Hey, Thanks for your reply. My iTunes file is about 105GB in size and after the upgrade, when I check the size of the file on my computer it is still showing 105GB so I am guessing the files haven't necessarily been deleted. Its just when I open iTunes, all that show are the 100 or so albums or singles I have purchased on itunes with the cloud symbol on them but none of the other 900 or so albums I have loaded onto iTunes myself from cd's are there anymore !
I tried that suggestion of going into iTunes and going into previous iTunes libraries and taking the file from there which would have been the backup of my iTunes before I installed the update and replacing the new itl file with it. It had been suggested that when I re open iTunes after doing that , that I would have my old library back again but it didn't work for me. Before doing that file change over I had gone into iTunes preferences and un ticked the box that was called- apple music which i assumed was the source of the problem because I was told that if I didn't turn off icloud music library that the problem would persist. Is the apple music option, I cloud music ? I want to make sure icloud music is turned off and also for your reference, I don't have iTunes match so that isn't the problem. Could you help me with any other suggestion of what to do ? I want to basically get rid of all the icloud albums that are now sitting visible in my iTunes library and somehow find the entire rest of my library including the actual physical downloaded copies of the icloud albums now showing. In the old iTunes I had the option for showing albums in the cloud un ticked but in this horrible new iTunes update there is no option that I can see to not show icloud albums
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
