I want to remove a friends itunes library and account from my hp netbook

A friend set up their original account on my pc; how do I remove it? I don't want their library or account on my hardware... a reinstall of itunes made no difference.
Thanks

Several ways.  Easiest it probably copy whole iTunes folder to a different location.  Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key, select the iTunes Library.itl file in the duplicated folder then delete what you don't want.
Yu can also create a new, blank library using the above method.  Export playlist from library 1, restart iTunes with library 2, import playlist.
I don't have iTunes Match.  I'm not sure how it will react to a second library.

    Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

  • How to move iTune library and iPod from old XP PC to new Vista PC

    I am upgrading from an XP PC to a new Vista PC and would like to know where I can find instructions on what I should do to transfer my iTunes library and my iPod to the new computer. Thanks for any help.

    I purchased Copy/Tran and, as you described, it was awesome in transferring all 2538 songs to the new computer.
    The only problem remaining is that even though it transferred all songs including the 83 that I had purchased from iTunes, when I synced my iPod with the new computer's iTune library, I got a message saying it could not put the purchased songs on the iPod because they were "not authorized".
    Any suggestions on what to do about that?

  • My sister and I use the same itunes library and account. My Ipod is registered to her. How do I register it to me? Please help., My sister and I use the same Itunes and Itunes account. My Ipod is registered to her. How do I register it to me? Please help.

    I registered my sister Ipod on my laptop through itunes, and i registered mine on it also. So now it says both ipod touch's are registered to her. I do i change that so mine can be registered to only me.

    What is saying that both are registered to her?

  • Transferring iTunes library and iPhoto from 15inch MBP to new 13inch MBP

    I have just taken delivery of a new MBP 13inch and wish to transfer Itunes
    ( 5,ooo tracks) and iPhoto( 4,000 photos)from the older 15inch MBP.
    I have moved documents via IDisk as there were only a few.
    I have a firewire but it is a 400 at each end.The new 13inch requires an 800
    I have backed up the old 15inch to a little Lacie external hard drive but the inputs on the hard drive are a different size on the 13inch so can't go that route.
    Do I have to buy a firewire with 400 at one end and 800 at the other, with delays and delivery charges ( i live a day's journey from an Apple store)?
    Is there an easier way?
    I am a Mobile me memeber so mail, contacts etc are not a problem.
    Any help appreciated.

    To use a FW400 drive you will need a converter cable. You may find one at a local electronics outlet. If the drive supports USB and you have an appropriate cable you could use the drive in USB mode.
    Otherwise you could connect both computers to your home network and transfer data that way using File Sharing - select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing." If you have an Ethernet cable you can connect the two directly by Ethernet cable and create a computer-to-computer network (could also do the same wirelessly.)

  • The same itunes Library and playlists on the same computer with two systems

    I want to have the same itunes library and playlists on the same computer with the two different Os 10.3.9 and 10.4.9 each one on the different disk. without copy this in the itunes folder (because my library its 30Gb)
    I have the same user name on the Os. I use the same version of itunes in both systems
    I use my ipod to play the library but its not the best solution (i lost my library in ipod twice because I confused from what os was synchronized)

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Amalgamate the two iTunes libraries. Then load iTunes and hold down the Option/Alt ⌥ key and then choose "Choose Library" and then point both copies of iTunes to use the combined iTunes library.

  • How to make an app deleted from iTunes library be deleted from all the iOS devices synced with this library?

    Hello!
    I have 3 iOS devices synced with iTunes apps library (OS X 10.10.2)
    Can someone tell me how to make not only added but deleted apps be synced also? I mean I want an app deleted in iTunes library be deleted from any iOS devices synced with this library.

    But it was working some time before! What and when has changed?
    There was even a warning popup window something about "this application will be deleted from all the devices synced with this library"
    Now there's opposite message - "This application will not be deleted from any device syncing with this account". Isn't it some kind of clue that there can be conrarily circumstances - when application IS deleted from ANY device synced with this computer?

  • My computer The File "itunes library.til" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file.  iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to "iTunes Library (Damaged itl)"

    My computer crashed when I was using Itunes.  I got everything up and running and got this message "The File “itunes library.til” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file.  iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to “iTunes Library (Damaged itl)”  Everything loads up put in takes 10 min. then my music playlists are deleted everytime I turn Itunes on.  What can I do to solve this problem?  Thanks.

    Hi shyanne23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iTunes library file has become damaged in some way, you may want to try recreating your iTunes library and playlists by following this article:

  • A friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use mine which I want to sync with my Ipad and Iphone?

    A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library.  Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.

    I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library.  At least this is how iPods work.  I'm not sure about iPhones.  If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
    If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems.  The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time.  I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
    Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.

  • Why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it?  I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

    why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it?  I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

    Hi Lisa,
    I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
    If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
    Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
    Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
    Changing computers in the past.
    A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
    A sign of a failing iPod.
    Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
    Hope this helps!

  • I want to start a new itunes library

    I have an older itunes account that I shared with a friend. I set up a new appleid for myself, and want to have my own itunes library with all new songs. Each time i go to itunes and sign in with my appleid (new), it shows the old library, but i can't manage my new account. I have tried uninstalling itunes and starting new, but it defaults to the old account even without signing in.

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new library, or use separate user accounts on the computer. Apple IDs are separate from iTunes libraries.

  • I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library.  How can I do this?

    I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library.  How can I do this?

    From here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
    Transferring a recording to a computer
    Manually
    Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.
