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!

How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?

When attempting to log onto the iTunes store, the formatting is wrong, and I cannot purchase anything. Can anyone help?

Earlier this morning, I tried to access the iTunes store on my laptop. It seemed to be loading fine, but when the screen loaded up it was different. I could use the search bar to search for the things I wanted to purchase, but I couldn't buy anything. I've tried restarting the laptop, but nothing seems to have helped. Can anyone give me any advice as to what is wrong with it?

Moved iTunes folder to a shared folder and lost all of my playlists

Any way to recover, I just moved the iTunes folder to the Shared Music folder so that my wife's account on the PC could use the musica as well...any way to find/recover the playlists? If i sync, will it remove them from my ipod?

One cannot move the music folders, rename song files or anything similar outside of the iTunes environment and expect the program to understand what has taken place. You just lose the reference pointers and other music metadata within iTunes.
Move all the music files back where they were, recover your Library and then move the Library within iTunes using the process explained in the link below:

Just downloaded itunes version 10 .2.2 and my iphone has stopped working. now showing fault on itunes asked to reinstall. Why has this happened?

just downloaded itunes version 10.2.2 + Qucktime and my ipohone has stopped working!
I am told there is a fault in my itunes software and I must reinstall.
Why has this happened, is there a fault with this new version?

Whilst I don't have an answer, I hope a knowledge specialist does.I've seen numerous posts like this.After 10.2 update I lost library and haven't been able to actually connect my iphone to itunes for the upgrade. Each time I connect the iphone my system crashes. There was NOTHING wrong with my itunes or system until the point of update. There doesn't seem to be support, despite the extent of this problem. My iphone seems to need an update as its overheating and battery life is a nanosecond. BEYOND FRUSTRATED! All input welcome.

You would need to put everything in itunes, then you can sync to ipod:

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Assuming this is an iCloud mail account, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane, then sign back in with the new password.

I just downloaded Itunes 11.1.4 (64-bit) update and am running Windows 7. Itunes will not run after installing this update and I receive an error message R6034 on Loading Microsoft C Runtime Library incorrectly. Also Error message 1114 the Itunes Installer was installed incorrectly. Is there an new update for this problem? Is anyone else having this problem? Please help. Thanks.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

HT203167 Computer crashed and lost all music. How can I get a listing of all prior purchases and get them downloaded again?

Compaq computer crashed and lost all music that was on the computer. How would I go about getting a listing of all purchased items and download them again? I know when i first got set up it said I could download up to 2 times when purchased and I have only downloaded once. But need a listing of songs as well.

One thing that I also recommend in the future is to back your iTunes library up relatively regularly. You can get your purchases in the cloud just fine, typically, but at the very least, it will save some time by backing it up.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:
