"Phantom" projects appearing in iTunes since 3.3 upgrade!

Hi all,
Since upgrading my Aperture library in 3.3 (supporting iPhoto), "phantom" albums have started appearing in iTunes, as shown in the attached photo. These albums *do not* exist anywhere in Aperture, although they seem multiply on days when I import images, leading me to believe it may be a bug with importation. According to iTunes, they contain no photos, and they are not visible in iPhoto either.
I have run through all of the normal steps, from repairing permissions to rebuilding the entire database.They don't prevent me from syncing my "real" projects, so this is more of an annoyance... but it is still quite annoying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Josh

the error occurs when iPhoto tries to open the library but it's already open in Aperture. For some reason, occasionally it will manage to open it even when Aperture already had it open!
That is an interesting finding. Please send feedback to Apple with a bug report, for that should not happen:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
I gave up and exported the entire library and created a new one. On the bright side, most of the metadata exported too (e.g., faces, places).
How did you export? If you exported all of your library items with "File > Export > Library" you should have been able to preserve all of your Metadata, not only most of it.
Just out of curiousity: Have you tried to rebuild your Aperture Library after you first noticed the problem?
Regards
Léonie

Purchased itunes music does not appear in itunes since reinstall

Its my wifes ipod, I had a fatal HD crash, had a recovery service retrieve all the data. As I am now rebuilding my pc again I did a fresh install of itunes, then replaced the itunes folder from the new instal on C:drive with the retrieved folder on an external drive. It seemed to populate all the nusic (68 G) but as I a looking through itunes the purchased music playlist is empty and I know She purchased a lot of music.. What do I do? Also should I be sure she does not auto synch before this issue is resolved>
Thanx
Dan

If you think all the music is there, you can sync to the ipod.
The purchased playlist is a smart playlist. Since you re-added the music to itunes, it just doesn't show them in the purchase playlist, but they are porbably still in the main itunes library.
You can make 2 smart playlists to find the files
Kind contains purchased (this will show itunes plus content)
Kind contains protected (this will show non-itunes plus content)

IPhone 3G (PAYG) now no longer appears in iTunes after attempt at upgrade

I did the correct procedure for upgrading to 3 (latest OS, latest iTunes) and it downloaded okay but then stalled on the back up stage. The G5 invited me to unplug and plug iPhone back in but that did not work. I have since tried repeated unplugging and plugging of the phone, switching off and on of the phone and the computer (including a safe boot). I have replaced the iTunes application and its prefs. I have tried different USB sockets and I am wearying and wondering if the thing is broken. I expected server access problems and slow processing but this I did not expect. I can't restore the iPhone. I have even tried launching the new software from within Users/Me/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/iPhone1,23.0_7A341Restore.ipsw. Totally baffled, the iPhone will not even go into charging mode, though it appears to work otherwise. Help!

Eventually solved - I think it was traffic on the server

Then my ipod stopped syncing with itunes. Im on a PC with windows 7 (64-bit). So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. My ipod coninues to not sync. So, I finally reverted my ipod back to factory settings and then it took like 8 hours total for my ipod to revert, update to ios 5, and then resync my apps, music & vids and settings with itunes.

TS1369 Since I have connected by iphone 5s to my computer my 4th gen shuffle is not appearing in itunes when it is connected. It doesn't seem to be a USB issue as the ipod is charging when it is connected to the PC.

Since connecting my new 5s my 4th gen shuffle is not recognised by itunes.
The device is not appearing in 'my computer' but is receiving power as it is charging.
I never had this issue with my 4s.
I have tried the troubleshooting with no success.
If anyone has any suggestions on what settings I need to change or what I need to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also see these (if you haven't found them already):

IPad not appearing via wifi in iTunes since re-install Lion

Ever since I re-installed Lion on my macbook, my Ipad doesn't wirelessly appear in iTunes (it did before) any more. It only works when I link it with the cable. My iPad doesn't recognize it anymore because of my macbook's new 'user name', I presume. How can I reset the connection?

Hi,
Thanks. I already knew that document and checked all the steps (except the router, but that can't be the problem since it worked before with the same router settings). I checked them again, but nothing changed.
The sync-box is checked in iTunes, both my iPad and MacBook are on the same network (I only have one network), on both my MacBook and my router I switched off the firewall completely, my iPad is recharging on the lightnet, I restarted both iTunes and my iPad numerous times... Tried it all.

TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

Mike:
Just had the very same problem. iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1). I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere. Didn't work. What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes. Once it restarted it was there and synching. I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
Try this. May work for you as well.

AppleTV not appearing/syncing in Itunes since the UK film roll out...

I know there are post on this already, but I've never had any problems at all with my AppleTV being recognized or syncing with Itunes since before now... I'd got a bit giddy with excitement over the roll out of the films on iTunes, so I decide to download a rented one from iTunes (no menu option to do this on the AppleTV at this point. The download went pretty smoothly taking an hour or so, and I was able to move it over to the AppleTv.
Interestingly enough the new Movie menu options had now appeared after being received. I had made sure that the AppleTV was up to date before this I may add and didn't have any further upgrades, so how did it get the new menu options?? So after that I noticed I was able to browse and buy films directly from the AppleTV ( but I have not tried this yet) Anyway...
I watched the rented film, and it was fine, all went smoothly, told me I had one more day to before I'd lose it... Shortly after watching it the iTunes I sync with on my MAC lost connection. Not a sign of it. Factory reset the AppleTV, re-installed iTunes. Nothing... Then I tried connecting from the AppleTV by syncing a new computer with the 'four digit code' And hey presto invoking that procedure brought up the AppleTV back in my devices on iTunes.
So.... Now all have to do is sync everything over again, fine, take a few hours I know. After three hours and more the sync freezes, so I cancel it. And guess what folks! No AppleTV in my devices as before.
Now as I say at the beginning of this post, I've never had a problem with syncing with AppleTV, I believe the introduction the films to iTunes has introduce a software bug, or maybe made an existing one worse!

Yeah ,this only worked temporarily. I don't know what's going on with my router and my AppleTV but it's proving impossible to reliably sync to the AppleTV when both the AppleTV and my iBook (the syncing computer) are connected to my router wirelessly. Sometimes, fiddling with the router fixes it, sometimes rebooting the AppleTV fixes it, but invariably, the time comes when I can ping and see the AppleTV from my desktop (connected to the router via ethernet) and not from the iBook (connected wirelessly)

Since update 11.1.4.62, my iphone does not appear in iTunes at all. How can I fix that?

Hi,
I updated iTunes this morning and now my iphone, ipad do not appear in iTunes.
I tried unplugging the usb cable and but it still does not work. I tried powering off my iphone but it does not connect.
my husband has the same problem with his ipad with his pc. He did the same update this morning.
Anybody has an idea?

I had the same problem and tried some of the fixes describing Apple Mobile Devise settings etc. it didn't work.
What did work was uninstall iTunes and othe various Apple apps and then reinstall with the latest version of iTunes from Apple. All my playlist, music, setting remained intact and it works like a charm.
