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 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...

  • Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

    Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

    Is synching over wi-fi viable?  I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses.  I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.

  • I have some songs that have an exclamantion point next to them and I can't get them to sync.  I had to move them manually into a playlist and succeeded in doing that but now the playlist won't sync.  What's the problem?

    I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's.  I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found,  put it into My Music then back into iTunes.  WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far.  NOT HAPPY.

  • Why I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S? I know I have to use Itunes, I could do it before but now nothing happens.. Please help

    Ever since I installed an application (a Ringtone maker) downloaded from App Store now I can't transfer music to my iphone 4S?

    Hi Ivan,
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone in the left bar. In the middle screen, go to the tab 'Music' and see if the Sync music box is checked.
    If it is checked, you can select the music you want on your iPhone in the screen below.
    If it is not checked, you can drag and drop music from your library to your iPhone.
    Do the same in the tab 'Ringtones' (not sure if there is such a tab).
    Let us know if this solved your issue.

  • 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,

  • HT1364 Help, I dragged my entire Itunes library to my D Drive but now cannot access anything, not in C or D Drive, can I restore?

    oh dear - i ha "lost" my entite I Tunes library - apps and music!!! i dragged the whole file from C drive to D Drive as memory was choked on C, seemed to transfer as took ages and auto recycled due to file size. Thought all was well but now cannot locate in D Drive -no itunes and itunes in C is empty!!   HELP!!! how to heck do I restore or get my stuff back from Apple?

    No. 1: Do you still have the same disk that was in your D:/ Drive inserted?
    No. 2: You're in luck. Just open iTunes, click on the "Purchases" sidebar item, and it should show a complete list of everything you've bought, and you can download it all again from there. You might also want to check the "Downloads" menu item as well.

  • How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

    I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

    You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:
    http://iforgot.apple.com
    or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.
