Q: iTunes Library Missing after Mavericks upgrade
I use a 128gb SSD for my primary drive on my Macbook Pro. This is primarily for speed, and so that I can have a secondary 500gb hard drive for my massive media library of songs, movies and more. Since upgrading to Mavericks, my iTunes media library is empty. Even when I go to iTunes Preferences>Advanced> and change my iTunes Library location to reflect the actual location on the secondary drive, nothing displays. I need help to get this resolved so i can continue to enjoy my media. Thanks.

Hey votezaktaylor,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iTunes library is empty after updating to Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
No content shows up in iTunes after updating

Resolution
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
4. Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
5. Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
6. Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
7. Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
8. Rename this file to iTunes Library.
9. Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
If the above does not resolve your issue, you can learn about re-creating your iTunes library:
