Library label, not library has disappeared.

This happened a long time ago, but I forgot the fix. How do I get the label back?
TIA

Jerry hello,
The method does work on on any items in the source list except Radio, Podcasts, Videos, Party Shuffle, Music Store but all the rest including the Library can be changed.... the only reason I can think of for this not happening as it should is you do not have the permissions set right... try this
Close iTunes ...
Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
To set preferences using BatChmod is very easy...
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'command line in Terminal '
drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and priviledges'...Unlock & click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
Start iTunes and check now to see if you can correct the naming of the Library
let's know Jerry what happens ... TP

My library of download info has disappeared how do i get it back?

after a crash of mozilla the library info on downloads was gone. prev it had listed all my downloads since july 2014.
this is an important function for me. today it is simply gone. what happened? can i get it back?
thanks

That is weird.
This would normally only happen if you click the clear downloads button the the Downloads Manager (Library).
All other ways to clear history would include the browsing and download history.
Are you sure that no one else didn't clear the downloads if you didn't do this yourself?
The downloads as shown in the Download Manager and in the Downloads folder in the Library are part of the history and thus stored in the places.sqlite just like other history items, but are marked as downloads via a specific annotation.
The Downloads folder in the Library is part of the History, so if you clear history or otherwise do not keep history then corresponding items are removed from the Downloads folder and vice versa if you remove entries in the Downloads folder then they will no longer appear in the history.

HT1218 2.4 GHz wireless signal not working has disappeared

I have a Time Capsule running the firmware version 7.6.1 (the latest) and today for some reason the 2.4 GHz wireless signal stops works and disappears (the signal no longer appears in the list of available netowrks on my iMac or iOS devices). The 5GHz signal remains and does just fine. When I cycle the power on the TC with about 30 sec downtime before powering back on the 2.4 GHz signal comes up just fine; however, after about a half hour to an hour the wireless signal disappears again . I have seen posts on the net that suggest renaming the wireless channels and changing the channel. Will try these but this seems to me to be a bit of a bandaid - while this may help I'd like to know why this is happening so I can perhaps take other actions to prevent it in the future.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My ipad has disappeared but shows "offline" constantly so I cannot locate it. it

My ipad 2 WiFi (not 3G) has disappeared. It may be lost or stolen-we simply cannot find it. Last seen it was on standby mode.That was 9 days ago. It was 4 digit passcode protected. I have now activated the find my ipad app via icloud but it shows the device is constantly offline. (1) If it is lost then I presume by now the battery will have run down so it will carry on recording offline forever until we find it (unless it accidentally went in the bin with eg the newspapers) ? OR (2) If it is "stolen"/found by someone inclined to keep it would they be able to wipe it and use it for themselves and simply acquire new apps etc for it and have it good as new so to speak...? AND (3) If they do that is there any way I can check if there is "usage" / another user showing against my ipad serial number on Apple's records -not because I expect Apple to blacklist the device as I know they do not do that- but just so I can give up on this insane constant checking on icloud.com whether the find my ipad app has reverted to "online" so I can track its location? If there were usage then I would know once and for all that it has been wiped and is gone for good and I can move on and buy a new one but if there is no usage it would tell me it must be around somewhere and I should keep tearing the house apart to find it.....???

The same way that you would find a lost wallet.

The error message I get on my PC is "The ITunes library file cannot be saved" An unknown error occurred (-50)and my music library has disappeared. I recently tried to copy a CD to my library - it appeared to copy ok but then did not appear in my music li

The error message I get on my PC is "The ITunes library file cannot be saved" An unknown error occurred (-50)and my music library has disappeared. I recently tried to copy a CD to my library - it appeared to copy ok but then did not appear in my music library. The library does not show up even when my iPad is connected to my PC. My entire library is now held on my iPad and I wish to have it in iTunes so I can sync my iPhone to it as well. Help?

Don't know what changed today but it downloaded and installed on the shuffle. So far so good.

While importing and burning some CDs, my entire library has disappeared. Also, there no longer is a "burn file to disc" command in the File menu. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes which restored only tracks I bought from the iTunes store.

Also, the "burn playlist to disc" command has disappeared from the File options. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes but that only restored tracks I'd bought from the iTunes store. I also tried setting up another logon.

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. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
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.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
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.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

My iTunes Library has disappeared. Help!

My entire iTunes library has disappeared. From reading other posts I see that this has been an issue. I'm not sure if it's related to AVG antivirus (but I deleted it anyway) or due to iTunes update. I noticed a week or 2 ago but haven't been back in the library since and was hoping that it would correct itself.
I went into my iTunes library and see that all my music is still located there in iTunes Media and iTunes Music folders--neither folder has all music. The previous iTunes libraries are 4 months old and don't have about 70 new songs, apps, books etc. that were purchased. I know that my iPod Classic has all of the music library located on it but doesn't have the apps from iPad, iPods, and contacts from iPhone. What is the best way to restore this. Please help! I am not techy enough to figure it out.

Uninstalling AVG won't repair the damage, though hopefully it should stop it happening again. See this post for repair steps.

I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorising my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorizing my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

Likely, because you are now using a different Apple ID and iTunes account. Return to using your old Apple ID and authorize only after you have de-authorized your old computer.
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

HELP! Library has disappeared, How do I get the music from ipod to my comp?

Please Help me! I don't know what to do!
I'm a fourteen year old and my Itunes library completely disappeared from nowhere. I honestly didn't touch anything on it!
So know my Itunes wants to erase and sync my library with its library on there, which has nothing! So, How do I get my ipod music from my ipod to my computer? I'm on Windows XP and Itunes 10!
Please don't make me download anything, because I'll probably get a virus....

Have you looked in the recycle bin? If it's not there, do a search for a song and see if it can be found on your computer somewhere else. By design, iTunes is a one way street - from your computer to your iPod - not the other way around. However, if you can't find any files on your computer, do an internet search for how to move the files from your iPod. Good lesson on why you need to back up your files. FWIW, files/folders just don't "disappear".

My iphoto has disappeared and photo library

I have been looking at similiar problems but nothing seems to be exactly like my problem. My iphoto has disappeared from my doc. There is no "iphoto" in the applications. When i go to my iphoto library I get this message. "There is no application set to open the document "iphoto Library". I do not have back-up for photos. I do not want to lose them if at all possible. I do have my start up disks for my computer.
HELP!

Well put in the applications install Disc. Received this message:
"The installation failed." An unkown installation error occurred.
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I tried this several time and have come up with the same message each time.!

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The tips in this article can help with locating your music files:

If the music is in the iTunes Media folder on your computer, but not in your library, the iTunes library might need to be re-created:

My entire itunes library has disappeared !!!

Hi all ,
My entire library has disappeared !!
Not sure if it happened during updates or one of my kids did it !!
HELP ...... had over 2000 items in there !!
Thanks

Restoring music is not all that easy.
For iTunes Purchased Music:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
OR
> iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
For Non-Tunes Music (CDs or Third-Party):
> Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Hope all this helps.

I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.

Missing tracks
Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
When you get it all working make a backup!
