Unable to listen to itunes on my computer after using AppleTV

Since using homesharing today and listening to itunes on the AppleTV I have not been able to listen to music on my computer. Every time is selct a song to play it says "connecting to AppleTV" and no sounds comes out my computer.
I turned off homesharing on the AppleTV.
I turned off homesharing on the computer.
I put the AppleTV into 'sleep mode'.
I rebooted my computer.
NOTHING HAS WORKED. How has AppleTV taken over control of my system and not letting go?
My media, on my hard drive, my iTunes, my speakers and stil connot play anything. What's up?

Check the iTunes window pane lower right for the Airplay speaker button - you may have selected AppleTv as the output speaker rather than Computer - this works independently of Home Sharing.

I do not understand what you are saying

I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

My answer in the older thread is still valid
Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
Please open Terminal and issue the following command
ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
you should get a line similar to this
drwxrwxrwx 13 yourusername staff hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
Numbers, date and time may differ.
If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

Unable to listen to iTunes

Recently computer changed drive letter assignments on external harddrive where iTunes and music is located. Now I am unable to listen to any music in iTunes. I changed the location in preferences and advanced settings under folder location. Still no help. So I tried to reinstall iTunes and it asks for folder destination. The last previous location was K:, now it is L:(don't know why it changed, no new hardware). It will not let me change folder destination to L: in setup . It states unable to find k: and then it goes to finish. Hopefully someone can help Thanks in advance!

If both your library datbase files and you music were on the external drive, you may be able to get round this by starting iTunes with the shift key held down. You should be invited to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on your extrenal drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
Note this only works if iTunes Library.itl was on the extrenal drive.

TS3212 Unable to download new update for iTunes on my computer after installing OS6 on iPhone

I have had no problems in the past being able to download updates until now.
I updated my iPhone 3GS to OS6 with no problems and now I cannot get my iTunes on my computer to download a new update from 10.5 to 10.7 and it now rejects my phone when syncing, saying that it needs to have an update to 10.6.3 or higher. Is there anyway to get the update function back to working on my current iTunes without having to reinstall? If I must reinstall my iTunes, will it still keep all my data from before like an update or do I lose everything and have to start from scratch or will the installer keep the old config that is currently installed?
Things I have tried:
Restarting the computer---same results
I opened the software update application inside the software folder--opens the update window but has no updates listed in it...then tried to update again while having it open--still nothing.
Only thing I can think of at this point is to reinstall.
Just hoping for any help in order to avoid having to do this.
(Using Windows7 64-bit on my computer)
Any helpfull answers would be highly appreciated.

I bit the bullet and downloaded a fresh install download from apple.com since the updater would no longer work.
Still a mystery as to why the updater was no longer working.
Kept the original installed iTunes where it was and sent the new install to its same folder location.
First couple of attempts failed to download but I persisted and the third attempt it downloaded.
After the download, I went into the iTunes folder, clicked on the setup icon and the install was made complete.
Fortunately as diesel pointed out, all of my settings and media remained intact.
Thanks to diesel vdub for providing a little assurance, and now all is back to normal and up to date once again.

How can I find out which iTunes library my computer is using?

I have a desktop Mac Mini at home that my wife uses and a MacBook Pro that I use at home and in the office. I wanted to be able to access all the music we have on both machines from both machines, even when I am out and about and have no network connection for my MacBook Pro. So, I uploaded all the music we had on iTunes to Dropbox, and this now syncs on both computers. So, whenever either of us adds music to iTunes, the songs are saved on both machines within the Music folder in Dropbox, which syncs in real time across both computers. So far so good.
However, what I am finding is that, when either of us adds new music to our respective iTunes, it only shows on the computer on which it's been added. So, within a matter of weeks, our computers no longer show the same music in our respective iTunes windows, even though the music is present on both machines in the synchronised Dropbox folder.
I realised that the computers must start using different iTunes library to each other when new songs are added to either machine. So, I figured that, when we add music to one of the computers, if I pointed iTunes on the computer that has the less up-to-date music to the latest library that is being used by the computer with the more up-to-date music, this would ensure that both machines showed the same music in their repective iTunes windows. The problem is that I cannot work out which iTunes library is being used by the computer with the more up-to-date music on it. I know how to choose a different library when I open iTunes (hold down alt) but that doesn't help, because I all I want to do is to FIND OUT WHICH LIBRARY IS BEING USED BY ITUNES ON THE COMPUTER WITH THE MORE UP-TO-DATE MUSIC. I simply can't find a way of getting iTunes to show me which library it is using, although this must be the simplest thing in the world. An additional issue is that I want to playlists we have created to appear on both machines - will that be the case if I point the less up-to-date iTunes (on my wife's Mac Mini) to the library of the more up-to-date iTunes (on my MacBook Pro), since my computer with the more up-to-date iTunes shows all the playlists, whereas my wife's doesn't?
So, can anyone help? Plus if anyone knows of any software that can automatically ensure that two different Macs both use the same and most up-to-date iTunes library and therefore always show the lastest music collection, whichever machine the music has been added to, that would be fantastic. Thanks.

You could have all the computers point to the same library but it can't be opened by more than one at any time.
No answer for knowing which library is in use other than selecting it at startup. This question gets asked here occasionally but I don't think it is a high-demand feature since most people have just one library. I guess you could put in an empty playlist with the library name so you have an identifier.

Unable to listen to iTunes purchased music after swaping shell.

My Dell D600 computer broke down. No big surprise coming from that model. I had the shell swapped and kept the same hard drive, but can no longer listen to the songs I purchased from iTunes. This even includes new downloads since the swap. All of the music I uploaded from CDs works just fine.
I receive the following to error messages:
1. This computer is not authorized to play "Song Name". Would you like to authorize it? (I enter my password and click "Authorize">)
iTunes accesses Music Store
2. Then I receive "We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (-208).
This has happened every time since I have swapped my shell. Each time I have been online (I even downloaded new music one time from iTunes) and have tried from multiple locations - office, wireless, home. I cannot listen to any iTunes purchased music. Any ideas other than going to Best Buy for CDs??? Thanks!

Spyder 282:
If you are running a version of iTunes older than iTunes 6.0.4, the first thing to do is update to 6.0.4. Choose About iTunes from the Help menu in iTunes. If you are already at 6.0.4, or if updating does not help, the next thing to try is to deauthorize your computer for the iTMS account using the Deauthorize Computer option in the Help menu. Then play of the iTMS songs and re-enter your authorization info.

Iphone 4s unable to sync to itunes on windows computer

When I try to sync my iphone 4s to itunes on my windows 7 computer, it pops up with an error message saying " itunes cannot read the contents of iphone, go to summary tab and restore to factory settings", I have the most up to date version of itunes and up to date iphone software, any ideas??

It is not iTunes software. It is your computer, or the way your USB is configured or connected. iTunes is intermittently losing the USB connection. Your analysis that it is not the devices is reasonable, so look to the common components. Possible causes:
You have a bad cable
You are using a USB hub, not connecting directly to a USB port on the the computer. If the hub has its own power source it is probably OK, but if not this would definitely cause the symptom you see.
If your computer is not a laptop you are using a port on the front rather than the back of the computer (front ports are usually an internal, unpowered hub).
You have USB devices connected that use either a lot of power or have high data transfer rates (such as USB external drives). Try disconnecting all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
When you uninstalled iTunes to try to resolve the issue you did not use Apple's detailed procedure, and thus did not remove the drivers (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925)
You have the wrong version of iTunes (e.g., 32 vs 64 bit)

I am unable to completely uninstall iTunes from my computer

i have deleted most of the files for it but it wont let me delete the program called "iTunesMiniPlayer.dll"

Hmmm. If it's throwing that message on just one file in the iTunes folder in your program files, that suggests the file may be damaged (fooling the computer into thinking it might be in use or write-protected).
The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you do the deletion now?

IPod not showing up in iTunes or My Computer, but used to.

This is stumping me. I got a blue iPod nano for Christmas from my mom, and the first three times I plugged it in to sync it, it would immediately show up and sync. But, I tried to sync it this week and nothing happened. It didn't show up in iTunes, My Computer, or removable devices. I tried EVERYTHING. I restarted my computer, all 5 "R"s, charging my iPod, safely removing hardware, and NOTHING works. I have a bunch of new songs I want to put on it, but I can't get my computer to recognize it. HELP!

Well my cousin locked me out of my ipad 3 and it said to connect to iTunes, I did and it Said to restore so I did and now I can't find my music on my ipad or on iTunes and the computer I used to restore I had use in recovery mode can I get my music back?

How do I get it back if I can?

DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Plug the iPhone into the computer.
Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

My ipod no longer shows up on itunes or my computer after i recently installed an update on my ipod?

All it says on my ipod is it connected and disappears right away.

So you can't get your iPod to stay connected to your PC and iTunes is that correct? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port? Have you double checked to make sure the connections on each of the cable are snug? What happens if you try a different USB port or sync cable?
