How to use libraries in iTunes?

I create a new, clean library. I then try to import a CD and iTunes puts them into one of my other libraries. When I look in Edit > Preferences > General tab I find that the Libray name is still one of the old ones. If I rename to the library name it should be it still puts files in the wrong place.

Then you are not opening a new library.

You should not rename the libraries.

  • How to use a single iTunes library when using multiple Windows Accounts

    Has anyone had success using a common iTunes library between multiple accounts on a single computer? I've tried and have been able to point all of the "different" iTunes programs in the different profiles to the same place...however, when I add files in one profile, they are not visible in any others. I've authorized the "different" iTunes in each profile to play music with my various iTunes store accounts...but no luck.
    Any thoughts? (As an aside, what happened to the days when Apple made everything simple? I mean, REALLY SIMPLE! They worked hard at that...and seem to have just given up on the things that made them GREAT! <sigh>)

    Drag the entire iTunes folder to a shared directory.
    Make sure all users have full access privileges to this folder.
    Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library*.
    Now quit iTunes, log out and go the next user.
    Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library*.
    Do this for each user.

  • Audacity - how to use songs from iTunes?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create some song clips to use in a music quiz - using songs from my iTunes library. I've downloaded Audacity and the MP3 encoder but am completely stuck - not sure that the encoder is even installed yet as I can't click on anything when I try and 'find' it.
    I can't get most of my songs to play in Audacity - I think they're in an unsuitable format - .mp4? But how do I convert existing songs in iTunes into a format that I can edit in Audacity? AND then, do I burn them onto a CD in a particular format so that they will play on a PC (for the quiz)?
    Any help would be great - many thanks.

    The guide to installing the Lame encoder is here
    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3
    I just saved mine to my Audacity folder in Applications then pointed Audacity in the right direction 1st time I used it.
    Right click on a track in iTunes and select "convert to mp3" does the trick.
    PCs read MP3's so all should be well. If not, save the tracks as WAVs (audio files).

  • How to use ATV2 with iTunes, DAC and Apple remote

    Hello,
    I play my iTunes library through a Wadia i170 dock connected to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic running through a Marantz AV preamp. I bought an ATV2 and I would like to control the music with an iPad using the Apple Remote app.  My ATV is connected to the Marantz via HDMI and i have another HDMI cable running to the TV. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks!

    If you enable Home Sharing in itunes, on iPad and AppleTV then Remote app will allow you to browse itunes content from the iTunes library and play it back on AppleTV using Airplay.  Alternatively the Remote app can control the AppleTV interface directly with iAppleTV requesting/pulling content from itunes as opposed to Airplay sending/pusihing content to AppleTV to play.
    Not sure where the Wadia dock comes into this.
    Do you dock the iPad with it?
    I'd have thought you'd be wanting to hook up the AppleTV optical out to the DacMagic if it supports Toslink or use HDMI or optical direct to the AV amp.
    Are you trying to run the system 'headless' with TV off when playing audio - if so, recent software has messed things up and not certain if fixed in that absence of an active HDMI connection can disable audio out over optical.

  • How to use my Philippine itunes Id to purchased from US itunes stores

    I want to download Google maps and its only available on US itunes store and when I tried to download it and input my Apple ID , it always says that my ID is only valid for Philippiines itunes stores.

    You can only download items from your own country's store - to be able to download from the US store you need a valid billing address in the US and be in the US when downloading from it. If you want the google maps app then you could try contacting google and see if they have any plans to add it to the Philippine iTunes store, or there are other map apps such as Nokia's Here Maps.

  • How to Use iTunes Library in older version

    I updated to the latest version of iTunes and I do not like it.  I went throught the trouble to move iTunes to another disk so I could download a the previous version of iTunes.  When I finally got the older iTunes installed, it was unable to use my iTunes library because the library was somehow updated by the never version of iTunes.  What a pain. 
    So, I'm back where I started and having to learn how to use the new iTunes. 
    I was more than happy with the previous version of iTunes that I had (I think that was 10. something)....
    I would like to try again to go back to it...if someone can tell me how to get around the library problem.
    Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to learn to live with the changes and do the extra work involved with using the new iTunes. 
    Is this a luxury problem?  If so, I guess I'm just a spoiled baby boomer.  Wah!

    In your case you will want to set the iPod to "Manual Update". THis option will allow you to connect the iPod to a computer and will not auto update so songs are lost. when your iPod is on this setting you can use iTUnes to dran and drop songs from the PC to your iPOd (Not the reverse).
    To set the iPod to manual, connect the iPOd to your PC, rightclick, and select "iPod Options" here you will switch from "Auto Update" to "Manual". When you change this and hit OK you will get a pop up telling you you have to manually eject the iPod while on this setting. this is normal.
    To get songs off an iPOd onto a PC you will have to use either a third party program to copy songs already put on it by iTUnes, Or you will have to set the iPod to "Disk Mode" and use windows exploer to copy songs from the PC and onto another. you can go here to iLounge to read on how to use thrid party program to copy from iPod to PC http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/

  • How to update my iPad's App use computer's iTunes

    My iPad have some app need to update, I can't get Wi-Fi, I only can use usb to computer, but I found the new iTurn can't find somewhere to update the app.
    Please tell me how to use computer's iTunes to update my iPad's App.
    Thank you!

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    If you haven't already downloaded the updates to your computer's iTunes then select the Apps part of your iTunes library and click the Check For Updates button at the bottom of it. When they've downloaded, select the iPad 'device' on the left-hand sidebar and on the right-hand side on the Apps tab click the Sync button at the bottom right of it - that should copy the updates over and onto your iPad

    So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
    So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
    When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
    Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
