ITunes crashed and all my links to the items are gone

During a regular automatic update with my iPOD iTunes crashed. One video clip obviously caused the problem. Its impossible to delete the item. Each time I click on it, iTunes crashes. To make it worse - when I click on each other item, music or video or podcast - the item cannot be found - although, the original is still in the library. What can I do ?

I have a similar problem: being the idiot that I am, I tried changing the name of a video file while it was updating my iPod. Now I can't delete the corrupted file and I can't update videos because iTunes crashes when it tries to copy the corrupt file over. When I try to delete the file, iTunes crashes. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of the file? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

My i phone 3gs seems to have crashed and all that is on the screen is the i tunes logo and the usb cable, will i lose all my data if i restore the phone or is there a way of doing it without losing all data ?

Connect your iphone to your computer
Hold down the home button and the power button until the screen goes blank
Turn back on your phone.
Your phone has seemed to enter recovery mode, but its ok! The steps above should bring it out

After installing iTunes 10.5 all my mp3s in the playlist are distorted when i play them

After I updated my iTunes Version to 10.5 everything seems to be alright, but when i played a song from my libary it sounds very distorted.
This is only with my Mp3 files. When I played a .m4a file everything is alright and like the time before.
So what could I do?
I reinstalled my iTunes, Quicktime etc. and checked my audio device + reinstalled the audio driver.
Nothing happens and the problem is still present.
Thanks!

System restore did put back my previous version of Itunes, but I couldn't open it due that my library file was made by Itunes 10.5. So, I uninstalled Itunes usingthe Control Panel's Remove Program, but that didn't delete everything, so I had to manually delete Itune files. Then I weny to cnet.com to install aprevious version of Itunes. I had to build my library from scratch.

Help! I just did the new OS update and all my photos & albums from iphoto are GONE!

I just did the new OS updated last night. When I opened Photos this morning, there was nothing. NOTHING! Not, photos in weird order or unlabeled. There were no photos period. Where did they go? What can I do? This is my work! I cannot have a decades worth of photos completely lost. Can I do something with timemachine to get them back. HELP!!!

This looks like Photos opened a new, empty library, because it could not access your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library.
Where are you storing your iPhoto Library? In the default location in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?
For Photos to be able to open your iPhoto Library, the library needs to be on a drive formatted MacOS Extended, and directly connected. It will not be able to open the library on a NAS or any network volume.

HT4759 I hooked up my I phone to my lap top and all my notes from my phone are gone and I can't find them anywhere on my lap top or in I Cloud Help

I hooked my phone up to my lap top and in sync, but all my notes from my I Phone are not there anymore and I can not find them any where on my lap top or in I cloud and I need the notes back on my phone...... Help. I don't know what to do.

If you have deleted notes from the iCloud account, you can't recover them, unless you also had them on your computer and maintained a back up.

Itunes crashed and I have all my music on my Ipod and computer in files that will not all open, that is irreplacable. I do not remember ever using a encyrtion code so I am confused on saving my music.what do I do?

Very Frustrated and Wasted Money Please Help Me...... Itunes crashed and all of my libraries would not download, the songs that did came back 3/4 times which caused me to put everything on my new Hard Drive,I am have a bunch of files and libraries from Itunes with music that will not upload back to Itunes and I have a bunch on my IPOD that is irreplacable....On top of all these this I do not remember my encryption code but never remember locking it either. Please tell me what to do to save my music or reset the code and do a new one and how do I save this music,I see it on my library when I plug it up.Also what file do I look for for all the purchased music I had? Also my Remote acts up which never happened to me as well...

What do you mean by encryption code?
- Do yu mean the for some reason when you want to restore from backup iTunes asks for the password?
- Do you mean that it has a screen-lock passcode and you do not remember the passscode?
Please provide more clear information. I do not really understand your poblem. I can't tell whee the music is, or what will not "upload".

Just updated our iPad2 to iOS 7, and all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere. Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

We're you backing up to a computer using iTunes? If so, restore the backup from there.

I had dowloaded all of my itunes library to my iphone from my home computer/my computer crashed and all of the music that was on my itunes is only on my iphone now. How do I take that music from my iphone and put it onto my itunes on my new computer?

I had downloaded all of my itunes library to my iphone from my home computer, My home computer crashed and all my itunes library was lost but it is still on my iphone. Is there a way that I can take all the music on my iphone that is all of my music from my itunes from my old computer and download it to my new computer that I have another itunes on? I tried to sync the music on my iphone to my itunes and I could not figure out a way to sync the music without erasing all of the music on my iphone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
Using Windows 7.
Any help please?

From the top of the page where the scripts live...
The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.
