I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device.  Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up.  It keeps syncing to the old library...

  • How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?

    How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
    I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
    Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
    Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
    Thanks

    Here is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor.  If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks.  And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
    Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
    Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window.  Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify.  Click Run in the Applescript Editor.  Follow the instructions.

  • Why users are not able to see certain printers even though they are in the Airgroup server table

    Q: Why users are not able to see only certain printers even though they are in the Airgroup server table ?
    A: In certain scenarios  we may notice  printers come up under the server /cache entries on the controller.
    However when an airgroup user does search for printer, they may not see all the printers, certain printers may be not visible .
    This is because the service IDs sent by the user in the MDNS query are not broadcast by these printers 
    In the below capture the Ipad sends query for service id "_universal_sub_ipp_tcplocal" and "_universal_sub_ipps_tcplocal" and hence the controller will 
    respond with the printers that broadcasts these service ids.

    In order to learn other printers we may need to use specific app provided by printer vendor on the client or configure the printers to send these service IDs.

  • ITunes Library lost, "new" one created, but now my iPod won't sync. HELP!!

    My brother had been messing around on my computer, and something happened to iTunes. At first, it wouldn't open at all. The only way I could access it was to hunt through my files in my MacHD. When it finally opened, there was NOTHING in it! I managed to find my songs, and load them back into the library, but now, it won't let my sync my iPod. The message "The iPod "Kayla's iPod" is in use by another user on this computer." I tried to find/restore this 'other' library/user, but the only iTune file that opens is then new one. How can I access and sync my iPod through the new library?? Please help!

    The only solution I can think of apart having computer administrative privileges and switching users to strictly use your brothers iTunes Library would be to reset your iPod. Maybe that will deauthorize your brother's Library enabling you to start from scratch.
    If you haven't already, try this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
    If that works, you're going to need this application http://ipoddisk.ourbiti.com/ to transfer any music not purchsed from the iTunes Store from your iPod to your iMac.

  • I have moved my itunes to a  new computer and now my ipod will lnot sync with new line up

    i have moved mu itunes to a new computer and my ipod will not sync with new music.

    If you are using automatic syncing, you may need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Select Music there.  This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod with songs.  Sync Music is checkmarked for automatic syncing.
    If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the nano, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, create your selection of songs below.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes.  Put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist, including songs from the newly added music.  Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod, replacing its current content.  Going forward, any changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the iPod, or when you click Sync.  So, if there is a playlist with your "iPod songs," you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes at the next opportunity.

  • I have added music from my CD library to iTunes but now my iPod will not sync.  Message says not enough free space.  How can I sync only a portion of my library to my 8Gb Nano?

    I have added music from my CD library to iTunes on my PC.  I now have too many songs in my iTunes and I have insufficient space in my 8 Gb Nano.  I am unable to sync my iPod now.  How can I get my iPod to sync?  I only want a portion of my songs on the Nano.

    Hi wisemra,
    First, make sure your iTunes does not attempt to sync automatically. Open iTunes, and select Preferences under the iTunes menu item:
    Then, once you have hooked up your device and selected it, you should see the device Profile pages to the right. Select the Music tab:
    Once you get to the Music detail screen, you will see the option to "Sync Music". You can then select "Sync Entire Music Library" or you can select "Sync Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genres". Click on the second one. Then, below, you can select which of your music from the library you want on your device:
    Your will show a list of your music. Mine doesn't because I sync with an iTunes library on different computer, but once you have selected the options I have shown you, you will see the music listed. Just pick what you want on your device and then click "Sync" at the bottom.
    Cheers,
    GB

  • IPod will stop syncing after about an hour and then can't write to iPod

    I recently added several thousand songs to my iTunes. But my ipod will not sync all the songs. After about a thousand songs, it will come up with an error message saying that it can't write to the ipod. If I try to reconnect, the ipod does not show up in itunes and then it asks me to format the ipod again.
    If i restore the ipod using the ipod updater 2006-01-10, I can get it to sync up again but it will come up with the same error message again after about a thousand songs but never in the same place.
    I've tried following the troubleshooting techniques on the ipod support site for the ipod not showing up in the itunes window. But the ipod will show up in the itunes window immediately after I restore the ipod so I don't think that this is the problem. It's after the error message and when I try to reconnect it to the computer that it does not show up.
    Any suggestions?

    Try unsyncing and resyncing all of your music.  To do this, remove the tick mark next to Sync Music from under the iPod's Music tab and click Apply in the lower right hand corner. This will remove all tracks from the iPod. When it has finished, re-apply the check mark and again apply the changes to resync all music back over to the device. Make sure that Sync Entire library is still selected and that Sync only checked songs and videos is NOT selected.
    Any luck there?
    Where are you getting the total number of songs at on both iTunes and your iPod Touch?

  • The back button is disabled even though I clearly visted the link through Google

    When I search for something in Google, and find a particular link interesting, I view it.

The back button works perfectly sometimes but others it just doesn't. Can anyone explain this odd behavior?
