Lost link to library after updating to Itunes5

Hi, grateful if anyone can help. After a lot of problems I eventually managed to upgrade to Itunes 5, however the library folder is now empty. Due to partition space I had previosuly set up my Itunes library in a different location to the default settings (and also backed up on a seperate hard disk). I have checked the folder to where I store my music and they are still there. (If I click on a file it will play in Itunes).
I have clicked on preferences within I tunes and the designated folder path is to the correct location, but the library is empty when I open in Itunes. I have tried dragging XML files accross to the folder where my music is stored bu this has not helped.
Also cannot move my entire libray back due to partition space (can't move partitions either which is a seperate issue).
Grateful if anyone can help.

Grateful if anyone can help with my post below - not been able to run I Tunes for months now!

  • I have lost my itunes library after updating it and keep getting a message saying MSVCR80.dll is not installed when I try to uninstall/reinstall it???

    I have lost my itunes library after updating it. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling it and it gets so far then tells me that it cannot be installed because MSVCR80.dll is not installed on my pc. I have no idea what this is and have googled it, followed links to sites that say they can fix it, only for them to scan, tell me I have 3 thousand issues and then want me to pay $30 dollars to fix it for me. This message also appears on firing up my pc too.
    Can anyone help please?

    I've been through the exact same thing and cannot seem to get an answer here. When you go to Manage Storage, does it have something at the top like "19.1 GB of 25 GB available"? I only have a Mail account with 5.3 GB in it and a Backups account with 553 MB in it. Obviously, these don't add up to 19.1 GB. There was no change in any of these numbers when I deleted all the same files you mention. With the free Mobile Me storage expiring next month, this is something I'm pretty concerned about.

  • HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

    My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

    Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
    (I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2) 
    And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
    No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

  • I lost lots of apps after updating to ios7. Can I go back to ios6?

    I lost lots of apps after updating to ios7. I hate the look of it and I think it is not as easy to use. Can I go back to ios6?

    Hi,
    You cannot. It's not supported by Apple actually, so if you downgrade they cannot help you.
    However, make sure that all your apps are not in a different page, so keep swiping to the left just in case they are hidden at a first glance.
    You can use the App store app to download all your purchased items.

  • Why have I lost my iTunes money after updating my account?

    I have lost my iTunes money after updating my account. Why has this happened? And how can I get the money back?

    We are fellow users, we won't know why/where it's gone.
    You've checked the purchase history on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 e.g. you didn't have any pre-orders and/or auto-renewing subscriptions that were due ? If not then you've tried logging out and back into your account on your phone (or computer's iTunes if using that) ? If you can't find where it went then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help with what happened to it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • How to Restore iTunes Library after update?

    Updated iMac to iTunes 11.0.5 and lost almost entire library of music (all but 3 songs). Tried to open iTunes with previous library but music I downloaded from CD's cannot be "located". Don't know how to find them. Tried to restore from back up external drive library, but those files are "locked" or I don't have permission. Purchased songs, with some exceptions, will play. Some don't though.
    My library was from an much older version of iTunes (2008 or 09), could that be an issue? I don't use this desktop much at all, but would like to have the library be functional.
    1.  How can I restore my library getting all songs to play?
    2.  Should I update iTunes on my Macbook? It's using 11.0.4 now. I don't want to mess up it's library as that's the one I use.

    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!

  • Over half of my music disappeared from my music library after updating to itunes 10.7

    I use a Windows 7 operating system.  Since updating my iTunes to the latest version, 10.7, over half of my music has disappeared from my music library.  All 851 songs remain on my iPod, but my library shows only 187 songs after syncing my iPod with iTunes.  Also, while trying to sync my iPod to my iTunes, I'm constantly being asked to authorize my computer (it's already authorized) and an unknown email address displays in the account sign-in window to sign in when trying to sync my iPod.  I did not have these issues with iTunes before updating to the recent version. Any help is appreciated!

    Not directly but you can sync to an iTunes equipped computer and then sync to the iPad...unless you have single-use tunes which cannot be shared.

  • Link icons missing after updating to 18.1.0 Illustrator

    Hi,
    After updating to 18.1.0 of Illustrator CC, I the link icons to assets in a file are now longer visible in the links palette, whether embedded or linked.  Is this a bug or something I can fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi SuperSimes,
    Thanks for posting the snapshot. I am able to reproduce this issue at my end also. I have updated the Illustrator Engineering team about this issue and they are looking into this.
    Till then you can try to re-size (maximize using the gripper at the bottom right of the panel) the "Links" panel so that all the embedded/linked files get listed in the Links Panel.
    Please let me know if you have any queries regarding this.
    With Best Regards,

  • Apple TV loses connection to Library -after update to 10.6.1.7 - ideas?

    After update this morning, i have returned to the old 5 mimutes of connection to library, and then connection dropped... Very annoying.Of course apple will blame Windows XP, or my router, or my firewall, etc. etc.. funny thing is, it worked perfectly until the update this morning... Any ideas other than port forwarding, windows firewall changes, etc. etc.? Any idea what Apple has done this time?
    Cheers

  • Lost my Favorite Wallpaper after updating to 4.0.2 (Green Frog Picture)

    Hi,
    Has anyone found that after updating to 4.0.2 a lost wallpaper pic? I used to use the Green Frog Picture but now it is missing from the wallpapers. Is this correct? Has all my wallpapers been replaced with new ones from the new software?
    Thanks

    Sell it to someone in the U.S. ( where it can be used) and then buy one locally from an official seller.
    Only AT&T in the U.S. could unlock it, but they do NOT do this.
    There is no legit way to unlock a U.S. iphone.
