Sync Newly Installed iTunes 10.4 With Eisting Library

Hi All,
I have my library on my F Drive but my D drive died.
I have installed a new C drive and installed iTunes 10.4 onto it.
I have told iTunes in my preferences to look in the F:iTunes folder.
My iTunes 10.4 has no songs or playlists in it. How do I get it all to sync from the library into my iTunes 10.4.
All help appreciated!

Hi Casper...
10.6 ?
Exactly which version of Mac OS X do you have installed?
Click your Apple icon top left in your screen then click About This Mac.
If it's anything prior to v10.6.8, click your Apple menu icon again then click Software Update...
Updating your system software may help.

Go to ~/Library/QuickTime. Move the files in bold print to the Desktop.
Restart your Mac, try iTunes.

There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem. You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

My computer was reimaged and iTunes was deleted, now when I try to sync my ipad it says it is synced with another library? How do I sync with the newly installed iTunes without losing all of my data on my ipad?

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

HT5100 Sync iPod (Shuffle) with newly installed iTunes; songs deleted? :(

My music from my ipod (shuffle) is not on my ipod anymore after my newly installed itunes on my PC asked me to sync my ipod music, where did it go? My itunes library did not have any songs which is why I thought the songs wouldn't be replaced. I need help ...

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party progtam like one of those discussed here
Copy music
- WHen everything is on your computr connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

Synching iPhone with newly-installed iTunes

I plugged in my iPhone to newly-installed iTunes on a new laptop (to synch it) and a message popped up telling me iTunes would take my iPhone back to its factory settings and that I would lose my media etc. Will I get it back? And how?
Thanks

Howdy Paddy275,
I would recommend copying your library from the other computer to this one. This article will help with that:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
The content WILL be wiped when you sync the phone. But if you have the library that has all your media in it copied over and you can see it all in iTunes, then you will need to select what to sync back over. Use this to assist with that if needed.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
If you cannot copy the original library to your new computer, then you can always redownload your past purchases free of charge from the iTunes store.

latest message indicates I need Apple Application Update
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

HT1199 Unable to open my I-tunes music library on an old laptop which holds two Ipod music libraries. Advice given is to re-install I-Tunes. If this is done, will the newly installed I-Tunes overwrite the music library on my computer hard drive or not?

If this is done, will the newly installed I-Tunes overwrite the music library on my computer hard drive or will I still be able to access the music library via the new I-Tunes installation?

Reinstalling iTunes should leave your library alone.

HT1296 I Want to sync my iPod content to newly installed iTunes on same PC after reinstall of iTunes (but it tells me iPod is synced with another library)

After my PC crashed (MicroSoft blue screen of death), I had to re-format my hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, and ultimately re-install iTunes. I have over 7000 songs on my iPod and want to load them into iTunes, but iTunes tells me my iPod is synced with another library and wants to overwrite my data. How do I make this new version of iTunes accept all the info on my iPod into a new library? I have authorized this computer as one of 4 of my 5 allowed (note I have authorized this same machine 3 times due to Windows upgrades and iTunes reinstall...)

Syncing iPod to newly installed iTunes

will i lose all my songs if i try to sync my iPod to a newly installed version of iTunes? i uninstalled iTunes awhile ago and want to reinstall and sync my iPod but heard i may lose the songs. does anybody know if this is true? thanks in advance!

No uninstalling and re-installing iTunes should have no affect on the content that was stored in it. So after re-installing iTunes, your content is still appearing there, you can safely sync your iPod.
If not, you'll need to re-import all that content back into your library from your computer again.

ITouch no longer syncs after install iTunes 11.1.3.8/ iStore Authorization problem

I installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 last Monday on my daughter's computer.
While I was at work on Tuesday, my daughter connected her iTouch to the computer. My wife reported that all her music was missing and she was trying to put everything back. Subsequently, all the songs got deleted from my daughter's iPod Touch and now it appears unable to sync with the computer.
The songs are on the computer, but nothing on the iTouch.
When we try to sync, we get the following message on the computer's iTunes: "<daughter's> iPod could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize this computer."
We have tried reauthorizing, authorizing, de-authorizing, reauthorizing... all sorts of authorizing. No success.
Any help would be appreciated. No iPod => my daughter is unhappy (understatement).

Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
next try

Everytime I click on the download button a pop up come up on my conputer saying Internet Explorer has closed and says something about changeing setting in the data execution prevention in the advanced settings of the sytem properties. Can anyone help me. It runs a 32 bit operating system.

Hi...
Um, I wouldn't have a clue if it's a USB1 or 2. I may be computer literate... but the technicalities go whoosing over my head. How can I tell?
Yes, I do think I have probs with my iPod (sure didn't take 3 hours to charge before the folder with the ! with the support link comes up on the screen. But there is the problem that I can't download iTunes from the site without getting a *corrupt installation files. Find a fresh copy and download again.* Lost count of how many times I've done that. I even downloaded the standalone quicktime first.
Gah! I'm soooo frustrated.
Will try the iPod updater this morning and hope I successfully choose the 5th Gen iPod.
thanks heaps

When installing itunes on PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons.

When installing itunes of my PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons. How can I install it so it doesn't do that? Thanks!

You can force Vista to rebuild the desktop icons by changing your monitor's color depth momentarily. In the display properties, change to 16-bit color. Then change back to 32-bit.
