How to Recover Deleted Songs from iTunes Mac?

Music files are generally managed on Mac systems via iTunes. iTunes stores your music files in the iTunes Music folder.

When you delete a song on iTunes, the music file just vanishes from the iTunes listing, and it will be still present in the iTunes Music (iTunes Media in newer versions of Mac) folder. So, first check the iTunes folder for your missing music file. If you find it, then re-import the song back to iTunes via drag and drop option.

If the song is removed from the iTunes, then deleted from the Finder then you have to locate it in the Trash. So, follow these guidelines to get back music deleted from iTunes:

  • Launch iTunes and go to Preferences
  • Choose Advanced option and enable Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library
  • Drag the deleted music file from the Trash and drop onto Desktop
  • Again drag the song on top of the iTunes icon

Now, the deleted song should be reimported into your iTunes and a copy of it should be present in iTunes folder.

In case, you are unable to find the deleted music file in Trash folder then you need to check your Time Machine backup. If the deleted songs are not available even in Time Machine backup, then you need to purchase them again from iTunes Store.
