Rebuilding library and podcasts

Good morning,
I followed the KB article HT1451 to recreate my library, as my iPhone was showing incorrect artwork for some albums.
However, I've noticed that my podcasts, while restored pretty normally, don't contain the podcasts that didn't contain any episodes. Any way of preventing this so I don't 'forget' about a podcast I used to subscribe to?

Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library.  If you can't then give this a try:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Transferring Library and Podcast List from One Computer to Another

    IPOD Classic.
    I have set up Itunes on Compaq XP laptop and have my library and Podcast subcription list on it.
    NOw I have a new desktop Gateway with Vista and have downloaded the itunes program from the apple site.
    I desire to get everything from the laptop over to the new computer. so that I dont have to go and resubcribe to all of the podcasts on the new computer,and so that I dont have to try to figure out how to resave everything on ipod to current Vista computer.
    How do I accomplish the above?
    When I plug Ipod into new computer it asks me if I want to erase and sync to the new Itunes on new computer but it doesnt ask me if I want to transfer from current Ipod anything to the new computer.
    Is there a file on the old computer that I can find that stores all the info and just transfer it over using a USB or an external Hard Drive.
    thanks in advance for you help.

    I'm having a similar problem, however my old computer died. I cannot get access to it. I'm trying to get my old itunes library associated with my new computer now, but it seems like I need to have access to my old computer? Is there any way to transfer my library to my new computer without needing to access the old one?

  • Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
    When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database?  Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
    Those are the two options to use.
    Here's another fix you can try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

  • Beachballing, rebuild library and Javascript issues

    I have constant beachballing in Aperture 3.03. I went to Aperture help to find out how to rebuild library and am told I need Javascript to read Help answers. What I get in Help is not clickable. How do I get/install Javascript for Aperture and how do I rebuild the library. I am hoping this will cure the constant beachballing.

    Hi Birgit (lovely name!),
    as to rebuild the library did you already try to launch Aperture pressing the option+cmd keys?
    This should force the Aperture First Aid Window where you can choose to repair permissions, repair and rebuild library.
    If you didn't, give it a try...press and keep pressing on option (is the key marked with 'alt')+cmd keys and click on the Aperture application icon to launch it...do not release the keys and the First Aid screen should open.
    Hope this helps you!
    Bye!

  • My iphone 4 is "rebuilding library" and doesn't finish. Keeps telling me to launch photos. help!

    my iphone 4 is "rebuilding library" and doesnt finish. It just keeps telling me to launh photos, i need help! i dont want to lose all of my photos!

    Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

  • MicroPhoto cleanup, rebuilding library, and PC recognition iss

    Had problems with my 8 gig microphoto starting about a week ago. In the past, the player would get nudged, and start over. Rebuild library and so on. Every few weeks. One out of every three or four times it'd lock while rebuilding, so I'd go into cleanup and take care of that, and it'd start up after rebuilding.
    A week ago, it went into cleanup, and kept going past 00%. starting it back up in rebuild, it would build about 0%, and only the first 60 songs I loaded show up (the dri've shows the correct amount of used space).
    I flashed newer firmware to the same result.
    It's also not being recognized in Creative Media Explorer but charges and is recognized as being plugged in by XP.
    What do I do? I could reformat, but I'm concerned that won't matter if it won't recongize.

    Hey, I am having the same problem with my Zen MicroPhoto. I still haven't figured out whats wrong. I've formatted it a few times and I've tried to put my music back on there and it always says there is a thread error. Sorry I couldn't help you much if at all.

  • Lost settings, library and podcasts

    Today my iTunes has lost all its settings. It's showing an empty Music Library (all the tracks are safe and sound on the NAS, just not showing in iTunes), no playlists and, most annoyingly, no podcasts - neither subscriptions nor past episodes waiting to be listened to.
    This is iTunes 7.0.2.16 on XP Pro. It was running fine yesterday morning.
    Anyone seen this before and know an easy way back? Obviously I can reimport the Music Library from the folders on the NAS, but rebuilding the playlists and the podcast subscriptions will be a PitA. Is there a set of files I can restore from a recent backup to get back where I was?
    Thanks in advance, guys ...
    Nick

    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    It also sounds like you have renamed your home account. Change it back.

  • Music library and podcasts

    I like to listen to music by selecting all tracks to play randomly.
    However, since I install the podcast application, this also includes the podcasts, which I do not want to be included when I actually want to listen to music.
    So is there a way to tell the music library to ignore all the podcasts?
    (btw, I own a e51 if that matters)

    I am having this very same problem. ever since I allowed some new updates, everything changes on my computer. my desktop icons disappear, all my itunes songs vanish, my websites favorites are wiped out. it's a tremendous pain to have to create new favorites everytime I turn my computer back on again.
    I've seen that the files do not actually disappear (for example the itunes music is still located in my old files, but the library shows nothing.
    basically my problem is that each time I power on, my desktop appears clean as a whistle, with just my main drive and my priceless My book icon showing. all my 22+ other icons have dissappeared. so I navigate to the old desktop file, command c to copy all the desktop icons, commnand paste them back onto the now clean new desktop, eveything now looks good, I do the same thing for itunes, find the missing files, import them back into itunes....but then when I shut down and power back up, the pasted icons and newly imported music AGAIN all disappear.
    extremely frustrating, but I'm determined to find the solution.

  • Sync library and podcast clarification

    I had to erase my computer fully after it got a problem from an Apple update but my old iTunes library - whilst deleted on the computer - has remained on my iPod.
    I thought it wasn't working for a while so have been using my new iTunes loading on some CDs (though not everything i own as on the iPod) and purchasing music. However, I now find the iPod has resurrected itself apparently so I'd like to start using again all together.
    I have transferred the purchased music onto iTunes and that's great.
    However just have a couple of questions and confirmations for syncing the two:
    1. By agreeing to sync it says that the iPod memory will be replaced with that from iTunes. Does that mean that the library filed on my iPod will combine with the iTunes library or does it mean that the iPod will be wiped and I will have my more minimal CD library (although all my purchased tunes)?
    2. What happens to the podcasts from my iPod? Is there a way to ensure they are transferred into my iTunes library - or are they non transferrable (which seems to be the case)
    Thanks for any advice.

    "1. By agreeing to sync it says that the iPod memory will be replaced with that from iTunes.

    Choosing Erase and Sync will wipe everything off the iPod and replace it with what you currently have in your iTunes library, it won't amalgamate the two sources. Whatever you have on the iPod that isn't in iTunes will be erased.
    While the the transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • ITunes loses my entire library with artwork, playlists and podcasts every time I close the program. Any advice very welcome

    iTunes loses my entire library with artwork, playlists and podcasts every time I close the program. Upon restarting it takes at least 15 minutes to rebuild the library and podcasts and a lot longer to replace the artwork, I also lose playlists. I would really welcome some feedback and assistance here and am losing faith in the Apple product. Since iTunes has been updated to version 11 it seems to have caused a lot of issues for many people. I am hopeful of a reply and a resolution. I have approx. 1200 albums at just under 90 Gb. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Ditch AVG (at this stage it really does seem to be the problem for some people) and install Microsoft Security Essentials...

  • Player stuck on rebuilding library.

    My MP3 player is stuck on rebuilding library and has been for the past 2 hours. It also is not being recognized by my computer if I try to plug it in.

    It wasn't even plugged in to my usb cable when it started doing rebuilding library. Not exactly sure why it started doing it.... I just turned it on and it went to rebuilding library and stopped there. Someone told me to try and see if I could plug it in and do anything with it and it my computer won't recognize it.
    Yeah I have all my songs saved on my computer but I don't know how I can format my player since the thing isn't even being recognized.

  • Rebuilding library creative V how long should it ta

    I just got? my creacti've V 2 days ago & after I took it off dock it says rebuilding library. It's been rebuilding for 8 hours. How long should it take or should I plug the usb back in. reset only takes me back to the rebuilding screen. PLEASE HELP

    Ha...it should only take a few seconds. My brand new Zen V Plus is a victim to this hardware problem. It froze on me while initally loading songs. I had to reset using the tiny hole on the side.When I turned it back on....you guessed it..."rebuilding library". End of story. It hung there. I reset again and started to the "recovery menu". First tried "clean up",? scan disk said 00% completed but would not clear or allow menu to return.Reset again. This time I reformatted; a hassle since I had spent an hour loading songs. This Worked!? I got past the "rebuilding library" since there was no library left to rebuild.Started loading songs again. Got about /3 of the library reloaded and then froze in the middle of a transfer.....oh no.......Had to reset again. Tried "clean up" again, (same result). When I restarted, I got "rebuilding library" and the progress bar stopped about 3/4 of the way across and that was all she wrote. In desperation I thought I would try to reload the firmware, perhaps correcting some deeper flaw. I downloaded the new firmware, BUT THEN ran right into a problem that people on this forum have been gnashing their teeth at for over a year. My? new firmware refused to recognize the player even though it was plugged in. I have WMP on my PC...but I wasn't using it. (I use Media Monkey). So I have no idea why the software refuses to recognize the player, but it is a VERY widespread problem. I had the Zen V 4 GB player and am still using it's but I have never tried to reinstall the firmware. Good thing, it would probably be as dead as the new one. Of course I called Creative Tech Support, but the dude offered zero solutions and just told me my player is toast. Thanks a lot. Fortunately, it is new so the store will have to replace it. But this was a terrible experience and reading about so many others having these various problems, I may be shy of CL in the future. Too bad, I absolutely LOVE these players. When I get a replacement player, now I am worried about the software on my laptop from the Zen V 4GB and the leftover software from the aborti've 8GB. I am wondering if I should uninstall Everything before proceeding again. Ya know, it Really shouldn't be necessary.
