My imovie keeps saying "open itunes to populate this list" but itunes is opened. How do I get my itunes back on imovie?

I have restarted my computer a bunch of times. I've opened itunes first then imovie but it just says it's loading itunes...but it continuously does that and doesn't load any songs from itunes. It's the first time this has happened and it's ******* me off.

After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

  • HT1657 Hi, I rented a movie off iTunes but the there is no sound. I've bought and rented previous movies and I've never had any problems with the sound before. Is this some kind of glitch? How can I get my money back?

    Hey grossa2,
    First, here is a way to report an issue with your purchase:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933
    Then, I'd go through this article, which helps troubleshoot a lack of audio playback in iTunes:

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

  • I have had to restore me PC to factory settings  and now itunes says I am connected to another PC not the case . How do I get my music back

    I have been having problems connecting to the internet, so I tried restoring to an earlier date with no luck, so I have had to restore my PC back to factory setting. When I log on to my iTunes library it says I am already connect to another PC. I have lost all my music and photos. I have them on my ipad but I don't want to sync it with my new account as this will take all my information of my iPad. Anyone know how to get my origianl iTunes back.   

    I did back up my computer and then put everything back on ( or so I thought) but it did not work properly ( I don't know why) maybe I hit the wrong button, but know on my back up for iTunes it is the one  I have  on my computer now without all my music and photos. Guess I'll just have to start again, I did manage to work out how to get any purchases I got from iTunes. So it's just all my own music bit of a bummer really but still you live and learn, so I'm told.
    Thanks for the help thought much appreciated.  

  • HT203167 This is the third time asking this question! I got a new computer and lost all downloads and icloud says my apple id is valid but not for icloud how do I get my downloads back?

    I lost all my downloads

    On your iTunes, Sign-in, Authorize the computer.
    Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • Been charged for jack reacher 15.99,but will not download due to too many http addresses open how do I get my money back

    Have purchased jack reacher for 15.99 unable to download due to too many http addresses. I hav only got the apple address open only would I be able to get a download and how do I go about getting a refund thankyou.

    You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
    As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.
    By the way, your holiday letter/rant/Idon't even know what to call it... is completely inappropriate for these forums.

  • HT4205 Bought my iPod from a friend and created my own iTunes account. When I updated this I now can't download any of the programs he had on this when I bought it! How do I get those programs back'?

    Can't download Facebook, some games and iBooks because I don't have the right operating system but I can't download a newer version....anyway around this?

    Purchase a newer model iPod. You have a 2G iPod , those can only go to iOS 4,2.1 and many apps now require a higher version.

  • I dropped my iPod 5 in water and it says that I have headphones in it when I don't how do I get the water out of the headphone jack ?

    I dropped my iPod 5 in water and it says that I have my headphones in but I don't how do I get the water out often headphone hole ?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • IMovie says "Open iTunes to populate this list."

    When I try to add a photo or song to my iMovie project, the program says "Open iTunes to populate this list." (In the photo section, it says "Open iPhoto...") Opening either program doesn't change anything.
    I've reinstalled Lion and iTunes to no avail. I have also moved the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to the desktop, and although iTunes creates a new file, the problem persists.
    I get the same messages for iTune and iPhoto in other programs, including Mail and Garageband. The problem seemed to pop up when I was connecting my iPhone to the computer to send an iMovie iOS project to iTunes.
    Please help.

    Hi, I have this same issue. I'm not so sure how to remove the preference file from my media browser though. I don't even know what the media browser is. Any help would be very appreciated. I can't access my iTunes data from iMovie or Keynote.....likely other iLife and iWork programs as well.

    It may help to trash the iApps Preferences File.

  • My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    this may happen on external drives if:
    The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for external drive
    Close iTunes
    Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
    Mount drive again
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
    If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
    The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for internal hard drive
    Close iTunes
    Reboot system
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
    Reboot system, restart iTunes
    If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

  • Open iTunes to populate this list.

    Hi, when I attempt to add sound FX or Music etc in iMovie (or Keynote) I get a message that says "Open iTunes to populate this list" Unfortunately opening iTunes doesn't help. I can't access my music with iTunes or Keynote etc. Any help would be very appreciated.
    I have heard that deleting a prefernce file in the Media Borwser can solve this but I'm not sure how to find it.

    Thanks for your help. I'm not sure why but my Library folder is off my HD. Its not off my username folder. Even in my Library folder those files indicated in the support page weren't there. I may have deleted them earlier today when I deleted several preference files. Such a hassle. I have already reformatted and reinstalled as well....I was amazed that it did nothing.

  • Open itunes to populate this list in iPhoto

    IOS 10.10 yosemite
    Iphoto 9.5.1
    iTunes 12.0.1.26
    My problem is when i open my iPhoto and pick the song for my slide show, it show "open iTunes to populate this list" on the iTunes selection.
    I have tried deleting the iTunes library xml file and creating a new playlist to create back a new library file but i still can't link my iTunes library file to my iPhoto.
    I have no problem at all before i upgrade my mac to yosemite.
    Please help!

    I have this exact same problem! Did you resolve it at all? I did not have this problem before the Yosemite upgrade.
