Replace library from y:\shared music\ to \\mybookworld\shared music\
Hi,
I have stored my itunes files on my NAS with the absolute path Y:\shared music\. Unfortunately I have added files to the library also with the relative path \\mybookworld\shared music\.
The problem is that the same file might be twice in the library, one entry with Y:\ and one with \\MYBOOKWORLD\
How could I replace Y:\ by \\MYBOOKWORLD ?
Any hint is really appriciated?
Christian
I've written a few scripts that might be able to help.
Unconsolidated scans selected tracks or your entire library to identify those that are outside your designated media folder.
ConsolidateByMoving is meant to move files (rather than copy them as iTunes does) but if a file already exists in the "new" location it will just switch the link from the "old" one. I did have it set up to send the file on the old path to the recycle bin, but given your situation where two paths can refer to the same file I have just updated the script to make this an optional feature that is normally disabled but could be restored by changing a declaration in the script.
DeDuper is designed to remove unwanted duplicates. Once you've used the previous script to make sure all files are using the same root path (\\MYBOOKWORLD?) then this one should correctly identify multiple entries to the same file or physical duplicates and remove any that are found. See this thread for more background.
N.b. "entire library" in the context of these scripts currently excludes Apps & Ringtones. Apps can be processed in a separate run, but for some reason Ringtones are currently invisible to my scripts.

How do i move only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account
How do i transfer only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account
I am confused by terminology, not knowing what you mean by "iTunes account". You have a computer account which is your user area on a computer. You have an Apple ID that you use to buy items from the iTunes Store. You have a media collection which is an iTunes library. So what is your "iTunes account" and what exactly do you want to do?

Is there any way to hide certain artists/albums in my iTunes library from Home Sharing?
Is there any way I can hide some of my music from other people, like my sister, while they are accessing my iTunes library with Home Sharing?
I have a few personal recordings that I don't want anyone but me to have access to.
Is deleting them from my library the only option?It's not an ideal solution ... but have you considered creating a second library (called, say, "Private Library") containing just the personal recordings?
To create the private library, hold down the shift key while launching iTunes. Click "Create Library" in the dialog that comes up.
Once you've created and opened the "Private library", don't activate home sharing for it. Now go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Advanced" tab, select "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", as per the following screenshot:
... and click OK.
Now add the personal recordings to the Private Library.
To get back to your original library, quit iTunes. Hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes ... but this time click the "Choose library" button. Browse to the iTunes library file for your original library and doubleclick that. You should now be seeing your original library.
Delete the personal items from your original library.
Now, in order to see those recordings in iTunes, all you have to do is do a "Choose library" when launching iTunes, and open Private library. Because Home sharing isn't activated for Private library, your sister won't be able to access those recordings. (She won't be able to access your original library either, though, when you have Private library running.) -
Is it possible to reference a library from another shared library in weblogic 11g ?
If I have registerd library A and library B separately on weblogic 11G , is it possible to reference B from A ? In OracleAS , we could import B into A.
Is a similar facility available in weblogic 11g ?
do libraries have their own weblogic.xml or weblogic-application.xml ? if yes, can we reference library B in library A's weblogic.xml or weblogic-application.xml ?
ThanksYou can probably add a weblogic deployment descriptor to the a library from which you want to refer to the other library.
So in one library you have
libraryA.war
/WEB-INF
weblogic.xml
/lib
some-jar-files
libraryB.war
/WEB-INF
/lib
some-other-jar-files
then in the weblogic.xml you would have a library-ref element. Note that it does not really make sense to set-up your shared libraries like this, as one library somehow needs the other one. Why not in this case, make one shared library as it is easier to maintain - or refer to the two libraries in the application and WebLogic will take care of the rest. -
Could any IPAD User please advise how I can go back to the Itunes/Library/Devices side bar from the music, tv, movies pages? The only thing that shows at the bottom are the selections for music/movies/ etc. Thanks
You don't get a sidebar in the iTunes app on the iPad. Your downloaded and synced music, audiobooks and audio podcasts will be in the Music app and your videos and TV shows will be in the Videos app - the iTunes app on the iPad is just the iTunes store.

Can't access iTunes Library on a shared drive
Here is my problem: I want to access my iTunes library from a shared drive.
Here is my equipment:
1. Imac running iTunes 10.6
2. 1 week old Macbook Air running iTunes 10.6
3. 1 Timecapsule that is 1 day old, bought with the express purpose of putting my extensive iTunes library on it, and was assure I would be able to stream it.
4. An Airport express hooked to my stereo.
The concept was that the Air doesn't really have the capability to hold all my music, but I want to use it as a "remote" to select songs through iTunes and play them on my stereo.
I did NOT want to leave my iMac on at all times and do homes haring that way.
Therefore, I followed intructions fonund else where and moved my iTunes library from my iMac to the newly installed shared drive on the Time Capsule.
I went into iTunes on the Air selected preferences, advanced, and changed the location of the Air's iTunes library to that of the one on the Time Capsule. It sees all the music. I close preferences.
What happens? Nothing. None of the music is listed on the Air
I've gone over this again and again, and this SHOULD work. What am I missing here? Should I take the Air and the Timecapsule back to the store?Uh, I fear you followed some wrong directions. This is what you should have done:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
It sounds as if in part at least this is what you did, at least when you say you are going to preferences and changing things.
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library. Do this with both computers if the shared library file is on the external drive.
Note, the file can only be in use by one computer at a time. You will have to quit iTunes on one computer before opening it on another. -
I have just had my Toshiba laptop hard drive replaced. This has resulted in all previous content held on the laptop to be lost. I wanted to try and transfer my music library from my ipad to the laptop, but it will not allow me to do so. The message is that the ipad is linked to another computer and it will only allow the transfer of the items purchased on through the ipad and nothing else. Does anyone know if the full library can be transferred back to the computer?
You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before. -

Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function. Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?
Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

Trying to transfer iTunes library from old windows 7 pc to new windows 8.1. Used home sharing, but not what I wanted, I want everything on the new so I can discard the old pc - so now all I have is my music library on new pc thru the cloud none of my Audible audiobooks came over - My question is do I need to delete iTunes off my new pc before I load it in from a external hard drive?
You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

When I try to access my music library from AppleTV is keeps telling me to turn on ITunes Match. I am not supposed to need iTunes Match for Home Sharing. I tripled checked to ensure Home Sharing is turned on and it is. Can anyone offer a solution?
All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer". This is where you will find your music.
The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match. -
Moving songs from a shared music library on my laptop to my desktop
I have the music libraries shared. But I cannot drag songs from my laptop music to iTunes in my desktop. Why not? These are not iTunes purchased songs but songs downloaded off internet in flac format, converted to aiff and loaded into iTunes on my laptop. I can play them but I cannot drag them into the desktop library. I want to put them on my iPod, which syncs with the desktop. I guess I'll have to burn them to cd to put them on the desktop. But it seems I should be able to copy from one shared library to another.
I have the music libraries shared.
Just to be clear, there is plain ol' sharing, and then there is "home sharing", the latter being an extension of the former. So, you turn on sharing, and then enable "home sharing", per those other articles I referenced in a prior post.
But if you are technically proficient, as JG said, copying the files using the Mac Finder is the best option. Preserves playlists, rankings, artwork, etc. The iTunes "home sharing" is really well suited for keeping two machines libraries synced and is probably a tad easier, but for that initial copying/moving of a library, doing it at the Mac Finder option is best, if a tad more complicated. -
How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.
The key constraint for Home Sharing in this context is that both PCs need to be on the same wifi network. So once you get out of range of the wifi network covering your home PC, the laptop is not going to be able to Home Share.
Have you considered importing your iTunes music to the laptop? Then you could listen to a local copy of the music on the laptop while you're on the road. (You can do the import via home sharing when both computers are on the same wifi network.) -
