Lost iTunes Library - CAN not rebuild. Help!
Tonight I thought I had lost most of my iTunes library. It turns out that I didn't have that I can find the content itself, but iTunes can't see it. So, I followed the instructions here to try to resolve the problem: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203225
It did not work. I found myself with some of my content. Most of my music, none of my TV or movies (and no, these were not bought through iTunes)
I then tried to rebuild my iTunes Library with these instructions: http://www.mcelhearn.com/how-to-rebuild-your-itunes-library/
It did not work also.
So, I was wondering if I should completely remove iTunes from my iMac, the re - install it if this could work?
Although I had to remove, and then reinstall iTunes, I still have all my content back inside however get. All content currently, lives on an external hard drive and so I do not know what to do really. I thought maybe I could drag and drop content more but there is more content on this external drive to the room, I have available on my iMac.
Any ideas?
The first method rebuilt your library by using a backup file created whenever you updated the iTunes application. If you have videos in there at the time that they should appear even if only as broken links. If they had not been entered and then realize that it uses an older version of your library file. The library file doesn't say what media he recorded for you and where, not an inventory of your media files to iTunes.
The second method allows to rebuild the library based on a version in alternate formats of the library file. It is regularly updated and if, during your previous attempts it updated the .xml to match the library at this stage, then that is clearly not good.
I do not reinstall the application. If you are desperate then simply slide the media on the outside back into the existing library. Designated as the place to store media in iTunes > Preferences > advanced is the external drive then he should leave the files there.
You have the entire library on the external hard drive, or just media? Be aware if you have all of your external library must be on before launching iTunes.

the itunes library could not be saved you have enough greenest access for this operation
I get the following message when I upload music when I am in itunes. the itunes library could not be saved. You have enough greenest access for this operation
Hi WesleyJefferson,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:
Method 1: These messages occur if the permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or a folder in your designated music folder. The permissions are settings that determine who can read, write, or execute a file or a folder on your computer. Each file and folder on your hard drive has an associated permission set.
Example: If the permissions are correct on your music folder, but incorrect on the U2 folder inside your music folder, you would be able to add other music to your iTunes library, but not this new U2 album.
To apply permissions to a file or folder, see the article mentioned below:
How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308419
Method 2: You can also read the article and check.
Difficulties to add music to iTunes or audio CD import library
http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS1387
Method 3: Try to uninstall iTunes and other apple system applications and reinstall iTunes again. See the apple Web site to download iTunes. Click on the link below.

On XP iTunes library is not recognized by Apple TV
I am running iTunes 10.1.1.4 on a Dell with XP. Apple TV, a new product, cannot display the contents of the iTunes library when the PC is connected via an Ethernet cable to the router network, however, a laptop, running Windows 7, wireless with Apple TV, works very well. Apple TV works wirelessly to the router. I disabled the firewall, anti-virus removed, and security software but cannot get the library to be recognized by Apple TV iTunes.
I had 4 conversations with Apple TV senior advisers, followed all their suggestions. It now appears that the problem is with Windows XP. It is here where I am now.

restore from Time Machine lost iTunes library
My system crashed and I'm having a hard time folding files of TimeMachine. It is not very intuitive, if you ask me. When I try to restore my music library, it tells me that I can't because "she is required by OSX. In general, I'm quite unhappy with iTunes and the difficulty of storing music where you want. Now I seem to have lost my whole library that is not on my iPhone. Any advice for how to get back what I lost and a different program to go would be appreciated.
You try to restore iTunes (the application) or you go to the user music folder to restore the library?

Update iTunes errors, can not find the file iTunes6464.msi
Try to update iTunes on PC.
Windows 7 (64-bit) with Intel i5 processor.
During an update of base, update errors trying to find the file "iTunes6464.msi" he says is not available.
I tried to delete all the software Apple on PC, but the file final iTunes will not uninstall because of the same file.
The new apple software download now error with the same error.
How can I solve this problem?
For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.
Start by missing error MSI.
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 the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.
Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

I tried to take out additional coverage on the internet with a master password. Unfortunately what I typed to the origin is not excluded or recognized. This causes me a major problem due to one of the sites I use for work being blocked, as well as my original e-mail. How can I solve this problem? I tried to turn it off, but it requires the correct password and it does not work. Don't know what happened or if I typed a wrong typo. Can you help me on your end?
PAM
Firefox master password feature protects your saved passwords. However, even if you are unable to access your saved passwords, you should be able to connect to the site manually (by typing your user name and password). Is that somehow have blocked as well?
If you have forgotten your master password, you can delete and create a new. However, I think that will also erase all your saved connections and you will save them again. More information on this: reset your master password if you forget.
If the problem is not with the Firefox built-in password manager but another (add-on, the external program), then steps would be different, but they depend on what you use.
