Where are all of my files gone? Windows 7

I just turned on my computer (windows 7) this morning with no knowledge of the updates that have taken place. Entered my I-tunes to play music and I noticed that all my songs have been deleted. Then, I went to my music folder and noticed that there is no file there or another or in one of my papers. Is it possible that I can solve this problem and make sure that it doesn't happen?

Hello
 
Method 1.
Check if the file or folder are hidden and also check the Recycle Bin folder is deleted by mistake.
Or you can also use windows search to find any documentor a file in the computer to search for the location of the folder.
 
Method 2.
Best thing you can do is to perform a system restore just before where the problem occurred.
I have listed a few articles that explain the system restore in Windows 7.

  • Where are the backup of files from a backup Iphone 3 G slot on a computer?

    I looked in the Apple site and I followed the steps and they aren't there. I have windows 7 also. I talked to Apple and they had me go through the control panel and check a box to view all the hidden files and folders. Then they had me go through computer / C drive / users / username folder / App data / roaming / Apple Computer / mobilesync / backup / and they are not there. Apple told me to contact Dell since I was a Dell cpmputer. I contacted Dell and they told me that I had to take 100s of dollars in order to help that is a bunch of BS, so here I am at my last resort. Hope someone can help me here. However my computer is configured for backups is not how I put in place. I have tons of files it would take too long to download again. Uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling would help the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    This isn't where the music is supposed to be.  As indicated in the link provided above: "Although iTunes backs up most of the settings your device, downloaded applications, your audio, video and pictures do not appear in the backup."

    The iPhone uses two separate terms - backup and sync and sync music is optional.  My music sync is stored in C:\Users\Username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music (or just music LibraryiTunes\iTunes Media\Music).

    There are a few articles discussing synchronization support Apple at: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/syncing/

  • Why are all my folders/files in the same display format? Win. 7

    A few days ago I had some folders/files in the "Détails" view, then I could get into this folder and the files/folders would be to "large icons". For some reason, all my folders/files turned to mode «Détails» If I changed the view of the "Large icons" folder, it would change just return to the 'Details' when I returned to the folder. I changed it if all folders/files are now to "Large icons", but it was so much easier having separate folders contain separate views. How can I return it to that?

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium.

    This article basically talks about about how take a point of view and copy to other folders, but it also explains how to do the opposite.  This also explains why the libraries do not allow this (which means that you can never have seen separate if you go to a library).

  • No idea how I can follow all currently open files (or windows) to a file text or other sort of newspaper? Something similar to the Applications tab in the Manager of tasks, but with a path

    I am interested in creating a batch file or executable that will keep track of all of the currently open windows (files and applications)

    so that when Windows restarts I can more easily return to what I was doing before.
    This can be done either by connecting each operation on the file - open and remove items in the list when an item (file or window) is closed (logging only at this time here)
    , or by checking every 5-10 seconds that windows and files are currently open.
    I tried using TaskList, and OpenFiles to it but cannot do things, plus those also do not provide a path to open files - I want to keep the paths so that the items can be recovered (reopening) with a single click.   Any ideas how to do this?   I use Windows 7 Professional.
    My idea is to have the possibility to go back to all that I was working on, without having to memorize the list...  It is very useful for people who keep a lot of files and windows open most of the time, especially if for some reason any Windows crashes or stops the case (e.g. restart after an update...).    MS Office products can do it (by saving temporary files and allows you to recover if the program was not closed properly), a Web browser can do (keeping a story and using the session management)-why Windows can't do
    ?
    In addition, if there is such list of open windows and files then it might be possible to keep also some history and ' files/windows' recently closed, similar to how Google Chrome can show recently closed tab.
    The application that I'm developing (for my own personal use, although I would offer it to someone else) will be:
    -keep a history and a current list of open files/windows, including a path for each file opened.
    -Files/windows closed are removed from the list "now open" and moved to the list of "recently closed", which has a maximum length.
    -file/window close operations should be associated with the user control. Otherwise, opens the files that are closed
    by Windows when the judgment is no longer will be identified as open.
    -an option would be to ensure, somehow, that this request is always closed during a regular shutdown process first.
    -Another option is to simply assume that there is no problem, if Windows broke down, and that the user is reminded to close the application before you stop.
    -Another option is to have the traceable list, a user can go back a few steps up a point until Windows began to close.
    -Another option is to have the "last sitting" identified as, for example 2 minutes before closing, while keeping a list of items opened after that date.
    -list "recently closed" items that are too old (have been pushed to the bottom of the list and beyond of the length limit are moved to history.
    -l' history can be defined for a limited time or can be cleaned manually or automatically (periodically), or we can set a limit on the length for the history list.
    * the application/batch/executable is located in the Windows startup folder and it:
    -is launched at Windows startup
    -after start (automatically or manually) will display a dialog box containing a list of the items that were open before windows stop - see Creating session above.
    -user can deselect items in the list if he or she does not want to open them. "Uncheck the items of list moves to the ' recently closed" list or history.
    -by identifying which items are not kept, or simply to keep everything, the user clicks on a single button and the application opens to all items that are always enabled.  To avoid slowing down the system, an option is available to open files, in which case a flow can be set.  Defining a priority list, it is also an idea.
    If you think you have a good idea for this or want to work on it with me, please contact me at * address email is removed from the privacy *.
    If you are able to do it yourself, let me know.

    It all sounds very complicated for me, I wish you well in your efforts.

  • Where are all my photos?

    Only 9 of my about 3500 JPEG photos went from Photoshop to Revel. Where are my pictures?

    Are the main reasons why the pictures do not appear to Revel

    (1) they are not jpg files

    (2) your organizer of items has not been synchronized with Photoshop.com, before it migrated

    (3) your files have not yet migrated

    (4) you didn't file in Photoshop.com

    Do you use items? If Yes, was your organizer put in place to keep in touch with photoshop.com and download files automatically? Do you have a complete message of migration to Adobe?

    Hi all

    I expect to download all the necessary Windows XP drivers for Tecra P10 (PTSB3A) of the website of the Australia and the New Zealand from Toshiba (where this model is marketed). As far as I know Windows XP is supported.

    So I navigate the website in the download section, select this template and it comes up with a list of 51 drivers/software - BUT only 2 are for Windows XP. Where is the rest? Missing is drivers for wireless, LAN, sound, etc. I am at a loss as to where they are... I really need them!

    I appreciate your help,

    Michal

    It seems an Australian series for Toshiba laptop.
    I have it assumes a new series and not long on the market.

    Maybe drivers Win XP will be published in the hope to let s next time.
    If you n t want to wait, then you might try to gather XP drivers at your own hand.

    I mean, you can try some drivers third 3rd in the manufacturer of the chip.
