Why do I keep getting this message? Earlier this year I started getting this message on my previous computer and, again, on a new computer I bought back in August. I have received it on the new computer at least six times within three months and I am tired of having to start over from scratch to rebuild my iTunes library. I don't close iTunes now because I am afraid it will happen again. I don't have any problem re-importing my Music, Movies or TV files, which takes about twenty minutes. My main headache is the Podcasts files. I have been listening to podcasts for eighteen years and have amassed a huge amount of episodes from over three hundred shows during that time. When I re-import the files, some shows have episodes with all the release dates, some have episodes with and some episodes without the dates and some are missing the dates for all the episodes. Naturally, the latter two cases messes with the episode order. I have spent the better part of two months trying to get my Podcasts library in order, only to have this stupid error come up again and again and going back to square one. So, please, someone tell my why this keeps happening and what I can do to prevent it from happening again. I've finally gotten the library back to where I need it to be and I do not want to have to do it all over again. I am tired of re-downloading thousands of episodes, which is faster than researching and imputing the release dates manually. I don't understand why the release dates are missing for some episodes, since that should be part of the metadata.
I have an HP M01 F300 desktop, running 64-Bit Windows 10 Home with 64 GB of RAM. My media files are stored on a secondary 8TB Western Digital Blue PC internal hard drive. I am currently running iTunes version 12.13.4.4, which I upgraded to after the last error message.
