Music in Library is gone! Need help!
 

Hey, this is Hakeem, does anyone know much about limewire?...This is my situation, I had alot of media downoalded in my Library and all the downloaded files were shared in a "limewire" folder in my "c" drive.

I have'nt use it for a few weeks so when I got on to limewire today i was surprised to see that there was a problem with accessing my library on limewire....apparently it seems all the music in my limewire folder is gone, i looked in my recycle bin and its not there...no idea what could have happenned..does anybody have any ideas as to how to find them or get them back?.Also there is no music on my "my music" folder either...

when i try to access my library on limewire it says i need to "reconfigure" my folder, than it leads me to a page where i add folders to where my downloaded music will go but even when i changed to "my music" theres still nothing there...when i click on the "share" tab where my library should open up it says "you can configure folders u share in limewire options"

so when i click on the tab "configure" it brings me to a small menu where i add or remove folders to put my music in, but there is nothingin my "limewire" folder where my music is supposed to be...wierd huh?......is it possible it just lost everything?..i tried searching my computer for some of the songs i dowloaded recently but nothing is found.


Any Links to sites that can help or suggestions will be greatly apreciated..Thanx everyone

Are you clicking on the little arrow to expand Shared Files (so that any shared folders within will show up)??

Has anybody else been using your LW (maybe the files were deleted by accident)? Had you changed the location for saving from the default?

If the files really are gone, you could try a file recovery program. There's more info here, or use Google to search for more.

Thanx for the help Birdy, and i did try to open up every link adn folder looking like crazy for my music...It was all there a few weeks ago, I didnt move anything but now theres not a trace of it..I downloaded PC insector file recoverer and it came up with thousands of files but none are mp3s...Should I try a different restorer program?

Thanks for ur time :)

Have a look on Google to see if you can find some freeware file recovery programs. The other program (Restoration) mentioned in the link I gave you doesn't look like it's compatible with Vista:(

Use your computer as little as possible before you try to recover the files.

Remember to always back up your files...just in case something like this happens again;)
