delete multiple songs in itunes

Hello

I am wanting to remove thousands of songs in my itunes at once. When I select them and press DELETE, I get the following message:

but when I select about 70 songs, following the same procedure, I get:

so nobody knows the answer, or how I can delete until I get the message at the top of the page.

Thanks in advance.

You get the first box if all the selected items are purchases made on iTunes Store, otherwise, you get the other.

  • Delete the song from iTunes and record simultaneously?

    Hi all

    I have a question. 2 years ago I think I duplicated my entire library by accident. I spent a whole while removing the hard disk songs that were double, but it is still like 4400 songs left.
    Is there a way to delete a song on iTunes and at the same time from the hard drive also?

    If so, I'd REALLY know haha.

    Thank you in advance,

    Gino

    If the track that is being removed is located in the iTunes Media folder, then iTunes should offer to recycle. If the files are outside the folder of media then iTunes just removes the reference. See KillSelectedFiles for a script that can delete the underlying files regardless of the situation, but it might be better to use DeDuper to clean duplicates in case you managed to create multiple links to the same file. In both cases, the files must be attached to the library before they can be cleaned.

  • Lack of purchased songs from iTunes library

    Like a lot of other people a lot of my already purchased songs are missing in my library. My computer was stolen early 2015 and everything I bought before this date has disappeared.  I followed all of the suggestions to restore but without success. The songs were purchased between 2011 and 2014. They have a circle/question mark next to them. I went to my account and I don't have an option to Hide/Unhide.

    I can see the purchase history so I know that I paid for them. I searched my computer for m4a files - missing purchased songs aren't anywhere to be found. I deleted the songs on iTunes that bring the matter / the circle next to them and restarted.

    I tried following the instructions to redownload files, but all the songs that I paid to have an 'x' next to them and no download cloud icon which means I can't download them again.

    I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and spin the latest version of iTunes.

    Is anyone able to suggest a solution? Thank you

  • If I delete a song in the list of duplicates itunes, it has an effect on the existing playlist?

    If I delete a song in the list of duplicates itunes, it has an effect on the existing playlist?

    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 > view > 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 toback 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.

    With this many files, it might pay to break down the problem into smaller pieces.

  • Deletion of songs: iTunes and Google Drive a technical Question

    I just moved my iTunes library on my Google Reader account so I can sync between my Mac and my PC. Everything is fine, but I just deleted some songs while on my PC. Now, I find these pieces and they still appear on my Mac, but of course when I try to read, it is said that they do not find. Is there anyway I can avoid showing them up on top of the unit in question at all after having deleted the songs? because the songs of the deletion of the library on the other device will get quite painful. What is a possible problem with a .itdb or incongruous .xml file? I don't know exactly how it works.

    Thank you

    It only will do this automatically if you use a single copy of the iTunes Library.itl file.  Only one copy of iTunes can have that open at a time.  Basically, iTunes uses this file to tell him what needs to be in your collection of real media files.  If you have separate library files then it obviously not synced and remove one will delete the file and the reference in this library, but not to delete the reference to the file in the other.  I've never used Google Reader so I don't know how 'real' a player is and if iTunes could run using the library of files on it. I feel maybe little too erratic and slow, a connection for a satisfactory performance and I'm hanging off the coast of another decade or two before confidence cloud services.

  • Edition of the details on songs in iTunes does not appear on the Windows song

    Here, I'm just change in some missing details on songs I have on iTunes, as fill for composers, missing the album artists, genre, etc... However, when I close iTunes and look at the details of the song in my folder on Windows 10, details I have briefed on iTunes isn't there, so it is always white.

    When I opened iTunes again, details, which I have added to these songs are still showed it. I tried to delete the songs in the iTunes list and still adding them and I always see these details, but I still don't see anything on the file when he looks in the Windows folder.

    I opened the song on Windows Media Player and Microsoft Groove, and the details are not there. How can I fix? I want to add these songs on my Android phone as well, but it includes also the fixed details, I put in the songs on iTunes.

    Several tags (Mp3 files only)

    The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod and iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > None a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. For Windows users running a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag should handle this.

  • How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    I recently had to format my hard drive and reinstall iTunes 12.3.2.35 on my Win7 PC. As part of the re - install iTunes, I clicked on the button scan for music.  This has created duplicates several of my songs.  I deleted then the duplicate songs from iTunes, but when I went to play a few songs a pop-up said "the song would not be because the original could not be found.  You want to locate? "When I tried to locate the song it is not found, but when I pulled the songs out of the trash they could be found.

    How can I keep the original and remove any duplicate songs in iTunes on PC Win7 which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    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.

  • I lost the music: when I delete a song in a playlist it is also deleted in my library

    I use regular playlists, not the smart playlist. I followed the instructions on the site Apple help to iTunes, where it is written "deletion of an item in a playlist is not delete it from your iTunes library or your computer." I'm in the playlist, find the song I don't want to get there, click on the... where I can add it to other reading lists or delete. Choose Delete. Now, I realized right after editing a bunch of playlists and songs of them, deleting it also deleted from my iTunes library. I had to re-import (those I remembered the deletion) to have the songs in my library and other playlists.

    How can I delete a song in a playlist and keep it in the library?

    I have 12.3.3.17 which I believe is the latest version of iTunes.

    Open the playlist.  Select the piece to remove. Press Delete on your keyboard.

  • Download iOS 10 update once for installation on multiple devices via iTunes?

    I think remember me that it was possible and it was the best way. When I Googled it I am surprised to find there is no recent information on this (last year, although there are responses from 2012). I think this means 'no', but have not found the answer either.

    Then, download iOS updated once for installation on multiple devices via iTunes? As many people have multiple iOS devices that's probably a good idea.

    Almost certainly not.

    Each version of the product Apple has its own download.

  • iTunes game not download songs from iTunes to the cloud

    I've ripped from CD music and imported into iTunes (12.4.3.1) on my PC for Windows 10

    Most of the songs were transferred to the cloud without problem, but an Album with two discs seems to be stuck downloading the second disc. One went through OK. There is also another song taken from a compilation disc, which seems stuck as well. The songs in question always have a small cloud dotted beside them.

    Ripping the album two disc I was presented with a choice of Albums to correspond with the second disc and may have selected the wrong year. Strange that it happened not by tearing the first disc.

    The only song took his info edited so that it is listed in his artist as it was the only song torn from this CD. This has not caused problems before.

    I tried to click on the Library button musical iCloud, which showed the same spinning wheel and the drop down menu text "Corresponding to your music with songs in iTunes Store" to stop the process. then under file > library > update iCloud, music library, but he sticks with the wheel turning again.

    How can I solve this problem and get all the songs to download correctly?

    Hello

    I suggest that you try to remove the tracks and ripping them again.

    If a problem yet, try to connect to your account iTunes, close iTunes. Then reopen iTunes, sign into iTunes and check the preferences for iCloud music is checked.

  • Bought a song from iTunes a week there with the visa card and it is still pending

    A song in iTunes bought a week with my Visa card and it is still waiting on my Australian Visa account, I called my Bank today there is nothing bad to that end, I'm still waiting for some types of permission by e-mail, you're wondering what I did wrong, hoping someone can help me please.

    As well as receive a receipt by email from iTunes (which is that what you mean by "some type of permission email"?), it should show on the purchase of your account history: see your purchase history in iTunes on Mac or PC - Apple Support store

    Or if iTunes was not able to collect the money from your card successfully it should show as the reason: pay a balance on the iTunes Store - Apple Support - there show nothing? If not, this implies that it is crossed successfully, but purchases by credit card can sometimes take a long time

  • How to delete multiple contacts (preferably all)?

    I know how to remove this single contact, but it is very boring and annoying to delete several contacts one by one.

    Repost since the last one has been archived.

    http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/970906

    Hi svnpenn,

    The feature remove multiple contacts is implemented in version 2.0, which is either Complete Code on September 1, according to the wiki Versions and planning.

    The only other way that I know, delete, multiple contacts in resetting the device to factory settings. However, it is possible that a contributor or a third party developer has created an application for the market to remove multiple contacts.

    I'm sorry I'm not able to solve your problem immediately, but I hope you find this information useful.
