How do I delete the itunes library fully?

How do i delete the itunes library fully.  I want to delete the itunes library and rebuild it.
All my media is on a NAS and no matter what settings i use, Itunes wants to create a sub directroy in the main one i specifiy for media.  this sub directory is called music and it then seems to randomly split music information up with not seeming method.  I have removed the xml file, however, when i start itunes over it goes and does the exact same thing over.  My only guess is i am missing a hidden file.

Hi,
Wireless is not my forte...

    how can i delete the photo library in my iphone 4 with ios6

    go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
    you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer

    You don't.
    This is where all photos synced to the iphone reside.
    You can delete the pics by deselecting them in itunes and syncing.

    My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
    Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

  • How do i delete a iTunes library

    How do i delete an ITunes Library

    All you have to do is delete your iTunes library folder, in the Music folder.
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes Folder
    Mac OS X
    /Users/[your username]/Music
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\
    The next time you launch iTunes it'll ask if you want to create a new library.

  • How do I transfer the iTunes library from my Mac to Windows without moving files?

    I have my Media on a Windows file share and currenty my Mac's iTunes library is pointed there. I just installed iTunes on my Windows box and now I want to transfer the iTunes database( music, playcounts, playlist, etc ) to the Windows iTunes while keeping the files in place as they don't need to be moved.
    Both systems are authorized on my acount and have home sharing turned on. They are both pointed to the same Media folder in their library settings.
    How can I make the transfer without uncessary file copying?

    The key file is the library.itl file.  This is the file iTunes uses to store all the information it presents to you when you open the program.  Well, there's also a few other library files as well as the artwork folder, but the .itl file is the center of it.  You don't say whether or not the PC has its own library with unique content, or if you are trying to duplicate the library for both.  If the PC library is empty try copying the whole iTunes folder (which contains no media according to you) to the PC, then start iTunes with the shift key held down and guide iTunes to the new library file set (or copy it over the one currently on your PC and just start normally).

  • How can I refresh the iTunes library

    Hi,
    How can the iTunes library be refreshed to remove oold entries and update file info. MP3 tags may well have been updated in other programs by it seem that iTunes does take this into account and I can't find a simple way of updateing this info other than to play a file.
    I would have thought there would be a simple refresh button or similar.

    Just select them all, using Edit > Select All.
    Then right-click and Get Info. Don't change anything, just cancel out of it.
    There is also a java script you can run, found here:

  • HT204022 how to I delete the photo library on my iphone?

    how do i delete the photos on my phone in the phone library? it has dupilicated itself now I have over 1000 pic and no storage

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Before you start deleting photos from your phone, you need to discover why they had been duplicated. Have they been duplicated because you now have a camera roll and a photo stream album with the same photos in both.

  • I deleted the "itunes Library" file...

    (This question pertains to a Mac, not PC, latest version of iTunes)
    So I was juggling around "iTunes Library" files, and I accidentally deleted the existing one but kept the new (empty) one. I found a support article about using the xml file in the same folder, and doing an "import playlist" command, so I tried that, but unfortunately it didn't do anything -- my itunes window is still blank (and this is the existing xml file, no changes have been made to it).
    My iTunes library lives on an external HD, but even though my preferences still point to that path, iTunes isn't seeing it. I even tried to consolidate that iTunes folder to a new location, but it wouldn't work because iTunes currently isn't seeing the music folder, so there's no "point of origin" for the consolidation.
    I know that PC users can do a Shift while they start iTunes, and designate the new file path... is there something similar for Mac that will magically restore my playlists and full library? I'm hoping there's a way to get everything back aside from the "Add to Library" command, because I'm not sure if that will allow me to play things I've purchased from the iTunes store. My iTunes preferences still point to the correct folder where I keep all of my music, but iTunes remains empty.
    Lastly, in the "Previous Versions of iTunes" folder, the most recent library file is from 2 months ago, so that doesn't help me much, unless I'm able to do that, then do an "Add to library" command, hoping that iTunes will just add all of the music I've bought in the last 2 months?
    I feel like there's an easy answer to this one, but I'm just not getting it... anyone have any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Kirby

    After you deleted the iTunes lbrary file, then opened iTunes, the .XML file was rewritten y iTunes, erasing the info in it.
    in the "Previous Versions of iTunes" folder, the most recent library file is from 2 months ago, so that doesn't help me much, unless I'm able to do that, then do an "Add to library" command, hoping that iTunes will just add all of the music I've bought in the last 2 months?
    Yes.
    Open iTunes.
    File -> Library - Import playlist and select the latest iTunes library file in Previous iTunes libraries.
    Then File -> add to library and select the iTunes music folder where your music is located.
