Can't see or find any of my music

Just booted my computer and can log on to my itunes account, but there is nothing there...recently synced with my iphone, and most of the music is there (but not what was purchased in the past from itunes store)...in any case, not seeing any music..advice?

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

  • I recently got i cloud but now i can't see or access any of my music! where has it gone and how do i get it back?

    How do I acess the music in my itunes library? Since installing icloud I can't see any of my music or access it and it's really stressing me out! Help!

    Sounds that you previously had the about:newtab page when you opened Firefox and this now has changed to a Facebook page.
    You can check the startup setting:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts"
    *"Show my home page"
    You will have to set the home page to about:newtab to gt the page with recently visited websites.

  • I recently purchased itunes match, working okay.  But when I sync my phone, I can't see or manipulate any of the music I had already downloaded on the phone.  Now I am over capacity in my 4s and I can't figure out how to delete any of my downloaded music.

    see above

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • When I try to upload the lates version of iTunes, it tells me to enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi. What does this mean as I can't seem to find any such folder and now I cannot uninstall Itunes either

    when I try to upload the latest version of iTunes, it tells me to enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi. What does this mean as I can't seem to find any such folder and now I cannot uninstall Itunes either

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • ITunes can't find any of my music

    I've been using iTunes for a long time now. I keep all my music on an external (portable) drive with the exception of podcasts or downloaded music from the store. All of a sudden iTunes can't find any of my music. Everytime I click on a song to play that is stored on that drive I get the "!" mark and a box that says itunes couldn't find the song, do I want to search for it. I really don't want to have to do that to all 3k songs. My drive is fine, the songs are there. Could my library file have been currupted? This every happen to anyone else?

    Do what Katrina says and that will most likely fix it.
    Usually, when this happens, it's because a new device has been added via USB, like even a thumb drive.
    When windows boots up, it assigns drive letters to the external devices. If it does it out of order from what it used to do, that effectively changes the location of your music files.
    So if you've added anything to your computer via a different USB port, try taking that out. Of course you'd have to reboot after that.
    But the permanent solution is what Katrina says, but you might need more detailed instructions on how to achieve what she says.
    Look at the XML file to see what the drive is supposed to be. Open My Computer and match it with what your external harddrive is. If they don't match, there's your answer.
    Once you fix that, your exclamation marks will disappear; you don't have to re-import or anything silly like that.

  • Hi, my iPad 2 startd tapping on its own. it keeps repeating the tap on the same spot. i can't seem to find any remedy for it except to switch off and on it again, and even that is a temporary fix. any ideas please?

    hi, my iPad 2 startd tapping on its own. it keeps repeating the tap on the same spot. i can't seem to find any remedy for it except to switch off and on it again, and even that is a temporary fix. any ideas please?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I can't seem to find any books to purchase on Adobe Media Server 5 or even tutorials.

    I can't seem to find any books to purchase on Adobe Media Server 5 or even tutorials, is there a reason for this? Is AMS gone by the wayside?

    I can't find my photos that I've just downloaded.
    Look in Last Import
      I can't find my photo information (i.e. shutter speed, aperture, etc).
    Click on the circled "i" in edit mode
    There is no histogram.  I can only find about 3 sliders to adjust color, tint, etc.
    In edit mode click on "adjust" then "add" and check the options you want to see
    The crop function is difficult to use.
    Ok - that is a personal opinion - I like it better
    I cannot geotag my photos any longer.
    That is correct - hopefully it will be added with an update - for now you have to do it prior to Import - HoudahGeo hopes to be able to do it directly to the Photos library later also and is a good solution for Geotagging
    Right now, I feel like I'm being forced to use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to get the tools I need to edit my photos.
    Forced? Someone is there with a gun? You are not being Forced to do anything - you can do what ever you want including continue to use iPhoto - or even post invalid winning complains instead of acting to resolve your concerns - your choice - do what you want

  • I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

    Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
    Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

  • ITunes suddenly cannot find any of my music (but I see it!!)

    So all of my music (the entire library, including the library and xml files) are sitting on an external USB 2.0 drive, in this location:
    e:/ITUNES/library
    the xml and itl file is sitting at e:/ITUNES/
    In advanced itunes preferences, my itunes library is set to stay organized, copy new music when opened in itunes, and the music folder is set to e:/ITUNES/library
    All of the sudden, itunes can't find any of my music. I've tried to restart, no luck. I took a look in the XML file, and it is pointing at the G:/ drive instead of E for some reason (I don't even have a G drive!). I did a replace all with programmer's notepad (G:/ to E:/), but no luck. And when I re-open the xml file the next time, it's all back to G again....
    any ideas??
    Thanks

    Your music will only be where you put it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.  Have you failed to do this?
    If for some reason you have failed to back up, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

    How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
    I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

    In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

  • Can't see or play any videos on websites!

    Hello,
    All of a sudden, I've lost the ability to see or play any videos. On youtube, I can't see or watch any videos. On websites like Scifi.com, I can't see any videos, visit the forum or see of their flash-enabled content. I know that I have Adobe flash installed, but I don't know what else to check for. Please offer any suggestions. Thanks.

    Ditto here.
    No video content is viewable on my iMac G5. This started happening after startup.
    But I can view video content just fine on our other iMac G5, and on a G4 powerbook, both under Safari 3 & MacOS 10.5.6.
    I have reset Safari, run Cocktail maintenance tasks, repaired permissions, etc. all with no change.
