ITunes application has disappeared!

The Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts to start the iTunes application are still there, but when I try to start the program, I get an error message that says, "This action is only compatible with installed components." It seems to be implying iTunes is not installed...where did it go? I didn't uninstall it (that'd be CRAAAZY!). When I go to the apple site to just download iTunes, it will not download. HELP!! I need my iTunes!

You can't delete it.
Is it on another home screen?
Do you have restrictions set?

  • ITunes.exe has disappeared from my computer

    iTunes has been working spendidly for quite some time, but went in today and my shortcut doesn't work to open it.  I used Windows Explorer to find it, and while my library and other peripherals are there, the actual application has disappeared.  Does this have anything to do with QuickTime updates, which I installed earlier today?  What now?  I don't want to lose all my music!

    Download iTunes again from Apple.com and install it. (your Library should be there again).

  • My iTunes Library has disappeared. Help!

    My entire iTunes library has disappeared. From reading other posts I see that this has been an issue. I'm not sure if it's related to AVG antivirus (but I deleted it anyway) or due to iTunes update. I noticed a week or 2 ago but haven't been back in the library since and was hoping that it would correct itself.
    I went into my iTunes library and see that all my music is still located there in iTunes Media and iTunes Music folders--neither folder has all music. The previous iTunes libraries are 4 months old and don't have about 70 new songs, apps, books etc. that were purchased. I know that my iPod Classic has all of the music library located on it but doesn't have the apps from iPad, iPods, and contacts from iPhone. What is the best way to restore this. Please help! I am not techy enough to figure it out.

    Uninstalling AVG won't repair the damage, though hopefully it should stop it happening again. See this post for repair steps.

    You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

    All the music in my itunes library has disappeared any ideas how to get it back?

    Hi bjl1767,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The tips in this article can help with locating your music files:

    If the music is in the iTunes Media folder on your computer, but not in your library, the iTunes library might need to be re-created:

  • ITunes Library has Disappeared

    Turned on the Mac Mini this morning only to find my entire iTunes library has disappeared. The finder indicates space on the drive implying the music is gone.
    Further it appears that my account has been completely recreated - but empty.
    (Desktop back to default - no desktop icons etc..)
    I have backed up the library (80Gb) and can restore, but have lost the last two weeks of additions and ratings. Most annoying... Any suggestions?

    I moved my iTunes to an external drive, and my library disappeared, although both the library data base and all the files were on the external drive (but no longer on the internal drive). I then went to edit/preferences/advanced and changed the iTunes Music folder location. No result. I then selected files/library/consolidate library with no result. I held shift, started iTunes, and instructed the computer where the library data base file was, but this didn't help. I then read the iLounge artice on Transferring your iTunes library and figured out that this was all wrong and should transfer my files back to their original location on my computer. I did so and the library still doesn't load into iTunes. I've spent hours pouring through these discussion forums and nothing seems to apply or work. Any advice?

  • My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone?  Help!

    My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone and also my app store icon.  How do I get them back?  I have reset the home page 4 times and they do not come back.

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen, then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?

  • Entire Itunes Libraray has disappeared

    I opened my Itunes yesteday and for no apparent reason my entire  Itunes library has disappeared. Over 100 thousand podcasts, tv shows, music and by purchases tab are just gone. Has this happened with itunes before? Could a virus have done this? I am really angry with this and is there anything that can be done to fix this and recover everything? Thanks for any help.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup! For example grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes regardless of drive letter or path.

  • My iTunes app has disappeared off my iPad? Does anybody know how to recover it?

    My iTunes app has disappeared off my iPad? Does anybody know how to recover it?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
