Help! Yesterday I started off again on my seemingly endless job of ripping my old CD's into my iTunes library, then when I had done s few, I noticed that the "library" seemingly now consisted only of the tunes I had ripped that morning and all the other tunes (hundreds of them) had vanished.

I also noted that the "new" iTunes I had updated at Apple's suggestion a few days ago now cannot access the internet from my computer, so I can't access either Apple help, or my iTunes account.

Any ideas, anyone? FYI, the iTunes version is 12.2.1.16 and I am running Windows 8.1 (with all the recent updates) on a Toshiba laptop.

Have you tried the support community? If not, Google

iTunes version is 12.2.1.16 and I am running Windows 8.1

You might get some help there if none shows up here.

Did this ever get resolved? I keep getting the dialogue box inviting me to update iTunes, but I'm reluctant to do this if it ain't gonna work.

You need to keep itunes updated to latest version, if using it to update your iphone's operating system, otherwise the update may fail.

What annoys me about itunes is that it puts music on your iphone which is not easy to delete.

If the backup settings on your iPhone are set to transfer all the music to your 'phone, unsurprisingly, that's exactly what will happen.

Connect the 'phone to iTunes and change it to transfer only checked music and bob's your auntie. I don't recall that iTunes has ever changed in this respect; certainly not in the last decade or so.

Yes I know that, I was thinking of music that apple puts on your iphone during an OS update.

I thought they'd only done that once but if you never download music, and get it all by ripping CDs, it shouldn't be a problem.
