ITunes cannot find Aperture library

Hi all,
Im trying to sync pics to my iphone 5. I've used Aperture for 5+ years without a problem until now. I got a new imac and since then i am unable to sync pics. See error messages below. I dont see any option in Aperture to share as the error msg states.
I've tried all the aperture db correction steps as well as creating a new library. No luck. Any ideas are appreciated
thx
Brett

From itunes, when checking off "sync photos from...aperture" msg is:
Your aperture library could not be found. Open the preferences window in aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications.
When i click "ok" to the above msg, get the following:
itunes cannot sync photos to the iphone "bretts iphone" because your sperture library could not be found. Open the preferences window in aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications.
thx

Itunes cannot find my library anymore please help

Please help!!
I recently installed a new internal hard drive and my itunes library was installed on an external hard drive and when i rebooted my pc after the new drive was installed my drive letters changed and itunes could no longer locate my library.
I had around 38,000 tracks in the library along with aps etc and i cannot seem to locate or load that library anymore.
I have tried renaming all the drives (internal and external) to the drive letters they were before i put the new drive in but it has made no difference.
System restore doesn't seem to fix it and when itunes opened after the reboot it started adding some tracks but not all.
Please Please Help

Search your drives for files of the type *.itl
When you have identified the one that should be your library hold down the shift key and click the icon to start iTunes. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the file you found earlier.
If your library was all properly self-contained then "It just works"TM otherwise post back with the details of the path to your media folder and I'll show you how to fix things.

I just got my new iMac, and when going to iTunes, cannot find my library,etc.

Can you help me find my iTunes library and account on my new iMac?

Your library will ONLY be where you put it. It will not magically appear anywhere.
Have you copied to from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer?
You can sign into your account from any computer with itunes. This has nothing to do with your library. Your library resides on your computer and you have to move/copy it wherever you want it.

ITunes cannot find songs in library

For some reason, my iTunes cannot find songs in my iTunes library that are there. It says the file cannot be located, and I have to go one by one and individually find the files for iTunes. I checked in my preferences and I made sure that it is actually looking in the folder where all my songs are. Any idea why this happened? Is there any way to find all of the songs at once instead of doing them individually? (I have about 800 songs, so that could take a while).

One way you might be able to speed things up ( re-add to itunes) is to find songs where Itunes does know about from the same Artist and then right click on song and select reveal in explorer. This will give you the path to folder of similar songs. You then go to folder and select the songs you want re-added to itunes. While it plays it gets re-added. YOu can play a few seconds of the song and then go to next one that needs to be added.

I just downloaded itunes to my PC but cannot find the library page to start transporting music files

I just downloaded itunes to my PC but cannot find the library page to start transporting music files ?????

I have music on a stick drive which I want to transport to itunes on my desktop PC running Vista. I downloaded itunes but cannot find a page on itunes to load the music onto.. When I put the stick into the USB port, an AutoPlay box comes up which says Play using .Windows Media Player..............Import music, pictures, video using Real Player. Open folder to view files using Windows explorer etc.....& set Auto Play Defaults in control Panel. By library page, I mean the page on itunes where the music would be transported to & listed by each name so I can listen to it.

Itunes canont find my library

Hello,
I have not found any discussion dealing with my problem. I installed Itunes on my brand new Sony Vaio FW21E laptop in November or December 2008 after having purchased a new Iphone 3G. Since then, when I open Itunes (approx one time out of five), Itunes cannot find all my libraries. This is, as if I opened Itunes for the first time. Therefore each time this phenomena occurs, I need to re-add my itunes folder into the itunes-library. All my files (music, videos...) are still in the "itunes music" folder, but itunes cannot find them. This is very disturbing, as it takes each time one hour to put things straight (to add the "itunes music" folder to the itunes-library, to get the albums' covers from itunes and finally to run genius).
I asked several times the Iphone hotline who told me it should be an itunes problem.
I hope you will be able to help me. I thought that upgrading from vista to windows 7 would have solved this issue, but unfortunately not.
Looking forward to reading from you.
Best regards.

The issue is with a program on your Sony Vaio computer called a program watcher. What it is doing is changing your iTunes library file to a new name, therefore every time you open iTunes, it is blank.
This discussion will explain in more detail and show you what program you need to make adjustments to or remove on your computer

MY iPod touch says iPod I'd disabled, connect to iTunes, but it is green at the top instead of red. It won't allow me to slide bar to open screen or nothing. I tried to connect to iTunes and a message appears and says iTunes cannot find my device must have pass code to continue. But I can't do anything on the iPod at all. What can I do to fix this?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

FYI: How to Fix "iTunes Cannot Find Original File" Error

Yesterday morning, I opened iTunes and tried to play a file. I got the old "iTunes cannot find the original file" error. I tried another file. Same thing. I tried restarting iTunes, holding down the shift key, and making sure iTunes knew where my Library file was. Yep. Still no dice. So I came here, and did a search for help. I could not find any definitive answers to this question. So I did a Google search and found the fix in an old Metafilter thread. Given that this problem seems a little common, I thought I'd post my solution here, for anyone who has this issue in the future.
First things first, make sure that it's not just an issue of pointing iTunes to your current library location. Go to your advanced preferences and double-check the library location path. If this doesn't fix it, then it's time to go my route:
1) Open your iTunes folder in windows explorer. Look for a file called "itunes library.xml". Copy that file to your desktop or somewhere else so that it's backed up...in case something goes wrong.
2) Open the original XML file in notepad (right-click, "open with", "notepad").
3) In this XML file, you will see a paragraph of information for every file you have (songs, podcasts, videos, etc.). In each of those paragraphs, there is a file path specifying where the file is supposed to reside. This is how the itunes library.itl file knows where to look. In my case, it should have been "e:/my music/itunes", but instead, it was "e:/my music/itunes/itunes music". The program had created that folder for some reason, and all my files were pointing there.
4) Check a few of the paragraphs and see if they are pointing to your actual music folder. If so, then you have another problem...sorry. If not, then continue on:
5) Go to edit->replace (or control-H). In the "find what" box, enter the incorrect file path (in my case, e:/my music/itunes/itunes music"). In the "replace with" box, enter the correct path of your itunes music folder (in my case, "e:/my music/itunes". Then click "replace all".
If you have a lot of songs, this may take awhile. I have over 25,000 files, so it took at least 18 hours.
6) When it's done, quit notepad and save the XML file. Open iTunes. If it doesn't automatically start updating your library, then try to play a song. If you get the same old error, then quite iTunes, then re-open it, go to the advanced preferences and select the correct file path for the library location. This should fix it.

I am also finding many "ghost file" duplicate files (with the exclamation point "can not locate files" message), after pointing Itunes version 8.2.1.6 to my music folder on a separate, networked hard drive. My understanding is that the "Consolidate Files" feature in Itunes is supposed to properly identify all of the file locations, but it only worked for about 1/5 of our 10,000 plus files before it stopped running. (I've read in other forums that this software is buggy, and gets confused with long song titles, etc.)It also leaves you with duplicate "ghost" files to delete, when the music from the separate drive is "added".
I can not find a file called ituneslibrary.xml to try your suggestion, when I open my Itunes folder. When I do "get info" on the individual music files in Itunes that can't be located, the "where" field = "not available". I have doublechecked the library location in preferences and it is properly pointed to "K:\itunes" which is the correct location.

ITunes cannot find Aiport Express via D-link

iTunes cannot find Aiport Express.
iMac and Airport Express both connected to D-link wireless router (DI-524UP). Can see Airport Express on iMac Airport Utilities, and can communicate (do changes) via the D-link network. iMac working fine with D-link for internett access also.Have set up Aiport Express to serve as extra speakers in iTunes. Airport Express connected to stereo with cable. Can choose the external speakers in iTunes. Think this means iTunes also must be communicating with Airport Express, because If I change the name of the externals speakers in Airport Express, it also changes in iTunes after clicking "update" and the Airport Express re-starts. However after choosing the external speakers in iTunes and starting a song iTunes is seeking the speakers (Airport Express) without finding it. All devices are connected to the same D-link network.
Working fine when I set up Airport Express with its own network and connecting it with iMac. Also I could connect my iPhone to my iTunes library (remote app.) This is not working in the d-Link network either.
It's a drag to have to change both the PC and the iPhone to another network every time I want to play musik on the stereo. This is why I am trying to get everything to work together in the same network (D-Link).
Somebody having met this problem before?

Correction: Downloaded an update for the D-Link, and now the iPhone is working with iMac for remote control of iTunes.
Still iTunes cannot find Airport Express when choosing external speekers

I have exclamation marks and itunes cannot find original file?

I have exclamation marks and itunes cannot find original file. How do I locate original file?

Check you have your iTunes settings (Edit, Preferences, Advanced) to keep iTunes library organised.
Your songs should be in your music library in iTunes, iTunes Media, Music.
If they are not, start menu, type the name of a song in the box and the list should show you where that is located.

ITunes cannot find but I can ( ! ) - how do I fix this?

I recently upgraded to a larger capacity drive and copied my library to the new drive but also kept a backup on the old drive. Now on the new drive, I have a ton of those exclamation points and iTunes cannot find a lot of the songs. It is making me find them one song at a time. How can I keep my new drive as the location where iTunes is stored (using the Advanced section of preferences for iTunes music folder location) but get iTunes to fix these that it cannot locate? And if I can locate them one at a time just by going back to the backup, why can't iTunes figure that out on its own? I'm not even sure why this happened, since I did the Consolidate and Keep iTunes folder organized functions when transferring to the new drive. Please help!

Hi - the original files were copied to the new drive and unfortunately, were deleted from the old drive. But what I do have on the old drive, and iTunes seems to be able to use it when it wants me to locate the songs one by one, is a backup copy of my library I made before the move to the new drive.
Since moving, I set the new drive location as where the iTunes folder is stored, and the song information is all in the library on the new drive, but it confuses me why that info is there but the "sound" isn't. The files that are affected seem to be mostly the first files I loaded on when I got iTunes in December. A lot came from Windows media. I wish I could understand why if it has me "locate" it, it can then fix the problem (although that has to be done song-by-song) but yet it cannot seem to link to the entire folder and I have to do this one song at a time. Would it be possible to put that backup folder on a CD, and create CD backups of my functioning library on the new drive, and then reinstall iTunes on the new drive using the multiple CDs? Would it let me use CD backups created in two different backups, and extract what each backup had to thus make my library complete again (between the two backups, that would be my entire library.)

ITunes cannot find files even though the path is correct in Preferences

Hello: I have a problem that is not addressed in any support article.
When I click to play a song in iTunes, I get the message that iTunes cannot find the original file.
When I check Preferences > Advanced > iTunes folder locations, I see all of my files there, but iTunes does not.
I have reset, consolodated the library, and performed all tasks noted in the support articles. Still no luck.
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

I had the same thing happen and have been pulling my hair out about this for a week now. Finally today I hit on a fix that worked for me and I hope it works for you.
For this to work, you need a backup of the last saved iTunes Library file.
First, follow directions about locating your iTunes music folder. In prefs>advanced choose your location and make sure that is right.
Locate your last saved iTunes Library file (the one that was working before things went haywire with the !'s everywhere). Also locate the iTunes prefs file in ~/library/prefs. For me, these were part of a Backup, so I selected "restore" ONLY THESE particular files from my last backup. When prompted to replace existing files, I said YES.
After backup ran, restoring the old Library and replacing the corrupted one, I relaunched iTunes and VOILA. All files were now correctly linked.
This left one last task, re-importing all songs I'd imported since that previous backup. To find these, I sorted my music folder by date modified and checked the most recent songs against the most recent in my Library. (sort your iTunes LIbrary by "Date Added", which you can add manually if it's not part of your categories bar.

CANNOT FIND COMPUTER LIBRARY

AFTER UPGRADE SOFTWARE OF APPLETV (2 GEN) CANNOT FIND COMPUTER LIBRARY...
I FIND TO RESET IMPOSTATION WITHOUT SOLUTION...

I had the same problem, following is what I did to solve my problem, hope it helps. I posted this on another thread.
Just got my ATV3 talking to iTunes again, I can see my library and the airplay is working again.
Here is what I did, I'm using a Win 7 pro system, not sure about Mac's but the problem could be related.
The culprit was Bonjour, I went to control panel>administrative tools>services>Bonjour service, from there I right clicked and selected properties. Selected startup type then disabled, click apply, then set it back to automatic, apply again. Not sure if this helped but I then selected stop and restart several times (located upper left). Rebooted, started Itunes and ATV, there it was all back to normal.
