Deleted part of library HELP!

I accidentally deleted part of my library. not sure what i was doing but I still have the files in my documents. How do i get my music back on itunes?

If you know where the files are, this is an easy fix.
Open iTunes, and if you have all your music in one folder, you can choose "File -> Add Folder to Library..." in the menu.
If all of your music is in seperate places, you'll have to seperately add inividual files using "File -> Add File to Library..." Add File to Library will only add up to four files at a time (shift-click to select multiple files).

Deleting parts of library in iphoto

I am trying to delete the section below the library that groups my photos.
It has a yellow icon that looks like a calendar and a year.
I can delete the photos but the calendar and year tab don't go away and won't delete.

sorry that did not work
The calendar and years are still there.
other things disappeared but not what I was trying to clear
The items are indented just below the library
They contain the calendar icon and the first says early photos the next below it starts with a calendar icon and a year. If i click on it I can delete all the photos for that year but not the menu under the library.I did what you said and It removed menu items below that for current year and last roll .
I wish I could send a picture of what i am talking about.
I hope I am being clear.

Deleting part of a clip in event library in imovie '11

Hi,
i'd like to delete parts of clips in the event library in imovie `11. So not in a movie/project, but in an event!
if i do it the way it worked with imovie 09 (rejecting and than "move to trash") imovie ´11 moves the whole clip to trash. even if only a part of it was marked as "rejected".
1. How should i keep my library small in terms of disk space, without deleting the parts of my clips i definitely will never ever use in a movie?
(i have lots of very big clips (e.g. from GoPro cameras) with each about 4 GB)
2. Why does the way i described above work with imovie 09, but seems not implemented in imovie ´11?
Thanks a lot for your help!

A couple of features might be of interest.
1) Select your clip. Then, in the top menu bar, select CLIP/Special Effect.../Flash and Hold Last Frame.
This will create a flashbulb effect, and then hold the last frame in the clip still. The flash effect is actually a Fade Through White transition, so you can edit it out if you don't like it.
As a hint, if the frame you want to freeze is not at the end of the clip, drag to create a selection so that there is a yellow border around a range of clips, the last frame of which you want to freeze. Then Edit/Split Clip. The frame you want to freeze is now at the end of the clip.
2) You might also want to try CLIP/INSTANT REPLAY/25%. You can highlight an action by replaying it in slow motion.

hold your finger on the part of the message you want to delete. This will give you the copy and more option. Choose more, and then you will be able to choose the message or messages you want to delete. Once selected you will be able to tap the trash can icon on the bottom of your screen.

Deletion of library, help!

While I was deleting things on my computer awhile ago to free up space I accidentally deleted the iTunes library. I posted this awhile ago and someone posted a article that explained how to get it back. I did what it said and it only brought back my purchased songs. It didn't bring back the songs that was on my computer. I had to import those but I had deleted songs out of my music folder but they were still on the library before this happened. I hope this isn't confusing. lol Anyway all of my songs are on my iPod so I've been having to add new songs manually. Is there a program that can copy the songs from my iPod back over to my computer?

Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

The solution is Simple.
- Goto preferences
- From there select the 'Devices' tab
- Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
Click OK and your problem will be solved.

How do I delete the itunes library fully?

How do i delete the itunes library fully. I want to delete the itunes library and rebuild it.
All my media is on a NAS and no matter what settings i use, Itunes wants to create a sub directroy in the main one i specifiy for media. this sub directory is called music and it then seems to randomly split music information up with not seeming method. I have removed the xml file, however, when i start itunes over it goes and does the exact same thing over. My only guess is i am missing a hidden file.

How do I keep my Itunes 10.5 from deleting my music library? E

Every time I shut down my macbook pro, and start itunes up again, my music is all gone but the files are still in the finder folder. It's a hassle to create a new itunes library and having to make my playlists all over again every time. Ever since I upgraded my computer software with the software update, I been having problems. First, the mp3 files in the finder folder have been missing the artwork. But I managed to fix that and now the mp3 files in the finder folder are back again. Now my itunes has me worried. I deleted itunes and tried downloading the software all over again, to see if that would work, but it didn't. This is the 3rd time I'm having to create my itunes library all over again. I own a ipod touch 4g and I need itunes 10.5. The touch won't work on anything older than that. As of now, I redownloaded itunes all over again. Itunes 10.5.1 is what I have now, but i'm still worried it will delete my itunes library all over again. I don't want to keep having this same problem every **** time. I want my itunes library to stay in my itunes every time i open it up. Does anybody know what i can do to prevent this please? I tried everything, and I even downloaded a antivirus for mac. And I don't have a virus on my computer. Which is a relief. Please help. I own a macbook pro. What can I do to stop itunes from deleting my library over and over again? Thanks! -Samantha

There is other options like http://supersync.com that I've tried but it is a headache.
Another option: http://lifehacker.com/5715126/how-to-sync-itunes-across-all-your-computers-with- dropbox
I prefer iTunes Match.
Good luck

My iTunes has deleted my music library- how do you fix?

I tried importing a disk into my iTunes library, and it asked me to name the file. So I did, but now my iTunes has that name displayed on the top and all my music and playlists are gone. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but it didn't fix the issue. How do I revert back so I can have access to all my songs, videos, books, etc? HELP!!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl.
Given your iTunes windows is currently showing up with the wong name you will need to hold down shift as you start iTunes, then click the option to Choose a library and navigate to the correct file. Should all be good now, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works. However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled. Help!

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
Hope this helps!

Deleted my itunes library, how to restore or redownload?

i recently deleted my itunes library by mistake. i thought i had only deleted what i wanted to delete by instead the whole library is gone. is there a way to recover it or is it gone for good? i've been trying to re download the previously purchased from itunes music by it keeps taking me to the new itunes download page which i can not download because i'm using osx 10.4.11. as long as i can get the music i had gotten from itunes, i'll be ok. other music i had on there was downloaded from cds i had. thanks for the help.

No backup is not good at all. This is very basic. Please start backing up your computer.
Here is info for redownloading purchases:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

IPhoto doesn't recognize iPhoto library - HELP!

When I opened iPhoto today, there are "no photos" in the library, and when I open it holding the option key and try to select the iPhoto library (which does exist) it says it can't recognize those files. I can't get iPhoto to be the default application for jpeg files either - it says it doesn't recognize those either. I know the photos are there in the library but iPhoto won't open them - please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Further, iPhoto is a database not an image viewer and it cannot be be set as the default application to view files.

Itunes (on Windows 7) just deleted my entire library of music, apps and playlists

I'm Running the latest version of Itunes on Windows 7. Itunes deleted every single song, playlist and app entirely for the 2nd time this month. Is there any way to easily restore the library? Without re-importing each and every song, downloading every single app, re-creating every playlist manually, re-subscribing to every podcast, etc....?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.
