Hi all,
Is there a way to combine libraries?

hey Randi!
holding down the option key when you launch iTunes will bring up the
dialog about the library. that's how you switch from one library to
the next. do that and find your library and you should be good to
go! and that's how you can make more than one library!

Hmmm. Well since you're saying the problem occured because I might
have held down the option key, I wonder if I launch iTunes and hold
the option key, if it will ask me about the library again. I might
try
that when I get to where I can tackle this problem. All the other
options sound really daunting, so I'd rather find the easiest
route. I
also thought about uninstalling iTunes and re-downloading it. I
wonder
if that would do it.

SOmeone had previously recommended you either direct iTunes to use
the previous copy of the library or just copy the library from the
previous iTunes library folder back into the top-level of the
iTunes folder. Of course if you use Time Machine, you can always
restore the previous library from there as well.
If all that fails, you can always reimport all of your music and
if it is all tagged properly, you should end up with the same
library you had before the upgrade. One other suggestion, when
launching any program, instead of pressing VO-spacebar on the
item, use command-o. This avoids the potential for the option key
being trapped by the program, which is probably what happen.

Ok, this is good stuff to look at tomorrow. Do you know if there's
anyway to restore iTunes to before the update? Then I can just make
sure that library thing doesn't happen. I wish I had known, or just
quit it. Sounds like fixing it will be hard.

All you have to do is simply quit iTUnes in most cases and just
restart it. I find where the issue shows itself is when you
accidentally hold the option key down while iTunes is loading.
This allows you to select an alternate iTunes library. WHenever
iTunes comes up and asks me for a library, I just quit and
relaunch iTunes and all is well.

Hello. In the future, when ITunes asks you to choose a
library, you should browse to your music/itunes folder, then
push the choose library button or whatever it is called..
That's actually where the Itunes library is. That's what I
have to do a lot of times when software updates come out.
Unfortunately, since you didn't do that this time, I'm not sure
how to change it back.

Hi all,
I am restraining myself from calling Apple until tomorrow. I
just did
the latest iTunes software update, and when it was done, it
asked me
to pick a library. Huh? I think I just selected music. Well,
all my
stuff is gone. All of it. Gone. I'm freaking out and have shut
down
iTunes until I calm down and/or hopefully get some answers. If
you
have any ideas, please, please tell me. I have all my stuff on
my
iPods, but not on a hard back up.
Thanks...
