Re:trash ate my itunes - 2009/09/24 07:20Are you sure the folder did not move the the other drive? Check that first, if it is on the other drive, go into iTunes preferences and change the “iTunes Media folder location”. You may still have to “find” your individual files, there are articles on this subject, but it has been years!

Re:trash ate my itunes - 2009/09/25 02:44Have you emptied Trash. Using Spotlight may help to locate the songs.

Re:trash ate my itunes - 2009/09/26 22:57You were fortunate and as you say, "You live and learn." What puzzles me is that I run an external as the main drive and never had a problem saving data. Also an USB Thumb Drive is used as a backup. A set of accounts is kept. Do you have iTunes installed on the external?
