A maojority of my library can nor be found?
I have over 500 songs on in my itunes libray and have been successfully downloading, creating playlists, and then downloading them to my ipod for 8-10 months now.
The only computer I use for itunes and the music store is my business laptop. When I travel I have been able to hook up to the inernet and download,play, update ipod with no problems
This past week I was on business and downloaded some musice while in the hotel room then went down to a conference room to play some of them at a breakfast and suddenly a message appeared asking for my username and password??? I tried and tried and despite loging in corectly could never get the music both new and old to play.
So i got home and back to the office and the same thing! It is only recognizing like 20% of my entire library? When I try to click on a certian song and it says "this song can not be found? And once again asks me to re input my username and password etc and once again NO MUSIC
My ipod even messed up in this process. Now my ipod lost songs as well. Let say I had 50 songs in a Jazz folder. Well now there are only 2? When I look at that same jazz folder in my lbrary on my laptop when in itunes I will see all 50 songs but when I try and play one of them the message comes up?
So I can't figure it out? Thoughts I am having...
When I allow my office mates to share my music at work (but not giving them my password) could his mess uo the whole "5 machine max can be authorized thing?"
Also I almost never even burn a CD from my library so the concept that I have used all this music "too many times" and now it i dead is urealistic I think??
I am thinking it has to do with eitehr synconization of my laptop tp my work newtrok? Or maybe my ituens music folder is not connetcing to my library somhow?? Last but not least i did do an itunes update about 30 days abgo so maybe late dec eraly January that seemed to download onto my ipod fine
Please help! I am dyin without all these tunes I have workes so hard to compile
Compaq nc6230 Windows XP
Thanks! Tried this all this morning. Now what it looks like is that when i first started my itunes account i started it using my home computer and home email address. I downloaded abou 20 songs on that account/email address/computer. Right there after I got my busienss laptop and decided to not use the home account any longer and start a new one knowing that I would be using my laptop as my primary account. So, I started a new account, new credit card, new email, new computer. Moving forward I used this account for 500 plus songs with no probelm.
Well now when I click on a song the user name and passswrod pops up but already laid in there is my home emial address? The old account?? it is almost like itunes thinks that all this music was purchased on my old account? But it was not! i am sure of that. So even when I put in my old pass word it still does not play the music.
Oh yeah and when i went to my current account info meaning my business account with busienss email that i have downloaded all this music on it is saying I only have 1 computer authorized ???
Total confusion! Any other ideas

I obviously can see that I have many photos and events so I am not sure why I'm getting this message.I have all the current software and have been playing around with it for hours and can't figure out the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Any ideas?
Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there. -

I just installed ITunes 11.0.4. I get the error message: "The Itunes Library cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file." When I sign on next, it says the library can't be found, and Itunes wont open. I'm running Windows Vista with Mcafe protection
Hi there Br0x,
You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Photos scanned to iPhoto Library can't be found!
I scanned some photos from my new Canon CanoScan 8800F, using both the PhotoStudio and Photoshop Elements 4.0 programs that came with the scanner. I saved them to my iPhoto Library, but when I go to iPhoto they are nowhere to be found, in the Last Import or anywhere else. When I try to import them using File>Import feature, they show up but are grayed out, as they are if I look for them in the Finder. However, I can still open them up in both PhotoStudio and Photoshop. So, I then copied them to my desktop from those programs and tried to drag them into iPhoto - whereupon iPhoto says they are already there! I scanned them as jpegs, and the first 4 or 5 photos I scanned worked just fine. Shut down and reopened iPhoto - no dice. ARGHHHH! Please help! Thanks.

Rule 1 - Never, Never, Never modify the content of the iPhoto library - doing so will not work and may corrupt your library
Since you have places photo in the iPhoto library that it does not know about you must remove them from the iphoto library - backup first and be extremely careful not to make any other changes - and then import them to iPhoto.
iPhoto is a database and for it to know about photos they must be imported into iPhoto - and you can not import photos from within the iPhoto library into the iPhoto library

My Itunes library can't be found
I wanted to start itunes the other day and it came up with the message "the folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required. the default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder". I looked in this folder and tried to open the library but it was not possible.
I then tried to manually open itunes and it came up that itunes.itl (file extension) could not be found.
Has anybody got any suggestions.
regards,
sony viao VGN-T1XP Windows XP ProThen iTUnes might of got corrupted, try removing iTUnes AND quciktime from control panel>add/remove. (If it doesn't remove goto the next step below anyways)
Now you will goto this link and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" and follow the steps. if in windows cleaner you don't see iTUnes and quicktime listed this will be normal if you removed it from control panel. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
After all this DISABLE any antivirus/security/notron/mcafee products Goto www,apple.com and download the latest iTUnes and install it. (Installing iTUnes will also install quicktime again, iTUnes needs quicktime to function correctly) -

Please help! iMac iPhoto 'can't be found'?
I'm going to the Genius Bar tonight in order to ask for more help, but if anyone can give any answers now that would be great. My mom recently bought a G-Drive in order to save files from our iMac. She backed up some files, but then she tried to open up a new program and the iMac went blank. We've got it back running now, but she didn't back up the iTunes or iPhoto files from our computer, both have LOTS of music and photos. Whether we start the computer in Safe Mode or not, the iTunes is still all there (25 GB of it), but when we try to open iPhoto, it says that our library can't be found. It has the option to search for a library, and some miscellaneous pictures are still there (not form iPhoto, though). Is there any way that this can be recovered?
Is the application somewhere? Only you can know that.
You can always reinstall it -
reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

When trying to open ITunes, I got an error message of msvcr80.dll can not be found.
Assuming that it was an iTunes file, I reinstalled iTunes.
Trying to open again, I got an error message of an appication is trying to open a library file incorrectly.
How do I resolve this problem.
Neither my PC with Vista nor my my laptop with windows 7 will work?
ThanksHello Msvcr80.dll,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

While trying to copy my iPhoto Library (49.61 GB) to an external hard drive, I receive the error message "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)"
I need to move my library because I have no more disk space. This was going to be step 1 followed by backing up to another EHD.
More details: iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29) OX X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 (Mid 2011 Mac Book Air). EHD= WD Elements 1 TB (purchased at B&H Photo where the sales associate formatted it for a Mac).
Any step by step ideas for help are appreciated! I've read through a few threads but need more step by step directions.That error message is an I/O error which can mean a number of things, among them a bad file. Here's a couple of fixes you can try:
1 - use the free version of iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library with the rebuild being created on the EHD as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
When iPLM finishes it will display a log file entry showing which files it was unable to use in the rebuild. Open the old library with iPhoto, locate and delete the photos that iPLM listed in its log. Then try dragging the library to the EHD again.
If the above fails continue with:
2 - create a new, empty library on the EHD. Use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manage to copy the events (1-2 at a time) to the new library on the EHD. At one point iPLM may run into the bad file and be unable to copy the event. You can check iPLM's log to see what file it is. Then open that library, delete the file and either try to copy the entire library by dragging and dropping or contine with the copying of events from the old library to the new library. -
Hi,
Installed a new startup drive and cannot access my photos. While copying/pasting iPhoto library from old to new drive I get,
The finder can't complete the operation because some data on iPhoto Library can't be read or written.
Getting help from Apple senior advisor caused more problems, was unable to boot up for a while. Back up now but still can't transfer iPhoto Library.
Anyone seen this before?
Thank youLinc and Larry, could you please have a look at this thread? Sorry, it is in German:
Re: Fehlermeldung beim Verschieben von iPhoto
The OP is trying to copy the iPhoto library to an external drive and getting "The finder can't complete the operation because some data on iPhoto Library can't be read or written. Error code -36". This happens even when copying to the same drive. The destination drive is correctly formatted.
The Console is showing a message I don't understand:
03.06.14 18:26:40,990 Finder[1154]: NSFileCoordinator: Sending of a providerCheckin message was interrupted. Details: Connection interrupted
Any idea what this means? -
I have a backup from Time machine of my iPhoto and I get the above error when I try to restore them. Thae backup was done with Mountain Lion and I upgraded to Mavericks. The backup is on an external drive.

I have also tried going to earlier dated backup and get the same error.
