Hopefully you have the library files on the drive too, or access to the original computer where the library still works. See Make a split library portable.

I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.

Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.

If you have Windows 7 Pro you can try to install CS3 in XP mode.

It sounds as if you purchased the app, but you also purchased some subscription within the app. You say "Apple is charging monthly", but it's probably the app writer that is charging you monthly for some subscription you purchased within the app. Contact the app vendor and tell them you want to stop the subscription.

How do I get iTunes to read and import track information?

How do I get iTunes to read and import track information from compilation CDs? Typically, the compilations have been burned to disk using iTunes or Toast 8 Titanium. I have checked data boxes as available with both softwares. My REGA Planet CD player as well as my car CD player can read the track info but neither my nor my friends' iTunes can read the tracks for importing.

I don't believe that iTunes can read CDText.

How do I get iTunes to read music from two drives?

I recently bought an external hard drive for my laptop to transfer some of my music files that I don't use a lot. I have transfered these files but when I go to play them from iTunes it can't find them and I have to manually locate each song, after that is done iTunes knows where it is at but there has to be an easier way than doing this for a thousand songs!!??

Mike,
This is just a little beyond the reach of iTunes at this time.
The correct way to move files to another drive is described here, but this only works when you want to move ALL files to the new location.

Why am I all of a sudden getting storage full messages on my phone? I mean I knocked almost all the programs off and a ton of pictures,and yet I can't even store all my music on my phone like I used to! What changed? I

I mean I have taken it almost bare and stripped a lot of pictures off but I never, ever had an issue like this. Bad enough it won't even let me get all my music on!
What gives? I gotta pony up $20 to get all my stuff back to how it was?
Any hints, helps would be greatly appreciated!

Have you done a reboot since taking all the stuff off - hold both the home and power buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

I recently uninstalled itunes to fix other computer issues. I was told I was able to reinstall and through my apple account could retrieve all my music.. I just don't know how. Can someone please help me? Thanks

I recently uninstalled itunes to work on other computer issues. I was told I would be able to reinstall itunes, and through my apple account retrieve all of my music. I just don't know how to do that. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

okay, I figured it out. But for anyone else with this same issue. Open up your itunes. On the panel, on the left hand side, click downloads. It won't show your old stuff, but on the botttom right hand side, there will be a button you can left click that reads "download previously purchased" and everything shows. You just select all and confirm download. YAY! Glad I got my music back :-) Hope this helps

How do I get iTunes to recognize my external, wireless-networked hard drive (Western Digital) during installation and set-up of iTunes?

Hello,
I'm re-installing iTunes for Windows 7 (64-bit) due to a bug that occured with the iOS7 update. The Genius Bar recommended that I uninstall and re-install iTunes from scratch. All of my music is located on a WD external hard drive that's connected wirelessly to my PC. I didn't have this problem until the iOS update for iphone 5, v.7.0.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I didn't relate this; now iTunes will not install on my PC when pointed to my external, wireless-networked hard drive. It appears that it doesn't recognize it.

How do you get iTunes to look at songs on only one drive?

I have my main music on the C: drive and a backup on the G: drive. I only want it to see the music on the C: drive.

NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

How do I get iTunes to read from my external drive?

Ok, before you post this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748 please read this. That link only seems to give advice if you have your music on your computer's hard drive and you want to transfer it all to another drive. My problem is that all of my music is currently on an external drive. There is nothing to transfer or consolidate from my computer. I've gone into the preferences and set the iTunes music folder to the location on my external drive. The part about consolidating doesn't seem applicable in my case. So now that I've set the location of my iTunes music folder why isn't anything showing up in my iTunes library? Why can't I play any music?

So have any of this "external" music ever been added to iTunes? If not, go to File>Add to Library. Then navigate to the external hard-drive folder that contains the music.

I have a 32GB thumb dr and I wanted to encrypt it. I used disk utility, Partition, apply. Then went back and tried to encrypt it and it still ask that GUID be setup on it. What must I do now, or how is the better question?

Tony, Make sure you are in Songs view. Then View > Show View Options, and check the boxes for "Bit Rate" and "Sample Rate." See picture:
