ITunes Library does not appear in iDVD

When I open iDVD 6, I don't see my iTunes Library in the Media panel. Actually, I don't see my music library in iPhoto either. How do get other iLife applications to find my library?
I tried recreating my iTunes XML file by following these instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=32152
I did recently move my home directory from one hard disk to another using the NetInfo Manager utility. But I reconnected my library in iTunes in the preferences.
Thanks for your help,
Sandy

Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

Itunes Library does not appear to be a valid music library

Ever since downloaded Itunes 5, deleted started again back with 4.9 I have had nothing but problems. All my tunes are stored on an external hard drive.
I have just reloaded all my music and tidied it all up nicely and then when it went to update the ipod this is the message I got :
The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid music library file.
iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file iTunes 4musiclibrary(damaged)1.itl
PLEASE HELP as this is really cracking me up now.

This is really old, not sure how much still applies:

Itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library file

i'm importing AIFF files into itunes, converting those to AAC and deleting the original AIFF files. i tried to import an album of AIFF's and received a message that i didn't have enough hard drive space to import so itunes would import as many of the files as it could. i knew i'd get to this point and would have to transfer some files onto my hard drive. however, when i clicked okay, the computer froze. i restarted manually and received the following message after attempting to open itunes "the file 'itunes library 2009-12-06' does not appear to be a valid itunes library file. itunes has created a new itunes library and renamed this file to 'itunes library (damaged)'." i'm not sure why this happened and i can't find 'itunes library (damaged)' anywhere. i have all my music still i just can't get itunes back to the way it was. please help! thanks so much.

I'll try and make this as concise as possible. Was following another thread that was "archived" without a solution. I randomly will get the error message 1450 "itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library - renamed library damaged." I've done everything and I'm at level 2 with phone support. The fixes we've tried seem to solve the problem momentarily but a few weeks will go by and the problem happens again. I loose all my podcasts and have to reload all music. My daughters have a different user account on the same computer and it happens to them as well. We have tried only loading itunes music files and that doesn't fix the problem either. We've reinstalled many times. I have an internal additional hard drive where I store the music but I've tried installing and saving everything on my original drive and the problem happens that way as well. I've read many threads and those of us with this problem aren't finding any answers. Please Apple or someone help with this. I'm ready to change phones and music players.

My itunes library does not appear when I open iMovie

When I have iMovie open and want to add a song from my iTunes library, my iTunes library does not populate.

the reference to the Apple memo did not work for me. I am not sure whether my identical problem was preceded by the Apple upgrade of iTunes, OR the back-up I did two days ago to an external drive.
In any event, the instructions did not match my hard drive configuration, so I just decided to restore iTunes via Time Machine. Now I have my library back!

ITunes Library does not appear when I open Itunes

New iTunes library does not appear

I've just got my new MacBook Pro and want to move my iTunes library to the new Mac. Followed the article about this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173) except i used Firewire to move the iTunes folder. After replacing the iTunes folder on the new Mac with the one from the old Mac i start iTunes. BUT the program still uses the wrong library. I also tried restarting the Mac.
One more question: In the iTunes-folder in my old Mac there is a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries" containing 3 files: "iTunes 4 Music Libray", "iTunes 4 Music Library (Old)" and "iTunes Library 2005-9-15". Do I need theese or can they be thrown away?

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The problem seems to be your songs have not been added to your library. Use either drag & drop or File->Add to Library.
In regard to the Music Library files, use your own discretion after reading these:

ITunes Artwork Screensaver "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs

i have been using the iTunes Artwork Screensaver on my 1.25GHz PowerPC G4, running Leopard 10.5.2 and it has worked perfectly, showing all my album artwork. i got all the album covers from amazon.com or google. i have always kept my iTunes Library on my Boot Drive and have never moved it.
Yesterday when my computer went into screensaver mode (itunes artwork) the message "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork"!
This is really strange, as all the albums in my library have artwork. i have also tried deleting the iTunes Artwork Screensaver preference file.
I know that there are many issues with the artwork screensaver, but i have not found a solution to this problem.
I would appreciate anyones help!

i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one with this problem. i have seriously tried everything, like deleting the preference files of the itunes screensaver, using a script to embed the artwork, repairing disc permissions but i the screensaver just won't work. the message that my library does not contain any artwork still appear every time.

TS1538 When I open itunes, "Devices" does not appear at all in the left column on the screen, therefore I can not sync my ipod touch.

When I open itunes, "Devices" does not appear t all in the left column on the screen. I can not sync my ipod with my itunes library. Suggestions?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

TS5181 iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch, Why?

iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch. How can I fix this?

Ok, I have resolved this issue myself. I contacted Apple support but they had no clue.
The resolution is this, bring Siri up and say "radio". Radio comes up and you touch "now playing". Believe it or not the radio icon appears and remains.
I hope that helps other folk.
