iTunes LIbrary Problems

Hi all--

I have iTunes 10.6.3. (I did have a prior version, but upgraded in the hopes it would fix the issue I'm posting about.)

I got some error messages about my library yesterday. I don't remember exactly what they said, but when I next opened iTunes, my playlists and a lot of my songs were gone.

I tried this but it didn't fix the problem. It did replace the playlist menu, but none of my actual playlists are stored there.

I do have all my music backed up via BackBlaze if all else fails.

I have a MacBook Pro and I'm running 10.6.8.

Thanks!

I checked my hard drive and the music files are all still there.

Would it work if I deleted the iTunes app and the .xml and then redownloaded iTunes so it would have to rebuild my library based on the actual files?

Your playlists are probably gone unless someone can suggest a way to recover them. As far as rebuilding the library, since you have your media folders, all you have to do s drag and drop them on the iTunes Iconand they will automatically be added.

Thanks! I didn't want to drag and drop them all 'cause I didn't want all the dupes, so I just emptied my library while leaving the media files intact and am currently adding them all back to the library.
