My "Apple emac os x 10.3.9" itunes library accidentally got trashed, But still in library, how can I fix it?

Question

I can see that a lot of my music still there, But not sure if all of it is. Some are just track numbers, and I didn't want to take a chance on losing ones that are rare and hard to find. I have a lot of trash to throw and know that it's slowing down my computer, I just want to see if there's any way through this without having to go through them all one by one. Any suggestions....?? Thank you for your time and advice.?

Answer 1

I've lost the songs on my computer
If a song used to appear in iTunes but doesn't now, it may be because:

The iTunes Library file was moved from the iTunes Music folder (in [Your Home Folder]/Music/iTunes). If the iTunes Library file is moved or deleted, your songs won't appear in your library, even though the song files are still in the iTunes Music folder.
The song was moved from the iTunes Music folder.
Here are ways to make your songs appear in the library again:
In the Finder, drag your iTunes Music folder to the iTunes window. You will see the songs in your library again, but not playlists, song ratings, or other information you created.
If that doesn't work, your songs may be elsewhere on your hard disk. In the Finder, choose File > Find and search for a song by title or artist. Or search for "MP4" to find files downloaded from the iTunes Store or "MP3" to find songs encoded in MP3 format. Drag songs (or folders containing songs) to the iTunes window to add the songs to iTunes again.

Answer 2

Your library isn't long previous. you're able to have the means to work out it on your perplexing force with a document explorer/itemizing. you're able to returned up your song library to cd/dvd's or a 2d perplexing force. What your seeing is an itunes subject - reckoning on your opperating equipment - you're able to flow to a restoration factor only earlier you put in the recent utility or reinstall the older version of itunes.
