When I open itunes I have no library

Can someone please help.
My daughter has been using my PC to copy cd's. When I restarted PC I open itunes and all I get is a blank library.
Suggests to me that the route to my library has become corrupt.
Can anyone help me to find my missing library?????
Thanks.

somehow lost access to my iTunes library.
What does iTunes have to do with this?   Also more specific information might be helpful.
What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
Where are you being asked to select a library?  What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?

  • Update to "when I open itunes I have no library"

    Have checked my "my music" folder in windows explorer and all my music is still listed in my itunes folder. When I go into the folder marked "itunes library" I get a message saying windows cannot open this folder.
    Looks like if I get this folder to open I will have my itunes library restored.
    Wary about reloading itunes in case I overwrite this folder and lose my library.
    Can anyone give me an idiots guide as to how to restore this folder or get round this problem.

    OK, here's what I have done.  I have reloaded all my songs onto iTunes.  I closed the program, shut down my comp and waited a day.  After turning on my comp the next day, I opened iTunes, and my library was immeadiately sent to the recycle bin and my iTunes was "reset" to the orignal settings that I had deleted: Set just for music, NO MusicMatch, NO playlists for 90s songs, classical music, etc.
    The two files in my recycle bin were: iTunes Library Extras and iTunes Library Genius.  Upon looking at the properties, these files were made in June 2011.  I restored them to their original location, but nothing happened to my iTunes screen, so I closed it.  Upon opening it again, they were again sent to the recycle bin and new files were put into their place....along with more .tmp files.
    I have no idea where to look for any scans of these files...I have Norton 360 to do my scanning.  I don't know what settings I should have in my iTunes preferences so that this doesn't keep happening. 
    It used to never do this.  It basically started in the summer of 2011 when I upgraded iTunes to the newer version.

  • When I open Itune, I have this message from windows: l'exception instruction privilégiée (0xc0000096) s'est produite dans l'application à l'emplacement 0x02fb21d4. After I close the message, Itune close.

    I think we might try the following document with that one, madubc:
    iTunes 10.2 for Windows: Quits unexpectedly with "Unknown software exception (0xc0000409)" alert
    (The theory with that procedure with installing Safari 5.0.5 is that it updates your Apple Application Support. Apple Application Support contains single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs (such as iTunes, QuickTime and Safari) so the effect of updating it is that iTunes and QuickTime program files will also be updated.)

    If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

    Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

  • Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they are still on my iphone when I open Itunes

    Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they still appear on my iphone when I open Itunes on my computer and they still take up space. I am soon running out of space. Any ideas to permanantly get rid of some of the voice memos?
    Am I the only one that really dislike the fact I cannot customize my iphone and cannot delete whatever files I want?
    The only options i seem to have is to delete all my files WITHOUT a system restor because I tried doing a system restore  and it puts back all my old files on my iphones.
    I'm pretty desperate and any tips would help me a lot

    If I understand you correctly, you purchased two albums directly from your iPhone and have successfully transferred the purchases to your iTunes library, but now you want to remove these two albums from your iPhone but having trouble, correct?
    If so, you can manually delete the albums (song-by-song) by sliding your finger across each song's name, from left to right, then select the Delete button.
    Or, while your iPhone is connected to iTunes click on the Music tab that you see in iTunes (where you specify what items to sync to your iPhone). At the bottom of that window (below Playlists, Genre, etc.) you'll see songs that are "manually" added to your iPhone, just un-check those and re-sync.

  • I moved my itunes library and now when I open itunes all my music lisitngs are gone

    Help...I wanted the other account on my computer (pc) to be able to listen to my itunes library. I followed the instructions from Apple,
    (I thought correctly) and when I open itunes on my account all the songs are gone. Its as if I never had an itunes libary. When I go to the other account on the computer and open itunes, there is an older version of the library w/ only some songs but when I click on a song, it says it cannot be located. Which is why I tried to move the library in the first place.

    What process did you use for moving the library?
    I have noticed iTunes on rare occasions loses files.  Don't know why.  Keep back ups.  Before updating a backup run a script such as Dougscript List MIAs so you can make sure you aren't deleting your only copy should one get lost from your main drive.
    You might want to note that it is a mistake giving away the CDs.  When you no longer posess the CD you relinquish the right to keep a copy of the music. Also, as you are finding, you no longer have a backup source for the music.

  • We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music.

    We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.

    Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library.  iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

  • For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem.  How do I stop that from happening?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • If I have 96 GB in my iTunes folder, why is nothing appearing when I open iTunes?

    When I open iTunes from the dock, I get a brand new looking iTunes. There is nothing in my iTunes library and no playlists in sight. Yet from the Finder I can see there are 96 GB worth of audios inside my iTunes folder.
    I have been to the Genius Bar twice and followed their suggestions and both times I was unsuccessful.
    My iTunes folder is confusing for reasons I won't go into here. It contains a bunch of iTunes library files as well as the following folders:
    Album Artwork (which contains a Cache and Downloads folder - both of which are empty)
    iTunes Media (which contains the following folders - Automatically Add to iTunes; Downloads; Mobile Applications; Movies; Music; Podcasts);
    iTunes Music - empty
    Previous iTunes Libraries (which contains a bunch of Library files from different dates)
    I can see all my music in the Music folder within the iTunes Media folder.
    Anyhow if there is anyone reading this that can help sort out this mess, I would be most appreciative.
    Thanks,

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.
