all the songs are accidentally left organized files

Hi all

I moved accidentally all my songs out their records organized iTunes.

The songs are all still in the music folder, but are now loose in there, and all of their files are empty.

I find that all my songs are still playing very well, but just do not know if maybe I should get iTunes somehow to put them all back (?)

Since then, I rebooted my Mac and reinstalled an .itl for her, so not looking is not a cancellation, but rather an organizing method that would not risk ruining his perfect current functionality.

Any ideas on that?

Thank you!

I think probably the best thing to do would have to drag the iTunes folder automatically added to.

iTunes 9: understanding the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3832 - files placed in this folder are actually moved from this folder to the correct location in the iTunes Media folder.

Items already in the list of iTunes library do not appear a second time.

    See make a library of portable split. Have you copied the correct .itl file, or should you connect an external hard disk .itl file? If you can find the correct .itl, it should have all your songs and playlists. See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library when the library has been altered for the first time with the new system. If you have to start creating your new library in an iTunes folder to the root of the external drive and move all the media inside... \iTunes\iTunes Media before adding to the library.

  • reinstalled itunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated

    r

    I reinstalled iTunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated. How can I delete everyone else?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

  • All the songs are free for members of apple's music.

    Hello

    I am new to the community of apple support. I have a doubt on apple's music composition. I took membership in the music from apple last week. are all the songs in apple's music libraries is free or not? If it's free, so why it ask for money from itunes store (Desktop)?

    Kind regards

  • downloaded an album purchased from itunes on my IPOD and all the songs are cut one or two minutes before the end of the song! Help, please

    I bought an album (Hot Tuna for $16.99. All songs downloaded on my IPOD, but all songs have been cut until they end. I contacted Apple and have not heard a thing. Did not get a refund either. Someone please tell me what is happening. Thanks, Jeff

    Try to remove the music album / iPod by it slide to the left and tap on delete for each song. Repeat this until you have removed the album in full, and then try redownloading the album from iTunes on your iPod. If the problem persists try restarting your iPod by pressing and keeping the Power + Home keys until the iPod reboots.

    I hope this helps!

  • After the transfer of the library to new Mac, all the songs are duplicated

    I got a new iMac and launched iTunes and signed on my Apple account, where all my music presented themselves as available in iCloud.

    I then transferred the iTunes library to the iMac for my old Mac laptop.  Now each song appears twice, once with the cloud, indicating that it is not on my computer but in the cloud and the cloud is dashed outline, indicating that the path on my computer is awaiting transfer to the cloud.

    I don't know if it's just another bug of iTunes/iCloud or if I messed up the transfer.

    Any suggestions?  Thank you!

  • Not all the songs in a playlist are synced to iPod nano

    I checked a checkbox to sync a playlist consisting of 13 songs to my iPod shuffle, but only 2 of them are synchronized.

    Screenshot of a playlist in iTunes: https://i.imgur.com/V5MJEx6.png

    Screenshot of a playlist on iPod shuffle: https://i.imgur.com/4k1q5Gk.png

    Evidence any reading list is checked to be synchronized: https://i.imgur.com/B8Kp5Dt.png

    Listen to songs in iTunes itself on my computer. I would definitely say no songs are in their "native" to iTunes format, since I had to download from youtube and convert them to iTunes, but they're there and playeable, so I'm expecting to be transferred.

    Is this a known problem and how would I fix it? Thank you!

    I would definitely say no songs are in their "native" to iTunes format, since I had to download from youtube and convert to iTunes

    All the songs that do not synchronize these converts are songs?  That do sync the two aren't these songs converted?

    In iTunes, see list of reading, do a right click on one of these songs that are not in sync, and then read the information.  In the info window, go to the file tab.  That said it for the type and bitrate?

    In addition, the file Info tab, find location.  She gives a file path to the location of the song on your disk file, or should I say iCloud?  If she says iCloud, the song is not stored locally, so it does not sync.  And since these are not purchased songs from iTunes Store, IF they are only in iCloud, they must be in your music to iCloud library.  If would be important to know if yourmusic to iCloud library emanates a subscription to Match iTunes or Apple's music.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Album artwork are the same for all the songs

    I have a bb bold 9780. I recently added a folder to the top 40 uk... and I guess that each song has its own pocket... but in my case, my bb is showing a cover of a song from this record to all the songs... even when I download songs of songlover.pk every song has its own cover art, but it will show a unique work for many songs downloaded from this site... I noticed that it is caused due to the name of the folder, for example. A folder named "single" has 2-3 songs will show an illustration of common album... Please help me...

    Hey parampramit,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Thanks for the question.

    We are aware of this problem, this problem is solved by using BlackBerry Device Software 7.0.  However, this version of the software is not available for the BlackBerry Bold 9780 smartphone.

    In the meantime, follow these steps and test the cover of the album:

    1. In iTunes or Windows Media Player, select this option to change the albums
    2. Enter the correct Album for each album artist
    3. Transfer the songs to your BlackBerry smartphone.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    See you soon.

  • File navigation on OS x using openDlg() - why all the folders are grayed out?

    I am configuring a file and folder browsing dialog that works for the two Win/OSX and with filters to narrow the search to specific file types dialog box. I received a lot of help from another user on the forum (Matias Kiviniemi) in order to obtain the function of filter working - but now I have another problem: a little strange.

    When you browse the files under OSX, all the folders are greyed out!error.jpeg

    You can always navigate (somewhat) via the Favorites list and directory tree button at the top in the Center, but actually clicking in the records does not at all.

    I also tried saveDlg() to browse the files, but I have exactly the same problem with greyed out records. SaveDlg() is not the second parameter (the filter function) to restrict the dialogue to a specific file type - which is something that I need.

    // Utility functions for checking if the OS is Win/OSX
    function isWindows(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Windows") >= 0
    }
    function isMac(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Mac") >= 0
    }
    
    
    // All params below are strings
    function promptFile(dialogMessage, dialogType, extFilter, oldPath){
    // Description: Opens up a file or older dialog window for browsing (Win/OSX)
    // Returns: Absolute path (string) to the file or folder that was picked by the user
    
    
        // File
        if (dialogType == "file"){
    
    
            // Create filter function for the File.saveDlg -function
            var filter = null
            if (isMac()){ // OSX
                if (extFilter){
                    var filter_regex = new RegExp("[^\.]*\."+extFilter+"$")
                    filter = function (file_entry){
                        return filter_regex.test(file_entry.name)
                    }
                }else{
                    filter = function(){ return true } // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else if (isWindows()){ // Win
                if (extFilter){
                    filter = extFilter.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + extFilter.slice(1)+"-files:*."+extFilter
                }else{
                    filter = "All files:*.*" // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else{
                filter = null
            }
    
    
            // Create file dialog
            var path = new File(oldPath);
            // var dialog = path.saveDlg(dialogMessage, filter); // Same kind of error with saveDlg
            var dialog = path.openDlg(dialogMessage, filter, false);
    
    
        // Folder
        }else if(dialogType == "folder"){
            alert("folder diag:\n" + oldPath);
    
    
            // Create folder dialog
            var path = new Folder(oldPath);
            var dialog = path.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            while (dialog.alias){
                dialog = dialog.resolve.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            }
        }
    
    
        if (dialog){
            return dialog.fsName.replace(/\\/g, "/") // Back to Front slashes
        }
    }
    

    I'll cross post since my last response to the other crossed the moderation and released after you posted this (and it is relevant for this topic)

    There seems to be backup dialog boxes _SEVERAL_ versions

    • file_entry.saveDlg (): file_entry content is the default value, but do not know if he has locked her
    • File.saveDialog (): same as file_entry.saveDlg, but none value of screening. Maybe it is not locked to original dir
    • folder_entry.saveDlg (): looks identical to file_entry.saveDlg, do not know if there is a difference.
    • Folder.selectDialog: seems more versatile, "simply to choose a file.

    You probably just do some trial and error to choose one that fits, what are the rules everyone has. So far I think Mac has no option for "create a new file, but only this extension." Extension filter only seems to apply to existing opening and win (although even there, he hides just, you can actually set different extension in her typing).

    Confusion between the part which is the "grayed out of all cases" it would imply in fact wants the filter even though the docs say it is not. I.e. you'd need to do a filtering function that accepts two folders or files with right like below (not tested)

    filter = function (fileSystemEntry) {}

    If {(fileSystemEntry instanceof file)

    Returns true

    } else {}

    return filter_regex.test (fileSystemEntry.name)

    }

    }

  • Download all the songs at the same time

    I have 3 400 + on my Apple Phone music and just got an iMac. I want to download all the songs in iTunes on the hard drive. What I have to download every song or album individually or is there a solution with a single right click download them all at the same time?

    Better would be to transfer them from your old computer to the new. In this way, you would hold playlists, ratings, etc.

  • FF28 upgrade & all the addons are showing that off, even if they are enabled

    Upgrade to FF28 & addons all + userscripts show that disabled, even if they are enabled.

    I already tried to delete:
    addons. JSON
    Compatibility.ini
    Extensions.ini
    Extensions. JSON
    Extensions.SQLite

    All that done as a cause of Firefox go in a "reboot several times 50 times more than one by one and each time asked me to manually install each addon. The process took more than 5 minutes and left me very impressed by the ability of Firefox bugs.

    End result? I am still sitting with the same problem. All the addons are showing that off, when they are turned on in fact. I cannot change them, uninstalled them or install new addons.

    PS. Oh and I write of Sleipnir not Firefox because Firefox has refused to work with the buttons on this page for some reason any (yes I'm allowing scripts in NoScript)
    PPS. Oh and my old account here for some reason some refused to open a session, even though I wrote the user name and password and I tried using the user AND email for the login process. Overall, very impressed with the services of Mozilla for now. I really want to move to a different browser.
    PPP. I have over 300 tabs open in Firefox, so can't go on the road to reset, because Firefox has no way to record a session.

    Honestly, Firefox must be transportable by default. What the point of having a browser that you spent 12 months + customization with 300 + tabs open, if your Windows partition is damaged and you cannot retrieve your tabs because it is installed? I will never use the installed version of Firefox again because it is impossible to save. If I had been using portable Firefox at the time where I could have accessed my XP partition corrupted with Ubuntu live USB, back up the folder and be good to go on my new install of Windows 8. Instead I had to start from scratch. That's what you get for not using of portable software.

    This is resolved. The steps that I followed:

    1. Ignore all the Internet advice and find a way to do it myself because no one else seems to know anything about Firefox.
    2. Save the entire Firefox portable folder making it a 7zip file
    3. Disable all addons
    4. Download the latest mobile Installer
    5. Install using the portable Installer but navigate up to the existing installed cell phone directory
    6. Open portable Firefox after updating
    7. Update all addons (do not select all again)
    8. Restart Firefox
    9. Now activate the addons, then restart Firefox

    Note: installing addons now I find that I can't add using the button 'Download' for the addon, I have to copy the URL of the button, paste it in a new tab and press enter

  • Playlists imported, but not all the songs won't matter

    I exported my playlists my macpro mnt lion and when I used my thumbdrive to import on my macbook pro (mavericks) some, but not all the songs from the imported selections. It just says: the files can be found--just before this that I imported the entire library, so I know that my whole library is on the macbook pro.

    Some files are mpegs and some are AAFC, but there is no correlation with what files are transferred correctly as its both.

    MacPro (mnt lion)--> macbook pro (mavericks)

    You must transfer your complete (in one piece) iTunes folder, which should include all your media files and your iTunes library database (where are stored the data supporting such as playlists, ratings, play count, date added, etc.).  Then iTunes on the new Mac looks like iTunes on the old Mac, with all your songs and playlists, because you use the SAME library. you do not add your media files to a new library.

    If you want more information on how to do it, instead of your playlist Exim problem troubleshooting, please post back.
