iTunes library disappeared after El Capitan upgraded

After the upgrade of the OS Yosemtie to El Capitan, my 6 000 more than songs in my iTunes library are missing and not appearing is not in iTunes.   My hard drive reflects a lot of space is used by 'audio' so I guess that the songs are somewhere and I need to repopulate their return to iTunes?  If I had known that el Capitan do that I ever would be improved.  I have a time Machine backup to an external drive of my iMac before the upgrade.  Please, it ruined the x - mas!

Thanks in advance for any help.

    In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the name of the application crashed or process. For example, if Safari has crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes).

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages since the time of the last fall, as appropriate. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    The journal contains a large amount of information, almost everything that is not relevant to solve a particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

Allows you to copy and paste to validate all of the content, text, not a screenshot.

    I know that the report is long, perhaps several hundred lines. Please report all this anyway. If the report is only a few lines, make sure that you have disabled the search box.

    Please do not post other types of diagnostic report - they are very long and rarely useful.

    When you post the journal excerpt or the accident report, you might see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  • How can I get back 5.3 library disappeared after I loaded from android to the first item 12?

    I recently upgraded to first items 12 and loaded my photos and videos of my android (4 G Samsung Galaxy) in the new program. Then when I went to my Lightroom 5.3 I found my files of entire library except a picture with a statement of missing file disappeared, disappeared. All gone but only one image. The original files are still on my hard drive, but can we recover them with my Lightroom changes that have not been saved? How can I do this? or are they all go?

    Are you sure that you open the correct catalog? Search the .lrcat files and if you find the good double click it.

    You have backup catalogs (do you not)? Open your most recent backup catalog and see what you have.

    I don't know about the first 12 items, but I don't see how that would be linked to lose your LR catalog.

  • ITunes library and duplicate the items and folders of Windows Explrr

    I have a 2 or 3 General questions on iTunes.  I download all my iTunes on a PC and play really.  That is why the questions about iTunes folders in Windows Explorer.

    1 how to produce duplicates in the library?  I have loads.  I saw the advice to remove them.  This helps a little but it's still a task to be piecemeal.    How to stop what is happening in the first place?

    2 in addition to the duplicates.  Last night I went in Windows Explorer on the PC that I use to download and play iTunes and entered the iTunes Media/Music folder.   I walked carefully each folder album deleting duplicate here.   However, on opening iTunes itself today, duplicates all seem to be still there in the library list.   Why it did not work?  ITunes is not loading the content of this folder?  If this is not the case, why I was informed to support?

    3 What does the symbol of iCloud next to some of the tunes?  If I run the cursor over them, it says 'download '.   But surely I downloaded it when I bought and added to my library?    Why should I download it again?  That this symbol that the melody in question can not play if the PC is offline?

    4 one of the songs in my library list appeared today in my Windows Explorer iTunes Media/Music folder.   I can I have accidentally deleted while I was removing the duplicates it and have now downloaded it in the album in this folder.    Probably so, iTunes library does not constantly in the folder of music on a Windows PC?    He only takes over here if the backup is necessary?

    If so OK but other files appear in the library that do not exist and he asks me if I want to find the file?

    I guess that my confusion stems from the assumption that the iTunes Media/Music in Windows Explorer folder should indicate precisely what will appear in the library in the app.

    Vondegru,

    With regard to questions 2 and 4: iTunes does not automatically "load" all the files in the folders.  You can do an analysis of initial unique optional optional when you install iTunes, which will add all are compatible files in the iTunes library.  After that, files not added unless you take action to add.

  • MacBook can not see my WD My Passport after El Capitan installed.

    Hi all. My Macbook can't read the WD My Passport after El Capitan upgraded. It worked fine before upgrade, think a Yosemite before. Do not see it in the Finder or in the Apple system report. Any ideas? I'm sure it's all to do with NTSC etc, but why he would become unreadable? Thank you...

    The WD My Passport works on other computers?

  • How can I copy my old library a Shuffle and a 5 Ipod to my new Itunes library?

    I have an Ipod and a shuffle that are very old I want to load the library of music on them on my new nano but I can't understand the new itunes and how to put music from my old appliances in my library. Any help out there?

    By design, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction, from the iTunes library on your computer to the iPod.  You cannot transfer files from song from iPod to computer (via iTunes), with the exception of songs purchased on iTunes Store (because iTunes can check the property).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something as 'ipod transfer music', you should get a few useful links, including a CNET article on the subject.

    Once your music files on your disk, add them to your iTunes library.  After the confirmation that all your songs are there, you can synchronize your iPod as you wish.

  • Library disappears Win 7 folders

    My win7 libraries files have disappeared and all I have left is file library-ms. How do I restore files? And where are they?

    I am running Win 7 Home Premium Sp1 on a Toshiba Netbook NB305-N410BL model with 1 GB of mem. I think that the folders in the library disappeared after a Windows Update. I was busy with other projects and doesn't have a lot of attention to the libraries that I wasn't using them, and they have not been opened.

    When the slowdown of work and other things, I found that libraries were messed up. I tried several suggestions on the web, but they were concerned about the files, not the files.

    First of all, I use Win XP Pro Sp3 and have since XP came out. The Netbook is my experience of Win 7. I love it and get used to it. But I think his frustration the way MS cache things to users, to protect them. I have been using a PC since before the advent of the IBM/MS operating system and personal computer. It took me awhile to come to Windows. I don't have fear of digging in the bowels of the BONE, although it has gotten me in trouble and hard work at times.

    I use the computer mostly for digital photography and business applications.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Thank you for choosing Windows. I'll certainly do my best to get the matter sorted and your windows a good of experience.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

    1. what was the last time that the library has functioned well?

    2. you have any antivirus installed on the computer program?

    I suggest you to view update history to see which update might be causing the problem.

    ·         Open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programs, and then Windows Update.

    ·         In the left pane, click view update history.

    You can also try to run the Windows Media player library Troubleshooter and check if it helps. You can also try the Troubleshooting Windows Media Player utility and check.

    If the problem persists, you can build the Media Player library database and check if it helps.

    The Windows Media Player library database can usually recover automatically from the database. However, the database may be corrupted in such a way that Windows Media Player is unable to recover the database.

    1. click on Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

    2. Select all the files in the folderand then click delete on the file menu.

    Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    3 restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    # If you run Windows 7/Vista, click Start , click run , type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click on OK.

    # Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.
