• After restoring my computer and iTunes download, iTunes can not find my my music files.  They have to be in the specific format or a folder iTunes for a recognized?

  I had to restore my computer from the ground upward.  I save my music files and then reloaded after the system restore.  Then, I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  But apparently iTunes can't find my music restored files.  I use a 10 newly installed Windows.  Y at - it a particular format to place the music files should be put in order for iTunes to see.  Or maybe a procedure that I did not follow properly.  Please notify.  Thank you.

  If you have registered to the iTunes library database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key is pressed and choose this library. If this isn't the case, slide the song files into the application window open iTunes or add it automatically in the iTunes folder.

• I consolidated my files and now iTunes can't find almost 200 songs in my library

  For a long time I have been adding new songs, I have download in a folder and then add the songs in the library iTunes via file-> add a file to the library and pointing to each new song. Last week, in order to make a backup of all my songs, in accordance with the recommendation of Apple, I gathered all my files in this folder (where there were songs in other folders I don't remember). However, even if the option "keep iTunes media folder organized (up files in folders of album and artist)" was NOT checked, it is exactly what makes iTunes: it began to place my files lost in the artist/album folders it consolidated.

  I cancelled the process when I realized what iTunes did, which would result in all hope, but that has not happened. Now, 250 on 2660 songs, I had have NOT been organized to artist/album folders (probably because I cancelled the process before they could be organized) are always in the song 'root' folder: http://prntscr.com/bvrvqt

  About 180 of those who have a "!" icon in my library stating iTunes cannot find the specified file: http://prntscr.com/bvrpl0

  When I double-click on one of them, iTunes asks me to manually point to the file, and when I do, it asks me to find the rest of the "!" from the songs I did. The problem is, although all the others '! ' songs are also in the folder 'root', iTunes simply cannot find an any of them on its own! Frustrating. If I add the missing files via file-> add files to the library, iTunes will create an entry duplicated them on the list, as if they were different files.

  No idea how I can return this mess and make iTunes to find the missing pieces? The only thing I can think to use SharePod program to save all the songs from my iPod to a new folder and Redo from scratch iTunes library from there, but then I would lose how my songs are displayed in the library (most recently added first), as all files would be added now at roughly the same time. I rather would not lose it.

  I use iTunes 12.3.1.

  Thank you very much!

  I suspect that iTunes has updated some of its references to point to the new locations that it would have copied files if you had not interrupted the process. See Re: files change media for advice on fixing systematically broken links. See make a split cell library for more information on the ideal organization to an iTunes library. Consolidation of copies any file outside the currently designated in the media folder and update iTunes so that it uses the new copy thereafter. Consolidated files are copied into the presentation standard of the artist and album folders that are also used for what it is torn, converted or downloaded with iTunes.

• How to import media files to iTunes and be able to delete files from my computer?

  I have iTunes for Windows, and I downloaded the music downloaded on iTunes and remove them from my files. I got an error saying ".." could not be used because the original file not found... '. How can I download on iTunes without having to keep in my files?

  iTunes keeps a local library on your computer. To avoid this problem in the future, set the iTunes preferences to "copy files to iTunes Media... folder. "and let iTunes"Keep iTunes media folder organized. »

  With these settings, you can safely remove the 'original' files after import you them into iTunes.

• What happens to my music files and libraries as soon as apple Unassigns itunes?

  What happens to my music files and libraries as soon as apple Unassigns itunes?

  What makes you think that apple will stop downgrade iTunes? They make him billions.

  Even if they did whatever it is already downloaded would continue to work and all etc CDs you imported will also continue to work.

  The most likely scenario is that you have an older version of Windows (or Mac OS X), that cannot run the latest version of iTunes. If this is used, you'd still be able to run the old version already installed iTunes and still access your existing files. This applies to Windows XP for example.

• WD my cloud and iTunes do not find files

  I bought a WD mycloud 4TB NAS to unload my iTunes files and photos from my Mac.  I don't want it as a back up that I have a time machine that is dedicated for backups. I want to delete the files from my hard drive on my mac and iTunes from the form of NAS files.

  I spent countless hours to search through messages and to try everything without success. I copied my music/iTunes folder on my NAS and it created a folder called iTunes. All files and folder structure seems good. I start iTunes with the option key is finished and select choose library. I then navigate to my new iTunes on the NAS folder. It "looks like" my songs and movies are all there after iTunes lance, however in the upper left corner, I noticed a symbol of home with a

  up and down arrow. When I choose that I have two options, 1 with check mark beside my computer and below not controlled is account. If I select account, it shows me that a blank iTunes with 'WDMMycloud' has no music? (or all that content so that ever).

  I put the iTunes from the copy folder in the folder under my name of user NAS.  My only options are:

  my user name

  PUblic

  SMartWare

  TImeMachineBackup

  can I somehow do it copied on the conduit of the root and not in a folder?  Any help would be appreciated.

  I don't have a WD NAS, but other messages that I get the WD has print server software to serve as a library as a shared item. Maybe that's what you see?  I have heard others mention small houses or anything like that when they ask about it to a normal hard disk.

  To move a library you copy just the Media folder, you copy the folder iTunes integer.

  With the help of NAS is a popular idea for iTunes libraries. The problem is iTunes and NAS don't get along together, and maybe it's your first visit here.

• Way cleaner and more organized to import several files into iTunes 12.3.2.35

  import music iTunes libraries 12.3.2.35

  I finally found all the music files scattered all over my other computer 3 and put in 2 GIANT files on my desk on my iMac 27 "running iTunes 12.3.2.35 and OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.2

  There are different file types (CD, iTunes purchases, Amazon, ringtones etc etc) and I want to make sure that I don't make the same mistake of duplication of files and having things disappear into unknown places and not be able to listen through iTunes.

  What is the cleanest possible to import all these files (9 500) so that everything has a name (not the 1 3 song disc).  Many of these files have album connected to them somehow artwork, don't know how.  I know in the past years, I found a ton of album artwork and saved in my computer manually.

  So many hours spent on my library, I want to be amazing!

  It seems that these songs are NOT currently in your iTunes library?  This does mean that your library iTunes music starts empty (no), or has she written a few songs?

  If the iTunes music library is a beginner vacuum...  First go to the Advanced iTunes preferences pane.  The default location for the iTunes Media folder is in your iTunes folder.  It should say something like

  /Users/ [your account name] / music/iTunes/iTunes Media

  You can go using Finder to see how it is implemented (and keep this open Finder window).  That's where iTunes organizes your music files in subfolders, by media type (music of the songs)-> the name of the artist-> album-> the song file name.  In this same preferences window, there are TWO check boxes to keep iTunes Media folder organized AND copy files to the Media folder when adding to the iTunes library.  These boxes must be checked If not check.

  Then show your music library in the iTunes window.  I like to use the sight of songs (using control near the top right of the iTunes window to change the view), for a list of simple songs with columns.  If these ' 2 GIANT on my desktop ' files Folders with your songs, drag their office to the iTunes window and drop it on the music library.  iTunes imports all compatible audio files, and they should start to appear in your music library as they are imported.  Alternatively, you can view the folders and files of songs appear in the Finder window showing the iTunes Media folder (look in the subfolder of the music ).

  While everything has a name (not the 1 3 song disc).

  It depends on the 'metadata' in the song files.  If present, iTunes uses.  If some of the songs, artists or albums are not named as desired, you can update these entries in iTunes.  iTunes 'guard organized the iTunes media folder' from the changes that you make in iTunes-info of the song.

  Many of these files have album connected to them somehow artwork

  The work is embodied in some song files (not all).  If present, iTunes uses.

  NOTE: iTunes "copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library", so these folders on your desktop with all your songs are duplicates after that iTunes makes a copy of itself in the folder iTunes Media as part of the import process.

• Sansa clip plus and itunes - how to transfer files

  I'm really ignorant, but I would be very grateful for the help.   I did research on this topic here but do not understand the answers...

  Basically, I use itunes on Windows XP.  I just boughts liked a Sansa clip.

  I don't know even what kind of files I have in itunes - they are mostly ripped a CD. I guess they were mp3s but looking at recent postings here it looks like they may be something else (ACC file extensions?).   Anyway, I was fiddling around in itunes but have not been able to verify what are the types of files ('cos I'm ignoring it!)

  Earlier today I just copied some of the songs in itunes, go to Windows Explorer and paste in the section music to the Sansa Clip file.   They played very well...

  Then I went and deleted these files on the Sansa Clip Plus, because they were just an experiment.

  Then I went back to itunes and copied the files over.   This time, when I went to paste the files in Sansa Clip Plus in Windows Explorer, I found the option to paste is grayed out.

  I'm stuck and would be incredibly grateful for the help.   As you can from it of the mess that the above, any guidance I get has to be pretty basic.

  the easiest way is just to look at the files in windows Explorer. go to documents, then music. the music folder to itunes folder. That's where itunes stores all the files. you need to configure the computer to display file extensions for known file types. Find your MP3 files and copy them from windows Explorer, then glue them to the clamp.

• Type of file in iTunes

  How can I show or enable the type of file in iTunes? It displays only the album, the song title and track number but not the file type.

  Albert,

  In iTunes, file type is in the column "type".  Go to view > show view Options.  Make sure that the display is set to the songs, and then you can check the box for the genre.
