I can't see my library in iTunes for WindowsXP

For quite a while now (over 3 months) I've been unable to get iTunes to see my library of ripped audio tracks. I tell it they're on D:\music but it won't list them. I can't find the setting to bring them back in. It displayed them fine when I first installed iTunes but it won't now.
I just don't know what setting[s] to use to do this if it can be done at all. The setting may just have a name I don't recognize as being to do that.
I've alreadey tried Uninstalling then re-installing iTunes, as well as upgrading to the latest version. I defrag at least once a week.
The D:\ drive is a SATA Type 1 drive the drive itself iself is a Maxtor 300gb with a 16 mb cache if that tells you anything.
I've looked at the help files and they don't even address this problem at all.
please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know.

I can´t see the control of iTunes for Sync my iPhone

Hi, some one knows what can I do for fix it, because I can´t see the menus or controls of itunes for updates some body help pls!!

That link is everywhere as an answer to this question! Well, it is now outdated or dead, and provides no help to people like me whose source list has gone missing. Someone please help.
I have no source list and no cute little bar with cute little dot. It literally looks like they fell off the left side of the iTunes window, and no amount of resizing, dragging, or rebooting will draw them back out.
If anyone knows how to fix this without referring to Scott Patrie, please let me know. In the meantime I will be gouging my eyes out with a plastic letter opener while I rue bitterly the day my boyfriend gave me this crappy iPod. Thank you.

Can't See "My Library" in iTunes 5.0

I just installed itunes 5.0 and on the left hand side where it shows the different playlists, music store, podcasts, etc. there is no text for the library icon, it just shows the icon. When I try to add text, like changing the name of a playlist, it only says "export song list". Any ideas on how to create a name for your library in the new itunes??

I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
Thanks for any comments,
Roger

Okay, so HomeSharing is not working. Most likely due to a network issue.
Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network? Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore. how do i transfer music from the hard drive to my ipod now?

Click on the button for the iPod on the iTunes header bar, e.g.:
or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes 11 will look much as earlier versions did. From there the process is exactly the same.
Regards.

Do the tracks show up in the Recently Added playlist? If so then something has gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem. (Probably adding anything would do.)
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

After an iTunes update I can't access my library as iTunes can't find my .itl file

After an iTunes update I now. Can't access my library as iTunes can't find my .itl file. Any ideas how to rectify this?

Your iTunes Library.itl file will normally be at C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. If it isn't there should it be somewhere else (you ought to know if you deliberately moved it) or is there a Previous iTunes Libraries folder containing backups made during iTunes updates.

Hello moamal,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you connect your iPad to your Windows computer, iTunes does not recognize that it has been connected. For this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article to resolve this.

Can't see my ipod in itunes and my computer

I can't see my ipod in itunes and my computer. There is an error code 10
please help

My problem is almost the same, I went to plug my 60g iPod into my PC USB port, and it locked up my computer and iPod. Now my iPod is stuck on the Do not disconnect screen and hasn't even changed the time at the top, still stuck at 10:05AM. I'm getting kind of upset here. I haven't even had the thing for over a year yet and I keep it in good shape.
Any ideas on how to fix would be helpful.
Thank

iTunes Does Not Recognize Your iPod
Does Windows see the iPod?

I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked

I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked.
It worked just fine last weekend. I have windows 8.1 and a brand new pc, new iPod also, the new Nano. now after the update today, iTunes says iPod has been detected but could not be indentified properly. I can see it in windows. I tried the reset on the iPod also. what else can I do?? HELP

uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Can't see backup library after accidentally deleting library

In trying to free up some hard drive space - it was almost empty - I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto Library, emptying it from the trash. Thankfully I do back up to an external hard drive, and have moved the backed up library back to my Pictures folder. However, I cannot see the library in iPhoto, even when i Option-start the app and "Choose" that library. I only get 95 photos that i have imported since the accidental deletion and moved to that back up folder after re-copying it.
Any ideas why I can't see the Library in iPhoto even after choosing it? I'm not going to have to go through and import every photo am I? (I hope not as they are stored by year/month/day in hundreds of folders).
I would also like to know how to get this to work as I have ordered a new iMac today, and will want to choose the same Library on it too.
Thanks.

HI roger,
Navigate through the iPhoto Library folder and see if all your photos are in there. I just want to make sure that the backup library does indeed have your photos in there. If it does, and iPhoto still can't see your library, maybe a data file got messed up.
In that case, you can create a new library and import from the old very easily by following the next instructions below.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!
