ITunes can no longer find my files from external Library

I have a PC using Windows 7, I have had my iTunes library stored on an external drive for ages and it has been working brilliantly. I have recently done some updates both for iTunes and my 3rd gen iPad, tried to sync some different movies to my iPad and iTunes can't find my files any more. The location of my library had reverted to the local drive, I tried to change it back but to no avail. The files are still on the external drive, when I try to open them with iTunes manually, iTunes tries to open but then says a problem has occured and it must terminate, it offers to find a solution online but (after the first time when it said an update was available to fix the problem and i downloaded it) it then just closes. The version of iTunes is 10.7.0.21 on the iPad, I am running iOS 6.0.1

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.

Re-import music files from external library location (i.e. from archive)

This is maddening as ___
I keep my iTunes files on a drive external to my OS drive for safe keeping. I did a clean install of the OS, backed up the library from iTunes beforehand, and now I can't reimport the library with creating a whole new library and duplicating the files. So I know how to...
1) Set the music location to another drive - not a problem
2) When I import the XML library I get my play lists, BUT I only get the message my other music cannot be found. Importing the library itself does nothing. I've also tried moving the library (from the original, with its XML file) and I get all the songs and preferences but none of the songs can be found - grrrr!
3) So, how do I import the music into iTunes, and leave it on the remote drive. (iTunes always wants to create a new directory and copy it there it seems and since I don't have enough room to just let it make a whole new 48GB directory....
4) Why is this SO difficult - it is consistently a sore point with this one thing (I otherwise love all my other apple goodies for 10+ years, but this...ugh!) Any tools people know of?
Thanks

The 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file is not used by iTunes, but created by iTunes so it can be used by other programs.
If you still have the 'iTunes Library' file from before the clean install, putting it in the iTunes folder should reveal your library.
Read more about the library files here:
What are the iTunes library files?
You can also use the .xml file to restore the library.
Just set the folder on your EHD which contains all the music as 'iTunes Music folder location' in the preferences.
Then run iTunes (with the empty library), choose 'Import...' from the File menu and navigate to the .xml file.
Your library will be restored, no new folder, no dupes.
Before posting this message, I tested the procedure on my 'test' account, on which I keep a very small iTunes Library (about 10 songs), to 'mess up' and test certain procedures.
I moved (consolidated) the library to a 'testtunes' folder on an EHD, trashed the 'iTunes Library' file and used the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file to restore the library. No dupes, no new folder. Worked just fine.
Hope this helps.

I moved itunes file to external hard drive and want to move the file on my pc to recycle bin. When I move i get an error message that it cannot delete ituneshelper.dll access is denied. Can I move that file to the recycle bin?

I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.

Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.

I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive. I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes. With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files. When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive. I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world. Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me! Help !

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive?

How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive and keep the new iTunes library on the External Hard Drive. I have all the media and playlist and .xml .itl files, just want the iTunes to recognise the content.
I backedup my iTunes content by dragging to External Hard Drive. Formatted and reinstalled OS. My iTunes content is so large, that I wish for the Library and content to remain on the External Hard Drive. I have all the music files and playlists, I just cannot get the iTunes application to display all the content. Hoping to Not have to drag and drop all the content to be recopied into new iTunes organised files.
Troubleshooting this by researching other conversations on the web, I have come stuck for a solution. One Troubleshoot told me to hold down the Command key and then lauch iTunes and a dialogue box will appear to Choose a new library, however when I try this, no Dialogue box appear to give me the option!?

It sometimes has that funny switch symbol on it too.

How do you locate the file where iPhoto library is kept? I moved iPhoto library from hard drive to external dedicated photo drive.

I am trying to restore some elements of my iPhoto library using time machine.
Apple instructions call for locating the file where iPhoto library is kept, and tells you where it is on your hard drive. But I've recently moved my iPhoto library to a dedicated external hard drive, and copied my i photo library there. when i click on it, all the photos are there, but it's an iPhoto library, not a file.
When I go into time machine and click on the date i would like to enter, most of my apps have a circle with a line through it, unaccessible. So: a related question, how would i retrieve a photo file from time machine's previous backup? thank you.

Thank you!
I am trying to retrieve photo uploads from my Android phone. When I last updated my OS, most of these vaporized, leaving only thumbnails. I have had two lengthy sessions with Apple phone support, but still haven't solved the problem.
Apparently I can't go back to July '14 iPhoto in time machine and browse files; i have to copy the entire library.
Which I just did, taking 2 hours.
In order to open the iPhoto library from July '14, I had to first update iPhoto.
When I went into the files, the same problem existed -- photo files gone, only thumbnails there. So now I'm thinking that it's the update that was the problem. This scares me to death, because when we're asked to update, we don't get a menu of preferences to make sure something has been unchecked, like the copy option i had enabled when opening photo files from my phone, which i store in a dropbox folder.
No one at Apple could tell me why this happened, so I have no idea how to prevent it from happening in the future.
That's why I'm trying to create better backups...but i can't figure out deja vu, because it won't open and sync the iPhoto library folder -- it wants me to find the file, and i don't know where it is on the external dedicated photo drive.
I realize this is about six issues, not one. But I'm really appreciative of any help i can get!

Error: unknown entity type 'Archive' when building external library

Using External Library in Mobile Web Dynpro Offline

Hi all,
i would like to use a jar in a Mobile Application for Handheld and i followed the steps from the wiki "Using External Library in Mobile Web Dynpro Offline" at
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/usingExternalLibraryinMobileWebDynpro+Offline
>How to use External Library in Mobile Web Dynpro Offline
>For using external jar in local deployment scenario, one can do following:
>1. In the dc where jar has to be used, add the jar as external jar classpath entry. It can be done via <dc> > (Right-click)> properties->Java Build Path->Select "add external jar".
>2. Do the programming using the jar.
>3. Shut down the mobile client.
>4. Copy the jar in the "lib" folder of mobile client installation.
>5. Deploy the application in the IDE.
>6. Run the application.
>In 5, the jar will not deployed and will be picked from the lib folder during 6.

>Note: This will work on and after SAP Net Weaver CE 7.1 SR3 with Mobile plugins from CE 7.1 SR3 (and after).

Hi,
1) in Development Infrastructure Perspective -> rightklick in Navigator/Projekt Explorer -> new Project -> (Development Infrastructure) Development Component (DC).
NWDS generates Project Ressources e.g. the folder "libraries"
2) copy the jars to the "libraries" folder.
3) rightklick on the newly created Development Component (DC) -> Development Component -> Show In -> Development Properties -> go to the Tab "Public Parts",
in -> "Defined Public Parts" -> klick on Button "Add" -> give a name for "Public Part" -> at "Purpose" select "Compilation" -> Finish.
rightklick on the newly created Public Parts -> select "Manage Entities" and select the jars you want to use -> Next -> Finish.
4) switch to the Mobile Apps for Handhelds Perspective -> in Development Component select e.g. the Service Component or the UI Component ->
rightklick -> Development Component -> Show In -> Development Properties -> got to Tab "Dependencies" -> klick on Button "Add" -> under the Node MyComponents -> select the newly created Development Component with the Public Parts/jars (that was created in 1 - 3).
thats all, now you can deploy your application
