Music Library Not Shown when Started ITunes

I conneted my Ipod nano (2g 8Gb)to sync with my PC and if any updates were available, only to be faced with the error of "Ipod has been synced with another Itunes library" which it has'nt. In addition Itunes was not showing any of my music files.
I checked with preferences and Itunes is looking in the right place but is not showing the files in the normal way.
I have upgraded to Itunes 8 today thinking that the process may resolve the issue but it has not, can any one help?

Hi guys,
Just a note, itook the long way round to this problem and manually found all my tracks in the itunes library. this seems to have solved my problem, albeit it was a bit boring. I then re synced my Ipod with Itunes. It would be interesting if anyone else has solved a similar problem much easier however.

  • Music library not shown

    I am guessing that after the last update to 6.03 my muisc library was moved out of iTunes. I see my music via Finder but not when I open iTunes. How do I put the music back there?

    Put your library wherever you want, then . . . open iTunes, it'll either ask you to go find your library or . . . you go to the Prefs and tell it where it is.
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced (button):
    At the top of the panel - "iTunes music location". Click the "Change" button and go from here.
    Hope this works for you!

  • Music Library not showning up after upgrade

    I just got the new iphone last night. Came home and upgraded itunes to 7 and now when I open itunes it can't locate my music or other files. I check the preferences/advanced settings and it's pointed to the right folder but not reading the contents....please help

    Under those circumstances, first try the following troubleshooting document:

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch properly now?
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library. 
    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library?  and then install fresh to fix this problem?

  • How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • HT204053 I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. How do I get my music to get on my phone. My iCloud is on on the desktop and iphone

    I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. My iCloud is turned on. All my music initially did go to my iPhone

    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.  iTunes Match is a different service from iCloud.

  • What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

    What a pain -on a mac- never had aproblem- loaded a new shuffle with music - will not let me sync itunes store bought songs- will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • Artworks are not shown in my iTunes

    To save disck space on my MacBook I have all my music files on a external hard drive (and the iTunes files in the MacBook disk). However, very often, a lot of artworks that I put in my albuns are not shown when I open the Itunes. To refresh the album artwork I have to go inside each album and see the information of the albun's first music. Do you know any way to force Itunes to refresh the view of the artworks?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

  • My music will not synk when I connect to my Ipad

    My new music will not synk when i connect my Ipod

    Hi!
    when you connect your iPad to iTunes an iPad tab was appear in left (iTunes 10 or older) or on top right (iTunes 11):
    1) In Bottom of this page you have an option to sync "Only checked songs". turn it off if you don't check your files in library.
    2) Check the Music tab sttings on this page (included albums for sync).
    3) Check the free space on your device!

  • When starting iTunes I always get the message "Do you want the application"... My firewall is on and incoming connections are allowed

    When starting Itunes the following message appears every thime:
    Do you want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections?
    I always click on Allow, but it doesn't help.
    I'm not using the root user to work on my mac and turned the firewall on.
    As mentioned on a website I already removed the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist file, but it didn't help.

    Found the solution:
    I checked iTunes by executing the following command in a terminal window:
    codesign -vvv /Applications/iTunes.app
    I reinstalled iTunes because my result was different from the expected output:
    /Applications/iTunes.app/: valid on disk
    /Applications/iTunes.app/: satisfies its Designated Requirement
    I logged in as a root user.
    In /Library/Preferences/ I deleted
    - com.apple.alf.plist
    - com.apple.alf.plist.lockfile
    (although I could not empty the trash bin due to the lockfile, you can after a reboot)
    I clicked on the iTunes.app application and pressed command+i
    In that window I allowed everyone to read/write
    I've moved the application to the trash bin.
    After rebooting the mac and logging in as a root user, I could empty the trash bin.
    I made sure that my firewall was started again, and downloaded the latest version of
    iTunes (currently 10.5.1).
    Launching iTunes doesn't give any warnings anymore because it's auto-trusted by mac.
    Hope this helps others.

  • HT1364 If I already moved Itunes media folder to external drive and now music is not matching up in iTunes?

    Dear Itunes Community~ 
    This is my first time using glad you are here, but all the passwords!!
    Question/Quandry:
    If I already moved Itunes media folder to my external drive and now my music is not matching up in iTunes, what should I do?  I have tried my solution !?, and now I have 17,000 songs, instead of 9,000!
    Should I just uninstall Itunes, and then reinstall Itunes, and let it do it's thing, and then figure out how to move to the external hard drive later?
    Help, I screwed it up all on my own!
    Any/all help and Itunes educated suggestions appreciated!
    Thank you very much,
    Doris =:o
    PS ~~ Is there anyway to easily delete duplicates?? Seems not?

    I have a very similar problem. Hope I don't confuse people trying to help us since the solutions may be different.
    I had my iTunes path directed to a 2nd internal hard drive. Everything was working fine - except I found that purchased Apps were still being downloaded to the Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive instead of the 2nd internal drive. I decided to retry directing the iTunes path to my 2nd internal drive, hoping that might get iTunes to save my Apps there. Big Mistake. Suddenly, there were no Apps showing in my iTunes Library Apps window at all. I verified the downloaded apps are still in my main hard drive's Mobile Applications folder, but I cannot get iTunes to display them in my Apps Library window anymore.
    I decided to try downloading a new app and, sure enough, iTunes once again downloaded it into the very same Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive, where all my (now orphaned) original apps are, but the only one iTunes will only display in my Apps window is the new one. I read you can redownload purchased apps, but my apps are not missing. iTunes just won't display them in the Apps window anymore.
