Itunes 10 what did I do wrong ??

okay this is long but stay with me if you can help...
I had itunes 9 working fine on my PC, all the media was on D: drive (but not in the itunes standardized folders structure).. as well as a backup of all the "itunes" account folders.. I have one 'account' folder for each user, (CD itunes, MD itunes, CL itunes) all of whom accessed the same media library.. (the hold down shift as you click the itunes icon thingy)
I had to re format the C: drive but I was confident that I had a backup of everything so it did not phase me (sucker)..
okay I reformat the C: reinstall everything and go for the latest itunes, I installed itunes 10 and created the same account folders in the newly installed itunes 10 on C:...  I copied over the account files "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Library.xml" for each user into their respective account folder.
when I opened any user's account in itunes all media was missing (cannot locate files etc..) media was listed but could not find the files to play..
I read that itunes 10 has a different media folder structure to earlier versions so I uninstalled 10 and went back to 9.xx
when I opened any users account in itunes 9 it said that the DB files were from an newer version and could not work with this version..!!!?
so in the end I reinstalled itunes 10 and reimported everything as if from new, and lost the play history etc..
So in case this reformat happens again, what is the best way to avoid the same results.????????
Q #2 If I go ahead and have itunes10 take care of the media folders structure in it's new form.. How will this effect the limks to the media files location for the other two users who use the same media library but through their own account...????
help please  CD

  • Hi. I just synced my New Iphone 4S to my Itunes but it didn't transfer anything but the apps? What did I do wrong?

    Here are the steps I made..
    Plugged in old IPhone( IPhone 4)
    Synced to ITunes.
    Unplugged and erased old IPhone (IPhone 4)
    Plugged in new IPhone (IPhone 4 S)
    Followed instructions.
    Restore from old Phone Option.
    Restored Old Apps But No Contact info, Text, or Photos.
    What did I do Wrong?
    Can I still recover my old Info?

    Do you have a backup of your iphone?  if you do, then go to settings -general - reset - erase all contents and settings.  This will wipe your phone clean, then you will have the option to restore from backup  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

    If so, then review the first link to see if you can troubleshoot your issue yourself. If that doesn't work, then contact iTunes Support via the second link below:

  • I updated my iPhone today over wifi.  It downloaded 6.1.3 completely and started then installed it.  After the install all it does is show the connect to iTunes screen.  What did I do wrong and now do I have to completely restore the phone?

    Next question.... I did an iCloud save point earlier today so in theory everything should have been saved and the restore won't be a complete loss right?  Please tell me my pics aren't gone.....
    Thanks for the help.

  • Music not recognized from old PC to new, what did i do wrong.

    Thanks for any advice

    The index page copied from the template is now reading the css.  I did nothing other than shut down DW and open it again.  Maybe it just takes a while for the process to complete.  Am now creating more pages that are also not reading css.  Will do the same and see if it all connects.

    Check to see if you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  If you are, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  (You can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.)

    If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
    Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

  • When user clicks on "Like Button," the counter increases but nothing shows up showing the user recommends my site to their friends. What did I do wrong?

    When user clicks on "Like Button," the counter increases but nothing shows up showing the user recommends my site to their friends. What did I do wrong?
    I used the iframe code from Facebook's "Like Button" site; and inserted the code in the html widget popup box, then positioned it where I wanted it on my page and published. It looks fine (though I had to add "http" before my url to get it to show up).
    So, when a user clicks on button, a pop-up opens asking for Facebook password. When I (the user) enter a password, nothing happens after that. I thought the idea was that a user would be able to show their friends that they like my website. After I entered my password in pop-up after clicking on "Like" I went to my facebook page (a company page) to see if it showed that I (the user that clicked on "Like" on iweb) recommended the website. But nothing showed up. I thought maybe it was because Facebook associated my password as the admin for the Facebook page so didn't count it. But a friend tried it and same thing happened. I went back and on one page I put in another facebook code for a combo Like/Send button. It shows up but acted the same as the regular Like button.
    Questions:
    1. Is this the way the Like Button is suppose to work? Only benefit of Like button being that it just counts the clicks on the Like button and does NOT let users share their recommendation with their friends?
    2. If it's suppose to let users share their "Likes" with their friends, what did I do wrong? There were three types of code but in reading discussions, they all say to use iframe. (I used the first choice which I think was html for Javascript SDK and put that in my HTML Snippit box and the Like/Share button showed up on my iweb page next to the facebook icon and the words "likes this" but when I click it, I don't see instructions that it's sending my recommendation to my friends.)
    I must have done something wrong, but can't figure out what. Does anyone know? If the only benefit of the Like Button is the counter, it doesn't seem worthwhile.
    Thanks to anyone who can figure this out!  My website is couponsforfun.com

    You want something like this?
    http://home.wyodor.net/demoos/facebook/
    The send button sends the link to their friends in the address field with a message.
    They recieve a message in the inbox.
    There's no post on a page.
    If they want that, then they should share the link themselves.
    Perhaps it's best to study what facebook has to offer and how it works instead of guessing what it is supposed to do and be disappointed.

    In my opinion this icon what you mentioned is related to Firefox installer file.

  • I had microsoft exchange added and when I synced I lost all of my prior contacts. Also, thenames all turned to numbers.  Example when you get a text from a contact, their name appeared.  Now just a phone number.  What did I do wrong and can I get it back?

    Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc.  Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name.  What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored.  When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

  • When I scan and save the document to pdf, it comes out complete grayed out.  What did I do wrong?

    When I scan and save the document to a pdf, it comes out completely grayed out.  What did I do wrong?

    Thank you.  I already have that checked.   After an update, it started doing this.   Preferences> Display>Page Content & Info > Show large images is checked.
    It is almost like a protection on the document that grays out all the content.

  • EMac Freezes while running Diskwarrior!  What Did I Do Wrong?

    I just purchased Diskwarrior upon the suggestion of several people here, and decided to try it out. I booted up from the DiskWarrior CD, and followed instructions. It said HD was ready to rebuild and I clicked on that. It went for awhile and then just froze. I had to turn the power off to get out of the program and back to my my startup disk.
    What did I do wrong? Is there more to installing it than just booting up from the CD? I need some great advice! Thanks.

    Janice,
    You're certain DW really froze? It takes typically about 45 minutes to process a half-full 40 GB HD on my 700 MHz eMac, and at some parts of the run it does appear as if the progress bar isn't moving, but it does come back to update the screen eventually.
    The only times I can recall reports of Disk Warrior failing all ended up being traced to hardware failure of one kind or another (bad RAM in particular). What version of Disk Warrios do you have? The version number will be printed on the DW CD. Since your profile shows OS X 10.3.9, through, any DW recently purchased from Alsoft should work with your Mac. Have you checked the disc for smudges or scratches?
    Dig out your Apple Hardware Test (AHT) disc and see if your Mac will boot from that and if so what it says about the optical drive. You may need to run a CD lens cleaner through the drive one or two passes. Also have AHT check the RAM; you can also use Memtest.
    The other thing that comes to mind is to try DW with all peripherals other than keyboard and mouse disconnected.

  • All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

    All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo to Iphoto from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
