Library will not load.

When I try to load the Aperture Library I get the following {"Aperture Library.aplibrayt" is an iPhoto library and cannot be opened in Aperture. You may import your iPhoto library into Aperture using the File menu.} {Quit}. Quit is the only option. In the background I can see the photos and the folder/projects in the sidebar but can not access them. If I quit it closes Aperture. I have tried to import the file as an iPhoto library as it suggests but that does not work. Help! I have also tried to use time machine files to load but get the same thing.
Ideas?

If you select the library in the finder and click Get Info what does it say for kind?
With Aperture closed, If you double click the library what happens?
Select the library in the finder right click and slect show package contents, take a screen shot of the finder window and post it.
Finally if you can copy the following two lines into the AppleScript editor and run it then select the library what is returned?
The returned string will be displayed in the bottom window of the AppleScript editor.
set the_file to choose file
tell application "System Events" to get type identifier of the_file

Shared library will not load

My Shared library will not load. I see it in the list, but when I click on it the status indicator runs for a while and then it just goes back to the local library.

I also have this problem. I have a mac running os snow leopard and my dad has a pc running windows vista. he has no problem taking my music via home share, but I cannot load his library. I click on his library and it loads for a little while and then bumps me back to my local library.

Itunes library will not load unexplicably...

i have itunes 8.0.1.11 and without any error messages or prior problems started up my itunes program and the library i have will not load...and it is completely blank of any of my library or music files.

i realize that i can drop all my music files onto my itunes and they will play but i have spent tons of time creating playlists, adding ratings, adding cover art and genres to my preference. it would be a heartbreak to have go back through it and organize.
how can i restore my library?
i have double clicked on every library file in my itunes folder as well as dragging them into my itunes music player.
please help!!

Did you have your library file iTunes Library.itl on the external drive?
If you did, you could try a shift key start - hold down the shift key while starting iTunes and you should be asked to choose a library. Navigate to the location of your library file on the external disk and choose iTunes Library.itl.
If you had your Library file in the iTunes folder on your c: drive, it has most likely been damaged and iTunes has created a new one.
There is a small possiblity that you can reacreate it from the xml file:

Otherwise you just add your iTunes Music folder to iTunes with File>>Add folder to library. This loses all counts ratings and playlists.
Be sure you have the location of your iTunes Music folder correctly set in Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General.

TS2972 My library will not load on Apple TV following latest iTunes upgrade

All was working fine until the latest iTunes update was installed. Now my photos strem and my screensaver still works but I can't access the library as it will not load. Have tried all troubleshooting tips on Apple TV help.

Same thing happened to me. Reset your router.

Instruments in Logic Pro 9 Library will not load: I try to add a new instrument on a project and get a "cannot be found" error.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
As a faculty member in the School of Music, I have just acquired a copy of Logic Pro 9.1.8 through my University. The programs and instrument packs were installed by our IT department and show as being fully installed on Logic Pro when I search for additional content through the Logic Pro tab at the top of the screen. The window shows that all 6 Jam Packs, Logic Pro & Main Stage Content (Essential and Additional) GarageBand content, and Surround content is installed. However when I try and add a new instrument on a project, most of these instruments cannot be found. I get the following error:
Audio file “KB_pizz_f_C1.wav” not found!
I then press the Continue Tab, and it looks for the instruments in an empty file that Logic creates in the Music section of the hard drive. I have investigated the sounds by going through the MAC Hard Drive>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments folder, and tried to copy the sounds into the Music>Logic folder created by the program. That does not work either. Even attempting to go into these Logic Pro instrument files one at a time has proved fruitless. I am told that the file cannot be opened.
The files appear to be installed, but cannot be accessed or opened. They all have that translucent grey appearance when I attempt to click on the icon. This is true for about 80% of the files in the instrumental library. Whenever I create an instrument, the EVP88 Electric Piano is installed by default. There are a few instruments that I can successfully replace this default instrument with, but a majority of the instrumental library remains unavailable. Can anyone help?

Kurt:
You might try a different way of adding the video files to the web page. This demo page has one where the file does not load until the play button is selected: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 9 short videos on it using that method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. Just add a screenshot of one of the movie frames or any photo you want and add the Play button on or below it.
You manually upload the movie file to your server so iWeb is not involved in the uploading the file at any time.
Similarly this demo page, QT movies via iFrame, has a method that has you manually uploading the file to the server and linking to it via iFrame code. That page also has other similar methods.
Another method is demonstrated in Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site on his Video page. Here you also upload manually.

Shared library will not load on my iPad.

In the videos app on my iPad, when I click on the shared library tile under the 'Shared' button, the library loads until the indicator gets halfway, and then it just stops. However, in my iPhone (4, iOS 6), the library loads almost immediately. The library is also available on my appleTV.
I've tried quitting the apps involved (iPad Videos app, iTunes on the computer), and restarting both the iPad and iMac.
This problem is intermittent. It was working fine last week, although this has happened twice before, and I cannot figure out what resolved it.
What gives?

I did talk to Apple Support about a month ago, and they walked me through shutting down Home Sharing on my Mac and all devices, and then restarting all hardware, and then restarting Home Sharing on everything.
This got my library to finally load, and I was able to stream the movies to my iPad. But it lasted for less than a day, and now I'm back to where I started, unable to load the library in the Videos app or the Music app.
I don't have to do this with my iPhone (4, OS6) or appleTV, and I certainly don't want to reboot everything in order to stream a movie or music onto my iPad.
Again, Apple, what gives?

When home sharing, a library will not load.

I have an old imac running itunes 9 and a laptop pc running itunes 10.
The Imac can access the laptop library. My laptop recognises the imac library, but when I click on it, it tries to load it then just stops and goes back to its own library.
Could anyone identify any reasons for this. Help is much appreciated.
Geoff

And perhaps if someone at apple could actually make it so the tags we type in to help with these issues show up exactly as we type them and not as a jumbled mess, then that would be useful too.
I have an imac g4 running os10.4.11 and itunes 9 trying to connect to a latop running windows 7 and itunes 10.7

Home Sharing library will not load!

My sisters library and mine are set up on a home sharing account. I go into my iTunes on a seperate computer than her and her library shows up in my drop down. But when i click on it in shows the loading symbol but never pops up! Please help!!

Hi!, I hope my english still works and helps you: using Home sharing I have same issue on my 2 machines (iMac PPC with 10.5 & Macbook PRO intel with 10.6) and the HDD on first machine was partitioned and iTunes's library was copied on 2nd partition. Well, now the "old" iMac PPC reads and copies all library from Macbook, but not vice-versa so both libraries must be in the Home directory.
Hoping to be a help, I wish you a happy new year!

HELP!!!! My iTunes Library will not load...

So, I uninstalled the Safari tool, I never use it. I restarted my computer and now my iTunes library is empty. I try to import the library from my music folder, and I get an error that says "The file iTunes library.itl cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file"
What the heck did I do? And is there any way to fix it? All of my playlists and podcasts and purchased music and TV shows are gone. !!!
Thanks in advance...

I can see the library on the 2nd computer using home sharing but the library will not load

I have home sharing on both of the computers, I see the library on the machine I was to bring it to but when I select it says loading but then doesn't ever bring in all the music.

I finally got the computer to download the library, 6800 songs. I had to turn off my mcafee real time scan & firewall for 15 minutes on both machines. I them hit import and for the last day and a half it was copy the library to my laptop I thought. I had one pop up at the very end that said it couldn't download one song which wasn't a big deal so I thought I answered it correctly that it was fine to skip it. It was done copying them but they aren't on the laptop, so I am now importing them again what do you suggest I do after it finishes importing this time? Again I wasn't thinking and did a select all instead of just one album but it is going much faster so I believe the songs must be on my laptop.

ITunes library will not load

I opened my iTunes library and all files are gone. I'm currently storing my files on an external hard drive, which seems to be connected and working fine. All of my files are still on the hard drive and I can reload the library, but wanted to avoid this if possible.

I have a handfull of songs in my library that are not showing up bold like the other songs. When I click the icon to download from the cloud nothing happens and they will not load onto my ipod. When I look for them in the purchased area they show up as purchased and downloaded.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library. When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it. I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
recreate the library I believe. It's been a while so I cant remember
exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
have had no problems with it.

How do I get my films into iTunes library , there r in mp4 format but will not load to itines

I have converted my films to mp4 format but they still will not load yo
My iTunes library can anyone advise how to sort this out
Thanks

What version of iTunes does she have? Updating it will have no impact on the songs in her library. As far as your PC, if you can't use iTunes you can use 3rd party software such as Winamp or Xplay.
