Adding new library

Just bought my wife an Ipod Nano. I already have Itunes on my computer which I use for my existing Ipod. I hoped that by plugging the new Nano into my computer Itunes would automatically create a new library for the new Ipod. It didn't. How do I create a new library, which itunes will recognize as belonging to the new Nano??????

There's a number of different ways to do this. If you want a completely separate library, where you and your wife do not share any music, you can create a new user account from your OS and setup iTunes fresh with that new login name.
If you just want to use the same library as your wife, you can set the different iPods to sync with different playlists. The following article gives a better overview and has links to how to perform these specific steps.

ITunes not displaying music, etc since adding new library

I have had my iPhone library on my laptop for some time, and could always see my list of songs in the Music folder on iTunes, list of moveis, apps, podcasts, etc. Well, we gave our son an iPod Touch for Christmas, and I created a new libary for him on the laptop, following the instructions on Apple's website, intending to hold the "Shift" key down when syncing either device to get the proper library.
However, as above, I can't even see my stuff anymore. The screen shows the folders on the left side, but the centre of the screen(where I would expect to see the list)just shows a kind of "introductory" message, for example: "Music. Songs and music videos you add to iTunes appear in Music in your iTunes library. To play a song, just double-click it." Then it gives a couple of options to either watch a tutorial on downloading music, shopping for music in the iTunes store, or watching a tutorial on importing a CD. As an experiment, I tried to add a new song, from the Music folder on my laptop. Afterwards the Music folder shows that one song. It still syncs, and when I check my phone, all of my songs are still there (I was worried they'd be gone).
I am tired of this two library business, it's a hassle and my son never really syncs his iPod anyhow. What I would like to do is get things back the way they were before (one library - mine). I have been googling this all morning and trying various things, to no avail.
If anyone could help me, I sure would appreciate it

Software updates to my OS seemed to have done the trick.

I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

HT1473 I got my MAC PRO installed with iOS lion and since then i'm unable to add music on my iTunes and i tried adding to library option but still it copies and at the end it stays empty, doesn't even open new songs on it. any suggestions ?

hey,
I've rebooted my mac before installing new ios lion, so after everything was done i copied my data back to my mac book pro, then simple clicked on adding to library option in itune and it only synced half of the track and rest simply didnt copy, i thought maybe some error occured and i tryed the same procedure again but its not adding more tracks in it. and i just notice when ever i try play a new song through my data it does not open in itune these are the same tracks and songs i been listening to since ages on different note books and pods..
Help me i've tryed everything but nathing seems to be working. and my itune is uptodated =S

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I added a new iTunes account. Wanted new library, did it, but now my old library dissappeared and I can't retrieve it on my laptop. How do I find it. Is it possible to have two different accounts with 2 different libraries and go from one to the other?

I added a second account to my iTunes on my laptop. I wanted to give 2nd acct. its own library. I did by holding down shift key and going to start menu, choosing all programs then iTunes, then iTunes again. It asked me: choose library or create another iTunes library. I chose the later. I renamed it and saved in My Music. It automatically started up iTunes and brought me to the new library, but I cant get back to the old library with all my purchases, etc... What do I do to get the old library back? Computer illiterate, so please be kind. Thanks

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

Problem with adding Sun JSF RI v1.2 as a new library in JDeveloper 10.1.3.1

Hi,
I have a problem with adding a latest JSF 1.2 RI from Sun (https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/files/documents/1866/44998/jsf-1_2_03.zip) to JDeveloper as a new library.
I created a new User library and added into it jsf-impl.jar and jsf-api.jar from JSF 1.2 RI.
Then I try to create two new JSP Tag libraries based from .tld files.
When a .tld file is placed in "TLD File:" field there is no information below about Library Version and Required JSP Version. If I check "Execute Tags in JSP Visual Editor" and click "Customize" button - list of tags in "Customize Tag Library" window is empty.
I have errors when I try to use JSF Tags from this new library in JSP page like :
"Can't create tag instance: f:view (class: null). Make sure, that the tag class or a library contained this class is available in this application"
(free translation to English)
Is this possible to add JSF RI v1.2 as another library in Jdeveloper 10.1.3.1 ?
thanks for help

Hi,
This solution is not exactly for Jdeveloper 10.1.3.x I think.
- "Create a JSF system library." section, point 2. - there is not possible to add library in folder other than User I see, so I added it in User folder.
- "Register the JSF JSP tag libraries." section, point 5. - in JD 10.1.3 there is no dialog box, I checked checkbox "Show Tag Library in Palette". A new library was added to User folder but there is no new libraries in component Palette.
Even as I use "Edit tag libraries .." from Component Palette context menu and add manually new tag libraries to selected, there is no libraries in Component Palette after it.
I feel so problem is with different .tld files format, not with adding libraries method.

While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

Imac Snow Leopard .....While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

Thanks again baltwo,
Thank you all very much,
Strangely enough even though I had gotten the " Install failed....Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer....The install could not copy the necessary support files" I had left it on the screen and left the room for awhile. I walked back into my computer room a few minutes ago and the window on the screen stated that the SL OS 10.6.4 had successfully installed. I am now very carefully checking things out to make sure the fonts are where they should be. With the exception of some updating it appears all may be well.
PS. Below is a note I was writing to Kurt (also assisting me) to try and detail what had happened. Added it in case it could be of any value to you
Kurt,
Thank you for response. following is series of events to my best recollection.
I would typically not have been this stupid/ignorant but was doing this in a hurry with someone asking me questions...wasn't paying attn. to what I was doing
• downloaded new fonts
• opened downloaded fonts, clicked font icons to open and install them.
• typed "fonts" in spotlight (with the intention of moving new fonts into font folder)The Spotlight results window revealed 5 or 6 font folders. I ignorantly started to try a clean up by installing all fonts into a single folder (not thinking about system fonts)
Sometimes when you are moving a folder the window you moved it from will jump around..well this occurred and I mistakenly released the folder on the desk top. This caused a copy to be made. After some investigation I realized it was a copy of the required system fonts that were still located in the original "spotlight results" window.
• I attempted to delete the copy..when I did an administrator password box appeared I entered the password and the result was both system font folders were deleted (the original & the desk top copy I erroneously made)
• Now windows open but are blank with sometimes faded mini sized icons. If I click one of the mini icons i get a new blank window. I am unable to give any instruction, have total blank menus, dialog boxes, etc.
I can open the some of the items that have icons in the apple dock at bottom of page in the

Help! I accidentally added a new library and can't get into my old one!

So we recieved this Passport (a hard drive, like a USB Mass Storage) with a TON of music on it. So I was going through the music, manually clicking-and-dragging each music file I wanted into a folder on the desktop. The folder was underneath iTunes.
As I was dragging a Justin Timberlake song, I accidentally dragged it into the iTunes icon. A window popped up and said something along the lines of: "This something cannot support something and iTunes will need to create a new library. Yes. No." So I pressed yes and continued dragging music files into the folder on my desktop.
Later, as I was transfering the music in the folder to iTunes, I finished and pressed sync. Yet, when I looked on my iPod after the sync, none of the music showed up. So I checked my library and it was a completely new library, with none of my old songs on it--- just the new ones!
So as I frantically fumbled around iTunes for a few hectic hours, all I accomplished was getting all of my old music into the new library, and finding my old library.
During that time, I had pressed iTunes help at one point and it had told me that if there are two libraries in iTunes, you can only view the other libraries songs and videos. So when I go to my old library, the songs (titles, album names, and artists) are faded out (grey-colored instead of black)!
So now I have all my new songs and old songs in the second library and also all the new songs and old songs in a playlist. The only way I can even VIEW my OLD library is by connecting my iPod and viewing the old library while it's faded.
How do I combine them? How do I get rid of the old library and just use the new one? HELP!!!

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Adding 10 gig to new library

up until now ihave stored and used my iTunes on my PC. I have about 2 GB on an small external drive connected to my iBook.
I am getting a much bigger drive and would be over the moon if someone could tell me the best way to transfer all the tunes in both libraries into a new library on my new hard drive. I have my PC and iBook networked so physically moving the tunes isnt the problem, only getting them all into the one library so i can play, organise and fill my shuffle all from my iBook.
If anyone can make sense of what i am saying................. PLEASE help.

Creating a new library from a DVD Burn library

I have my entire library of photos on my iMac in iPhoto 6.0.6. I recently spent quite a bit of time cleaning up what had been a rather messy, unorganized, photo library. My organizational method consisted of consolidating old film rolls which were inherited from original imports that were in different folders by moving groups of photos into single "film rolls" for older years and making fewer rolls for the last few years. I then went back through and corrected photo dates for a bunch of images that were scanned in, etc. I downloaded Keyword Manager, which I like a lot, and applied keywords to every photo in my collection. I also deleted a bunch of old photos which were too similar to better shots or simply not worth keeping. Once I finished all of this I had my new library consisting of 1892 pictures, which I hoped to backup and allow to serve as a "gold master copy" of all of my photos to date. In browsing the database in Finder, I noted that there were a lot of images in the "Original" folders that were not in the library. Some of these were images I had deleted in the library. (I know better than to do anything through the finder other than browse. I know that to maintain integrity of the library it is necessary to only perform actions through iPhoto.) I did a database rebuild and asked iPhoto to recover orphaned files which did nothing. I really wanted this database to be in pristine condition since I was using it as my master copy, but could not figure out how to do away with old unwanted images in the "originals" folders. I went ahead and created a DVD library with "Share -> Burn", and voila, the new iPhoto Library that was created on the DVD appeared to be "clean" with only the 1892 pictures in my viewable library existing in the Originals folder. OK, so far so good. I then took the DVD I had burned and attempted to replicate my library on my iBook which had a clean install of iLife '06 on it. When I launched iPhoto with the DVD in place it showed me an empty hard drive library and the burned library from the DVD. At first I attempted to just copy individual Film Rolls from the DVD to the local library. While this worked in bring the images over, the keywords became all jumbled. The resulting photos would have keywords attached which did not belong to them and were different from what was on the DVD. I then deleted the iBook library and tried copying the entire iPhoto Library folder from the DVD to the iBook via the Finder. When I relaunched iPhoto, presto all the photos were in my local library with keywords, film rolls and other metadata intact. However in browsing the library I came across a few photos which would cause iPhoto to crash when I tried to edit them. This was a consistent behavior on specific images. Reading through the forums I came across the color profile bug and through testing verified that this was not the problem. Meanwhile back on the iMac I could edit the photos in question with no problem. I verified that the image had not been corrupted during the DVD burn as well. The files are identical between the iMac and the iBook. I know this is a long drawn out post, but if anybody has read this far, here are my questions ...
1) What is the best way to go about creating a "clean" database with internal integrity after a doing a lot of edits and metadata changes? Shouldn't the burn to DVD do what I want?
2) How come when I copied subsets of my library over to a new machine from the DVD, the keywords seemed to get all jumbled? Is it a matter of indexing them? If I added all the keywords to an empty library before copying the images over, would it work? Is there not a way to just copy portions of a DVD library into another library?
3) Any ideas on the crash while attempting to edit problem? The image will load as a thumbnail, and then briefly flas the full size image, before iPhoto crashes and pops up a dialog asking if I want to restart it.
Thanks for staying with me!

Problems solved with iPhoto Manager's rebuild function! Thanks to Brian Webster of Fat Cat Software. Great program!

Adding new date field to already loaded data target.

Hi,

with regards,
sreekanth.

Sreekanth,
If Record creation date is the right field for deriving fiscal year, Why cant you derive the year from the date...by using automatioc time conversion...?? In update rules...??
For exising data, you can do loop back to populate the data. see the below doc, for more info:

New library or new project?

I Have just started using FCP X after using FCP 7 for many years. I went on a course of 3 days and came out more confused than ever. One mystery is this, the tutor said, "YOU MUST NEVER START A NEW PROJECT WITH 'FILE NEW PROJECT' YOU MUST START 'NEW LIBRARY' AND THEN IMPORT YOUR MEDIA AND ONLY THEN CAN YOU START NEW PROJECT!" All well and good except last night I watched a good tutorial on FCP X hosted by a very good teacher and the first thing he said was, "To get started, go to file and start New Project, create an event and then import your media to this," I nearly fell over backwards in shock, because this seemed incredibly simple.Within 15 minutes of this tutorial I had learned more than 2 days sitting at a desk.
Can anyone advise who is correct, my tutor from Mars or the YouTube tutorial? BTW all my projects start life from SD Cards with HD material on them, in this case some with 50 FPS and some with 30 FPS (action cam) it must all be finally exported in Pro Res LT 25P 1920 x 1080.

FCP X when newly installed will by default give you one Library and one Event in that Library.
You can add a Project to this default setup immediately.
However, you can create new Libraries and an Event will be added, any Library will always have one Event. Try deleting the last one, it won't allow it.
As Russ points out: Libraries are the main container in which Events reside. Events are where Projects go.
Any Library can have new Events added in addition to the default.
Any Event can have multiple Projects.
Regarding the Timeline and Project settings:
The first clip that is added to a blank Timeline dictates the Project settings based on the clip specs. eg a 50P 1920 x 1080 inserted clip creates a PAL HD 50P Project.
You can override this auto select setup by manually creating a Project.
When Exporting you can change to codec to ProRes LT regardless of the origin.

How do I take an iTunes library from an older HD and dump them into a new library on a Macbook?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro back in March 2012 to replace a deceased iMac G5. Assuming all my music was dead and gone, I began building my new library on my Macbook ever since. Recently, I was able to remove the hard drive from my older G5 and found out it still worked. Now my problem is that though I'm able to add all my old missing songs into my new Macbook, it's missing "Date Added, Plays, and Playlists". I tried copying over the "iTunes Library.itl" file, since I read that this is where all your info is stored, but it's asking me to replace the already existing iTunes Library.itl with the older one I'm trying to import.
Replacing the newer .itl file with the older will only create a new problem with the info of the songs that were already on my laptop.
Any one have suggestions?
Thanks a billion!
