If I have 96 GB in my iTunes folder, why is nothing appearing when I open iTunes?

When I open iTunes from the dock, I get a brand new looking iTunes. There is nothing in my iTunes library and no playlists in sight. Yet from the Finder I can see there are 96 GB worth of audios inside my iTunes folder.
I have been to the Genius Bar twice and followed their suggestions and both times I was unsuccessful.
My iTunes folder is confusing for reasons I won't go into here. It contains a bunch of iTunes library files as well as the following folders:
Album Artwork (which contains a Cache and Downloads folder - both of which are empty)
iTunes Media (which contains the following folders - Automatically Add to iTunes; Downloads; Mobile Applications; Movies; Music; Podcasts);
iTunes Music - empty
Previous iTunes Libraries (which contains a bunch of Library files from different dates)
I can see all my music in the Music folder within the iTunes Media folder.
Anyhow if there is anyone reading this that can help sort out this mess, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Cherylin

Because you do not have enough to cover the cost of the app and the taxes.

  • I have yahoo email and it downloads, but there is nothing there when I open it.  Does anyone know how to get the message?

    I have yahoo email and it downloads, but there is nothing there when I open the message. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    First of all, thank you for your patience, this is driving me nuts, can't imagine what you must think right now....
    I made a screenshot that hopefully clears this up:
    On the left is what I see when I open up Finder preferences, and then the Sidebar tab. As you can see all boxes are checked. The Middle folder that is open is what I see when I open Finder from the taskbar. which is fine by me. On the right however I have opened Macintosh HD. And as you can see, there is no sidebar, it just opens up with 4 folders.
    Weirdly enough, when I tried to add a photo to my apple ID just now, the sidebar came up just fine. And I have found that it does that with more programs. So it is literally only when I open up Macintosh HD that it wont do it. I hope this clarifies it a bit more.
    and to answer this question:
    I'm not quite sure I understand. Is the sidebar layout you showed me not the one you want? Because if it is the one you want then you should just close the preferences window behind it.
    this sidebar only pops up when I open the preferences - general - show in new finder  part and then choose 'other'. I cant close the preference window behind it, because then it will close that pop-out folder as well..

  • HT1399 Hi! The "chapter" menu does not appear when I open a book in itunes. How can I make it appear?

    Hi! The "chapter" menu does not appear when I open a book in itunes. How can I make it appear? In fact, one time it did appear, but it seems to have been more of an incident.

    Books are meant to be read on your Devices through iBook App and will not work on iTunes.

  • I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash.  I would like to add saved, how can I do this.  I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.

    Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
    is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
    any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
    get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP)  and configure
    your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
    gmail account.

  • I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?

    You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.

    Thanks for info:
    A. Backup before doing anything advanced is recommended but not widely used.
    B. Upgrade on vanilla plain (and updated) operatiing system goes flawlessly. Upgrade on "real" computer may depend on "status" of operating system and applications installed. You may not be the last experiencing troubles.
    C. Software vendors expect that users has nearly unlimited disk size, large memory and latest processor.
    D. It is on you to find anything positive to compensate annoyances. Mental balance is in your hands ;-)

    I have set up Time Capsule to use with Time Machine but when I open Time Machine it 'cannot find' the Time Capsule and I have to 'Select the Disk' each time. In the Next Backup tab it always says "When disk is connected" even though the disk is already connected.

    Your pro doesn't matter.. I presume it is happily working.
    Your imac setup has got messed up because you changed from a local (my book being USB type I presume) to network drive. Did you do a clean install of Lion?
    Did you use the backup from the Pro on the imac? Otherwise I don't see how the Pro shows up in use previous disk. Where is Pondini when you need him??
    You cannot download Time Machine as an App and replace the current version. It is built into the OS.. the only way to do it is a clean install. Unfortunately that might be the only way around the issue.
    There is a number of issues that Pondini has covered in the setup issues of troubleshooting.
    This is the most relevant I think. http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
    But look at the whole section B setup problems.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    If it was me, I would store all the info you need.. not using TM but using a straight copy of files.
    Then clean install Lion. I doubt any of these issues would exist if you had not installed Lion over existing setup or used a different backup.
    See if you can get Pondini to respond.. !!

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • HT5132 The pop up appears when I open aperture, I do not have a mobil me account with photos and the sync never seems to start and the dialogue box will not go away. How do I get rid of it?

    When I open aperture a pop up appears that tells me that my mobil me photos will be moved. When I click OK, nothing happens and I have left it for hours. I can not get rid of the pop up and I can not get out of aperture. I have to force the computer to shut down. Any thoughts?

    Quit Aperture - force quit if necessary (or try this:
    If Aperture is unresponsive, how to avoid force quitting?
    Launch Aperture again. When the panel appears, press the "Learn more" button, not o.k.
    Then use the "File > Web Accounts > Manage Web Accounts" menu entry from Aperture's main menu bar and remove "MobileMe" from the list of accounts in the accounts pane by pressing "-".
    If the above does not work, disconnect the internet (Wi-fi, Ethernet, whatever you have), before you launch Aperture again. Now the panel should no longer appear.
    Also sign out of MobileMe in the System Preferences Mobile Me tab, to stop the panel to appear again.
    Good luck

  • What does "you have data to Sync, go to TOC and press Sync" mean when I open the Bible  1 App.  I don't know what "TOC" is

    When I open my Bible +1 App the following appears - extremely too brief to read once - "you have data to Sync, go to TOC and press Sync.." on my iPad.  I don't know what TOC is, or where to go to Sync my data.  I also don't know WHAT data I have TO Sync.  Also, is there an Instruction "manual" so-to-speak that explains more about the latest update from November 27?  I'm working off an iPad 2 which is my ONLY piece of computer "anything" so all I'm woking on is my iPad.  I also do not have access to any person's lap top or  computer.  Can you help me?

    Went to Google, tonefox, and found the information.  As I told Meg, I am still "way over my head" with computers and still have to remember that you can 'Google" pretty much ANYTHING.

  • My itunes library does not appear when I open iMovie

    When I have iMovie open and want to add a song from my iTunes library, my iTunes library does not populate.

    the reference to the Apple memo did not work for me. I am not sure whether my identical problem was preceded by the Apple upgrade of iTunes, OR the back-up I did two days ago to an external drive.
    In any event, the instructions did not match my hard drive configuration, so I just decided to restore iTunes via Time Machine. Now I have my library back!

  • ITunes Library does not appear when I open Itunes

  • My homepage is Yahoo.ca and used to appear when I opened Firefox. All of a sudden it doesn't although my preferences say that it should. To get to Yahoo, I have to open a "new Page" and then Yahoo appear as a tiny page which I then have to enlarge.

    I am not so computer literate as to add much more information than I have already. Unfortunately. One day Firefox opened with my homepage and then, later in the afternoon, it didn't. I had a younger person check it out but she couldn't figure out why the change.
