Hi there! The separate library thing is working great. I've got almost all of my Christmas music moved over. Now, for the tricky part. Even though I literally moved it all to the new library, my Christmas stuff is still showing up in my default Itunes library. Is there a quick and easy way to make it update itself to reflect the changes I've made? Thanks in advance for your help. If I can solve this last little problem, this is the ideal solution, and I might make other librarys for different styles. Yes, I know I can work more easily with playlists, but I like the separate libraries idea a lot for stuff that is distinctly different. Well, thanks again for your help, and I hope that you're having a great day! Missy

Then VO right arrow over to the music table and interact. Each song has a checkbox. Just find the box and uncheck them manually or, after you interact with the table press command A to select all then bring up the context menu with VO shift M and select uncheck selections. To create a new iTunes library hold down the option key while iTunes is opening. A dialog will ask you to choose or create a new library. Pick create. Then all you have to do is just import only your christmas music. hth Ricardo Walker [email protected] Twitter & Skype: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Dec 20, 2011, at 3:06 AM, Missy Hoppe wrote: > Thank you very much for your response.

Well, now that I think about it a little more, I don't see why you couldn't make a brand new music library and just put your christmas music in it. Actually, thats probably the best way to go here. > > hth > > Ricardo Walker > [email protected] > Twitter & Skype: rwalker296 > www.mobileaccess.org > > On Dec 19, 2011, at 10:21 PM, Missy Hoppe wrote: > >> Hello, all.
