Can not find itunes library on recent upgraded computer.

We recently had our computer upgraded. Downloaded itunes software. When opened itunes library, noticed mostly songs from windows came into library and with multipole repeats. Deleted them, hooked up IPOD nano and all my songs from it deleted. H..E..L..P.. NOw I can not find my library as it was before it go worked on.

If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library from your computer you pretty well are out of luck.

Moved My Hard Drive Now Can Not Find iTunes Library

This is my first post, so I am hoping that I can find an answer to my question.
I recently purchased via eBay a Airport Extreme as I wanted to have my hard drive away from my MacBook. Perviously the Hard Drive was connected with a USB and on that Hard Drive was all my Itunes Music, and it worked 100%. Now that I have the Apple Airport Extreme, which is up and working I can not longer assess my iTunes.
I can see it when I look at the finder, and I have changed it to look at it in the peferance menu on the iTunes, but I think I have not done everything. I have read about all the things that you can do, but they are all taking about "moving" or "backing up" the iTunes library, I have it in the right spot I can not piont the iTunes to it.
Can you please give me any advice. Please find below a screen shot of my Hard Drive, maybe I am not putting the right file up, the one that I have been picking is the one highlighted, iTunes.
Thanks in Advance.

I tried downloading iTunes to my computer. It gives me an error where it says can not find iTunes Helper. I uninstalled all iTunes, restarted my computer, and then tried again. I keep getting the same error everyime. What can I do?

Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
Many thanks. That issue will be causing the iTuneshelper error message too.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Can not find iTunes radio on iphone 5

i have installed IOS 7 on my iphone 5, i can not find itunes radio in music.. i dont know what have i done wrong while installing.
my IOS version is 7.0(11A465)

Alot of people are having the same problem with the radio, its either a bug or just like the rumours state
(anything outside US will not have this feature)
Seems to be the same as the situation with the fly over maps when they were first released. Only the US phone were compatible.
I live in Australia and we have no iTunes radio.
But......
Im hoping the rumours arnt true

ITunes will not launch "Can not find "iTunes.exe"" error

Tried opening Quicktime - same. Tried Quicktime settings from control panel - a Fatal error has occured.
that corresponds to a "standalone 1603" error message on earlier versions of the itunes and quicktime installers.
let's try this first.
here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
if that install goes through okay, reboot the PC and try another itunes install. does that go through okay this time?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Can not find a library in Aperture after upgrading to Mavericks?

I upgraded my Aperture to 3.5 on Mavericks. Since I have updated my Aperture, I cannot open my second Library "Aperture Library"
This is what it happens:
I can not find my "Aperture Library" photos, and when I try to switch between the library (File>Switch Libaries>"Aperture Library" this comes up:
When I click on relaunch:Then when I click on "Aperture Library" and press chose, a 3 second process occurs and Aperture returns back to where it was when it was opened. The "Aperture Library" doesn't appear anywhere.
When I go to Altinoz (My Mac) > Pictures > Aperture Library:
When I try to open the Aperture Library folder in My Mac > Pictures > Aperture Library
Do you want to import this library to Aperture (which was already in the old verison of Aperture)
An error comes up:
The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again.
I would really appreciate your help on helping me find "Aperture Library" Photos I have, since the upgrading to Mavericks really made annoying problems to me.

It seems to me that you need Aperture 3.2.4 to open your library.
If you have it then do the following:
Uninstall Aperture 3.5
Install Aperture 3.2.4
Start Aperture and verify that you can access your library
Update to Aperture 3.4.5
Start Aperture and verify that you can access your library
At the end update to Aperture 3.5 and upgrade your library
If you don't have the older versions, maybe try to open the library in iPhoto. Does that work?

Screen Saver can not find iTunes 8.1.1 artwork

I recently upgraded my G5 to OS X 10.5.7 and iTunes 8.1.1 from 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.6.1. iTunes 8 has made two changes that disappoint me.
#1 is my screensaver can not find my iTunes artwork. My setup is a G4 with iTunes files on an external HD and a (networked) G5 that shares that external HD for iTunes. The G5 could find the iTunes artwork for the screensaver when running 10.4 and iTunes 7 but now with 10.5 and iTunes 8 the link to the artwork is lost. But the artwork IS there for coverflow, etc. in iTunes. Have I lost my favorite screensaver?
#2 is the removal of checkboxes in iTunes DJ. I USED those (to keep songs from re-appearing)!
Tracy

Hi Tracy
Have you managed to resolve this problem?
I'm having the exact same problem with the artwork screen saver.
I upgraded from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 and at roughly the same time (same day) upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1. Shortly afterwards I noticed my screen saver no longer working and the error about "no artwork found" came up. In iTunes - all my artwork is still there for each song and album etc. Front Row also displays the artwork properly.
I've tried deleting plist files, pref files and all that but nothing works.
It may seem trivial because it's only a screen saver but it's very annoying since it was the only screen saver I liked and used.
Any help is appreciated. Regards
Marcel.

Can not find applications library on MacBook air

Trying to delete a Bento data base file. Can not find under user

Apple has hidden the user library in Lion. Hold down the option key in finder's Go menu and you will be able to select it.
If you need to access your user library frequently you might want to read MacWorld's 18 ways to view the ~/Library folder in Lion .
If you use EasyFind as softwater suggested right-click on one of the search results to show the file/folder in the finder or to move it to the trash.

Can't find iTunes library

I have been using a 2007 MacPro laptop, using OSX 10.6.4 for several years. I have my Itunes library on an external hard drive. I purchased a new MacPro laptop recently with 10.7.3. Both seem to be using Itunes 10.6. When I plug in the external hard drive Itunes doesn't see a library file, and no tunes are shown. I see the lists of files, but can't sync to a library file. I pluged in my Ipod Classic and about 1800 songs are in the new laptop Tunes media folder. But I cant get to the library where some 8000+ tunes, books, podcast's live. When I shift back to the old library no problems are noted. When I shift to the new laptop only the 1800 files it copied from from the Ipod are displayed. I seem to be able to tell it the library is external in advanced preferences, but no library can be found.
How does one get Lion to see the Itunes library on the external drive.
Thanks,
Mark

I must not being doing something correctly. I plugged my external drive into the new laptop. I went to the external drive and copied the files from the Itunes Media folder to the new laptop music (In the finder window). folder. It looked like it copied something for about 40 minutes.
On the new laptop the same partial load from my Ipod classic is still present, none of the other 7000 music files seem to be present. Not sure what got copied where but it doesnt show up on the new laptop.
When I plug my external drive into my old laptop I have access to all 8000+ tunes/podcasts/books.
Also when I then turn on my new laptop I can get access to all my files by homesharing. But I am giving the old laptop to my wife and still want to get to mt external hd library.
So the question remains how do I get all my tunes on my external drive to be seen and played by my new laptop.
Sigh....
Thanks
Mark

Remote can't find iTunes library

I am running iTunes 10.5.1 on windows xp3 with a netcomm nb9wmaxxn. I have a wired LAN as well as using the wireless.
I have remote 2.2.
I have 2 computers connected to the LAN. Neither can connect to my iPhone using home sharing, but when I try to connect the other way iTunes finds my device and asks for a passcode. This it accepts and tells me I can use it but my iPhone cannot find the library.
Despite this I know my iPhone can connect to iTunes as it updates app purchases OTA.
The other confusing issue is that my third computer is a small net book and connects to network via WAN. This computer can connect to Remote on my iPhone no problem n
I am at a loss now. I have been through as many posts as I can and have tried most suggestions relating to firewalls etc but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas anyone?

I am having the same problem with multiple routers and can't help thinking that something has either been changed universally in the firmware of all contemporary routers (except perhaps apple routers?), or Apple has screwed something up in the Remote App / iOS.
My experience:
1. 2008 vintage DLink DIR-655 router (with old firmware)... works perfectly. Unfortunately this router's internet connection has failed, so I am trying to replace it. I can only use it as a LAN router.
2. I purchase both DLink DIR-825 and a new DIR-655 (with new firmware)... with both of these routers my iPhone can wirelessly access the internet, but not the LAN. Remote doesn't work.
3. I learn that some of my other devices also have problems with LAN access. computers and laptops are ok, but my smart TV, andriod tablet, iphone don't work.
4. Using my airport express as wireless access point fixes the LAN access issue for these devices BUT remote app still doesn't work. I see the same behaviour you have described.
5. I get a new CISCO wireless modem from my ISP... the WAN and LAN seem to work, but remote app still doesn't work. Same "Can't find" behaviour after entering the 4 digit code.
I will try to call Apple tech support in the next week or so when I have time!

Apple TV does not find Itunes library (since Yosemite). Itunes finds apple tv without a problem.

Since Yosemite, my apple tv 3 (latest software) does not find my itunes library anymore (imac 27" late 2013). Vice versa, via Itunes (latest version) I can perfectly stream music and videos to my apple TV. So there is communication between the two devices, but for some reason Apple TV does not find my itunes library. Sometimes rebooting all my devices works.
any solutions for this problem?

I solved this problem in this way:
go to Preferences -- Sharing
change the name of your mac (delete ALL the existing name and choose another one)
close Preferences
restart Mac
open itunes
now check if everything works on apple tv.
