Upgrading to 8.1 iTunes

I upgraded my itunes and as previous poster, now have no library to access and purchased music gone.
Is this a proprietary scam or what.
Just going to quit itunes, always so difficult to work with.
Windows Media Player, much easier to work with everything and has larger file adjustments for better sound quality.
Done with Apples!

If you have a Sony Vaio many users have found it comes with preloaded software that conflicts with iTunes and causes the empty library problem. See:

  • I've just bought an new laptop and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now I have no music or apps on my phone. The contacts photos and texts all seem fine. Just the itues stuff that's missing.

    I have just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now have no music or apps on the phone. Contacts, texts, photos all fine. Just all itunes content that is missiing. It isn't showing in my itunes account on my computer or on my phone. Any idea how to get it back? (No point synching with itunes on my computer as it isn't there either!)

    I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
    If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one.

  • After upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow not displaying song playing. Why not?

    Since upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow is not displaying the currently playing song. It will simply display the first cover in the playlist. Also, the screen saver starts during playback, unlike Snow Leopard. Any ideas on how to fix? I have already repaired disk and permissions but problem persists.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
    I tried restarting my mac and my iphone a bunch of times, reinstalling iTunes after deleting dozens of files, and it didn't help at all.
    I re-installed X-Code (had to use Activity Monitor to kill iTunes Helper in the middle of the install) and then my iPhone synced again!

  • Can I upgrade iCloud storage using iTunes cards for payment?

    I have chosen not to use my credit card in conjunction with my AppleID, so I purchase all of my apps and media using iTunes cards.  Can I pay for upgraded iCloud storage using iTunes credits?  I would prefer to pay one year at a time using those credits, but if it needs to be monthly, that would be fine as well.  I just want to use the iTunes cards instead of a credit card for the payment.

    Thank you.  So to clarify, if I put a credit card on file for this AppleID, but I have plenty of iTunes credit to cover the monthly cost, then the monthly fee will be pulled from iTunes credits instead of my credit card.  Is that correct? 
    It sounds like the credit card is required in order to provide a backup payment option if the iTunes credits are all used up.  Is that also correct?
    You're awesome!! Thanks for the help.

  • I have a ipod mini, i upgraded my battery, and drive to 32 GB, my itunes will not see it, and the mini only shows file pic error. I have a 10.4.11 powerbook 667 so i can't upgrade to a newer itunes, which is 4.7.1, all i want is a better battery-more song

    Hi,
    I have a older ipod mini which needed a battery, so i also upgraded the drive to a 32 GB flash drive. When i did the upgrade, it saw the itunes fine, but it never loaded anything. When i unplug it it shows the folder with "!" icon, and i can't get my itunes to see it. I have a powerbook 667 mhz g4 with itunes 10.4.11, so i can't upgrade to leopard. All i wanted was a better battery and a bit more song volume. This older 4 GB will fit back in and works fine, but i'm upset i spent $37 to only fail. What am i doing wrong? itunes is 4.7.1 How can i over come this?

    In Disk Utility, select the iPod (the device) in the sidebar.  So, if you see the iPod in the sidbar with a "volume" indented below the iPod, select the "device" (not the volume).
    Go to the Erase tab to the right.  The choice for Format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Name does not matter, because iTunes will rename it during the Restore.  Click Erase.
    it "flashed" out of itunes.
    That may be an issue with the USB connection.  As a test, shut down (power off) the Mac.  Disconnect other USB devices including USB hub, except for standard USB keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  SInce this is a laptop, connect it to its power adapter, so that it's not running on battery power.
    Connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the Mac.  Note if there is any difference regarding the iPod not maintaining a connection.

  • I upgraded to the latest iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now it won't play any music. I can do everything else, except play music. I'm on Windows 7. Any ideas?

    I upgraded to the latest iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now it won't play any music. I can do everything else, except play music. I'm on Windows 7. Any ideas?

    i had this problem and finally figured it out. all that you need to do is go to your start menu and click on computer. select your main drive, (local drive) c usually. Next open the users file follow by your user name file, which is just like it sound it is a file labled as whatever your name is as you have it on your computer. Then you open up the AppData file. Next open the Roaming file. After that open the Apple Computer file followed by the iTunes file. Now you should see the folder labled iTunes Plug-ins folder. Now just Delete that folder. After that go to your iTunes and play your music.
    If for some reason you don't see the AppData file you need to go to the upper left of your screen on select organize. a drop down menu will appear and you need to select folder and searc options. a small folder options window will appear. in this window you need to select the view tab. you need to select the show hidden files, folders, and drives bubble. now hit apply and then ok. that will allow the AppData folder to be seen.

  • When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"

    When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error:  "Could not purchase.  An unknown error occurred (11111).  There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later"
    I am running the latest iTunes 10.7.0.21 for Windows 7.
    This error occurs if I try to either update the app or if I delete it and attempt to redownload.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad.  I am unable to update the apps or install the apps from within the App Store on iOS.
    I do not have an AOL ID, as is a common issue with this type of error.
    From what I can tell, my Apple ID account seems fine.  I logged in, changed some information, and ensured my credit card is valid and updated.
    I can download new apps just fine.  I am unable to update or install apps I have purchased in the past.

    After 30 minutes this morning, no resolution. Then another tech support call this afternoon, 15 minutes in, was escalated to a Tier 2 (Senior) advisor. He said something similar to the above ("this is one of the strangest things I've seen"). He was chatted with iTunes guys and took all my info into the case and was escalating it over to engineering. Said they would be in touch.
    So, no solution...yet.
    Just to clarify:
    iTunes on Windows7: trying to update an existing app, or re-download a prior app, gives the (11111) error. Downloading a new (free) app worked fine.
    App Store on iPhone5, iOS 6.0.1: click on UPDATE, switches to INSTALLING...for a second, then switches back to UPDATE. No error message (and nothing in Diagnostic data).
    App Store on iPad 3, iOS 6.0.1: same as iPhone 5.
    Definitely account related.
    I have cleared the store cache, signed out and back in, deleted the credit card data, and re-added, rebooting PC and iPhone...nothing works.
    Will post if I hear anything back from Apple.

  • Upgraded to 7.6 iTunes, no longer opens.

    Upgraded to 7.6 itunes. It no longer opens, although iTunes.exe is in the Task Manager. It also made me upgrade my iPod software so now it will no longer let me use any old/previous versions of iTunes.
    I've tried formatting my computer (emptying it completely)
    uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
    Deleting all my Norton software (they make it so difficult to turn the firewall off so i didn't bother stuffing around with them)
    and even turning off the Windows Firewall..
    Im out of ideas and this issue is popular but still hasnt been solved!

    Here's a few things that may help:
    iTunes for Windows in Windows XP or Windows 2000 doesn't open after upgrading
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
    iTunes for Windows won't open if firewall software is not up-to-date
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302775
    iTunes for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302372
    If those do not help, try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

    Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:

    I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
    This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
    Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos.

  • Upgraded to 7.3 iTunes - Now getting message "Updating iTunes library..."

    Hello,
    I upgraded to 7.3 iTunes - now we are getting the message "Updating iTunes library...". It gets stuck at this point. Has anyone had this issue? We've installed and re-installed several times.
    Thank you!
    Carrie

    How big is your library? How long did you allow the "updating" window to appear before you cancelled/deleted/and reinstalled?
    If you have a large library--it takes awhile to update it. Albums and artists are now sorted differently--iTunes is reorganizing things. I have approx. 35,000 songs in my library--it took a long time to update (not as long as when gapless playback had to be figured, but at least 15-20 minutes.)
    I'm sure the speed of your processor and the amount of memory you have figures into this equation too.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks now iTunes screen is a negative. Background is black and titles etc. are white. How do I reverse it?

    Upgraded to Mavericks now iTunes screen is a negative. Background is black and titles etc. are white. How do I reverse it?

    Hello Tarpon471,
    It sounds like your desktop is otherwise colored normally, but the colors in iTunes are inverted. I was thinking it is possible that a 3rd party plugin may be causing an issue with iTunes since the upgrade to Mavericks.

  • Since upgrading ios 7.2 itunes is a disaster, all tunes are faded?

    After upgrading to 7.2 itunes displays songs as not on phone and faded. Lost the normal ringtones I had for contacts. Now I am being told that itunes is not available in this country. I need help?

    I finally found a solution for my problem concerning the disappearance of iTunes in the browser settings.
    I changed the Safari settings to "allow third parties". Now everything works fine.
    Why Apple treats its own services as a third party still remains a mystery. In the bargain should a SW update not initially alter the settings of the users preferences without further information.
    Cheers,
    Georg
