Access to multiple Windows 10 accounts iTunes library

I have a system 10 Windows with a user account for each Member of the family (4 Standard accounts and 1 Administrator account).  iTunes Media folder is located at C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes media and this has been selected in the iTunes preferences / advanced.  Initially this has been in place since the administrator account and iTunes works very well from this account now.

However, I'm not able to access the public music library of one other Standard user accounts after you set the preferences of iTunes it correctly.  I don't think it's a matter of vs Standard administrator account, because in a Standard account, I can always navigate Windows Explorer to a song and read it in iTunes - I can't seem to get iTunes to display the entire library of music in my music.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

See make a library of portable split.

Set the media folder does not change what the iTunes library database is open when iTunes is running.

In a multi machine iTunes profile must be closed before moving the profiles of school boards.

A better location for a shared library is X:\iTunes, where X: is an internal drive or external connected locally. Leave the room for growth.

  • Windows Vista (damaged) iTunes library

    I have a PC with Windows Vista. My iTunes has about 8000 songs in my library. Most have been burned CDs, mp3 Youtube and a few itunes purchases.

    About 3500 are grouped into playlists. Only my playlists are synced to an iPod classic.

    I think that this old PC can be buggy and two nights ago, there was a question C: drive which

    the "repaired" computer itself - took a few hours...

    Today, I burned a few songs from the CD to add to my itunes library.

    Now these two CD accounts for almost my entire library - I can also find a few old Itunes purchases

    in the iTunes library.  But 95% of the library is "gone".

    There is a folder called Itunes library (damaged) which has 2.5 MB. I suspect that this is my previous library and playlists.

    I can't get it open.

    I really want to restore the entire library and transfer it to a new PC w Windows 10.

    Can anyone help?

    The song files are probably still stored on your computer.  The "damage" was to your file to iTunes (the one marked as "damaged") library database.  The iTunes Library.itl file is what keeps track of songs (and other media) in your iTunes library and where their media files are stored.  If it is damaged, iTunes creates a new (empty) iTunes library database file.  Real media files are not in the iTunes library file, they are stored elsewhere.

    I think that this old PC can be buggy and two nights ago, there was a question C: drive which

    the "repaired" computer itself - took an hour or two.

    NOTE: If there are general data corruption, it may have also affected some of your media files (not only your iTunes library database file).

    The default location (for your iTunes media files) is account user music (or music), and then in the iTunes folder in your folder.  Using Windows Explorer, to see if you have a folder called iTunes Media to this place (it can be called iTunes Music).  If you do, look inside to find your song files, organized by media type, then artist name and album name.  If you use default iTunes, songs that you imported to CD via iTunes should be there.  Songs purchased from iTunes Store should be at this place.  The song files added from an external source (not directly imported from CD or iTunes Store) may or may not be stored at this location.

    I really want to restore the entire library and transfer it to a new PC w Windows 10.

    When you find your music files, copy them to a disk of a certain type.  On the new computer, run iTunes.  Go to the Advanced iTunes preferences pane.  There is a setting here to copy files to the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media.  I think that the option is not checked by default for Windows, but you should check in your case.  The other setting to keep iTunes Media folder organized must also be checked, if it isn't already.

    Show your music library in the iTunes window.  In the external drive with your song files, drag the song files or folders containing music files to the iTunes window and the drop.  iTunes adds all the compatible media files it finds in your new iTunes library.  Alternatively, instead of drag and drop, you can use the Add to library iTunes command in menu bar, under file.

    NOTE: This adds only your old media files to a new iTunes library.  Data such as playlists, ratings, number of coin, date added, etc are not transferred.  If you want to retrieve these data support, you can get it back on the old PC.  Please report if you want to try to do, instead of just transfer your media files to the new PC.

  • cannot access my original Windows Live Mail account

  • Why don't the addition of metadata to be added manually in the iTunes library song change metadata in Windows Explorer and anywhere else?

    Adding metadata to a song in the iTunes library has no effect anywhere else (as in Windows Explorer or the Groove music).

    I would like to know if I have disabled this in error or if it is not guaranteed to all visitors.

    Where it is not provided to customers, I would like to know how iTunes stores this metadata and whether it can be automatically sent to the library of Windows.

    Thank you.

    A reason of changes committed to iTunes cannot be is covered in the tip of the user, fix the iTunes for Windows security permissions but iTunes usually returns to the original data if you probably don't see this particular problem. The other possibility is of several tags.

    Several tags (Mp3 files only)

    The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod and iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > None a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. For Windows users running a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag should handle this.

    Note that some data, for example the sides and the counties of game, is only stored in the database internal iTunes and not surrounded by tags.

  • the itunes library could not be saved you have enough greenest access for this operation

    I get the following message when I upload music when I am in itunes. the itunes library could not be saved. You have enough greenest access for this operation

    Hi WesleyJefferson,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: These messages occur if the permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or a folder in your designated music folder. The permissions are settings that determine who can read, write, or execute a file or a folder on your computer. Each file and folder on your hard drive has an associated permission set.

    Example: If the permissions are correct on your music folder, but incorrect on the U2 folder inside your music folder, you would be able to add other music to your iTunes library, but not this new U2 album.

    To apply permissions to a file or folder, see the article mentioned below:

    How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP

  • ITunes library and duplicate the items and folders of Windows Explrr

    I have a 2 or 3 General questions on iTunes.  I download all my iTunes on a PC and play really.  That is why the questions about iTunes folders in Windows Explorer.

    1 how to produce duplicates in the library?  I have loads.  I saw the advice to remove them.  This helps a little but it's still a task to be piecemeal.    How to stop what is happening in the first place?

    2 in addition to the duplicates.  Last night I went in Windows Explorer on the PC that I use to download and play iTunes and entered the iTunes Media/Music folder.   I walked carefully each folder album deleting duplicate here.   However, on opening iTunes itself today, duplicates all seem to be still there in the library list.   Why it did not work?  ITunes is not loading the content of this folder?  If this is not the case, why I was informed to support?

    3 What does the symbol of iCloud next to some of the tunes?  If I run the cursor over them, it says 'download '.   But surely I downloaded it when I bought and added to my library?    Why should I download it again?  That this symbol that the melody in question can not play if the PC is offline?

    4 one of the songs in my library list appeared today in my Windows Explorer iTunes Media/Music folder.   I can I have accidentally deleted while I was removing the duplicates it and have now downloaded it in the album in this folder.    Probably so, iTunes library does not constantly in the folder of music on a Windows PC?    He only takes over here if the backup is necessary?

    If so OK but other files appear in the library that do not exist and he asks me if I want to find the file?

    I guess that my confusion stems from the assumption that the iTunes Media/Music in Windows Explorer folder should indicate precisely what will appear in the library in the app.

    Vondegru,

    With regard to questions 2 and 4: iTunes does not automatically "load" all the files in the folders.  You can do an analysis of initial unique optional optional when you install iTunes, which will add all are compatible files in the iTunes library.  After that, files not added unless you take action to add.

  • My iTunes library creates multiple listings for the same artist (spelled identically)

    I use iTunes for years and thought I knew how to do everything that I need in there and solve any problem that I've run across.  But in the last 10-14 days, he began to behave strangely, and I'm completely stumped.  I don't know if it's a problem with a new version, if maybe my library file has become corrupted, or if I'm missing something obvious, but as someone who spends hours meticulously entering all the right data to my iTunes library, that drives me crazy.

    For some reason any recently, iTunes has begun to create several artist registrations for a handful of artists in my library (in only general I have a LOT of material for.)  Thus, for example, when I scroll my iTunes under 'Artists' library I noticed that Bruce Springsteen four times:

    Bruce Springsteen (12 albums, songs of 234)

    Bruce Springsteen (16 albums, 201 songs)

    Bruce Springsteen (2 albums, 22 songs)

    Bruce Springsteen (2 albums, 41 song)

    It would be only incredibly annoying, but it actually divides some albums through multiple "artists" so that securities 1,4,6,7 will be an artist under a listing and the rest on another.

    I created a smart playlist with the criteria ' artist contains 'bruce' "selected all titles of springsteen and changed the artist on EACH of them to ensure that there is no variation in spelling or spacing.  It does not exist. (Springsteen is the worst offender, having four entries of artist, but there's another 3-4 artists who do the same thing)

    It drives me crazy because there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, and it is debilitating to my efforts to clean and organize my library.  I try to avoid manually recharge all my music in iTunes I have dozens of playlists I've spent hours creating and would not have to start over on those.

    Any suggestions?

    You have already tried the first method, so try the other here:

    In theory, it should be possible to do it, assuming you have enough storage in OneDrive to host your music library.

    Before you try this, make sure that your library is portable and sustained upward.

    Make a portable split library

    This done, close iTunes and copy the iTunes folder in its entirety to the folder of a drive.

    Once the copy is complete, open iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key on your keyboard. This will allow you to select a library to load when loading iTunes.

    Point iTunes to the location of the folder to a drive where you copied the library and wait for it to load.

    Note: unless you have moved manually the folder from one drive to C:\ sound usually found in your user folder, not directly on the root of the C:\ drive.

  • IPod Classic (and iTunes library) from Windows to Mac

    Hey ppl, can someone help me with this one?
    My iPod Classic was initially connected to a PC, because I didn't have a Mac at the time. But I an and for a long time, and now I'm about to get a second.
    I was put in place with the PC mostly because my iTunes library has nearly 500 stored cd and I use my iMac only for work, I didn't want to fill his 500 GB drive with iTunes library. But now that I'm about to take my work to a new Mac, I thought that it was time to move my iTunes library to Mac, and I did it with the help of an external hard drive.

    Now, everything is ok with iTunes on Mac all the CDs and the works of art and library moved nicely.

    But when I connected the iPod it syncs ok, but does not receive a new cd that I just uploaded on the Mac.

    I have noticed that an already existing CD which I modified the work on the Mac, sync ok for the iPod, but not the new CD. The CD is an original, not a copy.
    I think it has to do with the iPod having been registered to another computer. I allow them the Mac, but still the CD is not transferred to the iPod.
    I want to get rid of my PC, but I need the iPod to work with the Mac.
    Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or doing wrong?
    Thank you

    I had checked the discussions over and over again before posting the question and do not find an answer, and now after posting the question, I found what solved my problem - iPod sync fine with the Mac. (to goodbye PC)

    "Kenichi Watanabe 26 February 2016 06:04 Re: Ipod connects to itunes, but does not synchronize "
    in reply to Umphreys21

    OK, that's fine.  So, just what is currently on the iPod is already in your new library iTunes, correct?

    When you start with a new iTunes library and add your existing content, the iPod sees it as a new iTunes library, not the old one that was previously used to synchronize the iPod.  The partners from iPod to your new iTunes library and the Tower WE Auto Sync, follow these steps...

    Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to display the parameters of the iPod in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

    NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    Check the box to Sync music.  This turns ON Auto Sync (and associate the iPod to your new iTunes library).  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Click apply.

    On a separate note, since you started with a new iTunes library, you have added all your content to your backup, but you probably do not have the additional data (such as playlists, ratings, play head, date added, etc.).  Depending on how you have saved your iTunes data, it may be possible to restore your full (not only your media) iTunes library.  You need to be good with the help of your new iTunes library, but if you want more information, thanks for posting back. »
