Hi, I've never experienced anything like that. I'm guessing that you either have multiple Library files in your iTunes folder or that there is something corrupt within your existing Library database since you're still having issues when trying to add things.
I would have iTunes recreate your Library by doing the following: • Make sure that iTunes is Quit. • Start iTunes again but make sure that your option key remains down during the startup of iTunes. The easiest way to ensure this occurs is to press VO-space on the iTunes Dock item but don't release your VO keys. • iTunes will bring up the Choose a Library dialog. • Press cmd-shift-h to focus on your Home Directory. • Navigate to your Music folder and expand it. • Select the iTunes folder from within the Music folder. • Press on the Choose button. iTunes should pick the Library file from within that folder. Hopefully, everything gets rebuilt and you see everything once again. If this doesn't do anything for you, you'll most likely need to go into your iTunes Preferences, under the Advanced pane. The first item in that pane shows your iTunes media location. You can press on the Change button and change it to your media folder. This folder is located within the iTunes folder and is either called iTunes Media or iTunes Music. Once you select this folder, iTunes will add the items from within that folder to the iTunes database and thus they will appear in your iTunes Library. If you had any Playlists, these will be lost as the process is like starting a iTunes Library from scratch. Not the best option if you had lots of Playlists but at least you'll have all the media items back in your Library. HTH Later...
