Upgrade to latest Itunes created havoc with my library!

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I upgraded to latest Itunes and about 800 of my songs lost their association from the computer to the library and the songs wouldn't play. With more investigation, many are purchases saved on the cloud or CDs I imported but they must be stored on the cloud because there are no files on my computer so I had to reload a ton of music. Also had to delete purchased songs from my library to allow me to re-download them, another time consuming activity that I didn't plan to spend my time on today. Wondering if others are also having this problem and how to communicate it to Apple so they are aware? Happy holidays.

Not quite surewhat your asking exactly. You look here for different ways on importing media from nano to your computer! https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2417169?start=0&tstart=0

Just upgraded to latest iTunes for Windows. Rebooted the PC as required. When I bring up iTunes I get a pop message saying "An unknown error occured (-42110)". What does that mean?

Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:

I upgraded to the latest iTunes 11.1.4, after a prompt from the iTunes store. But will not open after the upgrade. One of three error messages told me to reinstall. I did. Restarted and scanned. But no help there. So I unistalled and re installed from Apples' website. The installation was okay as usual but still will not open. Keep getting the same error messages.

I need to remove ALL trace of iPod & iTunes to upgrade to latest iTunes?

Attempting to upgrade to the latest iTunes, from the one I've been running that I hadn't upgraded for some years.
The message comes back that an auto update isn't possible and that I must remove the old version in it's entirety prior to trying again.
So I followed the instructions on the website here and have removed everything from my c/programs directory.
However there is still an iPod for Windows 2005, an iPod software updater and iTunes itself showing in the Add/Remove programs area of the Control Panel, and when I try to remove these nothing happens. These entries don't even have any info associated with them in terms of file size, but I can't get rid of them.
I have also removed Quicktime.
At my wits end, it seems this stuff is embedded in my PC somewhere and now I have no iTunes and can't download the latest version.
Please help if you have any input, it would really be appreciated.
Thanks, DJ.

This depends on how you have the ipod set to update. You can change the way it updates by going to edit>preferences>iPOd tab
By default the ipod is set to "Auto update ALL". If you goto the ipod tab and check "Only update checked songs" Only songs with a check mark beside them will be updated to the iPod. If you uncheck a song, the next time you update the ipod the song is removed.
You can also goto the iPod tab and set it to "AUto update SELECT" with this option only songs in the playlist you pick are updated. this is very helpful for people with a nano or a library thats larger than there ipod can hold.
"Manual update" is where you manually add songs and delete them off the ipod. This option is usually helpful to people who want to control everything on there ipod or frequently connect there ipod to more than one PC.
You can also go there the sub tabs on the iPod tab and set each to different things, Like leave the ipod to "Auto update ALL" but goto the podcast tab and set it to manual update or the video tab...just whatever you want or need to do

The latest iTunes is 11.1. For some people, iTunes is incorrectly reporting 11.0.5 is the latest. Download 11.1 at http://apple.com/itunes/download/.

Upgraded to latest iTunes & lost my library

Since upgrading to the latest iTunes, it has lost all my library settings.
All songs are still on disk, and other users on the same XP SP3 machine have not experienced this problem.
- When I log into XP as my user, then bring up iTunes, the entire music and apps list is now blank. The music lists are still there however (but also blank).
- When my kids log into the same XP as their user, their iTunes are up to date
I need all my ratings and play counts back (years worth of work). Getting the songs in is easy and not the problem.
What's the fix?

I had not, but thank you very much, that worked (yes, it took me this long to get to it, )
I never would have thought to google for the terms in the link you provided and my searches were not bearing fruit. Since it had been a while, I had to google for it again to find this thread, and only got here when I added my username and the site.
I upgraded to version 10, the latest, per instructions, and it seems happy.
Looks like a reasonably common issue as I've pointed several coworkers at this thread.
Thanks again!

Upgraded to latest Itunes - won't recognize songs in my external drive?

I recently upgraded to the latest Itunes. I store all my music on an external hard drive. Now I can't seem to get the Itunes library to pull songs from the hard drive - getting the message "The song __ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I didn't have this problem before. I tried importing the songs from the hard drive but now my library has doubled and I'm still having problems launching music. Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance.

No, my problem is when I open iTunes, none of my tunes are there because the new iTunes 8.1 looks into my hard drive iTunes for the library and it's blank. when I use preferences/advanced and choose "change" and attempt to select the library from my external drive, it's greyed out . . . not accessible.

After latest update itunes match crashed with empy library

After being a little late i finally updated itunes to the latest version (on windows 8.1), now itunes keeps crashing when it connects to itunes match (from an empty library all music is in cloud)
Tried a lot of solutions here like:
hold shift and create new library
delete all itunes related files and re install
disable firewall and anti virus
I cant look for corrupted files, since there arent any songs on this laptop.
Anyone has any idea what solution i might be missing? Problem starts seconds after syncing an empy library to itunes match

Upgraded to latest iTunes & now cant buy albums!

I can purchase single tracks but cant buy albums. I forces me to billing info saying 'account has changed' go in there, update switch card with CCV numbers click OK but no download starts. So select buy again and the billing screen comes up again.
Annoying or what, cash ready, 2 albums to buy, DOESN'T WORK.

This ties into another post about the 'authorisation loop' looks like MANY people are getting this after update to latest Itunes.
I guess Apple will loose sales, as people get fed up with the constant loop and will give up....like me.

One website creates havoc with my iMac - what can be done?

I am an administrator for our church website. When I go on it to work, after about 10 minutes either Safari or Firefox, whichever I'm using, freezes completely. I have to force quit and restart about every 10 minutes. In fact it isn't only that it freezes, the website plays havoc with my computer. I took two days to dump preferences, use disk utility, get mail back on line and it was working perfectly. Last night I went on the website, and instantly, the computer froze and I lost not only what I'd just posted but an entire page of other information!
I've done enough testing now to know this only happens on that website. First of all, is this even possible that a website can do such damage? I'm on websites all day and have never had anything like this. I post on chatboards with no difficulty; no problem with Facebook. If it is possible, then is there something I can do to fix this? I love working on the website but I can't continue this way. I wondered if this is a frequent enough problem that someone might know a setting or some other adjustment that needs to be made to my Mac to make it work.
I don't know if this is related to 10.6 or not because I have only done the website since I installed Snow Leopard. I have written the company who owns the site to see if they know of anything, but this is really mystifying. It is stunning what 5 minutes on the website will do to my computer! It is almost completely inoperable until I dump some preferences and do other things.
Thanks for any insight you might have.

One other thing I've noticed is that the problem worsens over time. When I first go on, it is okay...then in 10 minutes it is starting to act very strangely, and at 15 minutes, the whole thing is frozen. Then I dump the Safari preference files and restart and it works wonderfully....for 10 minutes.
Then the fireworks start. Today, weird pages were flashing up that I've never seen before....like the introductory page to Safari..."Welcome to Safari 4.1" I've never seen that page in my life. It's more than just freezing, it goes crazy. Because it starts to work again when I dump the prefs, It seems like something is corrupting them. To have to dump them every 15 minutes is really strange.

Latest iTunes update problems with repeated error messages every 65 seconds??

After this mornings' update of iTunes. Problems with Applemobiledeviceservices.exe. Error message every 65 seconds - software exception (oxc06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812fd3.
How do I stop this?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. 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 get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

ITunes starts up with empty library - library confirmed alright

G'day all.
I've got a dual boot Leopard/Windows XP setup on my Mac, and both iTunes' read from the same library on my Mac HD, with the Windows partition utilising MacDrive to see the files. This has worked fine for about 2 years now, but just recently my Windows iTunes has started up with no files. Shift-ing at startup and reselecting the library does nothing to fix it.
The interesting part: booting into OS X and openeing iTunes shows that all the files are there! Any thoughts on why this has suddenly started to happen?
Regards,
Will T
P.S. The iTunes versions are the same on both partitions: 10.1

i was just pointing you in the right direction
thanks for the star and ... happy computing !

Upgrading to latest itunes and ipod software kills ipod

Today my son has upgraded his itunes (on XP laptop) and ipod software to the latest versions. He has a 120 GB iPod classic and we've all been using ipods/itunes for many years. Since installing the updates he has been unable to synch his ipod. When we plug the ipod into the laptop it comes back with the error message "The ipod 'name' cannot be synched. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I have then tried to follow all of the trouble-shooting advice on the Apple website including the 5 Rs. The first 4 didn't fix the problem and when I got to no 5 (RESTORE) this wouldn't work either. The restore software downloaded from the site but after looking like it was going to proceed, iTunes returned another error message "<sons name> iPod cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application". I checked that it wasn't trying to synch at the same time as restoring and could see no obvious reason why the restore wouldn't work. I am now at a complete loss as to what to do next. Can anyone help? I am surprised that there is nowhere on the Apple support site where you can find a list of all error messages and what you should do in response. Well not one that I could find anyway! Hope someone out there can shed some light.

Try putting the iPod in disk mode before connecting it.
1. Reset the iPod by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously until it reboots.
2. Press and hold the Select and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously for several seconds until the display changes. I believe it will say something like "Okay to disconnect." Then connect the iPod to your computer.
