HELP! My Library keeps resetting itself
Hello all
Since yesterday my iTunes library has reset itself, twice! I am on a HP Pavilion DV7 running Windows 8 with iTunes 11.0.2. It has been a while since I updated the software and have done absolutely nothing to my music folders or iTunes. It was working fine then when I fired it up yesterday morning everything was gone. I have tried reloading the library but the only library file is the blank library.
All my music is still on my computer it's just not in complied into a library anymore. And for some reson the only playlists i have in my iTunes folder are ones from several months ago that have since been deleted, updated, renamed (within iTunes itself), etc. I have 5000+ songs and I really don't want to try to repopulate my library again until I can get this problem solved. Here is a list of the files that are currently in my iTunes folder.
- iTunes Library (1) - 9/1/2011 - iTunes Database File
- iTunes Library Extras (1) - 8/17/2010 - iTunes Database File
- iTunes Library Extras - 9/3/2011 - iTunes Database File
- iTunes Library Genius (1) - 8/17/2010 - iTunes Database File
- iTunes Library Genius - 9/3/2011 - iTunes Database File
- iTunes Library - 3/26/2013 - iTunes Database File (This is the current library file that is blank)
- iT 1.tmp - 7/24/2011
- iT 2.tmp - 3/24/2013
- iT 3.tmp - 3/26/2013
- iT.tmp - 7/23/2011
- Temp File.tmp - 2/20/2013
- iTunes Music Library - 3/26/2013 - XML Document
Out of all those files what can i delete? I feel like half of those aren't needed.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thank you for any help you can provide
