  • My library will not show up in Itunes after moving library

    I moved my library folder from my C drive (my primary drive) to my D drive because I was running out of space on my C drive. I did this through My Computer and not through iTunes. Then, my library does not show up in iTunes.
    I moved the folder back to my C drive and everything, but to no avail. I read the tutorial on the Apple website called "Moving your iTunes folder," and I read the first 1,000 or so posts and nothing really solved my problem. There were other posts that were sort of related, but my case differs in that I moved the folder back to the same place it was before and nothing showed up.
    This happened before, and I was able to fix it. I thought I did the same thing again, but apparently not, since it's still not showing up. I tried every imaginable thing. I looked at under preferences, advanced, and then made sure the iTunes music folder was the same as the one I had my files in. Still, nothing is showing up. I know where my files are and everything, but iTunes acts like no files were even imported.
    I have tried importing songs into iTunes, but it doesn't show up on iTunes, so that rules out importing my files again.
    Please help me. I really am at a loss of what to do. Thanks so much!

    hey.
    finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
    i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried the 'Purchased' option in the top right corner of the Store window in iTunes

  • New Laptop, windows 8, can not get logged into iTunes.

    Hi
    I have a new laptop with Windows 8. I've installed iTunes but can not get logged onto my account or home sharing etc. I keep getting a pop up message
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request"
    "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"
    I've already unauthorized my old laptop to make way for the new one so it can't be that.
    My iTunes libary is stored on an external harddrive and even though I chnaged to location folder in the iTunes settings it's still not picking up any of that either.
    Any suggestions before I launch the whole lot out the window??
    Thanks

    Try the following:
    If you see a message that your computer can’t connect to the iTunes Store, click another item (Podcasts, for example) and click iTunes Store again. If it still doesn’t connect, make sure your Internet connection is working—open a web browser and visit a website. If your Internet connection is OK, there may be a problem with the iTunes Store. Try visiting the store again later.
    Make sure your computer’s date, time, and time zone are set correctly.
    Make sure your account information is accurate and that you don’t need to correct a problem with a previous purchase. Enter the iTunes Store, click your account name at the top of the iTunes Store window, and sign in to your account. To verify your account information, click Edit Account Info and Edit Payment Information.
    If you’re having trouble signing in to the store using your AOL account, your AOL account might not work with the iTunes Store in your country. Only U.S. and U.K. customers can sign in using their AOL accounts.
    Make sure the iTunes Store is available in your country. For more information, visit the iTunes website.

  • New MacBookPro 13": iPhone 3G not showing up in iTunes

    My old MacBookPro crashed and I bought a new one. I could not save anything from the old one - (and please do not ask for my backup!)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 3G it does not show up in iTunes.
    What has happened and what am I to do?

    When you say you have tried all the suggested steps, what have you done?  If it is being seen on another computer, I would think that the problem is with the computer you are using and not the phone.  Try using another usb port on the computer.  Then try this...

  • Am syncing my iPhone 4 to a new laptop. It will not allow me to transfer music from this new laptop/iTunes to my phone. Why? And how do i fix this?

    Hi there,
    I have a new laptop.
    I have music on my laptop that I have not purchased through iTunes (ie, uploaded CD's, copied to my laptop from my old computer, etc).
    For some reason, iTunes will not allow me to transfer this music to my iPhone. I get the "red circle with the cross through it" symbol when I try to drop it into the iPhone..
    Can someone suggest a way that I can oversome this and add my music to my phone from my new computer?
    At this stage, I can only add music to it via the old iTunes/old computer that the phone was originally synced to.
    Cheers

  • I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. It is a mac. It hasn't had an update in a while and it needs an update to update apps and download new apps. It will not show up in itunes to get the update, nor will it let me update on the iPod. ???

    I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. There are other ipods hooked up on this one, but this one won't work. it hasn't had an update in a while, and it won't let me update it because it won't connect to itunes, or show up on the computer. There is no place that says there is a software update on the ipod. I was wondering how to get it updated or at least get it connected to itunes?

  • How do I restore my iTunes library when "Previous iTunes Library" is not showing up in iTunes folder?

    I turn off my PC with Windows 7 for an hour, turn it back on and suddenly the only songs that show up are ones in the Cloud.
    I looked through a bunch of questions on the Apple Support Communitities and they all say look for the "Previous iTunes Library" in the iTunes folder, but it's not there.
    Thanks.

    If you have AVG AntiVirus the issue may rear its head again. See this post.

  • I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

    I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out.  The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for.  Is this a stupid question?

    Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro.  If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook.  Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad.  Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

    Double check the version of iTunes on your computer. You must have iTunes 11.1 or later.
