Music library is corrupt and can't be recove

okay- here's the deal. Had a Zen xtra for 2 years with no problems LOVED it! the battery started screwing up so I had purchased the extended warranty from best buy and turned it in for a brand new one. This is when it started giving me this error:"Your Music Library is Corrupted and cannot be recovered. Media Source will now revert to your most recent backup avaiable. Would you like to continue?"--no matter if I clicked yes or no, the following message pops up:"The PC Music library cannot be opened as the database engine is corrupted. Please run the microsoft jetengine 4.0 service pack 3 or above that is available at the microsoft website".--- I have the most current updates on my computer. I am running XP. I've tried deleting everything and starting over and still get the same thing. Don't know much about computers but is it pointing to the right database? Is there a registry that I need to erase? What is going on? Please help! ANYONE!!!!!! I need my music by this Thursday becasue I am going on vacation!!!
thanks, jksprout

HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

My music library seems corrupted. Nearly every song (431 albums) displays "the song ... could not be used because the original file cannot be found". Is there any way to correct this? Please help, thanks, Kelly

Select one of the songs in question and right click, then select "Get Info". On the main dialog page you should see where iTunes thinks the file resides. Then use Windows Explorer to see if the file is actually there. If not, find out where your music is stored.If there is not a correlation between iTunes and reality, go into iTunes and delete all of the files which are not found. Then, in iTunes, select File->Add Folder to Library and select where the music is stored. iTunes will re-add all of the music into your library.

HT4914 Once I upload my music library to the Cloud can I then remove it from my computer to free up space on the hard drive?

iTunes Match does not allow streaming to a computer.
If you want to utilize the media on the computer, it must physically be on the computer.
Also, if syncing media from the computer to an iDevice, the media must be physically on the computer to sync. Removing that media from the computer will remove it from the iDevice it is synced with.
iTunes Match is not a backup and should not be utilized as single storage for content.

You should be storing everything on your computer. Just sync it to the iPhone of your choice from your computer.

Just got a new mac computer and none of the music from my old computer's itunes transfered when I transfered the contents of the hard drive. Now I'm trying to transfer music from my ipod and can't get all the files....help?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)

Probably the file got corrupted during the download? Download it again.
If that does not correct the problem, can you share that file download?

I had to reset my IPhone device to the factory setting, but when I wanted to start using the IPhone, it requires the original Apple ID which I do not recall the password.

How can I update my music library on Windows and a library on Mac on netwo

I have music on my PC and music on my Mac, both systems running iTunes.The 2 systems are networked. Can iTunes update my music library on both computers so they have the same music library without deleting any songs?

iTunes cannot, no.
See this -> syncotunes.

Can I Use My Music Library With itunes and ipod if it's Only Saved to an External Hard Drive?

I have very little space left on my internal hard drives. I have the same music library saved on an external drive. To get some space back, can I delete my music library from the internal drive C and just use the library on the external drive? Will it work in my itunes library and ipod? I want to download more music but I'm afraid to right now, because there is hardly any space left!

Rick,
For everything you should know about Time Machine, see http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
If your photos were on your internal drive then, yes, they are likely to have been backed up by Time Machine.
However, if Time Machine starts running out of space, it will delete old back ups and thus your photos aren't really 'safe' just on a Time Machine back up. What you really need to do is either:
Buy another external hard drive for storing your photos and other files, or;
Back up your photos to DVD's: there are a number of cataloging apps that you can use to catalog your files or, if you have named them something specific, use something like DiskTracker.
Either way, don't rely on your Time Machine back-up to store your photos.
Good luck - call back if you need more information,
Clinton

HT1535 I want to sync my pc itunes to my ipad music library. All I can do is from PC to ipad and I will lose my entire library. I have even bought Itunes Match but it will only allow my PC ITunes to match, not the other way....really frustrating as I am o

No.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

6300 Music Library Contains Ringtones - and I can'...

Hi,
I recently updated the firmware on my 6300 to V7.21 as per the instructions - and I now find the music library in Music Player contains ringtones (in .AAC format) - and I can't see how to delete them from the main library.
Is this a quirk of V7.21 - or have I done something stupid ?
Confused of Birmingham...
