Can't get rid of "Previous iTunes Libraries" Banner

When I opened my iTunes 10.5 it asked me to open a pervoius library for some reason. I tried searching for my most recent library to get it back to normal but now at the top on iTunes it says "Previous iTunes Libraries" How do I get rid of that without any big probelms? 

Problem solved i found the solution from another dicussions. I hope this helps because it helped me:
I'm not sure if this is new with iTunes 9, but the words you're seeing at the top of your library are the name of the folder where your "iTunes Music.itl" file is located. If it reads "Previous iTunes Libraries" then you must be using using an .itl file that is located in the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder, not the normal "iTunes" folder.
I can't tell you when your iTunes changed to this .itl file, but it could have happened before upgrading to iTunes 9 and you're just noticing now (if I'm right in that this "Title" is a new feature).
Look around your computer and see if you find another .itl file in the "iTunes" folder. Does it have a more recent date than the .itl file in the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder? If so, then you can change .itl files by closing iTunes and then re-start it while holding the Opt key (Shift for Windows) -- keep holding the Opt key until you see the prompt, at which point you should select "Choose Library" and navigate out of the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and over to the "iTunes" folder and select the .itl file there.
If the .itl file in the iTunes folder has an older date, then you've probably been using a different .itl file. Find the most recent dated copy and move that to the iTunes folder, then use the Opt-start method to change iTunes to the new file location.

    How can I get rid of the iTunes logo after updating my iPhone to iOS 6

    Absolute garbage.
    This abysmal excuse "Always have been built in apps" is irrelevant. NOTHING should be tied to the OS of even
    a phone so tightly that you can't get rid of it. NONE of the apple crap apps do I use, but they use space on MY phone.
    I want the **** things gone.

  • Can I get rid of my iTunes and go back to an older version?

    I have had too many problems with my newer versions of iTunes. I just want to go back to an older version where I didn't have any problems. I want to go back about 2-3 versions. My dad has it on his because he never updated it and he has no problems at all.
    Right now I have version 7.1.1.5
    Thanks.

    I had the exact problem. It would get to about 80% "updating library" then get stuck there. I went through all the "advised solutions" and then after days of looking I found the older version.. here you go: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
    Let me know if it works for you!

  • How can I get rid of my iTunes iOS app library?

    Hi everybody,
    I have a MacBook Pro 2012 (non-retina display).
    In order to give it a speed boost, I added replaced the main hard drive with an SSD.
    The SSD only has a paltry 256GB due to price constraints.
    Now, I find myself with a whopping 90GB 'Others' file on my Mac.
    I've done a little probing, and found that I have an 40GB iOS apps library stowed away in my ITunes Library.
    I deleted the iOS app library and found that my 'Others' dropped back to 50GB.
    I then found out that when I sync my 64GB iPhone, all it's apps get transferred over to my Mac.
    Is there a way to prevent that data from being transferred over?
    Thanks.

    You need to spend it I think. If you buy a app or song with it the rest of the payable amount will be taken from your bank account.

  • I opened my iTunes and most of my music was gone, it said "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top and had playlists from a few years ago (that I've long since deleted). How can I get my old library back?

    Please help!! About a week ago I opened my iTunes to find that all but 200 something of my songs were missing (I had 1,000 something the day before) and all of my current playlists were gone. They've been replaced by playlists that I had nearly four years ago and have long since deleted. It also says "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top. I am SO frustrated because everything is gone!!!

    Nevermind, once I posted this topic it gave me some helpful related topics on the side and I found my answer! Would have been nice if it could have given me those before I posted this!!! Anyway, if anyone else sees this and is having the problem, press and hold the Shift key while double clicking to open itunes on your desktop, then it will ask you to select a library and just choose the one with the most recent date!! (Use the Opt key instead of Shift for Mac users). I owe alot of thanks to the person on the board that helped me, been frustrated for DAYS!!! THANK YOU!

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may need to hide these purchases in the iTunes Store in order to prevent them from displaying on the Apple TV. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I have one random Apple ID that appears only when I go to itunes or App Store.  For everything else I have my Apple ID and password all set.  Can I get rid of this thing?

    This is a Question:  I have one random Apple ID that comes up only when I'm trying to access Apps or iTunes.  I have another Apple ID with a password that works just fine for everything else.  I do not have a password for this random id.  How can I get rid of it?  I can't perform updates is the big issue.

    Jonathan:This seems to make a lot of sense.  My only follow up question is:  will I have any trouble getting iTunes and
    Apps back?
    Will apple charge me?  I really can't remember clearly, but it seems to me that iTunes and Apps were present on the
    iPad2 that was given to me as a gift, but I could be mistaken.
    If I am all clear for getting those two stores back with an easy selection, then I will use your solution.
    Have a great season, my friend- this was driving me nuts!  Thank you so much!

  • HT204053 I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it???

    I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as an email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it??? Or how can I reset the password if the email doesn't exist??? I also tried answering a question (my date of birth) but it says it's wrong.
    I'm really frustrated with the apple id!!!
    Frustrated!!!

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

    When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by.  A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

    OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

    Hi lundjj,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:

    This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
    iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
    Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
    All the best,

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
