No Folders being found by Itunes

Hi
Have just upgraded my Itunes to V 9.2.1.5 - Now none of my files are being found and displayed in Itunes. I have changed the location using Edit/Preferences to point to the location of my old Itunes folder. These folders are fine - they are not empty but nothing shows up in Itunes??
Itunes behaved as if it was a brand new instal and not an upgrade when I brought it up the first time. I am worried that it talks about Itunes Media when my folder is called Itunes Music.
Any help would be appreciated??

My iPhone 3G is no longer being "found" by iTunes - please help

I am an advanced user, so this makes it even more baffling.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) and I have the iPhone 3G (OS 4.1)running with iTunes 10.0.1 (x64). I have also now updated to the latest iTunes 10.1 but I am still having the same problem.
The issue bellow suddenly started about a week: For some reason, when I plug-in my iPhone, it is no longer recognized by iTunes. I have "removed" and "re-installed" iTunes (re-downloaded too) but to no avail.
I have tried plugging in my wife's iPod Touch into the same exact machine (my computer) and the same USB cable was used and her iPod Touch was found with no problems. I then go and plug in my iPhone (using the same USB cable) into her old Windows XP laptop and it is found without any problems. I have tried using her cable on my machine, but same problem persists. When I plug-in my iPhone, iTunes just locks-up. As soon as I remove the phone, iTunes unlocks itself.
One other thing that might be of help to someone to diagnose my problem: When I plug in my iPhone, I get the USB "found sound" via Windows 7 and then it is repeated about 10 seconds later.
Also I have noticed is that my iPhone is found by Windows 7 without any problems because I am able to see it and access it (the photos) via Windows Explorer. Also, as soon as my iPhone is plugged in, it recharges just fine.
What could be wrong? I only need to access iTunes so I can sync/backup/update the phone.
Please help with any and all suggestions.

Yesterday evening, I was finally in contact with Apple, and to make the long story short, they seem to have "fixed" the problem. It's complicated to write it all here, but I will try. The problem was that the somehow my updated Apple Device USB driver was not correctly installed!
So try this:
REMOVE exactly as it tells you here (in that particular order):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US
Reboot and then make sure all is gone as the way it tells you on the previous link I wrote above.
Create a new Windows 7 USER ACCOUNT with Administrative power. Call it anything you want, but for now, I will call it MIKE
Reboot machine.
Login as the newly created user account (MIKE).
Re-install the X64 iTunes version. You don't need to reboot or start up iTunes.
PLUG IN the iPhone.
Then go to Control Panel / System / Device manager. Look under Porttable devices and you should find Apply iPhone. Click on the driver version. It should say 6.1.7600.16385 (Date 6/21/2006). Close that top window. Now con to the Universal Serial Bus controllers under System. When you open that, you should see the first one listed as: Apple Mobile Device USB driver. Select it. Then go to driver. If it does not say that it is: 6.0.9999.52 (dated 9/16/2010), you have the same issue that I had.
You must then select UPDATE driver / Browse my computer and then you need to point to a directory called:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
or it may be inside:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
What you will need to have is the file called: usbaapl64.sys
That is the file that was never used by my computer, and therefore, caused this non-finding of iPhone in iTunes.
I won't go into the full details, but it seems that somehow during one of the iTunes installations or updates, the file did not get placed in the right directory and somehow some bad data got written into the registry and therefore it never was installed during the future iTunes installations / updates. Although it seems like Apple guys helped me with my problem, I still have not heard a logical explanation of why it happened in the first place. My computer is 4 weeks old and was built and clean-installed from scratch. Everything worked for 3 days and then suddenly it just stopped.
After you are done with this, try starting iTunes with your phone plugged in (doesn't matter if you plug it in later). Hopefully you will see your iPhone!
If all is okay, exit iTunes and LOGOFF the the user (MIKE) that you just created.
Switch back to your real user. Then go and DELETE completely (all files, settings options on) the temporary user (MIKE) you created.
Restart the computer and hopefully, when you start-up your iTunes and plug in your iPhone, you will again see your iPhone.
I hope this helps you! Please let me know.

Ipod not being found by itunes

When i connect my iPod to my laptop itunes cannot find it. Both iPod and iTunes work perfectly when used seperately but as soon as i attach them the iTunes is classed as *"not responding".* The menu is frozen and i cant select any options despite the iPod screen having "Connected" displayed. When the iPod is then disconnected the message *"The iPod "Mike's iPod" cannot be synced. The requied folder cannot be found"* appears in the box that contains a red cross.
This means i cannot sync any new material to my iPod. What should i do? Please help as it would be much appreciated and i have tried everything the support site suggests.

Try deleting your preference files and restarting. These files can be found in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.(itunes.eq, ipod, itunes).plist/

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Why isn't my Ipod nano 6th generation being recognized on itunes after updating software to 1.2

Files are not found in iTunes

Everything seemed fine, but after I added some new files to iTunes, the files were not found in the iTunes. What's going on??? It shows that the songs is being loaded into iTunes, but there's actually no file!!!

hey!
i just fixed this problem on my itunes today..i was about to go insane because i am so not computer literate.
what i did was:
-go to your start menu.
-click search (the magnifying glass icon).
-under pics,music,or video, search for one of the songs that
is showing "file not found",exclamation pt.
-when you find what file it is under,see if more of the
songs are in this file,too.
i got lucky,i found all of my music hiding in that file.
AND they were all in mp3 form,with the itunes symbol
(the green music icon)next to each of the songs.
the not-so-fun part was,i had to double click on each song (about 1000 songs,but i was willing to do anything after all the bs!).
this copied them to my itunes,and put a copied version next to the one with an exclamation pt.
i hope this helps!
good luck!

TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
Any suggestions?

Does the iPod work OK?
Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

my ipod touch 2g is no longer being recognized by itunes why and what can i do i have reset it and everything

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. 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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
