ITunes Library Buttons Not Working

I have been using iTunes for a long time and have never seen this issue before, but now, when I open itunes, I can not use any of the links / buttons under the Library section on the left. I can open the iTunes store and navigate around just find, but when I click on any of the Library buttons, it attempts to load something but nothing actually loads.
For example, clicking on Music will load the Genius right sidebar (doesn't load the entire thing, but displays the gray box) but thats it. Nothing in the main area. When I click on Movies, I see the top tab buttons "Movies, Genre & Unwatched" but nothing in the body. Its like its completely hosed.
I've gone about fully uninstalling iTunes (and I mean FULLY) and re-installing, but I get the exact same results. Any thoughts on this one?

Jeff hello,
Trash the iTunes Library file in your iTunes folder and put back the backup copy... check the name is correct 'iTunes Library'
Put all your backed up music in the iTunes Music folder.
Start iTunes and it should all work... as a check set the preferences > advanced > general tab NOT to copy any files when adding to Library and DO keep iTunes Music folder orgaized... OK any changes.
From the file menu select 'add to library' and choose the iTunes Music folder.
let's know how you get on Jeff ... TP

ITunes store button not working

Help. The store button in iTunes is not working
When I press it nothing happens and if I follow a link to download a song it tells me the link is not valid.
This only seems to be an issue for the iTunes store, app store working fine.
Have tried all the usual things of restarting, resetting and logging out and back in again but problem persists
Using an iPad 2 with iOS 5 which is fully up to date. This has only happened since the upgrade to iOS 5
Help?!

Not sure about the layout on PC but try this.
(1) Starting at home screen (click the house icon top, middle). (2) Top right, click on Library button. (3) Next screen, top left, click the icon that says Music. It will pull up a menu where you can select Apps (also movies, tv, etc).
At the bottom right you should see your update button for your apps and telling you the count of those.
Good luck

ITunes Library does not work after update 10.4

After updating 2 days ago to Lion,yesterday i must update Itunes to 10.4.
After updating Itunes 10.4 can not see my Itunes Library anymore on my Drobo(Ext HDD)
I've try everything but it don't work anymore.
Please help!!!

Hi Michael, depending on which drobo you have, there are firmware updates you need to download from the drobo support site and install to your drobo, along with companion software on your new Lion system. You can probably do this from any mac that can see the drobo. Maybe even from Lion. For the first gen drobo (which I have) there's not yet a Lion firmware update.
Drobo (the company) says it's working on Time Machine, which for many people is failing to play nice with Drobo after the Lion upgrade. So you may have to wait a little longer for full Time Machine readiness.
Best of luck.

Itunes library backup not working

I currently have a backup of my itunes library file as well as the itunes music. I lost the orginal xml file and when I open itunes, I get a blank database library. When I try to add to library, nothing happens.
Should I try something else to get the back up to take or do i need to import all the music into the library after I import the datafile?
Thanks
jf

Add Files To iTunes Library is not working

I unlocked several files put them on my desktop then added them to my iTunes library by going to File>Add to Library but after it clearly shows it's being imported and finished I then search the library for it but there's nothing there of that sort. I try searching for the folder name I imported and the names of the tracks but nothing. Any ideas? I'm using the latest Mac OS and ITunes.

The headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted or nonstandard. This can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities, and iTunes is very picky about header. Try running your MP3s through this utility:
Mp3 Validator Mac version
It sometimes can fix the problem.
Hope this helps.

I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes library , but not working

I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes but its not working

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

Adding Movies or Pictures to iTunes Library Does not work. Why?

I have been trying to add some of my movies from my hardrive (as well as pictures) and I have not been able to see them in my library. I have looked through all the subcategories including podcasts and music and others but I still don't see the files added to my library. Thus, I am not able to load them to my iPod Touch. I have also tried to convert the movies to other file extensions/formats but that makes no difference. What can I do to fix this? the iTunes I have is the latest version, I downloaded it two weeks ago from Apple.com.

My movies are usually about low res at 700Mb max... I thought iTunes could support various file types though. I will try to convert them, but I should ask which file converter is best for that extension? I am not sure if the program I use is qualified enough to do more. I will look into that but what do you recommend?

Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

TS2776 I can't sync my iPhone movies. Have 3 movies but I get an error message that says some of the items in the iTunes library weren not copies because they could not be found. What do I do?

I can't sync my iPhone movies. I have 3 movies but now I am getting an error message that says some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied becuase they could not be found. Two of the movies are from the iTunes store and one is froma movie recently purchased.

Had the same issue, found a solution.
The iTunes Store open in my iTunes was U.S. and the apps on my iPad are from Switzerland's store. So I went to iTunes Store in iTunes, then opened the App Store tab and at the bottom right of this tab clicked the round american Flag button. Changed to Switzerland, went to Store>Authorize this computer (which it did sucessfully) and after that syncronization worked great. Hope this helps

OS 10.6.7 imac Itunes library can't be seen by imovie, iphoto or idvd though all can see iphotos. Apple tech had me reinstall imovie, iphoto and get the updates again and itunes library still not seen by rest of ilife '11 suite.

I have tried everything I saw in the forums but can't make iLife '11 apps see itunes library. Apple had me delete existing files for iphoto and imovie including the apps themselves and reinstall from the disks that came with my imac last month. This did not work. Itunes Library still not found by any of the iLife apps though they can see iphoto movies and photos. Is this really the way it is or is there a solution? I tried to install iLife Support 904 but it wouldn't install past the selection of install location; at that point the install button was grayed out. Update Software insists all software is up to date. Please help if you know the answer.

I have the exact same issue. Apple also directed me to do the same tasks... didn't correct the issue. We can not be the only ones with this issue.I can't add music from iTunes to any slideshows, iDVD's or anything. I have rebuilt my itunes Library as directed by Apple... no progress.

ITunes shuffle is not working anymore

iTunes shuffle is not working anymore after downloading latest version. The shuffle button is highlighted but it just plays the next track.

If you need to change the computer that the iPad is synced to then see this user-tip : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you don't have all of your content on a backup that you can copy onto your new computer and into its iTunes (File > Add To Library), then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases from the iPad to it via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases). For content from other sources (e.g. music that you copied form CDs) which you don't have on a backup, there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPad.
