Using existing iPod to create library

I had a computer meltdown -- lost everything. Gave away most of the CDs for this iPod (I have 2). How can I "download" the music from the iPod to create a new library? HELP!

I too am looking for this answer, as an upgraded (name brand) internet security package re-wrote all my registry keys and I could not backup my existing iTunes library.
I had to use my recovery disks, and now iTunes will not let me transfer the 900+ songs etc to the updated library. Purchases - fine, everything else - forget it.

Install: using existing database vs creating new database

Which one do you recommend?

Hans has done a good job pointing out the pros and
cons but I reject some of his reasons for using the
default database:I also reject some of the reasons I state - but I state them as they need to be presented before they can be rejected. <g>
My point is simple - you gather all the reasons first and then accept or reject based on your specific environment. What works for me may not work for you.
>
- potentially tuned to EM needs;
==> Read the install notes for oracle recommended settings...not hardHow many people read any install manual? Especially these days ...
People will probably skim the internet to determine that it's possible to install on a separate database, and will often target a database that has sufficient space.
I doubt if 1 in 10 would even consider that the OMR will put a load on the CPU or would think to change the DBs settings based on a compination of "what si best for the applications in the DB" and "what is best for the OMR"
>
- on the same machine as OMS;
==> an existing database can also be on the same
machineIf the OMS load pushes the machine to require another CPU and that forces the purchase another CPU license, then I would consider getting the OMS the h*^l off the machine on to a separate server.
AFAIK, you pay for the DB license, but there is no per-cpu charge for the OMS. So, like any client, you can install the OMS anywhere you want. I'd appreciate any documentation to the contrary.

- specific DB version selected (that is known to work
woth OMR);
==> you should check metalink for the latest versions
and what is supported ANYWAY...Again - you assume person reads. <g>

Which privileges are needed to create workspace for using existing schema

Hi,
until now I always created new workspaces creating new schemas.
today I decided to use existing schemas. i created an user (default tablespace "users", with a lot of privileges (create any context, create table, etc..)
i tried to create a workspace.
now i got an error: no sufficient privileges for tablespace "users".
how to solve ?
Leo

Leo, you might try altering your site preferences using the apex_admin app so that it doesn't try to install the sample/demo applications during workspace creation. Then repeat the provisioning attempt. If it works, then you'll know the error had something to do with sample/demo app creation in the schema. If it still gives you an error we'll know that too.

I have an existing ipod that I use with my mac. I am trying to connect an additional ipod to it but when I try and register, it just brings up the existing info. I don't want to lose the original info or library - just create new for this device. Pls help...

We are starting from the beginning like its a new ipod starts out asking language, country,location services,choose a network,and when we get to "setup ipod touch " there are 3 options 1..setup as new ipod, 2.restore from ipod backup 3 restore from itunes backup and when we hit setup as new ipod and click next it comes up with sign in with apple id or create a free apple id we clicked create a free apple id....then comes up with bday,1st name last name, use your current email address, get a free icloud email address or change email address and THIS is where we have problems....if we hit change email address it means that sis's stuff goes under his name and moves all her stuff to this older ipod which the brother does not want. sorry this is so long but its the only way I knew to do it.

HT3965 I have an ipod with itunes loaded on it. I bought a new iphone 5C and want to set it up. It wants me to create a new account. Should I create a new account or use the existing ipod account?

If you want you're apps and content on you're iPhone then use you're existing account. If not then create a new account.

Using existing library

How would I use my existing library with a new shuffle ipod? I have over 6,000 songs which are synced with my 30GB 5G ipod. Would I just create a seperate playlist up to 240 songs and manually sync with the shuffle?
Thanks

Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly from the larger iPods but it can still be used with your existing library, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
There are also a few different ways to use two iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

Can I use my ipod and an iphone on the same itunes library?

Hey deepseablue71

How do you use the same itunes library for multipul ipods/iphones? >
First of all, when it comes to music I create playlists. That makes it more easy to handle on different devices.
When I plug in my iPhone I select the playlists, video or other data I want to have and sync. Same with my iPods. After that I have similar playlists and data on my iPhone and iPods, even calendar and adressbook are updated.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

Use existing external hard-drive music library with new laptop.

I moved my I-tunes library to an external hard-drive on my previous laptop. That worked fine. After a hard disk crash I am now configuring a new laptop (installing I-tunes) and I would like to keep my music on the external hard drive: How do I proceed?

Depends on whether you had your complete library (including the iTunes database) on the external drive, or just your media files and folders. If the former, you can just hold down shift as you start iTunes, and when you get this is prompt:
click on Choose Library... then navigate to and select the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
In the other case - and assuming that you can't copy or retrieve the database file from your old machine or a backup of it, create a new library in X:\iTunes (where "X" is the drive letter of your external drive, make sure the settings in Edit > Preferences > Advanced are as follows:
and then use File > Add Folder to Library... to add your existing media folders.

Using 2 ipod shuffles on 1 library?

Hi, I'm currently using a 2nd gen shuffle on my itunes library, it works perfect. I would like to purchase a second shuffle for the gym...my question is can I use a second shuffle on my iTunes library? Can the library detect a second ipod shuffle and create a seperate playlist? Or should I create a new user account on my imac?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Check this out. Using multiple iPods on one computer

How do I transfer existing ipod playlists that includes my own CD songs from a former computer to a newly authorized computer that ONLY has the iTunes songs I purchased appearing in my library without losing my ipod FULL song lists?

Worried if I sync, I'll loose all the songs on existing ipod that don't appear in new library. I backed up my former FULL itunes library (purchased songs and my own CD's I burned into library) from old computer to an external hardrive so I have the music files. Is there a way I can load from external drive former itunes library directly into new itunes library? THANKS!!!

I just had to do this very thing. I'm sure there are other ways but IMO the easiest is to haven the old computer set up on the same network as the new computer then turn on home sharing on both computers and move the old library into the NEW computer. if the old computer is not available anymore you can plug in the external drive and go into itunes and under the file tab there is an option to add to library by file or folder I f your library is big this can be a tedious process. Good Lucl

HT5622 Can you use more than one apple ID on the same computer? I can't sign in and out and sync my iPod because my library isn't on there.

My sister has an iTunes account on our main computer, and I have one on our laptop. I want to be able to sync my iPod with the main computer, but I can't because my library is on the laptop. Is there any way to sync my iPod with my library on the computer?

Yes
http://www.imore.com/how-use-multiple-apple-ids-one-computer-and-itunes
However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

How to use Airport Extreme to create a second wireless network with different IP addresses behind an existing modem/router?

Hi,
I have an existing modem/router from my ISP that does DHCP and NAT with base IP 192.168.1.1 distributed in the wireless network. I use this wireless network for our private devices. I could turn off the DHCP server in this first router, but there isn't a separate setting to turn off NAT.
I want to connect my Airport Extreme (4th gen) to this existing router to create a separate wireless network for visiting guests, where IP addresses of 10.0.0.0 etc. are used. So I do not want to use the Airport Extreme in bridge mode, as I would like to keep the devices on the first network 'invisible' for those on the second network. (P.S. when connected in bridge mode, the Airport works well and can distribute a network with a different name from the first. It's just that I would feel more comfortable about our privacy if the Airport were to distribute a different IP range. False security, maybe?)
I've tried doing this by 'Sharing a public IP address' in Airport Utility's Internet tab, leaving TCP/IP's setting to 'via DHCP', setting DHCP addresses to start with 10.0.0.2 up to 200 with all else blank, and not using a standard host nor NAT-PMP in the NAT tab.
When I do this the Airport complains of a 'double NAT issue'. Internet connectivity seems to be OK, but when switching between the two networks on my Mac I get complaints about my IP address being in use by another device intermittently.
Can anyone help in how to get the 'double NAT issue' resolved?
Thanks!

So if someone is connected to the modem/router network they will be able to see the HD I will have put in to the AirPort Extreme?
As I said above.....since the modem/router and AirPort are bridged, devices on the modem/router wireless will be able to "see" devices on the AirPort wireless, and vice versa.....
If they can see the HD connected to the AirPort Extreme, will they be able to access it
Yes, unless you plan to password protect the drive connected to the AirPort Extreme.
or will they still need the password needed to get onto the AirPort Extreme network?
The modem/router and AirPort Extreme are bridged. They are on the same network. All devices are on the same network when the modem/router and AirPort are bridged. Not sure how else that I can say this.
Also, because it is bridged, I shouldn't have any problems accessing the HD I will have connected to the AirPort Extreme from an external location?
Accessing devices from a remote location is never easy....and a topic for a different post/discussion. If you have a "static" Internet IP address from your provider, and have all the details on how to forward ports on your modem/router, you are off to a good start.
Apparently there is some addressing issues because devices can be seen as "Double IP" because the modem/router would have allocated IP's as well as the AirPort allocating IP's thus making connections slower until resolved
When you "bridge", all IP addresses are issued by one device. There will be no conflicts on the network, since they are bridged.
Once again, in very simple terms, you have two doors (access points) that open into the same room (network). One "door" is the modem/router and the other "door" is the AirPort Extreme. They are on the same network....("room") because they are bridged.

My question is, when i bought my sons ipod I created the account with my email, the I purchased an ipod as well and used to same account. I want him to have his own account so he can't access my itunes money.

My question is, when I bought my sons ipod I created the account with my emai, then I purchased an ipod as well, so we share an account. I want him off of my account. How do you do that, he has his own computer.

His own password for what? You can only have one password for one account.
He can use your account for items and he can also use his own account. To purchase items with a different account you go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign into the other account.
To update apps you have to sign into the account the purchased them.
