How can I separate my itunes music from my windows media player music?

I've tried changing the file location in preferences>advanced, but every time I open iTunes it doesn't find the library.

Changing the location of the iTunes Media folder tells iTunes where to put new media, not where to "find" the library.

    Yes. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library and point it to the folder where the music is stored. Start with one folder so you can see how it works. iTunes will add whatever is compatible.

    iTunes is only designed to sync Apple devices. However, the songs in your iTunes library can be used for other purposes. Follow the instructions that came with your player.

    How can I separate my iCloud account from my sons phone?

    Just delete your iCloud account from your sons device. Therefor open "Settings >iCloud", scroll down, and delete your account (don't worry, it will only delete the account from your sons device). If he also uses this account for iTunes and App store purchases and you would like to change that as well, then you have to do the same in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores".

    How can I export my iTunes library from a PC to a MacBook Air? I want to keep my ratings and rankings.

    Hello luismezar
    The easiest way to do that is to move the entire iTunes Folder using an external hard drive. Check out the article below for the steps to move your iTunes library to your new MacBook Air.

  • How can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my laptop

    how can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to a new laptop

    3 things you need to transfer music from iPod to itunes: iPod, computer, iTunes.
    step 1 connect your ipod to your computer via the white USB cable.
    step 2 open My Computer, or just Computer from the start menu and look for the ipod drive. It should be in the (F:) drive. You will see the ipod logo in the listing of disk drives.
    step 3 Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.
    step 3 Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer.
    step 3 Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music

  • How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

    How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

    Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.
