Why does my itunes no ponger work after Upgrade?

I upgraded my itunes today. When I restarted my PC and opened it up itunes no longer displays my songs. I checked and the pointer for the files under preferences is in the same place as before the upgrade.

Okay. The following troublesshooting document is probably worth trying with those symptoms:

  • Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

    I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
    I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
    So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
    I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
    Details -
    4th Generation
    I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
    I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
           (e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
    881 MB are still left
    Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

    I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
    1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
    2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
    3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
    all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
    4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
    5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
    6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
    If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
    7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box  "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
    8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
    9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
    10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
    Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

  • ITunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6

    iTunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6. The white screen with gray tape above appears, and nothing more happens. Reinstalling/restoring iOS doesn't help. I have contacted support team in my country (Russia) by phone, but they could not solve the problem. Is there downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 available?

    What printer are you using?  Is it listed here:

  • ITunes Match not working after upgrade

    After upgrading to iOS 6 ota on my ipad3 my iTunes Match is not showing any songs. I get the artists and albums, but they are empty. I hav shut iTunes Match off, then on without results. I have reset my iPad without results. Any insight appreciated. It works fine on my iPhone 4 after upgrade.

    Yeah, so I did the full restore recommended by other posters, and that fixed the issue for me, as well. I backup my phone to iCloud, so these are the steps I took:
    Backed up the phone by going to Settings -> iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Back Up Now
    Reset the phone by going to Settings -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings
    When phone started back up, I went through the initial setup screens, connected to a WiFi network, then selected the option "Restore from iCloud Backup", entering my Apple ID + password
    After a couple of restarts on its own, my phone froze starting up (black screen w/ silver Apple, progress bar frozen), and despite a couple of hard restarts by holding power + home button, it kept freezing at startup at the same point. I had to connect my phone to my computer and wipe it via iTunes (select the iPhone in the left navbar, then click "Restore"), then I did steps #2 and #3 again, and this time it restored properly. Now, all my iTunes Match songs and playlists show up and play properly.
    If my phone hadn't frozen in mid-restore, it wouldn't have been that painful, but, still, kind of irritating that it was necessary.

  • Why does my purchased music not work after i restored my ipod touch

    i restored my 4g ipod touch but after i did all the music i purchased on itunes doesnt work, it just skips that song, why is this happening?

    If the music play OK in iTunes on your computer
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does 5S Touch ID stop working after a day?

    When I teach my iPhone 5S to recognize my fingerprint, it does so for awhile, but the more time passes the less likely it will work (Try Again . . . Try Again . . .). It doesn't matter which fingers or thumb I use, or how many I train the phone to recognize, the whole interface breaks down in less than 48 hours.
    Any idea what's going on?

    Hello, barracuda 5.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is an article that I would recommend when experiencing this issue.
    Troubleshooting Touch ID
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning.
    Tap Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID and verify that:
    iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is enabled.
    One or more fingerprints have been enrolled.
    If one finger isn't working, tap Edit in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID > Edit to delete and then reenroll the finger.
    If that finger still isn't working, try enrolling a different finger.
    If you are unable to enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin may affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.

  • Why does my USB headset stop working after an hour?

    I've tried both a standard headset with USB adapter AND a USB headset directly in both a Intel iMac and a PowerMac G5 and every occasion after approxiamtely one hour the mic feature begins to fail. The headphones seem unaffected.
    Any clues?

    Hi Christopher, I have this same problem with my USB headset. I have a dongle that lets you plug in a headset to the back of it. It works great for an hour, then everyone tells me I sound like a robot. I can hear them fine. I unplug and plug back in and it works fine again.
    Did you ever figure this out?
    I'm running 10.8.5 and it happens in G+Hangouts, Go To Meeting, and Adobe Connect.
    Weird. Not terribly taxing, but annoying nonetheless...

  • Ver 4.0.1 for PC, why does my scroll wheel stop working after a while? Only happens with Firefox app.

    Closing and relaunching solves problem for a while, but happens again after opening about 5 web pages.

  • Why does my camera no longer work after ios7 upgrade?

    I've had my iphone 4s for 1 year and LOVED it until I upgraded to the ios7 last week. Now, my formerly beautiful camera (which was the only camera that I took with me to Europe last year - by holding the shuttter button down until I could capture a perfectly still photo, I took the most amazing pictures) mostly takes blurry photos. If the subject moves, forget it - it's all a blur. I hate it now. Not only that, I used to be able to access my university Moodle site with my phone - since the upgrade, I can no longer log in. Brutal. Thanks alot, Apple!

  • Why doesn't my App store work after upgrading to 6.0

    IPad 2 wifi
    Just got it back from the shop and they did a reset.  When I was updating the IPad so it had the apps I wanted, one of the apps stated I had to have 6.0.  I thought why not.  Since the update, I have not been able to see my list of programs in the App Store under purchased.  It cycles for 5 minutes and then shuts down the App prog.  Took it in to the Apple store and they did all sorts of things to it (mostly through information provided through the communities, Not Apple) and said I had to restore it again.  Wipe and restore it and now it has no Apps other than the original and my list of downloaded programs are still inaccessible.  All other functions of the App Store program worked.
    Just as a funny FYI, I downloaded the updated 10.7 ITunes to my laptop and it doesn't have access to my account either.  Just cycles and says the web site cannot be found.  Have another computer with 10.6 and the list works fine. 
    So now in order to find out what I had on my IPad, I have to either wait for an update to unscrew this mess, or downgrade to 5.1.1 (which isn't available through apple), or go through a list of 4000+ apps and games and hope that I can find the ones that I had before.
    I am used to this kind of crap through a PC based system so I learned to make backups.  I guess I need to start learning if apple has a way to do that now because they are as screwed up as PC's.

    I would suggest deleting the Safari Preference Files and Caches.
    To do this:
    Go to Apple Menu Bar> Go> Library. (You must hold the option key to have the Library option be shown in the menu).
    Then go to the Caches folder and look for a folder that says "com.apple.safari" or something similar. Drag that folder to the Trash.
    After that, go to the Preferences folder in the Library and look for a file called "Safari.plist" or something similar. Again, drag that file to the Trash.
    Close the Finder window and relauch Safari.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why does the airplay icon not appear after upgrading to Mavericks on my iMac.

    I am using an Apple TV, iPad 2, and an iMac with wifi sharing enabled.  Before upgrading to mavericks I was easily able to use airplay to mirror the display of my ipad2 to a projector.  After the upgrade the airplay icon will dispear.  When I restart the wifi sharing on my imac then the airplay icon will reappear on my ipad.
    Does anyone have a fix for this.  I use this in my classroom and this problem made yesterdays lesson almost undoable because students were givng presentations and each time a student wanted to project thier ipad screen I had to reset my wifi.
