Lost Link Between Library and iTunes

Hi,
I have moved my itunes files (iTunes Library, with about 50GB of music) onto a external drive connected to my PC via USB.
When I open iTunes, it opens as usual and shows the list of all files.
However, iTunes cannot find the music files in their original location because they are now on the external drive.
Please let me know how to point iTunes to the location on the external drive where the library file can be found.
I need iTunes to map all songs automatically. I do not want to locate each and every song.
Regards,

I just found the answer. Quite simple.
Press ALT to display menu.
Go to EDIT  then PREFERENCES
Click tab that says ADVANCED (far right hand side) of the pop up window.
Click CHANGE button where it says: ITunes Media Folder Location
and browse to location where the iTunes Libary & files are stored
Click OK - it took a couple of minutes to link the songs.

  • Link between Aperture and iTunes doesn't work

    Hi,
    i have the problem that i can not load photos through iTunes on my iPhone or iPad because iTunes can not find my Aperture Library.
    In Aperture itself i have the setting enabled, that other program can use thumbnails.
    Some Tipps for me?

    Hi leonie, thank you very much for replying.  I'm sorry for the vauge "error description"
    iTunes complains = Aperture Library cannot be found (same error as before)
    My library is contained on an external HFS+ formatted USB drive.  I know other programs can see the library because my screeensaver shows photos from it.
    As for your soultion, that didn't fix it unfortunately
    But I did end up figuring out a solution: I don't know why iTunes was so fixated on the original library aperture created on my OS drive in the "Photos" directory (which is now a very limited space SSD).  Even if I created a new library located on my OS drive, it "wouldn't find it" when I switched to it.  So for the solution, I moved (not copied, but moved) the original library to the exact same location as the one on the USB HDD.  Changed the library to the "original one" located now on my USB hdd.  Merged in the one that had all my photos.  iTunes now can see my library located on my HFS+ formatted USB hard drive. *WHEW* I hope that helps someone else out.

  • Lost link between iPhoto library and iPhoto.app

    While learning how to use Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Bridge, I made the choice to "browse" in Bridge. When I next started iPhoto 6.06, my link to the Library was lost. I have worked with AppleCare support, done every exercise short of creating a new library and losing my organization. With 20,000 + photos I would like to avoid that exercise. I do have backups but am trying to figure out if I can solve this any other way. All my files are still in iPhoto Library, and I can see the organization of my albums in Bridge. With some exercises, I get the message: "Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
    If I delete Adobe Photoshop Elements and Bridge from the hard drive, will this help? I promise I did not do anything within iPhoto Library in Finder!
    Thanks so much!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There's absolutely no harm in using PSE with iPhoto, it's Bridge that's a killer. So that's what you chuck from your machine. Set up PSE as an external editor in the iPhoto Preferences. That way you can double click a pic in iPhoto and it will open automatically in PSE, save it PSE and have it come back into iPhoto seamlessly.
    What's likely happened here is that you have (or Bridge has) made changes in the iPhoto Library Folder which has broken the link between iPhoto and the library files.
    Some things to try:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Choose Locate, and point iPhoto at the iPhoto Library Folder.
    What Back Ups do you have? If there's an up-to-date one, then try copying the library6.iphoto file from it to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the confused one.
    That said, if these don't work, your options will only be to create and populate a new library: To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Finally, the message
    "Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
    is because iPhoto will not import a picture that's in the active iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.

  • Somehow my itunes started a new library and I lost my old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music to my ipod without deleting stored music from ipod. How can I start using this new library and sync the new music without losing existing music.

    Somehow my Itunes started a new music library and I lost the old library.  Itunes will not allow me to sync new music from my computer to my Ipod because it is now in a different library. Itunes wants to delete all my Ipod music before sync any new music. How do I work around this. I think this happened during Itunes Upates.

    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 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.

  • Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

    Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
    I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

    I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
    These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
    Which particular issue are you referring to?
    Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

  • Color shift between Library and Develop module

    Hi,
    I recently noticed a color shift between in the image when going from the library to the develop module. Yes, I know this is mentioned in the FAQ, but I did not find the solutions given there to be satisfactory.
    Let me explain what happens: I have taken Photos with my Canon EOS 300D, in Jpeg mode with Color Space in the Camera set to AdobeRGB. The photos I am talking about were taken with Tungsten light with auto white balance and have a distinct orange color cast. I use Windows XP and view my Photos on a LCD Display calibrated with the Pantone Huey system. The Lightroom Library Module and Photoshop CS2 both display the original image almost identically (there are no changes applied inside Lightroom or Photoshop, I view the original image in both applications). Photoshop is set to use the Adobe RGB Color space as its working Color space, Softproofing is switched off. However, when I switch to the Develop Module, the colors (especially the orange hues) shift very noticably toward pink. I can only assume that the Colorspace conversion or maybe some implicit soft proof used differs between the modules. So, to restate the problem: If I switch back and forth between Library and Develop, without changing anything and in 1:1 view to avoid errors introduced by different zooming methods, the colors shift quite drastically back and forth.
    I have to say that this is really quite annoying. The whole point for me to use the develop module is to use it to make adjustments to the colors, and for this to work properly I have to see the same colors in both modules and in Photoshop. There is no point in correcting a pink color cast away in Develop that is not even there in either the library module or Photoshop (and that would then have a stronger orange tint because I tried to counter the pink tint in develop).
    So this leads me to the final question: Is it possible to tell Develop to use the exact same color settings as the Library Module? Or is there another way to compensate for the color shift?
    I hope I was clear in what happens and what I tried to do. If it helps I can gladly provide a sample photograph that clearly illustrates the point.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Daniel

    Thanks for your comments, Don and Fred. I hope that this issue will be worked on soon.
    Fred, I have set the Preview Quality to High, but it doesn't seem to make any differences concerning the color shift. I have investigated this matter further by now and made the following observations:
    *The color shift is a lot less noticable on my laptop (the laptop screen is also color profiled). On my laptop the change is more of a subtle shift in contrast than in color. This might be caused by the smaller color gammut of my laptop display though.
    *I have uploaded a testimage so that others can check if this shift occurs at their workstations too - after all, it might be a misconfiguration of my color management software, though I doubt that (because Adobe already states that library and develop render different previews). I would be interested if the color shift I describe is noticable at other workstations too. The link to the testimage: http://www.danyx.com/colorshift.jpg (permission to use the image to test the color reproduction is of course granted hereby).
    Thanks for your help, I hope Adobe will listen soon,
    Daniel

  • Sharpness between library and development module

    for some reason, after working on photo and putting it back into library if i open the very same shot in development all the other new work will be present but the shot will look less sharp. if i flick back to library it sharpens up again. The same happens a little differently in CS6. Here, if i zoom just a litle the shot sharpens to what it should be but if come back out it softens a bit.
    Bit weird really
    Can anyone help ? I'd like them all to look exactly as they are shoudl obviously...
    Cheers,
    S

    Thanks for that Bob,
    the really confusing thing is that the magnification appear to be identical between the library and development module while the development module is still softer....

    The general rule is that sharpening will only appear correctly at 1:1 in Lightroom, or at 100% in Photoshop. Any other magnifications are just a simulation of what the pixels would look like if you could see them all, i.e. not accurate. Bob Frost

  • Link between Delivery and Sales Order Schedule Line

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement in which i need to display quantity and amount at schedule line level and also the delivery and delivery item for each schedule line.
    For example, if there is a sales order O1 and item 10 for which we have 3 schedule lines and 3 deliveries as well say D1, D2 and D3.
    Report should be something like this
    Sales Order    Item   Schedule Line    Delivery    Del Item   Confirmed Order Qty
    O1                 10      1                       D1           10            5
    O1                 10       2                      D2            10            5
    O1                 10       3                      D3            10            4
    How can i determine that a particular delivery corresponds to which schedule line of that saler order-item?
    We have the link between delivery and sales order but is there any way that we can get the link of delivery at schedule line level?
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Gaurav

    Hi,
    I suppose you must check with SD functional consultant and the post should also be in the logistics SD forum and not BI. But I suppose there is know specific link between the schedule line of SO to the Delivery. It is more like a bucket flow for ex.
    Sale order   Item    Schedule line  qty
    SO1            Item1     Sch1            10
    SO2            Item1      Sch2           10
    Delivery Item QTy
    DO1       IT1   15
    DO2       IT1    5
    In this case qty 15 is distributed over both SO1 and SO2, and SO2 ITem1 Sch2 has link to both the DOs
    So I am not sure if you can establish a one to one link, please check with your SD consultants.
    Regards,

  • Link between sd and pp

    hi all,
      i have a problem regarding relation or link between sales and production order. i have to fetch production order number related to sales order number. i have checked in the table AFPO that is production order item table , there is field AFPO-KDAUF and AFPO-KDPOS ie, sales order and sales item. but when i see these two fields there is no data into the field so how can i get data into the table related to production order.can anyone help me on this issue.

    Please refer to the below links -
    https://forums.sdn.sap.com/post!reply.jspa?threadID=309885
    Integration points with MM/IM and PP are some of the following -
    When a Production order is created and released a reservation gets created for the materials in BOM
    When the reservation is created and materials are posted against the reservation with mvt type 311 these are transferred to the respective location.
    When a GR is posted with mvt type 101, the Finished or Semifinished goods are posted to the respective storage location and inventorized.
    When a consumption is posted with mvt type 261 then stock will get reduced in resepective storage location.
    When a batch determination is done in a production order basing on the batch search strategy and sort rule material, quantity and batch are selected.
    If WM is configured an associated internal movement for all the above movement types will be posted.
    During MRP, BOM which is a master data for PP is used to calculate the dependent requirements of materials.
    During availabilty check of a production order basing on the availability check configured materials will be selected and checked.
    Hope the above may help you.

  • 'Is there a link between OLM and iProcurement'

    I have been asked 'Is there a link between OLM and iProcurement'? The person posing the question is wanting to create trainers as suppliers and I know that the supplier information is shared between OLM and the A/P, A/R and G/L modules and I presume that the link to iProcurement will be via one of these modules however is there a more direct vanilla link between OLM and iprocurement?
    Any help would be great
    Thanks
    DM

    I am afraid there is no link between the iProc and OLM.
    The closest that apps can offer you is that your learner/delegates can be of type external i.e. being an Organization or a Customer. Hence there exists a link for your delegate to be a customer(hz_parties).
    However this might be a future integration i.e. Trainers being suppliers. I am saying so because in 11.5.10 there is a table named OTA_VENDOR_SUPPLIES that has reference to vendor_id. Currently this table is not being used by OLM.
    You may look into the code of packages OTA_VSP_API, OTA_TEA_BUS & OTA_PLE_BUS and see if Oracle's future functionality will converge towards your business requirement.

    Any idea ?

  • Link between Item and delivery

    Hi ,
    I want to know the link between item and deliveyr. Like for example, an sales order item ( no. 10) containing 10 quantities can be delviered 5 times( each containing 2 quantities) and line item ( no. 20) can contain one single delivery. I am working on a report where i have to link all the line item to its delivery number. I am trying to achieve this through GENIl but i am not able to indetify as to how to differentiate the different deliveyr numbers. In other words, can some one help me as to how to link the delivery number to its corresponding items?

    Document flow is stored in the table VBFA in ECC.
    VBELV fied is the sales order number and in POSNV specify the line item number and speicfy VBTYP_N = J (Delivery).

  • Link between GTM and FSCM (sales or purchase order hedging)

    Hi all,
    I am trying for a few days to have SAP GTM working (I am in an IDES ECC6 system, and as far as I know in EhP4 version). The main goal in fact is to test the currency hedging, and therefore to the link GTM and FSCM, either single-sided purchase or sales order, or two-sided . The flow I want is the following :
    -     I buy or sell a product, in GTM, through a trading contract which generates a purchase or sales order.
    -     Automatically a currency hedge is generated to cover the risk, in FSCM, I guess in exposure management.
    -     And then the financial products (derivatives) are generated as well.
    No problem to create the trading contract, no problem to generate the sales or purchase order. But in spite of the (very little) customizing I found in u201CSAP GTM => currency hedgesu201D, and some in FSCM, in u201Ctreasury and risk managementu201D, no way to have this link between GTM and FSCM, no additional document is generated like a Forward Exchange Transaction (I guess I should have this, and then a risk exposure in FSCM).
    Would you have an idea ? Is this customizing, or an additional Business Functions or Extension Set not activated ? SAP says : u201Cit worksu201D, but canu2019t find the way.
    Thank you very much for your help, I am quite looking for this link for a few days now u2026
