IBooks library vanished after update

After updating my iOS to the latest version recently, I was dismayed to find everything gone from my iBooks library. Does anyone know if Apple is going to bother to remedy this unpleasant surprise for future updates?
I recommend backing up your pdf books by opening them in Adobe reader or Kindle reader for iPad to make sure important texts aren't lost.

Get your terminology straight ... No - if you did what KP suggested - according to your response - you reset the iPad - you did not restart it. I suggested a restart - and a sync again.
Two different things ...
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You could try quitting all apps and then restart and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
View > Show Duplicates
Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

HELP: library empty after update 11.02.26

Hi,
I just installed the new iTunes version 11.02.26. After I opened iTunes my whole library was empty, playlists, music, video's... It's all gone.
I restarted my laptop (windows 8) to see if that would fix te problem but it didn't work. I als got the error -42110 and I fixed it by deleting the 'SC Info' folder.Than I restarted my laptop again, but still no sign of my old library with all the playlists.
Than I installed the old version of iTunes back to what it was, (11.01) but my library was still missing.
Please HELP if anyone knows how to fix this. I have had days of work to organize my playlists! And I need to synchonize my iPhone for my work as soon as possible without losing any of my settings, music, agenda, etc.
Thank you VERY much!

HELP! itunes arranges the library differently after updating

after updating itunes to 7.0.2.16 the library is arranged abruptly wrong!
the article in band names is taken now into account! for example, 'the who' is now found under 't' and not - what would be correct - under 'w'.
this has not been before and i could not find how to change it correctly!
anyone here who knows how to solve this problem?
thanks
itunes 7.0.2.16 Windows XP

here's the solution!!!!
important is the file: localizable.strings
well, you have to do the following steps:
- go to: programs > itunes > itunes.resources > de.iproj > localizable.strings
(the path is for german itunes. for english versions it has to be 'en.iproj' or 'fr.iproj' for french, respectively. depending on the version of itunes and wether it is a pc or mac the path can differ. important is to find 'resources' and the ipod-settings - in this folder is the marked file)
- copy this file and paste it into your desktop.
- open it with text editor.
- search for Reordered Artist Strings within the file
you'll see the following without the marked paragraph:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
"146.007" = "The ";
"146.008" = "%1, The";
"146.009" = "the ";
"146.010" = "%1, the";
"146.011" = "THE ";
"146.012" = "%1, THE";
this is the region important for the arrangement within the library.
- if you have a none-english version you have to copy the marked paragraph and paste it into the file. pay attention that the numbering is correct!
('die' is a german definite artikel like 'the'. in the french version there will probably be 'le' or 'la'. important is that you have the part with 'the' in this file!!!! same to other languages...)
- i don't know if english versions have this problem, too. important is to have the marked paragraph correctly in this file! check this out!
- paste the edited file into the original folder. it may be a good idea to keep the old file if anything went wrong!!!

New phone...Silent Mode option vanished after update to 4.1.1

Just bought this phone yesterday. Put in Silent Mode while at dinner. It updated itself to version 4.1.1 and now the Silent Mode option is missing under the settings menu. how do I get it back?

IPhoto Library disappeared after update

Just updated to 10.4.9. It appeared to go fine, but when I opened iPhoto, the message came that "Photo Library not Found". Used Spotlight, but can't locate anything. In fact, it seems that the whole Pictures Folder has vanished.
Interestingly, my wife also uses this computer and her iPhoto Library is still in her Pictures Folder, which is just where it should be.
I do have my photos backed up on a DVD, so I'm not totally crazy here, but i would like to know what's going on. Jeez, I'm glad I did back up the photos. I hadn't gotten around to backing up some more recent ones, but i do have the bulk of them on DVD. Anybody have any thoughts?
If no one has any idea where I might locate the photo library, I'll then be asking for help in how to create a new library from my DVD.
Thanks.

I would start by:
• Booting from your Mac's OSX Install Disc and running Disc Utility off of that. This will give you the options to Verify Disk and Repair Disk, possibly repairing a damaged directory structure.
• Alternatively, you can boot into Single User Mode (hold down Command+S after the chime) and type "fsck -f" (sans quotes). This will check your disk for possible data or directory corruption, but won't repair it; you'll still need to boot off of the OSX Disc for that.
• If you've got it, you could use a third-party utility such as Disk Warrior to repair your directory structure, as this can sometimes do a better job than Disk Utility.
Great job on saving your photos with a backup, but I surely wouldn't put them back until you're sure that there's no data corruption on your drive. Also, make sure you back up anything important for ALL USERS before you Verify or Repair the disk. Corrupt data is never fun...
Best of luck,
Chris

Can't open Preview/Calendar/App store/iBooks/Terminal/Mail after updated to Mavericks

After I updated to Mavericks, I can not open Preview, Dictionary, App Store, iBooks, Keynotes, Photobooth, Quicktime, Contact, Calender, etc...
Mail keeps crashing everything I opened it.
iTunes and Safari is still working. Can someone tell me what's happening and how to solve my problem? Thanks a lot!
BTW, I remeber this symptom happened after I used Cleanmymac.

Evi, I have the same problem. When I first updated to Mavericks, everything is OK, but I use Cleanmymac too, It is may be because of Cleanmymac, it cleaned about 1G files.
Now I can not open App Store, how can I download and reinstall Mavericks?

IPhoto Library gone after update to OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

Put another way, how do I get the new "Photos" program associated with the new OSX Yosemite v. 10.10.3 to see my former iPhoto library that is stored on an external hard drive?
Here's the full story:
This morning I updated my MacBook Air to OSX Yosemite v. 10.10.3. The update claimed that it ran successfully. Afterwards, I plugged in my iPhone to sync it to the computer. There were photos on my phone that I'd taken yesterday, so when I plugged the iPhone in to the USB cable, a program launched that I thought was iPhoto (but, as it turns out, is actually a new Apple program called simply "Photos"). I was led through a series of questions, one of which was "do you want to download your photos to iCloud?" I did not want to download my photos to the cloud; first off, I've got like 100GB of photos and second off, even if there were that much space allowed with an iCloud account, I wouldn't have wanted to take the time. After skipping that download-to-the-cloud step, the new "Photos" program downloaded the pictures taken yesterday off of my phone and deleted them from my iPhone as I'd requested. But, when the transfer from phone to computer completed, I was taken to the new Photos program and the only pictures on my account are those that were downloaded this morning from my iPhone.
Because I've got so many photos I keep my iPhoto Library on an external hard drive. I keep two additional external hard drives that back up everything every night. I am not worried about the photos being lost, but I can't figure out how to get the new "Photos" program to go find that library on my external hard drive.
All help appreciated.

To migrate your existing library to Photos is simple: just open it.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You problem is that you will no have two libraries - the converted iPhoto one and the one you created with just these iPhone photos.
So I would export the pics from the new Photos Library to the Finder: (File -> Export-> Export unmodified originals
Trash the Photos library from your Pictures Folder
Convert the iPhoto Library
Then import those photos from the Finder.

Library Missing After Update. Please help!

After downloading the 9.1.1 update, my library went missing. I followed the instructions to a "T" about dragging the iTunes folder to my desktop and then renaming my previous library from the day I made the update (2010-05-23) to "iTunes Library", but it didn't work. Now I don't have the most recent previous library file to even try that again. Help anyone? Thanks in advance

Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

ITunes library reset after updating to 11.0.5. and iPod not syncing

I recently updated my iTunes to version 11.0.5., and after the update all my playcounts, playlists etc. were reseted. All the music's still there, but it's like a just started a new library. I'm very annoyed since I had accurate top lists for the past 4 years and now they're all gone.
Also, my two iPod classics won't sync after the update. iTunes recognizes them and it says "syncing" for a few moments and then completes it, but when I disconnect there's no difference in the iPod. It's the same with both. I tried changing back to iTunes 11.0.4.4. but the problem is still the same.

Hi,
I had a similar problem, all you can do at present to rectify this is to grab your playlist or new created playlist or song from the main library or playlist and drop it into the ipod tab under devices and it will auto sync the changes or songs. Hope this helps.
There seems to be a problem with the syncing of itunes 11 (mine is 11.0.5) when you just use the normal sync method. the above should work and has worked for me when transfering a playlist straight into the ipod it automatically syncs.
Regards.
Nick

Library disappears after update

I updated to most recent version & my whole library pre-update has disappeared. Where did it all go, & how do I get it back???

See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
I recommend you opt not to "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings" at this point in time if you like to keep your old podcast episodes.
