New PC can't load old library.

I was able to use my iPod to transfer my library from my old PC to my new PC, however now I can't get the library into my newly installed iTunes library. What am I doing wrong? I followed the on-line help and it just says once I've copied it from iPod to my new computer it magically would appear in my new library, well it didn't. I have tried to go to the iTunes File then Add Folder to library, get to where I saved the iPod dump (file where my music is saved) and NOTHING! Frustrated big time! What do I need to do?

iTunes the application is either installed and works or it does not. If it is working then there is no need to uninstall and reinstall it. If it does not work then Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates contains detailed advice on repairing things when a simple reinstall won't work.
Uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes should have no effect on the contents of the library or the media folder. Reinstalling iTunes won't fix a problem with a broken library that doesn't contain the correct information, cannot locate files etc.
In the normal course of things the easiest way to move a library from one computer to another is to copy the entire iTunes folder from User's Music on the old computer into User's Music on the new one. Things only get more complicated if you've followed Apple's advice when running low on disk space at some point, have relocated the media folder to a new path, and thus have what is known as a split library. The migrate iTunes library post should give the relevant information in either case.
Don't worry about uninstalling iTunes. Hopefully when you copy over the entire iTunes folder from the laptop into the new computer again it will all work as it should. If not I can give more detailed advice if you can tell me more about what is stored where on the laptop, where presumably the library still works.

Can I load old library to new ipod?

I lost my ipod and I'm thinking about getting a new one and I was wondering if I could put the music from the old library onto my new ipod?
30GB 5th generation Windows XP

Plug it in to load it with your library.

ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

ITunes can't load Aperture library for iPad Air sync

I have a 120gb Aperture library stored on my NAS. Got my new iPad Air and when I go to the Photos tab in sync options, the gray wheel just keeps on spinning indefintely. I don't know if it can't load a library that big, or if there's something else going on. If I create a small Aperture library it works fine. Anyone else had this issue?
Running 11.1.3 on Mavericks.
Thanks!

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with a 42GB Library. Same issue even if I create a new smaller library. When I click on the device in itunes and then photos I get the grey wheel turning for hours. I tried switching to iPhoto library and the issue seems worse.

How do I restore my iphoto from external time machine if it isn't appearing when I go back to other dates? I can open the old library when I hold option, but it can't get it to stay.

Please help.

For TM questions there is a TM forum
In general you launch Time machine and go back in time to the time you want - select the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) and click restore
What is the reason you are trying to restore an older iPhoto library?

Hi,
It seems to be a permission issue.
Just check the permissions and grant 755 using chmod comand.
Hope it helps.

Can't load a library that depends on another

I built a library and it loaded perfectly (just for testing).
Now, my library is supposed use ALSA's API.
Now, I get to compile my library, just like before, but now I can't load the library. I get a UnsatisfiedLinkError. The message is a little cryptic: Can't load IA 32-bit .so on a IA 32-bit platform
It seems like when my library is being loaded, the alsa library on which it depends (libalsa09.so) can't be loaded. How can I avoid this? I added both my library's and alsa's directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I just can't get it done.
Here's what happens:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ao/plugins-2:lib java -cp bin wmagic.basic.Wave 440
Can't load library wmagic_alsa

If you are linking to a shared library then one of the following must be true.
1. The shared library must be in the shared library path of the OS
2. You must explicitly load the shared library first using an explicit path.

What .xml or .itl file do I delete so I can re-load my library?

I opened iTunes today and although all my music was listed under "Music" in the Library, every time I tried to play a song I am told that the original cannot be found. So what do I need to do to clear out iTunes "memory" so I can re-load the library?

Preferences just tells iTunes where to store music (in the future) it does not add it to your library. The media folder you point to (unecessarily since it is the faefault setting) can be loaded chock-full of media but you have to add it to your library before any of it will show in iTunes. Deleting those two library files just got rid of all reference to yur having those media files as far as iTunes was concerned, and now you need to have it lern about them again by adding them.

Can a stolen Ipod be shut down so no new music can be loaded?

Can a stolen Ipod be shut down so no new music can be loaded?

No. There is nothing to prevent a person from placing the iPod in recovery mode (which erases the iPos) and restoring via iTunes and using/selling the iPod.

I have switched computers - old one stolen - and lost access to my 800 or so song library. I started a new library. Is there any way I can retrieve my old library and add it to the new one?

I am not very tech oriented - I love my Ipod - had a library of 800- 900 songs - my computer was stolen, I have since bought a new one - started a new library because I could not figure out how to access my old library. Is there any way I can somehow find that original library and add it to my new library??

If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

New install of iTunes can't find old library

Hello, iTunes experts. I'd greatly appreciate your help.
I put a new hard drive in my computer and did a fresh install of Windows XP Pro and iTunes. My iTunes library has only a few tunes I've purchased, and the rest have been imported from .wav files elsewhere in my computer. Apparently those songs are not actually in iTunes, but just a pointer in the .xml index file.
I would like to connect my old library up to the new instance of iTunes without re-importing everything and re-purchasing what I've bought in the past.
I've followed all the instructions I could find on the web (copy the iTunes Music folder from the old hard drive to the new, change the location in Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced tab, do a Consolidate Library, etc.), but I can't seem to make the new instance of iTunes find the library, either in the new location or even the old one. But I am able to re-import songs successfully, although when I try to play them I get a message that this computer is not authorized to play them.
I'm pretty computer-savvy; this shouldn't be this hard. What trick(s) am I missing?
Windows XP Pro, iTunes 7.6.2.9, The old hard drive is still in the computer as a secondary drive and the old installation of iTunes on it still works (for now).
Thanks very much,
Ted

These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Can't load iphoto library copied from old computer

I copied the photo library from my old laptop onto my new imac. The pictures are all there (LOTS) and all album data, etc. I tried launching iphoto while holding the option key. I select the iphoto library but none of the new photos come up. Did I miss step?

I still can only view the previous pictures (one roll) that was downloaded onto iphoto even though all of my pictures (3K+) from my other computer are in the iphoto library.
Do you have two iPhoto Library Folders? Or is these pics visible in one library, but the others are not?
IF the latter, it sounds like a corrupted database. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Regards
TD

If I buy a new computer, can I load all my old information from the backup I have on my time capsule?

I'm basically wondering if my current computer crashes and I need to go buy a new one, can I take the information that has been backed up onto my time capsule and load it onto my new computer?
Thanks,

yes.

How can I import old library to new iPhoto on new Mac

I bought a new macbook pro and need to move my library over but already have some pics in the new library. What is the best way to add the old 20GB library to my new iPhoto?

To migrate a Library:
Link the two Macs together even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
However you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
The only way to merge the two libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
If you've not done much with the photos already on the new machine then simply export them from that iPhoto, copy the main library over and then import them to that library

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern
