Itunes libraries

[Stacey Robinson]

Hi all,
I have two iTunes libraries  on my mac running lion.
How can I combine them so that everything is in one library?
Step by step instructions are greatly appreciated.

Have a blessed day.

Re: How to sync two iTunes Libraries?

[Gabriele Battaglia]

Ciao Kayaker, yes, I think you centered the question at 100%.

The idea to have the whole library on a NAS it sounds cool to me, even thought 
I will loose its portability.

Did you mean I would access it with just one computer at a time?
So: if I'm listening music with MBP and I open iTunes on the iMac, I will 
receive an error cause the second computer can't access the shared library?

I'm also considering the idea to subscribe one year of iTunes Match but the 
weird is that you must continue to pay year after year, in order to keep them 
synced.

Anyway, thank you for your kind answer.
Gabriel

Re: How to sync two iTunes Libraries?

[Kayaker]

Hi,

Short answer is no. You cannot easily keep a iTunes library synched across two 
computers.  

I know home sharing was suggested, but that is sharing, not synching.

The two closest work arounds for this that I know of are these:
1. Use a library on a NAS, that both computers use. Lots of problems here in 
that only one can write to the library at a time. Works best if you are doing 
this and can only open it from one computer at a time. Of course, this means 
your library isn't portable, since it lives on your network.
2. Use a copy or synch utility like carbon copy cloner or another app to synch 
your music folder between the two computers on a scheduled basis. This assumes 
you have iTunes manage your music so everything is in that folder. You'll want 
to keep latest version dates on items as the copy rule.

But as for iTunes, it was never designed to do this and there's no nice 
solution.

Good luck.

Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely prevents you from asking the 
questions.

Re: How to sync two iTunes Libraries?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

homeSharing doesn't really just sync automatically.  It requires you to go into 
the HomeShared Library of the other computer, telling it to show items not on 
this computer, then importing those over to the computer you're sitting at.  
You can access the other HomeShared Library by pressing VO-space on the "Music" 
pop-up menu just to the right of the Search field.  When you navigate through 
that pop-over, you'll see the other HomeShared Library that you can access.  
Finish one computer then do the same for the other and the media should all 
reside on both machines.  In the future, when you open iTunes, it should poll 
for other HomeShare computers and copy over purchased media.

Remember, this is not a total sync, it will not sync playlists and such, this 
sort of syncing requires a subscription to iTunes Match, although iTunes Match 
is only for your music library, it does not do anything with your other media.  
There are other rather messy ways of forcing your iTunes Library to be on one 
machine and attempting to share it with others, but this can be problematic 
when you attempt to run iTunes from outside your Home network.

Thank you Tim.
I have HomeSharing both active on my MBP and iMac, but the libraries are still 
different.
I'm signed in with the some (the only I have) Apple ID.
What do I have to do in order to start the Sync process?

Re: How to sync two iTunes Libraries?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

HomeSharing is found under the File menu.  When you turn on HomeSharing, you 
must use the same AppleID on both machines and they must also both be on the 
same network subnet to be visible to each other.  There are settings within the 
HomeSharing pane that tell iTunes to look at other computers with HomeSharing 
turned on for new music, apps and other iTunes media for syncing purposes.  You 
can use HomeSharing to stream media from the other computer and/or copy that 
same media between computers.  HomeSharing is also the protocol used by the 
Apple TV to stream media from various computers in your network.

HTH.

Re: How to sync two iTunes Libraries?

Hi,

When you have HomeSharing enabled on both machines, you can make it so that 
they check each others Libraries for new purchases and sync.  Or, you could use 
the iTunes Match service through Apple which will also maintain synced 
playlists along with all your music.

Re: Changing between itunes libraries.

[Neil Barnfather - TalkNav]

As has been suggested, I have one library for 4 iOS devices, all have different 
sync profiles in terms of what is and what is not synced.

Simply connect your iOS devices all at the same time and manually manage the 
sync for each category rather than saying all.

Re: Changing between itunes libraries.

[Alex Hall]

Select your iOS device from the sources list, select the music radio button, 
then find and select the "manually manage music" option. You should now see a 
list of artists, one of albums, and one of playlists, each with a checkbox next 
to it. Check only the items you want synced and then sync. You might want to 
create a playlist called "iPad music", then select only that playlist to sync 
with your iPad. Do the same for your iPhone, and you need only modify the 
playlists in iTunes and then sync to change the music placed on your iOS 
devices. I hope this made sense.

Changing between itunes libraries.

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi all.

I am working with more itunes libraries, because I find it difficult to have 
all my music added to my IPhone library, I can not figure out how to only add 
some albums to my IPhone. Besides I also have an IPad, so I need to have more 
librarys. I normaly change library with command o to ope  itunes quickly 
followed by option. I am trying to learn my sighted mother to do this, but that 
will not work. I also have to admit that it gives some problems sometimes when 
ITunes will not go into library chooser. Can I do something else to change 
librarys.

Best regards Annie.

Re: iTunes libraries

[Esther]

Hi Bill, Nick, and Others,

To move your iTunes library contents to another hard drive, the best
way of handling this is by using the "Organize library…" option under
the "Library" submenu in the "File" menu on the iTunes menu bar.  This
step is taken after you designate the new location for your iTunes
library using the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences, as Nic
outlined.

The most complete discussion of this process, including all the most
common wrong ways that people use to do this, is given in the iLounge
tutorial guide on "Transferring your iTunes Library" from November
2011.  It also explains the differences between dealing with the
database files and the data content in iTunes:

In case that long link breaks, here's a shortened link to the same
page:


This question was recently asked on the mac-access list, and I've
excerpted this information from my reply in the Mail Archive post for
that list, linked below:
• Re: iTunes Media Folder (September 12, 2012)
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/msg12950.html
That post links to an earlier post to the mac-access list that goes
into considerably more detail explaining the sections of the article
that apply specifically to moving an existing library to an external
hard drive:
• Moving iTunes library to an external drive [was Re: Itunes question]
(February 6, 2012)
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/msg07714.html

HTH.  I tried looking for a similar post in the macvisionaries
archives, but I couldn't find any explanations that were as complete
or up to date.  However, in general you can find tutorials on various
subjects relating to iTunes at the iLounge site:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/tutorials/

When you read the individual links, remember to use Safari reader
(Command-Shift-R) after activating the link for each article.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: iTunes libraries

[Nicholas Parsons]

I'm not entirely sure, but you could try the following:

1. Delete your entire current library of music and movies, but do not send the 
files to the trash.

2. In preferences, in the advanced pane, select the new location you'd like to 
use for your iTunes Media library (e.g. an external disc).

3. Either
(a) Copy the Music and Movies folders from your iTunes Media Library folder to 
the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in the new iTunes Media folder on your 
external HD;
or
(b) Ensure the "copy music files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" 
option in the advanced pane of iTunes preferences is checked, and then go to 
file > add to library, and add your old Music and Movies folders to your iTunes 
library.

4. Once you've re-added all your music and movies to iTunes by one of the 
methods in point 3 you could delete the Music and Movies folders from your old 
iTunes Media folder and then empty trash to free up space.

You should probably create a back up duplicate of your Mac before trying this 
in case it works out badly.

All the best and hope some of this helped.

iTunes libraries

[Bill Holton]

Hi.
How can I move my iTunes library to a different hard drive?
I know I  can copy the two folders movies and music to a different drive, and 
then tell iTunes to look at those folders. But is there a database file I 
should remove first and have iTunes rebuild so I don't end up with a lot of 
duplicates, half of which would no longer  reach their intended targets question

other ITunes Libraries

[Ray Foret Jr]

Hi there y'all.

Sometimes, when I try to synch my Iphone, that goes wel; but, I get a dialog 
that says "Your Iphone is currently synched to another ITunes Library.  Do you 
want to erase all the contents of your phone and synch with another library?  
So far as I am aware, there is only one  ITunes library on my system; that 
found in the
~/Music folder.  How do I find out which library my Iphone is synched to and 
choose which one I really want so I can manually move stuff over to it and get 
rid of all the ones I don't want?


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

accessing iTunes libraries/content without iTUnes running

[Scott Howell]

All,

I have been trying to dig up information, which would enable me to stream 
movies and the like over my network to my Apple TV or other Macs on the 
network. I wanted to avoid leaving a machine up if possible, but perhaps I will 
have no options.
I have heard there are NAS devices that will allow you to stream audio by 
having machines access the iTunes library that lives on the NAS and the NAS 
acts as an iTunes server. However, apparently this really only applies to audio 
and not video. My goal is to put all my DVDs on the network and make it 
available to my family (those in my house of course). If I have to use a 
machine, has anyone tried using Leopard to pull this off running iTunes? I have 
an iMac G5 sitting here that would do the job for the most part. I might even 
by compressing the movies get most all on the internal drive. I do not recall, 
but I also believe iTunes has to be running as well, is that correct?

Thanks,
Scott
