Help! My libraries have all disappeared!

[Dark Asteroid]

I was having many problems with crashes and nonworking features; a moderator suggested I upgrade to the newest version. I upgraded from V12 to V13 and all the crashes went away and the features now work... but the libraries have disappeared.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

You have a couple of options.

First and foremost I'd say you should check to make sure A:M is seeing all Libraries.

Look for 'All Libraries' in the dropdown menu in your library window.

 

If all looks good thee next step would be to make sure A:M knows where your library files are.

 

Go to TOOLS/OPTIONS and look on the FOLDERS tab

There you'll see Libraries on the drop down menu

As I imagine it won't be there you can add a path to your Libraries by clicking and directing it to your CD.

Example: E:\Data\Libraries\

 

Linking to the CD may cause some Read Only issues so perhaps better still than the steps above would be to reinstall the latest update to v13 and look for the checkbox that prompts you to save all data to your harddrive. Checking that will copy your files to the Hash Inc directory in the Program Files folder on a PC.

It should connect you to your Libraries too.
