New Library, Existing files, & iTunes Match

I had a hard drive die but I have all of my music files backed up to a NAS. I use iTunes Match. My problem is now that I have a new installation of iTunes on the new hard drive, I don't have a library file anymore. I have an old backup of that file, but unfortunately, the hard drive was dead for a quite a while before I knew it, so it's pretty dated. On the new installation of iTunes, my cloud library shows up once I turn on Match, but it of course doesn't know that I have all (or most) of the music on the NAS, so it wants to play all of the music from the cloud instead of the local drive.
Is there any way to make the library file on the computer know the physical files are already present? Can I start a new library, add these files to it, and then turn on match? Is my only recourse to re-download my entire 20,000 song library?
I'm trying to make my cloud library, with all of my play history, remain intact and for that computer to point to the files on the NAS so it plays them locally instead of from the cloud.

What is the iCloud Status of the tracks?
In iTunes switch to Song view and pull down View > View Options then select "iCloud Status" and close the small window. Post the status here.

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
Any suggestions

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

The kerning tool appears to be stuck? Cannot make any changes to text boxes in new or existing files

When I try to adjust the kerning in any text box, whether it be in a new or existing file, the change will not take place. It will just automatically return to either the default. Please help!

Thanks, perhaps this might help. as you can see the kerning is set at 300 which should make the T/E very far apart they aren't. The "after" shows the kerning set at (0), even though I made the change to 300. The cursor is in the correct place, even though it doesn't appear on the screenshots.

Illustrator CS4 opens fine but cannot open any new or existing files

Hi guys,
I'm running Adobe Illustrator CS4 on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.7 Lion and for some reason I am no longer able to open any new or existing files. Illustrator boots up just fine but 'File>New' gives me nothing. 'File>Open' gives me my usual search box but once a file is selected, again, I get nothing. Dragging a file into Illustrator gives me this response',
before promptly quitting.
I have tried deleting all the files from my Illustrator Preferences folder but doesn't seemed to have helped.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could be out of luck. See Scott Worthington's post here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4844260#4844260

HT4913 Trying to add new macbook air to itunes match. process starts but never succeeds. works for a while then give error about itunes server.

Trying to add my new Macbook Air to iTunes match. Process starts but goes nowhere. After some time I get error about iTunes server losing connection. Help! I want to access all my music.

Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either- what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

I keep getting the message come up every month or so. Especially after I've just download a lot of new tracks.The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?

I know how to get my old library back - but I want this to stop coming up time and time again. My Mac won't allow me to down load the lastes iTunes software. What do I do?

this just started w/ me yesterday. I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere. I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit". Download is useless because I'm already running the latest. Quit is pretty useless.
I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music. Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

New problem: the file iTunes library 2011-03-18.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes..please help

I cannot get itune to play... message reads: The file "itunes Library 2011-03-18.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I thought I had the latest version. I tried to restore going back to a different restore time period in my computer; but that did not work either... Is there a geek squad for itunes?

The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
As long as your computer supports it, the latest iTunes will work with all shuffle models, back the first one.
Just one thing. The latest iTunes hides the sidebar, which can be confusing for long-time users. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under Views, select Show Sidebar.

How can 2 family members who share an iTunes library both use iTunes match?

My wife and I both share an iTunes library on the same Macbook and both sync our phones to that computer. We each have our own Apple ID and we use a 3rd account for iCloud for Photostream. In ios5 we were able to both access the music library on our iPhones via iTunes match while signed in under our unique IDs. Now, it will only let one ID access the music on the phones. How can I get it to work like it used to, where we can both access the music while both continuing to be logged in under our own IDs on our own phones?

I am taking this slowly so I have not added my iTunes music to the new laptop yet until I figure out how to make it work. But I have just downloaded a digital copy of The Dark Knight and when I log on to my girlfriends user and open iTunes, the video is not there. When I log back into my user and connect her iPhone to iTunes, I am not allowed to drop in the movie. That is where I am at. I need to be able to add my stuff to her iPhone and her stuff to my iPhone without syncing and losing all info.

Did you reset your Preferences and Photoshop tools. Photoshop Preferences are not removed with an un-install and an Install does not install preferences. Preferences are created for a user id when a user ID start Photoshop and there are no preferences for the user ID.

Photoshop Elements 10 - 'Save As' text no longer displaying existing file, which matches the text so far entered

Photoshop Elements 10 (On Windows 8.1 64-bit laptop)
Until recently, 'save as' showed any existing file name, which exactly matched the text so far typed.
That's particularly useful when creating multiple photo files, with suffixes of '(1)', '(2)', etc.
Suddenly that great facility has stopped, forcing me to always type the complete file name for each new item.
I assume that a setting has been lost.
How do I get it back?

Thanks again.
I held the keys down for at least 15 seconds in my previous attempts.
I’ve just tried the entries, holding the keys for around 30 seconds, with the same results (or lack of same).
Thinking about my thought of copying the Preference settings from the same program on my desktop, I looked on the Internet for Photoshop Elements 10 Preferences file locations. I found a display, which suggested: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements (9.0\10.0\11.0)\Editor
From that, it appears that mine may be held in:
C:\Users\Fred Niven\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Editor
But I’m reluctant to copy any such file from my Windows 8.1 desktop’s Photoshop Elements 10’s file(s),
to replace the equivalent file(s) on this laptop, until I know that I’m replacing the correct file(s).
I’d create a System Restore Point beforehand anyway, just-in-case.
Cheers,
Fred

Renamed multiple files iTunes Match. Can I restore from time machine?

Hi
Hopefully someone might be able to assist.
I downloaded a live album from a bands official store on their website.
After importing into my itunes library, I tried to rename the two discs so that they appeared as one album, (I've done this lots of times before).
Stupidly, I was rushing before I had to leave the house, was unaware that is actually selected 50 albums and accidently renamed a large number of files as one album!!!
It's made slightly more complicate because I have iTunes Match and they were all stored in the cloud.
Can I restore from time machine and manually update iTunes Match?
Amy help would be appreciated
Thanks

when i say right clicking, i mean in itunes, right clicking the song and going get info and then changing the properties via the info tab.
yehh i done the grouping tracks together by holding down the command key.
but because i have some smart playlists with the same songs in, i changed both the genre and grouping not realising, this was ok for one smart playlist but totally messed the other up, especially because in for example "dance classics" smart playlist, there also in a folder on my hdd, . and thats the playlist i messed up., but if i drag the folder back into itunes, there all over the show on itunes and in the other playlist too, hence why it isnt as easy to easilly sort and rectify.
so what id like to do is just copy the folder again from my time machine backup, replacing the files but im unsure if this would solve it.

How can I manually transfer a song to a new device without turning iTunes Match off & on again?

I purchased a new cd & imported it into my iTunes library on my computer but I don't have access to amazing internet. iTunes match ran for two hours without managing to finish sending my library's information to Apple & so I still don't have access to my new album on any of my devices. The last time I turned off iTunes match to sync a song manually to a device I discovered upon turning it back on that iTunes apparently had to re-match my entire library from scratch which took days. Very not cool. Any suggestions?

If you wish to sync music to your iOS device via USB it is not necessary to disable iTunes Match in iTunes. You only need to disable iTunes Match on the iOS device and restart the device.
If the service is having trouble with the scan try restarting your internet modem and/or Wi Fi router.

New Library, Existing files, & iTunes Match
