Help with transfer of music after upgrade to Win 7

I upgraded to Win 7 from Vista, which caused the loss of all my current files etc. I had a current backup (on a sep external HD as well as online) of my itunes before I did this, BUT I failed to consolidate the itunes.
Now I have nothing in my itunes but I have lots of folders under "my music" with subfolders including itunes again, itunes music, itunes media, previous itune libraries, etc, etc.
I'm really unclear, after reading several articles about recreating my library and moving my music and so on. Do I need to consolidate now? Would this help put everything where it is suppose to be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In Windows 7 all the files in iTunes are now in separate folders in iTunes Media so you get mobile apps, music, movies, podcasts etc. I don't know how Vista files were structured but on XP you found movies and podcasts as folders within the music folder.
You can also have folders 'duplicated' in that they can also be visible within another folder. I unknowingly had my iTunes folder stored in both My Music and My Pictures.
Rather than consolidate from the Edit menu choose preferences, go to the Advanced tab. In the top box you will see the location of your files (in my case it is Music\iTunes\iTunes Media), tick 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media when adding to library' which should ensure future files go to the right place (and I believe sorts the existing files out.)

    Hi,
    Please Change your transfer settings in site manager from either default or passive to active it to see what's going on.
    Also, check IE compatibility mode.
    In addition, I suggest you install all latest updates for Windows since these updates will improve and fix some known issues.

  • Beats Music after upgrade

    Has anyone else experience any issues with the music after the upgrade? What's happening to me is my beats ear buds no longer control the music. I can not start or stop the music via the beats ear buds. If I'm listening to music and get a call it will not longer stop for me to talk on the phone, the music continues to play in the back ground, I have to stop the music manually in order to talk on the phone. The main purpose of the beats phone was the music,so to me this is a major disappointment.

    I have an HTC Rezound with the beats earbuds.

  • Tpnotify with TPACK flag hangs after upgrading to Tuxedo 12c RP020

    Hi,
    We are experiencing issues with tptonify with TPACK flag set after upgrading to Tuxedo 12c. Looks like tpnotify is not returned or reporting errors. Is there anything to do with "009. Bug16506218 - TPNOTIFY WITH TPACK FLAG THROW OUT EXCEPTION"? Is there any documentation about the new flag TPACK_INTL?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    If all you have done is upgrade to Tuxedo12 the behavior should be the same. The TPACK flag definition is:
    "The request is sent and the caller blocks until an acknowledgement message is received from the target client"
    Is there any additional change(e.g. in your client) you have made?
    What Tuxedo version are you upgrading from?
    The bug 16506218 fix was for a jolt client exception and a JSH failure.
    Do you see an error or is the process which executes tpnotify() just hanging/blocking waiting for the ack message?
    The flag that you mention is actually an undocumented customer requested enhancement that went into Tuxedo 10.3.
    Are you using it? Using it changes the tpnotify() behavior dependent upon the client status.
    Regards,
    Bob Finan

  • I dont have any Add-ons with my FireFox. After upgrade to the latest version 26.0 I'm keep getting Script error "chrome://global/content/binding/popup.xml:580"

    Quite frequently I'm keep getting the error like "Script is not responding....I dont have any Add-ons with my FireFox. After upgrade to the latest version 26.0 I'm keep getting Script error "chrome://global/content/binding/popup.xml:580" Stop or Continue Script.
    Currently I don't have any Add-Ons installed in my FireFox, so I can suspect any Add-ons.
    I'm facing this issue only after the upgrade to 26.0 recently.

  • After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer working

    After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my  DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer recognizing discs. When I first put a disc in the drive runs for a bit and then stops. I've tried updating the driver but it says it has the most current driver. Under manage, it does not show any error codes and it says it is working correctly. I've looked at the regedit and it does not have any of upper and lower filters. I've tried disabling, rebooting, and reenabling. What am I missing? Another issue I've had since upgrading is that my network adapter needs reset several times a day in order to remain connected to wifi.

    Hey hvbnfrgvn,
    Thank you for the information on your HP Pavilion g7-2270us Notebook PC.
    I suggest following the steps in this document for Drive Cannot Read Discs (Windows 8).
    If your CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8), follow the steps in this document.
    I hope this information helps, please keep me posted on how it goes.
    Best of luck and have a great day!

  • System recovery fails after upgrade to Win 8.1 on Satellite L75D-A7283

    My elderly uncle forgot the password to his Win 8 user account sometime after upgrading to Win 8.1. He was the administrator, we haven't been able to get Microsoft to reset the account, so I thought to roll back the computer to its factory installation of Win 8.
    However, when I try to do that, I get as far as the Reset your PC screen and find that the only target OS is Win 8.1, not the original Win 8. Ok, I accept that. But after choosing to restore Win 8.1, it says "Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing."
    I have examined the disk by removing it and attaching it to another computer and find that both the original Win 8 recovery partition and the new Win 8.1 GPT recovery partition are both there. They just don't seem to be accessible.
    It seems that the Win 8.1 upgrade has made the original factory recovery partition inaccessible, which is not particularly helpful. We have no recovery disks to work from, so I think my only recourse is to try to get a Win 8 factory recovery disk from Toshiba, but I wondered if anyone else has a suggestion? Thanks.

    Satellite L75D-A7283
    It's my understanding the upgrade does not modify any other partitions while upgrading Windows itself. Seems likely something else is wrong.
    If you did not create recovery media before and cannot do so now, then obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
    All the information in the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide, should still be applicable.
