Today my battery died and my PowerBook G4 shut down. I'm running OS 10.4.11 and the latest iTunes, if that helps. When everything rebooted I opened iTunes, and frustrated with whatever dialogue box popped up, (something with a long progress bar running through my whole library) I canceled out of it, and a second one. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what these boxes said.
Here's the problem: half of my iTunes library is missing, and all of my playlists are gone. Also the iTunes library pane seems to have reset itself to the defaults.
I checked the iTunes music folder and all of my music is still there. I can re-add it, I suppose. But I don't know where any of my playlists are, if there's someplace they're saved.
I'm confused as to what's happened. I want to know if there's some way to reset my iTunes to how it was before this happened. Maybe there's some way to trigger iTunes reprocessing whatever I was too impatient to wait for the first time.
Thanks for any help.
