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.

    Hi @Phoenix-1921,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    Thank you for posting. I read your post and I understand that when you create the recovery media, it stopped and gave you the message of the one copy can be made. I wanted to help with that.

    Due to licensing restrictions, you can create one HP a computer recovery solution. This message appears when the recovery media has already been created. If you bought a previously used computer or store but the computer was already open, then recovery media has probably been created before you bought the computer and this message is normal. If the computer is less than a few years, then you will probably be able to get a HP recovery solution. There might be a fee according to the status of the security of the computer, the country / region the computer was purchased, and the condition that generated the message.

    Try to use Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml this programs often works when the normal functions of remove Vista not work correctly.

    If this does not work, you need to change the permissions and ownership on the file in order to have all the rights and the property (even on the inherited rights).  Then try Unlocker.  Here's the information to help you do.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    I hope this helps.

    You can (and should) get the free mp3tag: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

    Install mp3tag.  When you install, let it be added to the context menus (an option during installation).

    Open mp3tag and in tools, Options, Tags, Mpeg do option Write ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. Those are tags favorite rocket, and once make you it by default, whenever you save tags in mp3tag you will get tags Fuze and respectful.

    Your albums may not be labeled at all, or may be marked in ID3v1, who will not read the "rocket". So he goes to the title, if there is a title tag or file name if there are no tags.

    You can now right click on an album folder and see mp3tag as an option to open it. When you click mp3tag, you'll see the files listed. Put them in order from top to bottom - you can try clicking on the header of the track-number or the name of the header file if they are 01-Track 1. If you can align them up and down, highlight all the and click Dial automatic tools Wizard with the option of leading zeros. Bingo: Track numbers 01, 02, 03, and they will play in the order.

    Sometimes people put numbers to track on the file names and they list in alphabetical order by song title - not good. If the "rocket" Impossible to find track numbers and the name of the file is FirstSongTitle-01 (rather than 01-FirstSongTitle), the "rocket" will play them in alphabetical order by name of file: FirstSong, FifthSong, FourthSong, SecondSong, SixthSong, ThirdSong. Then you will have to put in one of the track numbers.

  • How can I delete a folder?

    I have a few files that I need is no longer. When I try to delete them, I get this message:
    The current order has no success. The e-mail server for the XXXXXX account replied: [can't} rename not supported in any of the conflicting directory permissions.]

    What does that mean?

    I think it must be an IMAP account, and when you delete a folder, it means that a request is sent to Thunderbird to the server to delete the Junk folder.

    Different systems use different rules for file names. Your server may have a bug, or it may deleting the folder generated a name that already exists, or which is not allowed. It is difficult to say.

    It may be easier to go to the website of your email provider, log in to your webmail it and delete the offending like that record.

  • I can't delete a folder. In addition, in some cases, I can't delete some files.

    Using Windows Explorer (Windows XP) I can't delete a folder. (The data are not a program).

    File attributes are set to "hidden files" and the folder is empty (0-byte and no files are in the folder).

    In addition, the folder properties (and file) / attributes are 'read only '. When I uncheck "read only" and click OK, then look again at this, the box comes back to "read only with a check mark. (???)

    When I try to delete the folder, the message says "no empty folder", and it won't delete.

    Also, when I try to delete some files (in other cases) some people will not remove.

    Help, please.

    The 'read only' box on issues is not what he says. ignore it.

    A folder will not delete if it contains a locked file.  You will need to unlock and remove the file first.

    "Some files" will not delete because they are locked - that is to say, they are in use by an application.  There is a utility called "unlocker" used to be recommended to correct this situation, but the download now includes adware that may be reported by your antivirus/antimalware dangerous application.

    An 'empty' file that will not delete can be fixed if you run chkdisk.  Click Start > run and type the following command, and then click OK

    chkdisk/f

    A window will open to inform you that chkdisk /f cannot be run while Windows is active and proposed to schedule a chkdisk for the next reboot.  Answer Yes and restart.  When chkdisk is complete, delete the folder.

    The files that appear to be in use can be deleted by one or more of the following techniques:

    A. deleting a command prompt window.  You need to know the name of full of the file path.  For example, if you try to delete a file named test.txt that is located in a folder named Non empty folder on your desktop and your user name is NR16020, the full path name is C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non empty Folder\\test.txt

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Use the del for the files command and the command rd for folders.  If the full path name includes spaces, include it with double spaces.  Using the example:
      del "C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder\\test.txt empty"
      'C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder Empty' RD

    B. remove in safe mode.  To access Safe Mode, restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 immediately after that the power on sequence is complete.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and need to try again.

    C. remove from a command prompt with closed Windows Explorer.  If the procedure fails because the file is locked, follow these steps:

    • Close all running applications
    • Open the Task Manager
    • Open a command prompt window
    • In the Task Manager process tab, right-click on explorer.exe, and then select end process
    • Open the command prompt window and follow the steps listed in point A above
    • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK
  • I can't delete a folder of my trash.

    I can't delete a folder of my trash. When I right click on it, it permanently deletes all the files and the folders that I have here, however it is still there. It is not a big problem, it's all just annoying. Please let me know if you have a solution. Thank you!

    Remember that this is the reason for having a SHARED NETWORK... you share all. If you and I are working on a project that is shared on the network, we could work on and update the project. If you don't want this to be the case, do not share some files on the network. In other words, if I don't want then it in my music, I do not share my music directory.

  • I can't delete a game called Float that gives the message waiting. The cross and the oscillation with delete option appear, but it won't when I select Remove. Any ideas please?

    I have a new mini iPad 4. I can't delete a game called Float that gives the message waiting. The cross and the oscillation with delete option appear, but it won't when I select Remove. I don't know how it came to be. Any ideas please? Thank you.

    First try a reset to see if it finishes downloading. Press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release the two buttons. Wait until the iPad tour starts on its own.

    Check if you can remove the application. If not go into settings > general > use iCloud and storage > storage > storage management. Wait for the list of apps to open. See if the float is on the list. If it is delete it from there.
