards, Johnny.
