"itunes library not found"

i get the message "itunes library not found" when scratch live tries to read itunes.

Hi timbo slice,

If you open Finder and go to Music -> iTunes do you see the iTunes Music Library.xml file there?

I had the same issue, i had to uninstall and reinstall the software and it worked fine ever since.
Note i did not delete the programs system files when i uninstalled :-)

hey sorry i didn't see you're replies for awhile



no the xml file is not in there nor is there one anywhere on my computer (i've searched finder).



which software are you talking about, scratch live or itunes?

This will be the problem then :) This is the file that Scratch Live reads to get your iTunes library information. iTunes should create this automatically, which version of iTunes are you using?

yes that is my problem. I can't seem to find an .xml file anywhere.. and i can't get itunes to create one. is there a specific process that will force itunes into creating one that contains my current library? I am running itunes 9.0.2. However this problem has persisted since the original itunes 9.0 was released. i've also tried reverting back to an earlier version of itunes (itunes 8) and have had no luck.

Try opening iTunes, make a new playlist, then quit iTunes - this should force iTunes to make a new xml file. Please let me know if that works :)

it did not create a new xml file.

If you open iTunes, go to Preferences -> Advanced it will show your iTunes Music folder location. Can you please type that EXACTLY into this thread :)

Also do you have the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" options checked?

/users/~/music/itunes/itunes music

Yes both items are checked.

the ~ is for my name

Thanks for that :)

Are you able to attach your com.apple.iApps.plist file to this thread? You can find that in ~/Library/Preferences/
