So, you stubbornly refuse to do what their experts advise you to do, and they're the problem? Lmao.
seriously you think i stubbornly refused?!?!?!? i spent a combination of 5 hours and 28 minutes on the phone to no avail. nothing fixed and now its having even more issues and still does not work properly. ALLLLL the issues began after all the Sonos and Apple updates and I'm supposed to believe its a wiring issue????? seriously
this began after the most recent update 3 days ago......
So you refuse to do what the experts say, and they are the problem?
3 days ago? The last official update was two WEEKS ago. You must be on the beta program.

What are the bottom messages under Help > Error Log
WOW.....i cannot believe how you continue to think i have REFUSED
1) i have 5 zone system wired into the house in 2012 that has worked seamlessly all this time
2) Apple and Sonos have made updates in the past 3 months
3) my issues began in the pasted 3 months (hummmmm, coincidence?)
4) update 3 days ago from Sonos V. 7.0 and now i have above issue (library of 11K songs doesn't exist now?!?!?!)
5) I have talked to Sonos tech support.....how exactly has my CONFIGURATION changed.
6) look at reviews of sonos app in app store. multiple reviews of the exact same issues, so its just my system screwing up everybody's?!?!?!?
if you are a tech and you think you can fix it, please, by all means, instead of criticizing, help fix it!

everything is hard wired, no wireless.
at least before the last update i could SEE all my libraries, just could not shuffle. error 1002
now AFTER update, i get (see above screen shot)
please, don't think I'm trying to be difficult, i am not computer illiterate either, i just am having a very hard time believing the issues lies in a wiring issue as opposed to a software config issue.

That's very useful information. From the Mac -> System preferences > Sharing
Make sure the computer name is still BilliMac and BilliMac.local (button just undeneath to right)
Turn off file sharing (uncheck it). Wait 60 seconds. Then turn it back on.
In the Sonos program, go to "About My Sonos System" and note the top IP address of the associated player.
From your web browser, go to http://ip.address.of.player:1400/tools.htm
http://192.168.1.22:1400/tools.htm
In the bottom field "Nmblookup", enter BilliMac
See if the correct IP address is returned for your Mac.
Preferably, at least 2 out of the 3 methods should return the correct address.

Good going. That means Sonos can find your Mac. Now do a
Manage > Update Music Library
And see if Sonos sucessfully reindexes
If you get an error, remove and re-add the music library
Otherwise, that should work

Ok. Update library fixed to lose of library on the iMac but it's still missing from my iPhone and there is no longer an update library option on my iphone

The issue still exists of a 1002 error (which is just a generic oops) if I try to shuffle all on both iMac and iPhone.

That sounds like a consequence of being in the Beta program, or the iphone is on IOS 7 or lower. Just opt out and go back to the normal released version if you're on Beta.
Now that things are beginning to work better, how about changing the title of this thread to something a little less dramatic?

Not a 'generic oops' at all. 1002 is a network timeout, which means you have local network problems outwith the Sonos kit. It could be as simple as an IP conflict, so reboot all the devices on your network. If that doesn't succeed submit a diagnostic, post the number, and work with Sonos Support. Seeing as you're on a beta they could turn you over to their beta team.
As for your iPhone it has no admin options, such as 'Update Library', because you're on the beta programme. The Sonos iOS controller cannot participate in a public beta due to Apple's policies. Read the beta notes.
