Exasperating, helps iTunes

I'm having an absolute nightmare with iTunes and to be perfectly honest, I'm feeling hours to throw my iPhone in the tray (or eBay) and never again touch iTunes. It seems that, unless you want to manage your music exactly how apple wants you to do, then you are out of luck. What I have to do is apparently quite simple but seems impossible to achieve.

What I want is this:

1 iTunes folder containing the library files and a folder with all of my music on the inside. This folder is synchronized between my PC and laptop using sync bit torrent. Such as the two libraries are always the same, and I can sync my phone to make it one, wireless.

I want my laptop and PC iTunes libraries to be exactly the same and maintain local copies. With the help of music iCloud should intervene only if I add a playlist of music from apple or the song to my library that I did not.

My iPhone as it has 64 GB of storage should work in the same way, with files stored locally on the device and then added songs and playlists I don't own apple's music.

My iPad has limited space, so it must use only my music library iCloud with lists of read-only that I manually download being stored locally.

I currently have the following problems:

Frequently, my laptop seems to return to using only iCloud music and none of the local files. When I try and add my files the library it creates duplicate files

If I put these files in the folder "automatically add to iTunes" and then copies iCloud get replaced with local lines, however he then proceeds to "organize" my media in folders that I absolutely do not want to and have all the options for this unchecked.

If I restore my music folder to the way I want it organized, I go into iTunes and, naturally, there is not an exclamation next to each song. I can locate a song, it will play then fine, he will ask then if I want to use this location of songs to find other songs in my library, I press Yes and it can find no other song despite them being all in a single folder, stuck!

Despite none of this work correctly if I add a song to my iTunes library, it absolutely syncs with any device. If I try to sync manually it tells me iCloud music is enabled and no opportunity to do so. Also infuriating because it gives me no option to add local files on my device, the only option seems to be to delete my iPhone any library, disable the music to iCloud and then Resync, whenever I want to add a track.

IMHO, if you don't want questions and problems, you have the right to use the software the way it was designed to be used. You made up your own system, then you are surprised that it does not work like that. It is not reasonable.

  • HELP ~ itunes 12.3.3 compatible with XP?

    get notification of my security update software to the latest version of itunes. (yet my itunes tells me I have the current version)

    im running 12.1.3 - the latest edition of "known" compatible with win xp

    I have an iphone 4S running current ios 9.3.1

    Info for itunes 12.3.3 page said in effect update for XP, but the info sys req/software gives no indication.

    http://www.Apple.com/iTunes/download/

    Anyone have xp and know if I should update?

    2 sidenotes:

    ~ I updated itunes the last time (as prescribed by my itunes) and had to call apple as the update was not compatible with xp or my phone. and my phone would no longer synchronized, I had the chance to reach a tech that helped me to solve this problem quickly and had to be routed to another update.

    ~ I'd like to update my phone to the new 6 s, but if its is no longer compatible with my xp/itunes is useless I'll lose all my music capabilities of transfer etc., is there a way to get around this, or the 6s will work with my current/xp version since im running ios 9.3 on my 4S and it made? I am not financially able to update my computer and for what I use for this great short is.

    Update from Apple system is broken in that it offers 12.3.3 as valid version on Windows XP.  Supported on Windows XP (or Vista) has been removed when Apple iTunes 12.2 released last year.  The latest (and certainly last) version in support of XP is 12.1.3.6 - this is an out-of-sequence of September 2015 version that adds support for iOS devices 9, but has no music to Apple and other features added in iTunes, 12.2 and 12.3.  Links for the installer:

    This, however, will not be a solution in the long term as its very little unlikely that Apple will release more updates to support the new features of iOS on old Microsoft OSs.  Any PC running under that Windows XP is likely to be exceeded its operational life and (even reversing the vulnerabilities to viruses and other malware) is going to be prone to failures of major equipment - hard drives and power supplies in particular.

  • For the sake of my sanity, please help

    Hi all, I desperately need your help, iTunes keeps pushing me closer to the edge!

    I store all my music on an external drive due to restrictions of space on my drive C. I also had iTunes on my external hard drive and everything worked fine.

    For some reason, the last updated itself installed on my C drive with a subsequent loss of most of my music (10 k titles) other than downloads.

    When I try to listen to a song, I get the usual message telling me that the file is not found and I want to locate. I click on 'locate' and go to my external drive, open my file music, open the album and click on the track. Next, I get the usual message asking me if I want to locate the rest of music lack of my library.

    After clicking 'find files' it within five seconds and he tells me it cannot locate all 9 960 other missing files. How I am torn between cry or do something violent to my pc.

    I'm sure that the solution is probably pretty simple, but I'm scared, I'm out of ideas.

    If you can give me any help, I would appreciate more, more. Thank you xxx

    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 parents, or the reader, records it feeds has been a change in the letter of the drive or you have moved a non-portable library to a different path (see make a split cell library for more details). 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. Look under the file 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, or during playback of a track, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. Then, it can offer try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find titles in the same provision, artist / album, they were previously, with a systematic change to the path.

    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files, or the library was moved from OS X to Windows, then chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies it will be difficult to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is pregnant. 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

    Thanks in advance!

    Greetings, bird Moon-arts.

    It seems that iTunes for Windows is not recognizing your iPhone 6s and ensuring that the proper drivers are installed has not helped. iTunes is an integral part of keeping your iPhone and your PC sync, and I'll be happy to help you!

    Remove and reinstall iTunes and the components of the software for Windows 7 and later versions -given that you used "If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone, iPad or iPod", the next thing to do is to remove iTunes from your PC and reinstall again. Don't forget to uninstall the iTunes components ' in the order listed. Once you have reinstalled iTunes again, don't forget to restart your PC as well.

    Take care and thank you for using communities of support from Apple!

  • Backup is always restore | ICloud had full

    Hi team,

    I had taken my full backup of the Iphone on (04/05/2016) in icloud drive and I restored it successfully my new phone with this backup. As my disk got full space so I want to delete this backup so that I would take a new.

    But the problem is I never am not able to delete this backup and throw me the error "cannot delete backup because it is used to restore another device" as I've already shared, restored my phone successfully.

    Could you please help me do this deleted backup / remove the drive while I would be able to take a new on the cloud.

    Hello to Massy,

    I understand that you have run out of storage iCloud and to delete the backup you have of your old iPhone.  I guess that you restored data on your new iPhone, you use the same Apple ID, is that correct?  The first thing I would say is to back up your iPhone to your computer using iTunes.  Then see if you can remove the backup to iCloud.  The resources below shows how to do it from your computer if you can't do it from your iPhone.

  • Fading in and out

    I created another project which has melted to on the first slide and fade on the last slide on.

    During the realization of this project that I turned off each transition that I could find, image imported for highlight boxes that I used and I can not find where stops this Fade in and out.

    It is not bad that it fades but then whenever you select an item that takes back you to the first slide, he disappears again.

    If you select the last slide (Advanced) and do nothing, it fades to black and you will need to use the back button of the browser to get the control again.

    How can disable this final transition?

    Hello

    Think you're using CP4? Two ways to disable the fade at the beginning/end:

    • Open the editing preferences
    • in the project section, go to the tab "beginning and end".
    • you will find how to disable 'Bland in first slide' and 'Fade on the last slide.

    Faster:

    • Show the toolbar advanced (window, toolbars); I still have it on - in the edit mode
    • the third icon (like filmslide) immediately gets you to the tab "begins and ends.

  • Make a ringtone on new iTunes - Help!

    I'm doing a song I recently bought into a ringtone for my iPhone 6 s, and each unique tutorial directs turn you into an AAC file, but with the new iTunes, when you right click on the song there no option to turn it into an AAC file. In fact, when I checked the file type of the song, its listed as a "purchased AAC audio file", then, what do you do for a song is already an AAC? Also, I chose a section of the song, which is less than thirty seconds, he saved and still even if he doesn't play that this article, still lists the song duration as full 6 min, not the new article 28 sec, so I even when I duplicate and turn it into a .m4r and do all the other steps , it will not transfer because it is too long.

    It's really frustrating! Help!

    I do not use the new iTunes so I can't test anything.  You've always been able to convert AAC AAC; for example, when wanting a lower bitrate copy.
