press and hold on the shift key then run the Itunes , the menu will ask you to create new library , follow this , it will sort it out your problemo
HOLD THE SHIFT KEY?? IT DOESNT WORK.. ALL IT DUZ FOR ME IS BRING UP IF I WANT TO USE THE KEYBOARD FILTER KEYS... EXPLAIN IT TO ME THOROUGH PLEASE
My iTunes 9 library filled up on my C: drive. Following the instructions, I relocated it to my G: drive (1TB) and gave it the name of 'iTunes Library'.
It copied everything to the new location, and everything seemed to be OK.
Today, when I pluged in my iPod Touch (32g), told gave me a message (I wish I had written it down) to the effect that my iPod can only be sync'ed to one {I don't remember, sorry).
The problem is that both on iTunes and my iPod I've lost all my music, except for two recent purchases. All the songs, podcasts, etc are present in the new folder, and iTunes shows that folder in the Preferences, but I can't see any of my content.
It seems like a simple problem, but... H*E*L*P

Hi,
having an absolute nightmare with my ipod for the past month!! I bought a new laptop a month ago with Vista on, but my ipod just will not sync properly. Everytime I try to sync, it sync's about 600 songs and then the itunes/ipod just freezes, and when I disconnect it by pulling out the USB lead the same message as above pops up (ie. the folder cannot be found).
I have tried everything I could think of over the past month to try and get it working (reinstalling itunes a few times / holding shift & itunes, then choosing a library / making sure the path name is corret / trying to sync one song at a time etc etc etc) but nothing will work!!!
Might someone be so kind as to have any ideas as to what I need to do here??
Thanks a mill!

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
Yeah,only problem is when you shift and open iTunes when you create the new folder it deletes EVERYTHING from your iTunes library,including your music,movies,ringtones and apps. Would have been nice to know before I followed this "solution"
Sorry, can someone explain more what to do? I tried it, created a new folder, moved the old files into it, but the tunes don't show up in my iTunes interface, and they won't sync to my iPod. What files do you put in this new folder? Just the music files? The other folders as well? Does it matter what you name it? What do you do with the old folder?
I can't even begin to thank you... I have spent hours troughing through rubbish forums... & here we are!... simples! <3 you x
thx for this info ............ it worked like a charm for me ................... u r a star ................. thx again
