iTunes reset - happened to you?

Alan Baxter · 09-20-2009, 02:01 AM

I don't know if this is related to my new iPhone or not.

I've had iTunes for ages (years) and had no problems. I had a whole bunch of playlists, etc. I recently got an iPhone and started using that with iTunes no problem.

Today I plugged in the iPhone and instead of opening iTunes it brought up a dialog box asking me about which library to use. I said I'd select one, wondering what it meant. Now it's opened iTunes (although it says iTunes 1 at the top now) and all my playlists, downloaded iPhone apps, etc. are gone. It's not showing a library either. I can rebuild this one and get the apps again, but that's a real pain.

Anyone have any idea what happened or how to fix it?

How did that happen? that's weird. What version of iTunes are you using? been using itunes for ages too and experienced no problems yet. i'm on itunes 9 and it's definitely better than all the others.

Yep, I'm using iTunes 9.

Turns out it just created a new iTunes folder and didn't recognise the old one. I've set up all my playlists and apps in the new folder and all appears to be okay. Lost all my history and stuff, but I don't really mind that.

Very weird.
