Exported Libraryto Ext Drive, Upgraded to iTunes10 now can't access library

Friends,
Your advice would greatly be appreciated on the following challenge:
* I successfully migrated my iTunes library to my external drive because i had no space on my hard drive
* I was using successfully.
* I had issues upgrading my iphone4 and was forced to upgrade to iTunes10 and factory reset the phone. (good news is that phone works fine, but its music was wiped out)
* Now when I log onto iTunes I cannot access my library on the external drive.
* I have redirected iTunes to look at the external drive for the library, but it still can't read the library.
All knowing forum users -- any ideas? I have to give back my computer in 2 weeks so I am fairly desperate to get this sorted.
Thanks in advance!
-Shaun

All....in looking @ other posts I reinstalled the most recent version of itunes and then did file>library>then chose the library on the external drive. Works great.

  • Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. OS 10.6.8

    Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. Same message again. OS is 10.6.8.

    Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
    I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
    I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
    Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason.

  • Downloaded 10.7 now can't access AppleWorks: "You can't open the application AppleWorks 6 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

    Yvan has got AppleWorks working under emulation:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15918064#15918064
    As to iWork:
    Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store).
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
    To use other programs, or open Painting or Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first. Nothing will import AppleWorks databases: the only way to deal with them is to export them to ASCII text (of course you need AW running to be able to do this) and open them in a database program - the best choices are Bento for very simple databases or FileMaker Pro - please see these pages:

  • How Can I Access Library Data on External Drive ?

    i bought an ssd upgrade kit and had an apple tech install the ssd
    i formatted and did a clean usb install of mavericks
    i then put the standard 5400 drive from the mini into an external usb case
    it all works great
    but i cannot access the library files on the external drive
    obviously if i hold option and go to "go" in the menubar, it takes me to the library on the new drive
    how can i access library files (i need to get at the application support files for 1password) on an external usb drive ?
    thanks

    Open the folder containing the library, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu, and provide either Library/ or Library/Application Support/ as the path.

    In iTunes prefs>Store - is the Store check box unchecked?

    If the drive can be accessed in local lan, then it can be accessed from internet assuming you have setup using one of the remote access methods.

  • Since upgrade ios  and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad

    Since upgrade ios and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad. I see 'share', when using music app on iPad. I click on it and then select my MacBook Pro. Circle starts goes half way the stops. My Apple TV works great. So iTunes on MacBook must be set up right.  Videos app is similar, the circle just spins and spins. My wifi is an apple airport. I beginning to think I have invested badly. I have signed out and in  again of home share on iPad and MacBook  as advised. I have read and re-read. Is there a solution?

    Hello Gary,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing.  It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPad using Home Sharing.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • I have changed my email address so I changed my Apple ID and password.  Just realised haven't changed icloud details and now can't access as don't know password or security questions.  Want to delete and set up on new Apple ID.

    I I have changed my email address so I changed my Apple ID and password.  Just realised haven't changed icloud details and now can't access as don't know password or security questions.  Want to delete and set up on new Apple ID.  Help please???

    In order to change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Adobe put CS6 Extended on computer as trial  now can't access regular cs6

    Adobe messenger had an update.  when I updated it turned out to be a trial version of PS CS6 Extended rather than my original Photoshop CS6.  Now trial is over and I can not access my original photoshop CS6 program.  Only option is to purchase the Extended version on line on the Cloud.

    I have re-entered the serial number for my original CS6 and it is back working again.  Thank you all for your quick responses.  I was afraid I was up the creek with no water running.. (:  All is good now.. Ed

  • I have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all.  can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

    i have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all.  can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account name>Delete Account. A window will popu after you select your email account in the settings and there is a large red Delete Button at the bottom of the window.
    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add account. Tap on Add account and start entering your email account details again. If your email account doesn't fit one the per installed accounts in there, tap on Other - and add your account in there.
    I would restart the iPad after you delete the email account, just to be starting "fresh" again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button
