Dear Suzanne, This has happened to me a few times after upgrades to a higher version of iTunes.
Try the following: When in iTunes, go to iTunes preferences with command+comma. Under "General" tab, make sure "show shared libraries" is checked. Under "advanced" tab, you should see the path to your library which is by default: /users/yourname/music/itunes/itunes media Then under "store" tab, make sure that the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is checked. Press okay button and close preferences with command+w, and hopefully your whole library will show.
