I can't seem to create another iTunes music library...  Please Help...

I have tried what iTunes v9 tells me to do by holding the shift key while starting iTunes from the start menu...
It doesn't work.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Has anyone found a fix yet?
-Bill

You need to press AND HOLD the shift key. Keep holding it down until the prompt comes up.
If you still can't get it to work from the start menu, try it by clicking itunes.exe in
C:\Program Files

  • 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 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???

  • "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

    Hi stewart,
    I assume you can connect to the internet otherwise, through your browser, email client, etc?
    If so, check this post:

    If not, investigate your internet connection.

  • HT202157 After recent update of apple tv i can no longer play my purchased itunes tv shows. please help

    I paid all this money for apple tv and purchased the tv shows and now i can't watch them. please advise.

    Hi I have an apple tv 2.  I don't recall the last time I updated, but I was always advised against it.  I was turning on apple tv but had tv on wrong output and I guess I accidently hit update.  It says not to unplug or turn off, so I went ahead and let it update.  I have a collection of old movies that I owned before RedBox came out, so I downloaded them to my itunes library.  Now a lot of my newer movies will not show up on my playlists.  Movies that were there before.  Anyone know what happened, but better yet, please tell me there is a way to undue this new update?  PLEASE! 
    I know it's not the internet connection, because I can go to my computer and airplay it to the apple tv with no problem.  But this will be such a pain.

  • Can't Access iTunes Music Store, Please Help

    When I open my itunes and click on the music store, I can not access it. It says, "Could not complete the music store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
    My internet connection is fine, so I don't know what is going on. My firewall is set to accept itunes requests. This has been going on for a few days now, I'm clueless on what's going on. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I'd start off by going to the "Advanced" menu and selecting "Run Diagnostics...", then choosing to test for network settings to the iTunes Store. It should tell you if a firewall really is blocking you from accessing the store or if something is going on, I would think.

  • How can I retain original data when copying Music Library to 2nd computer?

    I created my iTunes music library (about 1300 songs) on my Power Book, and I want to maintain a complete backup on my new Mac Pro. I tried this by copying the entire Music folder from the Power Book via firewire to the Mac Pro. However, iTunes on the Mac Pro launched a blank Library page. So I used the Import command to load the Library from the copied files.
    This seems fine except the Date Added column listed the current date for the entire library. For various reasons, I need the original Date Added for each song, along with any and all notes, ratings, and edits on every song.
    Is there a way I make iTunes on the Mac Pro recognize and open the original Library files instead of starting a new document?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I did not succeed.
    After following all the steps, the results were the same as before. Launching iTunes on the Mac Pro produced a blank library. So I went to a folder in the copied iTunes Music file and clicked on a song, which launched iTunes with the song ready to play. But it had no play count, none of the original Date Added information, no ratings. It was as if I had just purchased 1300 songs within the last 15 minutes. Therefore it made no sense to waste time "importing" the entire old library into the new one, because the "vital statistics" would be missing.
    I repeated the exercise several times to see if I made a mistake. Once, after navigating to the "location where you would like your new Music folder to be created, " I bypassed the New Folder button and just clicked the existing empty folder. That didn't work. Then I created a folder and named it "iTunes Music folder new." The song files went into that folder okay, but the data didn't.
    I tried moving the folder from the Hard Drive location (where it landed by default after I created it) into the User file's Music folder where the old iTunes Music folder was located. Still didn't work.
    I performed these operations after connecting a firewire cable between my Power Book and the Mac Pro. I used the Power Book as the host computer, because it contains the original library. I started the Mac Pro in Target Disk Mode.
    I launched iTunes in the Power Book and followed the transfer instructions, as described above.
    I think I've spent no less than six hours trying to accomplish what ought to be a straightforward task. I've been using Macs since the mid-1980s, but this iTunes stuff tops my list in sheer frustration. What am I missing?

  • I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

    I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and a separate 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so the 2 libraries are completely separate? Thanks

    You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
    I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
    Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
    You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

  • ITunes can't find or create the iTunes Folder (in Vista). SOMEBODY HELP ME!

    I have installed iTunes in my Windows Vista but i can't run it because it appears an error showing: iTunes can't find or create the iTunes folder. This folder is usually located in My Music Folder.
    The problem is that I erased the original folder "my music" from my computer and even if I create another "my music" folder and I put in the iTunes folder, the program doesen't work.
    Please help me!
    Thanks very much.

    The problem is that iTunes uses a registry entry to find the location of the Music folder and it is not correctly set.
    Apple offer this help for Windows XP, however it requires a utility called TweakUI and Miscrosoft haven't released a version for Vista. I found this link for an alternative, but I know nothing about it so I don't like to recommend it:
    http://www.totalidea.com/content/tweakvi/tweakvi-index.html
    As alternative to this you may be able to do the following as a work around:
    Hold down the shift key, keep it held down and start iTunes. You should be asked to choose or create a library. Choose create and navigate to where you want your iTunes folder - usually in your Music folder.

  • How can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

    Using iCal on my ipad2 and can't seem to create a repeating event, specifically, an appointment that occurs the second Wednesday of every month.  Any help is greatly appreciated....thanks!
    iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

    Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in.  There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.
