How do I restore my library to a new version of iTunes?

I went to my desktop computer and tried to open iTunes and it said this version had been corrupted, so I downloaded a new version and it is empty, no library, no apps, nothing!  How can I rebuild my iTunes? Can I get info saved from the iCloud?

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

    Onthe top menu
    View > Show Status Bar.
    The grey bar will now appear at the bottom with the info you want

    Use the controls menu or right-click on the shuffle widget for options. Options are to repeat one, all or off. Use the column browser, artists view or search box to limit the display and then use repeat all.

    Yes I have tried installing 7.1.1.5 and still have the same problem. I tried calling support and initial response was "it is Windows XP SP2 problem". After I asked for a supervisor I got another tech on the line who spent 1 1/2 hours with me on the phone formatting ipod, deinstalling and reinstalling all Apple apps as well as renaming drives. Nothing helped. He said he would file an issue with Apple engineering team. I hope they will come up with something. It is very unfortunate that I already has killed so much of my time trying to troubleshoot this issue.

  • If i restore my ipod on a newer version of itunes on another computer, can i still update it on the older version on my computer?

    I can't connect to the internet on my computer and i need to restore my ipod so i was going to restore it on another computer, but wasn't sure whether i'd still be able to update it on my computer because I don't want to have to transfer all my music to the other computer?

  • How do you burn a playlist using the new version  of itunes if no provision is made unlike previous versions. have thaey ( Programmers made a mistake)

    Downloaded latest version of itunes. Noticed that there is no provision to burn a playlist to CD under the file menu as in past versions. Although the help menu still references this function. Is this an oversight ?
    Also noticed that the  new  itune program which interfaces with the iphone 5 , will only play videos bought through itune store. Where previous versions would play any video, or have I got wrong??
    Any help would be appreciated .
    Thanks

    Someone gave me the Mac Format magazine (Jan 2013), which contained a complete guide to iTunes 11.
    One section was "Get the old look back".  It stated that it was possible to tweak the interface to get the old look back by:-
    1.  Be on Music view and select Songs tab at top of window.
    2.  Click on the View menu.  (Mine was hidden, but if you click on the dropdown arrow in the top left-hand corner the option is there to show the Menu Bar).
    3.  Click on Show Sidebar, then click on Show Status Bar.
    This should make iTunes look like the old version.
    Hope this helps others :-)
    Slightly happier Apple!

  • How can i save my Shuffle playlist on new version of itunes?

    I got a new laptop and was forced to load up the latest version of itunes, which for me has worked fine. I connected my first gen. shuffle and married it to my new computer. But on my old computer/version of itunes i was able to keep the "shuffle's playlist" on itunes at all times so it was easy to tweak my songs and then whenever i charged my ipod all the songs would update. now it seems i cannot keep the playlist contents of my shuffle on itunes and have to update the shuffle manually while its connected which takes much more time. Where is the setting to change this so i can see the shuffle playlist all the time?
    shuffle 1st gen   Windows XP  

    It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
    You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

  • HT2905 how do i delete duplicated songs on the new version of itunes?

    somehow the new itunes version managed to duplicate ALL my songs.. and i need an easier way to delete all the duplicated songs.. i now have 3,204 songs and most are duplicated three or four times.. i need some help.
    AN EASIER WAY TO DELETE DUPLICATED SONGS ON THE NEW VERSION OF ITUNES

    Select a song. Hit command-I (Mac) or Ctrl-I (Windows). In the pane which opens select the 'Artwork' tab. Drag an image to the space.
    Or, select an album: same keystroke. In the pane which opens is a space labelled 'Artwork' - drag an image there.

  • HT1589 i just launched itunes and my library is gone, how do i restore my library?

    i just launched itunes and my library is gone, how do i restore my library?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • HT4527 my old laptop crashed how do i get my library on my new laptop?

    my old laptop crashed how do i get my library on my new laptop?

    An external bay is something like this: External 2.5 SATA to USB Hard Drive Caddy Case
    A small Philips driver is usually all you need to access the hard drive in the leptop. You (or a technically adept friend) remove the drive from the old laptop, put it in the bay, hook it up to your new computer and read what can be recovered from it. Your iTunes library would typically be in X:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes where X: is the letter assigned to the drive.
    There's a chance the drive won't work at all, but often it will work for reading data even when you can no longer get it to run your operating system. Seems like a small investment to potentially recover all your lost data, not just iTunes.
    If the drive won't work, then the link I posted earlier explains how you can recover all the media and data from your existing device into a new iTunes library. Once you dont this you can restore the backup of the old device to the new one.
