HELP: library empty after update 11.02.26

Hi,
I just installed the new iTunes version 11.02.26. After I opened iTunes my whole library was empty, playlists, music, video's... It's all gone.
I restarted my laptop (windows 8) to see if that would fix te problem but it didn't work. I als got the error -42110 and I fixed it by deleting the 'SC Info' folder.Than I restarted my laptop again, but still no sign of my old library with all the playlists.
Than I installed the old version of iTunes back to what it was, (11.01) but my library was still missing.
Please HELP if anyone knows how to fix this. I have had days of work to organize my playlists! And I need to synchonize my iPhone for my work as soon as possible without losing any of my settings, music, agenda, etc.
Thank you VERY much!

Help me! After updating my iphone 3g is no longer able to call. Outgoing calls are completely silent for the recipient

Help me! After updating my iphone 3g is no longer able to call!!
Outgoing calls can be made but the recipient does not feel anything. I own a phone that is useless!

First try Resetting it: Hold down the home and sleep button, ignore the red OFF slider, wait for the Apple logo then let go.
If that does not work, Restore your iPhone in iTunes from your backup.
If that still does not fix it, Restore your iPhone and a new phone (not from backup) and see how it works. If it is doing fine you have a app you are using that is probably causing your problem. Load them one and a time until the problems recur and you will have found the one that is a problem.

How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
View > Show Duplicates
Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

HELP! itunes arranges the library differently after updating

after updating itunes to 7.0.2.16 the library is arranged abruptly wrong!
the article in band names is taken now into account! for example, 'the who' is now found under 't' and not - what would be correct - under 'w'.
this has not been before and i could not find how to change it correctly!
anyone here who knows how to solve this problem?
thanks
itunes 7.0.2.16 Windows XP

here's the solution!!!!
important is the file: localizable.strings
well, you have to do the following steps:
- go to: programs > itunes > itunes.resources > de.iproj > localizable.strings
(the path is for german itunes. for english versions it has to be 'en.iproj' or 'fr.iproj' for french, respectively. depending on the version of itunes and wether it is a pc or mac the path can differ. important is to find 'resources' and the ipod-settings - in this folder is the marked file)
- copy this file and paste it into your desktop.
- open it with text editor.
- search for Reordered Artist Strings within the file
you'll see the following without the marked paragraph:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
"146.007" = "The ";
"146.008" = "%1, The";
"146.009" = "the ";
"146.010" = "%1, the";
"146.011" = "THE ";
"146.012" = "%1, THE";
this is the region important for the arrangement within the library.
- if you have a none-english version you have to copy the marked paragraph and paste it into the file. pay attention that the numbering is correct!
('die' is a german definite artikel like 'the'. in the french version there will probably be 'le' or 'la'. important is that you have the part with 'the' in this file!!!! same to other languages...)
- i don't know if english versions have this problem, too. important is to have the marked paragraph correctly in this file! check this out!
- paste the edited file into the original folder. it may be a good idea to keep the old file if anything went wrong!!!

IPhoto library empty after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6

HI,
I have noticed this problem mentioned by others numerous times with no solution that has worked for me. Has a better fix been found other than recopying all of the files in the 'old masters' list into a new library, effectively losing previously created albums, etc.? Is anyone at Apple actually working this issue since it seems to be pretty widespread and apparently directly related to a bug in iPhoto 9.6?.
OK, first, i have no back up iPhoto library. I had one previously but my secondary external drive got full and I had to wipe it to rearrange a bunch of data. Had planned on re-backing it up when I opened iPhoto and uploaded some new photos from my phone, but this event happened and now I am out of luck...
My iPhoto library is stored on an external drive (Wester Digital my Passport for Mac) and has worked fine until yesterday when I plugged my iPhone 6+ in to upload photos and sync with iTunes. Upon booting up iPhoto, I got a notification that I needed to upgrade my library. I clicked on the upgrade function and was then notified that a mistake was found and a repair was necessary. The repair was ongoing when iPhoto froze and entire system failed, giving note that startup disk was nearly full. After doing system restart and opening iPhoto, I found all photos gone from iPhoto window. iPhoto is using the correct library and after looking at all internal files in iPhoto library, I found all photos had been moved to "old masters, old thumbnails, old previews". Files are below:

Size of iPhoto library is still over 500 gigs, so data is there apparently. I immediately backed iPhoto library up, so at least this data has been salvaged, but I still can't access my photos. I have used iPhoto's rebuild functions sequentially all the way to full rebuild, with no photos being found. I then used iPhoto library manager app's rebuild function, and it also revealed no photos.
So, what can I do to sort this out? Needless to say, with 500+ gigs of photos, I am concerned. I am hesitant to do the manual rebuild using the 'old masters' option since I will lose all of my previously organized albums. Is waiting for Apple to issue a fix that will actually restore lost data only a dream or would that feasibly happen? Thanks in advance for any and all help that can be offered.

and....
Here is the step by step method to recover your photos into a new Library....
Please read the warning below first.....
The current emergency only workaround fix for this issue when the user hasn't made or doesnt have access to any backups, is as follows....
Quit iPhoto
In Finder, Select iPhoto Library
Control Click on iPhoto Library and choose Show Package
Drag Masters or Old Masters folder to either desktop or external HD if not enough space on System Drive
Delete or preferably move iPhoto Library file to new location so at a later date one can recover the library again if needed..
Restart Mac
Launch iPhoto... (It should then create a new Library automatically...)
Drag and drop the Masters or Old Masters folder(s) onto iPhoto's icon... or use the menu option in iPhoto to import photos and point to the Masters or Old Masters folders saved out previously.
Be patient............
Photos will then be re-added to iPhoto... and added to the new library...
Note: If you have both Masters and Old Masters folders then add them one at a time, letting iPhoto import and index all the photos from one folder before adding another....
Important Warning!!!: All modifications and folder structures/albums from the original library will be lost.... but at least the original photos are rescued... and a new library is created that should be free of issues with the current iPhoto/Yosemite combination.

IBooks library vanished after update

After updating my iOS to the latest version recently, I was dismayed to find everything gone from my iBooks library. Does anyone know if Apple is going to bother to remedy this unpleasant surprise for future updates?
I recommend backing up your pdf books by opening them in Adobe reader or Kindle reader for iPad to make sure important texts aren't lost.

Get your terminology straight ... No - if you did what KP suggested - according to your response - you reset the iPad - you did not restart it. I suggested a restart - and a sync again.
Two different things ...
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.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You could try quitting all apps and then restart and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. 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.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.2 - Applications Menu empty after update

After updating all my boxes from 3.0 to 3.2, one of them got the Applications Menu wiped. The .desktop files are all there but none show up in the Menu, it's just empty.
Apart from that everything seems to work just fine, did anyone came across a similiar problem or knows a solution ? I tried to google how to regenerate the Menu but failed to find anything useful and/or gnome3 related.

Need help. Activation after update iOS 5.1 is not working!!

Need Help in activating my iphone 4 after update iOS 5.1. My phone was been neverlock and i used its before update without any activations. After update i can't turn on my phone!!! On the display have message "SIM not valid. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive replacement SIM card". But i haven't any sim cards. Only the sim card from my operator "Kyivstar" (Ukraine)... What should i do?!
p.s.: sorry for my bad english, but i live in Ukraine, and we haven't autorized service center of Apple in our country. help me please.

You have been using a phone that has been hacked to allow it to be used on your network. Upgrading your phone's software has relocked your phone to the original carrier.
You will not be able to use your phone again unless the ORIGINAL carrier offers unlocking. Many don't, and many who DO offer unlocking, will not unlock unless the phone has active service with the carrier in the appropriate country.
You will need to find out who the carrier your phone is locked to is, and see if that carrier unlocks the phone. It is very likely you will need to buy a new phone.

Music folder empty after update to iOS 5/Musikordner leer

After an update to iOS 5 no music is shown in the music folder of my Ipod touch 4 (64 GB) any more.
But the titles are shown in ITunes on my mac when I link the pod. So, they are all there but they are not shown.
A new synchronisation does not help. Who can help?

Requery form data block is empty after updating notification attributes

Hello,
we build a form to approve/reject open WF notifications.
The form data block is based on wf_notifications,
wf_local_user_roles, wf_notification_attributes and wf_comments and some additional PSB tables.
We use the following API's to perform the update:
wf_notification.SetAttrText( nid => l_notification_id
, aname => 'RESULT'
, avalue => l_result);
wf_notification.respond(nid => l_notification_id
,responder => name_in('FORM_GLOBALS.USER_NAME')
,respond_comment => name_in('FORM_GLOBALS.REDEN_AFWIJZING') );
First the query shows 3 notifications and after updating one notification as shown above a requery is performed on the datablock and no records are shown anymore.
If I remove the code wf_notification.SetAttrText then the 2 remaining notifications are shown.
It looks like the wf_notification.SetAttrText is conflicting with my view.

Library Missing After Update. Please help!

After downloading the 9.1.1 update, my library went missing. I followed the instructions to a "T" about dragging the iTunes folder to my desktop and then renaming my previous library from the day I made the update (2010-05-23) to "iTunes Library", but it didn't work. Now I don't have the most recent previous library file to even try that again. Help anyone? Thanks in advance

Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

Outlook is empty after update - Many fixes tried already - Advance help needed

Hello there,
First of all, I've scoured many forums and tried many fixes, so this is not a first-look question, I've really tried my best for the past 12 hours.
Yesterday my MacBook froze with Excel and Outlook and I had to do a hard shutdown, which was more complicated to do than expected. Right after that, I did a disk repair and a permissions repair. After a new restart, I figured I should also download the most recent Office update (14.4.2 I think, though I don't know where to check). Then I went to bed. When I opened my computer this morning, my Outlook was empty of all emails. The folders and accounts were there, but no emails at all. So I looked in forums and saw that I should do a Main Identity rebuild. So I did that, it took about 3 hours (way too long, right?) and it blocked at Step 4, "Impossible to rebuild database". The forums said if that doesn't work, created a new identity, migrate the Microsoft User Data for Outlook into the new identity and do a new rebuild. I migrated all of the data and did a new rebuilt, stuck again. Another forum said to be more selective with the data migrated (only the most important folders, like Messages, Contacts, Folders, etc.). Did that with another new identity and it completed the 5 steps. But when I opened the new Outlook with that new identity, now it was all brand new and empty. So I decided to go back to the root and go back to the original Main identity and do a new rebuild with that one. Now it says that it works with a previous version of Outlook, so I'm thinking the culprit is the update, but from what I can understand, it's impossible to go back on an update without completely uninstalling Office.
Of course, I restarted the system every time and restarted the system in safe mode for the Outlook try-outs.
Also of course I wouldn't be in that trouble if I could just TimeMachine a few days back, but I was travelling for the past months and had external drives problems, so my last timemachine dates a few months back (stupid, I know, but that's how it is.)
So to recap:
- I still have my Microsoft User Data files (for example through Office 2011 Identities / Main Identity / Messages / OT / OB / OM / Loads of files dating back from 2013 to this morning.)
- Original Rebuild didn't work.
- New identity Rebuild didn't work
- New Identity Rebuild worked but Outlook still empty
- Return to Main Identity rebuild rejects new Office update.
What can I try next?
Thank you so much for your help!
Stephanie

Thank you. After posting I started to search for Backflip studios and found this support id. I had meanwhile created a new nickname, very similar to the original one, and requested that they swap the advanced world to the new id. I sent this last Saturday evening. This morning (so effectively on their first workday after my request!) I received a kind response from Rachael that they had swapped the parks. Like your daughter my son couldn't believe his eyes. Thank you for your post, original and reply, I hope others will find it too and that Rachael can keep up such excellent support. It means a lot...

IPhoto library appears empty after update.

A while ago I updated iPhoto to v9 and have been happily using my main personal iPhoto library since.
Recently, I needed to check one of my older, business, libraries and iPhoto is behaving as though it's a newly created library with no photos. Further checking of my eight further libraries showed seven of them in the same state, the other went through the expected 'upgrade' procedure and is intact.
So,
1. Why didn't the others update automatically?
2. How do I force them to update?
3. Short of going into the package contents and extracting the photos what else can I do to recover the situation?

If there are edited photos in the backed up library and you restore it you should be able to view those edits once you convert the library to the latest version of iPhoto.
There is no way to identify which are edited versions from the Finder.
Since iPhoto 7 will still run on Mavericks I would try this on one of your iPhoto 7 libraries or as restore iPhoto 7 library:
1 - restore iPhoto 7 from your Time Machine backup.
2 - launch it with the Option key held down and select the V7 library to open.
3 - close iPhoto 7 and relaunch with the Option+Command keys held down to open the First Aid window.
4 - select all options and rebuild.
5 - after the rebuild launch the iPhoto Library Upgrader
select the rebuild V7 library and upgrade it.
6 - launch iPhoto 9.5.1 and open the library. Check to see if it's working as it should.
