Itunes librarby

OK...  my apple tv worked great.  everything was as it should be... after i figured out which ports to open on my router.  Anyway, now my itunes library wont show up.  EVERYTHING else is working. My screen saver is my moblile me account pics, it works.  Internet works. Signal strength is full bars.  Firewall has no changes.  I have unplugged, rebooted, restored, reset, reinstalled, etc EVERYTING.  Any ideas whats wrong?

What exactly did you move? The iTunes library.itl file is the core of your library. If you move or delete this iTunes will create a new empty library file for you. This library can show your past purchases, usually as cloud links from which you can stream or download. If you put everything back where it came from you should be able to restore your library as it was. We can then talk about how to move it properly.

  • Transferring iTunes Library file to new Mac

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro and have tried to transfer my iTunes Library files from my old MacBook Pro to my new one.  Both are running iTunes 11.  All music, video, apps etc are stored on an external drive which iTunes is set to look at.  I copied the 'iTunes' folder from my 'Music' folder on my old MacBook Pro to an external hard drive and then plugged it in to my new MacBook pro and replaced the 'iTunes' folder in my 'Music' folder with the existing contents.  However when opening iTunes 11 on my new MacBook Pro iTunes seems to create a new blank library file and overwrite the one I previously copied.  Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    Are just your media are stored on the external, or is the whole iTunes library (which includes artwork files, the central iTunes Librarby.itl files, and other things)?
    If the whole iTunes library, there's no need to copy the unused folder on your old computer. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the library file on the external.
    If you keep just your media on the external, copying your library folder is correct.  I don't know why iTunes 11 is erasing it.  One thing though is I believe the media folder location is stored in preferences.  I know I once changed it on my older iTunes version where I have multiple libraries and when I changed it for one it did it to them all.  You may have to configure this in iTunes preferences though that still doesn't explain why it erases the copied library folder.

  • My library is lost

    My itunes librarby has disappeared.  I have done system restore and uninstall on it.  The items that I have purchased from itunes is available for download again but itunes keep freezing (not responding).  I just begun to have this problem since I borught iphones 4 and 4s.  The day before I brought the iphones I downloaded music from the store.  All my music is in the itunes folder under my music so it has not completely disappeared from the laptop, but what am I suppose to do?

  • Error message iTunes64 Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

    I've tried a few times to update my laptop with latest version of iTunes, even have uninstalled older version, and I just keep getting this message.  What am I doing wrong?  How do I fix it?  I have Windows 7, 64-bit system. 
    I wouldn't have even tried to update, but when I plugged in my new iphone 4S to download my itunes librarby to it, i was prompted to get the most recent version.  Now I don't have anything.  HELP!

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different (64-bit) PC. Copy the iTunes64Setup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file.
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • Three movies I bought from iTunes this morning do not show up on the 1st Gen AppleTV.

    I understand some file formats are not compatible with AppleTV (1st gen) but these films were purchased directly from iTunes.  One would assume they are formatted properly to work on Apple equipment, yes?  Previously purchased movies show up on the AppleTV just fine, so I'm not sure what's going with these three.  They were from the $4.99 Sci Fi collection:  Enemy Mine, Dune and Terminator 2.  Oldies but goodies.  The iMac, where the iTunes Library lives is used to stream the content to the AppleTV, and everything that is in my Library appears to be available for streaming, except these three films.  Any advice?

    I have now restored Factory Settings on the Apple TV. Looked promising until iTunes hangs everytime I tried to enter the podcast page of the sync options. And I get errors that my newest movies, created in Final Cut Pro X with the Share with 720p Apple Devices export settings are not compatible with Apple TV.
    Unbelievable.

  • How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

    How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices.  Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?

    Hey Ajtt!
    I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
    Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
    You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
    Mac:
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    PC (Windows 8):
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • I click on itunes but doesnt open and says send error report or dont send

    i click on itunes but doesnt open and says send error report or dont send

    You will need to provide more details as we cannot see your computer screen. Does this happen every time you launch LabVIEW? What version of LabVIEW are you using? What version of Windows? Does LabVIEW crash? If so, what were you doing at the time it crashed?

  • Itunes wont open and shows error report.

    this is what i get when i open it. it was working fine last night. i opened it and it said updating library, but then i played music without a problem. this morning i uninstalled quicktime cause i never use it. so i think that might have messed it up. so i uninstalled everything and reinstalled itunes 7.2 and now i get this.

    iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback. So it's best not to uninstall it if you want to use iTunes.
    When that message you're getting cites that "Offset: 10004000", almost invariably it's caused by a broken QuickTime. So let's try swapping that out again, this time applying some additional explicit precautions.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • How can a family of 6 share the same itunes library?

    My family has a major problem on our hands. We are new to ipods and itunes. We have 1 itunes account. My sons are too young to have their own accounts. They are too young for a credit card, and can't have a paypal account until they're 18. We want to keep our music separate from each others. How do we do this with only one library? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    One thing not mentioned is that if you decide on the multiple user approach, you can have your music folder in Shared Documents so you only store the tracks once.
    Each user is free to choose which of those tracks they want in their library.
    There is an Apple help article on multiple users.

  • How can I Migrate/Split itunes/icloud account for a large family now that they have family sharing

    Ok, now that Apple has finally come out with family sharing I need to get things sorted out and I think it is going to be a mess. I have 6 family members (my spouse and 4 children) all sharing/using one itunes account. For parental reasons this made perfect sense. Now with the the advent of family sharing and such we have alot of sorting and migrating to do and I am very unsure how to go about it. Here is what we have.
    Myself - I have a 64GB iPad 3 and a 64GB iPhone 5
    Spouse - 64GB iPhone 5
    Children - x4 16GB iPhone 5C (pink, blue, green, and a yellow)
    We have had one itunes account now for several years, we used to have x4 16GB iphone 4's and a 16GB iPod touch 4 so we needed it to be shared at the time. We all have different Game Center ID's and Facetime/iMessages are all setup to the phone numbers (aside from mine which also uses the itunes e-mail). We currently have 1 upgraded icloud account with 200GB of storage on it (love the new tiers). So here are the questions.
    1) How do I go about using and isolating all the devices so they can all use the iCloud storage? Right now if I try and setup backups by device under the what to backup there is no simple "Full Backup" option, they have all the categories separated. I cannot backup my daughters contacts without forcing a merging of them and so on. Same thing with Documents and Data. Would I need to setup a different iCloud account for each device now?
    2) iTunes Music/App purchases. Now that they have a family sharing function I am assuming it would be a good time to separate all the devices (aside from my personal iPad/iPhone). If I understand correctly we need to setup a new itunes account for each and link them with family sharing, does this then allow us to disperse/move items from a singular to the multiple account (at least a one time option to move around) or would it simply be shared off the original account? My daughter for example will be 18 next summer and as such no longer under our care. How do we move her items to her account? She has a lot of purchased Music. Now keep in mind I am talking about an account for someone who was 12 when she had her first device and as such needed to be under her parents.
    I just want to state that repurchasing things is NOT an option, and to be frank,  according to Canadian laws pertaining to *licensing* we actually own the product if we paid for it and have the right to transfer the ownership thereof. This issue went through the courts regarding used copies of OEM editions of Microsoft Windows several years ago and they closed the legal *license* vs ownership separation.

    Go to appleid.apple.com to manage the ID, sign in and select to the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right.  At the present time you may not be able to enter the correct birth date, but others have had success changing the year to 2000, or the date to 1/1/2001, both of which will have child ID status.

  • How Can I Get an iTunes Store Account?

    Hello there,  If I sign in to iTunes via create a new account the Mac says  'Just use existing account' - but do not have one
    When I do that the Mac says 'No you need to create account', when I do that the Mac says 'No you have an existing account' when i do that and so on and so on for ever.   Advice offered via Communities was of no avail the software is in a mad lopp of repettion. Surely there is a way to stop its little brain acting like a toddler? 

    It's probably the same Apple ID you used when you first set up your Mac. Do you have that info?

  • How can i transfer money from one itunes account to another

    any way to use my husbands itune money to purchase an app for my phone with my account

    If you sync your phone to a computer that his account is authorised on then you could try buying it on his account and sync it to your phone - but it will be tied to his account, so only his account will be able to download any future updates to it.

  • Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

    Hello everybody
    My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
    Thank you in advance

    I would strongly recommend you not do this.  You will regret it.
    I have played with this issue a lot.  You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there.  You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again.  This really is not what you want to do.
    Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music.  You don't want to go though the other process.
    Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
    all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id.  if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app.  You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time.  They are all linked together.

  • ICloud with multiple family members sharing one iTunes account?

    How will iCloud work for the case where multiple family members share an iTunes account but each has his/her own iPhone/iPad/PC?
    Will iCloud replicate content based on email address, unique Apple ID, iTunes account, or??  If iTunes, we could have trouble as three of us share our iTunes account (started when our daughter was young and continued for simplicity).

    Keep one Apple ID for iTunes purchases (apps, music, etc.) for all family members on the iTunes Store and use different Apple IDs for each iCloud user. That worked for me.

  • How can 2 family members who share an iTunes library both use iTunes match?

    My wife and I both share an iTunes library on the same Macbook and both sync our phones to that computer. We each have our own Apple ID and we use a 3rd account for iCloud for Photostream. In ios5 we were able to both access the music library on our iPhones via iTunes match while signed in under our unique IDs. Now, it will only let one ID access the music on the phones.  How can I get it to work like it used to, where we can both access the music while both continuing to be logged in under our own IDs on our own phones?

    I am taking this slowly so I have not added my iTunes music to the new laptop yet until I figure out how to make it work. But I have just downloaded a digital copy of The Dark Knight and when I log on to my girlfriends user and open iTunes, the video is not there. When I log back into my user and connect her iPhone to iTunes, I am not allowed to drop in the movie. That is where I am at. I need to be able to add my stuff to her iPhone and her stuff to my iPhone without syncing and losing all info.
