Well my itunes music somehow just disapeared. I opened up my itunes and got a message stating that itunes was damaged. I have no idea how this happened and i was wondering if i could do a system restore.

Can someone either tell me how to fix the itunes and get all my music back and/or tell me how to do a systems restore to move my computor back before itunes was damaged.

Thank you

Your music will probably be fine and still there - it'll be the itunes database file that remembers where all the music is that is broken. Best thing to do is delete the file and reimport all of your music - you'll lose your playlists and song ratings.

Me too.

Exact same thing happened to me week before last. No problem, Just re-loaded from my music Folder, but I did lose all my playlists(except for top 25 most played, for some reason) and ratings. Only thing is that everything is in the date added column under the same date.
First software problem I've had in 2 and a half years, so i shouldn't moan too much, I guess.
