I am logged into my iTunes account but all of my libraries show up empty.

I don't remember messing with the file locations or anything. Any way I can try to recover my music and movies?

Hi goonerforever,
If your iTunes Library appears to be empty, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps in the following article and the articles linked at the bottom (the article is specific to issues after updating iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar regardless of cause):

I can log into my iTunes account but can not access my account details, what's wrong?

I'm starting a new discussion here even though there is really nothing new to add to this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3572699?start=0&tstart=0
I can sign in to iTunes with my apple ID no problem. However when I click account from the drop down menu (by my ID in the right hand corner of the iTunes screen) I get a sign in window in which my ID is filled in but it wants my password which I duly fill in . At this point the window just keeps coming back up for me to fill in. If I fill my password in wrongly I get red text telling me so.
So basically I can't view my account details even though I'm clearly logged in. I'm increasingly worried because If I can't access my iTunes account data how do I know my credit card is not being used by someone else?
I'm guessing it's a problem specific to my machine (MBP running up to date Lion) I'm wondering if it could be connected to the safari cookie problem that affects other issues with pop up windows as documented (and solved) here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3502463?start=45&tstart=0
Only I don't have that problem any more!
Help would be very much appreciated.

Problem solved!
I started to suspect that the problem was with my computer rather than the apple servers.
Reparing disc permissions from Disc Utility seemed like an obvious thing to try but I thought I had done this without it working. However on OSX daily I read..."In mac OSX Lion repairing permissions from the Disk Utility app doesn’t repair the users file permissions"! Hmm nice one Apple- reparing permissions does not repair permissions! It seems that you have to use disc utility from recovery mode.
I then followed these instructions on OSX daily (dot com)
Repairing a Mac Boot Disk with Disk Utility & OS X Lion
Reboot the Mac and hold down Command+R (To boot into recovery)
Select “Recovery HD” at the boot menu
At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select “Disk Utility”
Select the boot volume or partition from the left menu and click on the “Repair” tab
Repair Disk is now possible, click on “Repair Disk” to repair the boot volume
Now verify disk permissions and repair them
This solved the problem for me
Hope it helps......
Am I allowed to award myself a greenie? Well I'm going to anyway because it was a pile of work getting to the bottom of this and I hope it helps others.

How do I get my music back from a computer which has been recently serviced. I am able to log into my itunes account but lost half of my library which was music I imported originally.

I need help. I recently had my cpu serviced by Geek Squad, They completely renamed the CPU and now all of the music I imported is gone. I dont even have my library anymore. I can usually click on itunes and play music from my library. Its all gone. I have authorized this "new" computer for my account but I still dont have my library. I even went in and deauthorized the computer under the old name. I am very frustrated, as i have some songs which were purchased on itunes on my phone but not all of the music that was imported from CDs. Most of which I got rid of once I imported them into my library. all I want is my entire library back. On my old iphone 3g, which I let my kids use, my entire library is there but on my 4gS, i only have the music which was purchased through itunes. I miss my songs and have no idea where to begin with this process.

Your music will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup cop of your computer.
Certainly you did not have our computer serviced without making sure your backup copy was up to date.

I can't log into my iTunes account. I logger out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. Now when i press sign in and then choose existing Apple ID, nothing happens

I can't log into my iTunes account on my iPhone 5s. I logged out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. I then tried to log back in immediately afterwards. I was unable to do so. After clicking "sign in" at the bottom of the apps main page, it brought up another menu where I clicked "Choose existing Apple ID". After pressing this the menu disappeared and nothing happened. I tried this multiple times and received the same result each time. I tried the other available option of creating a new AP ID to log in with and that one worked perfectly fine. I am clueless as to why the log in for me is either not able to load or just completely blocking me from getting back into my iTunes account on my phone. Not only can I not listen to the music I currently have, but I cannot log in to purchase the new music that I wanted to with my unused iTunes gift cards

I have the same problem too and tried alot of things like time zone , restarting or changing DNS of wifi connection to 8.8.8.8 still nothing happens .. !!

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone. Does anyone know how I can get my music? I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

My iPad is logged into my iCloud account, but my wife's iTunes. I have uploaded video footage from my iPhone to my iCloud. It appears on the iPad but is not accessible in iMovie? What's the fix?

You shouldn't have to change your iTunes account to not have to purchase it twice. If your devices are using different iTunes IDs, just purchase it on one device, then import it to your iTunes library by connecting the device to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Once in iTunes, you should be able to sync it to your other device (assuming both devices are syncing with the same iTunes library). (And even if they were syncing with separate libraries, you could use Home Sharing to copy the app from one library to the other.)
Or, am I missunderstanding something?

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

Hi Pat. Thank you for the response. I wanted to use the acrobat pdf to word transfer service. I am from London, Uk and I am visiting Cape Town, South Africa. I need for tickets purposes a document which is in PDF but need to work on it and transfer it to WORD as they do not accept any other format. Its all good I opened a new account and have now transferred the file. Thank you for the prompt response.

How can I log into my itunes account to see if my contacts have been saved on my iphone?

Before I purchase the Iphone 4 I want to be able to Transfer all my contacts, into the new phone. How do I log into my itunes account and check and see if my contacts are there.... and then will a Sync with the new phone automatically add these contacts into the new phone?
I have a itunes account but have only accessed while the iphone 3G is plugged in to the laptop.... How do I access the itunes site without the phone plugged into the laptop so that I can CHECK to see if my songs and contacts are really there?

There are no Contacts in iTunes.
iTunes syncs the Contacts from Outlook.
and then will a Sync with the new phone automatically add these contacts into the new phone?
Yes.

You don't access the iTunes store to see your music (or anything else)..
You launch iTunes and your music is there, stored on yoru computer.
You access the iTunes store to purchase items, which are then downloaded to your computer.

Why can't I log into my iTunes account, Unknown error occurred (-54)

Recently I had my Macbook pro reformatted back to factory conditions. After downloading all the software updates I tried to log into the iTunes store, but everytime I get the message " We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An Unknown error occurred (-54)"
I am able to connect to the iTunes store itself and look around and preview songs. but I can't log in to my account. I have the latest version of iTunes, and I haven't altered any settings in iTunes, so I'm confused as to why I am receiving this error message.
The other discussions and trouble shooting pages referencing the error (-54) seem to all talk about ipod sync issues or not being able to access the store in general. So if anyone has any further insight as to why I'm receiveing it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I found the solution to this on another forum. I was able to fix this by manually disabling the firewall on my mac. From the command line:
sudo ipfw disable firewall
Match will then run fine until I do the corresponding enable or restart the computer.
I don't understand enough about the internals of the mac to know why changing this using the Terminal is more effective than simply disabling the firewall from settings, but it is. If you run this command line, it will make the -54 error go away.

Can I log into my iTunes account through someone elses computer? How..

how do I log into my iTunes account to watch a movie I've downloaded on someone elses computer?

Did you download a movie from iTunes while you were logged into your Apple ID or were you logged into the other person's Apple ID?
By double-clicking the the movie file, it should prompt you to login with the ID that purchased the movie.

Why can't I log into my iTunes account

I am trying to watch a movie and can't -I have enabled cookies and set Safari as default browser - zilch it sends me to a support page with no speciic info besides 'set cookies' - so I try to log into my iTunes account and the log and pass windo pops up and no matter how many times I try to log in with a password that I just reset the pop-up window pops right back up - it doesn't say I entered it incorrectly it just keeps coming back up

Ignore the continued pop ups by using 'cancel'.
Try to purchase a free item. If you are successful then you are logged in to your account.

ATV2 does not have permanent storage. The rental is flushed when the device is turned off or other content accessed. You would need to use your computer to rent (and home-share to ATV) if you wish to store for a later time.

I am logged into my iTunes account but all of my libraries show up empty.
