ITunes 6: No music shows up in iTunes after upgrading

I can hardly believe that I am facing the same problems after installing the latest iTunes version (6.0) as I had with installing the version (5.0): All my files have gone and the library screen is completely empty.
With version 5 there exists a document that helped to solve my problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301895
Can I try the same with the new itunes version or will there be a new release of the document or is there any fix around?
Thanks for your help!

I have a similar experience, and haven't solved it yet. I use Windows 2000.
Could it be an internationalization problem?
I think my iTunes 5 was an English version, and iTunes 6 is now in Swedish. My music was stored in, IIRC, c:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes, but iTunes 6 wants it in c:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Min Musik\iTunes. The music is still stored in the first (English) path, but iTunes wants it in the Swedish version.
I tried to change it in the settings dialog, but nothing happened. The instructions in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301895 are a bit complicated, and therefore risky.

IPhone wont show up in itunes after upgrading to leopard and iLife 08

Hello:
For some reason, my iphone does not show up on my itunes after upgrading my mac to leopard and ilife 08. The phone was syncing properly before the upgrade. I also installed all the patches that were available for downloading but I did not try syncing between the main update and patches. I am running itunes 7.6 and had been running 7.5.1 before that. My iphone is on firmware 1.1.2 and I have it set to manually sync. My ipod video is syncing fine but I had that set to automatic syncing.
I checked the system profile and the usb is showing the iphone just fine.
Can anybody help?

Yup. It does work, had the exact same problem, iPhone showed in system profiler under USB, and iTunes would not recognize, reinstall fixed it all. It almost looks like a permission problem after the reinstall to where some .plist files got wrong settings set, repairing permissions might work too.

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

Hi OrangeOAK,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

2. Go to: Start menu > Control Panels > QuickTime.
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. Un-check the checkbox next to "Enable Direct3D video acceleration".
5. Open iTunes.
6. Play the video.

Problem with iTunes after upgrading

Hey guys my name is jake and my issue is so:
i've upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 7.4.3 yesterday and on the same day i've installed quick time 6.5 codec for some work i needed.
now i dont know if the quick time install is relate to it but since then my itunes wont open. it just errors me and ask me if i want to send or not to send eroor report
when running quicktime( the one came with itunes) it says buffer overrun detected
i tried reinstalling itunes few times and tried to install it on older version
nothing has worked. also removed the ipod driver and reinstalled it
havent worked either.
any advices?
thanks ahead
Jake

I recently upgraded to the latest that was offered and I think it was 7.4.1. Have they made a newer one since then??
Anyways, I had a problem immediately. I have a large majority of my music on an external hard drive, and some downloaded music on my computer. After upgrading, itunes would not work, and I discovered that when I unplugged the external hard drive (which contains most of my music) itunes did work and played what was already on my laptop. Everytime I try to plug my external hard drive back in, the same problem occurs: itunes freezes and I have to shut my computer down. I also noticed that it says I have something like 6000 songs and 347 GB! I don't know how many gigs 6000 songs might be depending on length, but there is no way I have 347 gigs of music since I have nowhere near that amount of space on my hard drive and external hard drive nor do I have that much music anyways...no CLUE what is going on here.
I'm afraid to delete itunes and reinstall it because I don't want the downloaded music on my computer to be deleted and I don't currently hve a place to back it up. Have you found any solutions/know what's going on with me??

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

"manually manage music and videos" setting disabled after upgrading iTunes!

Hello every one.
I used to manage my musics and videos manualy , so naturally "manually manage music and videos" check box was always "cheked"
Now after i upgrade my itunes to latest version (11.1.3.8), i find out that option is "Unchecked"!!
So i am not able to copy any music or video or book too my iphon !
If i try to enable that option again, it will clear my libraries and i will lose anything.
Why this happened? what can i do ? any workaround? seems like a bug to me. i didnt do anything just updated my itunes. that option was enabled on my iphone for like 3 years! now i just upgrade my iTunes and that check box is unchecked.
It seems stupid itunes think its another machine and says " it is synced with another library"
Any suggestion please?

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

Mobile apps not showing in itunes after upgrade

After upgrading to iTunes 10.5.1.42, the apps I've purchased no linger show in the library listing. They are still on my Windows 7 machine in the folder ...\music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications. They just do not show in iTunes. Does anyone know how I can get them to show again?

I get to this step in step 5 but I dont have the file/directory
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Where can I download the needed file? I think it is called usbaapl64

Music on shuffle not recognised after upgrading itunes

I have recently upgraded itunes from 7.02.16 to 7.5.0.20. The ipod shuffle is recognised in itunes 7.5, but the music on the ipod does not list in the contents tab. The music is shown as on the ipod in the summary tab, and will play as normal when not connected to the computer. Can anybody suggest a way for itunes to list content?

After searching the forum I finally found that others were having the same problem with the 1st Gen. Shuffle after upgrading to iTunes 7. Even though it was a different iPod Shuffle and iTunes version their solution worked for me.
All I had to do was delete the "Podcasts" folder that had been created for the Shuffle and voila!

Cannot open iTunes after upgrading to 7.3.1

Just traded my mini for a nano and upgraded from iTunes 6. I was able to install 7.3.1 (Windows XP) and sync the ipod so all of my music is on it, no problems. But after I closed iTunes after the syncing I can't re-open iTunes at all-- I get the message:
'The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the iTunes folder in the “My Music” folder'
Please help!! Thanks.

+HOWEVER, once my library finished loading into iTunes, another error message came up:+
+The iTunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1302).+
Okay. It's sounding like there was some problem with the original library file (that you had for the previous version) that has been preventing the library update from going through properly. That would fit with the non-appearance of the new .itl file with the upgrade, and the problems with generating a new library file from the old version of the library file.
So it might be worth trying a library recreation at this point in time. For instructions on that, the following document should be of some assistance.
How to recreate your iTunes Library
After the library recreation, does itunes launch properly? (without the 1302 we got from the attempt to revitalise the old library file?)
