My itunes library does not appear when I open iMovie

When I have iMovie open and want to add a song from my iTunes library, my iTunes library does not populate.

the reference to the Apple memo did not work for me. I am not sure whether my identical problem was preceded by the Apple upgrade of iTunes, OR the back-up I did two days ago to an external drive.
In any event, the instructions did not match my hard drive configuration, so I just decided to restore iTunes via Time Machine. Now I have my library back!

  • ITunes Library does not appear when I open Itunes

    I recently upgraded to the newest version if ITunes and now my music does not appear in the libray. I did not chnage the libary location at any time. Any suggestions?

  • Itunes Library does not appear to be a valid music library

    Ever since downloaded Itunes 5, deleted started again back with 4.9 I have had nothing but problems. All my tunes are stored on an external hard drive.
    I have just reloaded all my music and tidied it all up nicely and then when it went to update the ipod this is the message I got :
    The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid music library file.
    iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file iTunes 4musiclibrary(damaged)1.itl
    PLEASE HELP as this is really cracking me up now.

    This is really old, not sure how much still applies:

  • Itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library file

    i'm importing AIFF files into itunes, converting those to AAC and deleting the original AIFF files. i tried to import an album of AIFF's and received a message that i didn't have enough hard drive space to import so itunes would import as many of the files as it could. i knew i'd get to this point and would have to transfer some files onto my hard drive. however, when i clicked okay, the computer froze. i restarted manually and received the following message after attempting to open itunes "the file 'itunes library 2009-12-06' does not appear to be a valid itunes library file. itunes has created a new itunes library and renamed this file to 'itunes library (damaged)'." i'm not sure why this happened and i can't find 'itunes library (damaged)' anywhere. i have all my music still i just can't get itunes back to the way it was. please help! thanks so much.

    I'll try and make this as concise as possible. Was following another thread that was "archived" without a solution. I randomly will get the error message 1450 "itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library - renamed library damaged." I've done everything and I'm at level 2 with phone support. The fixes we've tried seem to solve the problem momentarily but a few weeks will go by and the problem happens again. I loose all my podcasts and have to reload all music. My daughters have a different user account on the same computer and it happens to them as well. We have tried only loading itunes music files and that doesn't fix the problem either. We've reinstalled many times. I have an internal additional hard drive where I store the music but I've tried installing and saving everything on my original drive and the problem happens that way as well. I've read many threads and those of us with this problem aren't finding any answers. Please Apple or someone help with this. I'm ready to change phones and music players.

  • Itunes icon does not appear when attepting to uninstall. Any suggestions?

    When i click on iTunes is tells me I need to reinstall. (Error 7). However, itunes icon does not appear when attempting to unistall. Any suggestions?

    I'm going to assume you are indeed using Windows Vista as your computer information states, and request this be moved to the Windows forum (it was posted in the iTunes for Mac forum).

  • HT1399 Hi! The "chapter" menu does not appear when I open a book in itunes. How can I make it appear?

    Hi! The "chapter" menu does not appear when I open a book in itunes. How can I make it appear? In fact, one time it did appear, but it seems to have been more of an incident.

    Books are meant to be read on your Devices through iBook App and will not work on iTunes.

  • ITunes screen does not appear when I try to open

  • The lock symbol does not appear when I open a secure page in firefox 4.0. Has this been removed?

    Previously, using firefox 3.6.1, when I opened a secure or encrypted page, the lock icon appeared on that page.
    When I upgraded to firefox 4.0, the lock icon is no longer appearing when I open a secure page. Please confirm whether this has been removed or in the alternative whether there is a way to determine that the secure or encrypted page is indeed secure to use.

    In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
    So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

  • New iTunes library does not appear

    I've just got my new MacBook Pro and want to move my iTunes library to the new Mac. Followed the article about this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173) except i used Firewire to move the iTunes folder. After replacing the iTunes folder on the new Mac with the one from the old Mac i start iTunes. BUT the program still uses the wrong library. I also tried restarting the Mac.
    One more question: In the iTunes-folder in my old Mac there is a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries" containing 3 files: "iTunes 4 Music Libray", "iTunes 4 Music Library (Old)" and "iTunes Library 2005-9-15". Do I need theese or can they be thrown away?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The problem seems to be your songs have not been added to your library. Use either drag & drop or File->Add to Library.
    In regard to the Music Library files, use your own discretion after reading these:
    What's the "Old" Music Library in iTunes 4.5 for?

  • ITunes Library does not appear in iDVD

    When I open iDVD 6, I don't see my iTunes Library in the Media panel. Actually, I don't see my music library in iPhoto either. How do get other iLife applications to find my library?
    I tried recreating my iTunes XML file by following these instructions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=32152
    I did recently move my home directory from one hard disk to another using the NetInfo Manager utility. But I reconnected my library in iTunes in the preferences.
    Thanks for your help,
    Sandy

    Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
    This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

  • The iTunes store does not load when I open it

    So I recently had to install the latest version of iTunes after I upgraded to the newest version of iOS on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) because the older iTunes version wasn't compatable with the newest iOS version. I had been using a much older version of iTunes becuase every time I would update the iTunes store without fail would stop working. I spent almost an entire day trying to fix it like 6-8 months ago and I finally got it to work with one of the older versions, which was why I was mad that I had to update it again.
    Anyways, the iTunes store will not load at all. Everytime I open up iTunes on my computer (I have Windows Vista) and I try to go to the iTunes store, it never loads. It keeps saying "Accessing iTunes Store" (see image). I have tried to wait it out, but nothing ever changes.
    I have already tried reinstalling iTunes and tried reinstalling the newest version, neither of which helped. I also tried what they suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123 but the only item that came up under the Winsock Providers tab was the Apple one.
    Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

    That's exactly like saying, "Hey, try this.  It didn't work either.  Good luck!"
    It's the high-percentage play with the particular symptom set being reported. High-percentage implies that it doesn't work for some people. (Otherwise it'd be a 100% play.) So, it still makes sense for people to try it, even if it doesn't work for some people, because it does work for most people. Check other posts by wiclee using that set of instructions to get a better feel for the reliability of the advice in these circumstances. (Granted, that's a bit tricky given that only about 10-20 percent of people report back to say whether or not any advice (on any given topic) actually works.)

  • Welcome screen does not appear when I open Elements 10

    Following installation of a new hard drive, I re-installed Elements 10.  However, I now don't get the Welcome page when I open it. It goes straight to EDIT. This never happened before.  How do I change this so that the Welcome page appears?  I have un-installed and re-installed Elements, but that has made no difference.

    Hi,
    Glad you have got it working.
    The preferences are never touched when you uninstall elements. In the majority of cases this is an advantage in that you can reload the code without affecting your settings.
    If you need to reset the preferences, there are ways to do it. Occasionally it is necessary to reset them when strange things happen.
    Some people have trouble with Welcome screen and it became known as the Unwelcome screen. In that case they use shortcuts direct to the application of their choice. I tend to have a shortcut direct to the organizer because that is where I always start from.
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • My entire TV show library does not appear when using home sharing to ipad

    I've tried everything to get my entire library to show when using home sharing on the ipad but it only displays the shows under letter A to the beginning of F.  Is there a limit on the seasons that can be displayed? Im streaming from itunes on a PC.

    I figured out my own problem. Thanks dmule you're a genius. All I had to do was turn off home sharing on my iPad and then turn it back on. Now all the video art work matches their proper movies.

  • TS1538 When I open itunes, "Devices" does not appear at all in the left column on the screen, therefore I can not sync my ipod touch.

    When I open itunes, "Devices" does not appear t all in the left column on the screen. I can not sync my ipod with my itunes library. Suggestions?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
