AI Thread Summary
The iTunes library can sometimes lose access to organized MP3s and podcasts, leading to confusion about their whereabouts. A useful method to recover these files is to utilize the Windows search function by searching for all *.mp3 files. This approach can help locate and restore the missing files back into the iTunes library. Users have reported that their MP3s can unexpectedly scatter on their desktop without a clear reason, prompting concerns about potential issues such as virus infections. However, using the search function effectively can resolve the issue and re-organize the music files in iTunes.

I had all of my music mp3's and podcasts organized in my itunes library , now when I open my itunes library , none of my mp3s are in my itunes library.

Is there a search method , that allows you to search all your mp3's that was previously on your itunes library and organized your mp3's and podcasts back into your itunes library?

We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
