Latest update steals my library

Just updated to v.9.03.15...no problem until I opened iTunes. My complete library of 2000+ tracks has gone. Checked the library file and it is empty!!! System Restore does not help as Library file is still empty.
My backup is on my iPod. Anybody know how to copy files from iPod to iTunes??

So, itunes is blank, but are the files still on your PC? You could just drag them into the blank library.
If the music & video files are really gone from your PC, these directions talk about getting them off your ipod.

  • Latest updates delete System/Library/StartupItems folder

    One of the following updates delete the System/Library/StartupItems folder:
    Migration Assistant Update for Mac OS X Snow LEopard 1.0
    Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.1
    Safari 5.1
    Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.0
    iTunes 10.4
    iWork Update 6 9.1
    This is on a MBP 13-inch, Early 2011 running 10.6.8.
    It causes the machine to freeze at intermitent periods of times and reports the following error message in the console:
    com.apple.launchd [1] (com.apple.SystemStarter) Failed to count the number of files in "/System/Library/StartupItems" : No such file or directory
    There have been posts on how to fix this, but why is it being deleted by these updates?

    I have the same console mesages repeating ad-nasium as you do. What is interesting is I do have the StartuoItems directory but it is empty. The problem I have is that the log-in window comes up as normal, but I can not type in it for about 5-8 seconds. This has started after the latest updates which you mention. Don't know if this issue is related or not. Have deleted the loginwindows and loginitems preferences to no effect.

  • After installing latest update Realplayer recording no longer works, I think Mozila is using a library file with the same name

    After installing the latest update to Firefox onto Vista operating system the record part of real player no longer works, I think Mozila and Real are using a library file with the same name and the Mozila update is overwriting a Realplayer library file.

    I was giong to say, "Help me, Adobe Joe Kenobi", but it looks like you're growing a beard waiting for an answer, too.
    The same thing happened to me today. I trusted the "update" message since it was from Adobe, and apprently did so at my own peril. Now I get the "failed to load Core dll" message with a secondary reference to a memory address.
    Just an observation, but what good are these forums when there are no answers? I see this problem as "Caused by Adobe Update", and would expect them to troublshoot and offer up a remedy. Since you've been waiting over two months with no response, I suppose it's time to trek off wasting more of my precious time to fix their problem. If I find the solution, I'll post it back to you.
    May the Force be with you.

  • The latest update has resulted in a runtime error (R6034) and I keep being told Microsoft Visual C   Runtime Library is being accessed incorrectly.  Anyone know how to overcome the problem?  I am using a Dell Inspiron  9400 running Vista.

    The latest update to itunes has resulted in a whole series of runtime errors (R6034).  Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library states it is being accessed incorrectly.  I am also told that Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start.  Additional messages suggest the error is in itunes.exe and ituneshelper.exe.  I also get Error 7 (Windows error 1114).  Anyone got any ideas how to overcome this (these) problems?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits.  However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number.  If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • HT202213 Why would my Apple TV suddenly stop recognizing my library.  Nothing has changed.  How can I test the Apple TV.  I have the latest updates.

    Why would my Apple TV suddenly stop recognizing my library.  Nothing has changed.  How can I test the Apple TV.  I have the latest updates.

    Could have to do with home sharing. Try turining off and then back on home sharing on your AppleTV.

  • After latest update (11. something) most of my library is gone

    I don't know what I did, or what itunes did, but I downloaded the latest update and then synced my ipod touch and ran out the door. When I returned, I was looking for a particular album and that's when I realized that 70% or more of my library is gone. It's not in my music files in My Computer. I don't know where to look for it. I had songs/albums in my library that I no longer have the CDs for. Most of that music was sentimental things. Please help!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
    - Backing up and restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    - Go to the OverDrive support site

  • TS1741 Remote no longer connects to iTunes - since latest updates.

    Was working just fine before latest updates.  All devices (iPhone 4 & iPad) have Home Sharing enabled as well as iTunes. Windows 8.
    Anyone else?
    Are we waiting for a fix?
    Thank you.

    OK IT IS WORKING FOR ME NOW.
    I am not sure if this is what fixed it, but it wasn't working, I did the following and now it works. It's worth trying...
    - In iTunes preferences under "sharing" I un-checked "share my library on my local network" and hit OK.
    - In iTunes "advanced" menu bar, clicked "Turn Off Home Sharing" and then turned it back on.
    - Re-checked "share my library on my local network" under preferences.
    - Quit and re-start iTunes.
    Again, I don't know which of these steps fixed the issue (if any) but now both my remote app (iPhone4) and AppleTV (2nd gen) connect fine to my iTunes 10.1.2 library.
    Good luck!

  • I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed though.

    I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed in the iTunes library.  When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
    P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out.  However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow.  When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list.  I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs.  Then I did a sync and it happened again!
    I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud.  Any thougnts?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
