I have recently downloaded iTunes again to my new laptop, and I want to know how I find the library I had on my old laptop? It is with the same iTunes account, plus not all of the songs that were in my library were purchased through iTunes, some were acquired through p2p programmes.
Thanks.
First determine if the media files are still present in the iTunes > Media folder. If they are not you will have to restore them from the backup you of course made of your computer before installing new software, or from their original sources. If they are still there then try one of the following methods to rebuild the database which tells iTunes what media you have in your collection and where it is.
