Solve : Lost iTunes Music?

1.	Solve : Lost iTunes Music?
Answer» I recently purchased a NEW Sony Vaio laptop. I successfully transferred over 2500 music files from my old laptop via USB cable. All was fine until the other day when I opened up iTunes and the library was empty. Using Vista's search feature, I looked for the files, but according to Vista they didn't exist. Then I click on "Computer" then the C drive, and there they were?! I dragged them all back over to iTunes and yesterday they disappeared again. My e-mails to Sony and Apple have failed to provide a solution. Any ideas?What Operating System? Vista? So the PROBLEM is you cannot find the transferred files? How exactly did you transfer them? How did you hook up the two computers?The problem was that the files were transferred successfully via USB cable and a program that came with the cable called "Easy Transfer for Vista" designed to go from an XP computer to Vista. The music, play lists and everything was there, then a day or two later they were gone. Music cannot just disappear..... You're going to have to tell us more about what happened....

In Itunes click on "File" then Click "Add Folder to Library" this should bring up a window that will let you select a folder to have all its contents added to your library.No this was a straight transfer from a previous laptop using a USB and a program called "Windows Easy Transfer". I just did that again and everything is back, but I'm afraid it might happen again.

So the PROBLEM is you cannot find the transferred files?

How exactly did you transfer them? How did you hook up the two computers?The problem was that the files were transferred successfully via USB cable and a program that came with the cable called "Easy Transfer for Vista" designed to go from an XP computer to Vista. The music, play lists and everything was there, then a day or two later they were gone. Music cannot just disappear.....
