Updated to itunes 7 and music library appears empty

Upgraded from itunes 6 to 7. Open itunes and nothing displays from the Music Library. I changed the Prefs/Advanced/General itunes music folder to point to where my music folder is but it still doesn't display anything in that folder. When I used itunes 6 I created a music folder in My Document/My iTunes/My Music. All my music is still there but itunes 7 won't display it. How do I fix this?

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

  • Moving iTunes and music library from one computer to another

    I need to move my iTunes and music library with purchased music, playlists, ratings, and legally downloaded music to another computer. How do I do that?

    Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

  • Transfering iTunes and music library to another computer

    Hello,
    I just got a new computer and I want to transfer my iTunes and music library to it. I would normally just transfer the files to the new computer, install iTunes, and rebuild my library, but there are two things: 1) I don't want to lose my playlists and 2) I have purchased music from the iTunes Music Store and I'm not sure it will play if I do it like that.
    I have a feeling it has to do with deauthorizing the old computer.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome, Fred, to the Apple Discussions!
    Here's a post on transferring your Music Library from one computer to another:

    You will definitely have to authorize your new computer. And if you won't be using the old one to play purchased songs any more, you should de-authorize it. Have a look at:

  • When i launch itunes my music library appears and then disappears

    Please help solve this problem. After installing the latest version of iTunes, when I launch iTunes the music in my library pops up and after a second disappears. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and still have the same problem.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • IPod, ITunes and Music Library

    I am sure this question has been asked and answered a thousand times but I can't find the question or the answer here so here goes my shot:
    For reasons I won't bore you with I had to create a new user account on my wife's machine. I did it by just using her first name instead of her first and last names. How do I deauthorize her iPod for the old user account and set it up for the new user account without losing any of the music that is in her old ITunes music library and on her iPod?

    Use the instructions in this article to share the iTunes library between the accounts, or here to transfer music from multiple iTunes libraries to an iPod other than the iPod shuffle.

  • I have a MS IBM laptop w/iTunes and music library.   I loaded 3300 songs onto

    Again,  I loaded 3000+ songs onto my new nano 8 months ago.  I now want to add more songs to the nano,  got them onto mt iTunes library,  but cannot remembers how to add the 'recently added' songs to the nano!,,,,,,, I feel so stupid.  Help!

    If they are all iTunes purchases, just redownload them from iTunes to your new computer.  However, even though you will then have two identical libraries, they are not the same library, and an iOS device can only be associated to a single iTunes library at a time.

  • Just opened iTunes, and my library is gone! I have some questions..

    I just got home and opened iTunes, and my library was empty. I had alot of music and playlists and stuff, everythings gone.
    I connected my iPod to the computer and erased everything off my iPod, then added all the music back to my library from various folders on my computer (what a headache).. It was really annoying and took alot of time.
    Why did this happen? I've never had any problems before. How can I prevent it from happening again? And if it does happen again, is there anyway I can get my playlists and ratings back? I know I can copy my entire library from my iPods hard drive, but I don't want to do that because I already have the music on my computer and it would just waste space.
    Thanks!

    You'll be able to download previous iTunes Store purchases in iTunes.

  • Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

  • Itunes library appears empty

    I have about 5GB of music but all of a sudden my itunes library appears empty... I am pretty sure the music is still in my computer but I can't access it.
      Windows XP  

    do you know where on your machine the files are at (start in "my computer", then into your hard drive, and so on)??? If you do then make sure that the directory that itunes has for your music is the same as where they are actually at. If you can't find them do a search for "all files and folders" using an audio extension such as .mp3 or .aac and see if you can locate where they are at.

  • I just purchased new computer and my music library is empty

    i recently purchase new computer..downloaded itunes but my music library is empty?  can you please help me restore my music.
    thank you

    Your media is only where YOU put it.  Installing iTunes and signing into your account has never made media magically appear on a computer.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.
    For instructions, type "move itunes library" into the search bar at the top or your favorite search engine.
