I had this same problem this morning and I was literally in tears!!!
I clicked 'file' and 'add folder to library' and selected the 'my music' folder - it restored everything including apps, recent downloads from tesco and amazon and CDs that I have recently added but not yet backed up.. I am now really wary though!!

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

You are in that awful authorization loop.
Here are some steps to try.
1. Deauthorize, then reauthorize your PC - it might be using multiple authorizations and this article shows you how to fix that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
And make sure you authorize for all iTS accounts, even that old one from 3 years ago you may have forgotten about.
2. Delete the SC Info folder. The entire folder, not just the file. It will get rebuilt the next time you start iTunes. Don't forget to restart your PC, as the article says.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
3. Get a free single of the week, which has the latest DRM on it, and play a few seconds of it. Sometimes the latest song of the week fixes everything.
And if that doesn't work, contact iTS support from this page - use the Contact Us button.
They will tell you to do the same things; reply back to their canned response.

Upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod

I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod. The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" but the device is not listed in iTunes so it will not sync.

Hey, we are having exactly the same problem! My old ipod died a slow death so I bought a new nano 16gb 4th gen and I can't use it as itunes isn't recognising any ipod being plugged into it. I've been through the whole support database and every USB port is working on the laptop, so I know the computer is recognising its there its just itunes itself - even removed and downloaded it again but no change! If anybody has any ideas what is going on please let me know!!!!

TS1363 Just upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4.62 now my device (iPhone5) won't sync but shows up under Windows Explorer.

Just upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4.62 now my device (iPhone5) won't sync but shows up under Windows Explorer. When I plug the phone in it asks if I want to trust the computer. I say yes but it hasn't asked me that since the very first time I received the phone.

This resolved my issue.
Thank you for the suggestion. This worked for me. No more trust this computer messages and itunes now recognizes my ios7 iphone.
Reinstalling the usb driver in win7 by going to device mgr/ portable devices and then directing the computer to search the apple folder ...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. did the trick.

HELP! Clicked format...now everything is gone!!!

I connected my blackberry curve 9360 device to the computer to get the new 7.1 software for blackberry. First I got app error 200 on my phone screen, then when that got fixed, my phone was completely wiped. It then said my media card has errors on it and repairing has failed, so I went to settings and accidentally clicked format media card. Now everything is GONE, but the phone and apps like whatsapp are still working...
Does anyone know how I can get all of my data back that was on my media card before I formatted it?

Hey Eclipse96,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you have a full backup of your data including the media card saved on the computer? If not, then the data can not be retreived.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image. When I try to import the folders manually something pops up that says it is incompatable. It is possible to retrieve everything that was lost?

"When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
Brownale6 how can u reload folder in to FCP.
As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
For Event
external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.
For project
external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

I just upgraded to iTunes 10.6.1 and now my library is not loaded, how do I get it back?

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.1 overnight and when I start it now
there is no media loaded, no songs, no films and no TV Shows.
I have tried starting using the shift key to point iTunes back to my library location,
but still no luck.
Has anyone got any ideas??

So, I have managed to fix the problem.
I found that the upgrade had replaced my library files with empty ones.
So I restored the backup I made of them before the upgrade and
now all my media is back.
Great..
For those who run across this therad and haven't taken the effort to make a backup here is another approach that should work.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Upgraded to Itunes 11.0.4.4x64 now I get error -42404

I upgraded to iTunes 11.0.4.4 and now I receive error -42404 (A required iTunes component is not installed). I’ve removed and reinstalled iTunes several times and get the same result. I’ve also tried using the install to repair the program and still get the same result.
After the install, there is not menu item, but there is a desktop icon. How can I either fix this or downgrade to the previous version????
Thank you

Hi OpryFan,
Here is an article of troubleshooting steps for iTunes installation issues, including instructions for thoroughly and completely removing iTunes prior to the installation attempt:

Upgraded to iTunes 11.0.3 and now cannot access music.

I upgraded ti iTunes 11.0.31 on my iMac [OS 10.7.5] and now I am unable to access my itunes library. NOT HAPPY. I have over the years accumulated over 1000 albums that I now seem to have lost. Has anyone got an answer? Clearly Apple doesn't give a whatever.

Thank you very much for your reply. I did find 2 previous iTune libraries but they seem to be empty.
Your advice on back up is gratefully noted ... I always assumed Time Machine would do the job.
I guess like many people I've spoken to it's time to move away from Apple ...a declinig market may be the only thing which will make them realise they need to be more responsive to and respectaful of the millions of individuals who have been their loyal customers for many years.
My business has started moving to Windows and we have been surprised how good it is and products like Office 360 are fabulous in the business environment. We have heaps of iMacs ready for the scrap heap!
I am now looking for an alternative to iTunes. Not an easy feat but clearly there is a huge market opportunity out there for someone to produce a decent product. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Upgraded Iphone now everything is gone

I upgraded from an Iphone 4 to a Iphone 5c. When i got it in the mail i plugged it in and followed all the instructions now all my contacts, settings, everything is gone. The apps are still there but i have to reinstall all of them.

Yeah i think so it would automatically update when i plug it into my computer.
I am guessing "it" means the iPhone 4. No, it does not automatically update iOS. You would have to click "Check for Updates" on the iPhone's summary page to have done that.
Since you did what xice recommended above and did not find a backup of the iPhone 4 in iTunes, the only other slight possibility is that you had set up iCloud backups and did one there. You can check that on your iPhone 4 in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup ... if you ever did set up an iCloud account. I suspect it's more likely that you would win a lottery than have an iCloud backup, but that is your last hope of retrieving iPhone 4 data.

I upgraded my iTunes for Windows and all my songs are gone.

When I upgraded my ITunes for Windows, all of my songs disappeared. How do I get them back?

Downloaded Itunes 8.0 and now everything is gone

I downloaded the new 8.0 and when I went to listen to a song everything was gone. All of my songs, tv shows, games, etc... were gone. How do I get it back?

See if the steps in this article provide any relief:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
If you're still missing your songs, see if you can restore from a backup if you have one. If you don't have a backup, you might be able to recover the items from an iPod or iPhone if you have one.
- See this document for recovering purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
- See this post for software to recover non-iTunes store purchases: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8209921&#8209921
If you never created a backup of your items, and you don't have them on an iPod or iPhone, you can email iTunes Store customer service and ask to download the items again. Bear in mind that the iTunes user agreement entitles you to one download per purchase, so, for future reference, it's your responsibility to backup your purchases, as they do have value.

I synced my phone now everything is gone

help! i synced my iphone now everything EVERYTHING is gone! is there a way to retrieve all my contacts photos and apps?

All of those things should be on your computer. You can just sync them back.
Contacts and Camera Roll photos (taken with iphone) are included in the backup that itunes performs when syncing.
You may be able to restore from a prior backup and get some of the info back.
Unlike music, you can redownload apps for free.

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing. How do I get it back?

If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.
