iTunes playlists/media, missing since the update of the sierra

It will be difficult to explain, but my Mac threw a fit when I updated for sierra.  Initially, I lost my entire library.  It's on an external drive and sierra seemed to point to the default library.  Called Apple and they said the "file multimedia iTunes was missing.   Sharp itunes for the external drive and he could not see.  Probably because of the missing multimedia iTunes file.  Took an hour of round Mobile files and the technician left me with the items to copy and said "that should do it."  After that a few hours I received a message that the hard drive was full!  Somehow he had copied to files and duplicate the hard disk.  All my playlists were too with the counties of game and bookmarks missing from TV etc.   Some worked me and somehow got all this back and forth, the whole lot, but now I have 2 files on the external HARD drive.  the one with the real files (less the multimedia file mentioned previously).  The other file has files itl etc. and the iTunes media inside as well as the illustrations, BUT in the preferences folder, the library is pointing to the folder which has just the files in it and NOT all the info in there library database.   It works, what's more to say apples, fix, but it's a weird way of working and im about to move my library to a new drive and I see bad to come.  Can I move the two files to new HARD drive? If yes how it will find my playlist information and files when they are distributed in 2 files.  My apologies for what is long. Thanks for the pointers

Preferences do not "point" on location of media except to say iTunes to put whatever it is added from this point, the to this place. The only thing pointing to the location of media is each individual line in the .itl file entries.  It seems to me that you used to have a shared library with multimedia files on a drive along with the rest of the library support on your disk files inside.  You do not specify what has happened when you "lost" your library.  If you say that you lost playlists and counters that it sounds to me like you are creating a new library (.itl) starting with a white and adding media to him to get a stand-alone library the way things normally are.  Personally, I wish that you had come here first because we probably could have cured it all in 5 minutes, being a little more than a power - a by-the-book mindset. There is probably an easy fix, but now everything has been confused by you and Apple apparently trying to get everything back up to the main drive I don't know where we are.

You have a backup from before doing the update?  You still need a backup.  If you do then things likely to find without too much problem.

Are your files on the external hard drive always as they were before?  You have two folders in library in your music folder? You must be old. Try starting iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and when you are prompted to select the .itl file in the old folder.  This is the file 'pointing' for your multimedia files on the external hard drive and containing of playlists, ratings, date added, etc.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review other cases and a list of documents to support further down the page, in which case one of them applies.

  • Can I watch a show that is currently recording in Windows Media Center since the beginning of this show?

    I use Windows Media Center to record TV shows.  Suppose I record a show in an hour at 6:00, and I decide to 06:10 I want to watch this show from the beginning. (while it's recording)

    Is it possible to do this in Windows Media Center?  The media file of the recording of the show is not accessible until it is 100% finished recording.

    I am looking for a way to watch a show while it's recording, but to do so since the beginning of the show (after the start of recording)

    Thank you

    Im sure that you can watch TV recordings during live TV recording, but you can't watch a program during its course of recording.

  • Postgres driver missing in the sierra (phpinfo.php) PDP?

    My Mac El Capitan phpinfo.php lists three PDO drivers:

    PDO drivers mysql, sqlite, pgsql

    I updated another mac Sierra and the phpinfo.php reported only two: mysql and sqlite.

    That's why I always get a message when you try to use the same software that runs on El Capitan.

    Error is: "failed connection: driver is not found.

    Why this driver was eliminated from the Sierra?  Is there a solution?

    Note: Sierra had PHP Version 5.6.24, whereas I used 5.5.3.4 with El Capitan.

    Kind regards

    I've recently updated to El Capitan and since then the small button that appears on the right side of a hard drive external when you hove top of ejection is missing. I use four external hard drives every day, and it of a lot of your time to eject all of them to order, click on each of them...

  • Bookmarks, missing since the installation of Firefox 8!

    Firefox automatically updated to 8 from one day to the next and now my favorites have totally disappeared. I searched the computer carefully and that you can not find them anywhere. Any suggestions?

    Hi, tried different steps as recommended on the web/FAQ site etc, but nothing. All my settings (such as log ins, saved passwords, etc.) also disappeared. However, I could recover my favorites, by pure luck I think.

    During the process, I noticed that the bookmarks were stored in what is called a JSON file. (The single file appears to be saved was the empty one created by the newly installed 8 Firefox, which was unnecessary). So I did a search for a JSON file on my computer and found the files in

    C:\Users\Laurie\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start demarrer\programmes\accessoires\outils Tools\Profiles\izyq35gr.default\bookmarkbackups and managed to reload!

    But the files have been saved in any normal place and install Firefox 8 caused a lot of problems, lost data and time.

    See you soon,.

  • Magic Bullet Looks is missing since the upgrade.

    Hi all

    After the upgrade to Premiere Pro for Premiere Pro 2015.3 (v10.4 "Good buddy"), all my plug-ins Red Giant now seem to be "missing" when I open existing projects containing filters from red giant.

    I have the Magic Bullet Looks applied to an element in a project.  In the effect controls panel - the filter appears in the list as 'Filter in offline mode' (sounds like).

    Anyone who knows the cause, or more importantly, no one knows how to fix this?

    Any help is very appreciated.

    I think that I found the solution to my problem.  I made a copy of the Adobe Premiere plug ins folder C:/Program Files/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore and saved as a backup to my desktop.  I have emptied the original file of all the plugins and reinstalled plugins via the website of red giant and then reactivated their inserting the code.

    Fingers crossed, it seems to work.

  • Missing since the installation of Acrobat 9 text

    Hi all

    I am running Windows XP with SP2. I recently installed the Adobe Tech Comm Suite 2, which includes Acrobat 9. Now I can't print from Frame (7.2 or 9.0) or Acrobat without losing the text in my files. Text falls at random, without any apparent reason. Has anyone else seen elsewhere? Is there a solution that does not save each individual file in a book as a MIF, then in PDF format? I have a team member who has had success with this, but it's much too much time for my staff trying to fill huge books in a very short time. I look forward to any idea you may have.

  • Unusable since the Sierra mail upgrade

    When first, I upgraded my iMAC to Sierra (10.12), Mail would crash whenever I tried to select the "Sent" folder Most of the other cases could access fine; some would also Mail crashing. Sierra of re-installed, no luck.

    Today, mail started crashing on a few other issues. Then, finally, he crashed altogether and will reopen; whenever I try to open the application, I get a "Mail quit unexpectedly" dialog and dump. I think it's the most relevant information:

    Crashed thread: 6 dispatch queue: com.apple.root.default - qos

    Exception type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

    Exception codes: 0 x 0000000000000000, 0 x 0000000000000000

    Note the exception: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

    Request for clarification:

    Reason for termination due to an untrapped exception "NSInvalidArgumentException" app,: '-[NSNull length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fffb4d7cf10'

    Abort() called

    ending with an exception uncaught of print type

    Once more, I reinstalled Sierra, but still cannot open the Mail at all. Any thoughts?

    Hi PTDiMarzio,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.

    You can correct Mail Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra does not ("Mail quit unexpectedly") by removing the folder container "com.apple.mail.savedState." Mac OS X saves the locations of the window and documents open most programs to restore them when the program is started after you quit smoking. Sometimes after upgrading from Mac OS X to the latest version, there may be some problems of manipulation with the prior consent of the State of the mail which could lead to Sierra registered mail is not an answer and crashing.

    How to remove the Mail from the saved state:

    1. Force quit Mail app ('Application is not responding do not"question!).
    2. Go to the Finder.
    3. Hold the Option key and select 'library' in the menu 'go. '
    4. Go to the folder 'containers > com.apple.mail > data > library > state saved application' and move the folder called "com.apple.mail.savedState" to the trash.
    5. Empty the trash.
    6. Restart your Mac.
    7. Mail recovery.

    Hope this will help.

    See you soon!
