I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
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.
Missing tracks
Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I have just downloader Maverickto my iMa. Afterdowloading an update I cannot use my Apple ID as the system is automatically inserting a long defunct ID and will not let me alter it. Is there any help available.

Hi all. I have just downloaded Mverick on to my computer. I also then installed a couple of updates.
I then tried to open iPhoto to be told that I could not open the version on my machine. I then went back to the Apple updates and found one updating I photo.
So I click update and am looking at a box with an apple ID I havent used for three years and there is no way I was able to change it. Strangley when logging on to this support community site I was able to enter my current username and password thus enabling me to ask for advice. I am not a great compter expert and have somewhat defective eyesight which accounts for the mistype in community name.
Any advice gratefully received.

Hi Apple ...(you are not),
Welcome to the Support Communities!
There are a couple of places where the Apple ID is used, so the first thing I would suggest is to go to the appleid.apple.com website and make sure everything is up to date there. Then, sign out of your iTunes Store Account and sign back in with the correct Apple ID and password. Finally, look at the settings for your Computer Administrator account and make sure that is correct as well. I'm including a few articles for you that explain this information in more detail.

I have just downloaded a free app and there is no icon and it will not open from the list even tho it appears to have downloaded and the "open" button is available. Does not show up when I search for it. Plenty of memory . . .

I Have an iPad mini running iOS 7.1.2, I downloaded a new app and it's icon does not appear anywhere ( have ~ 180 apps so not at limit) and it won't open from the purchased apps list. It does not show up when I search for it so can't open t that way either. It doesn't require iOS 8. Can't delete and reinstall, cause not icon. This is not a normal "app won't open" question. it doesn't start the. Stop it just doesn't seem to exist. Any help is appreciated

I have just downloaded a new video and ever since video has malfunctioned

I purchased a free episode from itunes and ever since I dowloaded it I cannot watch that video or any of the others I have previously downloaded. Whenever I try to open the video the entire itunes program freezes up- it does not even show a black screen which usually preceds the episode...what do I do? After buying a season pass this is most distressing.

An error occured while attempting to creat the directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\ca.lproj\AppsPlacard.nib
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I have just downloaded Firefox 8.0 and I am STILL getting plug-in container.exe crashes! Is anyone planning to fix this problem? EVER?

EVERY time I go to Yahoo.com, and quite often when I go to other sites, I get the following error message from Firefox:
''''''plugin-container.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'''''
I know I'm not the only one who has had this problem as I've seen other questions about it. The only suggestions offered are to go to an EARLIER version of Firefox. Why wasn't this problem addressed in version 7? And why has it been ignored yet again in version 8?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See:

If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

I can not see photos when I connect my Iphone 4s to PC but can see photos from other iphone 4s. Both phones uses same OS version. Any setting is difference?

I can see folder as Apple Iphone & also see how much harddisk is full but no acess photos. When clisck to download photos optin error message pops up "NO new photos"

are you using the same Apple ID on both devices? If so, that is the problem. Its much like trying to call your own phone number with a regular phone, you'll be forwarded straight to voicemail.
let me know if this helps.

I have just downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it has deleted my Delicious bookmarks. When I try to reinstall Delicious it tells me it is not compatible with Firefox 4.0. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance. Michael

It also tells me that AVG is not compatible but this programme has not been deleted.

Yes, I have a second computer running Mac 10.4. The download does not warn that Firefox 4 will not run on older versions of OS X and I can find no access to older versions of Firefox via the Mozilla site. The link given by TonyE to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html states that 3.6 will be maintained "for a short time". I suppose it will make Apple happy that Mozilla are marketing 10.6 for them. The Firefox 4 download link needs to advise compatibility.

My iphone 3gs is not communicating with itunes and in windows there is an exclamation mark

my iphone 3gs is not communicating with itunes and in windows there is an exclamation mark next to the usb device. tried removing itunes and reloading, all softwares up to date. just got a new iphone 4s which is on charge but not switched on and used.

For Windows Vista/7 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
For Windows XP http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
Make sure you follow these instructions completely with the phone disconnected from the computer. After the reinstallation, reconnect the phone and it should load the new USB driver.

Songs stored in the cloud have a exclamation mark next to them??

I want to cancel my subscription to iTunes Match and need to download all my songs (over 10,000).
The problem is, that there is an exclamation mark next to 90% of the songs stored on iTunes Match.
In order for me to download a song I have to double click the track with the exclamation mark, which gives me this error message:
'The song “SONG NAME” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?'
and then click cancel. Only then will the song show a cloud icon with an arrow and the song will begin to play and I can choose to download it.
This will take forever to double click every song one at a time and press cancel to the error message. Is there a way to have iTune recognize the songs on iTunes Match only, and not on my computer?
Im using the newest version of iTunes (12). Any help is appreciated.

PERFECT! This is exactly what I was trying to do. Now everything is available for download. Thanks Jimz!
One more thing to mention....I tried updating the tags with the files set in their location on my hard drive, in hopes that it would push those updated tags to the Match library. But in reality, it is the opposite. When you update the ID3 tags this way , it is only updating the locally stored file's information. Once the server syncs with iTunes Match, the local copy you just edited is overwritten with the the songs ID3 it had when originally uploaded to Match.
The only way I found to get around this is to move the local copy (not delete from within iTunes because it will just re-reference the local file once you select or play the song from the Match Library) , and then directly update the ID3 tag which was originally uploaded to iTunes Match.
The iTunes Match server seemingly has a file structuring system as with local iTunes (aka, the same problem I was having) because even if you delete the iTunes Match file/song, edit the local ID tag, then re-upload the same file again with the new tag information that you changed, it still remembers the old version of the file's information that you just deleted. Hence, iTunes Match's one of many Wonkinesses.
I tried every other possible way to update the ID3 tags and that was the only way that nothing was becoming overwritten in the syncing process.
For anyone reading this, your best bet is too 100% have your ID3 tags the way you want them before uploading anything to Match. If not, youre going to have a **** of a fun time changing anything afterwards. Unfortunately, I did not figure this out until after I uploaded 1000s of songs.
Thanks again for all your help!

TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library. Also, I can't add new files.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them. Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library. It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine. I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing. Hope someone can help me. Thanks

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

HT1386 I am re-building my iTunes library, but still have all the content on my iPod Classic. I have just downloaded some songs from the store and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when i attempt this the message asks if I want to delete all content on t

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
BTW this is the iPod touch forum
