How do I link to a different music library?

When I dock my iPod, iTunes states that my iPod is linked to another music library? Do I wish to link to this one? I have no idea how my old library got deleted or misplaced, but I know the music still exists in the various folders within "My Music". I have tried to find where the path to the Music Library exists to change it, but cannot find it. I would really hate to have to re-import all of my songs into the library again and have to make additional playlists. Help anyone?

  • My ipod is linked to another itunes music library?????

    I recieved this notice last time I logged into my iTunes. "The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those form this library?
    The thing is that I'm still using the same computer and never used another one to try to load any songs onto my iPod Shuffle. The Shuffle still has approximately 55 songs on it and I can't find them in my iTunes library. Anyone have any ideas as to how to put them from my iPod to my iTunes? Or how to find them on my computer to reload to my iTunes library?
    Thanks for any assistance,
    Sincerely,

    A couple different possiblities can lead to this...
    iPod's not only "attach" to a single computer, but also a single user account on that computer. Are you using the same Windows user account?
    If you are, then possibly the iTunes Music Library file was trashed from "My Documents\My Music\iTunes". The "iTunes Music Library" files found in this folder must stay here and must not be altered (except by iTunes, of course).

  • "The iPod "iPod" is linked to another iTunes music library."

    This message that my iPod is linked to another iTunes music library keeps showing up even after I allowed iTunes to erase my music on my iPod and replace it with the music in the iTunes library. Do I have to let it replace it all again?

    ok i'll try that now. and there are actually no songs
    in my itunes since its been restored. so no, lol i
    dont wanna loose all my songs.
    ok, i guess AFTER you fill up your itunes wit all of your songs, i guess try it then.. maybe its doin this cuz the itunes music (in this case is none) is different then what is on the ipod, so it THINKS it is connected to another computer that has the songs on your ipod... so yea jus fill up your libary wit the same songs and then try it...cuz when you hook your ipod into another comp that has differnt songs then taht on your ipod, it says that message... soyea again jus fill up your itunes wit the music

  • The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library

    My daughter just purchased an iTunes Shuffle with her birthday money. We imported several CDs into the iTunes Library and successfully loaded the iPod Shuffle with about 120 songs. We then turned off the computer. The next time we attached the iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes opened up and gave the following message:
    The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those from this library?
    Wow, that's a confusing question. I answered "no" to it initially, and the message went away, leaving my library empty. I disconnected the iPod Shuffle and then reconnected it and got the same question. This time I answered "yes" and our library is still empty. I can see all the CDs we imported in the iTunes folder and the individual songs are there as well. But for some reason, the library is not displaying them. iTunes also doesn't show the icon for the iPod when it's connected. Any ideas on how to fix this situation?

    We are using this iPod on only 1 PC with 1 user with WinXP. I have been able to "file/add folder to library" to retrieve my daughter's songs. I also 'restored' the iPod to factory settings and updated it with the latest software and I did the same for the iTunes software. Everything is updated now. When I click on the button to "autofill" her iPod, I can get a few of the 118 songs in our library to download, but then I get an error messages that states, "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurred. (-69)" Any ideas on what's happening here? Another I noticed that's strange is when I try to autofill the iPod, my 3.5" floppy light starts blinking. Perhaps this iPod software thinks the floppy is the iPod???

    In iOS 7 how did I search songs in my music library?

    How stupid is this design?!  Unless you happen to be positioned the top of the displayed list (song, artist, album, etc.) there's no way you'd find the search (aka, spotlight) option.
    Why not put the option in a non-scrollable area of the screen, so it's always visible?
    As iOS 'evolves', it's interface seems to be becoming less intuitive. Sad.

    How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • How to have different music library's on iPods using the same Apple ID

    Hello.
    Me and my sister both have iPod 4th generations. Because of the timing of the purchases of our devices we use the same apple account. I would like to know how to have a different iTunes music library to her and if it will still keep the libraries separate.
    Please help.

    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.
    To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
    Or you can opt for completely separate libraries... Disable automatic downloading of purchases and turn off the display of iTunes in the Cloud purchases from the Store menu. You still get the benefit of being able to freely download something the other has purchased that you also like.

  • How can I find tracks in itunes Music Library that I have NOT copied to my

    HI,
    I have more tracks in my iTunes music library than will fit on my iPod. for each track in my iTunes music libary I'd like to see whether or not that track is also on my iPod. I know I can do this track by track by looking up each track in the iPod directory but that could take months. What I want is to be able to filter or sort my iTunes music library by this attribute so I can visually scan down the list and see what I'd like to move over to the iPod (after making space on the iPod by deleting songs I'm tired of)
    How can I do this and what version of iTunes is needed.
    thanks -- Dan

    The .xml file is basically just a playlist of your entire Library. You can create one by going to your main Library List view and click File > Export.. - then just save a new .xml file to the desktop (or wherever).

  • How to view Playlist assignments in main Music Library

    When viewing my entire Music Library in iTunes (Mac OS), I would like to see what playlist(s) each song has been added to. There are dozens of View Options (name, album, genre, etc.) but I can not find a way to view playlist assignments in the Music Library window. I have an extensive music collection and many songs have not yet been placed in a playlist. I am looking for an easy way to determine which one's aren't in a playlist yet. Also, this would simplify determining if a song is in an inappropriate playlist and reassigning it. Is there an automated iTunes feature for this? I'm trying to avoid having to manually enter playlist information for each song in my Music Library.

    You might try Doug's Scripts. Sorry, not at my home computer right now so I don't know the exact web address but if you seach for "Doug's Scripts" it should be near the top.
    Just out of curiosity, why do you need to put every song in a playlist? Are you familiar with the browser function in iTunes which will allow you to view your music by genre, artist and album? Not for me to judge how you organize your music but perhaps if I knew a little bit more about what you're trying to accomplish, I might have some other suggestions.
    Best of luck.
