Automatic Update wiped my library

Two weeks ago, the day before due to fly to UK I accepted an automatic update. Later that day I went into itunes to play music and found my entire library wiped clean, empty! Searched my hardrive for missing files but could find none. Then tried looking in windows media player and found about 20 tracks. Talk about stressed! thats over 900 tracks gone AWOL including those purchased from itunes store. When I go into itunes now, no purchases listed. I do not have the time to spend hours and hours to find solution. Can anybody HELP!

The library in iTunes may be empty but installing update does not delete the media files. Add the files to your library again.

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
Thanks.

One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

Automatically update iTunes library

Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I have all my nedia on an external hard drive called Neals Media. When I burn cd's all my tracks go into this folder (along with videos).
What I am wondering is, is there any way of iTunes adding any tracks that I drop into Neals Media automatically into the iTunes library without me having to drag them over manually?
I tried using a script but it did not work. I really miss my watch folders from Media Player.
I have a macbook which I use for music which is streamed to an Airport Express.
Thanks

iTunes doesn't support folder watching at present. I've seen a few scripts mentioned in different posts so you might be able to track one down that works for you. Folder watching comes up frequently in the forum, if it's something you'd like to see added to a future version you can leave feedback/feature requests at this link: Apple Product Feedback

Automatic Updates to Library

I upgraded my version on iTunes and now when I connect my iPod, it automatically checks for new music and updates the iPod. This was a preference setting on the last version, how do I make this version not automatically update new music to my iPod?

Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

Office 365 x64 Click-to-Run Not Automatically Updating from Network Share

We are piloting Office 365 x64 and pointing the clients to a network share (see config file below) for updates. When we subsequently download the updates to the share the clients will not automatically install them. If we manually do so from
within an app (File > Account > Update Options > Update Now) it works fine. The ACL and Sharing permissions allow Everyone and Domain Computers read-only access (in addition to some other ancillary accounts). I've tried manually running
the Office Automatic Updates from Task Scheduler and left the box running overnight. I've rebooted, logged back on, closed and opened the app several times. Nothing happens, just always sits at the current version.
Anyone have any ideas?
      Thanks,
         Bryan
Here's the UpdateURL registry key:

Hi,
I replied in the other thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/e9e6be40-fb92-4734-9f94-9dee5599b1d8/office-365-pro-plus-2013-update-wont-apply-automatically?forum=officeitpro#c156ed8c-f65c-450c-9e0f-85f0de513c20
It seems when the install finished it added an extra Office\Data to the path. My path should be \\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\15.0.4551.1005
but it shows
\\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\Office\Data15.0.4551.1005
If I edit the path and delete the extra Office\Data Office 365 ProPlus updates from my network location. I cannot figure out why it is adding the extra Office\Data to the path.
My config file looks like this:
  <Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data" />
have you tried omitting the \Office\Data element, from the Updates element ?

ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
Thanks!!

I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
They are completely different libraries.
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

Turning off automatic update

I've just had to reinstall the operating system on my Mac and lost my itunes library. When I plug my ipod in it automatically starts to update the library which will wipe out the contents of my ipod. I've seen in a few places that if I hold down the apple and alt keys while I plug in the ipod then it stops the automatic update. This doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know of another way to stop the auto update?

I am wondering wheter there are more hints in the dialog boxes in such dangerous situations.
I had checked manually updating, though connected to my second iMac, and it asked me whether I want to connect to this »strange« machine, I clicked yes, and the songs where away, lost.
Today I read, that music labels wants more money from musicstore, and I am sure there are hard confrontations. Though the matter that I may not poss two or more Computers to store songs in iTunes ? ??????? is strange. Sure, every thing has its reason.
Are songs anyhow to been restored?

"are you sure?" message scares me but think I need automatic update.

Hello forum Im new here and about 10 of my questions have been answered by searching. However I have not found an answer to this one:
I paid for a music video from itunes, but I cant click and drag to my ipod. I saw another question like this and someone said turn on automatic updates. However, I spent alot of time putting music into my ipod manually and stuff. And when I click on automatic it says that it is going to REPLACE CURRENT CONTENT WITH STUFF IN LIBRARY. WHile that "might" help my one video to get on the iPod I think it might undo my work at getting my music how it is.
So are we saying the only way to get videos you paid for within itunes to the iPod is by enabling automatic updates? Cause right now I go to preferences and all the video selections are greyed out. What the heck?
thanks if you know

And when I click on automatic it says that it is going to REPLACE CURRENT CONTENT WITH STUFF IN LIBRARY. WHile that "might" help my one video to get on the iPod I think it might undo my work at getting my music how it is.
This simply means everything on the iPod willbe deleted and replaced with what is in your current iTunes library.
Since it is your library and your iPod, nothing is going to be replaced as everything is already in your library and in your iTunes.
This message pops up when you have it set to Manual update and change it back to Auto or when you connect it to a new computer for the first time.
Again, since you already have the songs/videos on your iPod and in iTunes, not much will be different.

ITunes automatically putting songs in library

Hello
I just got a new laptop and my itunes on it is automatically adding files from certain folders into itunes. I don't want it to do this. I want to manually add all the songs to my itunes library. I'm looked through all the preferences and can't find where I can change this option. I am using iTunes with windows by the way.
Also, I recall being able to delete a song from my hard drive within iTunes and it doesn't do that anymore either, can someone please also tell me where I might turn this option on? Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Well perhaps I am being a bit dense here, but using iTunes 6.1 I thought that you would do the following:
Open iPod Options, select the 'Music' tab, make sure the two top options "Automatically Update..." are left unchecked
Then select the "Manually Manage Songs and Playlists"
You can also if you wish use the option below that:
"Only Update Checked Songs".
This is how I do it with my copy of iTunes and have no problems with it.
Hope this helps, but as I say perhaps I am being a bit thick and misunderstand what you wish to do.

Afraid automatic update will delete Ipod songs

My old computer crashed permanently. I got a new one and now want to transfer the songs remaining on my Ipod onto the new computer. The problem is that I am afraid when I connect the Ipod, the automatic update will delete all the songs off it (since the new library is currently blank). And I can't turn off automatic update without plugging in the Ipod, since that icon in the bottom right of Itunes won't appear unless it is plugged in.
It's a tricky situation because if I get it wrong once, everything is gone. Any suggestions?

Welcome, Paulli, to the Apple Discussions!
I'll answer your question in just a minute but first I've got to say that I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Itunes won't automatically update

Just recently my computer deleted all my itunes songs, so I bought the program iTunes Jack to take all the songs from my ipod and put them back on itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod it tells me my ipod is synced with another library. when I ask it to sync with itunes, it only adds on photos and not songs. how do I get it to automatically update itself like it used to before my songs got deleted? thank you

When you look at the iPod summary page in iTunes, is "Manually manage music and videos" checked? If yes, uncheck it and try again.
If that's not the issue and you're sure that you have copied everything off of the iPod, I would restore the iPod. Please understand that this will delete everything off of the iPod and restore it to it's factory defaults.

Configuring Automatic Updates using Powershell for Server 2012: wsuaserv service invalid

This server is configured as a core server (no gui).
In the following article, to enable automatic updates, one method is to configure the wsuaserv service:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574100.aspx
Doing the first step, I get the following:
c:\windows>net stop wsuaserv
The service name is invalid.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
Why do I get this and how can I fix it?
Thanks

Uh, he meant the command at the bottom on the referenced web page, not the net helpmsg.
If you look at the original post, the name of the service IS incorrect, just as you specified it incorrectly. The service name is 'wuauserv'. So it is not Microsoft has renamed the service; you have tried to rename the service. <wink>

Automatically update Data Flow when table column is added

Hi, I have identical SQL Server databases on Server A and Server B, and I'm trying to create an SSIS package that will update its own Data Flow task when I've added a new column.
When I open the SSIS package up in Data Tools after adding the column, I get the following warning: 'The external columns for OLE DB Destination are out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "TestColumn" needs to be added to
the external columns.' So the package know when it's out of sync with the db.
Is there a way to automatically update the external columns?
Thank you!

There is a Dynamic DTS task commercial product of CozyRock
Another possibility is to generate an updated version of the package programmatically either with BIML http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3124/generate-multiple-ssis-packages-using-biml-and-metadata/
or via .net code http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms345167.aspx

Suppress "Warning: Automatic update is not enabled..." when installing Windows role or feature with Powershell

I've written a powershell script to prep server for SCCM 2012 and the only annoyting thing I can't seem to get rid of is the yellow warning message that appears as a result of installing new Windows roles/features. The specific message is: "Warning:
Automatic updating is not enabled. To ensure that your newly-installed role or feature is automatically updated, turn on Windows Update."
Is there an "undocumented" silent switch that I can append to the "Install-WindowsFeature" command-let that suppresses this?
Thanks for any guidance anyone has found for this.

Hi,
I'm not completely sure about this, but you could try setting the $WarningPreference variable to SilentlyContinue.
