After installing Mavericks iTunes 11.1.3 does not find my recent iTunes Library. Where did my current library go?

After installing Mavericks iTunes 11.1.3 does not find my recent iTunes Library. Where did my current library go? The new iTunes opens a 2009 library on start up. My most recent library is ignored even when I go to it directly and start iTunes with it. In another thread someone suggested repairing permissions, I did that and it did not help. I ripped my entire CD collection over the summer (1000's of songs) and now they just don't exist...or I can't find them. They were there before I upgraded to Mavericks the other day. Now vanished. I have found no other issues with Mavericks (yet). Played the music last week; upgraded, now can't find my complete current library. If anyone has a clue as to what might be causing this I sure would like know. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi, sorry to hear you had this problem. Sometimes after updating iTunes the library appears blank because a new library (.itl) file has been created. Anyone else experiencing this issue may be able to resolve by following the steps outlined in TS1967. There is ofter a 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder in the iTunes folder, by quitting iTunes entirely and replacing the currently named iTunes Library.itl file with the library file named by date in the Previous Libraries folder (should look something like 'iTunes Library 2011-08-03') and renaming to 'iTunes library.itl' and relaunching you should find the library looks the same as it did before updating (metadata intact).

    Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test:  Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker.  Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
    Did you attempt to repair MS Office?  Test:  Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
    Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker?  Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker.  See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

    my kids enter wronge passwords several times until the ipad says"connect to iTune" but the ipad does not appear on the iTune.I know the correct password.

    You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
    PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

    my new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes.  I am on a Windows system

    Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded?  If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized.  With iTunes open, click on Store at the top.  Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them.  Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

  • I have just installed mavericks OS.My epson printer does not want to work with it .What can i do?

    I HAVE JUST INSTALLED MAVERICKS OS.IT APPEARS IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY PRINTER WHICH IS AN EPSON WORKFORCE PRO WP-5630 SERIES 2.What can i do about this problem?

    Hello Baldy7,
    It sounds like after updating to Mac OS X 10.9 your printer is no longer working with the computer. U want to recommend these steps from the article named:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Additional Information
    Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB.  For more details, see this article.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • After installing mavericks a number of apps are not supported in Mac and iphone/ipad

    after having istalled mavericks several apps do not function on te iMac /iPhone/iPad
    such as C Cleaner on the Mac and several apps on the phone/ ipad do not syncronise the updates anymore.

      is by the way available in app store as crapware?
    Sorry, again I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Language barrier. Your English is certainly better than my proficiency in your language.
    If you are asking, "Is crapware like C Cleaner available in the app store?" , or, "if software is available in the App Store, does that guarantee that it is good?",  I don't know. I can't speak for Apple's decision making process in what does or does not go into the App Store. Dishonest developers (and crapware developers are, by definition, dishonest), can certainly inflate their own ratings. So I wouldn't go by the ratings.
    A comprehensive discussion of Mac maintenance is perhaps best left for another day.
    But my opinion is this:
    OSX is very, very well written software, and has powerful and effective troubleshooting and maintenance software already built in.
    There are very few circumstances in which one might need any third-party software to diagnose or treat a software problem with a Mac. Especially if you avoid putting crapware into your computer in the first place.
    Any third party software that says it will clean, defragment, optimize, or speed up your mac is probably crapware, and will harm your computer. People install these apps before they have any basic knowledge of the maintenance software that is already built in to their Macs.

  • After installing Firefox 8, my Roboform programme does not work. It worked in Firefox 7. What's happened?

    I have used Roboform for many years and it was always compatible until I think Firefox 6 when it was disabled. Since then Roboform have created a new app called RoboEverywhere which they said would work on Firefox and after installing the app, to my delight, the toolbar appeared. However, I installed Firefox 8.1 this morning and there is no Roboform toolbar. Why, after working in Firefox 7, would it not be working in 8.1?
    Thank you for any help and tips you may have.
    Lynne C

    Roboform was causing Firefox 8 to crash on startup. You will have to download and install the latest version of Roboform (7.6.2 or newer) from http://www.roboform.com/download

  • ICal problem. After installing 10.5.3, iCal search does not locate anything

    After installing 10.5.3, when I search for something in iCal's search field, nothing appears.
    When I search for an item that I can clearly see is in the calendar, or to-do list, nothing appears in the search window at the bottom of the screen.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    4miler,
    Quit iCal, open System Preferences>Spotlight>Privacy, and add your Macintosh HD to the list. Wait a couple of minutes, and then remove your Macintosh HD from the Privacy list. You should notice (after a short delay) that Spotlight is reindexing your HD. After Spotlight completes the index, open iCal and see if your search works.

  • ITunes recognizes iPod, Desktop does not, Finder does not

    My iPod does not show up on the desktop. In Finder, I have no iPod showing. I went through the Five Rs, looked at the Apple troubleshooting sheet, changed USB ports, nada. Plays fine out of the dock, in my truck, etc. I am a newbie to all things Apple from the computer side, so bear with me id I left anything out.
    Thanks.

    Unless you "Enable Disk Mode" or use Manual updating, the iPod won't show up in the Finder on the desk top. Only in iTunes.

  • After installing mountain lion the airplay icon does not appear

    Do I need to perform additional installations or set preferences to have it shown in the top menu bar?

    Your model iMac doesn't support Airplay mirroring.  Airplay in iTunes should be available.
