Itunes with networked library keeps resetting to the c:\ drive

I have a network server connected to my PC via a wireless network and have mapped my shared music folder on this server to my j:\ drive. I selected this drive in itunes. It finds it fine and can access the files etc ok. However, itunes seems to reset itself each time I reboot to the logged on user's "my music" folder on the c:\ drive. I check that the network is oconnected and correctly mapped before I open I tunes, but this keeps happening
Is there a setting I need to change in the programme or the registry that makes Itunes default to the user's "my music" folder on the c:\ drive?
Or is there some other itunes programme that looks for the networked drive in the start-up process, perhaps before it has reconnected, that I need to delete/delay?

Try the iTunes for Windows forum (This is the Mac one - not likely to get much help here!)

  • Network Lock keeps resetting

    HI. I am a newbie here and would like to ask why the Network Lock keeps resetting to the Enabled position. I have friends that I am allowing them to share my connection whilst they are visiting.
    Thanks in advance.

    I also have the same problem with the Network lock becoming enabled. Driving me nuts. I guess thats why its called network magic!

  • I have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings, when i put it back on my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded back to the same computer

    i have backed my iTunes with over 10,000 songs on a hard drive and than i reset my computer to factory settings because my email was hacked, when i downloaded the music back to my macbook pro only 2030 were able to be downloaded . how can i download all my music back?
    michel p.

    I usually err on the sideof caution when someone says "downloaded" and take it to mean anything fro actually downloaded, to copies, to imported, to moved (frolder to folder), but even if they were "downloaded"... if the old email was hacked, and subseuqently closed out, that leaves the downloaded files "orphaned" if you will, belonging to the old ID. So, while they may be on the HD, they're inaccessible now.
    One of the biggest reasons I NEVER keep anything in my library with DRM employed in it.  I bought it. I own it. I'm not going to get locked out of it.

  • IPod Touch 4th keeps reseting all the time!!

    Hey everybody! I really hope that you guys can help me..
    I was trying to exclude an app and then I decided to reset my ipod touch 4th. Now, it keeps reseting all the time by itself! The ipod don't turn off or even less turn on.. What can I do??

    - Connect the iPod to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod then restore the iPOd.
    - Next see if recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so your can restore it.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Then try DFU mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Then, let the battery fully drain and then charge and try again.
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion.  Where is the Hard Drive?

    Mac Book Pro Retina with Mt Lion.  Where is the Hard Drive?

    Technically there is no "hard drive" in the Retina MacBook Pro, as all models come with "flash" storage which isnt a "hard disk drive." So if you are wondering why you are not hearing classic hard drive chatter and spin-up sounds then this is the reason.
    Other than that, logically the devices are treated the same, so as Kappy mentions you just have to enable it on your desktop or go to your computer name in the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or otherwise go to the top level of the system's folder structure to reveal any mounted volumes, including the internal drive.

    "None of the network adapters are bound to the Netmon driver.If you have just installed, you may need to log out and log back in order to obtain the proper rights to capture. Please refer to the product help for more information"
    I read many technet articles and other blogs but that didn't solve this issue. I tried things like
    A) Run as administrator
    B) nmconfig /install in cmd
    So could you please help me how I can fix this issue?
    Regards,

    Seems our driver didn't get installed.  What you see when you type "sc query nm3" from a command prompt?
    Thanks,

  • Using iTunes match will this clear room on the hard drive

    using itunes will this clear room on the hard drive

    Simply enabling iTunes Match will not "clear room on the hard drive." You will have to delete the tracks from iTunes manually. But you should read this first: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup.

  • ITunes Library Keep Resetting to Macinstosh HD from Network NAS location

    Every time I open iTunes, the library location path in the Advanced tab shows that the iTunes Library has changed located back to the Macintosh HD:/Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/
    The library has been relocated to a QNAP network NAS mapped to NASTS209Pro/iTunes which is a public folder. The information below is taken from the System profiler
    Type: smbfs
    Mount Point: /Volumes/iTunes
    Mounted From: //GUEST@nasts209pro:139/iTunes
    Automounted: No
    How do I force iTunes to use the NAS directory and stop it from reverting back to the Localhard drive directory path?

    I found this thread through a support search. I just moved to all Mac Books for my family and set them up to a wireless network, and keep data (music, photos) on a shared NAS drive. We finally got around to moving our folder from our old external drive to the NAS. That went fine.
    We are now finding the same issue. The music file location keeps reverting back to the local HD. My kids have Mac Books with Tiger, we have Pro's. The kid's computers reverted without even closing out or restarting. Mine held the directory until I restarted the computer. It's a drag because each time I fix it, the files have to re-organize, and it takes forever. The kids can't copy music to their ipods because it keeps saying "the original files can't be found"
    Is there a way to correct this, (I see this topic was never answered) or do we have to abandon this way of doing things? They guy who set up our wireless and the NAS said it would be great. (I am also wondering how we can all have Apple accounts to buy music, have it stored in the NAS, and all be able to use it, without knowing what got added when and by whom.) We have all authorized each other's laptops.
    Do we need to upgrade the new OS? I tried another thread's suggestion of adding the NAS to the login items. I can't seem to do that on the Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might have to resort to a trip to the Genius Bar. :/

  • ITunes Library Keeps Resetting.

    Every 5 days or so I will open iTunes and my entire library is gone. The only thing that iTunes is the screen you get from an empty library where my only two opitions are to either go to iTunes or scan for media. I would appreciate it if anyone knows why this is happening and how i can fix this problem.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Help with using itunes with 4s library after i upgraded to iPhone 5 and computer power supply went

    long story hopefully an easy fix....
    on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
    i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
    so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
    next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
    I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
    my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
    So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
    There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
    Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.
    yes i broke the cardinal rule of cross posting and apoligize  for it just amazed i couldn't find answer via google nor any apple store genius knew it either.

    Hi All,
    Any help?
    No one has any answers here amoungst all this apple knowledge?
    Thank you

  • Is there a way to setup 2 iTunes with 1 library?

    I have installed Windows Vista on a 2nd drive on my computer. I can either boot into XP or Vista. I've installed iTunes 7 in Vista. What I'd like to do in Vista is access the iTunes database on the XP drive, so that I'm looking at the same library and can make changes to the same library from either OS. However, I can't find a way to point the Vista iTunes to the XP library, nor can I actually find where the XP library file is located.
    (BTW, I'm not looking to export the library from XP, and then import into Vista. That would create 2 independent libraries, and I only want one.)
    Thanks.

    Thanks. After looking at your link, it turned out to be easier than I expected. The solution is to change Vista's default "Music" folder to be the same as XP's "My Music" folder. I was a little reluctant to do this at first, but what the heck, this is a temporary Vista installation anyway.
    The linked post says to do it with Tweakui. In Vista, its easier than that (and there's no Tweakui for Vista anyway). Just go to the "Music" folder, right-click, choose Properties, Location tab, and change the location to the "My Music" folder on the XP drive. Done.
    Thanks for your help.
