Accidently moved all my music from itunes to trash, how to restore?

[mpc91]

hi there

I accidentally choose the option to delete media folder like an idiot when i emptied my iTunes library.

is there a way to restore my items back to the original folder as they were before?

as i know i can copy and paste however all the names are messed up and they are out of their folders

thank you

Try entering Time Machine and restoring the folder from there (even if you don't have a backup disk configured since TM also makes local copies)

Is it still in the trash?
OPen the trash, right click the item(s) and select "Put Back"

You should be able to put these items back in the Media Folder. Metatag information should not have changed.

Cmd(command) A, two finger click over the highland files. Choose 3rd option down - Put back.

Ah in that case. Try Cmd A all of them and then drag them into the open iTunes program? Hold them there till it shows they’ll go in. Should be a second or two hold.

Or if that doesn’t work find your iTunes program folder in finder and drag them to there and then go into iTunes and scan for/add new music. Saying that can’t you add new music from iTunes and select the bin?

...but I’m surprised you don’t have a put back option.
Maybe someone else can help further.
