New itunes can not remember where my data is

this has got to be the stupidest version of itunes (should be i lost) yet. iLost can no longer remember where my data is along with one its crashes that wiped 4tb of media (yes thankfully it was backed up, you know how long it takes to transfer that much). The media is on a 8Tb network drive, i have to reset in prefs where it is at least every other hour which means I have no access while it "updates" its library and puts things where they belong. That also means that I have to put my tv shows (purchased through itunes) back in the tv folder, itune for some reason itXXX thinks they're home movies!!!!!!!!!
it resides on my macpro with 16gb ram. it has in the past worked as the media server for the house, now it's just a pretty piece of metal most of the time.
any ideas out there
any ideas on a better media manager, there has got to be one.

Yes, problems with networked drives are common on the forum. Perhaps something to do with sleep/power saving features. I don't know there are any alternatives. There's something called Songbird or something like that , but I haven't heard of a lot of people switching to it. When iTunes came out a decade or so ago there wre more players, but a free application put an end to shareware competitors.
I can't help you on the renaming thing. I still use iTunes 7.5 and have never had any issues like that (KISS).

New Itunes can not find library file

After comuper crash and new hard drive, I downloaded current version of Itunes. Error message is can not find itunes Library.itl. Any suggestions?

Did you restore your iTunes folder and all its contents from a backup? The library.itl file contains all the references itunes needs to where your media files are located, playlists etc. Without the old copy and without the media files you are basically starting brand new.

New iTunes can not play music, can not locate songs in my music library

I only use iTune on my PC, so this Should be simple. I downloaded a new version of iTunes when prompted to do that. With the new version, I cannot play my music. It asks me to locate songs, but nothing helps locate them. I put ogver 4000 songs on my hard drive and now, thanks to going with the prompt, I cannot play any of them. What can this low tech 68 year old music-lover do to listen to his songs once again?

I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
Thanks!

HT1212 I can not remember my passcode on my iphone 4s. I tried it 5 times told me to try again in 60 minutes. Will I lose all my photos, data, contexts and texts if I try again. Or is there a way to restore it? I do not have an icloud or itunes account.

I believe if you really cant remember it, you can restore your phone by plugging it into itunes. This would wipe your data, but hopefully you've already backed up your phone via iTunes or iCloud.

HT201303 I can not remember my answers to my security questions. Where do I get help?

My daughter can not remember her ipad password. Went into itunes to reset her password and it wants a password which we do not have!!!!! How do we reset a password for her ipad?

Have a disabled ipad due to my daughter can not remember her password. Went into itunes to reset password and it says we need a password....which we do not have. How do we reset her password?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. If you have IOS-7, read this.

HT1725 Where do I go when I can not remember my security questions to find the answers or to change them?

I can not remember my security questions answers to use my itune card to purchase things. What do i do or where do I go to retrive the answers?

If you can't remember them then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer

When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up. when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
