For the second time in a few weeks, I have opened Itunes to find nothing

Apparently new versions if Itunes cause my intunes app to forget everything.
This is the second time I have opened my itunes to find NO MUSIC.
Last time I "reloaded" which had the result of doubling songs on playlists, and interjecting things I never had before, and even giving some wrong names, etc.
If this is what my XP is going to do with Itunes, I guess I will need to find a different music player

I wish that iTunes was more resilient to whatever is going on, but having now seen plenty of reports where the library has remained stable after removing AVG I must assume that it was the prime factor in those cases. My belief is that a recent change in AVGs scanning engine causes it to hang on to the temporary files that iTunes needs to make in a way that disrupts iTunes and leaves iTunes with a missing library. With iTunes in the normal location of <User's Music>\iTunes it then creates a new blank library as if just installed.
If you've not been able to use my instructions to restore a working libray then perhaps I've been too terse. Let me try again...
Rename the current iTunes Library.itl file in your iTunes folder as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl
Select a suitable file from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder and copy it. (Highlight and use right-click menu or press CTRL+C)
Paste the selected file (use menus or CTRL+V) into the main iTunes folder and rename the file (use menus, click in the filename or press F2) as iTunes Library.itl
If you have the patience you may be able to find a suitable .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that holds a more recent version of your library and can be restored using the same copy & rename technique, however the other files will hold rubbish so that could take time. To bring the restored library file up to date use File > Add folder to Library and select your media folder.
If you still have AVG installed then that may be part of the reason for the lack of success. How many .tmp files are there in your iTunes folder at present. In the normal course of things there shouldn't be any except one, briefly, as iTunes updates one of its files.

  • Palm Desktop 6.2.2 Datebook has lost 98% of future entries for the second time

    For the second time in a couple months when I opened the Datebook in Palm Desktop running on my PC (running XP) almost all the entries after May 18th are missing.  My last hot sync was June 10th - no errors were reported.  Each time I make an entry in any of the Palm Desktop apps I save.  I hot sync each evening when entries are made.  Only the Datebook seems to be affected.  I have a Palm Centro thru AT&T.
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    I solved the problem.  I no longer use the Palm Desktop.  I changed my hotsync conduit to Outlook, re-synced and everything transfered over without a hitch.  The missing Calendar entries were even transferred,  Life is now so much easier!

  • TS3694 my phone has switched off for the second time this week, however when connecting to itunes the restore process wont complete. the error is 2006 however i have tried a number of USB cords, and none seem to be working.

    my phone has switched off for the second time this week, however when connecting to itunes the restore process wont complete. the error is 2006 however i have tried a number of USB cords, and none seem to be working.
    I am in the noerthern [parts of australia and accessing an apple store is not possiable for another month. this is my only soucrce or telecommunication. please help

    This is what it says about error 2006
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • For the second time this week the sound on my iPad 2 doesn't work. Who has the solution for this problemen?

    For the second time this week i don't get any sound from my iPad 2. Who has the solution for this problem?

    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • HT4528 For the second time in two weeks, my 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers are still there, but every last name has disapeared. What is happening?

    For the second time in two weeks, my Iphone 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers still remain without any of the names, What is causing this to happen?

    1.  I assume that that suggests that it is not normal for a browser window to respond with minimisation?  It is just weird when a window just disappears, no reason given (and since there is no obvious loss of internet it can take you by chance)
    2.  Good that you ask.  No, it hasn't.  I meant to say when I first posted.
    3.  Thanks, I gather that.  It is just that Mavericks is so different from what I am used to.  Sigh...
    4.  It has calmed down but there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it.  Forgot to mention that I had my first ever crash of Final Cut Pro since I have been using it nearly daily for four years.  I even had Chrome crash on me in mid-upload (drat, drat, drat!).  I don't click or plough on- I stop, think and consider. Hence me posting.  Mavericks is just not as "smooth" as Snow Leopard to me.
    5.  Yes, I understand.  I just wish it would show me both instead of just the one with the "1". 
    Tell me about it!  It is impossible, I came here to answer via the link in the emailed notification, was already signed out and signed in and was returned to the front page.  Had to go back to my Mail, click the link again and this time, luckily, I was signed in.  In other words- the session is impossibly short and signing in doesn't return you to the browser window you were but rather returns you to the front.  Meh.

  • HT201412 I have restored my iphone 5 for the second time now, and it keeps crushing after 1hour of having completely restored it through iTunes. What am I supposed to do?

    I have restored my iphone 5 for the second time today, and it keeps crushing after 1hour of having completely restored it through iTunes. What am I supposed to do? I deleted some apps I had recently installed, even changed the background refresh. What else?

    Well... it said iPhone Recovery Mode, and I pressed 'Restore iPhone' after which it asked me if I am sure that I want to restore the phone to factory settings, I pressed 'yes'. After 20-30min it eventually came to the 'Hello' page where I had to sign in with my Apple ID, and then saw the icons of each of my apps. which one by one turned from grey to their full colour as they downloaded one by one. After 1-2 hours of having completed all the app downloads, I found the phone shut and could not turn it on with the normal way. And this happened after 2 restore sessions. Is there something I need to do, or I need to request a replacement. I have had the phone for 11months, and crushing problems begun on the 13 of Nov, which was a few days after I updated to iOS7. But today is already 48hours since I have not been able to use my iPhone properly.

  • Problem while refreshing the data for the second time using excel services in sharepoint 2013...

    Hi,
    I have migrated my Sharepoint from 2010 to 2013.I am able to get the data at the first time of refresh when I click on refresh for the second time I am getting the empty the sheet.
    below find the flow of refresh
    First Refresh
    On Click of refresh open the workbook with excel services and return the session id.
    Using that session I am invoking RefrehAsync method of excel services
    After refresh completed I am setting the calculation of workbook as automatic(to calculate the formulas) using the same session id
    After setting the calculation as Automatic I am setting the calculation type as full(recalculate) using the same session id.
    Now I am able to see the data
    Second Refresh
    After clicking on refresh instead of opening the workbook I am using the session id(already opened workbook) and setting the calculation type as manual
    I am following the same process from refresh(RefreshAsync) as I have followed in first refresh.
    This time my formulas are not getting calculated because of that I am not able to see the data.
    Could you please let me know that am I missing anything here?
    Is this know issue in Sharepoint2013 excel services as same code is working fine with Sharepoint2010.
    If I close the workbook(session id null) and opens(new session id) for all the refreshes it is working and I am able to see the data.
    Thanks,
    Meenakshi Nagpal
    N.Meenakshi

    I am able to see the data for the second refresh  if I change the data source.If I use the same data source which is used in the first refresh I am not getting the data.Excel services will contact the cubes and calculate the formulas in my workbook.
    Could you please let me know what could be the problem at second refresh while contacting the same data source with same session id?
    Please help me asap.
    Thanks,

  • For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar once already) my WiFi isn't working on my iPhone 4S. This is really infuriating and costly!!! I see others have the same issues.  Can't Apple do anything about this?  It's obviously a hardware problem!

    For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working.  They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing.  I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
    I see others have this issue too.
    If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it?  Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
    Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012.  The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
    Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?

    For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual.  If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store.

  • 2009 MBP can't see internal hard drive - for the second time!

    Well, my 2009 13" MBP is at Applecare for the second time because it cannot recognize _any_ internal hard drive.
    The first repair came at 9 months (purchased new), now 16 months later I have the same issue.
    Swap in a known good drive, it can't see it, boot from DVD, and run Disk Utility, it can't see it either (optical drive shows up fine)
    My first repair only said they replaced the original hard drive, has anyone else had the issue of losing access to your internal hard drive?
    Ugh, I will be out of the 3 year Applecare next summer, and don't want to get stuck with another iBook G3, if you know what I mean.
    Thanks for any feedback!

    Hi
    I have the same issue, I have a Vodafone branded Huawei HG556a with an external drive connected. I have found that it isn't possible to connect via Finder and that SMB doesn't work either. The only way I could connect to it was via FTP using Cyberduck (or Filezilla), but no use as I can't add my media files from the drive to iTunes, so unfortunately disappointing. I'm still looking, but here's the document I was referred too from another forum.
    broadband.vodafone.ie/download/files/storage_mac.pdf
    Although not an answer to your question, hopefully this will give you an idea why you are getting the password and username errors when you know they are correct. In the end when I entered the FTP details into Cyberduck I was able to connect.
    I know this doesn't help solve the problem (as I'm still looking too), but at leas you know why (ish).
    Cheers

  • Need to show popup when the Submit button is clicked for the second time ..

    Hi guys,
    I have a requirement where i need to show a popup or alert when the submit button is clicked twice . When it is clicked for the first time one method is been called and its process starts. When the user clicks the submit button for the second time they should be shown a popup stating "Submit button already been clicked, please clicked OK to continue".
    Can anyone help with this please , its really urgent requirement ?

    Hi,
    I dont have any sample code to give you now. For quick reference, I can advice some psuedo steps to achieve your requirement. I dont have access to JDEV to test this. If any syntax errors then pls correct yourself.
    1. Extend Controller since it is standard page ( Refer Anil Passi site for steps to extend seeded ontroller)
    2. Write below logic in your Process Request method
    super.processRequest(oaPageContext, oaWebBean);
    pageContext.putSessionValue("status", "notInitiated");
    3. Include below logic in your PFR method
    if(pageContext.getSessionValue("status")!=null){
    if("notInitiated".equals(pageContext.getSessionValue("status")))
    super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
    pageContext.putSessionValue("status", "initiated");
    else
    String message = "Display error message as required";
    throw new OAException(message, OAException.ERROR);
    You may need to import required packages ( Related to OAException).
    Remeber, to sumbit the request, user need to refresh the page again so that "status" variable will be refreshed.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks

  • ITunes 10.5.2.11 doesn't launch for the second time on Windows 7, 64 bit.

    I have iTunes 10.5.2.11(The latest as of now) on a WIndows 7, 64 bit PC. iTunes launches itself properly for the first time after my system boots, but, when I close iTunes and try to open it once again(without booting again), it's like the computer didn't get my instruction, the iTunes icon only clicks, but, it doesn't open. When I check the running programs with the Task Manager, iTunes isn't there. But, in processes, iTunes *32 is listed(This is after I tried launching it for the second time). If I end this process(and also the process tree), and then try to open iTunes, the window of iTunes appears, but, it just sits there like a brick!
    Can somebody please help me. Thank you.

  • Why charged me twice for the same item? They have withdrew money from my bank account for the second time about half an hour later after the transaction was completed leaving me overdrawn.

    Why charged me twice for the same item? They have withdrew money from my bank account for the second time about half an hour later after the transaction was completed leaving me overdrawn.

    Hi Benjamins,
    I've checked your account—you have two ExportPDF subscriptions. One placed on October 20 2013, and the other placed on October 11 of this year. So, you were probably charged the auto renewal for the subscription placed in 2013, and then the new charge for this year's order.
    Please Contact Customer Care so that an agent can help get things situated for you. There's no reason to have two subscriptions to the same service, so an agent can help you cancel one, if you'd like.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Scroller not appearing in the popup when opened for the second time

    Hi,
    I have a popup window which has three tabs A, B, and C. My tab A has BorderContainer > Scroller > Vgroup
    When opened for the first time, I can see the scroller. But , when opened for the second time, the scroller does not appear and the content in th Border container seems truncated.
    Please help.

    No answers, but I may be seeing something similar.
    I'm converting a project from Flex 3 to 4. In a popup (Spark TitleWindow) I have a some TabNavigators. On subsequent openings of the popup, the contents of the navigator children don't always render. After some changing of various Halo components to their Spark equivalents, I thought the problem had gone away. But the problem seems to have come back.
    In my case, I'm not sure if the "subsequent opening" is the key issue. Sometimes, the contents of nested TabNaviagtor children don't render on the first opening. although the first child content always renders. But the problem seems to increase in subsequent openings. (I.e. more children of TabNavigators don't render.)
    Perhaps not connected, but I notice when this happens, the outside borders of dataGrid components don't render in components outside of TabNavigators. I suspect there's a simple thing I need to to do to fix this, but I haven't found it. Any hints or insights would be welcomed.
