• Cannot see music in iTunes, even if it's in iTunes Media folder

  MacBook Pro running Yosemite

  iTunes 12.3.2.35

  I recently had an iMac decommissioning to my Macbook pro. I backed up all of the iMac on an external drive.

  I restored to the Macbook - btu then decided that I wanted to have my music on an external one, to save space on my macbook - so I moved the music folder more, without realizing that I also moved the itunes library. (I'm a DJ and intended to move my music files so only other not in iTunes - huge library).

  So now, I moved everything back to the iTunes media to the user/music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder.

  This includes applications, movies, music, podcasts - it's my entire iTunes. It's all sitting there in the folder. BUT, when I open iTunes there is nothing there.

  I tried to remove my macbook (iTunesLibrary.itl) iTunes library and replace it with the iMac (form backup) library file, but nothing has changed.

  I can see all the files in the music folder - if I click on a song it will open iTunes to play, but when I open iTunes it is as if he does not see the files.

  ?

  Have you tried to open iTunes by holding down the Option key? Select Choose library, then navigate to the

  user/music/iTunes/and click Open.

• Keep my organized the iTunes media folder

  I was running iTunes on my iMac with the music library on a NAS.  I have a MacBook Pro which also access the library. No problem.  Then my iMac died and I made the mistake of checking "keep my iTunes media folder organized on the MacBook.  Big mistake.  iTunes proceeded to totally presented the folder.  Now, the music play iTunes (file not found).  Albums are incomplete.  When I look at the files and folders on NAS, it is total disarray, with files and folders in all directions.  An album file which had 11 titles in her previouldy now has only 2 and I have no idea where are the other 9.  Another album has a folder that it contains that bears the name of a different album with all the tracks for this album in it.  Can someone help me to solve this mess?  Most of my music is ripped from CDs I own and some is on the cloud (I bought the Apple music).  Thank you in advance.

  iTune 12.4.3.1, OS X 10.11.3.

  Best regards

  Simon

  It seems to be a classic case of iTunes for some reason, do not like to work with NAS. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes locations of files and/or names may be wasted.  We don't know why, but it is likely how the NAS interface software works and editing a Unix Mac address format used for anything that uses the SIN.  The long-term solution is to use the NAS for backup and use a standard hard drive to the library (Yes, I know, you don't want to hear it).  The short term solution is to restore your library from your backup.

• iTunes Media folder TimeCapsule

  Hi all

  I know that this has been discussed already, especially on this post: Re: iTunes media folder resets is closed.

  I'm in the same exact situation, I moved my iTunes Media folder on my TC since space is a rare thing on a MacBook air... Now almost every time I open iTunes I have to manually change the media folder location that has changed the default location. It's really annoying...

  At first I put it on an external hard drive connected to the TC, but he was far too slow. Now directly on the TC, it's fast enough. I backup my media folder automatically on the external hard drive via a synchronization software.

  If I understand the above post, it's not ideal, and the best place to put the media folder remotely is an external HD connected directly to the mac. Which is a little stupid for a MacBook air...

  So my question is, what is the best configuration for avoid me the reset of the media folder, and store multimedia files on the network, or the TC?

  Thank you

• Y at - it a bug with the checkbox 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' preference?

  My iTunes for Windows version 12.3.3.17 music library has always organized automatically by itunes with all the files placed in the album and records of the artist, with the song title names preceded the disc number, track number, etc..

  I don't like it. This creates a maze of unwanted, unnecessary nested folders such as [name of artist]------\(tune list) [Album 1 name], [artist name]------[Album 2 name] \(tune list), etc.  or, in many cases, [artist name] \Unknown Album\(tune list).

  I have cloned my Itunes Media\Music file and traversed the clone, all music files manually non-breeders (all I want is artist Name\ [tune list]...) I don't want to see songs of the artist sorted into subfolders based on the album of the artist names, and I am certainly not zillions of subfolders "Unknown Album" being intended to receive the different air in cases where iTunes is unable to identify the name of the album because at some point in the past, I've copied CD tracks on my PC as .aiffs and then imported into iTunes to mp3 stripping inadvertently names album from metadata of files.)

  Once the clone folder was all cleaned up, I opened iTunes and it deleted my entire library of music.

  I closed iTunes, DISCONNECTED MY COMPUTER FROM the INTERNET and then restarted iTunes. In PREFERENCES, I made sure the checkbox 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' has been DISABLED so that iTunes can no longer "place files in folders of album and artist and name the files based on the number of the disc, track number and the title of the song.

  Finally, I imported my cleaned files of music together collection, in the clone folder in iTunes.

  Once this is done, I closed iTunes and then manually open my folder of C:\Users\[me]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music to observe and enjoy the fact that he was, hopefully finally organized my way.

  To my surprise, when any iTunes my library cleaned, he completely ignored my preference setting to NOT "maintain organized the iTunes Media folder. He was once more reorganised in the same maze of unwanted files/subfolders!

  It seems that this particular box really doesn't do anything.  iTunes still examines the metadata of files available (since there is no way, it can access the Internet with disabled connections) and continues to insist on all reorganize in subfolders based on file metadata, EVEN IF you set preferences to prevent it explicitly to do this.

  What Miss me?

  You would need to get the result you wanted to copy the folder "stored until" in the iTunes Media folder and added that copy in the library, or have disabled alternately to copy files to the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media then added support to its original path. When iTunes makes the imported copy, CD rips, format convert, downloads from the iTunes Store, etc. or you add using automatically add to iTunes folder it will always use its nesting default < artist > \Music\ < Media folder > \ < Album > for music. Personally, I think that you are taking the wrong approach. I always fill all the missing details and have my library organized in this sense much like iTunes does, although I don't like the way it truncates names to 40 characters and I keep certain genres like classical music, humor and music stored in their own subfolders. If you really want to impose your own structure take a look at my CustomRenamerscript.

• Why my iPhone cannot connect to iTunes store?

  My iPhone is iPhone with iOS 9.1 5s

  I wanted to install some apps but when I had to open a session, it says "cannot connect to iTunes store.

  I don't know what is happening, I checked my AppStore macbook and it is easily connected (my MacBook is MacBook Air with OS X 10.10.5)

  PS: I use the same ID apple MacBook and iPhone

  This problem has past since yesterday and still up to this time. Help, please. Thank you!

  Hi amandajrs,

  It seems that your computer is able to access the iTunes Store, but your phone has trouble doing the same thing. I suggest you look at the section of iOS of the following article on this kind of problem. It may seem like a lot, but it should help you get this resolved:

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201400

  On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:

  1. Make sure that your date, time, and time zone are correct. Tap Settings > general > Date & time. Time zone can list another city in your time zone.
  2. Make sure your iOS software is up-to-date. Tap Settings > General > software update to check for updates. You can also connect your iOS device to iTunes and click on search the update on the summary page of your device.
  3. Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi - Fi router or base station. If you use the cell service, make sure the cell data are lit settings > cellular. If you are connected to cellular data, large items can not download. You may need to connect to the Wi - Fi to download applications, videos and podcasts.
  4. Make sure you have an active Internet connection. Check your device Manual for Internet connectivity.
  5. Check if other devices, such as laptops, are able to connect to the network of Wi - Fi and Internet access.
  6. Reset the wireless router by turning and then again.

  If there is still a problem, learn what to do if your device connects to a Wi-Fi network.

• Impossible to link existing audio in imovie to new itunes media folder project

  I have an older imovie project that uses audio that has been in the itunes music folder.  I have since it consolidated in itunes media.  So, the song is more in the music folder. IMovie will link like this in the file folder rather than the media of music and he is no longer in the music.  How can I either return to the song the folder music force imovie to look for the link in the itunes media folder.  I edited the audio and would rather delete and re-import. I use imovie 10.

  Hello

  I don't know exactly what you did here, but it would seem to me you can option-do drag the song edited since the multimedia file back in the music folder (copy, no travel).

• ITunes media folder location has changed, but it keeps resetting to the default location

  Hello

  I changed my iTunes media folder location. My internal drive has two drives (was originally a Fusion player, after a system crash, I had to clean it and install Mac OS from scratch and is no longer read as a reader of fusion, but I agree with it), so one of the discs that I use for the OS itself and the other to store the data. I've changed most of my files application for the storage disk storage. When I change the location of folder of media to iTunes, after reboot, it restores the original file to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media.

  Why does that happen?

  If this info can help, I do not have the bluetooth icon in the menu bar, so I removed it by opening bluetooth preferences and unchecked 'see the bluetooth in the menu bar. He disappears. When I restart, it seems once again, it is not happened to Yosemite.

  Thanks in advance.

  iTunes will revert to the default locations, if the configured drive is not present when iTunes opens. This happens if the drive is not mounted or asleep...

• Put iTunes Media folder back in its original location?

  I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to a 2 TB SSD is more partition my main drive.  I used to keep iTunes Media folder on a separate data partition.  Now, I would like to return the iTunes Media folder to its original location / considered.

  Is there a particular process I should follow?  Any tips?  What should I watch out for, so I don't lose anything?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  First of all, you can make a copy of the media on a separate volume of additional backup, if you can.

  You don't say where the media folder is now, but if it's on the old disk, just copy or move the folder iTunes media to users / your name/music/iTunes. Open iTunes preferences / advanced, and then set the location of the iTunes media folder by change to hit and then navigate to the iTunes folder and select the folder that you moved.
