Q: Help! Lost iTunes files since Music subscription service update
Help! Lost iTunes files since Music subscription service came in an iTunes update. Running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on an older mac mini. Always upgrade iTunes; about when the Music subscription service began is the last time much of my digital music collection, going back to 2002, could be found. I only discovered the loss recently (have been busy the last year).
- Now I can only find about 10% of my extensive digital music collection.
- No support pages have helped.
- No spotlight searches have helped.
- No Time Machine back-ups contain those files.
- No other file types have been affected -- only my digital music archives managed by iTunes
- No forensic recovery scans by TechTools has uncovered masses of .m4a or .aac files (think I found 8 old podcasts).
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 2005 model
