Can't get  iTunes to work with new library

I've outgrown my internal hard drive (The original home of iTunes), 1.) I've "conslidated" (copied) the iTunes music files to my external hard drive, 2.) this is now the iTunes library that iTunes is referencing Result - still getting messages that original files can't be found??????????

After telling iTunes where your iTunes Music folder is in Preferences > Advanced > General, click on Consolidate Library... in the Advanced menu.

  • Can't get iTunes to work with 2 User Accounts

    I've tried to find my specific problem on previous threads but it seems that each situation is just a little different. I have two user accounts on my family shared Windows XP Home edition PC. Last week I installed my son's iPod/iTunes using the install disc. I changed the default to C:\documents and settings\user1\My Documents. Life was good. Then I got an iPod of my own. I followed the same install as above only changed the path to user2's account. I went to iTunes and everything was working just fine for user2. The next time user1 tried to access iTunes on his desktop under his Windows user account, he said it just kept searching. (Windows error message with flashlight) He decided to pop the install disc in and see what happens. (yikes!) He took all of the defaults and left both users with nothing working. Infact at that point iTunes was still on the user desktops but only pages and pages of HTML code would display if you tried to launch iTunes. I deleted all traces of itunes and iPod I could locate and went through the same reinstall process as before. I was able to locate user 2's libary and everything worked fine. (That's mine) Poor user1,(my son) we can't get anything installed to his user. The install disk recognizes only my installation and wants to remove everything first. I;ve done that a few times and still can only get user 2 working but not both.

  • Help: Can't get iTunes to work with VTBook from Village Tronic

    After installing a Village Tronic VTBook display card into my windows laptop, iTunes will no longer recognize/sync with my 5th Gen iPod. Additionally, CPU useage gets maxed out between service.exe and iPodService.exe taking 98% CPU.
    When I uninstall the VTBook drivers and roll-back the system to a restore point before the drivers installed - everything works fine between iTunes and iPod.
    I'm using v7.0.2.16 of iTunes and v1.2.1 iPod firmware. I've tried both the v2.4 and v2.3 VTBook drivers and I'm at the end of my rope and ready to return the VTBook card.
    My question is: has anyone else experienced this and/or does anyone know how to get it the iPod to work with the VTBook drivers installed?
    Thanks.

  • I can't get Itunes to work with windows 8.1

    I saved my ITunes file from my old XP computer to my external hard drive. On my new Win 8.1 computer
    I downloaded the  64 bit version of Itunes. I changed the default location of the ITune file to my D(data) drive. My C drive is solid state and I did not want to load up that drive. I then placed the ITunes files on the selected location on my D drive but nothing shows up in the library. Any help out there?

    1) In Device Manager, you could right clickSound icon selecting Update Drivers
    2) And/Or check, enter question here

  • Bought used ipo touch 5th gen but can't get it to work with my library

    hi bought used 5th gen ipod touch on ebay but it doesn't show in my library when i connect it all i get on the ipod is a message saying do you trust this computer when i prees yes nothing happens.

    Is your account listed in Settings>iCloud? If not y ohave to first delete the iCloud account from the iPod by going to the bottom of the screen. You have to enter the password for the listed ID. That is part of the Activation Lock

    Withou that or without getting the previous owner to remove the device from their account

    The iPod is not usable to you. If you can get either of the above two thnks done. restore the iPPod via iTunes and set it up with your account

  • Replaced h/d on mac {o/s is 10.6.8} can't get itunes to work

    cannot get itunes to work with new h/d on my ( i-mac 10.6.8) 2.16 ghz/intel core 2 dueo
    when i try to open it i get this "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?" when i download the app it just keeps telling me the same thing!

    Did you just download the installer or did you you actually install it?  Are you starting from the application icon the in the Applications folder or from the dock?  Have you checked there are not two version of iTunes on the computer?

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

    My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

    If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad.  BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

  • I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
    Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

  • I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

    I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

    I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

  • How can I get Lion to work with label printer- Brother  QL 570 or Dymo 450 Turbo?

    I can't get Lion to work with label printers, either Brother QL 570 or Dymo Turbo 450. I want to uninstall Lion and use Snow Leopard unless there is a way to make Lion work with these devices. Any ideas?

    Dymo has released new drivers since Lion came out. Have you downloaded and
    installed them from the Dymo website?
    Some people have said that their Dymo label printers were set to off line by Lion, but
    worked fine after going to Print & Scan, selecting the Dymo printer, and making sure
    it was active/on-line. I had to do that with my Dymo 450 Label Writer.
    I cannot offer any tips about Brother, but you may wish to check their website
    for latest drivers.
