• Can I delete my folder "music" once that my music has been added to iTunes?

  I just make the switch from a PC to a Mac and I'm currently putting all upward. As someone who has never used iTunes before that I have a simple question:

  I had a music collection of reasonable size on my PC in a folder called "music". I copied this entire folder on a hard drive external and then pasted on my new iMac tab music in the finder. Then I started iTunes and added the majority (but not all) of the music in the folder "music" from my iTunes library. Am I right in thinking that iTunes actually another copy of all my music in the iTunes folder, which means that I now duplicated a lot of music? If he made a copy, can I now delete the folder "music" original? I took care until I copied it all from my PC that all of my pieces is in MP3 format only, not WMA at all.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you.

  If you have the default settings, the answer is probably yes.  To be sure, right-click any track in iTunes, choose 'Show in Finder', and you will see what copy of a song file iTunes uses.

  If you have another copy of the song file, iTunes didn't need, and you can remove at your discretion.

• Hello. I created a folder music on my external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I can now access the music through my media library.  How can I change the folder when I make new purchases to iTunes easily without doing it one by one

  I created a folder music on an external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I copied my music from my iTunes library in this folder access and can now my kodi media network.  How I updated the folder when I do new iTunes purchase without having to do it one by one thanks

  You can use a backup tool that updates only modified files.  You don't say what kind of computer you use.

  ITunes is actively using media on the external hard drive so you can replace it. Simply copy the media to one other player does not have iTunes it use it.  iTunes is probably still using media to your internal drive.

• Problem adding video to iTunes 12.5.1.21

  I've recently updated iTunes to 12.5.1.21. Now, when adding files mp4, iTunes is not placing them in the videos section as before but instead adding them to the music and the ability to change the type of media for movies or TV series does not appear in the tab options to read the information, it is only allows you to change other types of audio files. What is happening with several files. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

  I tried marking as movies files using the marking software. Files now appear in the correct location in iTunes but will not play again. I use iTunes on windows 10. Also trying to read the videos, instead of display the duration of the video it says LIVE.

• "Adding to playlist itunes purchase will download a copy on your computer.

  What it means?  (Long story) I've recently updated to El Capitan 10.11.3 and also iTunes 12.3.2.35.  I have no game because it caused many problems for me.  I was happy to see 'Music' as a playlist that shows everything in iTunes is in this version.  The previous version I was using on OS 10.6.8 had that.

  Looking at the list of reading music I noticed that I had a duplicate song.  We were already in one of my playlists where it belongs, and I could click "Show in Finder."  The other version was not in a playlist and I can't "show in Finder".  The quality of this version is better that the copy that I have on my computer so I decided to put the other in the trash and move the best copy in the playlist where the other was.  But when I tried I get this.

  "Adding to playlist itunes purchase will download a copy on your computer.

  I guess it is a purchased version, cloud or something and isn't really on my computer, Yes?  As far as I know, I don't have Apple cloud past.  I love my music real files on my computer and to be able to move them and organize them however and when I want to.  I don't want some music files mysterious that I may, or may not be able to listen to a certain point depending on what service I use, or a file that I need to download a copy whenever I want to put it in a playlist.  In addition, I don't want or need two copies of any song even if it's one I want, especially if I can't remove it if I want.

  What happens here?  I've stuck with iTunes all these years, but it seems that whenever I update something is even worse... or am I just stupid for not getting it?

  Okay what is happening with iTunes?  All my old playlists are gone and then this message "Add to itunes playlist purchase will download a copy on your computer" I just want to have playlists for my different moods, activities, etc..

  I burned a CD of music seems to have disappeared.

• Empty folder "Music" SOLVED!

  Greetings!

  I, like a lot of Sansa Clip 2 GB owners, took the music files in my folder 'music' disappear (even if my reported clip 1.9 GB of files were still there!). I tried to switch modes USB, firmware, etc, without success (very frustrating) updates. Anyway, here's what FINALLY worked for me today:

  In Windows XP (SP3):

  (a) make right click 'my computer' / 'properties '.
  (b) click on the tab "hardware".
  "(c) click on Device Manager.
  (d) expand the 'USB Bus controllers' tree
  (e) right click on the USB controller that has the marking "yellow" (no driver)
  (f) 'Update Driver' right-click option
  (g) wait a few moments while it searches for the driver...

  BOOM! At this point, I received the message:

  "Windows Portable device MTP update". So now I have a new tree in my called Device Manager:

  > Devices Windows Mobile
  -SanDisk Sansa Clip

  And now I see ALL my files in the 'Music' folder in any (auto-detect/MTP/MSC) USB mode!

  I hope it works for you all too!

  See you soon!

• How to recover the music Apple folder in iTunes?

  I just nuked my Mac and copied my username on an external drive first folder.

  Music bought and torn is in place but I can't the files downloaded music Apple back on the computer. It seems that it is something, but the number of songs does not change. I am connected to my iTunes account. Probably missing something really obvious here.

• music iTunes 12.4 deleted in the library (always in the 'Music' folder if...)

  The automatic update wiped out my library (only things I bought in iTunes are left and again only for release...)

  Fortunately, all of this still exists in my iTunes music folder. Advice on the best way to get iTunes to recognize?

  Cheers!

• Display music files in iTunes but do not appear under my folder music in XP

  I just opened the My Music folder, and most of my music files and folders have disappeared - I have no idea how that happened as I didn't move all the files to another location. However, these 'missing' files still play on iTunes, but when I search for them, they are not displayed. What can I do to make these files appear in the music folder?

  Thank you very much.
  * original title - Lost music files *.

  Unfortunately, I do not use any iStuff or iDevices.

  But if possible I would try to save the music files which are playable in a different location via the iTunes player - if possible.

  This can create an identical copy of your music, but it is better to create a backup copy while you still can.

  in all cases, sometimes the files become not indexed in the master file table.

  what you might try is to run a disk check which reconcile the file system.

  by the way, you either have your music files on the same drive that has your programs and windows system files?

  If so, then the music files can also be very fragmented.

  If it was my system I would separate permanently from the personal files, photo and music off the coast the main drive.

• What happens if I delete the contents of the my SubscriptionPlayCache folder in iTunes?

  Hello world

  I'm on a MacBook Pro (El Capitan 10.11.2, 2.4 GHz/4 GB), with 121 GB of Flash storage and I'm running out of hard drive space.

  I got a new time Capsule recently and more backups were transfer files to this (pictures, videos, etc.), but I just noticed the iTunes cache - specifically "SubscriptionPlayCache" has 9.1 GB of data in it. I regularly listen to music while I work, then, of course, that this has been over time.

  Will be the rumble of coming world down if I delete the contents of this file, leaving the folder itself in place (to begin its inexorable March upward the Hill of filling of storage)?

  Thank you!

  Music files Apple cache: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2015/09/new-flush-apple-music-cache-files/ - ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/ file, which is a bit like a "iTunes Media" folder for music from Apple

  You might find yourself with a bunch of broken links in iTunes for tracks pointing to these files. You could always delete those that many find that painful and unsightly to have them even.

• Restoration of music iTunes & playlists from Time Machine

  For some unexplained reason, iTunes decided to forget all my music and lists reading, although nothing had been knowingly changed. As much as iTunes is concerned, I don't have music and playlists.

  I see all the music is still on my hard drive, so import again would be probably to load my music into iTunes, but I have a number of large playlists that I also want to preserve.  I thought that it is better to ask advice before rushing in and possibly make things worse.

  My hard drive is backed up with Time Machine daily. What is the best way to return to how it was using TM?  What files should be restored?

  Try to hold down the option/ALT key at startup of iTunes and select the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder. If it's not search with spotlight.

  If necessary:

• I have a new laptop and when I transferred my music Itunes can't find it. Is that a large library is more quickly to locate my music than 1 file at a time

  I bought a new laptop and transferred my music from my old laptop to my new laptop, and when I downloaded the new version of ITunes, it couldn't locate my music. Is there an easier way to locate my music than 1 file at a time? It is a great library and will take several days to move each file. I have a new Toshiba laptop with windows 10 OS with an I7 CPU 2.60 GHz with 8 GB of RAM

  The "missing file" error occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the reader, he feeds has been a change to the drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

  Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl - I to get the information, and then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Because of a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say no twice!) Look under the Summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions. If the difference between the two railroads is an additional music directory in a path, then it is a problem of layout. I can explain more if this is the case. If everything is where it is supposed to be trying to fix the security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  In some cases, iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. He peut then offers to try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find the titles in the same layout artist & album that they were before, with a systematic change to the path.

  If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it difficult to restore media on the precise way that iTunes is expected. In this case, as long as the missing files somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script for reconnecting to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

  1. The location of the media file under Edit > Preferences > advanced
  2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location which begins file://localhost/
  3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details.

  Or you could go back to the old computer and see make a library of portable split, then copy the library into a portable State.
