ITunes displaying incorrect library size after upgrade

I just upgraded from iTunes 6. Before I had about 23 or 25gb worth of music, now it says "5474 songs, 14.2 days, 298.18gb." That doesn't make any sense. How can I fix it? That's definitely not the size of my library. Is this going to mess up my iPod if I try to update it?

Is the iTunes library intact on your computer?
Upgrading to OS 3.0 shouldn't have done anything to your iTunes Library on the host computer.
Try a hard reset on your iPhone (hold both the sleep/wake button and home button down until your iPhone restarts. Reconnect the iPhone to iTunes and check the items you have set to sync (click iPhone icon in devices in iTunes then select each tab on the iPhone page within iTunes).
If the above doesn't help, try restoring your iPhone from within iTunes and set the iPhone up again.

  • Random library storage after "upgrading" iTunes library

    I recently upgraded my library and found that some of the upgraded songs were stored in proper location in the iTunes library whiles others were stored in the parent folder. Something must be forcing that selection because I even deleted the files from the library and reintalled them and they were again stored in the parent folder rather than the iTunes library. I haven't changed the preference location and most of the upgraded music was stored properly. Indeed, the random storage issue affected some songs in an upgraded album but not all.

    Restore that backup you take regularly... Ah, OK.
    *Empty 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* as *iTunes Library (Empty)* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See Music Folder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for clean-up tools , if required.

  • G4 AGP Graphics - 2nd display won't work after upgrading from os 10.2

    I have a desktop G4 AGP Graphics with two displays. When I was running os 9-10.2, the second display worked fine, but after upgrading the os (now running 10.4), the second display still works, but has turned gray and pixelated.
    When I take a screen shot, the picture shows that both displays appear clear (and in color).
    Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    so do you have 2 different video cards driving two different monitors? or is it One video card with 2 displays?
    the info you listed isnt very detailed but it does tell me you got an ATI video card with 16MB VRAM.
    I assume that thats the Stock AGP 2x graphics card that came the The PowerMac G4 AGP graphics model.
    why is your display set to 8bit depth? a stock 2x AGP card with 16MB VRAM should be able to support 16bit or 24bit depth even at 1024 x 768 res.
    the info says also Core image not support as well as Quartz Extreme no supported. Which is significant because it could be why the 2nd Monitor doesnt display properly with Tiger.
    under 10.2 there were less stringent requirements for driving video.
    OSX 10.4 Tiger is much more advanced OS and has higher graphics cards requirements now.
    I could be wrong, but I think you may need a newer video card that supports Quartz Extreme and Core image.
    hopefully someone else will run by this topic and offer some insight aside from my own.

  • Incorrect music library file size after upgrading to itunes 7.1.1.5

    I was running itunes 7.0.2 and I have a 40gb click wheel IPOD (3rd Generation?). In itunes 7.0.2 my music library stats showed 7046 songs stored on 34.6 gb of disk space. Once I upgraded to itunes 7.1.1.5 and restarted itunes, my music library stats now showed 7046 songs stored on 445 gb of disk space and I can no longer sync my 40 gb Ipod to itunes because itunes says I don't have enough space available on my ipod.
    What caused this change in reporting disk usage for my music library - which by the way is not correct, it is really 34.6 gb of space (which I confirm when I look at disk manager and evaluate the drive with the music file on it.
    How do I get itunes to report my disk space correctly so I can start syncing my ipod again. I already reset and restarted my ipod, rebooted my laptop multiple times and even did a restore on my ipod (which of course wiped out all my music on the ipod).

    I've had this problem too and since solved it. I now have Vista and iTunes working perfectly with my 20Gb iPod colour. I'm not sure whether the lack of comments means everyone is flummoxed or if We're the only people in the world who's had this problem!
    Well in the name of sharing here is what I did:
    1) Backed up my entire iTunes folder (inc album art work and all sub folders and iTunes ref files) to and external HD
    2) Deleted everything other than the album artwork folder and the iTunes music folder
    3) Uninstalled iTunes 7.2
    4) Cleaned the registry
    5) Restarted
    6) Downloaded and installed iTunes v7.3.0.54
    7) Opened new the install of iTunes
    8) Clicked File> Add folder to Library> iTunes Music
    9) Bingo my library is being sensible and reading the correct size AND my iPod syncs perfectly!
    Not sure if the actual cure was the fact I cleaned out all the reference files and performed a reinstall or if it was actually a bug which apple fixed in version 7.3.0.54? Either way!
    That's it. Simple. I hope this helps...

  • Itunes music library disappeared after upgrading to 8.0.2

    I recently upgraded Itune to the latest version.
    after that, when i open itunes i see the classic empty library that you have after a first fresh installation. All my music is apparently gone.
    Then i go into preferences, and the library folder is still set to the right position on my external hard-drive (and the folder do contain music). How can i make itunes recognise the library again?i don't wanna loose all the informations i added to each song and all the playlist i had and i suppose this will happne if i just re-import the music folder into itunes.

  • IPhoto library empty after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6

    HI,
    I have noticed this problem mentioned by others numerous times with no solution that has worked for me.  Has a better fix been found other than recopying all of the files in the 'old masters' list into a new library, effectively losing previously created albums, etc.? Is anyone at Apple actually working this issue since it seems to be pretty widespread and apparently directly related to a bug in iPhoto 9.6?.
    OK, first, i have no back up iPhoto library.  I had one previously but my secondary external drive got full and I had to wipe it to rearrange a bunch of data.  Had planned on re-backing it up when I opened iPhoto and uploaded some new photos from my phone, but this event happened and now I am out of luck...
    My iPhoto library is stored on an external drive (Wester Digital my Passport for Mac) and has worked fine until yesterday when I plugged my iPhone 6+ in to upload photos and sync with iTunes.  Upon booting up iPhoto, I got a notification that I needed to upgrade my library.  I clicked on the upgrade function and was then notified that a mistake was found and a repair was necessary.  The repair was ongoing when iPhoto froze and entire system failed, giving note that startup disk was nearly full.  After doing system restart and opening iPhoto, I found all photos gone from iPhoto window.  iPhoto is using the correct library and after looking at all internal files in iPhoto library, I found all photos had been moved to "old masters, old thumbnails, old previews".  Files are below:

    Size of iPhoto library is still over 500 gigs, so data is there apparently.  I immediately backed iPhoto library up, so at least this data has been salvaged, but I still can't access my photos.  I have used iPhoto's rebuild functions sequentially all the way to full rebuild, with no photos being found.  I then used iPhoto library manager app's rebuild function, and it also revealed no photos.
    So, what can I do to sort this out?  Needless to say, with 500+ gigs of photos, I am concerned.  I am hesitant to do the manual rebuild using the 'old masters'  option since I will lose all of my previously organized albums.  Is waiting for Apple to issue a fix that will actually restore lost data only a dream or would that feasibly happen? Thanks in advance for any and all help that can be offered.

    and....
    Here is the step by step method to recover your photos into a new Library....
    Please read the warning below first.....
    The current emergency only workaround fix for this issue when the user hasn't made or doesnt have access to  any backups, is as follows....
    Quit iPhoto
    In Finder, Select iPhoto Library
    Control Click on iPhoto Library and choose Show Package
    Drag Masters or Old Masters folder to either desktop or external HD if not enough space on System Drive
    Delete or preferably move iPhoto Library file to new location so at a later date one can recover the library again if needed..
    Restart Mac
    Launch iPhoto... (It should then create a new Library automatically...)
    Drag and drop the Masters or Old Masters folder(s) onto iPhoto's icon... or use the menu option in iPhoto to import photos and point to the Masters or Old Masters folders saved out previously.
    Be patient............
    Photos will then be re-added to iPhoto... and added to the new library...
    Note: If you have both Masters and Old Masters folders then add them one at a time, letting iPhoto import and index all the photos from one folder before adding another....
    Important Warning!!!: All modifications and folder structures/albums from the original library will be lost.... but at least the original photos are rescued... and a new library is created that should be free of issues with the current iPhoto/Yosemite combination.

  • ITunes stopped recognizing my iPhone after upgrading to Leopard.

    I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and iTunes (8.0.2) stopped recognizing my iPhone while iPhoto still works with my iPhone (I was able to download photos from my phone using iPhoto).
    What's going on?
    It's crazy! When iPhoto recognizes my iPhone, either iTunes or iSync doesn't reads the phone. It doesn't even give any error messages.
    I did every solution I found on the net. Repair permission, Remove Local folder in Library.. etc..etc.. none of them worked.

    After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
    Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
    My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
    Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

  • ITunes crash on start up after upgrade to 10.7

    Can someone help?

    Hello, bump for me on this really annoying issue.  Running Windows 7 SP1, fully updated drivers.  Using latest Itunes, 10.7.0.21.  Just like the others, every time I try to open Itunes, the Itunes store seems like it's trying to load.. and then I inevitably get the "Itunes has stopped working.. Windows is checking.. blah blah" and then crash. I have tried every fix I could find on these and other forums:
    1.  Uninstalled/Reinstalled all Apple software as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 along with running CC Cleaner (after uninstall/before reinstall of course).  DIDN'T WORK.
    2.  Did the winsock reset listed here https://discussions.apple.com/message/17412059#17412059.  DIDN'T WORK.
    3.  Corrupt User Profile (Kernalbase.dll) Issue:  Did the renaming of corrupt Itunes folder listed here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-HK/w7itprogeneral/thread/be53aac5- c560-478a-9598-e0c6a33d9da7 and that worked the FIRST time after renaming the folder to Itunes.old.. i.e. opening Itunes after doing this was successful and thus created a new Itunes folder.  However, after closing itunes and reopening.. I was right back to square one.. Itunes crashing.  (This did "work" partially so probable that issue has something to do with Corrupt Itunes User Profile??)  Ultimately, DIDN'T WORK.
    *BTW, I also did a Run Diagnostics from the help menu of Itunes and got 3 green lights for network connectivity.. one of which is of course "Secure link to Itunes store verified".  So Itunes is telling me it seems to be communicating fine with Itunes Store. 
    There's nothing else that I can see to do short of reinstalling Windows... which I really don't want to do. 
    HOWEVER, after some trial and error, I found a weird little workaround.  It seems like the crash is happening upon the initial attempt by Itunes to connect to the Itunes store.  Here's what I did:
    1.  After opening Itunes (and the initial opening event is so that Itunes tries to connect to Itunes Store -- this will happen if the last page you were on the last time you closed Itunes was Itunes Store), QUICKLY click on "Music" (or any other "offline" library) on the left upper pane of Itunes.  This will take you to your Music library and Itunes will STOP trying to connect automatically to Itunes store.  So now, Itunes is open at least.  Note:  Others have mentioned correctly that if you open Itunes with your internet connection off, it will at least allow you to open Itunes b/c Itunes doesn't try to open Itunes Store if you're offline.  My workaround accomplishes the same thing while still being connected to the internet.
    2.  Now, if you now click on "Itunes Store" directly, it WILL CRASH as per usual. 
    3.  Instead, click on "Purchased"  which is directly under "Itunes Store".  Click ok to the pop-up.  Then, on the bottom right of the screen, click on "Download Previous Purchases".  This will open the previous purchases page which is actually WITHIN the Itunes store.  If you look at the left pane, Itunes Store will now actually be highlighted.  You're now in the Itunes store.. just via the "sidedoor" if you will.  You will also now see all the usual Itunes Store categories along the top of this page like the Home Icon, music, movies, tv, apps, etc. etc.  Click on the Home Icon (music, movies, whatever) and VOILA, it will open Itunes store without crashing! 
    4.  Now that you're "in", you can jump around freely during THIS session.  IE, you can freely go back and forth from looking at your left-pane offline music library, movies, apps, whatever.. and click on Itunes Store in the left pane and Itunes will not crash... you know, how Itunes normally works!
    5.  When you're done using Itunes just make sure the last screen you use before you close Itunes is "Music" or some such.  That way, you won't have to do the "quickly hit Music" the next time you use Itunes.  It will automatically just go to the offline Music library and not try to access the Itunes Store.  Then, just repeat step 3 and you'll be "in" again. 
    I really hope this workaround works for you until Apple updates/patches Itunes for those of us that are having this issue.  If it keeps working for me, I'm gonna live with it until the next Itunes version update hopefully resolves this issue. 
    OH!  PS.  I'm also having the Apple Software Update issue mentioned here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4040994?start=60&tstart=0.  I have no idea how to solve this.. wondering if it's related to the Itunes crashing issue.  I'm also getting the error message when trying to update quicktime from the help menu here https://discussions.apple.com/message/19392457#19392457. 

  • Photos don't display on book pages after upgrading to 9.4.2

    I have several books I created in version 9.4.1. After upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, most of the pictures will not display on the book pages. Only 1 photo displays out of 3 or 4 photos on the page. Is there a setting that has changed? Using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on MacBookPro10,1

    Did you duplicate the existing book or create a new empty book and add the same photos?
    Have you tried rebuilding your library as follows: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Dual library question (iTunes gets the library size and bitrate wrong)

    I have two libraries, one ripped in Lossless, and the other in AAC at 256 kbps. I use one for streaming, and the other for syncing to our iPods. I just switched from the Lossless library to the AAC library (kept on separate drives). iTunes now sees the AAC files, but incorrectly lists all the bitrates as their higher Lossless numbers. However, when I click on an individual song to play it, the bitrate appropriately is recognized as 256 kbps. When I do this, the total library size (listed at the bottom) also incrementally "shrinks."
    The problem is that I just purchased a new 80 GB iPod capable of holding the entire library (nearly 8000 songs@25 kbps, ~60 GB total size). Unfortunately, iTunes still thinks the library is much larger (using the incorrect lossless bitrates to calculate file size). This results in it telling me (erroneously) that the library is too large to sync.
    Is there an easy way to get iTunes to realize the new file sizes? I could obviously double-click on each and every song in the library until iTunes "gets" the real size, but I assume there's a better way. I also assume that this will be an issue every time I switch between the two libraries.
    Help, anyone? Thanks in advance.

    iMac G5, Mini, PB G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks for the tip, but this didn't work, unfortunately. Following your lead a bit further, I even created a new playlist and dragged the whole library there, but the wrong bitrates (and thus, playlist size) still appeared.
    One more curious update regarding this situation. iTunes automatically populated my iPod with what it believed was a subset of my tunes that would fit on the iPod. The real size of this subset was ~20GB, but iTunes thought (using the Lossless size) that it was nearly 60 GB. In categorizing the contents of my iPod, it listed ~60GB of songs, ~1 MB of photos, 1 GB of video and still listed the space available as ~50 GB (for a grand total of ~112 GB of space on my 80 GB iPod). Clearly, iTunes used the calculated size to estimate the music content, but used the actual space remaining based on a query of the iPod drive. Strange, huh?
    I'm still looking for advice--any other suggestions would be welcome.

  • IPhoto library gone after upgrade to Tiger

    My iPhoto library was empty after upgrading to Tiger. I am on my 4th digital camera, so you can imagine how many photos I can no longer find. What is worse, and I don't think there is anything worse, I can no longer see photos of my child who is deceased. I want my photos back!! Can anyone help. The "computer nerd" company that did our upgrade is of no help at all. They talk to me as if I knew anything about computers and I know nothing. Please help me.

    Three separate issues then:
    1. The files which are corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize
    Some things to try:
    Change the file suffix to .jpg (i.e lowercase) or .jpeg and see if that helps.
    Download Graphic Coverter and try open them with it. Graphic Converter is a image editor, and frankly, if it won't open them, I doubt anything will.
    2. "Unreadable Files: 1
    The following could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)"?
    iPhoto will not import files from the iPhoto Library Folder - it's a simple protection against duplication.
    3. iPhoto fails to display any of these images at all.
    Do you get a blank square in the iPhoto Window? What happens when you click on a pic to edit it in the iPhoto Window? Do you get a ? or a !
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
    If you want to start over:
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Frozen during library update after upgrade

    I know that lots of people have posted about this problem, but I was told that I shouldn't post on their topics and start my own . . . so here goes.
    After upgrading to the latest version of itunes, I launch itunes, which then proceeds to update my library. About 75% through the process itunes freezes and does not respond. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall both itunes and quicktime, I have shut down my firewall, I have rebooted, but I can't get anything to work.
    I read a thread about problems with compatibility issues with Vista, but I am running XP. So is this an issue with Microsoft? Unfortunately, I am not about to purchase a Mac right now. Has someone found a fix for this issue? PLEASE HELP! I am not especially computer savvy, but I have put in the effort to research this as best as possible and would appreciate some advice!

    I've been using Vista with iTunes just fine, even before Apple came out with a "compatible" version. This happened to me upon upgrading to 7.3.1.3. Searching the web I've seen lots of posts from people having this on XP and Mac a couple of years ago. I don't think this is a new problem with Vista.
    I tried unistalling the latest version, and going back to 7.2...but it still locked up during library conversion. I did do an experiment where I copied my iTunes directory somewhere else, reinstalled iTunes 7.3, and it opened up fine as a "new" computer. I reversed the process and the problem came back. Right now it looks like the only way to recover is to rebuild my library on a new iTunes install, which is a pain.

  • ITunes can't see iPhone after upgrade, phone became inactivated.

    The phone will no longer connect after upgrading software through iTunes.
    It's back to the "emergency call" screen, and "Activate your iPhone. Connect to iTunes" screen.
    When I try to connect, iTunes hangs.
    (iPhoto opens and downloads pictures!)
    Help! Any ideas?

    Marc...I think you are confused by what I am trying to say. For your iPhone to be seen by your computer/iTunes you must have a good install. I suspect that you have a bad install of iTunes "On Your COMPUTER" To fix this (and it has worked for many other users) You need to delete/uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Quick Time from "your COMPUTER".
    Download a new copy of iTunes from the apple web site and reinstall. I am only trying to assist you, this is not a windows versus mac thing...this is a user help user forum, I do not (and you can check my posts) play the this is better then that game.
    I want to help you fix your problem which I just did with another user have a similiar problem to yours, so that you can enjoy your iPhone like the others that assist in these forums.
    Hope this helps,
    Good Luck
