How can I fix my iTunes library? It doesn't have the right music on it like my iPod.

My problem began when my laptop had to be restored to it's original settings (factory) so it whipped out everything. I went to install iTunes (newest version) which I did not have prirror to the restoration. I went to my Library to listen to music and add music and it was my old library from when I first got my iTunes account. My iPod has the right library that I want and I need to know how I can fix this ASAP. My iPod has the same account on it as what my account on my laptop is logged on as. Need to know how to fix this! Thank you!

How can I synchronise my iTunes Library on my iMac with the one on my MacBook?

How can I synchronise my iTunes Library on my iMac with the one on my MacBook?

Carolyn:
I have almost 10,000 songs/cuts in my music collection and, because of the poor quality of iTunes music, very few of those songs/cuts come from iTunes. My music came from me ripping it disc by disc over hundreds of hours. I would like to be able to add a disc and have both the iMac AND the MacBook music files (plus an external backup) be updated. Surely there is an intelligent, relatively easy to implement procedure for doing this. Perhaps I am missing something but your response doesn't seem to address the sync issue with all its implications...

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

How can I get my itunes library on multiple computers at the same time. I have 3 and an iphone 4S

So I have my itunes library on a laptop and synced with my iphone 4S. I have a new laptop and a tower and I use all three computers. Is there a simple way to have all three computers sync the same itunes library, and the phone?

No.
Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

How can I get my Itunes Library to automatically update as I add music to my computer?

When I download a song to my music folder on my computer the zune software can automatically add it to the library. Can Itunes do this?

Place the media inside <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes or use iTunes Folder Watch.

How can I "refresh" my iTunes Library?

How can I "refresh" my iTunes Library? I recently moved my library to an external and made the source folder change in preferences. My library now shows all exclamations asking me to locate the files. What is the quick fix to locate or "refresh" all?

Michael,
Your response here seems exaclty like the answer that I need. My logic board broke and I had to get a new one. Sent to Apple and all is working again. I didn't have an super recent time machine back up....my last one was 2 months old. I was able to salvage my music from the computer before sending in for repair and when I got it back, I reloaded my music file onto my machine. I use iTunes match so maybe that kept many of my files/playlists etc in order. But my iTunes is asking me to download many songs that are showing in iTunes and are in a folder in iTunes. These are songs I downloaded during that 2 month break between time machine backups. I think a refresh will fix this issue. But when I follow your steps above, I not certain what file to choose. I tried to go to my itunes ---> itunes media ---> music but that doesn't work. Do I need to choose the "iTuens Library.itl" file? I use my playlists for my job so I don't want to just guess here and lose everything. I did do a backup of my playlists so hopefully I'm protected if something happens but just want a bit more guidance on this. Thank you for your help and your time and let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Kirk

My computers hard drive has stoped working, how can I retrieve my Itunes library from my computer?

My computers hard drive has stoped working. How can I retrieve my itunes library? My back ups were on this hard drive as well.
When I brought my computer to be fixed they said they would retrieve photos and music and documents but loose my programs. That being said I am not sure if I will recover my music from itunes because it may fall under the program category. I support itunes by purchasing from itunes, but now i am in a position where i may loose years of purchassing music and it has me feeling a little bit sick to be honest...the stress this is causing is really big. DÙoes anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
Help is appreciated, thank you.

If the data is recoverable from the drive then they should have recovered the entire iTunes folder which includes the library database. Restore this into the <User's Music> folder of a replacement system, install iTunes, and it should be as before.

How can I share my iTunes library with 2 iTunes accounts?

How can I share my iTunes library between me and my wife?
I do not want to set-up 2 seperate accounts on my mac. Do not want to do home sharing or anything like this.
I just would like to connect my iPad to ONE itunes library and at the same time connect my wifes iPad to the SAME itunes library. Can this be done? How? Thanks! Maybe the answer is something really easy like "just connect both to the computer and sync them".
Thanks!

Plug them in and use them.
That is all you need to do.
In the answer from Apple I do not find anything about how the 2 exisiting iTunes accounts will be handled.
They will be handled fine.
All purchases from both iTunes accounts can be sync'd to both/either iPads with no problem.
I have three iTunes accounts (me and two daughters), 3 iPhones, an iPad and a few iPods.
Any/all content can be sync'd to any device, no problems.

I just purchased a Macbook, iPad, and iPhone and I am trying to sync my iTunes library from my Windows laptop. How can I sync my iTunes library to all devices?

I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro (13 inch with Retina display), an iPad Air 2, and an iPhone 6 plus. Before these purchases, I was using a Windows 7 laptop to manage my iTunes library and iTunes purchases. I am in need of syncing my iTunes library on my iPod classic (160 GB) with all of my new Apple devices. How can I sync my iTunes library with all of my new devices?

Devices can only sync to one library at a time. You can, however, have multiple copies of libraries on different computers though it can be tricky making sure they are always synchronized. You can put your Windows iTunes on your Mac.
Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

How can i share my iTunes library with my fiancee, he has new iPhone 5 I have an iPhone 4s,iPad, and Mac Book Pro. I signed on to his phone with my account and the library is in iTunes but it is not showing up in his music?

How can i get my itunes library on my fiances' iphone 5? I have an iphone 4s, ipad and a Mac book pro. I thought I could have my music on up to ten different devises? I signed in on his phone and my music is in his itunes account but it is not in his music file.

I regret to say that you need a new computer. That G5, as good as it still is, simply cannot run the required software to be used with the latest iPhones and other software.
