Has the AVG update been released yet for the missing library issue...

does anybody know?
I'm disabling AVG at present due to it constantly removing my library and playlists, it was rumoured to be released, well a hotfix, over the weekend, can anybody clarify?
I'm on the AVG free edition by the way
Cheers

MSE should be a set & forget solution. Like any AV it may still miss newly released viruses so it is up to you to make sensible choices when browsing the web and backup your data against a disaster.
See this post for the iTunes library recovery strategy. A recent .tmp file may give better results than an older .itl file. You shouldn't need to download anything from the cloud as it should all still be on your computer.

  • The missing library problem.

    I understand that there's already a lot of threads about the sudden disappearance of iTunes libraries, however I'm typing this up because I'd like to point out in a bit more detail what I'm seeing happening to my computer, and maybe have a collective of what's going on. This issue has happened to me five times in the last two months since I've updated to iTunes 11. After searching on google I know the missing library problem has existed since the early 2000s; why this glitch has yet to be fixed 13 years later is beyond me. I have personally never had this problem until updating to 11, and seeing the many other threads on here this appears to me to be an issue with this version of the software more than it has been in previous versions.
    Before I continue, I have tried the following to fix it:
    Simply readded my whole library. It was only wiped again a few weeks later.
    Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That didn't work either, so it's not just an updating problem.
    What I haven't tried
    Changing where on my computer iTunes is installed. I have no idea where on the computer might be better or if it will change anything. I have iTunes installed on its default location on my local C: disk.
    Importing the music directly from my iPod into iTunes. Can this be done? If so, how? Not everything on my iTunes is a store purchase, most of it is imported CDs and also amazon purchases too. So I don't know if the transfer purchases option works. While this wouldn't fix this current issue, I would like to know how to do this if possible since it would just be a quick fix whenever this happens.
    What is happening:
    So each time this has happened, what occurs is that like many other people, one day I open my iTunes and everything is in order. Then the next, for no reason, all of my libraries are gone but the music is still on my computer, organized in their files the way iTunes had them done so upon importing. I can't use the .itl files in the "previous libraries" folder because they have also been re-written. Upon opening them, even if their last save was on a day I know everything was in working order, opening them does nothing but give me the same blank default page.
    What isn't mentioned in a lot of the posts regarding this issue, is the sudden crop of temporary files in the iTunes folder.
    The ones that have cropped up for me personally are the following:
    iT 1.tmp
    iT 2.tmp
    iT 3.tmp
    iT 4.tmp
    Temp file 1.tmp
    Temp file 2. tmp
    Those were not there the last time I used iTunes, and they're never there on the days I've used it before and it has worked correctly. However every time my library is wiped, these files suddenly appear without fail, every time. I can't open them, I can't do anything with them except delete them. I believe I remember reading somewhere that this might be an issue regarding with how the program is saving the progress of your library changing, and that the temp files are there until it can "officially" save what has happened to your library. While I didn't change anything in my library in the last couple of weeks, I'm assuming this also counts things like play count.
    My own personal opinion
    Seeing just how many threads with this issue are popping up, this leads me to believe that this isn't just a problem with my personal computer or my personal install of iTunes 11. These temp files also lead me to believe that as well. In other words, whatever glitch has existed with iTunes since the early 2000s is for some reason running rampant in version 11.
    TL;DR:
    Please developers, actually look at this library glitch within the program itself. It can't just be an individual user's problem because way too many people are experiencing it.

    No worries. You've probably run into one the other threads I've posted to but I'll add my thoughts here anyway...
    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 copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, 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.

  • Has a fix for the audiobook problem on ipod classic been released yet?

    My fiance just gave me an ipod classic 160g for valentines day. I turned it on and uploaded my large collection of audiobooks just to find out that it throws them all into a pool of chapters. Is this something I am doing wrong or has apple still not published a fix for this? A bit of searching shows that several users have faced the same frustration.

    Check some of the audiobooks in your iTunes Library. Use File/Get Info/Info. Are the basic fields completed, such as the Track Number and total tracks, the Disc Number and total number of discs. Without that information, the iPod will have difficulty in sorting them into the correct order.

  • Has an actual date been released for the iPad 3   Siri, or is it still in the vague season known as "fall"?

    I'm looking to buy an iPad, however I am just wondering if there is a set release date for the iPad 3 + Siri. I'd really prefer not to buy an iPad and then find out a week later that there as been a new iPad + Siri release! Thanks.

    Apples Software Update process is easy enough to do if you were to buy an iPad with iOS 5.1.1 (current) and upgrade to iOS 6.0 when it is released.

  • HAS THE IM+ speak-to-text Actually Been Released Yet? Or not quite?

    i found IM+ lite on the iphone apps search, but can't seem to utilize the speak-to-text feature. Is this because it hasn't actually been released? Or is it on the IM+ lite and I just need to figure it out? Thanks in advance!!

    Find version 3.3 in the App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=296246130&mt=8
    The notes say that version 3.4 is in review.

  • In the latest Lion update, has the dropping WiFi issue really truly been totally fixed?

    Anyone still seeing the wifi dropping off, out of the blue, for no reason, issue as was the haunting problem in previous Lion releases?
    For those that had the dropping off issue (and there were many).
    Did this last Lion release/update really really absolutely totally fix the issue for everyone?
    Totally? Completely? Honestly?

    I have updated two machines directly to 10.7.2 and have had no issues with either machine.
    Are you sure these problems are not as a result of the wireless router used rather than a Lion problem?
    I have seen many wireless faults in the past caused by the routers which have been fixed by updating the router firmware.
    Maybe those who are posting wireless problems need to also state the make and model of router they are using to see if a pattern emerges?

  • Has the T430 fan issue been fixed?

    Hello all,
    I am thinking of selling my Macbook Pro and getting a T430, but I am a little concerned with the fan issue being reported here in the forums. Has the problem been fixed in the newer models? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    I'm in the same situation, a year ago I purchased a T420 and I was very pleased as the notebook was very quietly most of the time. My notebook was stolen a week ago () and I'm looking for a replacement. As I understand not everybody is suffering this problem of whining fan,  have any idea  if this problem could be associated to only some particular models??. For example, this problem affects both the models with integrated & dedicated graphics (as far as I understand the dedicated GPU can generate lots of extra heat inside the machine that needs to be dissipated)??
    Best Regards
    Luis

  • MSI R9 270X Gaming 2G has the flicker/jitter issue. Does the BIOS update work?

    Hey all, my internet research led me here for the flicker/jitter issue as seen in this Youtube video. The video isn't mine, but my issue is similar but worse as the screen with completely black out for a second.
    It mostly happens when web browsing, but once in a while it'll happen while gaming. Strangely, it only happens on my primary display, not on my secondary display.
    My serial number (minus the last three digits) is: 602-V303-07SB1312029XXX
    I can't seem to find if the BIOS flash helped anyone or not, I'm assuming it has though because I haven't read any reports of people looking for more help after the flash.
    So here are my questions:
    Which vBIOS do I need and where can I find it?
    My card has the BIOS switch, which position should it be on for the flash?
    Lastly, whats the best method to flash the new BIOS?
    Thank you for your time.

    You can try flash to the latest UEFI vbios TV303MH.1A0...
    This vbios is for all V303-07S card.
    the flash method also wrote in this thread.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=182256.msg1309322#msg1309322
    Edit: I just check the vBIOS switch, the other vbios should be UEFI already, try switch to the other vbios, and see if the flicker/jitter issue happen?

  • Why has the total library size gone from my itunes

    I downloaded the latest iTunes the other day and now the total library size is missing and the window size is actually too large for my monitor too, though I've not altered any settings.  
    I HATE not having the library size showing at the bottom of the page when my iTunes library is open.  Anyone know what's happened?

  • Where has the User Library gone in Lion?

    The User Library, ~/Library, is no longer viewable in a normal Finder window.
    How does one access it now?
    There are times when I want access to it to make a copy of my Address Book database, empty the User cache or in transferring data from an old computer to a new one without using the Migration Assistant.
    There must be a way other than using Terminal... I hope.

    Finder>GO  hold option key
    Additional note, since this doesn't say what should happen...  Holding the option key while clicking the Go menu in the Finder causes a Library item to appear.  Choose that to open the hidden user Library folder.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/ && killall Finder
    There is no need to "killall Finder" to make this work.  Simply doing "chflags nohidden ~/Library" is sufficient.

  • Does the new Mac OS reslove the missing icon issue with photoshop cs6

    Thre has been a longstanding issue with missing icons of CS6 in the Mounatin Lion. Has the issue been fixed now with  Mavericks?

    Thank you, it was brief enjoyment. I just about got it set up as I wanted it. Wednesday evening as I was browsing the internet with the Mac Mini, and re-formatting the HD's of my G5 ready for eBay, the new Mac Mini died on me, less than a week old.
    Returned to seller, they confirmed it was dead. I should take delivery of another new unit tomorrow, (Monday). I have lent the technician a paint scraper, so he can fit the new RAM without marking the bottom this time...
    Second time lucky hopefully. It could have been the power supply? I will probably never know.

  • Has the spigen tough armor been released yet anywhere?

    Being that the regular watch can be easily scratch , has there been any sightings of this mini otterbox for watch in any country?

    Why don't you look at the manufacturer's website? They probably have a release date. Failing that, I'm sure they'll have contact information.

  • Has the IOS7 been released yet?

  • Why has my delivery date been pushed back for The New iPad?

    My iPad delivery date has been pushed back to March 20. Anyone else get the same email? When I ordered it, it said it would arrive on March 16. It annoyed me because I sat on my MacBook for 5 hours waiting for the Store to come back online after it went down a second time and as soon as it was back I ordered it!! Has anyone else received a similar email? The best part is the online store stated delivery for new orders as "delivered March 16" for an entire 24 hours after I ordered!!!

    I know it's worth the wait, I've had the first two. But that's not the point of this discussion. I ordered as soon as it was available and then they tell me I have to wait, but everyone else who ordered at the same time doesn't? I don't care if they've been overwhelmed by orders. It happens with ever iPhone and iPad, they need to start getting sufficient stock for release day and stop giving us the same old story of how unexpected the demand was.
    Then, you should be used to it and just expect it to happen. If you are unhappy, perhaps you should just go to a store and purchase an Android tablet and get it immediately. Problem solved.
