My Itunes Just updated to 10.7.0.21 library and keeps corrupting and removing my library constantly

OK I don't know what is going on with my PC but it has some serious issues it would seem. Important sidenote: I've had some major issues with the 10.7.0.27 update and iTunes.
A few days before installing 10.7.0.27, I opened iTunes and all of my music and playlists were gone. Frustrating, but I keep all my music filed on an external hard drive so I was able to import all of music. I couldn't get back my playlists but that wasn't the end of the world.
I noticed in my iTunes folder (G:/My MUSIC > ITUNES) that there is a file called "iTunes Library (Damaged)" along with my current "iTunes Library.itl". I presume the 'damaged' library is the one where my playlists reside but due to some fault I can no longer access them?
Can I make use of the 'damanged library' and perhaps restore things to how they were? If I cannot use the damaged library then can I delete it?
I checked the 'Previous iTunes Library' but the only library in there is the one from the first day of purchase (so it's empty).
iTunes does seem to be very buggy for me at the moment. Would deleting preferences etc be a good idea at this point? So many issues I Just Want To Be able To Use my Library without having to constantly have to import my thousands of songs over a series of many hours every time i open my itunes.
Any Help Would be Appreciated.

Wow I'm so happy that people arent helping at all. Thanks apple youre the best!

  • Hi!  I just updated to Mountain Lion to make full use of iCloud, and I am attempting to turn on Photo Stream.  I currently have iPhoto '09, version 8.12, and think I need to update to iPhoto'11, but I'm reluctant to do this due to very bad reviews.

    Hi!  I just updated to Mountain Lion to make full use of iCloud and am attempting to turn on PhotoStream.  I have iPhoto '09, version 8.12, so I think I need to upgrade to iPhoto '11.  I'm reluctant to do this as I've read a ton of bad reviews written by people who have purchased the new version.  Any suggestions?  Is it worth it?

    Obviously only you can decide what is "worth it".  Millions and millions and millions of people use and like iPhoto '11.  Some don't. If you want PhotoStream then you must upgrade to the minimum software levels

    I just had this issue. Go into settings and reset the Apple TV after the firmware update. (note just "reset settings" and NOT back to factory settings)

    I have a iMac and i just updated the computer to Yosemite.  I have Photoshop CS5 and when I try to print under print size --- manage custom size , photoshop unexpectedly quits every time.  I updated the printer drivers (epson 9880)  uninstalled and installed all the drivers. restarted computer and it is still doing the same thing.  Cant find any costumer service here either except forums.

    I have exactly the same problem - Whenever I go to Print, the print widow appears, it thinks about it for a bit (rotating symbol) and then quits.
    This is the beginning of the problem details, cut and paste. It goes on much longer than this:

  • I just updated FF to 14.0.1 (Mac 10.6.8) and now netflix won't work. It's asking to restart in 32 bit mode and I changed it in the Get Info to 32 bit. No luck.

    Try downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight for Mac [http://microsoft-silverlight-mac.en.softonic.com/mac link text]. I just did this, and was able to play Netflix's streaming again--and without that "restart in 32-bit mode" button even appearing!

    Hi spiritentrep,
    What Adobe software are you referring to? Are you using Acrobat? You should have no problems running Acrobat XI on Yosemite, and as along as you have compatible scanner drivers for your Epson, you should be fine there as well.
    Best,

  • Why did itunes just update my phone to an iOS version it isn't compatible with?

    Who on earth thought this was a good idea? Itunes installed 8.1 on my phone, which was done in desperation to try to solve some nonsensical phone behavior. Now that the update is complete, itunes says "oh, sorry, this version of itunes doesn't work with 8.1" SURPRISE!!! HAHA SUCKA!
    Really?
    So now I need itunes 11.2 or newer. I can deal with that. Upgrade now? OK - I click the button to upgrade. I'm taken to the app store, where the only thing available is... Yosemite? Really? I have to update my entire OS to Yosemite just to update itunes just to plug in the phone that my current itunes version installed the 8.1 software on?
    Is there any other solution? Honestly, I would like to go back to iOS6. Every OS update just slows everything down, on every device. This modus operandi of apple's is getting really, really tiring.
    Any tips on how I can sync my phone without further degrading my laptop's performance with an entirely needless OS update? Will smashing it with a hammer help? 

    What OS do you have on the Mac?
    iTunes 12 will work on OS X 10.7 to 10.10 (requirements listed in the tiny text below the download button).
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You cannot purchase these older OS's now from the App store, but you can get 10.8 from the online store…
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    If you have the older OS's in your App store account purchase history you could install them.
    I'm afraid you don't have much choice now. iOS cannot be reverted, and iTunes 12 doesn't seem to run on 10.6 or earlier.
    Contact the genius bar or Apple if you think they can help, but Apple prevent iOS being reverted, so I think you are out of luck, unless you have a warranty & can convince them to exchange it for a device on an older iOS version.

  • I just updated my iPod touch 4gen. To the latest software and now I can't sync my apps

    I just updated my iPod touch 4gen. And I was able to sync my music but not my apps. When the apps I chose ate checked, it shows me how much space I have left. As soon as I click the apply button it starts to determine apps
    To sync. The it finishes and none of the apps get put on and the green bar in the capacity gone away.

    Maybe these previous discussion:

  • I have a regular PC and I am trying to get my Notes from my I Phone onto ICloud, but it will not allow me to.  Can someone help me? I just updated my phone after not doing it for a year and am new to I Cloud.  Can you all help me? Thanks.

    Hello. I would really appreciate anyone's help.  I just updated my I Phone.  I am not a tech savvy person, although I am a writer.  So, please understand. I just got an I Cloud account. I am about to get a new I Phone tomorrow and therefore, I need help.  I need to know how to back up notes on my computer.  It is not a MAC.  Can someone help me?  It will not allow me to.

    iPhone 3G is Old technology. When it was launched it had iOS 2.0. Currently, the highest it can go is iOS 4.2.1 and therefore can not handle many newer applications. As you have recorded, it is giving good service for which it has been designed.
    Needless to say, if you want to use applications as stated, you must have at least 3GS, whose current is iOS 6.1.2. On the lighter side; Rather than updating iOS they are asking you to update iPhone (Technology). Cheers

  • I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

    I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

    What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
    What are the audio settings?
    What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
    If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
    It could be related to the audio frequency?

    I just updated the OS on my IPad.  I turned it off and now have retured to it and it won't turn on.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.
    If that does not help, see if this article does:  <iOS:  Unable to Update or Restore>.

  • I just got v10.6, while trying to run the update, it's telling me that the file is corrupt and cannot be saved. What do I do?!

    I'm running Snow Leopard v 10.6 on a Macbook 4,1. I've got a 500 GB HD and 4GB of Ram. While trying to run the software update (to get me to 10.6.8, I think?) I keep getting an error message around 600 MB that says it's unable to be saved because the file might be corrupt and that it will try again when the software update is ran next time. Why am I getting this message? Is there a way to get the update (so I can eventually get to Lion), without going through the software update screen?
    I'm going crazy with this. I've tried 4 times now and still keep getting the same message.

    Try downloading the stand alone installer here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    In Safari Preferences, General tab, set "Save downloaded files to: select destop, if it is not in thed rop down select other, then selcet Desktop from the left sidebar. After the download completes click on the installer package on your desktop and follow the prompts.
    Also if possible use an ethernet conection as it is less prone to interference, thus less prone to corruption, and usually faster.
    Hope this helps

  • How to transfer itunes library to external drive and keep playlists and ratings

    I don't have much space on my laptop. I have attached an external drive. I want to access my Itunes library from
    the external drive.  All attempts to move the library now result in me losing my "playlists"  and even more importantly
    my ratings and genre information.
    How can I move the library with all my associated data intact such as the playlists, ratings, genres?
    I want this external drive to be the main location where I access my Itunes library.
    Once that is done I will work on backing it up, as that will be the only place that the data exists.
    Also, will my Apple TV be also be able to access my Itunes library with playlists. thus far I have not been able to do this.

    Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Consolidating your library - Windows
    Then copy the iTunes Folder to your external drive. Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    Disconnect your external drive and connect it to your new computer, copy the iTunes folder to the new pc. When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    Once you have copied everything over hold down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. Navigate to where you placed the copy of the library file and open it up: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
