.Media Preferences.plist appears on desktop

Hello Lisa Vogt,

We'd be happy to help. A .plist is a preference file for an application. With the Music app open, click Music > Settings > Files, does the iTunes Music Media location point to the iTunes Media folder? If not, that may be the cause of the issue. If it points to your desktop, change it to the correct folder and restart your computer.

Thanks.

Thanks for replying back that the file has returned, Lisa Vogt.

Because it has returned to your desktop, the next best step would be to reach out to Apple Support directly. They can walk through additional troubleshooting steps to determine why this file keeps returning. You can reach them here: Get Support

You can also find the support phone number for your region at this link: Contact Apple for support and service

Best regards.
