Access to old iTune library following R6034 error

Following R6034 error I have uninstalled original Itunes and reinstalled new iTunes but cannot access or transfer my music library back to iTunes. Any suggestions please?

Hi wobblybunny,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not see your iTunes library after reinstalling the software, I recommend re-creating the library using the steps in this article:

  • My iPod Classic was stolen.  What to expect trying to access my "old" iTunes library?

    My iPod Classic 160GB was stolen this week.  Got it for Xmas last year and had only started using it in the last few months.  It was loaded with 150+ GB of music.  I got a good deal today on a replacement 160GB Classic (7th gen) from Craigslist.  I'm charging it now but I'm wondering what problems I'm going to encounter trying to get my 150+GB of music onto this "new to me" iPod Classic.  It would be nice if I could simply sync the library to the iPod but I'm afraid it can't be that simple.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    I logged into Apple earlier trying to get the serial # off my stolen iPod Classic and noticed that I didn't see it registered with my iPhone and my other 2 iPod Nanos.  I was 99% sure I had registered it.  Is this in anyway a problem?  Could it have been re-registered by the person who stole it?  Actually, that would be nice because I still have the box with the serial #.  But just wondering what registering provides and how my Classic isn't there.
    One other thing, can I simply register this "new to me" iPod Classic with Apple?
    Thanks!

    If the media is in the library then yes it is that simple. Connect the device, load it up with your media. The problem is when you try to connect a full device to a new empty library on a new computer when iTunes will offer to replace the content on the device with that in the local library, i.e. nothing! (For anyone in that position see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device).
    You should be able to add your devices at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ though I'm not sure what happens if the second hand iPod was previously registered.

  • I had set up and Itunes account years ago....older Ipod.......old PC died....trying to access my old music library from my new PC after downloading software.   How do I find and access my library.  I can sink my music from my Ipod to the new PC and softwa

    I am an older novice user. I gave my Itouch to my duaghter....and took her Ipod Classic 64.....have used and played the songs but not updated in a couple years. The laptop I set the account up from died and I downlowded the new 10.6 software onto this PC. /When i signed in to my account I cannot seem to find a place to find my old library.  I had more music and movies on the library than on the Ipod classic....was hoping to find it all before i sync up again.
    Any tips on how to find or access the old library or did I lose it with the old laptop?  LOL...a confused oldie....would like tomove music to my Iphone once all is found and resumed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight or suggetions.

    The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    My computer crashed and the hard drive is no longer.  I have purchased a new laptop but now have no access to my old itunes library.  My laptop has created a new itunes account with NOTHING in it?? My Itouch has everything loaded but it wont sync with this itunes account....HELP

    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Upgraded C:drive and can't access old iTunes library

    A couple of months ago I upgraded my C:drive. It took me a couple of days to do so. Well within that time period I lost my iTouch (4th gen.) I finally got a new iTouch. Here's my problem, when I re-established my iTunes account, it recognized my old iTouch serial number, so why can't I access my old library? I still have the old C:drive if that is relevant. So how do I retrieve my old iTunes library?

    You don't say how you are accessing your old drive, but presumably you have it installed in your PC or you have put it in a usb drive enclosure.
    Assuming that you have installed iTunes on the new system drive and you haven't added music yet, what you need to do is to drag the new iTunes folder out of Music onto your desk top. Then copy the iTunes folder from Music on the old drive into Music on the new drive so that it replaces the one you dragged out.
    You might need to check the permissions on the iTunes fodler to ensure your account and SYSTEM have full control.
    This method assumes you had a default installation of iTunes on the old drive, that is to say all your music files were in the iTunes Media folder. If you had something different, things are more complicated.

  • How can I access my old iTunes account?

    I had an iTunes account on my old windows computer.  I now have an iPad and want to access my old iTunes account.  How do I do this?

    You don't need an AppleID to access an iTunes library. An iTunes library is stored on your computer.
    Default location is /Music/iTunes/ folder.

  • Moved library to external HD, iTunes still uses old iTunes Library.itl file

    Howdy-
    I'm running Windows 7 & iTunes XXX
    I moved my library from my laptop internal hard drive (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes) to my external hard drive (G:\iTunes).
    I followed the recommended procedure:
    1 - Edit/Preferences: check "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized"
    2 - Edit/Prefrences: click "Change" & input "G:\iTunes" into box to denote new library location
    3 - File/Library/Organize Library & check "Consolidate Files"
    Now, I've found that iTunes still uses the old "iTunes Library.itl" file in the old location (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes).  For the sake of convenience (and to make the library entirely self-contained on the external HD & to protect it from possible laptop loss/failure), it would be swell if I could migrate that file over to my external hard drive also.  But, if I remove the "iTunes Library.itl" file from the old location & copy it to the new iTunes directory, iTunes just doesn't seem to be able to figure out that there's a nice "iTunes Library.itl" file on my external hard drive that it can use.
    Is there any way to achieve what I want?
    Thank you,
    -Jason

    I assume you have your iTunes folder located on your other drive (no Music folder enclosing it.) On your startup volume you have a /Home/Music/ folder but the iTunes folder has been removed. OK, so far?
    Go to where the real iTunes folder is located. Select the folder then CTRL or RIGHT-click and select Make alias from the contextual menu. You should see a new icon appear named "iTunes alias" with a little curly arrow in the lower left corner of the icon. Now, copy the alias file to the /Home/Library/Music/ folder on your startup volume. Rename it to just "iTunes" (no quotes.) Delete the alias you created on the other drive.
    Now when you double-click on the iTunes alias in your /Home/Music/ folder your real iTunes folder should open up. Now if you open iTunes application it should re-discover the iTunes folder.
    Or you can do what the other posted suggested. Simply point iTunes to the new location of your iTunes folder. Open iTunes Preferences, click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. Click on the Change button, locate the new library location, click on OK button of the Open dialog.

  • I created a new library (shift-open itunes) but now I cannot get my old itune library to open.  Help please

    I created a new itunes library on my PC by following the proper procedure.  (shift - open itunes-create library).  But now i cannot find my old itunes library, so that I can open it.   I know my music has not been lost but I cannot acces it.  When I open itunes by holding down the shift, it does not show any designation for my old libray.  help please.

    The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device.  Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up.  It keeps syncing to the old library...

  • Viewing old itunes library via external hard drive

    'ello,
    I have an external hard drive that I had linked up to my old  iMac, which has now died. I bought a new Macbook pro and want to plug in my old external into my wireless router and pick up my old itunes library. I have plugged in the external hard drive into the USB port on the router. If I look in Finder I can see the o2 router and I have tried to set Internet sharing to ON, but can't do it? I am not even sure that switching on Internet sharing will resolve the issue? Any help on this would be massive.
    Thank you.

    Hi Phil,
    Why not just plug it directly into the computer over USB rather than going through the router? I'm also not sure what enabling Internet sharing would have to do with your ability to access the hard drive via the router. If anything there would be a setting on the router that you'd most likely need to enable to allow the USB content to be accessible as a network storage device.

  • Can I re-load my old iTunes library even after editing a new library?

    Hey everyone,
         So I moved all my music onto an external hard drive. After I did that I opened iTunes and it was blank. In order to put all my music back in iTunes I just clicked "add folder" then selected my entire music folder. After all 90gb loaded I checked and I realized that I had many errors in my music folder such as duplicated songs. I had fixed all these problems in my previous iTunes library (before I moved my music onto my new HDD). Is there a way I can add my old iTunes library to iTunes so it is all the same as it was before the folder moved? The only help I have found says not to edit your new library before loading the old one, which I didn't know to do. These are the only directions I have been able to find on the topic. Anyone with any idea how to solve this other than going through my entire library and deleting what I don't want please help!
    Thank you!

    I browsed around here and I found that if I hold shift while opening iTunes and it asks what library to load so my real question then is where is my "old" library that I want to load? The only library I can find is my current one.

  • I cannot download my old itunes library to my new ipod - please help!!!!

    Unfortunately in August 2006 someone nicked my Ipod mini - thanks! So my insurance co. replaced it with an ipod nano. I've installed the new software disk that came with my ipod nano and hooked up with the old itunes library to my new ipod nano. Simple huh? Not likely. It says I have too many tunes in my itunes library to download to my new ipod. However the mini and nano are both the same size -4G so why now is it telling my I have too many songs to download to my ipod nano? I have even deselected some from the library but no luck. My old ipod mini was not full to capacity anyway? any ideas?
    It could be that my current pc is not logged to the internet - AOL fault currently being sorted but surely that should not stop me updating my ipod? The tunes are in the library the new 4g ipod (allbeit a nano and not a mini as was) is connected yet the **** thing says I have too many tunes selcted to download WHEN I KNOW I DONT! Help......... please does anyone have a clue where i'm going wrong its driving my nuts!

    Why not?  What happens when  you try?
    Is the content selected to sync?

  • How to delete multiple old ITUNES LIBRARY files safely ?

    I'd like to clean up my Itunes LIBRARY files, but don't know what's safe to do and not to do. (I have Itunes 8.1 / OSX10.4.11)
    MY QUESTION IS TWOFOLD :
    (1) how do I create a new Itunes library file now with today's date; and
    (2) how do I delete multiple (old) Itunes library files, without risking the loss of what I've got ?
    This all stems from exploring Itunes as a result of a problem I had today... when trying to import mp3's from my terrabyte drive, after about 150 successful mp3 track imports, Itunes froze and everything else on my MAC froze as well (constant spinning colored wheel). After many failed attempts to force quit Itunes, I turned off my MBPro. On restarting, Itunes tooks ages to "import" files. Eventually Itunes opened but with only half of my original tunes (1500+ songs 8.11GB) and had nothing from today's import.
    I found a post suggesting to hold down OPTION while starting Itunes. Then I selected a file from my hard drive > me > music > Itunes > "Itune library" with the most recent date and shezam, Itunes once again has all my songs, as before. Nothing I imported from the terrabyte drive today appears however, but no matter.
    In my "Itunes" file there appear MULTIPLE Itunes libraries ! such as Itunes library, Itunes Library (damaged), and as well a folder called "Previous Itunes Libraries" which itself contains multiple Itunes Library files and multiple "previous Itunes Library files" with dates back to 2007. These I want to clean up and delete .... should I ? ... Can I ?
    I really could use some words of wisdom from the wise ! Thanks in advance

    Whenever you install a new version of iTunes and run it teh first time, iTunes will create a backup of the current iTunes library file and copy it into \Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes libraries, then update the iTunes library file in \Music\iTunes\ for the current version of iTunes.
