Please help - entire library is missing

Hello guys,
I am currently experiencing some problems with iTunes, I hope someone can help me. After not having used my PC since September, I accessed it yesterday. After installing the iTunes update, everything was still normal, but after the computer had to be restarted for the HP update, ALL my media files are gone. Not only is the library wiped, the actual folder where the file should be is empty.
I will explain what I did below.
Also, please excuse my English, it's not my first language.
Okay, then let me explain my problem from the beginning. Maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong.
I am from Germany, but I am currently in the US as an exchange student. At home, I used a HP PC with Vista, but I decided to buy a little netbook (Asus eeePC)to take with me. The most important thing for me was (and still is) my music, my iTunes library. It is 86.4 GB big and consists of everything; songs, TV-shows, movies, apps, podcasts, audiobooks - you name it. In short, it's the result of years of listening to and collecting music; and it's not mine alone, the whole family uses it. I researched ways to copy my library unto my new netbook, but with a file that size, it's not that easy. Eventually, I decided to use a backup and re-create the library on the netbook. However, this did, for reasons unknown to me, not work, the backup was (from the 2nd disc on) unreadable. I created 2 more backups, tried to read them with different PCs - the same problem every time.
Finally, I had to leave without having accomplished anything. But I took my iPod touch with me, it had most of the files on it. I hoped that I could somehow transfer the files from my iPod. However, shortly after I arrived, it was stolen. I bought a new one, but of course all the files on it are gone.
In he meantime, my family at home created a new backup and send it to me - but this one, again, is not readable. Now I researched other possible ways on how to get my files over here. I decided to use a torrent this time. I had someone install a VNC client on my PC so I can access it from here, and then I installed utorrent and created a torrent from my entire library, send it to myself per e-mail and started downloading on my netbook. I was really happy to finally have found a way - but I should be wrong.
Since I had access to my iTunes after so much time, I decided to open iTunes and listen to a few songs. However, as my PC has not been used since I left in September, there were some available updates. Unsuspecting, I installed the new iTunes version and also a HP update. After the iTunes update everything was still okay, but after the PC had to be restarted for the HP update to work, my entire library was gone! And I checked, not only is the library empty, but the actual song-file is gone, meaning when I open, eg, "C:\Users\Chris\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Linkin Park\Meteora" the folder is totally empty.
That's how it is now. I decided not to do anything big, as I am afraid I'll mess it up even worse (though I don't think that's quite possible - there is nothing to mess up left, afterall).
Please please please, can somebody help me?

If you don't have any other back up, and the torrent files you sent to yourself are gone, then your music is gone.
Nobody can help you recover data that no longer exists, but I can offer some sympathy. Sorry to read your story.

PLease help, I must be missing something!

I'm new to itunes and ipod and I'm finding it very frustrating to load and unload songs. I have a large library on the computer now, and I would like to to load and unload music every so often with the 2G ipod i have. I can't figure out how to simply do this! I follow the help guide, I put the music on, and I can delete it, but on the 'devices window' when my ipod is plugged in, it says that I have 47 mb of music and 1.16G of 'other' with only a little free space left - so every time I try to put music on it, it tells me I don't have enough free space. What is taking up that memory. Someone please help!

If you don't have anything important in "Other" that you added, likely it is garbage (this complaint is reported here a lot) and what you should do it use the Restore function in iTunes to reset the iPod. That should free up all that "Other" space for your music.

Tutor 14.0 Problem - Please help! Vertical scrollbar missing

I recently upgraded from Tutor 12.2 to Tutor 14.0.
When I publish the Desk Manuals for each actor, the html page does not have the vertical scrollbar, and you can't access the documents that are at the bottom of the list.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix for this? I searched for patches in Oracle Support but could not locate any.
I tried to troubleshoot this by replacing the tutor.css files and tutor_script.js file with those from 12.2, but that didn't work. Is there another file that controls the output of HTML files when you publish through Tutor Publisher?
Please help!
Thanks!

Please help iPhoto library problems - faces, facebook etc.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but iPhoto 09 has never worked very well for me. When I first started to use iPhoto 09 I went through my library to tag everyone so they came up in the faces thing. I had to add lots of missing faces because it didn't detect many. Then it merged lots of the faces together under one face name and also lost most of the ones I had tagged. I was really annoyed because this took me ages and I read on the forum that others were having problems so I decided to leave it for a while. I also had a huge problem uploading to facebook. When I made an album to upload it would start but then my internet would go off and then iPhoto just crashed. Whenever I touch any of the facebook albums iPhoto just crashes. After a couple of updates I started to think these features might be working better so I decided to sort out my library. I started to sort out the faces thing where they different people had been merged. I went through and added lots of missing faces. When I went back to check these photos the names I had added disappeared from the photo. I tried about 10 times and each time they disappeared on the same photos. Facebook was still crashing so I deleted all of my facebook albums which took ages because it kept crashing. Now it has duplicated an event and put it under a blank name and a different date. When i try to delete the photos they stay there and when I try to merge the folders that are the same, another event gets put in the folder of the same date, creating different duplicates. I don't understand what i'm doing wrong and I'm so scared of losing photos and all of the things like dates and order etc. Can anyone tell me why i'm having all of these problems? I think i need to rebuild my libary but I don't know how and i'm scared of losing photos or dates, or names or places or faces. Sorry such a long post, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Please help. Music files missing from itunes and computer!

I know that this isn't exactly a new issue, but I have scanned the discussions and nothing that I have read seems to help. My son has a nano (4th gen). He isn't sure but he thinks that maybe he disconnected his ipod before a sync was complete or something because all the music was deleted from it. He's not positive that's what happened but that's his best guess. No problem -- thought we'd just pull songs over again to it from our library. However, when we try to do this, on about 50% of the songs he wants (all were purchased, not from CDs) there are exclamation points next to the songs when we try to drag them and it says the file can't be found. I have looked in the itunes library on our computer and while I can find the libraries, they also don't have these specific songs we are looking for. I've tried to search and I just come up empty. Is there anything we can do beside buy the songs again? There are about 16 songs or so. A couple of them I have on my itouch. Could I somehow transfer the couple of songs to the computer? And would that work to get them to his ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

+It appeared to do that as there are now duplicates in our library, but when I tried to drag the new song to the ipod, that darn exclamation appeared again and the song wouldn't transfer.+
It's easy to get rid of the duplicates. iTunes menu > View > View Options
Check the Date Added box, then click on the column name Date Added twice. Eveything you added to day will be at the top.
Then click File > Show Duplicates and only delte the one from today.
Do NOT delete both duplicates, or the song will be entirely gone.
As for dragging songs to the ipod, it has to be set for "manually manage music" for that to work. I don't understand about the exclamation point showing up again, unless you were dragging the 'old' reference that got deleted. Tyr dragging over the copy from today.

PLEASE HELP! SYSTEM APPS MISSING

Please someone help me! My iPhone 4s on 6.1 is missing all it's system apps, my spotlight search is turnned off so I can't search for the apps and whenever I attempt to restore the phone I get an error and I cannot restore from IPSW file or from a previous backed up point of my phone.

The apps that are native to the phone can't be deleted. They are either in a folder or on another page/screen. The reset home screen layout should put them back where you can see them

Please help my library is gone after recent update

The automatic update was installed, and now there is NOTHING in the library. What did I do, and more importantly, what do I do now? I tried to drad the My music files into itunes, but nothing happened. I got some strange thing about damaged files. HELP me,please!!!!

Thanks - that's a bit helpful, but it's still rather a pain, especially for music that you didn't purchase via iTunes.
I was able to restore those using the "transfer purchases" feature. But I still have about 600 songs that I didn't purchase from iTunes Store ... problem is, following this suggestion will be slow and tedious, because I have to figure out which songs are not in the iTunes Library and then re-import them.
(As I've mentioned in other threads up at the top here, the third-party options, like iPodRip and Music Rescue, aren't working at all for me.)

Please help me find my missing loop!

I have a song I made a while ago that wants to load a loop named "*WM Latin Shaker.aif*", but I can't find it anywhere. It's driving me nuts, I really want to work with that piece.
Since I made the song with GB I've installed Logic Express then Logic Pro, so I would think I should have everything, but this puppy is nowhere to be found. Couple of other loops have gone missing on me, too. Yarg.
Can anyone tell me where this might have come from originally? I fear it may have been in one of the now-unavailable Jam Pack samplers that used to be up on .Mac, which I have not kept. Or maybe it's on an earlier version of GB, the disk of which I can still dig up. So it may be somewhere on my drive or in my apartment and I would dearly love to track it down!
TIA...
Mark

Yeah, I figured the "WM" prefix was from its name in a sampler pack (all of which I definitely did download once) but there's nothing called "Latin Shaker" in the full World Music pack (or what came with Logic Pro 8, which I assume is the same collection). The loop may be in there somewhere, under another name, but even if it is, I can only hear what I'm seeking in a bounced-down stereo recording and it's difficult to perceptually isolate that one loop out in a fairly heavily layered piece. Which would make it hard for me to recognize even if I found it! I'm kicking myself right now for making a point of purging my loop collection of the sampler stuff once I got the whole shebang with Logic.
Do you (or anyone else) know if the same loops have worn different names in different versions of the jam packs? If so, any chance there's a reference doc somewhere that gives the translations?
Oh, and do you know if by any chance those free sampler packs are still available somewhere? I'm a MobileMe member and they're not on the iDisk where they used to be.
Thanks for the response, Christoph.

Adobe's Tech Support is AWFUL!!!!!!! 5 days and no solution!!!! Please help!!!! crashing!

I this issue can be address be addressed....
I am completely disappointed, frustrated and angry!! I have spent over 9 hours on the phone with tech support - in India. This would not be a problem, but it seems these techs at the call center don't really know anything about Adobe products. And..... they speak very poor english. I even had one agent put me on hold for 45 minutes!!! It was at that time I realized what a sucker I was for waiting that long and hung up.   They don't document the cases that well, because I've called at least 30 times. Each time I get asked what the problem is, after I've given them my case number. At a certain point, and as much as we designers pay for these products, I just want to speak with someone who can help and communicate well with me.   Sorry for the rant, but it's ridiculous.
I recently upgraded my Creative Suite master collection to CS6 Creative Cloud Master Collection. Here are my system specs:
3.06 Ghz Core 2 Duo
6 GB RAM
OS- (currently) 10.7.4
CS6 Creative Cloud worked great with Mac OS 10.6 - no issues. However, like an idiot, I upgraded to Mac Os x 10.7.4.   Immediately - all Adobe products would work until I saved a project a second time. So here's the scenario no matter what product I use:
1. Open application (photoshop, illustrator, indesign, premiere, etc...)
2. begin using application - no prob just yet.
3. Save / Save As project. saves fine.
4. Work some more - fine
5. Save Project - application crashes / spins, application not responding (gets to 83% and crashes / spins everytime).   However, do a Save As - different project name, no crash!
6. Upon Saving a second time and application becoming un-responsive, I will try to Force Quit from finder. This causes my entire system to become un responsive. Only solution is to shut off the computer.
So Far I have done the following-
1. reinstalled all applications
2. Manually removed all applications and associated files - caches, prefs, etc.   / re-installed. Doesn't work
3. Created another user and tried applications with same results.
4. Tried the Root User
5. Reinstalled yet again.
6. Checked for bad fonts. no avail.
Cany anyone please help! I'm missing deadlines as it's been a five day issue!!!!!

I thank you all for taking the time to respond. Your help and input is greatly appreciated.
David_B — to answer your questions.
-The problem has happened with all items in the suite, but mainly with illustrator, photoshop and indesign
-I was previously using CS4 before my upgrade. But again, CS6 was working fine with OS 10.6.8
-Project freezes are occuring with both old projects and new ones.
-Earlier version, CS4 has since been uninstalled as tech support had me manually uninstall all softwares.
- The computer is on a simple network. We tend to work from a file server, however, the issue also occurs when saving to desktop or primary drive.
-When I save second time, and software freezes, I am saving to same location, trying to over-write the file.
Manish-Sharma—
I've tried both. Saving the files to desktop, my user document folder, and our file server.
It also appears, that the article you linked is something I have not tried. I will give this a try today. Thanks!
Gavante—
Thanks for trying to help calm me down.
Please don't misunderstand. You are correct, the people I've spoken to have all been very nice. They're just doing their jobs.
However, I have asked several times to recieve elevated help. The last phone call I was on yesterday, prior to writing this lasted an hour +. I spoke to 5 different individuals, all who continued to pass me on to someone of equal support level. By this time I was very frustrated. The last individual made a concerted effort to let me speak to the senior level support. He assured me I would definitely recieve a call back in 10 to 15 minutes from a senior level support agent.
That was yesterday at 2pm. I have yet to receive a call.
It's also not an issue of me being able to understand the agents accents.   Quite the opposite.... It is they who have trouble understanding me, making swift communication very difficult. Which, as you can imagine, to a consumer trying to get an issue resolved is frustrating.

My songs won't play because the original file can't be found. Please help.

I cannot play any of the songs in my iTunes. Whenever I try to play a song an error message pops up. It reads, "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have to search for the song on my hard drive in order for it to play. This process works but it would be very timely and tedious to go through each one of my 5300 songs to get them to play. Is there a faster way of doing this? Please help. Thanks.

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Searching library by missing photos

I would like to be able to search my entire library for missing photos and be able to narrow the search by date, type, etc, which I can already do. The only way I can think of to find missing photos besides looking at each one to see if there is a question mark is to rename them or export them. Then lightroom will bring up a list of missing photos that cannot be renamed, exportorted, etc. What would also be nice is if the text in that list of missing photos could be selectable so i could copy the file names and paste them to my notepad so i can proceed to search for them.
Im a professional photographer and these features would be really helpful.
Thank you.

I may be misunderstanding what you are wanting to do, but the find missing photos command from the library menu will find all missing photos in the entire catalog.

Live Bookmark Feed failed to load. I cannot view any footage on BBC News site. Also I can no longer view images I have uploaded to a website. This has all materialised overnight. Please help.

I have been uploading pictures of booksd to ABE.com for ages. I am able to view these images on the site. Today, without warning, I am unable to do this. Coincidentally, I note that I can no longer view film footage on the BBC news pages. The Latest Headlines column is also showing "Live Bookmark Feed failed to load". Please help.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images permissions.default.images
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
