My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
Thank you!

Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

Try a reset or restart.
If the app is still missing, download again via iTunes or connect to the computer and sync it back from iTunes on the computer.
Frankly, in the time it took to sign up and post here the app could have already been re synced from iTunes on the computer.

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
- If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone
So I upgrade and uploaded/matched all my songs to iTunes Match. Everything seems to be fine, except I noticed I don't have the genius functionality on my iPhone. Basically the little atom icon is missing. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
Thanks
Chike

This is what works for me.
I do this once: I keep quite a bit of music loaded on my iPhone using the normal sync process with my Mac (via USB cable) prior to turning on iTunes Match (...let's me listen to at least some music even when disconnected from the net, like when on a plane). And then I turn iTunes Match back on (and leave it turned on) and it gives me access to the rest of my music library from iCloud when I have network access (3G or Wifi) for normal listening using my whole library over Match.
I start playing a song on my iPhone (one that doesn't have the iCloud icon)
I click the home button (physical button on iPhone that closes the Music app)
I then double click the home button (opens the task manager at the bottom)
Quit Music (press/hold on the Music icon in the tray until the little red circle with an x appears to quit the app)
Then restart Music (tap the Music icon on my iPhone home screeen)
When the Music app restarts, it opens to the last song playing. if it was one of the songs downloded to my iPhone, it has the litlle atomic symbol again and I can create a genius playlist from it.
FYI: you can enable/disable iTunes Match on the iPhone without affecting songs loaded on your iPhone (even though it says it'll replace your iPhone library, the songs are still there if you enable/disable again). Settings>>>Music>>>iTunes Match on/off.

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

Phone will turn on after ios update, itunes symbol and charger symbol keep showing up on screen

iphone 4 won't turn on after an update, itunes symbol and charging symbol keep showing up but nothing happens when you press any buttons

Try:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPho fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After updating iTunes, old library is gone

After updating iTunes, I now get a message that tells me that my Shuffle is linked to another libary, and asks me if I want to erase my Shuffle and link to the new, empty library. When I say no, neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes that the Shuffle is connected. I do not want to erase my shuffle and start over. And what about the songs I had purchased that are in the old library? I can see an iTunes 4 Music Library file, and files for the songs I purchased on iTunes, but can not open or import them. What gives?

Theron: It's not too big an issue. Windows and iTunes have gotten a tad confused as to what is in your library. The following link on How to recreate your Library will sort you out.

HT201413 I cannot access any of my music with my Windows 7 PC after I update iTunes. I keep getting the error message " The song 'ABC' could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?", for the 1800 songs that I h

My music library worked fine on my new PC until updated iTunes software. Now I cannot access any of my music anymore. What's happening here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Select a broken track and press ctrl-i to Get Info. Look on the summary tab for the location where iTunes "thinks" the file should be. Where is it really? Post back the two locations and I can suggest the best approach.

I lost my library after i updated iTunes.

Howdy,
I have been bugged to update my iPod and iTunes software for a long time every time I open iTunes or plug in my iPod. I have tried to update a few times and I couldn’t figure out how to do it. I was reluctant to update iTunes because I was afraid I would lose my library but I did want to update my iPod. So today I finally was able to update my iPod, but after I did the library on iTunes was gone. It didn’t make any sense to me how this happened but I figured as long as it is already emptied my library it would be a good time to update iTunes as well. The update went fine but I am still missing my library. This wouldn’t normally be a big problem but I had over 11,000 songs in my library and it took me months to look through them all and make play lists of my favorite songs and to just select the songs I want on the iPod because it can only fit 7,000 songs. Now I don’t know how I am going to update the songs on my iPod because I would want to add songs to already existing playlists. I tried to restore it how you have told other people by looking in the Previous iTune Libraries but I couldn’t find that folder. I don’t know if it is suppose to be in the iTunes folder that had the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library files, because if it is I couldn’t find it. I am hoping that perhaps it is in a different location or there could be another way to restore my library. Thanks for your time.

Hi, heyjer.
I attempted to load the previous library file, but got a message that is was not a "valid exported file."
