HT1451 How do I delete an unwanted iTunes library

Hi , I hope somebody can help, I synced my iPad last night but can't make out why my " the vault" has disapeared, this is the second time this has happened, and a real pain as it holds all my password hints, I am thinking this might have something to do with another iTunes library I accidentally created and don't really want, I only need one, so firstly does anybody know what has happened and second how do I delete this second unwanted iTunes library, thank you

Select the desired library in Finder and delete it. By holding option button at starting iTunes.app just chose desired library and that's all.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

  • HT1751 How do I delete a new itunes library I created on a new computer?

    I'm not the most literate computer person in the world so please bare with me.
    This is the scenerio that took place.
    I purchased a new computer. I have my complete Itunes library on my iphone from my old computer and wanted to just transfer library from iphone to new computer by syncing phone to new computer.
    I did this but there seemed to be some things missing on my new computers itunes library.  I created a new library on my new computer which gave me 2 libraries. I basically did this to see if I could kinda just back up my original library in case I screwed up something. After I created new library, which is called NEW COMPUTER, I tried to get back to the old library to compare. Well now every time I open itunes on my new computer I cant figure out how to bring up the original library that I initially put on new computer.
    I tried to uninstall itunes on new computer then reinstall and start over but for some reason when I open Itunes the new library I created is loaded.
    All I basically want to do is transfer all my library items from old computer to new computer as easily as possible.

    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    The database that knows what tracks are in your library is the *.itl file.
    The folder containing the database gives the iTunes window its name when you run it, so if your active library says NEW LIBRARY at the top then you are currently connected to ...\NEW LIBRARY\iTunes Library.itl.
    Unlike most applications you can't just double click on an *.itl file to open it, iTunes will always open the last successfully opened database unless you hold down shift as you start to get the choose/create options.
    Chances are your NEW LIBRARY has been created inside the normal iTunes folder. Once you've held down shift as you are starting iTunes, and have clicked choose, you probably need to find an up arrow button to move up one folder level to reveal the normal library.

  • How to delete multiple old ITUNES LIBRARY files safely ?

    I'd like to clean up my Itunes LIBRARY files, but don't know what's safe to do and not to do. (I have Itunes 8.1 / OSX10.4.11)
    MY QUESTION IS TWOFOLD :
    (1) how do I create a new Itunes library file now with today's date; and
    (2) how do I delete multiple (old) Itunes library files, without risking the loss of what I've got ?
    This all stems from exploring Itunes as a result of a problem I had today... when trying to import mp3's from my terrabyte drive, after about 150 successful mp3 track imports, Itunes froze and everything else on my MAC froze as well (constant spinning colored wheel). After many failed attempts to force quit Itunes, I turned off my MBPro. On restarting, Itunes tooks ages to "import" files. Eventually Itunes opened but with only half of my original tunes (1500+ songs 8.11GB) and had nothing from today's import.
    I found a post suggesting to hold down OPTION while starting Itunes. Then I selected a file from my hard drive > me > music > Itunes > "Itune library" with the most recent date and shezam, Itunes once again has all my songs, as before. Nothing I imported from the terrabyte drive today appears however, but no matter.
    In my "Itunes" file there appear MULTIPLE Itunes libraries ! such as Itunes library, Itunes Library (damaged), and as well a folder called "Previous Itunes Libraries" which itself contains multiple Itunes Library files and multiple "previous Itunes Library files" with dates back to 2007. These I want to clean up and delete .... should I ? ... Can I ?
    I really could use some words of wisdom from the wise ! Thanks in advance

    Whenever you install a new version of iTunes and run it teh first time, iTunes will create a backup of the current iTunes library file and copy it into \Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes libraries, then update the iTunes library file in \Music\iTunes\ for the current version of iTunes.

    Hi
    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

  • How to delete video from iTunes library

    Hello, I've only had my ipod for a few weeks now. I've finaly figured out how to rip dvds/encode them, etc. During this trial and error period I was putting all kinds of junk in my itunes library.
    My question is how to remove videos from my itunes library.
    ..one more question.
    I've been using a dvd ripper and video converter made by Xilisoft. After I import the movie from my pc to itunes video library and ipod, I've noticed that the audio doesn't match up with the video. Its like watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie. Has anybody used Xilisoft software and had the same problems? If so, what did you do to recify the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    OK, I finally figured it out. I still don't have the clear option available. I had to double click on video, highlight, then press delete.
    I'm curious why I don't have a clear option like I do in library.
    Oh well, at least I can delete old files from my itunes now.
    Thanks for the quick responses.

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

  • How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'?

    How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'? I created this in error and cannot find a way to remove it. Thanks for all help.

    Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
    I suggest you update your profile to show your current version of OS X. Click on "Your Stuff" at the top right of this page & choose profile (bottom of the list) then click edit.
