How iTunes will include marketing / given blank media library?

Scenario: an accident is stupid enough, I formatted the disk external USB I said iTunes to store all its media (using iTunes preferences). Since I got the vast majority of the data from the formatted disk (Stellar Phoenix to the rescue). It includes: music I ripped from CDs, movies I ripped the DVD, "digital copies" when it was a thing, as well as everything I bought on iTunes. It is NOT in the original folder structure and file names are still the same. It is also worth noting that I have iTunes game.

Question: iTunes is going to do when I start it? It has been closed since the show. I intend that it points to an array of newly purchased raid an external USB 3 and my hope is that iTunes will:

  • Let me download all my music.
  • Let me download all my purchased movies (and books, apps, etc.).
  • Alow me to identify the location of the missing files, including the DVD rippe.

.. and all this together on the new external drive.

Is anyone able to confirm the desired behavior, or lack thereof? And someone has any advice... ?

For the curious, iTunes behaves as desired. With the intact library (on my local hard drive), it simply could not find the corresponding files - but it did not cause of aberrant behavior.

I am able to download "all" my music (although it comes out of the music was not in iTunes game - particularly my old DRM'ed iTunes purchases), all my movies purchased and all my TV shows purchased. iTunes prompts me to "locate" the files that were missing for individual items, so it'll be a job from me to re - associate my DVD rippe and 'digital copies. I can also re - associate some of my old music of DRM'ed, but it's a little, so that could get ugly.

  • How iTunes respect my custom artist/Album homework?

    Hello!  I am trying to transfer my iTunes music library (more 11 000 songs) from the hard drive of my old laptop (a Windows machine) to my MacBook Air (MacOS 10.10.5, iTunes 12.3.2) by copying the iTunes Media folder: Music on the old hard drive to the iTunes Media: automatically add to iTunes on my Mac folder.  In the process, I expected to "re-brand" many files to do things like making the composer the artist under which classical compositions are deposited, for example, Bach all in an artist called Bach folder (instead of have it all scattered on in different folders corresponding to the performers) and have all the tracks on the CD to several albums in a single title of the album folder (and not in separate folders for) each drive), etc.  I did already a lot of this work by hand and worked to do things in the Album artist file: unknown unknown, when I accidentally opened iTunes and it began to the add to iTunes process (which I now want to 'Cancel', if possible).  It was my pants up, but then I noticed that all the work I did for the files to "reposition" in the records of the artist and the Album of my choice is not met: in the iTunes Media folder: Music, records that I had deleted have been recreated and files I had put elsewhere were released in the old folder structure , which obviously I don't like, or I wouldn't go to so much trouble to change it.  So is there a way to achieve my goal, i.e., customize the artist and Album of the folder names and content, preferably before all be imported into iTunes, and iTunes will respect and preserve?  Thank you!

    You shouldn't do like that.  Instead, you need to take your entire iTunes folder (and not just your iTunes Media folder) on the Windows PC and put it on the MacBook Air to replace its existing iTunes folder.  iTunes on the new MacBook will look like in iTunes on the old Windows PC, with all songs and data, such as playlists, ratings, play count, date added, etc.  The existing "metadata" will be the same as before, and you can continue to work to better organise your songs in iTunes.

    If you do as you describe, your NEW iTunes library on the MacBook will be more disorganized, and you won't have your playlists (all the songs will be new songs in a new library).  This new iTunes library won't know anything about the old iTunes library.  iTunes doesn't care of the existing folder structure when you import the songs (iTunes considers new songs) to a new iTunes library.  By using the default settings, iTunes keeps the folder iTunes Media organized, based on what you see in the list of iTunes window name song music library (more Track #), Album name and artist name.

    The procedure to transfer your complete iTunes folder is described in this document

    Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external drive - Apple Support

    To sum up, the first step "consolidates" your iTunes media files (from where they are currently stored on your drive), in the designated folder iTunes Media (in your iTunes folder).  All your media files may already be store here.  Second copies of step ("backup") this folder full iTunes (which includes your iTunes library database file very important), on an external drive.  The third step "restores" that backs up the iTunes folder, in your case, for the new MacBook.  With iTunes not running, you replace the existing folder to iTunes of the MacBook with the old Windows PC.  When you run iTunes, it uses this iTunes folder; you see the same iTunes library.

  • Qosmio G30 crashes when loading dvd blank media

    I have a fairly new Toshiba Qosmio G30 laptop. I recently discovered that the DVD-R or CD - R blank media insertion causes the system crash BSOD blue screen of death. At the moment I have not tried with other types of media. However, DVDs and pre-recorded CDs play perfectly well. After the BSOD re-boot system and sends an error report to Microsoft.

    Y at - it a good soul out there who can give me a suggestion as how to solve this problem, is this a known problem or common? I was not able to find anything on Google.

    Hello

    According to the Microsoft Online Crash Analysis, the BSOD was caused by the unknown device driver.
    But it's very strange because the device uses a common MS Windows driver for a CD/DVD drive.

    A question: have you used the OS from the Toshiba restore CD or you made some changes to the operating system?

    However, to my knowledge, not all media are compatible and taken in charge. So eventually the error message because of the use of any compatible CD or DVD.
    You will find the information on compatible media user manual.

    Update:
    -------------

    Please also check this:

    -Right-click on the DVD drive-> properties
    -Go to the menu point record
    -Enable recording for the DVD player

    Maybe it's now possible to enter a blank CD or DVD

  • This playlist cannot be downloaded because it includes other types of media or songs that are not eligible.

    iCloud music library playlists can include music from your music library to iCloud. This playlist cannot be downloaded, because it includes other types of media or songs that are not eligible.

    What does that mean? I have iTunes game and not really encountered problems previously? I don't understand why I get this message? I'm just trying to create a playlist. Other playlists seem to be OK?

    Hello

    The playlist includes either a music file not for example PDF or a music file that is not eligible. Add iCloud status column to your playlist (view of the song) and it will tell you what is unacceptable.

  • Is there a download from Microsoft which will create a bootable usb media that does not have the drivers?

    Original title: A bootable Windows 7 media

    I work on a Lenovo 2-in-1 with Windows 7 (for games) and 10 (for a normal use) Windows to dual-boot. I created a USB stick with Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) of a legitimate Windows 7 Pro disc. The computer starts on the usb device and plays normally, however, one of the steps asks a driver for cd/dvd and this 2-in-1 (Lenovo Flex 3) doesn't have a built-in CD/DVD. All other drivers are located in a folder system. My question is, given my key Windows 7 can I create a new bootable media that does not demand drivers? Is there a download from Microsoft which will create a bootable usb media that does not have the drivers? I know that I can reinstall the drivers manually after the installation.

    Thank you

  • How long will support it El Capitan?

    I absolutely don't want the features of Sierra. I especially don't want my files in the cloud - especially since I see that Apple will remove files from my computer to store there. And I do really not all Siri. Then... I don't want to upgrade and go through the hassle of my software is incompatible, etc, etc. How long will support you the OS, I already have?

    Apple isn't here.

    These forums are supported by users like you.

    We have no idea what Apple will or will not do.

    Apple offers an option to store your files on iCloud, if you do not want to do it then don't. Siri is also optional application. If you do not have to be used just set it up. You are given the option during installation. Personally, I see no reason for not upgrade you to Sierra.

  • iTunes will not respond on Macbook Pro

    My iTunes will not respond when I hit the play button. My version of iTunes is 12.4.1.6. It worked when I bought my mac, but now, he won't answer. It works on my iPhone, but not my Mac. Any suggestions?

    iTunes you know on a Mac does not run on an iPhone. It's a completely different operating system. It is also a completely different application that Apple in a fit of lack of creativity has given the same name as the thing on a computer, but it's a different function.

    You have restarted your computer?

  • ITunes will not sync my files on my phone

    I recently updated my iPhone 5S for a 6s. We have backed up all my files to the store and transferred a few months ago. No problem. I used my phone regularly since then without adding new songs, but recently I pulled a couple my computer I wanted to put it on. When I plugged my phone in I ran ios 9.3 (updated just a day or two ago) and Itunes 12.1. When I clicked on my phone and checked the amount of memory that I had left, it showed that I was using 10,96 GB 'data '. The category that I thought once was left for iOS and the rack system. But for some reason thought iTunes all my data was 'other '. So I updated iTunes to 12.4, backed up my phone and restored. Well now iTunes can't find my iCloud backups or my computer, and I cannot sync ANY music on my phone. I tried to update the driver, by checking the "manually sync music" and choosing then what I want, but nothing works. ITunes will show that it is the synchronization for a split second and then stop. I also ran the itunes sync test and got this:

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s does not read blank media - need new firmware

    Hey I have a laptop Equium only around the age of 4 months.
    Had nothing but problems with the CARPET * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA Device drive.
    I need to know where I can get the update of the firmware.

    Firmware for it, that she will not read blank media.

    I agree with master... I don't know what kind of problems you have, but if the player doesn't work properly, it must be replaced. The warranty is certainly valid and the nearest authorized can help you with it.

    Maybe you made a mistake. Take your laptop to the nearest service and show them what you mean exactly. Here, we can only speculate what may be your problem.

  • photos synced from itunes will be deleted

    This has probably been discussed ad nauseum, but here again once.

    I'm trying to consolidate all of my wifes photos and download them on icloud with icloud photo library

    his pictures are on

    1 Windows PC running Windows 10

    2 iPhone 5

    3. goofy old iPad 2

    2 and 3. software update are wise.

    I previously did essentially the same thing on my iphone/Macbook with no problems, but this time we want to just spend all her photos to icloud and just would have future pictures synced to the iphone and ipad.

    Of course, when I activate icloud photo library on the ipad, we get that notorious "Photos synced from itunes will be deleted. any idea of how best to proceed with this? Of course, I like to keep the photos that it says will be removed, but im scratching my head as to what measures come ensuites. I do not want to use Windows as an intermediate storage area, (although I will if I have to) but I am a bit confused about the sequence of steps to allow the pictures marked for death to be saved, then re-uploaded.

    I know that this issue has been hashed several times before, but I have problems to synthesize all the proposed solutions, I found there and decide on one to use.

    Thank you people!

    If you have photos that have been synced from iTunes, then not have you pictures on the computer running iTunes for them to be synchronized in the first place.
