There is no library in my iTunes?

Have you tried holding the alt/option key while starting up iTunes and then searching for your music folder that way?

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

    Your itunes library should be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Is there a way to access my iTunes Library, which is stored on a (PC) External Hard Drive, on a MacBook Air (through an Apricorn Universal Hard Drive Adapter), without transferring the music files off of the external hard drive?

    Is there a way to access my iTunes Library, which is stored on a (PC) External Hard Drive, on a MacBook Air (through an Apricorn Universal Hard Drive Adapter), without transferring the music files off of the external hard drive?
    In other words, because the MacBook Air only has 120 gbs of hard drive space & my old hard drive, from a Lenovo, has 500 gbs of hard drive space (and I have over 120 gbs of music), I’m looking to manage my iTunes music from the external hard drive permanently. Upon attempting to access the iTunes library held on the external hard drive the following message comes up: “The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file”.  Is there a way to get around this?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

    You will have to engage a split library which means you will have to start answering questions on this forum because you will need to learn a lot about how iTunes works in order not that have a big mess at the end of it all.  It also won't be easy when the time comes to relocate it all to different drives.
    You can go to advanced preferences and turn off organize media and copy to items to media folder when adding items to library.  Next read about how to selectively consolidate items to the external drive.

    "...selected the new tracks directly in iTunes, Control-clicked on the selection, and saw that now you can consolidate selected items." - http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090919000326840
    Remember that when you start iTunes without the external drive turned on iTunes will present you with a bunch of broken links.  If you have automatic downloads enabled with iCloud you may have to turn that off to prevent iTunes from repopulating your drive trying to deal with those "missing" tracks.
    If you add tracks in bunches to iTunes and want them to go to different media folders you will need to either add them by holding down the option key while dragging if the desired media folder is not the one set in preferences, or by changing the media folder in preferences.  Changing media folder preferences only applies to new files added, not old ones.
    Okay, I am going to stop typing because you might just reply to me, "Oh, okay, forget it," and I don't need the exercise.

  • Why do duplicate albums appear on my iPod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    Why do duplicate albums appear on my i{Pod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    It's probably going to be a capitalisation error. In other words, one or more tracks on the album has a lower case letter at the beginning of the album name while all the others have a capital letter. They can be difficult to spot.
    In iTunes, examine one of your duplicated albums carefully. You should be looking for a slight difference between the album title name. Look at the screenshot below, can you see the error in the album title?
    It is there...
    The title track (Left Of The Middle). Look at the capitalisation of the album name.
    Once you find you error in your album, re-type it (or copy-and-paste from one track to all the tracks) and then SYnc your iPod to iTunes. Does that cure it? If nto, let us know.

  • Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

    is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

    The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.

    Check the instructions provided with the player. You may need to convert the music to MP3 first and/or locate it in the Finder.

  • HT1473 Is there a way to make my substantial CD library available in iTunes/iCloud without importing every CD?

    I have a pretty large collection of CDs that I would love to make available to my collection of Apple devices via iCloud and iTunes.  Is there a way to bypass the tedious import process (to be repeated MANY times)?  Via iTunes Match with the appropriate UPC code from the CDs themselves?  I'm thinking that Match already has all the music in my collection.  And if there are some that aren't available I can import those ones...

    Is there a way to bypass the tedious import process (to be repeated MANY times)? 
    Yes.  If you purchased the CDs from Amazon, they are automatically available as files in the Amazon cloud, via the Amazon "Auto Rip" process.   You can download them from there, and add them to your iTunes library.  Therefore, you do not need to manually rip your CDs one by one.

  • HT1349 Is there anyway possible to retrieve your Itunes Library from crashed computer

    We had a computer that crashed around Christmas time.  We had put SO much in our Itunes library and now we have to start all over again.  Is there a way to retrieve that Itunes library and successfully import it to our new computer?

    Yes, although it depends a bit on how your library is organised. If everything is in the iTunes standard folders, libraries are in ...My Documents\My Music\iTunes and all the media in ...My Documents\My Music\iTunes Music then you can share the main iTunes folder over your network. Install iTunes on the laptop, then hold shift immediately after clicking on the iTunes shortcut to get the option to choose or create a new library. Navigate to your network share and open the iTunes Library.itl file. Don't try to access the library from two machines at the same time.

  • Is there a way to break my iTunes Library into multiple libraries?

    Hi,
    I have a huge library...53,000 songs, 585GB of music.  I'd like to use iTunes Match, so I'm wondering if there's a way to create a different library, where I could copy 25,000 songs from the "Master" library, to have iTunes Match use?
    Any help appreciated,
    Geoff

  • Is there a fix for itunes 10.5 win xp and/or is there a way to convert my itunes library to 128/256k/bps (vbr)so songs are listenable?

    RE:ROBOT NOISE  WIN XP BITRATE PROBLEM..is there a fix or is there one on the way for itunes 10.5 for win xp bit rate problem,a.k.a. :robot noise,and or is there a way to convert my music files to itunes plus - 128/256kbps(vbr) as this is the only format that plays right?

    I don't know of any utilities that can repair audio files, just as there is no auto-picture repair utility. However, due to the structure of an aac file (and for iTunes they all come "wrapped" in an mp4 wrapper), it depends on where the damage is. Your aac file is actually comprised of around 60 'atoms' and only 1 of them ("mdat") is the audio. If the damage occurred in a non-mdat atom, you might be able to resurrect your m4a file.
    See if you can open these songs in Quicktime Player, and export then as AIFF, and then re-import them using iTunes. You can also direct copy the audio track with a more comprehensive tool called MP4Box (part of an opensource tool called "gpac"). You can get a mp4box binary in a tool called ffmpegx. You'll have to choose "show package contents" and use it Terminal.app's command line:
    /Supply/path/to/--->/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/MP4Box -add ~/Desktop/Closer.m4a#audio -new ~/Desktop/try.m4a
    (substitute the ~/Desktop paths with your files; note: you depending on your files, the '#audio' might need to be replaced with '#TrackID=1' or appropriate number).
    I would advise you to try the mp4box way first (to minimize audio loss with multiple conversions) and listen to each song, checking each. If it fails, then I would try the Quicktime way. If that fails, I would go back to the source material. Whether you use Quicktime or mp4box, you'll loose the metadata. You'll need to re-do that.
    and I agree with dwb that iTunes didn't cause it. I would save things to cdr/dvdr before your data loss gets larger.

  • Itunes on my G4 powerbook wont recognise my library created on itunes 11

    I want to import my itunes library from my hardrive to my G4 powerbook.
    Power book running OS X 10.5.8 and Itunes 10.6.3
    I have tried to import my Itunes library created on itunes 11.1.3 but the poser book says it cant open the library because it was created on a later version of itunes.
    Is there some way of updating the power book of changin my library so I can import it.

    If you have an iTunes Music folder, import that. Whichever folder they're in can be located by finding the m4a files and navigating up the folder structure.

  • Is there any way to transfer non-itunes store music to your iTunes?

    I kind of killed my macbook, and it had to go to mac support and in order to make it happy and shiny again they had to wipe all of its memory.
    Now, I've restored the song purchased on itunes to my itunes, but
    1. The iTunes/MacBook doesn't seem to be living harmoniously with my iPod, any way to make them realise they are long-time friends?
    2. Is there anyway to switch my non-iTunes-purchased stuff to my MacBook from my iPod.
    3. Finally if no. 2 can't be done, since I've already transfered the purchased stuff from my iPod onto my itunes library again, should I just choose the "Erase and Sync" option since when I connect them it gives me a ramble then the options " Cancel", "Transfer Purchases" which I've already hit/done, or "Erase and Sync" because I know the last will mean that I will have to put all my CDs back on, but alas, that may be what I have to do, but will that at least make them live harmoniously again with my purchased stuff safe?
    Sorry about the length of the question, and thanks to whomever reads it.

    2. Is there anyway to switch my non-iTunes-purchased stuff to my MacBook from my iPod.
    Try Senuti.
    It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
    As is Music Rescue.
    There's also a similar program called Yamipod which has a Mac version.
    I've used all of these on a Mac with great success.
    If you want to retrieve playlists, iPodRip has the feature enabling you to reconstruct them.
