TS2972 AppleTV cannot access library

After following the Apple Support kbase article, I still cannot see my music on my AppleTV. I have upgraded to Lion on my iMac, moved my music to my internal hard drive, reset the Airport Extreme and restarted my AppleTV. My Firewall is off, my iTunes software is updated and restarted. Nothing changes. My AppleTV cannot access my iTunes library.

No, I am just getting a blank itunes library,
Is your PC a Sony Vaio by any chance?
If so, I'd check on the following document:
[iTunes creates an empty library file in Windows|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2715]

When I tried to log into to itunes today, I got a message that states "cannot access library because it was saved in a newer version." I cannot figure out how to access itunes or restore it.

I tried opening itunes today and got the message that I cannot access itunes because it was saved in a newer version.I have been using itunes for 10 years and never gotten this. I cannot restore an earlier version...any suggestions?

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Cannot access library folder

I saved a file accidently in my outlook temporary file. I cannot access my library file, get:
The folder “Library” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.

I didn't know that iTunes had a 64bit download. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with 64bit operation system. I downloaded the iTunes for 64bit and it seems to have corrected the problem. I haven't received the message yet since I did this.

IMovie cannot access library without location services - Why?

So this is the error message I get when trying to use iMovie for iPhone - "iMovie cannot access your photos or videos" "To enable access, open the settings app, tap General, then tap Location Services and then set the iMovie switch to 'On'." (pic - http://twitpic.com/2269ze ).The question is "Why?" What if I don't want my videos to include geo location data? Why does iMovie need location services to start a project? It doest make any sense to me. I understand that some of the themes may have features for using location data, but shouldn't that be at the users discretion?

I find this rather odd as well. I keep location services turned off for the camera so why iMovie would need to access data that isn't there is beyond me. I think it's just poor programing on Apple's part. It would be just as easy to ignore any location data if you have that turned off and you happen to pick a picture or video that has it embedded.

ITunes app ONLY opens to Store, cannot access library

When I click on the iTunes application, it opens ONLY to the iTunes Store. For some reason, I cannot find the Library. Can anyone help??

Thanks- I bought a refurb that didnt come with a manual. Maybe I am missing something, but the manual suggests that the option for playlists/ songs/ artists automatically comes up.
The only way I can access my songs is by flicking left and searching for the name of the song/ artist, etc. There has to be an easier way. Am I missing something???
BTW thanks for the quick repsonse

New computer, cannot access library

I am sure I cannot be the only one in this situation...however Apple did a nice job letting everyone know how to transfer your library from one computer to another IF you have access to your old computer. Well, my PC crashed. Does NOT work...period. Purchased a new PC and whenever I plug my iPod in I am told it is synced to another library.
What can I do. I absolutely cannot...well...do not want to erase everything and start fresh with my hundreds of songs and podcasts.

Here's a post by forum regular Zevoneer that will help you

Remote: cannot access Library if another user is logged in

hi all
Remote works fine for me, no firewall issues, a great solution! But if someone goes to the computer and switches users, then I cannot connect to the Library. Is it only me? Any ideas for a workaround? My daugther uses the other Mac and it means I still have to go to the iMac and switch users back to mine before I can control the music. Defeats the purpose somewhat...

If its a fresh installation, RDM might not work at first.
1. You need to check firewall and allow Remote Desktop. To be specific, communication to port 3389 TCP
2. Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab
Enable Remote Desktop
Allow connections to this computer
Click users and grant the permissions for the users. By default, Administrators do have the permission. An also, the users who are members of the 'Remote Desktop Users' security group also have the permission

Install new version itunes now i cannot access library

i installed a new version of itunes,now when i click itunes icon on desk top all i get,itunes cannot open folder as new version installed.i have tried to restore to older version with out success,can anyone help me please?

Thank you so much, but I have done that and under "music" there is not a traditional song view. That is exactly where I imagined it "should" be...but under music there is only a box with a couple playlists in it and they appear "light gray" and cannot be clicked on.

Third try at this. hard drive went down. used carbonite to install library and i installed itunes. itunes cannot access library.

this is the most unwieldy system for posting that I've ever seen. this was my 4th attempt.

What errors, if any, are you seeing?
Also, in the backup solution with Carbonite, have you been archiving the complete iTunes library, including the database (iTunes Library.itl) and associated files, as well as your media files and folders?
If you've restored your library to a location other than iTunes' default (C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) then you can point iTunes to the right place by holding down Shift while you start iTunes - when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to the location of your iTunes folder, select the iTunes Library.itl that you should find there, and click Open.

Cannot access library book on overdrivei

I tap overdrive and just get the blackberry symbol and not mylibrary book -- what can I do?

I've used it although have had similar problems as it's an Android port.
Try to run it - give it a minute to get going and it it still doesn't load, restart the PlayBook and try again.
It does work eventually

HT1386 I synced my Macbook with Iphone4s, but cannot access music when I launch itunes on iphone. I don't even see my library on iphone. The usage option in settings shows that there is music copied on iPhone. I just can't access it. Could anyphone please

I am a new iTunes user. I have synced my iphone 4s to macbook using iTunes, but I cannot access music in iPhone. I cannot access library when I launch iTunes on my iPhone. When I go to settings->usage->music, I see that there is enough music in the phone to suggest that music has been synced with iTunes. I just don't know how to access it. Could someone pleas help?

If you want to drag and drop then you would have to select Manually Manage Music.
Otherwise, just sync your music.

TS2972 I have done the reset, restart, close and open of all the recommendations...still apple tv cannot access iTunes library...did fine for over a year then pooff, nothing....help

Has Apple done something to force us to use iTunes share? Sure would hate to find out they did tat to us....

AppleTVs cannot connect to my iTunes library

This is baffling. Until a few days ago I had two Apple TVs getting content from the iTunes library on my Mac.
Now, whatever I do, the Apple TVs say 'Could not connect to Library' when I try and view my iTunes library.
This is happening on both Apple TVs. BUT it's not happening on my iPad on iPhone. I can still connect to my iTunes library stored on my MBP from each of those.
I can still Airplay to either ATV too - no problem there.
Everything is on the same network. I've signed out of Home Sharing on everything (MBP and ATVs). I've checked that iTunes is pointing at the correct location for my library (which it must be anyway because I can access it from the iPad and iPhone) and yet I simply cannot make either Apple TV connect.

Thanks Rudegear - close but no cigar.
I followed the instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2709
Now: I can see my iTunes library via AppleTV, and access it via the remote control.
Now: I can use the Remote App on my iPad to access my iTunes library, and control the library on my PC but not on AppleTV
Still, when playing a song on iTunes - either directly on the PC or via the iPad, when I select the AppleTV speakers - nothing. When I select 'multiple' speakers I don't get anything through the AppleTV speakers.
The AppleTV is connected to a Denon AVR (if this matters).
Thanks again - open to other pointers.

HT1926 I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but now seem to have lost everything and can not access my library at all. Instead i keep on receiving the message 'Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I cannot access

I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but failed half way through. It suggested that i reinstall we I tried. However, i now get this message which states "Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem"
I have tried this but with no success. I have therefore found that I cannot access my iTunes library at all now.
What should I do.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple. Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"

Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple. Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page. It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following: "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I click locate but do not know where to go from there? I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it. I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer. What to do??? Any help is much appreciated!!!

See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.
