Missing Library

I have a question about iPhoto 6.0.5. I'm running a mac mini with 1.33GHz, Power PC G4, with 1 GB DDR SDRAM, and using Mac OSX 10.4.8. Last February I moved my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive for storage and to create more space. Having a new granddaughter in Feb. we also bought a camera to do iChats. The slot for conncecting the camera is the same slot for the external drive, so the drive is not on most of the time. Since last Feb. we have taken almost 6000 pictures so I went looking for the current iPhoto Library to move it to the exterrnal drive. I can't find one. Using the spotlight, no iPhoto Library shows up until I mount the external drive. But there are all of these pictures in iPhoto that aren't in the iPhoto Library on the external drive. First, how did I launch iPhoto successfully without a library and where are the current pictures being stored? I tried putting .jpg into spotlight but none of the pictures showed up. I also tried copying the particular address of a picture in iPhoto and putting that in spotlight, but again notghing showed up. Any help would be appreciated.

Launch iPhoto and select one of the pics, then right click on it and choose 'Show File'. A finder window will pop open with the photo file selected. From there you can follow the path to the location of the iPhoto Library Folder.
At a guess: It's probably in your Pictures folder (home /Pictures) and the first time you launched iPhoto without the HD attached, the app thought that you had no library and created a library in the default location.
If you want to transfer the newer photos to your old library on the external, I suggest you use iPhoto Library Manage, which is able to merge libraries. You can read about it here: http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html
To choose between libraries, hold down the option (or alt) key when launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to locate the library you want to use.

The missing library problem.

I understand that there's already a lot of threads about the sudden disappearance of iTunes libraries, however I'm typing this up because I'd like to point out in a bit more detail what I'm seeing happening to my computer, and maybe have a collective of what's going on. This issue has happened to me five times in the last two months since I've updated to iTunes 11. After searching on google I know the missing library problem has existed since the early 2000s; why this glitch has yet to be fixed 13 years later is beyond me. I have personally never had this problem until updating to 11, and seeing the many other threads on here this appears to me to be an issue with this version of the software more than it has been in previous versions.
Before I continue, I have tried the following to fix it:
Simply readded my whole library. It was only wiped again a few weeks later.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That didn't work either, so it's not just an updating problem.
What I haven't tried
Changing where on my computer iTunes is installed. I have no idea where on the computer might be better or if it will change anything. I have iTunes installed on its default location on my local C: disk.
Importing the music directly from my iPod into iTunes. Can this be done? If so, how? Not everything on my iTunes is a store purchase, most of it is imported CDs and also amazon purchases too. So I don't know if the transfer purchases option works. While this wouldn't fix this current issue, I would like to know how to do this if possible since it would just be a quick fix whenever this happens.
What is happening:
So each time this has happened, what occurs is that like many other people, one day I open my iTunes and everything is in order. Then the next, for no reason, all of my libraries are gone but the music is still on my computer, organized in their files the way iTunes had them done so upon importing. I can't use the .itl files in the "previous libraries" folder because they have also been re-written. Upon opening them, even if their last save was on a day I know everything was in working order, opening them does nothing but give me the same blank default page.
What isn't mentioned in a lot of the posts regarding this issue, is the sudden crop of temporary files in the iTunes folder.
The ones that have cropped up for me personally are the following:
iT 1.tmp
iT 2.tmp
iT 3.tmp
iT 4.tmp
Temp file 1.tmp
Temp file 2. tmp
Those were not there the last time I used iTunes, and they're never there on the days I've used it before and it has worked correctly. However every time my library is wiped, these files suddenly appear without fail, every time. I can't open them, I can't do anything with them except delete them. I believe I remember reading somewhere that this might be an issue regarding with how the program is saving the progress of your library changing, and that the temp files are there until it can "officially" save what has happened to your library. While I didn't change anything in my library in the last couple of weeks, I'm assuming this also counts things like play count.
My own personal opinion
Seeing just how many threads with this issue are popping up, this leads me to believe that this isn't just a problem with my personal computer or my personal install of iTunes 11. These temp files also lead me to believe that as well. In other words, whatever glitch has existed with iTunes since the early 2000s is for some reason running rampant in version 11.
TL;DR:
Please developers, actually look at this library glitch within the program itself. It can't just be an individual user's problem because way too many people are experiencing it.

No worries. You've probably run into one the other threads I've posted to but I'll add my thoughts here anyway...
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 and 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.

Missing library imath/engines/lvmath

Hi all, so i am trying to run an older .vi (several of them actually) not sure which version they were created in. My guess would be 8.2 or 8.5. I am using 2010 and there seems to be a missing library imath/engines/lvmath
included in this is a bunch of MC_(somthing) type vi's
also having the same problem with some excel vi's
thoughts?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That looks like the code was using MathScript. In current versions of LabVIEW MathScript is an add-on. That you have to buy. So, you can:
Rewrite the code to not use MathScript
Buy MathScript
Use an alternative. Scilab might work for you.
P.S. When you try to close the VI LabVIEW will ask you if you want to save the file. If you click on the link that says "Describe changes" (or something like that), it will tell you the version of LabVIEW used to write the VI originally.

Script to find missing library references

When readline5 came out I decided to write a quick shell script to find any binary that references readline4. Then I generalized it:
#!/bin/bash
# 2004/08/22 K. Piche Find missing library references.
ifs=$IFS
IFS=':'
libdirs="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/opt/gnome/lib:/opt/qt/lib:/opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-1.7:/opt/kde/lib"
extras=
# Check ELF binaries in the PATH and specified dir trees.
for tree in $PATH $libdirs $extras
do
echo DIR $tree
# Get list of files in tree.
files=$(find $tree -type f)
IFS=$ifs
for i in $files
do
if [ `file $i | grep -c 'ELF'` -ne 0 ]; then
# Is an ELF binary.
if [ `ldd $i 2>/dev/null | grep -c 'not found'` -ne 0 ]; then
# Missing lib.
echo "$i:"
ldd $i 2>/dev/null | grep 'not found'
fi
fi
done
done
exit
I successfully used it to find readline4 usage by guile and jack, and other older library references in other packages. Hope the devs or somebody finds it useful. And yeah it could pull the lib dirs from ld.so.conf or search the whole system but it is quick and dirty...
PS. Without the /dev/null redirects ldd reports tons of libraries without the exec bit set. Take it out if you want to see that stuff.

so simple and SOOO USEFULL!!!!!!!

RE: Missing Library Items CS6

Hello Everyone.
I am Downloading the Missing Library from this Link, Is this the correct Link ?
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/download-library-content.html
After I Downloaded the Zip Folder, Where Do I need to copy paste the Items ?
I looked under Adobe/ Adobe Encore CS6, but I Dont see any folder called Library.
Please let me know where I have to copy paste the files
Thanks.

>Where Do I need to copy paste the Items ?
It tells you at that link
Depending upon your operating system, copy the Library, main, Styles, and Template folders from the folder containing the extracted library content to the appropriate location:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\
You will then have
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library\Corporate
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library\Education
...and so on for all of the folders

"MISSING LIBRARY' that what itunes keep on saying

From a while i installed itunes on my my sisters pc that runs windows and it was working normally but yesterday she was putting some songs on her ipod nano and she had a problem, so what i did is that i reinstalled itunes and it gives me that it finished installing but when i open itunes it says "missing library" and i cant do anything so what is the solution for this problem?

I have the same problem too. It is frustrating since I have the account for more than 3 years and now I try to purchase an app for my kid and I can't do it. I use Paypal, I change to my credit card and still have the same problem. I choose my country by pulldown and still having the same "invalid address" message.
I'm a regular buyer and now I can not do that.

Missing Library presets in Encore CS5.1. Is there a download for this?

I have Adobe Encore CS5.1 running on my Mac, however the preset library is empty. The only link I could find to download them was this: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html#Download the extra library content but this only seems to cater for CS6 and upwards. Is there somewhere I can retrieve the library folder?

No I downloaded the CS5.5 creative suite a few years ago. Although all the products are CS5.5, for some reason Encore is CS5.1. I'm sure why that is, but the library is completely empty.
Encore was not a "full" upgrade, so it got a minor version increase. But the bottom line is that the version of Encore in CS 5.5 is Encore CS5.1.
An oddity of the Encore CS6 library install is that it REMOVED the library for CS5.1. Never did figure out what the logic was or whether it was a bug. A real mess.
But the bottom line for you is to use the CS6 library but install it using the following method rather than the dmg installer.
Encore Help | Download full library content/functional content
This method just involves extracting it and putting the folders in the right places. In addition to the library folder, you can also put the styles (fonts etc) and templates (flash export) in.
Edit: if it wasn't clear, you are going to put the library etc into your Encore 5.1 install directory.

Missing Library Albums and Built in Smart Albums

Hi,
In AP3 I am missing the built in "Library Albums" with the associated smart albums (★★★★★,Rejected etc). I did a search and someone solved the problem by deleting the BuiltinSmartAlbums.plist located at user/library/application support/aperture and then restarting Aperture.
My problem is I cannot locate the plist file. It's confusing, as I can create a new library and the Built in library and associated smart albums are available. However, I would like the option in my existing library.
Does anyone have an idea how I can recover the built in Album/smart albums?
Thanks

Well, they aren't in the libraries that are "split" from another, so I guess that is how you wound up in this situation.
You can simply remake them, takes only a few minutes and put them in your own folder (but then you might have problems with sorting).
How about just importing your entire current lib into a clean new lib that has the albums?

Exporting to Flash, missing library item?

I am using Flash 8 (also tried CS3, but flash 8 seems to
import Captivate much better) and Captivate 3.
I want to create a project following the steps outlined in
this adobe article.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/cpvideo_03.html
(this is the link to page 3 where the steps to exporting to flash
are outlined)
I am unable to because an item the author says should be in
the Flash library is missing. From the article:
quote:
1. Import the Macromedia Captivate project file using the
Import to Library option. Be sure to deselect the audio import
option (remember, the audio portion is in the FLV file) and any
other Macromedia Captivate feature that you did not use in your
demo.
2. Upon import, open up the Library panel and locate the
Macromedia Captivate content. It will have the same name as the
original Macromedia Captivate project file but with a CPT
extension.
3. Drag it to the Stage and name the instance captivate_mc.
If you omit this step, the resync code will not work.
But I am not seeing any "captivate content file".
Anyone have any thought/suggestions?

Well I guess captivate 3 must export slightly different than
Captivate 2. I had to basically manually create the movie clip the
article talks about. When you export from cap3 to flash it puts
everything on the scene 1 timeline. So I copied ALL the frames
& layers, created a new movie clip and put it all into that new
movie clip symbol. Just kind of a pain to have to do it manually,
but not a big deal.

Missing library music following iTouch default restore

My ipod touch required a default restore and software update. I am now missing all my music out of my library with the exception of music uploaded in the last couple of weeks. ITunes also will not let me download my purchased music either. Any suggestions?

Missing Library Albums

The "Library Albums" component (with star ratings etc.) does not appear on my Library Inspector tab. I downloaded A3 about 3 weeks ago, and it has never appeared. Am I missing something or misreading the documentation?

This might either be a problem of a corrupted Library or of your preference settings.
To help to locate the problem, you might try the following:
Try, if you see the "Library Albums" when you create a new, empty Aperture Library:
- In Apterture Choose File > Switch to Library > Other
- In the dialog that appears, click "Create New"
- In the next dialog, enter a new name for the Library in the "Save As" field, choose a location, then click Create
To open the new library, again go to Choose File > Switch to Library
-If the new Library has the correct structure, then probably your old Aperture Library has been corrupted.
You could either try to fix it with the usual trouble shooting measures (repair or rebuild the library) or simply try to import your old library completely into the new library (only if it is a managed library - I am not sure, if you safely can import a referenced library without relocating the master).
-if the new Library does not have the correct structure, then it might be a Lion or Aperture problem, look for "delete user preferences" in the trouble shooting basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805

Missing library after 10.1 update

I just ran the suggested update to 10.1. Right after it installed and opened I noticed my entire library was missing in itunes (music, apps, movies, etc). The only things that was there was a few albums I had purchased directly from iTunes. I checked finder and the other 60+ GB of music is still on my macbook pro (in the itunes folder). Any suggestions to fix this and why it did this?

have you seen this support article: [_*No content shows up in iTunes after updating*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967] ?
also check out this script:
_*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

MISSING LIBRARY / INSPECTOR / FILE BROWSER

Folks,
I have now had this happen on 2 machines. When working with complex projects, Motion would crash - and then upon relaunch it would be missing the library, inspector and file browser windows. No, they are not located outside the desktop area. No, they do not respond to key commands - nor do they show up when you go under the WINDOW menu options and choose from there. Now....they DO SHOW UP after I uninstall/reinstall the entire FCS1 package. But the time involved is debilitating. Now here's the caveat about uninstall/reinstall. The windows show back up in the FCS1 install - when I do the software upgrade from the MAC/APPLE website - a once normally working MOTION no has missing windows just like before.
Is this an OS thing? I have LEOPARD.... but I'm scared! Ha! can anyone give me solutions for motion or peace to upgrade?
Cheers,
Jason

welcome to the posts jason.
At the danger of sounding like a stuck record, have you tried throwing the Motion preferences away. Make sure motion is off, go to your Home Folder / Library / preferences / com.apple.motion.plist and throw it away. then re-boot motion, are they back?

Missing Library content.

I just installed CS 6.
Surprise... no Encore Library Files. Got Adobe Help notes that said I needed to install the "Resource central libraty content"... which I did, and I now have "Menue Templates" and that's all.
Where are the Libraries for "Buttons, images, backgrounds, shapes", etc?
Thanks... Marv.

why don't they have the download in plain English instead of calling it "Resource Central Library Content"... i.e. Library Menues, Library Buttons, etc ?
I hear that! Resource Central was (I think; never really dealt with it till it came to this issue) a more centralized repository/resource for functional content (even that word, a years old Adobe term is not exactly "plain English"!). And the term used is just "Resrouce Central" plus "Library content." See how simple?
The problem is that they seemed ot have in the beginning that users would not miss the buttons etc. Boy did we! They could have easily pointed users to the right files/instructions.
2. {Many users don't use Encore. Adobe saves a lot of download time by making this a separate install.} So... are they using another program?... or are they totally not making any DVD's?
Most are, guesses on my part, not making DVDs with Adobe products (and the only one is Encore). Some are hi gh end pros usoing scenarist or other expensive top line programs; some are using other products similar to Encore; and some are hobbyists using more simple template only apps (e.g. windows movie maker; imovie, etc).
