How to get iTunes to see new photos again

Problem...
iTunes and iLife media browser can't see any photos, albums & events I have added/edited in my iPhoto library since June 2012. Can't sync any new photos to iPhone/Pad/ATV as a result.
mountain lion (10.8.1)
iPhoto (9.3.2)
aperture (3.3.2)
I used to have separate iphoto and aperture librarys, but did a large import of Lightroom library (folders) to aperture library (vain attempt to simplify my life) and then started using that as my combined iPhoto/Aperture library. Didn't notice at the time be this is probably about the time new photos stopped syncing (also did mountain lion upgrade about this time).
After various forum searches ive tried the following...
Deleted iPod Photo Cache folder
Using as iPhoto only library (Aperture library set to new blank library and stopped opeing in aperture).
Rebuilt permissions from iPhoto.
Rebuilt library from iPhoto.
Any help please greatfully recieved, this is driving my nuts my Apple ecosystem is frozen in time?
MCB

Updated to Mac 10.8.2, iPhoto 9.4, Aperture 3.4
Opened library in iPhoto - iPhoto tried to upgrade library and hung, assumed this after 2 hour wait and rainbow wheel (tried 2 times with force quit).
Worried a lot.
Opened library in Aperture - it opened fine and peformed the upgrade in about 20 seconds.
Library also opens in iPhoto.
I can now see my recent events and Photos if I set Sync photos from library to Aperture but not if set to iPhoto.
Im thinking either its something to do with the size of library, iphot seems a lot worse than aperture in this regard or some config or metadata is just frozen in time for iPhoto. Seems like I have a partial solution and will experiment with creating new events etc. in both iPhoto and Aperture.

Itunes music saved on external drive, now have new system. How to get itunes to see my music

I have been saving my tunes on an external disk. I now have a new system. I went in to edit->preferences advanced tab and changed the Itunes Media Folder Location to my external location. I've done this before and seem to remember doing something else but can't remember what.

You need to learn how to type in "external drive" into the search box of the Support pages on this site for iTunes. Once you learn that you will find nifty articles such as this one...

How to get itunes music on new computer

I got a new computer because the other one that I had was not working (only had it for a week) so they replaced it. I have signed onto itunes with my account, but wanted my music that I had from my other computer to be on this library. I also no longer have the computer that was defected. How do I get the music that was in my library onto this computer?

Restore it from a backup or its original source; for iTunes Store music, use these instructions to redownload it through the iCloud.

How to Get iTunes to Recognize New Nano?

Hi,
Let me re-phrase an earlier question that got no response (sob):
I have been using a mini for years, but the battery is nearly dead, so my husband gave me his brand new video Nano. When I connect it to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it. Any tips would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Terry

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I finally got it figured out and maybe the answer will help others in my situation.
I was using the same cord from my old iPod to connect the new Nano to the computer. The computer didn't recogniez the new Nano until I switched out to the Nano cord. Duh.

How to get iTunes to see MacBook Pro as 'Remote Speaker'?

I love Airtunes and streaming my music throughout my home with my iTunes Library. However, I'd love the ability to stream this music to my MacBook Pro at the same time that I'm streaming from my iMac to Airport extremes' throughout the house. I'm unaware as to whether it's possible somehow 'out of the box'?
I'm aware of airfoil, but was hoping there was a 'work around' to enable this using solely iTunes.
Thank you in advance for reply.

Nothing in iTunes or Mac OS X allows this. The only option is Airfoil.

Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

How do I get iTunes to see my music on a server

Hi,
I have alot of music on a seperate server, how do I get iTunes to see this. I have tried adding it as a folder however when I shut the computer down and come back to it again it can't locate the music. Any ideas?

Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers. All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store. Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer. Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing. You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
5 authorizations: Some households have multiple computers. If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized. It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

How do you get iTunes to recognise new/changed Airport names? These Airports have attached speakers.

How do you get iTunes to recognise new/changed Airport names? These Airports have attached speakers. Itunes showes the old names of these Airports but they have been renamed in a newly reconfigured network. Itunes will play through the attached Airport attached speakers. The Airport utility shows the correct new names.

Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

HT1766 Recently i had to get a new computer due to my other one crashing. My question is, i was able to get itunes on the new computer, but it doesnt want to transfer my music library? How do i transfer the music from the phone to the computer?

Recently i had to get a new computer. I was able to get itunes on the new computer and itunes did reconize my phone. BUT, it doesnt want to transfer the music from my phone to the computer? Can someone help, Please??
Thanks

File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one.

Getting iTunes to see iPhone3g

Every time I try to get the iPhone3G to hook up ti iTunes I get this error: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "" because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000035). Any ideas on how to fix

iTunes doesn't "see" new files in a folder.
When you set iTunes prefs to a new location, it will simply put all new music in the library in that location.
iTunes prefs -> Advanced. Set the iTunes music folder location to where your music is on the external.
Go to iTunes menu File -> Add folder to library and select the topmost music folder on the external where your music is located.
This will add them to the iTunes library and keep them on the external.
