Hi javaliga and Hedgehog also 😀
Java, thank you for the links. I saved the book that turingtest2 wrote, but I couldn't find it again. So, the biggest problem I have with iTunes is once I get to the tunes part, I can't get it to open my account and the store. What I did was I started deleting songs from a duplicate playlist one at a time. You know remove from playlist. But I wanted to get rid of that list completely and saw the remove from library, and they were all gone. So I checked my iPhone, and they were gone there also. I was hoping to download everything from my phone back into my PC, but apparently something is wrong with my phone or the power cables, because iTunes couldn't find it.
But, after I wrote this question, I saw something about doing the hard boot on the phone. I did that and all my songs were back, along with some I didn't have!😁 So, I have everything on my phone now, and I'm not so worried about losing them.
However, I am so computer illiterate, I never paid much attention to where things were being downloaded to. So I have iTunes files all over the place. But now, since my phone has all the songs and a couple or three albums, I am not so afraid of removing everything and reloading it. My computer is quite old, and my husband did all the updates, new software, etc. He passed away three years ago, and I am learning as I go. Still, even being the dufus I am, I've figured out a lot. But not the new iTunes. It just seems to lose the part of its program that tells it to open the store or my account. I have had to do the complete removal of all things Apple, then reinstall at least twice.
I really appreciate both of you offering help. I will find that how to book turingtest2 wrote, and save it in my computer so I won't lose it again! I have it bookmarked somewhere. My computer likes to duplicate everything, so I have a real mess with my bookmarks. 😕
Again, thank you both!
