  • I have multiple libraries on an external drive. Somehow all the iTunes library files i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, Media folder, etc disappeared! Only the music files remain. Now when I start iTunes w/option it can't find any of the old libraries!

    Help! I 'm using an old G4 powerbook, Mac OSX 10.5.8, iTunes ver 10. I have multiple iTunes libraries on an external drive. Everything was fine for a while, then all of the iTunes library files, i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, artwork folder, Media folder, etc mysteriously disappeared! Only the music files remain (thank god) So now when I start iTunes w/option key to choose a library, I can't choose any of them because iTunes won't recognize them. Because all the library stuff is missing. So can I re-create the library files? (I don't care if I lose my ratings)
    Or should I create a new empty library on the external drive, then manually move all the music files to the Media folder in the new library?
    I tried some stupid ideas like creating a new library just to start iTunes, then going into prefs and advanced, then under iTunes Media folder location, selecting the location of the old library on the external, to see if iTunes would then find all the music which is still there, but no workee.
    I'm out of ideas, and I searched the archives.
    Help! anyone?
    Scott

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode?

    Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

  • Systematic import of library when starting itunes 6.0.1.3

    well, I am using windows 2000.
    I have 7.5GB of music stored in itunes and for some reason itunes imports the library every time I launch the software; Every time I start itunes I get a message saying that "itunes library.itl" does not seem to be a valid file, and itunes then creates a file called "itunes library (damaged).itl"...
    I am not using podcasts, and everything was ok until I decided to move from 4.5GB to 7.5GB of music and 2212 songs.
    I uninstalled itunes 6.0.1.3 and re-installed it, but the problem is still there, so I assume it has something to do with the size of the 2 files used by itunes.
    "itunes music library.xml" is 3,096KB and "itunes library.itl" is 2,272KB.
    Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

    I've determined that iTunes has to be the topmost active window when importing, otherwise it will crash consistantly. And I though Microsoft was bad...
    iTunes for the Mac works fine though.

  • ITunes 7.5 wont start & iTunes 7.4 works just fine

    Hi,
    i dont know what to say, im just ******... I bought a new iPod nano, and at first i realized that i basicly cant upload music...***?.. I took some books i got, and realized that i need a program, called iTunes.., ok, whatever, so, i download iTunes 7.5-the last version, install it, without any problem, and leave the button where it says Start iTunes when this installation is complete, or something like that, so the installation completes, and i wait, and wait, and nothing happends... I go to my task manager-processes and realized that iTunes is workn, just fine, some ram but no cpu needs... SO ***?, so i check if there are any error logs created by itunes, but my search just wasted my time... So, what to do next, i decide to grab some older iTunes i guess, so i download iTunes 7.4.0, and wolla it works, although it says: Windows system components that iTunes requires are missing or corrupted, so i say, finally, an error so that i know what to do but i click continue and see there iTunes starts, so i plug my iPod, and it works, unbelievable, but, a huge error, ITS SLOW, SO SLOOOOOW, and i upload a movie and its syncing and syncing and syncing and syncing although the iPod doesnt sync!!!
    APPLE GET UR *** UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM, or ill just have to switch to Zune,... And i thought that BSD programmers are worth more... Dammit

    If you went through the Apple troubleshooting steps, you should know if the problem is user specific or system wide.
    I am guessing that it will be system wide if iTunes reports system components missing. May be that should be the starting point for investigations.
    Do you have the full error message with error numbers? Does everything else work normally on your system with good performance?
    In general if you have iTuens failing to launch but with iTunes.exe persisting on the processes tab in the task manager, I think of three initial possibilities, damaged configuration file, firewall blocking and misbehaving plugins. However in your case it may be this system problem iTunes is reporting.

  • How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?

    How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?
    I've created a 2nd iTunes library using the "press shift-key while opening iTunes from the start menu" method given in iTunes help. Now, when I try to start iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or from the system start menu, I get the new library--without choosing it.
    Otherwise, the new library works as I'd hoped. By turning off "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library," I'm able to use "Add Folder to Library" (where the folders are in the 1st iTunes library) without using more disk space for the 2nd library. So far, it works just fine for CDs and movies. I'm anticipating an iPad which can hold much less than my iPod Classic.
    I have the latest iTunes (10.2.1.1)

    A solution found!
    I found where Apple addresses the question. Actually, I had tried this before I found Apple's answer and before I asked the question here and I didn't get it to work. I finally have it working, but the Apple answer is missing a step--or so it seems.
    Locating Apple's answer:
    From the iTunes window,
    Help > More resources > iTunes Support Website > iTunes Library and Backup > iTunes Library >
    How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
    Apple quote:
    1.If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    2.If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    3.If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    4.You should see one of the following screens:
    End quote.
    As it says, you get a prompt to: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library.
    I created my new library by choosing "Create Library" and expected to be able to use "Choose Library" later. So, when I clicked "Choose Library," I got a new window that's titled "Open iTunes Library" (it looks a lot like a Windows Explorer window). I selected (on the sidebar) the old library, clicked "Open" and nothing happened. The problem is likely my inexperience with this type of issue, but, still, the solution seems hokey.
    After too much screwing around and a 24oz beer, this is what's working:
    1. If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    2. Hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes. (You don't have to have the shift key down until just before you click the last "iTunes.") Don't release the shift key 'til the prompt comes up.
    3. The prompt is: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library. Click "Choose Library."
    4. When the "Open iTunes Library" window comes up, click the desired iTunes library on the sidebar. (Mine are named "iTunes" and "iTunesIPad.")
    5. Then, you'll see a list of items in the right pane. Find the file named "iTunes Library.itl" and click it.
    6. Now, with both the iTunes library name selected on the sidebar and the "iTunes Library.itl" file selected in the right pane, click the "Open" button.
    7. iTunes will come up using the desired library.
    8. Using iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or the desktop will bring up the same iTunes library again, even if you shut down your computer.
    9. When you want to change the iTunes library in use, start at step 1.
    Nice about this, is that I would only have to get into the "iTunesIPad" library if I need to add something to it from my regular "iTunes" library or I want to sync to the iPad. Most of the time, I'll use my regular 185GB "iTunes" library (even here, I deselect many movies so that I can sync the library to my iPod).
    Caution:
    I must add the warning that I'm doing this because the iPad (that I don't have yet), won't hold even half of what I have in my iTunes library. At this point, the "iTunesIPad" library will take up very minimal disk space since it's using pointers to the regular library rather than copies from the regular library AND it's easy to switch between libraries only when needed. I can't say that this will all work until I try more setup work and I actually use it with an iPad. If someone knows that this is going to cause problems or if they have a better idea, I'd sure welcome comment. BTW, before trying this, I restructured my iTunes library (File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media.") to bring it up to date and then backed it up on an external drive. The website "iLounge" has an article about the old and new library structure.

  • I have an apple tv 3 but when i use Home Sharing from my Windows Laptop the Apple TV shows all my music on the TV but it will only play 1 or 2 songs and then stops!!! Annoying, so I have to re-start iTunes on my Laptop and it will play 1 or 2 more songs

    I have an apple tv 3 but when i use Home Sharing from my Windows Laptop the Apple TV shows all my music on the TV but it will only play 1 or 2 songs and then stops!!! Annoying, so I have to re-start iTunes on my Laptop and it will play 1 or 2 more songs then stops again!!! still annoying.
    Can anyone assist me with this issue?
    Thanks

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

  • How do I get rid of the spinning colour wheel when connecting my iphone or ipad to my mac and starting itunes?

    When I connect my iphone 4 or ipad 3 and start itunes, it freezes and the arrow turns to a spinning colour wheel.  Was jailbroken in the past but have updated to latest ios and itunes.  Used to be able to sync my devices on my mac, but now it just freezes.  I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  Still the same thing.
    Any suggestions?  Also noticed that the old apps on my iphone from the previous jailbreak are greyed out but I can not remove them by holding them and hitting the X once they are shaking.  Delete message comes up and you confirm, but they don't go away.
    Thanks for any suggestions as to what I can do.

    If the cloud is showing, then it is not on your phone. You can fix it where you cannot see these by going to Settings>Music>Show All Music, turn that off.

  • Creating a new library with 'Shift/Start iTunes' doesn't work

    I'm trying to start a new library, but pressing Shift when I start itunes doesn't work. It takes me to my existing library.
    I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, and completely deleted any other libraries.
    Any ideas how I can start a new library any other way?

    Thanks, that didn't work the first time but did work the second.
    Perhaps I wasn't holding the shift key long enough - you presumably must keep holding it until the 'choose library' dialog actually pops up. I was releasing it after I'd clicked the 'start itunes' button.

  • After starting iTunes 11, I get a blue screen error

    So after I updated my iTunes to v11, it started up and it was great! Then I rebooted my PC. After logging in, I started iTunes 11. Nothing happened for a few minutes. Then the screen became black for half a minute or so and then I get the blue screen error. Now this is happening all the time when I start iTunes 11 or if I connect my iPod Touch 4g for starting.
    Please help out!!! I want to open iTunes but knowing that I'll get a blue screen error, I can't. Please help!!! I can understand if you are getting the same problem.
    Thank You!!

    Not sure, but try these.
    Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

  • Strange error message when starting ITunes, ITunes doesn't recognise devices for wifi sync

    Google search has explained to me that this is related to Bonjour but nothing further. I have done the 'usual' - booted in safe mode, repaired permissions, updated software, reinstalled Mountain Lion via Disc Recovery, restarted my modem etc.
    Before I just wipe the hard drive and start again from scratch, maybe there's something obvious I'm not doing? Every other device in the house (2 x Iphones, 2 x Ipads, 1 Apple TV, 2 wifi radios and 1 other IMac desktop) have no problems with the wifi network.

    I am having similar issue.  Getting these same 24 error messages everytime I start iTunes. Sharing is already off.

    An unknown error occured (-42110) pops up when starting iTunes.  However, everything seems to be fine.  This message pops up on my account, my husband's, my son but not my daughter.  Very irritating.  I have iTunes installed on another laptop and this does not happen.  I already uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and still the message pops up.  How can I remove this message and what does it mean?  Thank you.

  • Message error when i start itunes

    Whenever I try and start itunes it says "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created. The default location for this folder is in the My Music folder." I've reinstalled it in the my music folder, where my iTunes folder is. Doesn't work. I've deleted the entire folder and reinstalled and it still doesn't work. I've gone back to itunes 6 and nothing is working for me. This is so frustrating.

    the best place to start with that message is with the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
