- Step 1. Quit iTunes, and find your iTunes library files by Go > Home > Music > iTunes on your Mac

Method 2. Get Back from TimeMachine Backup
If you have backed up your iTunes library by using TimeMachine, you can easily get back deleted songs and playlists.
Method 3. Transfer Songs from iPhone/iPad/iPod back to your iTunes library
If you make sure that all of your songs and playlists are not on your Mac, but have been synced to your iPhone/iPad/iPod recently, you can rebuild your iTunes from your iOS device. Of course, iTunes can’t make it. You may need some professional transfer tool.If you accidentally deleted or lost videos on iPhone, first please check on the Recently Deleted folder. Alternatively, you can use the professional tool Gihosoft iPhone Recovery to recover deleted iPhone videos from Camera Roll or some apps.
Method 4. Re-download your purchased songs from iTunes
What you have purchased on iTunes can be re-downloaded for free. Just cost you some times to download songs again. But your playlists may be gone forever, and you should create them manually.
