Itunes icon disappeared after installing itunes 10.2

After installing 10.2, the itunes circular blue icon no longer appeared on my desktop. However, there was an icon like the NIB in its place. Now I cannot open itunes at all. Please help.

This evening after upgrading to 10.2 (34), when I restarted my iTunes my library and playlists are empty, has anybody else encountered this or have a solution?
The files are still present on the external HDD
Thanks,

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.

  • Camera Position Icons Disappear after installing FCP on new iMac...

    Anybody have an idea? Just bought a new iMac with an Intel Core i7 processor and maxed out the RAM at 16 GB. Now, when launching Motion, the camera position icons in the top right corner of the viewer, and the camera view menu on the top left of the viewer have mostly disappeared - just leaving some weird colored blocks.
    Thanks!

    Update Motion to 4.0.3 - that was a bug that's been fixed...

    Find my friends Icon disappeared after upgrade to ios 8. I tried restarting as well as reinstalled the app but its not working. I can find it in Usage, but not in spot light. Pla help!!

    I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

    Here comes the/my solution:
    Remove Sophos Antivirus
    Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
    Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
    Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
    - Dock
    - Language has been reset to English only
    - Expose & Spaces
    (- probably all personal settings?)

  • Pictures disappeared after installing Yosemite and new Iphoto. Why

    Pictures disappeared after installing Yosemite and new Iphoto. Why ?

    I also started having problems with iPhoto after installing Yosemite.  Some of the Event collections lost the picture and just has a grey square in its place.  When I click on the Event, it shows a white dotted lined square for each picture and if I click on the picture, it shows an exclamation mark.
    Check, if you also are having a folder "Old Masters" inside the iPhoto Library package, as described by  Muhamad Abdulkadir.
    Ctrl-click (or right-click) your iPhoto Library in the Pictures folder , then select "Show Package Contents".  If you are seeing a folder "Old Masters", copy this folder out of the library. Look inside - are the original image files of the problematic photos inside?
    Are any photos in your "Masters"folder?

  • Why is it that the Facetime icon disappeared after i changed my sim from qatar vodafone number to philippines smart number? How can i reactivate my facetime?

    Why is it that the Facetime icon disappeared after i changed my sim from qatar vodafone number to philippines smart number? How can i reactivate my facetime?

    Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

  • "Holiday" Section in Radio Streaming Disappears after Installing iTunes 9

    Yup, as the topic suggests, after installing iTunes 9 on my Macbook 13' just recently, I realised that my favourite radio stream, 'Holiday' in iTunes has mysteriously disappeared. Is there anyone who has experienced a similar incident as I have? Does anyone know of any way for me to place this Holiday section back?
    Thanks in advance.

    Is this the station you seek?
    http://www.live365.com/stations/winterscapes
    Remember, all the stations shown in iTunes' Radio section are just feeds from other streaming audio sites. Apple does not host or create any of these feeds and the offered stations change frequently - especially as part of an iTunes upgrade. Many of the iTunes offerings are actually Live365 stations.
    If you get the station to start in iTunes from that link, that creates a 'Music' entry in your iTunes library that you can reuse. It will eventually stop working and you'll need to revisit the Live365 site to get a 'fresh' version of the station.
    If the link opens and plays through a web based player window you'll have to edit your playback preferences through the Live365.com site to use an external MP3 player which will then redirect it iTunes. Definitely more of a hassle, but it will work.

  • Airplay icon disappears after I click 'Play'

    My Airplay icon disappears from my iTunes window whenever I click play.  I usually stream music from iTunes on my Mac Book Air to an Airport Express connected to my stereo.  It's been about a week since I last played music to the stereo, and I can't get it to work.
    Symptoms:
    - When I click 'play' in iTunes main window, the Airplay icon disappears.
    - 'Remote' will not play to the Express.  The icon also disappears from view after clicking play.
    - If I switch to the mini-player after launching iTunes, I can play to the Express. Returning to main window and clicking play causes icon to disappear.  Quitting ater selecting Airplay from mini player and relaunching iTunes has no effect; the icon disappears from main view once I click play.
    Things I've tried:
    - Soft restart on base station and express
    - Pulled the plug from base station and express, waited a few minutes, then powered up
    - turned 'Enable Airplay' off (update), then on again (second update) on the express
    - Restarted my Mac
    - Turned on/off home sharing in iTunes
    - Cursed and listened to local radio stations
    Software/Hardware:
    Mac OSX 10.9.2
    iTunes 11.1.5 (5) 64bit
    Airport Utility 6.3.2
    Mid-2011 MacBook Air 11", i7
    Airport Extreme (2007/8?)
    Airport Express (bought 12/13)

    Hi Griff, thanks for the links.
    I started my day this morning by shutting down my MBA for a few minutes.  This seems to have fixed the problem.  Because the previous restarts didn't have an effect, I'm wondering if the cause may have been related to a hardware cache (?) of some sort.  I've been using screen shares (Skype, WebEx, GoToMeeting) alot recently, which may have something ot do with this.  I read elsewhere that the disappearing icon is frequently related to a network problem.
    In anycase, I can listen to *my* music tongiht.

  • MY music on my iPhone disappeared after installing iOS6.

    My music disappeared to iClud after installing iOS6 on both my iPhone 4s and my iPad 2. I also have iTunes Match selected. I want to play music thru my car stereo but my music is gone from my phone and in the "Cloud" How do I get my music back on my devices/ Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi..
    If you have iCloud enabled, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Notes off then back on then restart your iPhone.
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

  • Badge icon disappears after 2.0 Update

    After installing the Podcasts 2.0 update I noticed that the badge icon for the number of unread podcasts had disappeared. I  am an experienced iPhone user and went through the normal trouble shooting steps of syncing, uninstalling an reinstalling, but the bange icon always disappears after applicaton of the Podcasts 2.0 update.
    Has anybody elso noticed this behavior?

    yeah an option would be good.
    i'm still not sure myself whether this is intentional or a bug. especially as if you go in to the app and mark a podcast episode as played then go back to the full episode list again and then go back and mark the same one again as unplayed, then exit the app, it then shows that change on the badge app icon count, which as it's not a recent download but just recently marked as unplayed does seem a little buggy to me.

  • My system preference, powner off, restart disappeared after installing lion twice! Anybody can help?

    After installing Lion on my Imac, the System Preference option in the apple menu (Apple sign on top left side of desktop) has disappeared. In addition, the power off, restart options are gone too. I have reinstalled the Lion twice but the problem hasn't been resolved yet. This is happening when I am logged into adm. user. In other users account, the menu seems to be ok. Any suggestions or recommendation to help me fix this issue?

    Let me clarify the issue again:
    A number of items have gone missing from my apple menu: Software Update, System Preference, Dock, Recent, Restart, and Shut Down are gone.
    All that's left are About, Location, Force Quit, Sleep, and Log Out. Can anybody help?

  • Realtek HD Audio driver disappears after installing an ATI Radeon graphics card

    My Realtek HD Audio driver disappears (from both the Vista "Sound Manager" and the "Device Manager") and is replaced by an ATI HD Audio driver after installing an ATI  Radeon 5450 graphics card.  I've tried un-installing the ATI Audio driver and re-installing the Realtek Audio driver.  But, upon rebooting, Vista automatically re-installs the ATI Audio driver (and the Realtek Audio driver, which I just re-installed, is no where to be found after rebooting).  I'm using an HP a6110n desktop running Windows Vista.  
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    I bet you were unpleasantly surprised by that! 
    The fix is simple:
    Go into your system setup (BIOS) using the F10 key.
    Find your device configuration menu. In that menu there should be a setting for your onboard audio. It is probably set to Auto.
    Change the setting to Enabled. Hit the F10, key there and again when you save your settings and exit.
    Now your onboard audio will be back and your HDMI out audio on your graphics card should work too when you need it.
    What happened was when you installed the Video card with HDMI out, there is an audio chip on the video card for HDMI. The PC sensing a new sound card, just disabled the onboard sound card because it thought you didn't want to use the onboard card anymore.
    Changing the BIOS setting to enabled tells the PC to use the onboard audio card as well as any others you may have installed.

  • Icon missing after installed Adobe

    Hello,
    Does anyone have the mac icons missing issue after installed adobe creative cloud installer?
    My macbook pro icons were missing (didn't show) right after I installed Adobe Creative Cloud Installer (download from Adobe website).
    At first, I thought the issue is my machine, so I went to apple store genius bar and left my mac for a week to let them find out the reason.
    Apple erased my system and reinstalled it, and machine passed all the diagnose test.
    Yesterday, I got my mac at apple retail store and everything was normal (no icon missing).
    Right after I installed Adobe Creative Cloud Installer, the icons were missing. Then, I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud Installer, everything was back to normal, including icons were back.
    I have no idea how this happen and why. But according to apple, they told me it should be the software issue and ask adobe for help. Adobe there is no phone call support form Adobe.
    Does anyone have the same issue like this, or does anyone know how to solve the issue?

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you for your reply. Please see the screenshot.
    This is when I try to create a folder, it happens like this.
    The second one is after I close this folder and reopen it. Please the second image.
    The last image is very funny which I am not able to see anything form applications folder. But, actually, there are a lot of things. As you can see from Dock, there are many things like imessage, Photoshop, chrome etc. They just not shown!
    I can only uninstaller the Adobe Creative Cloud Installer to solve it.
    Do you have any idea how to solve it by any chance? Apple said it was caused by the software. They even replaced my logic board to solve it, but they still couldn't.

  • ATI drivers disappear after install (XP PRO)

    This unit is refurbished, it did not come with the drivers installed, it has the display adapter and ATI video card. I downloaded teh drivers from Lenovo for the video card so I can use the display adapter and connect to an extyernal monitor.
    When Iinstall the driver all goes well, but after restarting Ican not see any options in the display properties for the ATI Catalyst,or a programs group under programs. Also, when I check the device manager teh video card still shows with a yellow ! under other devices which leads me to beleive that the driver did not install. The log after installing the driver does not show any errors.
    When attempting to uninstall the ATI driver from within the installation program itindicates that there are no drivers installed. I attempted installation multiple times with the same results.
    I eve downloaded the driver from ATI nad itbehalved the same way. The directory ATI Technologies under the program files is empty after installation completes successfuly. So, it seems the drivers and the software are disappearing after the install completes.
    please HELP!
