Can't see iTunes Music Library in Aperture slideshow tool!

Hi everybody
I keep my iTunes Music Library on an external HD. Aperture Library is on a second external HD. Aperture doesn't show my playlists in the slideshow tool, therefore I can't play music to my slides.
How can I make Aperture show me the playlists?
I have the same problem with iPhoto.
Thanks for your help, Rob

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

How can I copy ITunes music to Photoshop Elements11 slideshow?

How can I copy ITunes music to Photoshop Elements11 slideshow?

Plumgirl,
Use the PowerPoint command Insert > Audio > Audio from file, and navigate to where the audio file is located.
If you don't know where the file is located, right-click the track in iTunes and choose Show in Windows Explorer.
Make sure the song you want to use is in MP3 format. If it is in something else, make an MP3 version, per this document:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format

Can't see playlist/music library

My shuffle shows up under devices on itunes, however, I cannot get it to open. Anytime I click on it, it just brings up the "Register your ipod" screen. I have already registered it. I just want to see what music is on there so that I can delete some and add new music I already uploaded to itunes.
HELP! I am very frustrated!!

Apparently, time heals all wounds.
The song is in the library now......big as life.
I wasn't high, I wasn't drunk. It wasn't there a couple of days ago.
And I looked hard!
We'll have to add this to the "life's unsolved mysteries" list.

Can't find itunes music library

I have 46 gb of music on m mac mini. recently upgraded to os10.9. cannot find my music library..

Upgrading over the old OS X should not cause data loss. You do have a backup, right...?
Besides the backup question, I have a few more.
1. Exactly what steps did you take before, during and after upgrading to Mavericks...?
2. When you go to "Finder > Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" do you see Albums...?
3. What happens in iTunes when you select File > Add to Library...?

ATV2 can't see iTunes shared library

I have spent hours reading forums and trying many different settings and am about to return my AppleTV. I have tons of movies converted for viewing on the AppleTV but I feel I have wasted to many hours of my life and am about to give up.
Here is my setup:
Dell XPS Desktop connected to router by ethernet, Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop connected via WAN - both running latest version of iTunes (10.2.1) Both running Windows 7 Professional (32 bit)
AppleTV2 (connected wireless - current firmware)
iPod Touch (3rd generation - current iOS)
Home Sharing enabled on all devices with the same user/password
D-Link DIR-655 router
McAfee Security-as-a-Service Firewall/Anti-Virus
Right now, I have been only working on my desktop PC - I figure if I get that going, I can do the same to my laptop to get it going as well...
I have opened up the recommened ports on my software firewall.
I've briefly opened the ports on my router. (closed them again as I don't want those ports open to the 'world')
I've checked that iTunes is allowed to access internet through firewall
I completely uninstalled McAfee and tried with windows firewall turned off.
I have reset my router to factory conditions with minimal user settings
I have reinstalled iTunes
I have reinstalled Bonjour service...
Can't think of anything else to try
My iPod is able to communicate with the ATV2. I can 'stream' from iPod to ATV2 no problem. However, I keep the movies on my desktop and want that to be the main media source. Also - on the 2 PC's, I haven't ever seen the other's Shared Library in iTunes. If I turn off iTunes and reload, I can briefly see my library on the ATV2 and iPod... but only for a minute or 2 and then it disappears. Does anybody see any glaring thing I have forgotten? I'm at my wit's end... please help!!!

I too have not been getting any sleep because of this. The main reason why I bought ATV2 is because everyone told me it's plug and play, always works. That is bull !!! I hope you can help me out, and that I can get some decent sleep for once, long hours troubleshooting this !!!
Turned Home Sharing On and Off many times on both ends
Hardwired both HTPC (running iTunes) & ATV2 to my router
Router is a DLINK DIR-615
Added IP for ATV2 to DMZ in router for unresticted access
Tried Home Sharing with and without DONE button pressed
Have latest iTunes 10.x
Tried enabling/disabling "Share Library on Network" under Preferences
Only 2 things left to try:
Open the recommended ports 3689 (TCP) & 5353 (UDP) in XP on my HTPC (running iTunes)
Replace my D-Lilnk router with another model
I really hope someone out there can help me out. I was hoping this would be plug&play easy
Thanks so much for your time !!!

Need to synch iphone 4 with a PC...can't see my music library

I need to synch my new iPhone 4 with a PC, since my macbook doesn;t run Leopard. I have authorized the PC, but can only see my boyfriend's library--not mine. Any suggestions?

Did you put your library on the PC?
It will not magically appear. You have to put it there.

Organizing iTunes Music Library

Does anyone know how I can get my iTunes music library in alphabetical order?

Now does anyone now how I can Organize the Music Library on my iPod in alphabetical order?
Select the playlist you sorted per above then on the playlist name, rioght click- > Copy to play order then sync the iPod.

Accessing iTunes Music Library database

I'd like to find some way -- perhaps through third-party applications, add-ons, or just simple programming languages -- that I can query the iTunes Music Library, and do things beyond what are possible within iTunes itself.
For example, I'd like to perform queries such as:
Find all records from PlaylistA that are also in PlaylistB.
Find all records in the entire database that are NOT IN Playlist C.
Find all records in the database with {qualifer 1} and {qualfier 1} and not ({qualifier 3} or {qualifier 4}).
These are all simple queries in something like SQL, but not from within iTunes. What other applications are there that can access the iTunes database in this manner (and, hopefull, with a decent GUI interface)???

I had not looked at the SDK yet -- in fact, I wasn't aware of it. I've just downloaded the iTunes COM for Windows, and will probably spend some time with it over the weekend. I was hoping, however, for more of a "finished" solution -- not that I don't mind diving into the SDK, but just based on my current lack of "free time" for this kind of thing. I do have Red Chair Software's Anapod Explorer, which contains a Web-based, SQL-like query interface called Xtreamer. However, it really only looks at things like ID3 tags, and I don't think it can access things like Playlists.
Thanks for the pointer.

ITunes musical library located on a WD 2TB, ext. drv. Computer destroyed by virus; ED survived. Bought new laptop, connected ED. Not able to see library. ED shows as 'G:' 95% full. How can I reconnect my old library to new laptop?

I had my iTunes musical library on an ext. drv. WD 2TB, ‘MY BOOK ESSENTIAL'. Three weeks ago, my computer was infected by a virus that fried it. It did not affect the external drive. I bought a new computer: a laptop, Dell XPS, Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium. I have been able to connect the WD external drive; however, I am not able to see the musical library in my iTunes or Explorer. ‘My Computer’ shows the external drive as ‘G:’ 95% full. It reads, 32.1 GB free of 1.36 TB. When I click on the drive to see its contents, it shows nothing. The library in iTunes also shows nothing. Can anyone help, please? How can I reconnect my old musical library to my new laptop and iTunes? Many thanks.

Hmm, viruses don't generally "fry" drives. They can make bootable operating systems not bootable, hide data, and corrupt executable files. Software can potentially wipe all the data from the drive but it shouldn't be able to physically damage the drive. Bah! What's done is done.
As to unhiding your files assuming they are just hidden....
Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press enter. Type the following at the prompt and then press enter:
attrib -h -s -r g:\*.* /d /s
This tells windows to clear the hidden, read-only, and system flags from all files on the drive, assuming of course your profile has the power to "see" the files and change them.
If that doesn't work then you may need to take ownership of the drive first. The drive may have security settings that make it "belong" to an account on your old system. Right-click on the drive in Windows Explorer and click Properties. Click the Security tab, the Advanced button, the Owner tab, then the Edit tab. Make yourself the owner, then you can make any other changes to the security settings you want to back on the Permissions tab. (If you can't change the owner log out and log back in as Administrator). For iTunes your account (or everyone) and SYSTEM need full access to all files. Any changes you make should be applied to "This folder, subfolders and files", should be inheritable and you should also replace the permissions on all child objects.

HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

I can see my music library but when I go to shop the itunes store it's blank

I can see my music library but when I go to itunes store it's blank what happened?

I have the same issue with the blank store. I have my music I already have but I can't buy or preview any songs that the store finds for me. That's my main issue.

I recently changed my PC and I transferred my iTunes music library to an external disc. Now, when I open iTunes I can only see the music I've downloaded, but not the rest of my music. Whatdo I need to do?

Did you transfer the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder?
Or did you only transfer /Muisic/iTunes/iTunes media? folder?

Can I Use My Music Library With itunes and ipod if it's Only Saved to an External Hard Drive?

I have very little space left on my internal hard drives. I have the same music library saved on an external drive. To get some space back, can I delete my music library from the internal drive C and just use the library on the external drive? Will it work in my itunes library and ipod? I want to download more music but I'm afraid to right now, because there is hardly any space left!

Rick,
For everything you should know about Time Machine, see http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
If your photos were on your internal drive then, yes, they are likely to have been backed up by Time Machine.
However, if Time Machine starts running out of space, it will delete old back ups and thus your photos aren't really 'safe' just on a Time Machine back up. What you really need to do is either:
Buy another external hard drive for storing your photos and other files, or;
Back up your photos to DVD's: there are a number of cataloging apps that you can use to catalog your files or, if you have named them something specific, use something like DiskTracker.
Either way, don't rely on your Time Machine back-up to store your photos.
Good luck - call back if you need more information,

How can I find tracks in itunes Music Library that I have NOT copied to my

HI,
I have more tracks in my iTunes music library than will fit on my iPod. for each track in my iTunes music libary I'd like to see whether or not that track is also on my iPod. I know I can do this track by track by looking up each track in the iPod directory but that could take months. What I want is to be able to filter or sort my iTunes music library by this attribute so I can visually scan down the list and see what I'd like to move over to the iPod (after making space on the iPod by deleting songs I'm tired of)
How can I do this and what version of iTunes is needed.
thanks -- Dan

The .xml file is basically just a playlist of your entire Library. You can create one by going to your main Library List view and click File > Export.. - then just save a new .xml file to the desktop (or wherever).
