ITunes upgrade, moved destination

Last night I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and changed the iTunes destination via preferences from my C drive(small hard drive partition with Documents and Settings) to my D drive(large hard drive partition with just Documents Folder)to increase the available space. After doing this, my music library completely disappeared - found it via search, but have been having major issues getting my music back into the "new" iTunes music folder. In addition, if I attempt to synch my iPod, it tells me that my iPod is "already synched with another iTunes library" and just gives me the options of purging my iPod and re-synching with my now partial "new" library which I obviously don't want to do and "uploading the purchased songs" from the iPod to the library, which I did. Can anyone tell me how to have the iPod recognize this "new" library? The iPod library currently has around 1200 more songs than the "new" library that i have attempted to restore. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It doesn't find the "iTunes.msi" file.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I have recently moved all of my files to a larger external hard drive, but when I am reminder of an itunes upgrade it's still attempting to go to the old drive. How can I change the settings so it automatically goes to my new hard drive?

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

Latest iTunes update moved some (but not all) Music Videos to Film catalogue.

iTunes has moved 1 of my music videos (Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.) to Films so now it appears in my film list instead of my music list. It had somehow changed some of the detils to match one of the films in my Films list (Simon Peggs 'Paul') including it's name (at first I though it had just replaced Pauls image with one from the Gorrilaz song).
Going into the Get Info menu option to change file types from Film to Music Video is impossible as the 'media kind' dropbox is set to 'Film' and greyed out.
I've tried deleting and re-downloading it from iTunes but it puts it in the same place. Any ideas how to get this to move back to the music list?
I've noticed that a lot (although, not all) of the music that I've purchased through iTunes is now duplicated (with a cloud download icon) and was wondering if it was related to this?

Sign out of the store, sign back in again.

Just did the iTunes upgrade and it wiped the phone and put all my bf info since it was his computer?. Any ideas

Just did the iTunes upgrade and it changed all my info to my boyfriends since I had to use his computer ? Any ideas

If you've just moved the drive between systems then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows just in case that reveals the missing files. Apply to a single album folder first as a test. Otherwise, if you've not done too much with the drive since things went missing, an undelete tool might recover the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted that looks recoverable. Backup to another drive when you're done.

ITunes keeps moving files to wrong directory

This has happened twice now. I go to play an album and get the ! and that iTunes cannot find the files. I dig around in my MAcBook's hard drive and find a folder labeled Music Drive with about 200 randomly selected albums. I move them back to my external drive and erase the folder on my MacBook hard drive and the next day they are back again. Anybody run into this one?

I figured this out. Not sure if it's the same problem or solution for others, but definitely wanted to share what I found.
Initially I had moved the songs from my hard drive back to my computer. I have 30 Gig, so that was a pain. The problem still occurred. Then I figured it out.
I had a niece that had plugged her iPod into my computer. As a result, she had saved music onto my computer. I later found out that it was music that her friends had downloaded from the internet, etc. (Justin Bieber, etc.). Anyway, I started watched the Hard Drive where iTunes was moving files and started to watch exactly what tracks it was moving. I started to remove those from iTunes. After I felt assured I had moved those files which were being moved, I then reimported the remainder into iTunes fresh. There was something about those files that was causing problems. After I removed those offending songs, it worked just fine. I can move it back to the hard drive, etc. and it all works just fine with those songs deleted. I was able to figure it out by 1) figuring out that my niece had done this back about the time that the problem occurred 2)watching which songs were getting moved initially and starting the problem.
I hope this helps. It seems pretty isolated and may be specific to me.

TS1453 after itunes upgraded to latest 11.0.2.26 apple tv (1st gen)does not show up anywhere in itunes

After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes

I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
Here's the details:
I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return.
Both have latest software downloads.
I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
Have you ever wronged a two year old?
It is NOT pretty.
Help me Apple-wan-kenobi...I can't take the screaming!

After iTunes upgrade, calendar and bookmarks no longer update during sync

After completing the most recent iTunes upgrade, my phone will complete a backup and seems to go through the sync process. However, the calendar items and bookmarks will not update with any changes that were applied in Outlook or Internet Explorer. Also, previously, I would receive a "syncing calendar" message (or something similar) during the process, and that no longer occurs.

same problem here after itunes 9.1 update. seems to be a common problem:

Unable to Turn on Home Sharing after iTunes upgrade

After the latest iTunes upgrade onYosemite, I get an 'Unable to Turn on Home Sharing' error on my 2 Apple TVs plus iPhone and iPad. Previously, I had no problem. I have restarted and reset my iTune on my MacBook plus all the devices now receiving an error message and the inability to utilize Home Sharing.
I can send videos to my Apple TVs from my MacBook through AirPlay, so this is not a network error.

Hi MomjiDoll!
I have an article for you that will help you troubleshoot your ability to use the Home Sharing feature:

IWeb not opening after iTunes Upgrade

This evening I downloaded the update for iTunes, now 8.2.1 (6), and since then I have been unable to open iWeb using either the application shortcut in the Dock or via Finder. The iWeb toolbar appears but attempting to click on any of the menu items simply produces the multi-coloured wheel.
Before the iTunes upgrade was installed I had never had a problem with iWeb or any of the other applications.

iTunes is the biggest pain on a Mac and I have it set not to open! I haven't updated for so long that I can't remember if a restart is required.
If you didn't do a restart after upgrading, follow the steps under "Fix iWeb" here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
I always restart after updating any Apple software and do it at least a couple of times a week and then run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Macs are fairly bomb proof but they do need routine maintenance. I run an weekly incremental backup to a bootable external firewire hard drive every week using Super Duper. This application automatically repairs permissions and then I do a restart.
Time machine makes us lazy in this respect!

Phone frozen after itunes upgrade

Ran the itunes upgrade today. My phone was connected to the computer at the time. Got a text message during the intall and called a friend. Phone has been frozen ever since. Tried to do a restore but cannot. Get an error saying the phone is in "recovery mode". When I run the restore get an "unknown error" message. The only thing that is visible on my screen is the itune logo and the usb cable, suggesting I should connect the phone to itunes. Followed all the suggestion to restore on two computers and no dice! What up Apple?!

if you have taken back up of the iphone before you attempted software update, then yuor photoes are already in itunes as back up. After getting it jailbroken, i synced my phone with itunes and got all the data, including games, data, emails and everything from itunes.
So iOS 6 has issues with software, rather i feel apple has done it with an intention so that people can replace the same handset for USD 200.
hi Apple team, please dont penalise customer for bugs in your software. There are millions you trust you as company of repute, I am unfortuanetly happy after jailbreaking iphone 3GS.

Problems after itunes upgrade.

I recently upgraded itunes to the current version on two of my windows/xp pc's.
On the first one I didn't have any problems.
On the second one, after the pc rebooted, all of the personal settings for the administrator account that was used to do the upgrade were gone, and the itunes library for the account was gone.
After some looking around on the pc, I found that the path for My Documents for the account had been changed from C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\My Documents to C:\Document and Settings\TEST\My Documents.
Everything under the original path for the account is still there, so all I need to do is get the My Documents path pointed back to where it originally was, but when I try to do this, I get a message saying that the path I am trying to point to is not authorized.
Does anyone know why the itunes upgrade would have changed the My Documents path? And does anyone know how I can change it back to where it should be pointing to?

Good news
I had no problems updating my ipod and iphone to iOS4. But all I wanted was the folder option, I knew that my 3G does not support multitasking due to the slower CPU and build in memory.
Here's a little help to decide about your update, in case you haven't see this yet.
Enjoy your ipod.
Compatibility
The iOS 4 Software Update works with the second- and third-generation iPod touch. Not all features are compatible with all devices.
Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.
Books are available on the iBookstore. Title availability is subject to change.
Faces works only with iPhoto on the Mac.

Error message after iTunes upgrade

The error message reads:
"The attempt to burn the disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
What does this mean?
I am using the same discs as I always have. I just installed the latest upgrade. version 6.0.5
imac Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Well, I thought that the iTunes upgrade had something to do with my inability to burn CDs. I can't say for sure that was the case but I do know that what fixed my problem (if you can believe this) was installing the QuickTime update. I'm thinking that the iTunes update corrupted something, but installing the QT update corrected the problem. Now I can burn with no problems whatsoever. You may want to give it a try.

After yesterday installing the latest itunes upgrade 11.1.5.5 my CD drive is no longer recognized. I do not have the file afs.sys on my computer which is supposed to cause the problem. Any ideas?

I yesterday installed the latest itunes upgrade to version 11.1.5.5. After doing so my computer no longer recognizes my cd drive Device manager states that windows cannot load the device driver, the device driver may be corrupted or missing. When I have tried to renew the driver it states the latest one is installed. I do not have the file afs.sys on my computer which is quoted as the file which causes optical drives to disappear. Any ideas

Hi, I've managed to get my CD & ipod working now but it wasn't easy. Maybe this will help you fix it.
This is what I did:
The problem: OS Windows 8.1 - was working ok with itunes (not sure which version). Upgraded to 11.1.5.5 and my old ipod stopped being recognised by itunes. As I had just bought a new ipod touch 5G I didn't pay too much attention however I soon realised that the new ipod wasn't recognised either. I uninstalled iTunes & reinstalled but that didn't fix it. I found a technote (see below) that says how to get get your ipod reconised. That worked but on a a reboot I realised that there was no CD drive appearing in windows.
It now works & this is what I did to fix it:
Went through the apple technotes on CD issues & looked a the Gear website
Looked for afs.sys file but didn't have that
The registry settings for device filters looked the same as the technotes
Device manager for CD said there were problems in the registry
I backed up the itunes folder (I was planning on a clean install & rebuilding itunes from scratch however most people want to keep their data)
I uninstalled itunes but that made no difference
I rolled back to the a system restore point that had been created not long before the upgrade to 11.1.5.5
The CD drive was now OK again
I went into Windows update and ran the updates that were available - one was for intel chipsets
I created a system restore point as a precaution
I found the registry key that is mentioned in the technotes to do with CD problems and device filters and backed it up separately as a precaution
I ran itunes (x64) 11.1.5.5
itunes asked me if I wanted to repair or uninstall - I uninstalled
I rebooted
I ran install for itunes 11.1.5.5
itunes installed ok & the CD was still there
ipods were not recognised
I followed the instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 to update the driver
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed - For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver
I now have a CD drive & iTunes recognises my ipod again - phew
Good luck

Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.
