HT1203 I am trying to restore my iTunes library after updating to latest version. How to I get to the iTunes library? I am using Firefox. users\username\Music\iTunes did not bring me there.x

Just updated to latest iTunes. My library is missing playlists, some playlists are incomplete. User\username\Music\iTunes did not bring up a link to restore my library. Using Firefox, Windows Vista

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!

    I can't get any of these, it's impossible for me to.
    HELP PLEASE.

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • After updating to latest version of itunes i get error -3212 when trying to connect to itunes store, says not connected to internet.  But internet status is ok and can use browser

    just updated to the latest version of itunes for windows.  i can't stream any of my radio stations and when i try to connect to the itunes store i get an error -3212 message saying i'm not connect to the internet, yet my browser works and my wireless status is ok.

    I also had this issue when one day itunes stopped working for me on windows 8...
    the error message I received first was: C:Programme files\common files\Apple\Apple Push service.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error.
    followed by: ITunes not installed Error 7 (Windows error 193)
    Your response addressed how to fix this issue with earlier windows operating systems, but not for windows 8, so what ended up working for me was your advice applied a little differently. For anyone running windows 8 needing to know how to resolve this issue by repairing the Apple Application Support program, try following these simple steps - what a relief it was to have itunes working again after applying b noir's answer to the windows 8 operating system!
    1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Control Panel.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.)
    2. Click the Programs and Features icon.
    3. In the list of programs and features, find the Apple Application Support feature and click to select it.
    4.  In the gray title bar above it, click Repair.
    5. Approve the window prompts that follow until the repair has been completed.
    6. Relaunch iTunes.
    Hope this helps & good luck!

  • I keep getting this message when trying to view iphoto:  your library is unreadable or damaged.  how can i get into viewing my library?

    I keep getting this message.  How can I view my photos?

    Have you tried restoring from your back up?
    If that's not possible:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Cannot launch itunes in windows 7 after updating to latest version

    After Upgrading to Itunes 11.1.5.5 on Windows 7 64 bit Itunes is not launching, tried to start up in safemode no luck, any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    No Error Message, Nothing happens,
    Many thanks.
    Doublechecking. Have you worked through the further steps from the following document? (Determining whether or not the error is user-account specific or systemwide, and then moving on to the user-specific or systemwide general troubleshooting procedures depending on whether or not iTunes launches in the other user account?)

  • Home sharing not working after update to latest version of itunes

    Prior to the latest update I was able to properly share items across Home Sharing from my main computer to the laptop and back.  Now after updating to the newest version on all there is no longer the option to download items acoss into the other machine on my home network. 
    I am looking for a solution or a update to fix this as I like being able to pull items from the home system into my MacBook Pro for travel viewing.

    Not using anything on my MacBook Pro like Norton.  I have replicated the issue on a XP machine, Win 7, and Snowleopard installed Hackintosh (yeah I did bad things to a Dell netbook) and none of them can do the importing like they were able to prior to this new version.
    Home Sharing works in that I can see the files but can no lonnger import them like you could before this lateset update. So Norton or the port change has nothing to do with it best of my knowledge.  It looks like Apple needs to fix this in a update to iTunes (and fast) .

  • Can't sync music after updating to latest version of itunes.

    everything syncs but my music after upgrade. songs only show up in icloud and are not synced when i connect my ipod touch to my pc. how can i fix this?

    After upgrading to 4.0b5 today, my sound is acting very strange also.
    I run my audio out via the headphone jack, and now when FireFox should be playing a sound - suddenly the audio is routed through the computer speakers for a second and then it switches back to the headphones.
    Everything is playing through the headphones fine, but when FireFox has audio to play - it routes it through the computer speakers instead and then toggles back over to the headphones.
    Note - the FIREFOX sounds do NOT play when this happens, but any audio im playing on the computer other than with FireFox DOES play when it switches back and forth between the computer speakers and the headphone jack.
    As others have mentioned I also got that error message after updating that said 'Alert' and something about a process that could not be completed, or something to that effect. I searched the message earlier and it said there was an fix in the works for it already - I hope the fix for whatever that was will fix this funky audio problem.

  • The right scroll bar down arrow is inoperative on Gmail tab. This problem appeared after update to latest version of Firefox. Is there a fix?

    The down arrow on my Gmail tab does not function. If you click it the cursor changes and no movement of the scroll bar occurs.
    Other tabs have the "dotted" section of the down arrow below but not in the down arrow itself. The down arrows still work except for Gmail tab.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Hello Bethandfive,
    You may need to restore the iPhone while it is in what's called 'recovery mode.'
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Notes:
    In certain situations, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue. If your device is already in recovery mode, you can attempt to restore using iTunes.
    Cheers,
    Allen
