My iTunes library has disapeared?

My iTunes library has disapeared? I now have zero songs in my library and when i try and synch my iphone i get the message "this iphone is synched with another computer, do you want to erase......" It is 100% synched with this computer as i only have one. I've done a bit of digging around but can't find a solution. I also DO NOT have AVG antivirus so it's not that either. One of the options is to use the "previous iTunes Libraries" folder, but i don''t have one of those either, it's almost like it's a brand new install. Please help, i need my music!

See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
Are the media files still present inside the media folder? Have you checked for the presence of .tmp files in the main iTunes folder?
If recovery from the computer is not possible then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Mt iPhoto library has disappeared from my laptop after syncing my new iPhone with the laptop. I now have a new iPhoto library with no photos. I have tried pressing option when opening iPhoto but I only get one library option and can't find my old one

My iPhone4s was recently replaced by apple due to grey out on wifi. when I went to sync with my laptop my iPhoto library disapeared and I was left with an empty library. I cannot find my old library on my laptop. I only get one option for a library when i open iPhoto while holding down option key. I am worried I have lost all my photos. there seems ot be no iPhoto library on my iCloud either.
Any suggestions?

Syncing with an iPhone should not delete the iPhoto library on your mac. It only will upload photos to the phone (iTunes sync) or import (connecting by USB). How did you sync your phone?
TD, do you know of any way, that a sync could delete an iPhoto Library on a Mac?
You may have opened a wrong library or may be working from a different user account. Are you using the same user name and Apple ID as before?
How have you searched for iPhoto libraries? Have you searched with Spotlight?
Each iPhoto library contains a file called "Library6.iPhoto" - even if your iPhoto library should no longer be recognisable as photolibrary, this file should be found:
Type "Library6" into the "Spotlight" search field in the upper right corner of your screen, like this:
When you see a list of files, select one of them and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ to reveal the path to the file.
If Spotlight cannot find the file in the packages, use "FindAnyFile" http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile

HT204655 How to have a unified Photos Library after migrated from iPhoto and Aperture?

The "HT204655: Get started with Photos for OS X" do not help. If you have previously used iPhoto and Aperture, when you "migrate" the iPhoto, then follow the steps to "migrate" the Aperture library, you end up with 5 files in your Pictures folder: Photos Library (from iPhoto), Photos Library 2(from Aperture), iPhoto Library (Not sure if can be deleted or not - of course no), Aperture Library (for some reason blank), Aperture Library 2 (Created by Photos?).
So, looks like a mess and no easy way to make a clean migration.
I've a hope that exists a solution to have a single Photos Library with the merged iPhoto and Aperture contents, like a real migration.
If I export everything (From iPhoto and Aperture) then import in the Photos in a single Library should work, but will lose all the organization, faces, etc...

You could merge libraries with iPhoto Library Manager, but I never tried this for merging Aperture 3 libraries with iPhoto 8.
Are you planning to keep all your photos in iCloud? Then consider to merge them in iCloud, but it will take a long time.
Are you using iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and have enough iCloud storage for the merged library?
Wait, till your current Photos Library has been completely uploaded to iCloud.
Then quit Photos, and launch it again, while holding down the alt/options key. Select the old iPhoto lIbrary.
When the upgrade of the old library has been finished, make this library the System Photos library (in the Photos Preferences > General).
Enable again iCloud Photo Library (Beta) in the Photos > iCloud preferences.
Now Photos will upload the new library to iCloud as well and create a merged library in iCloud. After this merged library synced with your Mac, you will have a merged Photos library.

ITunes music library has disapeared

I have a Mac mini with all my music stored on a Time Capsule. I've recently put the Mac mini to sleep but turned the TC off at the plug.
I've just gone to start up iTunes and now all the music has gone from my iTunes. It's still on my TC but the library is blank.
Could anyone tell me why?

try this:
quit iTunes
go to your iTunes folder (on the TC or your boot drive) and move the file called iTunes library to the desktop
open the folder previous iTunes libraries and find the iTunes library file with the latest date appended
move this file to the iTunes folder and rename it iTunes library (i.e. remove the date)
fire up iTunes while holding option (⌥), click on choose library when prompted, and the select the iTunes library file you just renamed

Half of my music library has vanished from iTunes...help!

Ive lost most of my music in my itunes account. I cannot find it anywhere on my computer and am having trouble accessing the cloud. Has this happened to anyone and how do I restore?

Hi Nathan,
You need to make sure the external drive is mounted and accessible before opening iTunes.

Music has vanished from itunes! Help!

I just logged into my itunes to discover that about two thirds of my music has gone! Including stuff i uploaded personally from cds. Can anyone please help me find it or do i have to start from scratch? I'm pretty hopeless with computers, please help!

tony.... me too! only it happened about 2 weeks ago....I got a new computer. Now my itunes Library only shows albums I have bought from Itunes Store. It used to list my entire library song by song. Now I have album covers and no song list. I bought a new album from Itunes since I have had the new computer, and plugged in my Ipod to transfer it to the Ipod. It didn't accept the new album, but luckily it also did not erase all the songs on my Ipod.I am afraid to plug in the Ipod now as it might eat all my existing songs. Most of them were from CD's. It takes hours to download all those CD, I hate to do it again.

Lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help, lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help

HELP! It appears as though I have lost most of my photos from 2012/13. Could be any number of issues. Most likely: i-cloud sent me a msg saying I was running out of space and suggested I make room by deleting stuff. I did. I deleted photos as I thought I had them all on i-photo. Now they're just gone. I've checked my different libraries. I tried to open a library I backed up to an external hard drive but it wouldn't open, saying I needed to update using updater. I installed up-dater. Nothing happened. Still get the same message. And now I can't open iphoto at all. Was updated when I installed Maverick, was it not? Anyway, app store says its updated. So perhaps the issue is Maverick?

You might get better results asking in the iPhoto forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto.

My entire iTunes library has disappeared from my Itunes (except for 5 songs i purchased yesterday from iStore. Had about 300 songs!! Anyone know how this cd happen? Have Windows Vista. Computer did recent Windows update. Also recently renewed Trend.

My entire Library of songs (over 300) has suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Only songs there are 5 I just purchased from iStore yesterday. Has never happened before. Windows recently installed some updates. I also recently renewed my Trend anti-virus. I have no idea where the Library went. Have done a Search of computer and checked Recycle bin....the songs are gone. WHAT happened????? Can I get them back from Apple somehow? Can I restore them from my Ipod? (I am afraid to plug in the iPod because if it Syncs, am afraid it will also dump all my songs. What can I do????

a) See: How to rename your iPod.
b & c) If you can still the view hidden files, see this Music from iPod to computer.
"I see LOTS of files - but they all have funky names like XYZAV.mp3"
That's normal. When those files are back in iTunes they'll have the correct names.
Once the files are back to your computer (and only then), you should restore your iPod. It would appear that the hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable.
