well my itunes somehow deleted like 1000 items of mine and i don't know how to get them back, especially the stuff i bought in the itunes store. one day everything was there and the next all my playlists were gone even the purchase list. is there a way to get them back? please help i wish to have it all back without re-downloading it all.

If you have them on an ipod you can use the "transfer purchases" option to get the songs you bought back on to the computer. Then to get everything else search in google "Ipod song removal" or something along those lines and you'll find some software that will allow you to copy songs of the ipod. It worked for me when i had to do it.

yeah music rescue works really well to get stuff back from your ipod

deleted, as in gone from your itunes library? or are the files actually gone off your computer? most likely your itunes purchases are in your "My Music" folder. other stuff is probably wherever you put it, (my music folder possibly).. just search your computer for it and drag it back into itunes.

if the files are actually gone off your computer, a program called "ephPod" is good for getting songs off your ipod, assuming all your music is on there.

thnx
and yeah i got my purchases back but all the others were deleted
heh i wasn't patient enough so i just let them go
thank you so much for ur help tho
