Shuffle and nano on 1 computer..need help with  itunes

I have a shuffle...got i tunes up and running with a full library. Added a nano to the computer...itunes wiped out the last library for the shuffle and created a new (empty) library for the nano. When i plug in the shuffle ...I get a prompted saying the shuffle has a "different" library..do I want to change the shuffle to the current (empty)library? How do I access the first library????

hi siebre!
just checking. how many user accounts do you have on that PC? if there's more than one, do you see the original library if you log in to the account in which itunes was originally installed?
love, b

    First, have you moved or renamed the iTunes or iTunes Music folders, or any of the folder or track files in those folders, since iTunes last worked correctly?

  • I need help with iTunes. I just bought a new laptop and I have a few questions

    So I  just bought a new laptop and few days ago. It's an HP. I have the iPhone 4 (8GB). So all my songs from iCloud are on my phone. I want to manually put them on my phone. All of my songs, videos, pictures etc. are on my new laptop. I went to apply the changes on iTunes when I selected "Manually manage music and videos". And a message came up saying "This iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on another PC. Do you want to choose to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" Under that it says "Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So what do I do? I don't want to click sync and loose everything on my phone. I will no longer use the other comuter. I really need help.
    Thank you!

    There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    You should be able to copy iTunes purchased music from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
    If you still have your old computer and you haven't copied your library over form it, then there are also some methods listed on this page about how you could copy it over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - the page refers to music, but I've used the home sharing method to copy apps, films etc between computers.

  • Need Help with iTunes 11.0 Column Browser - PC

    In the new version of iTunes 11.0, I can't seem to get three columns when using the column browser.  I want to see Artists, Albums, and then Songs in that order, but it won't allow me to move the Songs panel as a column.  I was able to do this with the older version of iTunes.  This is a waste of screen space since the artists and albums don't require wide columns at all.  What is up with Apple these days?

    I'm using iTunes 11.0.2 on a 21" iMac that's 2 years old. Today iTunes started playing on it's own and it's never done that to me before. I had to Force Quit iTunes twice and I restarted my computer. As soon as I restarted my computer I did not open iTunes, but within 10 minutes it not only opened itself but it started playing. This is super frustrating and I need it to stop. Can anyone help?

  • Need help with Itunes Authorization issue

    I've been a Itunes/Ipod user for a couple years. During that time, I've sure spent over $500.00 on Itunes music from the Itunes store for my Ipod. My daugter and I both have Ipods.. There have only been 2 machines with Itunes installed here but I occasionally rebuild my computers to have the latest and greatest hardware for my business.. The other day I backed up all my music and data before rebuilding my machine due to hardware upgrades. Everything went smoothly including importing my purchased music back into Itunes.. The problem is I can't listen to it now. When I try to double click a song I get an error that says "You have already authorized 5 computers with this account. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers" This isn't possible because the computers aren't around anymore to deauthorize. They were all housed (except 1, my daughters pc) in the same case as I have now.. Please respond...

    The other day I backed up all my music and data before rebuilding my machine due to hardware upgrades.
    okay. you may have ended up with multiple authorisations on that PC due to the system changes. if so the following documents should be of some help with techniques for freeing up authorisations:

    Your friend is right. the iPod cannot be used to update iTunes. I had the same problem about a year ago, and I just transferred each song using my jumpdrive. It's painstakingly boring, but it will work without wiping anything clean.

    I have absolutely no idea who Ari is
    It appears you do not know how to use this forum
    To reply back to Ari, you should have done that on the same thread so that he can see it
    Yes, you can call Apple if you are willing to pay for it

  • Need help with Itunes and IPod Shuffle

    I have the latest updates for both Itunes and the IPod Shuffle. I have Itunes on two different PCs, one for the wife and one for myself. I got a new Nano and gave my wife the Shuffle I had and she gave her shuffle to a friend. Everything has worked just fine in the past. When she plugged in my shuffle it asked if she wanted to sync to this PCs library and she said yes. Everything went fine except that no files will copy to the shuffle. It seems to take a VERY long time to sync as well. I tried dragging a song or a playlist but it just sits in sync mode for a long time and then when it's done there is no music on the shuffle. I don't understand the problem. When I attach the shuffle to my PC it asks if I want to sync to the library and everything works, files transfer, no problem. Putting back on her PC and going through the resync business again results in the same situation. Help!

    Hello! no, you haven't stumped the pros. This is a user board. No pros here to stump, just volunteers.
    Shuffles are only designed to sync with one PC. Connect it to your PC and restore it to factory settings. Eject it. When your wife connects it to her PC, it should get recognized.

  • I have 2 computers and need help with ITunes I'm New!

    I recently bought an iPod mini and have downloaded the iTunes to put music onto my iPod. This is on my main computer. Now I want to carry all of these songs over into my library which is empty onto my labtop and continue to put songs onto it. I have already downloaded iTunes for my labtop and everytime I go to plug in my iPod, iTunes opens automaticly and this message appears The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library? I click no and this is wear I am at. If you understand could you please help me. Thanks

    If you want to use the iPod with more than one computer, you need to change to manual transfer as outlined here.

  • Need Help with iTunes and Windows 7

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a new Dell laptop and tried to install iTunes for my iPod and iPhone. The first time I tried it out it ran smooth as anything, but if I'm connected to the net things start to go downhill. At my flat in University (no internet connect) it ran fine, but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now, but obviously dont want to have to do this again and again...
    Can anyone please help?
    Thank you in advance
    Dan

    but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
    What security software are you running on the PC, Dan? (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware?)
