They were removed how? If they were moved then move them back! lol If you accidentally stopped sharing files then go to LW's Library then menu File>Add Folder to Share

If you pressed the Delete button from the library then stop everything. Close LW & stop writing to your HDD. You'll need a file recovery utility. Norton Utilities does a good job. Others are around.

Here's some links I quickly found: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/search...der=descending

Sorry I didn't think to search there 1st, it was an after-thought. The 1st on the list 'PC Inspector File Recovery' sounds ok. Though it may crash it does the job & is free. Read the reviews.

Good luck!

Under the reviews given for that program the instructions are not so good. But if you go to the program menu & choose Help you can find better help advice there.

It depends on how you add them to iTunes. If you used the Add to Library function within iTunes (Control & O) then it will copy the songs to its own library. Most other techniques require use of the Consolidation of Library function under iTunes' Advanced menu. See: iPod & iTunes Sticky (click on link) So double-check. Even use your search engine; Start menu>Search for files & folders.

As for your file uneraser, I'd suggest you try Drive C if that's where you were saving them to using LW.

Question Which Progam?

What file recovery program did you use? I tried Pc inspector and I found all my files and recovered them but when I try to play them it only plays like a few seconds of the song or video. Am I doing something wrong or what?
I also tried file scavenger and it did the same thing.
