HELP! can't reload music library after having to reload itunes.

Help! My Dell had to be serviced for 'slowness' problems. We backed up my huge song list to a external hard drive. I made the mistake of reloading itunes before I reloaded my library. Upon the first itunes download, it automatically searched my entire computer and found 3 (YES 3!)songs to go into my library (2 came free with the itunes download and one was in a documents file). When I tried to 'import' my song list, it would only import songs 1 by 1!!!!! Yikes! I have 200+ albums and hundreds of other individual songs. I can't spend 10 days re-importing each song.
I tried removing iTunes tonight. I thought if I re-downloaded the program AFTER my music files were loaded, that it would pick them up and add them back to the music library(like it did the first download). However, no such luck. It won't recognize my song list. Please help me re-load my music files to itunes. Greatly appreciated!
Thanks! Billy

Chris, I tried it a different way....to actually drag the music files and folders into the itunes (program screen), not just into it's music folders. Thanks because it's working.

  • Can't sincronize music library after joining ItunesMatch

    Hello all! I have joined the ItunesMatch recently, and after that I had to restore my iOS on iphone. Since then I couldn't sincronize my music library on Itunes. The only alternative is download my library from iCloud, even having them in my Mac. Any help?

    Well, I used to sync my Mac library into my iphone without problems. So I have bought the Match service and a few days later I had to restore my iOs. Sinde then I couldn't sync my musics. My library is all in the cloud as normal, but I can't sync my Mac with my phone by cable anymore. The only way to have my library back into phone is by downloading from the cloud. I can sync my apps without problems, The problem is only the library sync.
    So, my library is on my Mac and in my iCloud, but I can only sync with the cloud, not the Mac.

  • Please, please help-can't sync music library

    Hiyas. I made the dreaded switch from Mac back to PC today, and my ipod nano was Mac formatted. Before I plugged in my ipod, I downloaded itunes and authorized the new PC. When I plugged in my nano, itunes informed me I'd have to reformat to Windows and now my library is gone with all of my music with it. I just want to transfer all of my itunes purchased music to my ipod using itunes without having to use an external hard drive to do it. Is that possible at this point? Thank you so much!

    My preference is to manually manage my music, and not let iTunes take control of it -- the Apple software can't screw anything up if I don't let it have access to my files, ya know?
    This issue has nothing to do with manually managing or not. As mentioned, Windows can't read a Mac formatted iPod. Reformatting will delete content on an iPod whether or not you manually manage your music.

    I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
    iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
    Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

    Marco,
    is your main system language set to English? If not, change the language to English in the "Language&Region" System Preferences  (see: Re: I bought Aperture in a box et can't upgrade from 3.4.5 to 3.5.). Then sign back into AppStore and reload the Updates panel.
    Other things that could prevent the update are, if you moved Aperture from the Applications folder or renamed it. Then put it back.

  • Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

    Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

    Just to be clear, if by downgrade you mean uninstall, then the answer is technically, no.
    You can't uninstall an OS. You can erase and re-install the old OS, but if you don't have a prior backup of your data, you'll lose it during the erase procedure.

  • I can access my music library, but not the Itunes store. Just getting a white screen. It starts to connect but just stops. Any suggestions?

    I can access my music library, but Itunes Store is not opening. I am just getting a white screen. Any suggestions?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
    If that doesn't help, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Can i transfer music library?

    is there any way that i can move my music library to another computer without having to remove songs from itunes because i dont have enough space in the ipod?
      Windows XP  

    There are a few things you could do, from networking the two computers, using CDs or DVDs as already suggested or using an external hard drive to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
    If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows

  • Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary"???

    Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary”???

    Thanks a lot, Frank. The lsregister did the trick! I am testing this on 10.8.2.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770 : I deleted the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist", and restarted the Finder, even logged off and on again; did not change anything. The file has not been recreated, so it may not be used anymore.

    The direct "copy and paste" from the post did not work: I had to retype it :
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    but then it worked like a charm!
    Cheers
    Léonie
    And btw: I turned on the "-v" option for the lsregister to see, what was going on, and saw plenty of error messages (error -10811); so I repeated the command with "sudo". After that I still saw five iPhotos. Repeating as regular user finally got rid of the redundant iPhoto entries. It looks like registering as super user may be causing this trouble.

  • Can I copy music imported from my CDs in iTunes library to another device - a 1TB Sony PVR

  • Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    If the music was RIP'd from CD, then the fastest way is to restore from your backup.
    Since it sounds like you did not have a backup, you will need to reRIP them from your CDs. Nothing else you can do.
    iTunes purchases you can redownload. Open iTunes, go to the store, click on Purchases on the right side under Quick links.
    Then tell the tech who formatted it for you without making a backup or making sure teat YOU made a backup that his rear end has a vacancy sign and your foot is looking for a place to rent.
    and you should make a backup right now of your computer and update teh backup after you RIP all the CDs.
    And make it a regualr practice, like weekly, depending on how much you want to lose.
