Export library problem

Hello
I have two Mac computers (one 10.6 and one with 10.7) in two differents places and one HD containing my itunes library.
I would like to be able to use this library one my two computers without duplicating my library.
I made every settings to locate the library on my two computers and it works, but ...
Let's say I modify my library by modifying the 'genre' of a record and my computer 1. Then I choose 'export library' and re-import the created file in itunes on the computer 2.
The problem is that there are mistakes on the modified files : for instance only 10 out of 12 songs have the new 'genre' and the two other ones have the old 'genre'.
I tried several times but no changes.
Any solution ? Maybe there's another way to

Help! Can't save to disc/backup my iTunes! NO OPTION to save OR back up to disc my iTunes Library appears in the toolbar when I select 'File', then 'Library'. Just 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...', 'Import Playlist...', and 'Export Playlist...'

Help! I can't save to disc OR backup my iTunes Library! iTunes support instructions are to simply select 'File', then 'Library', then select 'Back Up to Disc', but when I try to the only options that appear are 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...' then below those are 'Import Playlist...' and 'Export Playlist...' (which appears in the list, but I cannot select). No option to save my library appears at all. Just those four. I've had no problems syncing, playing, adding or purchasing with my account and my iTunes version is up to date. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and what I should do so I can save my library?

BW output into PDF through ADS or The SAP BI Export Library

Dear fellow gurus,
I would like to meet somebody who has any experience with Adobe forms for BI/ BW.
My colleagues are struggling with some performance problem on their BW project, where they want the ADS (adobe document services for adobe forms output) to print 400 pages for them. I don´t think that is a good idea (bad design, but I cannot do anything about it) but would like to help them.
They think SAP Note 1112132 (The SAP BI Export Library) could help, I don´t see the point. Looks like this tool is not quite "ready" for the use. And if I would like to use something like that, I would write that myself using iText or something. But I would like to hear some opinions first, before I will tell them anything.
Maybe there is something special for PDF reporting for BW? Or any BW + Adobe guidelines? Or anything relevant for me to read to get the idea?
Thank you, Otto

Didn´t find any solution/ opinion/ experience. Closing. Otto

When i export library,will it keep the play count?

when i export library,will it keep the play count so it is the same when i add to another itunes?
PS iTunes 7 Scuck thats why I want to keep play count so it stays the same when I unistall 7 to put 6 on.
Windows XP

This problem has also been plaguing me today. Here are my specifics and how I solved it (Expanding on what Quentin Holmes mentioned)
CONFIRMED WORK AROUND! The .m4v file gets created while encoding, but Adobe Media Encoder does not re-pack it back into the .mp4 unless you select the "Export Audio" in Adobe Premier export prior to queuing. If you don't want audio, mute the individual tracks and still export audio.
My details:
Just bought a GH4, shooting 4k 25fps MOV, trying to simply trim a few clips and export them as H.264 .mp4 with no audio. (By the way it would be nice if we could export 4k .MOV files from the camera back into .MOV once finished editing, but in premier that frame resolution is not supported)
Specs: Mac Mini, Quad Core i7, 16GB Ram, OSX 10.9.4, Adobe Premier Pro CS6 6.0.5, Adobe Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
Hope that helps anyone with the same prob

Help! Itunes library problems of all sorts...

I've been exhaustively searching for ways to merge an old library with play counts etc from a backup to my new itunes library. That still is one question (I could find help for two computers, but couldn't figure out how to use two files on the same computer-ie back up and the active library) however now in trying to do that I have really screwed things up I think.
Here are all my problems- the most recent being that I ended up trying "import playlist" with my xml file...which resulted in a ton of duplicates and still no play counts etc. So now I am hoping to back up to my last library. I had been "exporting library" to back it up before trying these things...
however the problem I was having trying the "option" trick is still in effect. Which is that I do the option, I pick "choose the library" and then all of my .xml files are grey and unchoosable.
I think that I could choose the itunes library file that does NOT say .xml from my computer-- however, I had just created the whole library from my external harddrive, and I don't find one of those files there, only on my mac directly. So will this file be the one that has the thousands of songs I just spent the last days importing? (I did that before realizing the importance of the play count!).
My harddrive crashed before all of this, so I just have the backup file that is a grey square, not the color itunes logo that I am seeing on my computer now (and this is what isn't letting me choose it).
So I guess here are my questions:
Why can't I choose the .xml files?
Does the "export library" actually create a useable backup? If so, how do I restore it?
Then if I can fix this mess- my original goal- how to keep my newest library, while importing play counts/info from a backup .xml file.
MUCH thanks to anyone who can offer me some assistance!!!!!!!!

Or the other option I am wondering about is if I can take all of the info off of my ipod, and then sync that with the new library?
Or, if need be, erase the current library. take the info from the ipod to create the base library that would have my play counts etc. However, then I would need to merge that with my master music data files, and there would be no way at this point to know which are on the ipod and which are not- so I'd need to be able to merge without duplicates.
What would you all suggest??

How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!

Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

The missing library problem.

I understand that there's already a lot of threads about the sudden disappearance of iTunes libraries, however I'm typing this up because I'd like to point out in a bit more detail what I'm seeing happening to my computer, and maybe have a collective of what's going on. This issue has happened to me five times in the last two months since I've updated to iTunes 11. After searching on google I know the missing library problem has existed since the early 2000s; why this glitch has yet to be fixed 13 years later is beyond me. I have personally never had this problem until updating to 11, and seeing the many other threads on here this appears to me to be an issue with this version of the software more than it has been in previous versions.
Before I continue, I have tried the following to fix it:
Simply readded my whole library. It was only wiped again a few weeks later.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That didn't work either, so it's not just an updating problem.
What I haven't tried
Changing where on my computer iTunes is installed. I have no idea where on the computer might be better or if it will change anything. I have iTunes installed on its default location on my local C: disk.
Importing the music directly from my iPod into iTunes. Can this be done? If so, how? Not everything on my iTunes is a store purchase, most of it is imported CDs and also amazon purchases too. So I don't know if the transfer purchases option works. While this wouldn't fix this current issue, I would like to know how to do this if possible since it would just be a quick fix whenever this happens.
What is happening:
So each time this has happened, what occurs is that like many other people, one day I open my iTunes and everything is in order. Then the next, for no reason, all of my libraries are gone but the music is still on my computer, organized in their files the way iTunes had them done so upon importing. I can't use the .itl files in the "previous libraries" folder because they have also been re-written. Upon opening them, even if their last save was on a day I know everything was in working order, opening them does nothing but give me the same blank default page.
What isn't mentioned in a lot of the posts regarding this issue, is the sudden crop of temporary files in the iTunes folder.
The ones that have cropped up for me personally are the following:
iT 1.tmp
iT 2.tmp
iT 3.tmp
iT 4.tmp
Temp file 1.tmp
Temp file 2. tmp
Those were not there the last time I used iTunes, and they're never there on the days I've used it before and it has worked correctly. However every time my library is wiped, these files suddenly appear without fail, every time. I can't open them, I can't do anything with them except delete them. I believe I remember reading somewhere that this might be an issue regarding with how the program is saving the progress of your library changing, and that the temp files are there until it can "officially" save what has happened to your library. While I didn't change anything in my library in the last couple of weeks, I'm assuming this also counts things like play count.
My own personal opinion
Seeing just how many threads with this issue are popping up, this leads me to believe that this isn't just a problem with my personal computer or my personal install of iTunes 11. These temp files also lead me to believe that as well. In other words, whatever glitch has existed with iTunes since the early 2000s is for some reason running rampant in version 11.
TL;DR:
Please developers, actually look at this library glitch within the program itself. It can't just be an individual user's problem because way too many people are experiencing it.

No worries. You've probably run into one the other threads I've posted to but I'll add my thoughts here anyway...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Within itunes, can I use the file/library/export library option to transfer itunes to a new pc

Within itunes, can I use the file/library/export library option to transfer itunes to a new pc? I have read the other options but they will be difficult for me to action. Can this be used as an easier route?

No. See this migrate iTunes library post.

When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching. Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod too. Can I move these back?

When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching. Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod touch too. Can I move these back?

weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
how weird is that?
oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
cheers

BI Export Library vs. ADS (Adobe Document Services)

Does anybody know why SAP added the Export Library as an alternative to ADS for BI? I mean, are there pros and cons to using one over the other? Right now we're using the Export Library and it seems to work fine for broadcasting and Print View in BEx web. It's tempting to stay with it, but notes mention that ADS is the standard, and Export Library is an alternative option for BI only.
Am I missing out on some functionality? Maybe Integrated Planning still requires ADS? I assume Adobe Interactive Forms also require ADS. Anything else?

Anyone have insight into this?

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 - Music library problems...

Hello,
Just bought a Nokia E5, looks to be a sweet phone so far...
Only, Ovi Suite is just annoying. Very slow on communicating with the phone (USB connection) and some big problems.
Impossible to delete music from the library ! How is that ?? And also the library takes ages to add a new folder.
Also, not seeing the playlist i've made on the phone ? Either on mass storage connection, in the playlist folder of the phone, nothing... But should be on a other threat.
Hope you can solve the library problem because it's quite annoying.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

@satari
Yeah, alright already!
We get that without you plastering this message over EVERY single thread dealing with issues of that truly useless and pathetic piece of software called Ovi-Suite.
Especially since the new version DOES NOT SOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES AT HAND IN THE THREADS YOU MASS PASTED INTO!
Ovi-Suite 3.x still no longer syncs music, which IMHO is a basic function. Who on earth wants to be forced to manually update the phone playlists and songs whenever songs are added on the PC? That is beyond backwards.
Hello? It's 2011, not 1991.
Ovi Suite 3.x still randomly refuses to add songs to the library on the PC (e.g. it skips several songs from an album folder, yet they play fine when added to the phone manually outside Ovi-Suite), an issue that can only be corrected by deleting the entire library on the PC and recreating it. A "repair library" function is notoriously absent.
I'd like a so called Smartphone to make tasks easier and more comfortable instead of harder.
Newer Nokia handsets may be slightly less bad, but the N97 with Ovi-Suite is still the smartphone/desktop combo from hell.
The fruit phone/ITunes combo is sadly restricted by the greed and desire to control everything of Apple, but at least the products work reliably and consistently for the most part. The same is true for 'Droid devices.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

Older itune version 10.6 trying to reinstall, library problem?

I reinstalled older itune version 10.6 on Win7 after I reformatted the drive.
1. Now i have a library problem? the itunes will not open and i get a message "itunes library.itl" is from newer pgm. how can i work around it?
2. i want to restore my itunes music library like it was before with the old libray i had from my backup, how can i do that?

your serial number is for an upgrade version. you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.
if that's not working, what version are you trying to install and why didn't the above work?

Exporting library off hard drive?

This is my first post here, so please pardon me if this is the wrong place to post this, or the question has already been answered.
My computer is old and can't handle ITunes, so I'm using my mum's computer. However, I don't want to use up her hard drive by keeping my library of music on it. Is there some way I can either delete music, or export it somewhere else so that her hard drive isn't taken up by it? I tried going to file, library, then export library and putting it onto a cd-rw, but it didn't do anything. Any advice?

From what I understand in those directions though, that's only to move your music from one location to another that's still on the same hard drive.
That's not true. See the second paragraph of the summary.

Is Outside In's PDF Export library's function EXOpenExport thread-safe?

I'm writing a C++ wrapper, for Node.js, around the Outside In PDF Export library, on Ubuntu Linux. Node.js has a single threaded event loop and therefor any long-running processing is done on a worker thread. So, my wrapper is calling all of the PDF Export methods inside of this worker thread. I mention this so that you can be sure of two things: this is a threaded environment, and all PDF Export functions are being called on the same worker thread. Also, I am not making use of any redirected IO or PDF Export-handled threading. I've initialized the library specifying to use no threads. So all of this processing should be occuring within the thread that I call the functions on.
Everything seems to go fine when exporting a single PDF or even maybe two or three in quick succession. When I up the number of PDFs that I try to export to 5+, I receive a SIGSEGV segementation fault from within the OIT libs. The back trace is below:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I'll explain the back trace a little. The function on #11 is the function inside my code. That is the function in which I call all of the OIT lib functions. The functions on lines #12 and higher are the Node.js-related threading functions, setting up the thread to run my code's function. Functions on lines #10 down to #1 are all the OIT-called functions.
In the documentation for PDF Export, it says that if you're going to be using this library inside a threaded environment, then you need to call the init and deinit functions each time within the worker thread. I'm doing this in my code, which you can see here: https://github.com/ryancole/topdf/blob/master/src/topdf.cc#L29-L74
Is there anything else that I need to be setting that would cause this? I'm only specifying the font directory, explicitly. Are these libraries actually thread-safe? It doesn't look like they are.

Well, upon receiving a second opinion on the meaning of the phrasing in the documentation, I have got the library working in a threaded environment now. The first parameter to DEInitEx was supposed to specify to enable PTHREAD support, which I did not have. I thought that it meant something other than it actually does.

Exporting Library (CSV)

I need to get an export of my library formatted as a CSV file. I've read somewhere that there should be an option to export your library to a txt file which would allow me to convert to CSV but I can't find such an option.
I'm using iTunes 8.1 on a Mac OSX 10.5.7

Just to add to your last comment about the XML, it would be really helpful if Apple could label the 'Export Library...' option as 'Export Library as XML...' as that is all you get with this!
The help is as usual brief about this and merely mentions that other applications (like what & how?) could use this XML... certainly didn't help me when I was trying to export my whole library to another place(!)
The hidden option of selecting other libraries by holding down alt/option key when double clicking the iTunes app should really be available in the menus somehere, e.g. so you can choose what library you want to use for the next time you start iTunes. I reckon 99% of iTunes users don't even know that they can run multiple libraries...
And yeah quite honestly a CSV export is probably more useful than XML to most people anyway...
