Having created a new library, I can't find the old one in iTunes

I've got a new iPhone 3GS and an old iPod.
I wanted to create a new library for my podcasts only, and move them to the iPhone - while keeping all my music on the iPod.
I used shift-Start iTunes and then started a new library. I Added the Podcasts Folder to the new library. However, only about half of them seemed to copy over. ... and now I can't get back to the original library. Anyone know how I get back to square one so that I can update my old iPod?
Thanks for any help.
Andrew

Ah, many thanks, I think I understand now! I thought the 'library' would be where the files were actually stored, like in a book library, but seems that it's really more like an index.
I deleted the whole darn 'iPhone' folder/library, and it asked me to choose another one, and I found the old iTunes one.
I'm marking this thread as 'answered', thanks again, but it was really just a stepping stone to a greater problem, so I'll now open up another thread on that

  • If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, Will I lose my purchases and data?

    If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, my books, songs, docs and all the data that my old Apple ID contained including my purchased Apps will appear in my new Apple ID and its associated Icloud?
    I want to create a new Apple ID but do not lose my data and purchases, How could I do it?

    Are you entering your Existing Email Address for which you have Access and also are you Entering the Password which Matches Apple Requirement ?
    Enter the Email Address that you already have (like Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Live, etc) but you have never used it for creating Apple ID before.
    Passwork Requirement is Minimum 8 Characters, Alpha Numeric and Password should Content atleast 1 Upper Case and 1 Lower Case Letter. You will find the more detail on the same page when Creating Apple Id and iTunes will give you Error if the Password you enter does not match their requirement.

  • HT1420 Feeling really stupid with my new MAC - I can't find the "Store" menu in iTunes as referenced in the support article on how to authorize a computer.  Where is that menu option?  I've looked all over the page, in my account, etc.

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

    I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

    Then you will need the password for the old account in order to update the app.
    apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase the app.

    Hi Boss alboss,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you want to reset an iCloud account password. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information and the available options for resetting the password.

    Hey Hindfromlondon,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.  Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.  
    You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud.  See:
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    What is an Apple ID?
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
    and further down:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Regarding iCloud storage check out
    iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
    I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

    I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

    You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:
    http://iforgot.apple.com
    or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

  • I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID.

    I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID. I've set the new ID for the phone, but it defaults to the old one when asking for a password to update apps.

    That's because all apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.
    To use your new ID with these apps, you'll have to delete them, then repurchase. Or, contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID.

    i want to transfer my fcp to my new macbook.how can i unstall the current one and activate on the another. i just wonder i can't see any serial number on it!!

    Yes.
    It's always useful to keep a backup copy as well in case things go wrong.
    It's much quicker than having to download again.
    You can keep it on hard drives, memory sticks or cards, DVDs etc.

  • New iMac can't find the old iMac via Ethernet

    I just bought a new 27" iMac and I am trying to migrate data from my old iMac.
    I have the two machines hooked together via Ethernet and have Etherenet turned on in the source iMac but the new iMac can't find the old iMac. The pinwheel keeps spinning with no success. What should I do here?

    Gramps wrote:
    What FireWire?
    There is no FireWire port on the new machine so this is a non-starter.
    Unfortunately you didn't read my post very thoroughly. You are correct, the new iMacs do not include FW however your old Mac probably does. For just that reason and more Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which you can use if you opt to use FW Target Disk Mode. You can find the adapter by going to your Apple online store or Amazon carries it to. Here is the Amazon link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366831510&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire+cable
    However as I mentioned use TM or a bootable clone with Migration Assistant. If your old Mac was using any verison of OS X from Leopard (10.5.x) on at the very least you should have a  Time Machine backup!
    Also use Pondiini's guide as AnaMusic suggests, it's THE GUIDE for using Migration Assistant and Setup Assistant. He has also created excellent guides for Time Machine too.

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store
