Updated iTunes now most of my links are broken

I just updated my iTunes so that I could use my newly updated iPhone 4s with IOS7. I never had an issue with any of my songs until after the upgrade. Most of my songs have the exclamation point saying they can't locate the original file, however this wasn't an issue until I updated my iTunes... how do I fix this. It's VERY annoying to go through all my documents and re-link thousands of songs.

Hello LexiBerkhout
Locate the files on your computer to link them back. You can also roll your iTunes library file back with previous libraries. The articles below will help with both scenarios.

I updated iTunes, now all my music files are in duplicate???

Old iTunes worked fine, then I was prompted to update to the latest version 11.1.1.11 and all my songs are duplicated???
ie: Album One, Song 1 followed by Song 1 (again), Song 2 followed by Song 2 (again), etc. etc.
See screenshot below.
As I also have Microsoft Media Player onboard and have have most song titles saved as mp3's when i bought the laptop 3 years ago, then added my iPod 5 and iTunes to it 18 months ago. Like I said, it worked fine until this recent request from Apple to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes for Microsoft/PC.
Maybe iTunes is picking up all media files, mp3 AND mp4 (or aav, whatever Apple call them now...).
I've uninstalled iTunes twice and re-installed twice to see if it would correct it with no luck.
I've not set iTunes as the default media player.
I can't see any fixes on Apples support page so I'm at a loss...
I'm too worried to connect my iPhone to my laptop now in case it stuffs up my music files stored on it from my PowerMac.
Any tips?
Cheers! Mick Ward

This morning the Iphone prompted me to update software. After that it said my phone was in recovery mode and I had the restore my phone. Now most of the apps are muted and don't respond, help!

First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

I updated iTunes, now it dosen't work

I updated iTunes now i get this error "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
Is it going to count this computer again as another copy of all my songs. This computer is at least two of the 'copies' of many of my songs. Some songs thing they're on even more computers that that.
How can I de-authorize the computer if the program won't run anymore?

Delete 7.2 and try 7.1.

Hello Aaron1658,
It sounds like you are unable to activate your phone with the SIM provided to you by your carrier. Try these steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot what it happening, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
Symptoms
Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
"The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
"iTunes was unable to verify your device."
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
If this is not what you are referring to, would you provide some more information about what is happening? Any error messages, prompts, etc.?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update. You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time. And of course make a backup of your whole library first. It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates. Better safe...

" but the mac didnt allow them because of some apps on my phone s"
What does this mean?
How did you try to import those pics?
You import pics from iphone just as you would from any digital camera. They are not part of the sync process at all.
I am trying to figure out what exactly you did.
Bottom line is that the pics are gone unless you have a backup of your iphone on your computer from a time when the pics were on the iphone.
In the future you should be importing your pics to your computer regularly.

Do you have a mac or PC? If a PC try going into the control panel, add/remove programs, find something named Apple device driver, apple mobile device support, something like that (the exact name has changed from version to version)
Uninstall that then restart your comptuer
Open iTunes and then plug in your device and see if the drivers install

The apps will slowly load from the cloud. It takes quite a bit of time. You'll see your apps show up one by one.

Links are broken, and iWeb won't publish to .mac

Hi,
Just installed ilife and immediately ran update, and tried to continue editing/updating my site.
After publishing, the look of the page was fine, however, all the links to my blog entries were broken. Tried republishing, changing themes, and other to get it fixed. Still links are broken.
Now I am getting this error from .mac and iWeb:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/My_Page/Blog/Entries”. Try publishing again later.
Is this a known problem thats being fixed?
I hear of lots of people having problems. Any ideas? Anyone?

Well, I first took a lot out of my site by deleting from my Idisk so I could go down to a small site to be published. I checked on my sign in with .mac and discovered my husband's signin was current...not mine, so I changed that to mine. then proceeded and was successful. Hated taking down so much but it is still in Iphoto so can reconstruct.
For some reason I was getting a Publishing Error message so I would recommend checking on your settings for your .mac signin. i still am showing that I have 4.95GB in my site. I just need to reconnect some of my links and then all should be fine. Good luck.
