ITunes app empty after update

Hi, I recently updated my iTunes and when I re-launched the application none of my files or playlists were there. I checked my external hard drive where my files are stored and all of them are present. I also checked my preferences to makes sure the location of my iTunes folder was correct, which it was. So is there any way i can reset iTunes to before it was updated by using the iTunes library data files?
Thanks

Launch iTunes while holding down the Option/Alt key on your keyboard. When given the option to create a new library or choose a library, click the "Choose' option and navigate to your iTunes library.

  • Apps gone after update

    Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

    My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update.  Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
    To redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Cannot get itunes to open after updating.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions. 

    Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
    There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.

    iPad 2 can't open App Store after updated to iOS 7, what should I do now? I've been updates to iOS 7.0.4 but it still not working!

    Same as you would do with any battery issue before you updated:  restore the phone as NEW, not using backup at all.

  • Cannot access itunes and the app store after updating to iso6

    have just updated to ISO6 and now everytime try to go to itunes or app store the screen just comes up blank or get a message say it couldnot connect. have tryed resetting date as read that works but didnt for me, have still got maps and facebook ect  they seem to be fine but cant do anything with the itunes and the app store any ideas as i only did the update as the phone said to, so I am hoping there is a way to fix this or else its not worth having an iphone if you are un able to utlitise it.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

  • Why won't my Mail app. open after updating to 10.4.4?

    I updated my powerbook G4 to 10.4.4. After restarting Apple's Mail application refused to open from my dock. I then tried to launch it by double clicking on the icon in the application folder. It pops up a dialog box which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Reopen' button the dialog box goes away and another one pops up which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly after it was opened. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Try Again' button a new window opens called 'New Account' which 'guides' me through the necessary steps to set up my mail account. When I click 'continue' a new window opens which asks for my user name and also my .Mac account password. Once I enter this info I click on the 'continue' button and it logs into .Mac and gives me an Account Summary so it's acting like everthing is okay until I press the 'continue' button and then I get the same error message as before: "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."
    I downloaded the freeware program called Preferential Treatment by Jonathan Nathan in hopes it would remove a damaged Mail .plist file. No dice - no problems with Mail prefrence files according to this software. I'm at a loss of what to do next. I read that someone else had a similiar problem - I don't know what to do next. Any help would be really appreciated as I use my Mail program constantly. Thanks! Oh, also when entering this Post and describing my system the OS menu provided does not allow me to select OS 10.4.4. I'm sure that will be udated soon.

    OK THIS IS WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN 30 SECONDS GO TO SETTINGS>ITUNES AND APP STORE AND JUST SIGN OUT THEN OPEN YOUR BELOVED ITUNES APP BLAM! YOU'RE WELCOME!

  • Can't download anything from itunes/app store after 5.0.1

    I've read a few discussions on this topic but have yet to find any solution that works, so I'm reposting hoping someone has an idea.
    We have an ipad 16gig, and recently updated to iOS 5.0.1. (via WiFi, this isn't a 3G model). Immediately after setting up after the update, the iPad can no longer update apps, download new apps, download iBooks, download songs, podcasts ... basically anything from the iTunes or App store. All are met with the message:
    "Unable to Download (name here) - (name here) could not be downloaded at this time." with a Done or Retry button.
    The same thing occurs for all apps, music, podcasts, etc... same message each time.
    During the setup after the update was installed, we agreed to the new iTunes/App Store agreement, so I don't think it's that case where iTunes can't do anything because the Agree option got lost somewhere. I also don't have any downloads pending that need to be paused.
    Solutions I have tried so far:
    1. Restarting and resetting the iPad, both via the power button, and holding down the power button / home button.
    2. Signing out of iTunes/App store, re-signing in, with two different Apple IDs.
    3. A full restore of the iPad from my computer via iTunes.
    4. Attempting to buy something free from iTunes or the App Store (somewhere this was suggested as a solution). Some descriptions of this solution implied it was to force itunes to ask you to agree to the new TOS, this hasn't happened, and we agreed to the new TOS when 5.0.1 started up.
    5. Resetting my router. Didn't think this was the issue but did it anyway.
    Googling the issue, apart from the above solutions, I've encountered something about "permissions" on a folder to which apps are downloaded being set wrong by the update, but I have no clue how to address that, it seemed to have something to do with "jailbreak" ipads of which this is not.
    I'm about ready to take it to the Apple store but I was hoping I could find something online first, and spare confusing some poor Apple employee.

    I found a solution, and it's horrible.
    1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
    And then,  basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
    3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
    4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
    5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
    But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
    Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
    All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!

  • Iphone 3g sync problems with itunes 9.2 after updating on another computer

    Hello
    I have an old mac which will not allow me to update itunes to 10.x. So I have been updating my iphone via another computer (which apple support to itunes 10.x) and my old mac has been able to see it still and therefore I have been able to backup/update it.
    However after updating to ios 4.2, my old mac has not been able to sync to it and itunes tell me that I have to update to itunes 10.1 (which I cannot).
    Last time I updated, I had to restore my iphone due to various problems (mainly to do with itunes 9.2 allowing me to download the unsupported ios 4.1). I didn't have to restore this time and this maybe what has caused me the problems. Does anyone know whether I can solve my problem of syncing to itunes 9.2 by restoring my iphone and reinstalling ios4.2? Or is ios 4.2 not supported by itunes 9.2 at all and now I need a new computer?
    Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
    Cheers for the help

    Yes, I had the same problem this time and had email communication with Apple about it when ios 4.1 came out. Apple have made it so 10.4.11 is not supported by itunes 10.1, and so stuck with itunes 9.2.1.
    When I had this problem, I decided to update on another computer (as I did this last time). But I didn't have the same problems as before (requiring a restore of my iphone) which I suspect solved the problem I have now.
    However, if the restore doesn't solve this, then I have an iphone without any music on it! Or any of the apps as well.
