I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot access my original music library

On or around 6/23 I plugged in my iPod for it's weekly sync with iTunes. The usual prompt to download an updated version came up and went throught the usual motions of updating and installing.
Once all was updated/installed I noticed that when I opened iTunes, my library did not open. When I plugged in my iPod my music came up but I could not edit anything. Then, I proceeded to download a couple new songs that did not sync to my device. I thought it was becuase the new software was a little different and I wasn't use to it then realized iTunes wasn't recognizing my device like it used to.
I have had the same iPod and computer since at least 2008. I only have the one iPod synced with iTunes and I'm not super tech savvy, but the only change I made was updating/installing iTunes software, as prompted.
Any help or suggestions woulb be greatly appreciated!

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

HT1349 I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order, they skip around randomly. The shuffle feature is off. All I really want to do is play an album from start to finish.

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

I downloaded the latest version of itunes. Now I cannot open iTunes. I receive this error message: The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVfoundationCF.dll. Thoughts?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my PC. Now I cannot open iTunes. I receive the following error message: "The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVfoundationCF.dll" After pressing the "OK" button I receive a second error message: 'iTunes not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled to no avail. I've also eliminated the temp files (per suggestions on the trouble-shooting page) and no luck. I also tried system restore and that did not fix the problem. Any thougths on a repair?

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Why won't the latest version of iTunes run? I've downloaded it twice. Come to that, why isn't iTunes an option in the product list on this site? Apple did make that, didn't they?

I just downloaded the recent version of itunes and now am unable to print a playlist for the jewel case.

I just wanted to post that I found my I-pod cache file and deleted it and now synchronization works fine, so no need for anyone to post an answer to this. Thank you very much.

I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and now I cannot open the iTunes store. It just sits there and says it's loading for hours, but does nothing.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now ALL of my songs sounf d like skipping records. How do I get rid of this or completely remove the new version that I downloaded???

I booted up my computer and opened up my usual shortcuts. I got a message from iTunes that a new version was available and would I like to download it. I clicked on "yes". It took over 1/2 hour to download and now ALL of my songs sound like a skipping record or like they are tripping over themselves. I uninstalled the ITunes and tried reinstalling my old version. I've tried EVERYTHING I could think of to get my old version back but everytime I go through the download process I get a message saying that - the file "iTunes Library.itl "cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. I was finally able to download a version that will open but it has the same "skipping" problem. How do I stop/fix this or COMPLETELY get rid of this version of iTunes and re-download what I had??? I'm REALLY distressed.      Jim

Usually, the exclamation mark tells you that the song was not where the program expected to find it. It may also mean that there was an error with the file itself.
   If you click on the exclamation mark, it may give you a reason. You can also double click the file to make it play. If the file is not found, it will tell you. Just follow the prompts to look for the song again. It will ask you if you want to look for the other missing songs in the same folder. You can do it, but unfortunately, the last few updates have made the program blind to the songs that are there and you sometimes have to do the same process for each song.
   If neither of these help, I would suggest starting from scratch and reinstalling iTunes. I have had to do that before. Do your best to back up the library and such first.
   Sometimes a computer will rename a hard disk (Windows) and all the songs on that disk will be gone to iTunes because it will think it's looking in the right place. It can't recognize that the hard disk or partition has been renamed.
I know that this is a podcast, but the principle is the same. A dialogue box should pop up to tell you just what the problem is.
   I hope this helps!
