  • ITunes library does not show up on second hardrive

    I upgrade to Tiger on an external hardrive, when I launch iTunes, none of my music is there. Do I need to move the music folder to the external hardrive, or is there a way to have iTunes find the music from the main drive?
    Thanks,

  • ITunes Artwork Screensaver "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs

    i have been using the iTunes Artwork Screensaver on my 1.25GHz PowerPC G4, running Leopard 10.5.2 and it has worked perfectly, showing all my album artwork. i got all the album covers from amazon.com or google. i have always kept my iTunes Library on my Boot Drive and have never moved it.
    Yesterday when my computer went into screensaver mode (itunes artwork) the message "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork"!
    This is really strange, as all the albums in my library have artwork. i have also tried deleting the iTunes Artwork Screensaver preference file.
    I know that there are many issues with the artwork screensaver, but i have not found a solution to this problem.
    I would appreciate anyones help!

    i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one with this problem. i have seriously tried everything, like deleting the preference files of the itunes screensaver, using a script to embed the artwork, repairing disc permissions but i the screensaver just won't work. the message that my library does not contain any artwork still appear every time.

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

    It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

    If you connect to another PC does the iPod show up in My Computer?
    Have you installed only camera or scanner programs on your computer?

  • New itunes library does not indicate what's watched or unwatched !

  • Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder

    Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder. For example one of the three CD's form a triple album do not show in Finder. And therefore they do not get saved when I back up my Mac either. Any ideas?

    Consolidate ("organize") simply looks at everything you have in iTunes and copies them to the iTunes media folder location specified in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.  If you select to use the default settings iTunes will copy any files in its library in the correct location in the media folder.  Since you don't want the files in a different locaiton really but just want to deal with some stragglers don't do the full "move" in hte instructions below but make sure they are organized.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
    The files will be copied so you will need to find the originals abd once you are content the library is working you can get rid of them (I often archive them on an external drive, delete the originals, then play the files which is a sure test if you have a workable copy on the computer).

  • Itunes Store does not show lastest podcast but it downloaded

    So i am pretty much and stuck on this issue. I have seen a couple of other post but no answers. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
    The issue is the Itunes store does not show the last episode by it can still be downloaded and played.
    The latest episode the Itunes store shows is 10/17/10 however it has been updated weekly.
    Link to Itunes:

    I have used a couple of feed validaters and nothing seems wrong to me. Can anyone find an issue i have not looked at? Should i just try to contact Apple Support?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    The iTunes Store caches the feed and checks periodically to see if it's been updated, so there is a delay before new episodes appear: however it's usually around 2 days, not almost a month. When subscribing the iTunes application reads the feed directly, so there is no delay.
    Something is preventing the Store from updating the feed. This can happen if there is some oddity in the feed which throws the Store but not the application - usually a strange character of some sort. I looked for something like that in the first episode not to appear in the Store, but there is nothing odd there: you've used dots in the filename of your mp3 file and this isn't a good idea, but in fact doesn't seem to be causing a problem since some earlier episodes do the same thing. Ideally you shouldn't use dots in a URL.
    The filename for the episode of 28 November includes the code %3A - this is the code for a colon - you definitely shouldn't have a colon in a filename. However since this episode comes later than several others which haven't appeared it may not be fatal - but it's not a good idea.
    The other oddity is that you have two 'title' tags in the top section of your feed, both empty. You did have a title once, as it shows in the Store, but you've removed it at some point so that the feed is not titled. I don't know whether this is sufficient to prevent the Store from updating, but you should definitely replace the title - I see you are using Podcast Maker, so you need to enter the title there and republish - and see whether that helps.

  • Itunes store does not show on ipad when i launch app its pages are blank

    itunes store does not show on ipad when i launch app its pages are blank

    This indicates there might be an issue with the time configuration on the device.
    Go to Settings > General > Date and time. See if Set automatically is switched to on. If so, switch to off and ensure you set date, time and time zone manually and correctly.
    Power off the device (hold sleep button for four seconds, then slide to power off), then power back on.
    If issue persists, switch Set automatically back to on, and if not resolved then restore the device.

  • Itunes Library does not appear to be a valid music library

    Ever since downloaded Itunes 5, deleted started again back with 4.9 I have had nothing but problems. All my tunes are stored on an external hard drive.
    I have just reloaded all my music and tidied it all up nicely and then when it went to update the ipod this is the message I got :
    The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid music library file.
    iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file iTunes 4musiclibrary(damaged)1.itl
    PLEASE HELP as this is really cracking me up now.

    This is really old, not sure how much still applies:

  • Itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library file

    i'm importing AIFF files into itunes, converting those to AAC and deleting the original AIFF files. i tried to import an album of AIFF's and received a message that i didn't have enough hard drive space to import so itunes would import as many of the files as it could. i knew i'd get to this point and would have to transfer some files onto my hard drive. however, when i clicked okay, the computer froze. i restarted manually and received the following message after attempting to open itunes "the file 'itunes library 2009-12-06' does not appear to be a valid itunes library file. itunes has created a new itunes library and renamed this file to 'itunes library (damaged)'." i'm not sure why this happened and i can't find 'itunes library (damaged)' anywhere. i have all my music still i just can't get itunes back to the way it was. please help! thanks so much.

    I'll try and make this as concise as possible. Was following another thread that was "archived" without a solution. I randomly will get the error message 1450 "itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library - renamed library damaged." I've done everything and I'm at level 2 with phone support. The fixes we've tried seem to solve the problem momentarily but a few weeks will go by and the problem happens again. I loose all my podcasts and have to reload all music. My daughters have a different user account on the same computer and it happens to them as well. We have tried only loading itunes music files and that doesn't fix the problem either. We've reinstalled many times. I have an internal additional hard drive where I store the music but I've tried installing and saving everything on my original drive and the problem happens that way as well. I've read many threads and those of us with this problem aren't finding any answers. Please Apple or someone help with this. I'm ready to change phones and music players.
