Itunes won't display my library

I just upgraded to Itunes 11, and have noticed a huge isue. My library is now gone. When I click the "Artists" page, it says I can Go to the iTunes store, or Scan for Music. When I click Scan for music, it says it is adding files, which I know are song names because I know the songs, then it gets the album artwork, finishes, and I am right back where I started. I can search for my music in the search bar, and it will pop up, but it will not play. Not sure what to do here.
Thanks

K so here is another good one. If I go to the "Playlists" section, and look at recently added, all my music shows up. But if I click back onto songs, albums, artists, it all dissapears again. So Itunes knows that it is in there, it just refuses to show it to me under anything other then Recently Added.

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

Itunes won't display my episode descriptions

Hey,
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm pretty new at this. I just submitted my first podcast to itunes and the listing won't display me episode descriptions. Would someone be so kind as to check my RSS file?
The URL of the RSS file is
www.indigoimp.com/poweredbysatan/pbscomedypodcast.xml
The itunes listing is
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=123048064&s=143 441
and the line that may be giving me trouble (but which looks ok to me) is..
<itunes:summary>All a man really needs in life is sex, beef, sleep, and a big stick to wack things with. In this epsiode the artist explains why beautiiful women must bring beef. Episode includes his beloved song "You Must Give Me Beef"</itunes:summary>
Thanks in advance!

Chemholio, welcome to the discussions!
Your <itunes:summary> tag looks fine, and if it's in the <channel> tag, will appear as the podcast description.
If it's in the <item> tag, it will display when someone clicks the circled "i". That's where you have it.
If you want it to appear under the "Description" column for episodes, then you must use the <itunes:subtitle> tag.
Check the example at

Hope this is helpful.

My iTunes won't display the artwork

My iTunes on a jukebox setting won't display the artwork. It currently has an error message of "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".
It was working fine the other day. I have updated it version when I received the error message but still nothing.
However when i select the middle view option, it shows the artwork.
Please help. The black screen is annoying!

....it's my cover flow view that is not working!!!!!!

Iphoto won't display photo library

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.3.2 and to Mountain Lion on my iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
I'm not 100% sure when this problem occured, but now, when I open iPhoto, it won't display any photos. All it shows is a note saying "To get started with iPhoto...etc"
I've tried the following so far:
- repair permissions
- disk repair
- holding down option command when opening iPhoto and choosing repair database and rebuild database (nothing happened on either occasion)
- tried launching earlier versions of iPhoto from my Time Machine back-up: 9.3.1; 9.3; 9.2.3. Got the same problem with each
- tried to import photos. Tried several different ones but always, iPhoto would hang on 'finishing import'
- tried rebuild library in iPhoto Library Manager but I get an error: An error occurred trying to open the database at /Users/MichaelSasha/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Database/apdb/Library.apdb (14)
I also have a Mac Mini and have successfully upgraded to iPhoto 9.3.2 & Mountain Lion and have no problems with photos. I accessed the Mac Mini from the iMac and copied across a photo and tried to import it on the iMac but got the 'finishing import' hanging issue
This is really puzzling me! I've exhausted all the options I can think of. Hoping someone out there has any suggestions.

Did you try restoring an earlier version of you iPhoto Library and see if it would open with iPhoto? If you have with no success then try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and run a new library then the problem lies with your current library. And, since you've tried all of the repair fixes the only option left is:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

ITunes Won't Display (or Play) my Music

I just booted up iTunes on a brand new MacBook running Yosemite 10.10, with iTunes 12.0.0.140.
When I change the "Advanced" Preferences to point to the folder on my external drive, it has no effect whatsoever - Apple iTunes does not display my playlists and is apparently unable to find my music and media. Clicking the annoying "Scan for Media" button also does nothing (and gives no reason as to WHY it does nothing - excellence in software design. LOL!)
I have tried quitting iTunes and restarting. I have also tried rebooting the laptop (which is absurd, but one thread said this was necessary? Wow...)
What the is the deal with this? What "magic secret sauce" do I need to apply to get iTunes to work? This is a major P.I.T.A.
- da

hi - I can't log into my old ID because the email account does not exist (why I changed my apple ID to begin with). I sent an email to Apple and they responded with basically the same advice - asking for my old ID information. I have only one ACCOUNT but two (old and new) ID's that I have purchased music under. However, when Itunes asks me to authorize my music, it will not play the songs after I have authorized them using both IDs (ie changing back to the old id name does nothing). Some of the songs that won't play were bought using both ID names - in other words, I can only play what was bought really recently, not just what was bought with the new ID.
also - the songs that will not play do not appear under my "purchase history" for my account.
Sorry if this does not make sense. I would really like to be able to play the 100+ songs that I have purchased in the past and can no longer access!
Thanks

ITunes won't open the library I backed up to my ext. HDD?

I recently reformatted my windows 7 Acer laptop, my itunes library was all consolidated and I copied the iTunes folder from music to the hdd, after reinstalling windows I downloaded iTunes, copied and replaced the itunes folder in music with the one on my drive, opened it with shift and chose the library but iTunes will not open my library it just opens to a empty iTunes? All my media is in the folder and will open and play in iTunes if I double click on a individual song, movie ECT.. How do I get my itunes back?

I am having the exact same problem. Checked firewall and it does not appear to be the problem. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled and the bar to load iTunes will get about halfway and then go away and I am left with a white page with iTunes Store as the only script. It was happening last evening as well...

ITunes won't display ipod contents

I manage my ipod manually. I have upgraded to iTunes version 7.6.0.29. I can add music to my ipod, but I can't figure out how to get iTunes to display the music that is on my ipod so that I can delete some of it. How can I see a list of what is on the ipod in iTunes?

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
PS.
There really is no need to ask the same question in 5 different forums.

Itunes - No artwork displaying in Library/Music Store/Pocasts etc.

I have just upgraded to the latest version of itunes and wthis worked with no problem for a few days - I then had to do a system restore and re-install this and now all I get where the artwork should be is a blank white space (library) or black boxes in music store and anywhere else (pocasts etc) that should display artwork. When downloading a podcast to my ipod the artwork is now missing from th ipod itself (although all previous artwork is there).
Any ideas on how to fix this much appreciated.

The mystery continues...
I now notice I can't play any music or videos in itunes - I can select the item but it doesn't play at all - the diamond doesn't even move...
Help!!!!

My itunes won't share its library

I have recently purchased a new laptop and wanted to transfer my library from one laptop to the other. After searching about I discovered home sharing so download itunes onto my new laptop and turned homesharing on for both laptops under the same apple ID. However my old laptops library isn't appearing in my new laptops itunes! On my old laptop the new laptops library is being shared and I can see that but not via versa. I updated itunes on my old laptop so both itunes were the same but stil nada. Not sure if its a problem with old laptop or the new one....

here's the best place to start with that error message:
iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod

ITunes won't show shared library on Mac

So, I have a network of a Mac Mini G4, a PC desktop with Win XP, and a netbook with Win XP. I have iTunes running on each machine - iTunes 10.0.1 on the two Win XP machines, and iTunes 9.2.1 on a Mac Mini G4 with OS X 10.4.11. I have authorized each iTunes with the same iTunes account. And I have verified that all three machines are on the same subnet and in the same network (SMB is set up to the same name as the Windows machines). I can share files between all three machines in any direction. However, I can only access shared libraries in iTunes on the two PCs - the Mac Mini never displays any shared libraries in iTunes.
I have gone into Preferences on all three machines and verified that each is set up to look for shared libraries and share their libraries. I even enabled Home Sharing on each machine just in case. But still, I can access the Mac library from both PCs and play the music, and I can access the PC libraries from each PC. But I cannot access either PC library from the Mac Mini.
Any ideas??

UPDATE:
Figuring the main link in the chain is the fact I'm using a 3rd party USB wifi adapter on my Mac Mini, I unplugged it, and plugged the Mini directly into the router with an ethernet cable. Everything works fine then - iTunes library sharing works, and the Touch can now access it with the Remote app.
So, apparently it is the Planex GW-US54GXS USB Wifi adapter that is the problem. Completely uninstalled the drivers for the Planex wifi device, restarted, reinstalled, still same problem.
Wierd thing is I can still access the internet, and do file sharing between all devices. Just iTunes communication is a problem.
Any ideas what the Planex wifi device might be interfering with iTunes?
