Access Privileges / Reinstalling music library after reinstalling osystem

I had to reinstall my Windows XP operating system and all new software to my computer. I added the latest Itunes and attempted to copy over my old music library. Most of the songs were added - however many were not.
When I try to import or add folders - either nothing happens or I get error message that I do not have enough access privileges. Since these were CDs I burned onto my hard drive and have remained on my hard drive - I don't understand.
What do I need to do to get access privileges or other steps to add this music to my ITunes music library?

Any help?

  • How do I retrieve my music library after a complete computer crash.  I have a backup on a flash drive and I can access my Itunes account but my play lists and music are gone.

    How do you retrieve downloaded music and playlists after a complete computer crash.  I can log into my Itunes account and make purchases but my music library is gone.  I have an external backup on a flash drive but for some reason the music does not show up there either. It's like I have a brand new account and have to start all over.  Itunes must have an archive I can access to get my music back, right?

    Playlists should be part of your backup copy.
    You can redownload some purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Over half of my music disappeared from my music library after updating to itunes 10.7

    I use a Windows 7 operating system.  Since updating my iTunes to the latest version, 10.7, over half of my music has disappeared from my music library.  All 851 songs remain on my iPod, but my library shows only 187 songs after syncing my iPod with iTunes.  Also, while trying to sync my iPod to my iTunes, I'm constantly being asked to authorize my computer (it's already authorized) and an unknown email address displays in the account sign-in window to sign in when trying to sync my iPod.  I did not have these issues with iTunes before updating to the recent version. Any help is appreciated!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • How do users on the same computer access the same music library?

    We have one macbook.  The music library is under my user id.  My wife can't access the library from her user id.  Is this possible that she would be able to access the same music from her id?

    Suggestion by Turingtest for multiple users and one library - http://discussions.apple.com/message/9117622 - use smart playlists and tags to isolate groupings.

  • Can't sincronize music library after joining ItunesMatch

    Hello all! I have joined the ItunesMatch recently, and after that I had to restore my iOS on iphone. Since then I couldn't sincronize my music library on Itunes. The only alternative is download my library from iCloud, even having them in my Mac. Any help?

    Well, I used to sync my Mac library into my iphone without problems. So I have bought the Match service and a few days later I had to restore my iOs. Sinde then I couldn't sync my musics. My library is all in the cloud as normal, but I can't sync my Mac with my phone by cable anymore. The only way to have my library back into phone is by downloading from the cloud. I can sync my apps without problems, The problem is only the library sync.
    So, my library is on my Mac and in my iCloud, but I can only sync with the cloud, not the Mac.

  • Insufficient Access Privileges for SFX Library

    since updating to 8.0.1 i cannot load any of the SFX without getting an error message stating that the file hasn't got sufficient access privileges..????? why?

    Is it a project file or template you are trying to save? The Autoload song? I'm no guru or anything, but try saving it in a totally different location, specifically, within your user domain or the Macintosh HD domain--maybe one or the other will allow you to save (for example, if you are currently trying to save your song in a place within your user domain, instead make a folder in Macintosh HD for all your Logic songs, etc.) If you keep Logic songs in the Library->Application Support->Logic folder, either in the user or HD library, that folder can be temperamental anyway. Actually, the less complicated your song and audio file's locations are, you might get an edge in application performance.
    OK, finally, try running this nifty new program (it's really more like an automation script), "Maintenance 3.7" (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/maintenance.html). It may repair errors in permissions, etc.
    Maybe that stuff will work and someone wiser than I will respond to your post!
    Good luck!
    Best,

  • Can more than one user on the same computer access an itunes music library

    I want to be able to access the same itunes music library from to different user on the same computer so either one of us when we log on the computer can open up Itunes and access the same songs. Is it possible?

    Yes this is possiable using the "Share" feature in iTunes. You just have to consolidate your library and then move the "iTUnes Music" folder to your share folder. A step by step detailed instructions on how to set this up can be found here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

  • HELP! can't reload music library after having to reload itunes.

    Help! My Dell had to be serviced for 'slowness' problems. We backed up my huge song list to a external hard drive. I made the mistake of reloading itunes before I reloaded my library. Upon the first itunes download, it automatically searched my entire computer and found 3 (YES 3!)songs to go into my library (2 came free with the itunes download and one was in a documents file). When I tried to 'import' my song list, it would only import songs 1 by 1!!!!! Yikes! I have 200+ albums and hundreds of other individual songs. I can't spend 10 days re-importing each song.
    I tried removing iTunes tonight. I thought if I re-downloaded the program AFTER my music files were loaded, that it would pick them up and add them back to the music library(like it did the first download). However, no such luck. It won't recognize my song list. Please help me re-load my music files to itunes. Greatly appreciated!
    Thanks! Billy

    Chris, I tried it a different way....to actually drag the music files and folders into the itunes (program screen), not just into it's music folders. Thanks because it's working.

  • Music not showing up in my Music Library after moving to another drive

    My C: drive was full, so I moved the file to my F: drive (have done this before, but somehow it only copied it and reverted to the old location on C).
    I found multiple iTunes folders throughout my many drives and got rid of all but the ones on the F: drive. It now shows multiple folders with all my songs on F: drive. However, they do not show up in my Music Library. I've tried the preferences \advanced \general \copy music to library trick and still nothing. Don't think I lost the music since I have all these folders (1 for each artist) and it looks like a lot of bytes.
    Please help..
    Alternatively, I'd like to know how to get the whole library on my laptop and off of this old computer that ran out of space. The F: drive is detachable.
    Thank you in advance

    Do you use iTunes Match?  Others have complained that it can take some time (overnight?) for items to appear in their library because of Match activities.
    Can you play a file with Quicktime Player?  Is it complete?
    Delete an item from the library but not the actual file.  Add the file again.

  • Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

    Hi,
    For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
    However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
    Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
    Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
    thanks for any suggestions
    matt

    The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
    Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
    I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
    There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.

  • Numerious duplicates in music library after receiving Itunes update

    Since upgrading to Itunes 10.5.3.3 my music library has numerous duplicates.  I have found that I can only delete them sungularly.  Is there a way to do multiple delete's in one stroke? What caused this in the first place?

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • Do all songs have to stay in music library after updating Nano?

    Hi - everything is going along fine with putting songs into my library and updating the Nano. My issue is that I don't want 1000 songs in my hard drive. If I delete some songs out to create space, and update the Nano, will the songs that are missing from the library get deleted from the Nano?
    I've tried looking in the help menu and in the manuals, but couldn't find the answer to seems like a very simple question - so anyone who can enlighten me is much appreciated. Thanks.

    What you are describing is iTunes default setting for synching with your iPod:
    ...iTunes automatically updates iPod's music library whenever you connect iPod to your computer. iTunes transfers new songs you've added, and erases songs you've removed.
    There is an alternative, manual updating. But it's really a lot less convenient. For details, have a look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148 .
    If you choose this method, pay particular heed to the warning about backing up your music.
