Itunes updated on a laptop i rarely use. Now that it has, I'm missing hundreds of songs from CD's I've owned. What happened?

Hi Spivey1,

I understand you updated iTunes on your Windows laptop and now seem to be missing some music that you imported from CDs. The update of the software should not affect the data in your iTunes Library. Is it possible that the path to the library has changed? If you search for specific song titles, do you find them on your internal drive? The resource below provides some information for finding your iTunes media and organizing your library:

Manage and back up your iTunes media library


Spivey1, if these steps do not resolve your issue, then you may have to restore your data from a backup.

Back upand restore your PC



Take care.
