What on earth is iTunes 1 ?!?

I opened iTunes but it says iTunes 1 and there is nothing there! If I search for mp3 files in Finder I can find them but if I open them from Finder they play but in iTunes 1. They will then remain in the playlist in there. How do I get iTunes to open with everything in it?  And where did this itunes 1 come from?

It sounds like you've accidentally created a second itunes library. (The default name for that is "iTunes 1".)
Quit iTunes. Now hold down the Shift key as you launch iTunes again. You should see a dialogue asking if you want to choose or create a new library. Click "Choose library".
Browse to the default location for the iTunes library:
[Your Home Folder]/Music/iTunes
Can you see an iTunes library file in there? If so, choose that. Do you have your old library back?

  • What on Earth??? iTunes won't start

    I have installed iTunes on my computer (running XP service pack 2) and get the following error
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience
    Then it doesn't do anything else - just the 'do you want to send a report' thing. What on earth is going on?

    I'm having the same problem. I have reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime and iTunes still won't run. When I go into Quicktime and click on the Audio Tab I get the following:
    Buffer Overrun Detected
    C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe
    A buffer overrun has been detectd which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.
    Any idea on how to fix this problem?

  • IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
    did you use a different id to buy the app?
    you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

  • HT1719 I have music on my Shuffle and want to transfer it onto iTunes but when I go to Sync it, it warns me that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what's on my iTunes. I have a new mac-mini and my old computer was an HP.

    Can anyone tell me how to tranfer the music that is on my Shuffle to iTunes? When I go to Sync it, it gives me a warning that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what is on my iTunes. I recently changed computers from an HP to a Mac-Mini and did not transfer/sync the itunes prior to getting rid of my itunes. So the music I had on itunes does not appear in my library. Help please!

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your new Mac and into iTunes.

  • What the heck is iTunes uploading?

    After a frustrating week trying to use iTunes match, I've finally gotten a good chunk of my library in the cloud. The problem is the remaining 10 gigs: all live DJ sets that are roughly 2 hours long. They hover around 180 mb each, so under the limit.
    Problem is, I cannot get these to upload at all. I got lucky with one, and another matched, but the rest have been a boondoggle. I've tried many things, and as an experiment I decided to remove all of them from my library, add JUST ONE back into my iTunes, and then keep Activity Monitor open to see what exactly is happening.
    And this is what I get: I added back in a file that is 189 mb large. I started the transfer about two hours ago. With Activity Monitor open and set to the Netowrk tab, I originally had "Data sent: 18.38 gb". I verified that I didn't have any thing else really doing any uploads (every once and a while I'd see "Data sent/sec" spike to 1k/second or so, so I figured it was probably just Mail checking my inbox). Now it's two hours later, Data sent/sec has ranged from 40k/sec to 90k/sec (darn ADSL's slow upload speeds). But here's the kicker, I see "Data sent: 18.69 gb"
    Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but a 189 mb file added to 18.38 gb should equal around 18.58 gb. Which means that iTunes has magically uploaded an additional 100 mb or so of data. Even considering the fact that, since this is an mp3, it'd get re-encoded into an AAC, I find it very unlikely that we're talking about a 50% decrease in compression efficiency, and keep in mind that the upload STILL ISN'T FINISHED. In fact, as I write this, it's now at 18.73 gb data sent and no sign of stopping.
    Does anyone know what exactly is happening here? This mirrors my experiences with my first few attempts at uploading these sets: 10 gigs at once, but 6 gigs of uploading later, not a single one had finished. WHAT THE HECK IS ITUNES MATCH DOING??? I'm seriously considering canceling and seeing if I can get my money back, since I mainly cared about being able to stream these sets onto my iPad.

    Uh just to update, at around 18.77 gb data sent, data has stopped being uploaded from iTunes. Except it's still not done "uploading" the one song. So now I guess it's officially hung.  WHAT'S HAPPENING???

  • What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit?  Makes my PC run like a 286 on Windows 3.11.

    What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit?  So slow and draggy.  Makes my high end PC with multi-core processor and video card run like a 286.  Even did this after doing a fresh install of the operating system with the latest version of iTunes. 
    No other software does this on my machine.  There has to be some crazy issue causing this.

    Try this,
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

    See:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

  • What's Wrong With iTunes 11? It's Extremely Annoying!

  • What's wrong with iTunes Canada?

    What's wrong with iTunes Canada? It's becoming archaic. While the UK store is selling TV programs and now has the iPhone, the neighboring country to the United States has nothing new since iTunes U came out. No movies, no TV programs, no iPhone... And to top it all, Steve Jobs has never said a word about iTunes Canada. No official statement about these services in iTunes Canada. ARE we going to have movies? Are we going to have TV programs? When will we have a carrier for the iPhone?
    Hello? Anyone there?

    This is user to user forum only, so no one on these boards can answer your questions. When the contracts for all Canadian copyright holders are in place for Apple to distribute this content in the store, Apple will announce. Until then, anything else that may be discussed is strictly speculation & speculation on new products or services from Apple is against the "terms of use" of these forums. Sorry.

  • I repeatedly have problems loading https sites, e.g., bank, credit cards, etc. that I have used for ever. Anyone know what on earth is going on? It wont even load the proper images or allow the links to work. I've tried everything you suggest but no luck

    I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Power PC running Firefox 3.6.11, and every time I try to access a secure site that I have accessed many, many times before and even TaxAct last year, the images do not load nor do the links on the page work. The bank and credit card pages constantly come up with the "Security" issue, & even when I try to "accept" the exception it will not allow me to even though everything in the "details" section is fine. I have no idea what on earth is going on, I have literally tried everything you have suggested without any success. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone please help me?

    Sucks, don't it?  It's a not helpful error message.
    Sadly, rebooting your Mac often is required to get work done in Pr these days.  You could also try deleting your prefs, and searching for and quarantining corrupt media.
    I believe corrupt media or corrupt projects are the major source of crashes on the Mac side.
    And since you're on a Mac, run Disk Warrior and Repair Permissions after all OS upgrades and software installs.
    And when you're editing, set your Auto-Save frequency to a short interval, and increase the number of saved projects to 100 or so (I have mine set to 1000.), OR Increment and Save As often.  This might save you from losing entire projects to project file corruption, as has happened to me.  I have a thread similar to yours now because Pr won't open projects that have been corrupted.  I learned about multiple versions the hard way.

  • I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down???

    I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down or what? I need to download some things and update some apps...

    I've been getting the same message for like an hour now.  Since everything was working fine a few hours ago, and nothing changed on my end before it stopped working, I'm guessing it's something on Apple's end.  They probably already know about it by now, and are hopefully working on fixing it, so there's probably not much we can do but wait for them to fix it.
