Access my itunes library from java

i am new to the mac platform, and java programming.
however, i would like to be able to access my itunes library to do various things with it (and dont seem to get on with the syntax used by applescript) but not sure where or how to start!
i have seen a few web pages using activex components to create an itunes instance. is this the only way to access itunes programmatically? seems strange to use activex though, as i thought this was primarily of use within the windows realm...
indicators, tutorials, code snippets would all be an excellant help for me.
thanks,
jingo_man

If you create a new library on the new computer and turn on iTunes Match on that computer using the same Apple ID that you signed up with then your library will be available to download.
However, be aware that there will very likely be mismatches in your cloud library, where songs have matched with slightly different versions.
If you have a backup of your library then you will be better off using that.

    The songs that you want to sync need to be on the "local" storage of the computer being used to sync the iPod.

    Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
    Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule? 
    If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
    A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
    Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive.  Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
    In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
    Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
    Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

  • Can I access my itunes library from a different apple tv

    Can I access my itunes library through my parents apple tv? I would like to show them photos from my library.

    Not unless the iTunes library is on your parent's local network.
    If it is, then configure iTunes and AppleTV to use the same Home Sharing Credentials, and set up Photos to Share under the iTunes Advanced tab.

  • Why can't   i access my itunes library from anywhere?

    Why can't I access all of my iTunes library when I am of at home connected to wifi.. The whole reason I bought iTunes Match was do I could access my entire library from anywhere?

    On iTunes using your computer have you completed the iTunes Match 3-step process?
    If so, within Song view you can enable a field called iCloud status - sorting Songs on this field will show what is available from the cloud.
    It sounds like all you need to do is to enable mobile internet on your iPhone to allow access over 3G as well as WiFi.

  • Accessing an itunes library from different version of itunes

    I recently installed yosemite and with that came iTunes 12 since I have an iPhone 6 with 8.1 I will keep iTunes 12. But I have been having major issues with syncing video files to my iphone 4S(ipod touch now) 7.1.2JB. The files never sync or appear to sync and then when I go to view them on the iphone the size shows up as zero. So I feel like if I go back to an older version iTunes all will be right in the world. I just wonder will I have any issues if I have different versions accessing the itunes library files? Planning on using iTunes 11.4 and iTunes 12.
    TIA

    Open the iTunes preferences, click on the Advanced tab, turn off the option to automatically copy the music to the iTunes Music folder, and then drag the library on the Windows partition to the open iTunes window. This will not transfer playlists and other metadata and will not keep the Mac version of the library in sync.

  • How do I access an iTunes library from different computers?

    Hi
    I have my iTunes Media on a NAS but the library files on my local disk (WIndows 7). Is there any way I can allow my wife to access the same Media folder on the NAS from her laptop (also Windows 7 and on the same network)? Using iTunes server will not allow her to copy the files on to her iPod or into playlists.
    I have tried changing the location of the media to the NAS folder on iTunes in the laptop but it only displays the music that was there on the laptop originally and not the files on the NAS.
    Is there a way around this? I would like to avoid having 2 copies of the files on the NAS - defeats the purpose of having one in the first place.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Cannot access Desktop Itunes Library from Laptop

    I have my Itunes library on my desktop pc which I access from my laptop with my ipod classic with no problems. My wife now has a 4th gen Ipod touch and i am trying to set up her laptop so she can access the same library and manage =her music via a playlist. From what I've read this should be pretty straight forward but I can't get it to work.
    The laptops are running vista and the desktop XP, all with the latest version of Itunes.
    The library was in my account on a user disk on the desktop. The system disk does not have enough room for the library (about 100 GB) so I moved it to a top level directory on the user disk. The user disl is shareable and I have ade the itunes library sharable. When I point itunes on my laptop to the new location I can access the new library. When I point my wife's itunes to the new library, itunes seens to accept it (no error message) but itunes stays on the local laptop library. On both laptops a drive is mapped to the user disk.
    Any ideas what may be going on and how to fix it. I'm assuming itunes can be open on several systems at once? I also have home sharing on.
    Thank,
    George

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    What are you doing when you get this message, are you trying to set up homesharing or trying to access your library.

  • Possible to access your iTunes library from iPod with Homesharing ?

    I have many movies in the library. Is it possible to access them from my iPod ( on the same network at home ) just using home sharing ?

    Yes, although it depends a bit on how your library is organised. If everything is in the iTunes standard folders, libraries are in ...My Documents\My Music\iTunes and all the media in ...My Documents\My Music\iTunes Music then you can share the main iTunes folder over your network. Install iTunes on the laptop, then hold shift immediately after clicking on the iTunes shortcut to get the option to choose or create a new library. Navigate to your network share and open the iTunes Library.itl file. Don't try to access the library from two machines at the same time.
