Hey,

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and I was running Safari and iTunes. My computer froze and was completely unresponsive so I forced it to shut down and restarted. When it started again Safari ran fine but it wasn't until i opened iTunes* an hour later I found all my music had disappeared.

I've looked on forums and tried everything: I updated and restarted, I tried to repair disk permissions, I tried "Import a new playlist" to import the iTunes library and the .xml file but nothing works.

The weird thing is there are a few songs in it and they're the first songs I put on my iTunes like 4 years ago.

All of my music is in a folder iTunes Music but i don't want to have to reimport everything, it will take ages so is there something i haven't tried??????

*When i opened it a message came up that said it had to make a new file or something iTunes Music (damaged)

** Also my computer has the same amount of free space as it did before the crash so i assume nothing has been completely wiped.
