Help! FR find itune library from another account, not mine!

My Mac Pro has two accounts, and if I use FR to play music, it only shows playlist from another account, not mine! how can I fix it?

Well, after troubleshooting here in the Front Row forum for a year, I've never seen that problem from anyone else. That's why I don't think you're going to find much support here. AppleCare Support will charge you $49 (in the U.S.) to troubleshoot a software issue after 90 days. I'm not sure what the charge is in Canada. You could buy an AppleCare Protection Plan (you can anytime within the first year of purchase) and then get free telephone support for software issues, like this.

    Physically merge? Yes.
    All you need to do is move the files into your Library folder.
    Adding the playlists to your Mac is something else.

  • Transferring iTunes Library from another PC

    My wife and I have an iPhone each with our individual music collection on each. My music library is on my Macbook Air but my wife's is on an Acer laptop that has now broken so she is unable to add any new CD's she purchased to her library, I've tried logging into my Mac as a new user and using a different iTunes but it gives a message that all existing content will be wiped off the phone as it is a new library.
    Please can someone help me with a solution as want to avoid having the Acer repaired?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.  Media ripped from a CD cannot be transferred this way.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Make sure you buy a backup drive.  Some day it will be your Mac with both your accounts that will not start and then both of you will be unhappy.

  • Help please Lost iTunes library from my MacBook Including both itunes purchased songs and uploaded from CDs. everything is still on my iPad is there a way to transfers it please.

    there is a list of the songs on my MacBook but the media files have disappeared, also from my back up. 
    Tried to down load from iTunes Match but no success.
    Any help much appreciated

    iTunes won't transfer or download a track if there is an entry in the library for it, even if that entry is no longer attached to a file.

  • Help with Moving Entire Library from one account to another - Same computer

    Ok. I have read and searched but have had little luck with finding info on how to...
    I have 1 computer, an imac. We have two logins and each have a itunes account. How can I move EVERYTHING from one account to the other? I just want to close up one of the accounts and have everything in one place under the same library.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    Hi JS,
    I'm assuming that you simply want to move all of your music from one library to the other and operate iTunes ONLY from THAT library. If this is the case then follow these steps..
    1. Make sure that you place your iTunes Library to be copied into a location where you can access it while logged in from the OTHER account. The only two options you have are the "Public Folder" ~Users/YourUsername/Public or the "Shared Folder" ~Users/Shared. These are the only two folders where you have access when logged into another account.
    To do this open iTunes and go to preferences, selecting the "Advanced" tab and then the "General" tab. You will see the location of your iTunes Music folder and next to it a "Change" Button. Select the change button and a window will appear where you can choose to navigate to the desired NEW location for your Music Library. Once you have navigated to either the "Public Folder" or the "Shared Folder, select "Choose" and your library will be moved to the new location. Before you close the preference window make sure you have "Copy Files to iTunes music Folder when adding to Library" and "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" both CHECKED. Now close that window.
    2. Go to the iTunes menu again, this time under the FILE menu, there you will see the option to "Export Library." Click this option and a window will appear with a "Library XML" file highlighted at the top of the window. Change the name if you like or leave it as it is, but make sure you leave the xml at the end. Save this document to your Hard Drive. ( Click on your Hard Drive in the window and save the document there)
    3. Log out of this account and into your second account.
    4. Open itunes and go the Preferences in the menu bar. Again select the "Advanced" tab, and then the "General" Tab. Make sure that the same two boxes are checked. "Add Files to itunes Folder" and "Keep iTunes Folder Organized" Select OK and close the window.
    5. Now go the File Menu in iTunes and "Add to Library." In the pop-up window navigate to the Location of your first account (either your Public or Shared Folder) and select "Open." This will add all of your music from the original account.
    6. Now go back to the iTunes File menu and select the "Import" option. Navigate to the location of the xml file you saved inside your Hard Drive, select it and choose "Open". This will transfer all of your playlists and restore your iTunes library to its exact same state as the first account...
    It took a little while, but that's IT. Now if you no longer desire to use the original iTunes library, just log back into your first account and drag the iTunes Music folder in your "Public" or "Shared" Folder to the trash and delete it. Your new library already holds copies of those files so you won't lose anything.
    Hope this helps you achieve what you desire..
    Regards,
    Ben.

  • Help! Transfering iTunes library from Windows iTunes to iTunes on a new Mac

    I am sure others have asked this -- I was not able to find it though:
    I have a Windows machine on which my whole iTunes library sits (both ripped CD's and downloaded music and TV from iTunes).
    I need to move that to my new Mac.
    I read the article about using my iPod to do this, but it doesn't seem to work across Mac/Windows. The computers are on the same home LAN. My old machine doesn't have a DVD writer or CD writer, so I can't use that option.
    So, is there an easy way to just transfer it over to my new machine?
    Also, what do I need to do (and in what order) about de-authorizing my old computer?
    The Apple help and online resources are shockingly unhelpful on this topic. Thanks for any instructions you can provide.
    Thank you!
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    After you mount the drive, I'd recommend copying the folder over to your Mac desktop. From there, set iTunes to Copy Files on Import (under preferences). Select File -> Add to Library then choose the whole music folder you copied to your desktop. iTunes will load all the songs into your iTunes library and copy them to the appropriate folder in your hard drive.
    When that process is complete, you should be able to delete the folder from your desktop and all your songs will be in your iTunes library.
    Hope this helps!

  • PLEASE HELP? TRANSFERING ITUNES LIBRARY FROM OLD COMPUTER TO NEW COMPUTER?

    Heyy guys, hopefully someone can help me here because I'm not the smartest when it comes to computer stuff.
    Okay here's the deal, I have a Windows laptop which is where my iTunes library is right now. I just got a new macbook pro and I want to convert my library onto the new computer. I was told how to do it briefly but I forget and I need specific directions, as in how do I load the songs onto the blank CD to convert them and so forth. If anyone can help me with specific directions on how to complete this process it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much.

    Amanda,
    I don't know exactly, but I don't think you need to transfer your files from your laptop to a blank cd and then to your macbook. When I got my laptop, someone transferred music and all the items in "My Documents" from my desktop computer with a few clicks of the mouse! It was transferred wirelessly! I'll try to find out what he did and then let you know, hopefully someone else will be able to help you in the meantime though. Have a blessed day, and God bless you!

  • Importing itunes library from another computer

    I copied my itunes library to an external hard drive so I could put on a new computer.  When I try to open that library, itunes doesn't seem to be seeing the library.  Any ideas on what I have done wrong?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.

  • Help with Accessing iTunes Library from both Mac and PC

    Hi All
    I'm new to this community and new(ish) to the world of Mac.
    At home we share a single iTunes Library stored on a NAS Drive across 4 different Windows PC's (Mine, My Wifes and the 2 kids).  I have recetly got myself a MacBook Pro and hoped to hook it up to our central iTunes library.
    I was pleased to see that the Library opened but sadly none of the songs can be located and I get the dreaded grey symbol against tracks if I try and play them.
    On further investigation it would appear to be a naming convention issue.  The iTunes Library is expecting to see each song in the following location:
    file://localhost/Volumes/Music/iTunes Library/iTunes Media/Music/Artist/Album/song.mp3
    The problem is the localhost element as the mac sees the same location as:
    file://Volumes/Music/iTunes Library/iTunes Media/Music/Artist/Album/song.mp3
    Is there anyway of harmonising between the 2 systems?  or am I asking the impossible.
    Many Thanks .... Blue

    Thanks Jim
    That does make sense.
    BUT ... have been doing some more investigation and it appears that my Windows iTunes is displaying the same symptoms and the tracks have lost connection with the iTunes Library.
    I'm now very confused ....
    I take it what I am trying to do IS possible?
    Any other suggestions.
    Many Thanks .... Blue

  • How can I transfer songs from another account to mine?

    I used to share an account with my dad so all of my songs are on there. How do I get them to my account? Please help!

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.
