Personally loaded music is gone, folders are there but empty.
Updated to iTunes 10, now all my personally loaded music is gone; the folders are all there but every song is gone. All my iTunes purchases are fine, just all the music I've loaded for 3 years is gone.
You would probably get more help by posting this in the MobileMe Forum.

Good luck.

a few days ago a new folder appeared in my photos folder on PC called Icloud. Previously all icloud photos were going to a folder called my Photo stream. now my icloud photos are not autoatically going to my PC in either folder (either the new icloud one or the old my photo stream one) but they are sharing between my iphone 5 and ipad 3.
Im using windows 7 and i think the cloud has just been upgraded (??) to 3.1
I tried taking icoud off my computer and re-installing but this hasnt worked.
My icloud photos says that my photos are not enabled but when I look on iclud the photos box is ticked>
Im confused and not sure what to try next.
any tips would be welcomedJnst76,

iTunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."
You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you? -
I haven't backed up my computer in over a year. When I tried to back it up today, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old photos and documents (including all the pictures from the year I studied abroad/traveled a bunch), the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or how I could fix it? I really don't want to lose all those photosSo you were doing a time machine backup to another partition on the same hard drive? Just trying to gather some information so i can provide a helpful response.

Can't see files on usb stick - folders are there but no files inside
Hello
I plugged in my usb stick to download some pictures I have on there. The folders of the different albums are there and the info says the folders are of the right size (5gb for instance) but the files do not show so I can't copy them onto my Mac.
I tried it on a pc and it shows all the picture files and works fine.
I originally downloaded the pictures from my camera whilst abroad on a PC in a cafe and then transferred to the USB.
Anyone got any clues?
Thanks.....Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is Spotlight indexing the usb stick? Check the menu in the upper right.
If it is, wait for it to complete. -
Buttons in the Finder toolbar are there, but empty when window is active
When I am viewing a Finder window, and it is the foremost window, the buttons in the toolbar are empty:
When I click on another Finder window and the previously mentioned window goes into the background, I can see them:
Another interesting artifact of this issue is anywhere in menus there should be an arrow indicating a submenu, those arrows do not display. Also, in Preview, for example, the buttons are all empty.
An interesting correlation is that iPhoto also started giving me issues with thumbnails being black around this same time (2 days ago).
I believe the only thing that changed on my system was I installed drupal with homebrew.
Any help is appreciated, as the strangeness (and lack of usability) of these display issues concerns me.The only way I found to fix this was to boot to the repair partition and reinstall OSX. All my settings and programs were retained.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank youHi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!
What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on. -
I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I enabled my restrictions and then disabled them succuessfully, but in the process I lost all my folders that my apps were defined into. The apps are there but the folders don't exist anymore, please help.
You may want to try restarting to see if that has any effect Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

After upgrading to the latest editon iTunes, the text associated with syncing any device is gone. The buttons are there but no text. Also the toolbar for iTunes has disappeared.
That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:
Re: iTunes 10.1 Missing Text
But if you're using Windows 7, try itunesTRK's suggestion from the following post:

Have you tried placing a copy in the Automatically add to iTunes folder?

I've upgraded my 4th gen ipod to ios6. I manually manage videos and music as it is easier to access my videos through playlists which I access through the music icon. Since upgrading to ios6 the playlists are there but when I go into them the individual videos aren't visible. I know they are there because I can access them through the videos icon. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
Does it still turn on to the Apple logo?
If it does, turn it on and hold it up to your ear. If it's making a clicking sound, try hitting it easy a few times on the side. The idea is the hdd is "stuck" and hitting it loosens it. Just don't do it too hard to break it. -
My iPhone 4S has decide to stop playing any of my music. All my songs are there, but when I click to play, it just scrolls through a bunch of songs and then reverts back to the play list. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this? Thanks.
I am having the same issue. And today, I noticed that when I was talking on the phone, the volume went down low. I had to reboot the phone, so that the volume was up again. Mostly, though, it's my music that I am having issues with.
Same issue as listed above. iPhone 4S. IOS6. -
My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
Are they there?
