How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro.
Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files. If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud. Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

How do i get Itunes to sync songs/apps that are "unauthorized"?

I forgot my passcode then had to reset my iPod touch, this was successful. Then in the syncing process some of the songs and apps were not syncing because they weren't "authorized". I hadn't purchased these items on my iPod. The window that had showed up said to go to store and then authorize computer. I did this, and the same window popped up and again, and again. How do i get itunes to sync these songs/apps that are un "authorized"?

The problem here is that iTunes wants to make sure that the songs that were purchased are sent to the same device that purchased them. In this case, you would need to authorize your computer first. This is as easy as opening iTunes, find "store" in the upper status bar, and select Authorize This Computer. A dialogue will pop up asking for your iTunes ID and your password. Enter the ID you purchased the songs with. Afterwords, you should be able to sync the songs.

Including going through all of Step 5? That can take some time, and should fix the problem. You have also removed and reinstalled iTunes following the steps in this support document? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 As a last resort, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376

How can I get iTunes to recognize my iTouch? And I can't force restore, error 1611. Help?

My iTunes does not recognize my iTouch and I want to restore it to factory settings. I am not able to restore due to an error 1611. What does this mean and how can I get my iTouch to work again, currently it won't even start to charge.

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

How can I get itunes to recognize my 7th gen. ipod nano

My wife bought me an ipod nano the other day and I am unable to get itunes to recognize it in the device menu. I have spent over 2 hrs attempting differnt suggestions with no results. I down loaded the newest version of itunes and when I plugged in my ipod nothing popped up and I was never given a chance to set it up. When I open the side bar there is no device option to sync music to the ipod, so what can I do?

Wile connected to your computer:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.
That is a reset and your nano should show up.

How can I get iTunes to recognize information imported from media as audiobook vs album?

I imported a series of audio cd's that contained lecture material into iTunes. It sees these disks as albums not as a single set of audiobook portions. Therefore, everytime I listen to a portion of the lecture material, I have to remember exactly what disk and track I left off on. However when working with audiobooks, iTunes apparently knows to place a bookmark where I left off so that when I choose the book, it starts where I left off. How can I get this behavior for my lectures?

If they're MP3, use iTunes to convert them to AAC (M4A) and then use a batch renamer to change the extension to M4B. THEN they'll stay where you left off.
If they're AAC already, then just change the extension to M4B.

How can I get iTunes Store to remove a stranger's episode from my podcast?

I was so happy to see my podcast produced in Podbean was accepted by the iTunes Store. However, there are two mistakes. How can I get them corrected?
(1) Another individual's podcast was added along with my three podcasts episodes. It doesn't look like mine; it doesn't have my organization's name, it doesn't have the same title. Then his book was also added.
(2) All three of my spiritual podcasts have "explicit" besides them (but his Christian church episode does not). There is nothing explicit and no curse words in any of my spiritual podcasts. They are child friendly.
How can I get theese errors corrected? Thanks.

If the Denon shows in airplay mirroring you can just turn on mirroring and get the sound. Otherwise try System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and choose the Denon there. Any system sound will play through the airplay device. I don't know why apple doesn't just give an airplay option from the menu bar sound icon to make this easier.... seems like they are pushing people to mirror

How can I get songs back on an album that are lost?

I recently bought an album on itunes and it downloaded on to "family" account. I then downloaded my purchased content on to my phone with no trouble. When I later went to listen to the album, I could only listen to 1 out of the 12 songs. All the other songs were there but they had red circles next to them with stop buttons in the middle. Its rather annoying as it means that I've basically used up £7.99 of a gift card on one song!
Does anyone know how to get them back?

A few things to consider:
When you delete songs directly from your iPhone iTunes assumes you do not want those songs on the phone so when you sync with iTunes again it wil not automatically recopy them.
With that being said I have to ask how your songs are setup to be synced:
1) "Entire music library" - If this is the case you will need to uncheck sync music in itunes, let it wipe the songs off your phone and then re-check sync music and let it copy all the songs back again.
2) "Playlist" - if you are syncing music only by playlist you can uncheck the playlist that is missing the songs, save the changes and then re-check it again forcing it to resync the songs you deleted.

HT1727 How can i get my old downloaded songs back that were purchased from my account to a new computer?

I deauthorized all my old computers to make it so my sister and I could get ITunes on our new computers, I authorized my computer now and i will authorize hers tomorrow but its not showing my past purchages on itunes in my library. How do I get my old songs back?

Have you copied them from your old computer via one of the methods described on the page that you posted from ? Your music will only show on your new computer's iTunes library if you put it onto it, so you will either need to copy it from your old computer, from your backup of your library and add it via File > Add To Library, or (depending upon whether you are in a country where you can re-download music and if the music is still in the store) you might be able to re-download your purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your new computer.

How can I get a list of all apps that I have ever downloaded?

I understand that I can go the the iTunes account info, but the information is presented in a format that is plain unusable.
Is there a way I can view this information and compare it to the apps that I currently have on my system?

Itunes>Store>View My Account>Purchase History.
That's about it unless you've saved the emails you get every time you make an itunes purchase.

How can I get a refund for an app that doesn't work?

I just purchased "DVDRipper Pro 3.2.19. However, it just doesn't work. I was unable to get contact with the developer website to ask for support. Could anyone tell how can I get refund from App Store. Thanks.

Refunds on downloaded software are virtually nonexistent.
I have had cases where I purchase software on a physical disk. If I don't like the software I can uninstall it from my computer and sell it legally. Recouping most of my loss.
