IPhone remote insists on using old library names

I just got a new computer and tried connecting my iPhone using the "remote" app. I saw the library still had the default name, "Mike's Music Library" (or something like that), so after I got the remote working, I went and changed the iTunes library name in iTunes preferences.
Now every other computer sees my shared library with the right name, but my iPhone still insists on calling it by it's old -- not too descriptive name. (I've even tried deleting the library from the remote app and re-pairing it, but it comes back with the old name.) Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

Mike G.,
Have you already tried powering the iPhone off and on? If that didn't work, I would try removing the app once more, resetting all settings on the iPhone, then re-adding the app again.
To reset all settings, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.

I just changed my user name to my e-mail address on my iMac. It works fine there but when I try to use my iPhone it still shows my old user name and will not let me enter??

There is no user name needed to "enter" or use iPhones...
Assuming you mean your iTunes Store account ID:
Settings > Store > tap ID > sign out > sign in with new ID

Changed my ID but the Iphone 4 continue with the old ID name and does not syncronize. How can I change it in my Iphone so I can continue to use all my data stored like contacts and notes?

Do you mean through iCloud? You need to go to settings > iCloud and "delete account" and then sign in with the newly named account. You'll want to do similar for facetime, messages, and store.

Create new Library still shows old Library names?

Old library was moved onto TCapsule. Create new Library does create
a new Library however all previous Library names are still there, (minus
the photos)
I need the new Library to show 2009 - Currently shows 2000, '01, '02 etc.

Please describe the steps you used to get where you are now. From putting the old library into TM to creating the new one and what do you see and were do you see it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

ITunes uses old library after OS X Yosemite upgrade

Hi there. In the last couple of days I reorganized my iTunes. Deleted songs, genres, renamed them etc. Today, I upgraded to Yosemite OS. The new iTunes switched to a library that hasn't got the changes I made. So it's an old library, not the newest one I had on Mavericks. I tried to restore via Time Machine (the .itl-file), and when I open iTunes it looks fine, but after a second it starts refreshing the library and the old one is there again. :-( Any ideas?

Thank you very much for responding! That seems like the logical thing to do - and I did it. But it's the same as before: At first, the new Library is shown, and then a popup-window appears and the library is "aktualisiert" in German, meaning updated, and after that it's the old one again... :-(

How to use old library with new computer?

Hello,
I keep all my music on an external HD. Recently, my main computer died, so I had to start using another iMac. It's running Tiger and iTunes 6, but I have never used the iTunes before. How do I get this computer to "see" my old iTunes library (on the external)?

You are welcome. One thing that comes to mind is that I believe when you use an external drive to hold your library, it is important that the external is on and mounted when ever you start up iTunes. My understanding is if you start iTunes and the external drive is not available, then iTunes reverts back to the default location on your internal. You then have to reset it back to the external, but I think you also have to re-add everything all over again.
So be sure you always have the external up and ready whenever you open iTunes.

Trying to manage my music on iPhone but can't use old comp all my stuff on how do i do this

trying to delete some music from phone and store the old comp i use to do it on is broken how do i set up a new comp

Honestly the best bet at this point since we can't respond to whats on the screen is to plug it in over night and hope its connected to wi-fi so it can attempt to make an iCloud back-up. It won't have as much information backed up as an iTunes back-up but its still better than nothing. As to how to check the icloud back-up you will need to locate another iOS device and log into iCloud on the device and go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Back-up>Manage Back Up and it will display a time that it last backed-up.

Using old account name after it has been deleted

I deleted an account because I learned that the only way you could re-name the short name was by deleting the account altogether.
I had problems deleting the account from the admin account, even afer shutting off "fast users" and "auto login". THerefore, based on some other posts in discussion group, I used applications/netinfo manager/users then deleted the account name.
I re-started and sure enough the account I was trying to delete, was gone.
Now, I'm trying to go back and create the account again using the same account name, it own't accept it. I keep getting a message saying "Name is not available".
I'd like to create an account with the same name. Any suggestions??

In the NetInfo Manager, look for other instances of that name and delete them from the list of groups as well as from the membership of the remaining groups. Users and groups with a numeric ID below 501 should not be deleted. A tool called ChangeShortName can be used to change the short name of an existing account.

Restored iPhone but could not use old backup

I was trying to upgrade to iOS 6 but kept getting an error message and disconnecting. I then decided to backup my phone then restore it to the factory settings.
When I was in the process of using the 'restore from backup' feature, it only brought in my contacts but not my photos and apps. Anyone know what went wrong and how I can get my photos and apps back?
Thanks!!!!

If you did not set up Find My iPhone, then only your cell carrier would have the possibility of tracking your iPhone, if they offer such as service. Some carriers do, but most require you to sign up for the service and pay extra. You can call your carrier and ask if they have any tracking service available to you.
If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

How do i get ipod to use old library on new hd?

When I installed the ipod software and itunes, it scanned the drive, didn't find her itunes directory, deleted everything on her ipod, said that her ipod was now connected to a new library, and left her with all the weird struff it could fine.
How do I sether ipod back like it was, including her purchased songs? Should i re-install?

Did you put the entire iTunes folder on a second drive? To operate with two drives, the iTunes folder and library files have to be on the primary drive while the iTunes Music folder can sit on the second drive. You then point iTunes to the new location of the Music folder in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General. You can read about how this operate here: Moving your iTunes Music Folder

WLS using old package names

I got a copy of WLS 5.1 from JavaOne last week. It runs fine serving up
http and jsp requests. I cannot connect to the server from a Java client.
I have tried t3 and JNDI. In both cases I get connect because some Weblogic
class is trying to call com.sun.java.util.collections.ArrayList.
Am I missing a JDK 1.2 update for WLS 5.1 or what?
Any assistance would be appreciated?

error you got???

I have successfully merged multiple iphoto libraries using iphoto-manager. Now I have multiple albums noted with the old iphoto names. CAN I DELETE THOSE?

Now that I have merged multiple iphoto libraries into one -- can I delete the albums that show up with the old library names?

You can do what ever you want - in iPhoto albums are simply pointers to photos so deleting an album has no effect except the album is gone - only when you delete from events or photos view is the photo deleted from the library and disk (after you empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash)

Re: iPhoto deleting photos from old library and new library

Hello. I really hope someone can help me. I'm about to tear my hair out. I recently copied my iPhoto library to an external hard drive because I'm seriously out of space on my 24"iMac (2008). I am a photographer and have a mess of an iPhoto library to clean up. It was a VERY large volume, and it ran overnight. It appears that everything transferred fine. I did the transfer exactly as instructed by many forums: Home > Pictures > iPhoto Library, drag and drop to WD My Book 1 TB EHD formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then I opened iPhoto via the icon in the dock while holding down the Option/Alt key and chose the new location on the ext drive to point iPhoto to the new library. My problem is this:   I went into the old library, which I renamed iPhoto Library - Old (after the fact, which I hope didn't cause the problem), and deleted an event that I didn't care about. To my surprise, it deleted the event in BOTH libraries. I have tried repeatedly to point iPhoto to the right library, both using the dock and going through applications. It is as though the 2 libraries are somehow inter-connected, and not separate. At times, I will open the old library through finder, but I can see it highlight the icon for the EHD and it opens that. I am at my wits end, as at any given point in time I don't know which library it has brought up. I am trialling Aperture, and am trying to move photos over to Aperture from iPhoto, but really need to free up space on my internal drive to be able to work with it. I'd eventually like to move the masters to the EHD, etc., but I'm still in the learning curve with all that (I'll be hitting that forum soon, I'm sure). My highest priority right now is to figure out how to separate the 2 iPhoto duplicate libraries so I can delete the photos from the desktop without affecting the photos on the External Hard Drive. I've tried everything I can think of and everything I found while scouring these forums. Here is the information I think you would need:
                                                         - 24" iMac Intel, Snow Leopard (10.6.8), iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5)
                                                         - 2 TB WD External hard drive running Time Machine, (so everything from the desktop is backed up).
                                                         - 1TB WD My Book that is formatted as I mentioned above, which I copied the iPhoto Library to.
                                                         - 1 soon-to-be-bald photographer.
Thanks very much in advance for any help anyone can give me. I really like my hair, and don't wish to lose it!
Gail
PS - Just a little background. I have been working on this whole space issue for more than a week now. This is the 3rd new external hard drive I've had this week due to "issues." Had a problem with all 3 but finally figured this one out, and it's now working fine. I am so far behind in some photo editing work because of the hard drive space issues, and I cannot seem to resolve them no matter how hard I try. Hence the frustration. Thanks again.

THANK YOU LARRY!! I did not realize that once you switch libraries, it kept you in that library until you switch back using the option key. I thought that the iPhoto icon would take me to the new library, and going through finder to the old library name would take me to the old one. I was actually in the new library the whole time, and all of the images I deleted were deleted from there. I just switched back to the old library and all of the photos were still there. I also tried deleting from the old library, which is what I wanted to do, and then switching to the new library and it did not affect the photos there at all. So, this was indeed the answer.
Whew, what a relief. You're a life saver. I might actually be able to get some work done now.
Thanks again so much.
Gail
