ITunes 7.3 can't see 7.2 Libraries. Any workarounds?

Holding Option during startup gives you the option of temporarily using another Library other than the default. My "default" Library has always been in an external disk, with a link to it in the default location ~/Music.
iTunes 7.3 not only looks for a library file with a different name ("iTunes Library.xml" instead of "iTunes Music Library.xml"), but it can't see the 7.2 XML as a proper XML.
WTH?

I have just reinstalled itunes but I can't see my music. Any ideas?

I've just reinstalled iTunes after my laptop was rebuilt.
My account shows my purchases but only a couple appear in the library.
All of my music and playlists have gone.
Any ideas?

Hey Gazda14,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Im not sure what you mean by rebuilt, but if you think you've lost your iTunes media, use these steps to find them.

In my Itunes account, I can not see my list of songs in my files, nor can I look for individual songs in the Itunes store. Basically, anywhere there are list, I can not see them. What can I do to fix this problem?

I am having trouble with my Itunes account on Windows XP . I can not see any list in my music files. The songs are there but I have to click on each song to see what it is. Also, in the itunes store, I can not see any pull down list or use my search bar. This happened when Itunes updated it's look. I can pull it up on my phone and see all of my purchased music. I would really appreciate knowing how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

How can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

Hi,
Can anybody help me out on the follwoing questions
how can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

The data isn't actually stored in iTunes. iTunes is like a card catalog that allows you to access information from the various places that it's stored on the computer. SMS and contact info will be viewable in whatever program you sync contact information. The backup actually keeps the files, but doesn't make them viewable, I'm pretty sure. You can only see the info you've actually synced.

ITunes on Vista can't see Airport Express

As above, really. I've got an Airport Express configured to join my wireless network which works fine with my MacBook Air. iTunes on the Air sees the Airport Express and streams to the speakers it's connected to; but iTunes on Vista can't see it.
My Vista PC is connected by ethernet cable to a DLink router, to which the MacBook Air and the Airport Express connect wirelessly. This setup worked fine with my previous Belkin router.
Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

On your Vista PC, temporarily disable your Windows Firewall. Did this solve the problem?
To disable the Windows Firewall:
o Control Panel > Network and Internet > Windows Firewall
o Turn Windows Firewall on or off

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.

I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?

I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?
This is iPhone 6 latest OS version

Hi ik-graphics,
So you synced a new playlist to your iPhone but it isn't available on the phone?
When you synced the playlist to your iPhone with iTunes, did you have the music set to sync the Entire music library or Selected playlist…?
3. Select the Sync checkbox, then select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
If you had it set for Selected playlist, please make sure the new one is selected to sync.
Take care,
Nubz

Updated to Mavericks and I get the upper left quarter of the screen blacked out on Time Machine. This means that I can't see the files. Any suggestions for getting rid of the black square?

Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

On my iPhone 5 (since activating with iTunes Match), I CAN NOT see all my music. There are artists that I can not see, nor their songs. BUT I can see them on the iPad3 and on iTunes on my PC.

I can NOT see all my songs on iPhone5 since activating iTunes Match about a week ago!
ALL songs are available on my iPad3
ALL songs are available on my Win7 computer iTunes
I just did:
Transfer purchases from iPhone and a Music Sync
NOTHING. Tunes and artists are still NOT SHOWING on my iPhone5\
BUYING another copy makes it available on te iPhone, but at double the price
However, some show as PURCHASED, so I can't get another copy on the iPhone
There are MAJOR PROBLEMS with iTUNES MATCH!
This problems is ONLY on the iPhone 5

It might take a while (30 minutes or more) for the initial sync to finish.
When it finishes, here's how to see all you desktop bookmarks:
# Press the "Search" button on your Android phone, or tap in the Firefox address bar.
# Press the "Bookmarks" button (with a star icon).
# Tap the "Desktop Bookmarks" folder.

ITunes 9.2 on Vista 64 can't see my other libraries

I have a desktop PC running Vista 64, as well as a laptop running Vista 32 bit.
Everything is connected on my home network; some through ethernet, some wirelessly.
The laptop has no issues connecting to my AppleTV as well as my iPhone for the remote app.
The desktop PC can't see the appleTV, iPhone remote app, or my laptop's library (for Home sharing).
The Desktop is recognized on the network, and my laptop can "see" the desktop PC, and the desktop can "see" the laptop. In fact, I can chase music using the windows media sharing option. Both laptop and desktop are even visible on my PS3.
How can I get iTunes on my Vista 64 desktop to see my appleTV and iPhone remote app?
Any ideas?
I've gone through the forums a number of times and tried all kinds of things like opening ports and so on. Nothing has worked.

any fixes ? ):

For iTunes. How can I see how many songs I have selected?

It just a simply question. With the previous iTunes it was possible to see how many songs you selected in the part below. Can I still see it now with iTunes 11?

Upgraded to iTunes 10 now can't see any of my music on (NAS) shared storage

Hi, I'd appreciate any advice anyone can give me. I have an external hard drive (Network attached storage) where I store all my music. As it's on the network it appears in iTunes in the "Shared" section which I can access and play from any of my PCs.
I upgraded my laptop from iTunes 9 to iTunes 10 and now I can still see the device in the shared section but it's empty according to iTunes. I haven't updated the iTunes version on my desktop yet and that can see the music on the shared drive fine. Why isn't iTunes 10 recognising the content of my shared library?

Oh.. and find the firmware update in the first place

I have only seen mention of a beta firmware 4.1.7T49 for the (older) ReadyNAS servers e.g. the ReadyNAS NV+ which includes the iTunes fix. As far as I am aware there is not yet a beta for the newer ReadyNAS servers, e.g. the Pro or NVX. With regards to the Stora range, these are not part of the ReadyNAS family at all and therefore their software may be developed and maintained by a totally different department in NetGear.
I would presume eventually this fix will percolate throughout NetGear but at the moment only the older ReadyNAS have access to it.
This forum might be a good place to keep up to date on the Stora firmware http://forum1.netgear.com/forumdisplay.php?f=106

Why can't I see ALL my music that's on my iphone in itunes? I can only see things I recently added.

I have hundreds of songs in my phone but I can only see a small fraction of what's on my phone when it's plugged into my computer and I'm looking in itunes. It looks like all it's showing are things that I added recently.
How do I fix this?

Hello lintriago,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Where are you looking that you aren’t seeing your music? When you have your device plugged in and selected in iTunes, a sidebar shows up. In this sidebar, “On My Device” includes all of the content types that are currently synced to your device. If you click on Music, do you see the expected amount of content?
For more information on syncing, check out this resource:
