Library has vanished???

I had a 6 month period where i didnt acces my account , when i did access my account my 2000 tracl library only had 132 songs in it ( and only about 18 of them were from my original library) normally it wouldnt be a big deal but my car was broken into and my backup cds were stole along with my 160 gig ipod last summer. i had just started rebuilding my library and really dont want to start over again. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Best to go back and copy the iPhoto Library Folder again. Then download BatchMod from here:

You can use it to correct the permissions on the iPhoto Library Folder. Use the Setting found here:

HT1391 All the music in my itunes library has vanished apart from the purchased items? why has this happened and where has it gone? It is no longer on my iphone or on my computer??

All my music in my itunes library has vanished apart from the purchased items! It is not in the music > itunes > itunes media folder, I've searched the entire system for mp3 and nothing. Why has this happened and where has it all gone?

HT1766 Recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off".

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
Any suggestions

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Itunes music library has vanished...help please!!!!!

Just use your backup copy to put everything back.

I updated iTunes and Safari and my iTunes library has vanished

Help, earlier today I was in Safari and it got hung for so long (10 or more minutes) that I turned to computer off by pressing the power button (I know this was not the best course of action, but I couldn't remember the keystroke command to force quit and I sure couldn't look it up because my browser was not responding). Okay, so when I restarted my computer kindly notified me that software updates were available for Safari, iTunes, and two security items, so I clicked to load them (I've had some annoying reauthorizing when doing this with iTunes before, but never a big problem). So the computer restarts after installing and I go to iTunes and there is no library, no playlists, nothing that was there before. I still have everything on my iPod, but I don't know how to retrieve the lost stuff (and no, I haven't backed it up, I have the ipod and the cd's and presumably the itunes store will restore my purchased files if it comes to that). If anyone has experience with this please guide me out of this tragic debacle. Thank you!

Look in your Users > [username] > Music > iTunes folder. What's there?
When you say you have "everything" on your iPod, is that "everything" that you are missing? If so, you can use Senuti (http://www.fadingred.org/senuti/) and reverse copy it.
From what I understand the iTMS will not restore lost music.

My iTunes Library has vanished

I have nothing in my iTunes library today. Everything is gone. I still have it all on my iPad, but not on my MacBook Pro. Any thoughts on how I can get my stuff back?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

My entire Library has vanished! HELP!

I tried to Create a New Library, b/c I thought I could separate my music I use for different purposes, and when I did, I can't fine the Old Library with ALL MY MUSIC! Can I retrieve it? HELP ME!!!!! please!!!!!!

Shift-click itunes open and open a previous, or existing library. Refer to the .itl files in My Music/Itunes. One of those .itl files is your original library. (unless you deleted it, if so, then it's gone).
If you want to switch from one library to another, just shift-click on itunes to open it and you can choose which to open.

My Aperture 3 library has vanished

HELP! This morning I imported photos and videos from my camera into my Aperture 3 library. Everything imported OK. I closed the app before lunch and when I went back, everthing is gone: new import and alI the rest of my library. I tried all three steps of the Aperture library First Aid. The steps seem to run OK but my library still isn't showing up. When I open the "show contents" folder from Finder, the MASTER folder is empty. I can't beleive I just lost all my photos.... Please help!
PS I am running on a Macbook air with OS X Lion 10.7.3.

Muriellefromnb,
are you sure you are viewing the right Aperture Library? The name of the library you are viewing is displayed in the upper left corner of the window.
If it is not the correct library, go to the Aperture menu bar, press "File -> Switch to Library" and look at the drop down menu, if you see your correct library and switch to that.
If you are viewing the correct library, then maybe your images are hidden: Look at the search fields in the Browser and the Library Inspector, if any search rules are set; if yes, clear the search fields.

Half of my music library has vanished from iTunes...help!

Ive lost most of my music in my itunes account. I cannot find it anywhere on my computer and am having trouble accessing the cloud. Has this happened to anyone and how do I restore?

Hi Nathan,
You need to make sure the external drive is mounted and accessible before opening iTunes.

My LR5 Library has vanished

Was using LR5 when the program froze. Having rebooted I opened LR5 again and was asked all the details as if it was a first install. Somehow the program opened without all the details, but to my horror the Library is completely EMPTY
Please advice

Look under File->Open Recent
If that doesn't contain your catalog, have your operating system search all of your hard disks for files with names ending with .LRCAT, if you find some double-click on each one to open it.

This is a know problem with the Sony Vaio.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8537277#8537277
There is some preloaded software that causes problems, I believe it can be configured to exclude the iTunes folder.
Sony have released a software update for some models of Vaio but I don't have the link to hand. I guess you could look on their support site.

ITunes library folder vanished from Time Capsule after iMac crash

Hi,
Up until tonight, I've had my entire iTunes library stored on my 1TB Time Capsule (TC) which is accessed by a couple of Macs. After a forced restart of my iMac, the iTunes library on the TC has disappeared. I was in the middle of a iPhone 4 sync if I recall ...
I've run Disk Warrior over the internal hard drive on the iMac to no avail. Disk Warrior cannot see the TC drive. I've disconnected all users and powered the TC off completely and let it restart. Again, the folder on the TC which contained the iTunes library has vanished. All other folders / files on the TC appear in tact.
I don't believe I've deleted it as the remaining disk space on the TC hasn't changed. So I think it's still there but maybe it's corrupted?
Does anyone know if it's possible to run a detailed check over the TC hard drive to see if there is some directory damage which is affecting the iTunes library.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated. I do have a backup although it's not quite up to date.
Regards
Mark

Anyone has an answer?

MY IMPORT BUTTON HAS VANISHED!

I have recently upgraded to iphoto6 and the blue import button in my library has vanished. Is that no longer an option? I have imported 10,000 photos in the past 3 years via a flash card reader by using this very basic import function and cannot figure what has happened to the button. As an alternative, I went to File > Import to Library but could not figure out where to find the card reader. I then tried to import photos directly from my camera (Nikon D50) and nothing happened when I plugged in the cable both with iphoto closed and then open.
Help...I need to have an empty flash card in the morning!
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

When you do File > Import to Library can you navigate
to the Desktop, and do you see your card reader at
the Desktop level? That's where my card reader goes.
I select columns view in the Finder so that I can see
which pictures I need to import.
Or, if that doesn't work...
Can you import using Image Capture?
Thanks for the advice. When I tried to go to File > Import to Library I was not able to find the card reader but I figured out after that attempt that the port I was using (the front port in the G5 tower) was not working....this probably would have worked if I'd plugged the card reader into the rear port which what I ended up doing with a cable connected directly to my camera.
