Itunes can no longer find artist or album name

I have not seen this exact problem on the forum. I upgraded itunes yesterday to 10 and then when I synced my ipod touch, almost all of the artist names and album names disappeared. I tried several times to get info and this retrieved some of the information but now it says that it can't get the track information for music not purchased from the itunes store or ripped through itunes. The problem is that all of my music was either purchased from itunes or ripped through itunes except one album. Does anyone have this same problem or can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.

I subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music

i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music

Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music.

After yesterday's "upgrade", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library. It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it.

After yesterday's "update", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library. It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it. What gives? And why does Apple force these constant updates that just screw up everything? It was all working fine yesterday before I ran the update.

Does anyone know where I can get support for this issue?

Apps on computer but in a different folder. Can I merge them?I have 180 apps that iTunes can no longer "find". They appear in "my apps" and there is a file location for them. Can old purchases be restored without doing each one individually?

That did the trick! Thank you.
The free trial is all I needed to migrate my iPod Touch library into my main iTunes library. For those that want to use this tool for the same needs there are some things that need to be moved manually, e.g. Apps. But you can do it within the program very easily. Also iBooks/PDFs etc. need to be moved manually. The help section will point you in the right direction.
No more switching iTunes libraries for me.

ITunes can no longer find my iPhoto - no iPhone photo sync ability...help!?

Hello...okay, some data - I am currently running Lion and all the latest software updates, I am also running multiple users on this iMac, I am also sharing the iPhoto library using the "Shared Library" method. My wifes iPhone (via her own account on the iMac) does access the iPhoto library properly from iTunes and she IS able to choose certain albums to sync (instead of the "All photos,..." option). I cannot. Please see the screenshot I took:
Please note that the "Selected albums,..." option is greyed out and despite the radio button on "All..." being selected, no photos sync, ala, the error message.
It's as if my iTunes account no longer sees the Shared iPhoto file and refuses to "reconnect" to it...
iPhoto runs fine and launches from my account without issue...even launches when I connect my iPhone and download photos and videos. So, like I say, I feel like it's iTunes no longer thinking I have a valid iPhoto running.
Both my iPad and iPhone give me this message. Think it has something to do with permissions, but have run a permissions fix both from the Disk Utility and from booting holding down the Command +R method, and then using Utilities, Terminal and Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
I feel like my whole user account is kinda screwed ever since the migration to Lion, but a Lion reinstall did not fix it and I am not quite ready to start from scratch with a new userID...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

ITunes can no longer find my files from external Library

I have a PC using Windows 7, I have had my iTunes library stored on an external drive for ages and it has been working brilliantly. I have recently done some updates both for iTunes and my 3rd gen iPad, tried to sync some different movies to my iPad and iTunes can't find my files any more. The location of my library had reverted to the local drive, I tried to change it back but to no avail. The files are still on the external drive, when I try to open them with iTunes manually, iTunes tries to open but then says a problem has occured and it must terminate, it offers to find a solution online but (after the first time when it said an update was available to fix the problem and i downloaded it) it then just closes. The version of iTunes is 10.7.0.21 on the iPad, I am running iOS 6.0.1

I purchased a song in the past and now I am trying to buy the album but I can no longer find the album.

i Purchased Aaliyah -rock the boat a while back and now I can no longer find that album in iTunes along with some other good songs by her. The name of the album is Aaliyah

It's possible that the rights-holder has removed the album, and her other albums, from your country's store. Is the album available on other music download purchase sites that you have access to ? Or is the CD available ?

Help! (please :) I have a 1GB iPod that's loaded with music for which my computer can no longer find the original files-due to external mass storage crash during recent move. Is there a way to import iPod music back into my iTunes library on computer???

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?
That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
Thank you.

Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library. As Terence Devlin said:
File -> Relocate Masters
What you should set up:
Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

I can no longer find my apple TV with my iTunes, need to pair them, suggestions?

Hi, I can no longer find my Apple TV with the new version on iTunes (i'm on OS X) on my computer, I need it so I can pair the Apple TV and iTunes account, any suggestions?
Thanks!

if it's an appletv 1g then you should go to settings on your appletv and remove the bind with the computer
and then set it up again
if it's the small black appletv then you don't pair them from itunes you only use it as airplay speaker and the atv access the itunes shared lib

I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac. How do I get those CDs back in my library?

I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac. How do I get those "CDs" back in my library? I cannot listen to them on my Mac or put them on another device!

Thanks a lot! After I sent the above post, I tried that. It worked a little. Some of the ones that I Purchased would not come up. I followed instructions from Apple about going to Purchased and downloading them again, but ran into another problem. They are greyed on my Mac and they will not download again. It says to click on the iCloud beside them, but there is not one visible. iCloud is set up, at least I thought it was. I am sure there is a simple explanation, but I am missing it!

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Can no longer find "owners ipad" on itunes to download my photos from my computer. Have friends who have the same problem.

Photos are not downloaded from iTunes.
Import them from the iDevice to your computer as you would with any other digital camera and leave iTunes out of the equation.
