my songs are gone I've been using LimeWire for awhile now, and have been saving all my songs to the same file, and playing them on iTunes. The other day, an ! appeared in front of 3/4 of the songs I have gotten from iTunes meaning the file is missing. 3/4 of the songs I downloaded from LimeWire are no longer in that file! What's going on?? |
because you moved or deleted them probably. What you need to know about iTunes is here How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes) |
But that's the thing... I never touched the files. And I know no one else has been on my computer. |
Can you still play what's left of your files? I sure hope that your computer hasn't been infected! There's something nasty going around that turns your music files into .exe or .zip files. Good Luck :idea: Dano P.S. Have you tried a search for one of the missing files? |
The files are completely missing. They won't play, and when I go into the file I save all my LimeWire music into, they are not there. I've read posts about the .exe or .zip files infection, and I don't think that's the case here, because I can't even find the files to begin with. |
This probably doesn't matter, but I was asking if the remainder of your songs play (in your first post you state that 3/4 of the songs are gone...what about the remaining 1/4?) Regardless, something is happening on your computer that shouldn't be. I would run some antispyware and antivirus scans with the most updated information you can. Good Luck :xeri_ok1ani: Dano |
Oh, I misunderstood. :p Yes, all the others play fine. |
I scanned my computer for spyware and viruses, and found nothing. |
Please refer to folder when meaning folder. A file is an individual item, be it a document, etc. Where are you saving the music to? Is it an external drive by any chance. I ask because I had problems with having my iTunes library on an external drive. If I opened iTunes whilst the drive was not connected, I would lose music files. I solved it by moving the iTunes program to the external drive. |
I save all my LimeWire tunes into my iTunes music folder so all my music is in one place. No, it is not on an external drive. |
