Creating a second library and loosing access to my original library

I run ITunes in Windows XP
I purchased a Nano IPod for my 11yo Grandson. When I first connected it ITunes started to download My playlists. Then
I found that by pressing the Shift key I could create a new library for his tunes. Unfortunately I have lost access to my own Library and cannot figure a way to get it back.
A Thought:
I cannot understand why ITunes will not just download a selected play list. You don't go the a book Library and expect to come home with all the books. I cannot afford to buy him his own PC
Help Please

I have marked it as answered as I have found out how to resolve my problem. I now have 2 libraries that I can see

  • I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

    I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

    I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
    So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
    What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
    Anything else you can tell us that might help?

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • I want to create a second library with the same account on a separate hard drive....

    Hi,
    I am running out of room on my iMac to store all of my iTunes music and video. I want to create a second library with the same account on a separate hard drive. Will iTunes Match match both libraries ? Will I be able to acess both libraries from all my devices? Can iTunes Match merge them together so I can have easy access to everything?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Unfortunately, you can't.  The primary address for your iCloud account must be a non-Apple email account.  The only exception to this is for former MobileMe subscribers who migrated to iCloud when MobileMe closed, which was 18 months ago.

  • How To Use iTunes Library Manger to Create a Second Library on My HD?

    I have successfully migrated my iTunes library to my external drive. This is great because I've now freed up lots of space on my hard drive! However, I'm now limited to only being able to play my music when the external hard drive is connected to my MacBook, this is not so great.
    When I start iTunes without my external hard drive, my iTunes looks exactly the same, how come iTunes doesn't show up as being empty, when the newly recreated iTunes Music folder contains no music? Of course, once I click on one of the songs, an exclamation mark appears next to it, and I'm told the file cannot be found.
    I've been advised that iTunes library manager is the way to go. I've installed it, but the instructions are baffling me. I want to create a second library on my hard drive so that I can transfer about a third of my library back, so that i can play music when i'm on the go.
    Is there anyone who has been through the same scenario, who can give me clearer instructions than those on the iTunes library manager webpage?
    Thank you,
    Arthur

  • How do I create a second library???

    I am using someone elses computer to add music to my Ipod. She already has I tunes with her library, but I know there's a way to create a second library. Does anyone know how?

    Hold shift when starting iTunes.

  • I published a website using iWeb.  I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

    I published a website using iWeb.  I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

    If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
    Site 1 folder
    Site 2 folder
    Site 3 folder
    index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
    If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
    Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit  to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
    The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
    http://doman_name.com/Site 2
    http://doman_name.com/Site 3

  • Can I create a second calendar and share it with my wife computer

    Did know if I could create a second calendar and share it with my wife computer and iPhone? We both have our own separate iTunes accounts and computers and iPhones

    You should each sign up for iCloud (free):
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/get-started/
    You can then each sync your calendars to iCloud by going to System Preferences>iCloud and checking 'calendars'.
    Now one of you can privately share a calendar with write privileges to the other:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and expand 'Share a private calendar or reminder list with specific people'.

  • How do you create a second library?

  • How can you create a weblogic ID and restrict access within weblogic?

    for e.g. I would like to create an account 'x' in weblogic and give this user access to only 'security realms' within weblogic and NO other functionality.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks.

    In OBIEE 11g the weblogic roles follow the same type of logic as we all have come to enjoy from role based security.
    There are some default roles in WLS such as Deployer, Administrator, etc. defined by default in web logic.
    You can create a WebLogic user using the DefaultProider, Security Realm > Realm > User >New ...
    and then add that user to a group or directly to a new Policy Role.
    Take a look at the "Administrators" Group for an example of how it relates to the global "Admin" role under the Role & Policies tab.
    Finally, I don't think that you can isolate just the Security Realm for a Web Logic user. Take a look at this document to see what aspects you can provide privileges on,

  • HT1386 How do I sync two libraries from ITunes to my IPod Touch? I recently added a second library. How do I sync it and access it thru my IPod Touch?

    I have created a second library in ITunes containing only Christmas music. I want to sync it to my IPod Touch but maintain my regular ITunes library as well. How do I sync both libraries and how do I access them thru my IPod?

    You can only sync with one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries.. See:

  • How do i find my library when a second library was created and now shows up everytine i login to itunes?

    I originally created a library in itunes for myself. Then i created a second library for my husband. now i try to go find my original library and cant seem to find where i would retrieve it from. I've tried all the help items in home sharing but must be missing something.
    please help!

    Hold down shift as you start iTunes. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose. Original library is probably at <User Profile>\Music\iTunes.

  • Problem after creating second library

    So I finally decided to create a second library where I placed my aac rips for my ipods. Everything seemed fine.
    When I restarted iTunes for the first time after that procedure I held down the option key to pull up the "choose library" dialog box. This is where the problems start. It just directed me to the root of my external HD where my library is held. I thought a dialog box or something would come up letting me choose between my newly created "IPOD LIBRARY" and my regular library. No such luck so I just pointed to the main iTunes folder and iTunes started to launch but with an "updating iTunes" box and it started doing its thing(Why? I have no idea). Keep in mind I have 5000 or so albums in my library. In the background I noticed at the bottom of the interface that it is showing WAY less albums, etc. than I know I have. I didn't want to do a force quit or anything while it was updating because I thought I might corrupt everything. What it did was load an old .xml file from 10 months ago so anything I've imported since last April is not loading into my library. I've tried to restart and choose a newer .xml file in hopes of it being the correct one but what it's loading IS the newest file. What the **** happened? I don't want to lose the countless hours I've spent inserting all sorts of custom tags and groups and such.
