I love music, and my iTunes library contains all of my favorite tracks. I want to make sure you have access to yours, and am understanding that you're not seeing your library after you updated iTunes. Luckily, I've got some steps that will help with that!
The article linked below directly addresses your missing library content.
If you don‘t see your content after you update iTunes
The instructions to get your music back are as follows:
Before following the steps below, make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.
- Quit iTunes.
- Go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Go > Home. Open the Music folder, then open the iTunes folder.
Windows: Navigate to \Users\username\Music\iTunes\. - Drag the iTunes Library.itl file to your Desktop.
- In the iTunes folder, open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
- Find the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you updated iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
- Copy this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
- Rename the copied file iTunes Library.
- Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
Happy listening!
