• Deletion of albums of my iTunes library also removes the songs from these albums of my playlists

  Hello! I wonder if there is a way to delete albums of my iTunes library without removing songs from these albums of my playlists.

  I take my playlists seriously enough (because I know others do too) and would not that they be tampered with. The songs I have in them that I'm here for a reason and a lot of these songs are single whole albums I've saved in my iTunes library. I just recently the desire to clean my library because he got rather crowded with reckless decisions, but I can't do it until I have a solution. I'm glad that I remembered that this might affect my playlists before any serious damage was done.

  I still have to find a question like this or a setting that would allow me to do. Please help me if you have an idea of how to go on this subject! Thank you very much in advance

  No, you cannot delete an album on iTunes and at the same time not delete tracks. You could potentially change the details of the track so that less albums appear in the library, but I'm reluctant to even suggest that he. Data are always more easily thrown only recovered later.

• iCloud library on Match (vs Apple Music)

  Is there a reason to maintain a subscription Match after Apple signed music to iTunes? the main reason that I had another match was to maintain access continuous songs "incomparable" (especially my own demos and stuff notcommercially available) that Match uploaded to the cloud. It seems that Apple music is that too by iCloud library. Am I missing something?

• IOS iTunes Remote App will support Apple music?

  In recent years we have used a Mac as a media server running iTunes controlled by the iOS app with multiple speakers airplay throughout the condo. Often, sometimes with less satisfactory results, including frequent falling output and often pregnant airplay of iHome requiring a reset.

  When the Apple music came out we have signed with enthusiasm, because, you know, everything Apple 'just works' together. Only, the remote iTunes iOS app indeed does not yet support Apple's music. Yes I know I can 'add music' my library, but all the music discovery needs to be done on iOS or OS X. But hey, looks like the remote app has least support for the Radio Apple... uh, oops, not with this latest version.

  Now it feels like the final straw... Sonos integrated music Apple support now before remote App. Apple own, Question is, is anyone know if Apple intends to add support for Apple's music for the iOS client application?

  I guess I do not understand your question completely. The remote supports all the features as Apple TV iTunes playlist. Make sure you have 'Home Sharing' enabled in iTunes preferences and on the remote app.

  What about adding music or playlists and others, use you iTunes and the music for this. ITunes of photo and music as a CD drive giant and the Remote App as your remote control. Once you have loaded your music on your "giant CD player' using the remote for playback, Start, Stop, search, Play artist, play by playlist, etc.

• changed location and went my whole iTunes library

  I have so far kept two accounts of mac. One in the United Kingdom and Australia.

  The Australian account (iTunes) was the oldest account and it contained almost all my music and movies.

  Recently, I had problems with a lost credit card and funky became account (not in a sense of the music - like the bad funky).

  Support Mac helped me sort out the account number, but I had to change my address details and account billing in the United Kingdom.

  I just tried to log in to my Australian iTunes and found that all my music is gone!

  What should do?

  Realize that what you were doing could be in violation of the intended use of Apple for the iTunes Store, which is actually a single bank by user.  An iTunes Store in a country is intended for use only by residents of this country and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country, you must use a credit card (or other type of card so acceptable in a country) published in this country, charged to an address in this country and also be physically present in this country when you use the store.

  For example, "the iTunes Service is available only in the United States, its territories and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Service from iTunes outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your respect. "- http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  Entering a map of the United Kingdom for the Australian store should not be possible, and this statement is inconsistent.  I don't know why the music should have disappeared from the Australian account. If it was a question to be taken trying to access the British then I expect that you will receive a connection error message. If they had wiped the account because of the violation, then you should not be able to connect.

  What you need to do, is use your backup of the files that you hold because re - download is a convenience but not a substitute for maintaining and independent. Apple recommends... "back up your iTunes library." (https://support.apple.com/HT201272). http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html - "some eligible content iTunes that you already have will be may not be available for a later download at a time, and Apple will have no liability to you in this case.» As you may not be able to subsequently download some eligible content previously acquired iTunes, once you download a piece of eligible content to iTunes, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy or damage it, and you may want to back up. »

  If you want you can try to contact the support again about this but I don't know the exact details of your situation and if you are riding along Apple restrictions on the use of accounts in other countries, you are in a risky situation.  Do not go on Apple about this though, since these restrictions have to do with the media the regional restrictions of license holders.  How it is supposed to work, it is if you Live in Australia you can buy from their store. If you move to the United Kingdom you switch your account (not create another) to the UK store with the help of a map of the United Kingdom.  You can take any item bought in Australia with you on your computer, but you will not be able to access it again to re - download.

• ICloud for Apple music activation will damage my iTunes library?

  I agree with Apple's music and I understand that if I want to add pieces of Apple's music in my iTunes library I must activate iCloud. I have so far resisted doing this since all reports of permanent damage to your library master iTunes at the time where Apple music was introduced. It means your iTunes library will be scanned and anything in the catalog of music Apple is copied in your iCloud, but at a lower speed to ICloud. Music you have (I have 1700 titles of a CD, I added that I bought) is not in the catalog will be copied in iCloud, but at a lower rate. But I was warned of the following problems. Does anyone know if all those who have been set? Of course, I keep a backup of everything on my Mac, but I'm afraid of damaging my iTunes library. I've read about problems are:

  1. DRM is added to the music you own and copied to your iTunes library.
  2. Music you have will be converted at any bit rate and a different format (I use MP3) and copied in your library.
  3. Many only find albums that they have got iTunes tracks scrambled, metadata for artist names and track names got scrambled, and playlists got out of order.
  4. Album cover and the track got corrupted and replaced with incorrect art.

  I know things are not supposed to be true based on the Apple FAQ, but they occurred when music Apple and iOS 9 first came out. These questions definitely resolved?

  1. no DRM will not be added to your own music and copied into your iTunes Library UNLESS you decide to delete your original files and then re - upload to your computer's iTunes library. Or if you have set up a second computer share the same Apple ID and download the tracks to this second computer.

  2 not - yet as answer #1 - if you delete your original files and then re-download. You will receive versions Apple music that - according to what bitrate you torn initially to-may or may not be a lower data rate.

  3. Yes, it happens. But most often it happens when you try to listen to music on other computers or devices. There was reports of these types of problems in their library (the one people used as source to configure BCTI) original iTunes and that's why it makes sense to have a backup of your original files. But, that being said, I've been using AM / BCTI since it began and I saw only occasional and minor problems with my metadata on my original library. However, I've seen a lot of questions on the iPhone and iPad that share my ID Apple and iCloud music library - mainly the wrong version of a song being substituted for the one I have in my library (the original) iMac iTunes.

  4 Yes - See answer #3.

  Yet once again, most of these problems happen either (1) on the secondary devices you use with your music library to iCloud or (2) when people decided - usually to save hard drive space - to remove their original files and then replace with others of their MEMBER.

• import iTunes library

  I installed clean El Capitan Yosemite previous deletion which I backup on external drive.

  I had hundreds of free songs which I had imported into iTunes, how to restore these El Capitan iTunes songs?

  Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

  When it's to a new computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look for what it y.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

  Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

• Downloaded songs Apple music works do not on iTunes?

  Hello

  I have a MacBook Pro of the retina under OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4.

  I had a problem with my laptop and I had to restore and re install El Capitan.

  When I tried to restore my backup, all my songs bought came normally, but do not open the ones I downloaded from Apple's music on iTunes.

  As you can see, the file of apple's music is in iTunes, BUT the songs don't open in iTunes.

  I tried to re download it from Apple's music, but it does not work.

  What should I do?

  

  http://dougscripts.com/iTunes/2015/09/new-flush-Apple-music-cache-files/

  "There may be some residual files left in the folder ~ / Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/, which is a bit like a"iTunes Media"folder for the Apple's music." It stores the specially protected audio files that are downloaded when you listen to a track of Apple's music on your Mac, ostensibly for iTunes does not have to re - download if they are played again. They cannot be played to the user and are useful only for Apple music. (This cache folder does not apply to music from the Radio. Or Apple music you've added to your library for offline use, which is stored in your folder of official media "ITunes")."

• Help!  Large iTunes library split into two locations, how to fix?

  Long ago, I told iTunes to store its iTunes Media on a NAS file and I copied the iTunes folder all my D: to the NAS unit.  I also said iTunes to keep organized records and copy files of music added to the NAS.

  I just found out by examining the XML file that iTunes thinks about half of my music files (~ 7,000 of them) are located on the D: drive and other ~ 7 000 are there where I want it all, on the NAS.  Number of files on the NAS which I however contained artist/album music files are empty; the files appear to have been erased and are still on the D: drive where the XML points to them.  Management of iTunes files (XML. ITL, etc..) iTunes is now current are also on the D: drive... those on the NAS are not kept up to date.

  I thought my massive library - countless hours to rip my CD - safe on the multi-plate RAID NAS.  Goes, if I lose my D: drive (which I was backup is no longer) I lose half of my library and all of my iTunes administrative folders.  Ouch!

  How can I get safely iTunes exclusively use the SIN for all the data files and of the administration?

  If I re - copy data from D: to the NAS and edit the XML file to point to the NAS for all files, iTunes will not even watch D: for the management of the library?  How can I do forget d everything?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  By modifying the file XML will not help at all - iTunes only writes to this file, the bed ever.  Assuming that all of your media plays correctly then you should be able to consolidate your library (file > library > organize library > consolidate files).  This will copy all the multimedia files that are not in the iTunes media folder location specified in Edit > Preferences > advanced to this location.  Note, however, that many reports suggest that iTunes + SIN is not an ideal combination; You can be better to use a standard external drive for your library and use the NAS device for backups.  You can also watch the advice to user turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more details on the optimization of available to your library.

• ITunes library and duplicate the items and folders of Windows Explrr

  I have a 2 or 3 General questions on iTunes.  I download all my iTunes on a PC and play really.  That is why the questions about iTunes folders in Windows Explorer.

  1 how to produce duplicates in the library?  I have loads.  I saw the advice to remove them.  This helps a little but it's still a task to be piecemeal.    How to stop what is happening in the first place?

  2 in addition to the duplicates.  Last night I went in Windows Explorer on the PC that I use to download and play iTunes and entered the iTunes Media/Music folder.   I walked carefully each folder album deleting duplicate here.   However, on opening iTunes itself today, duplicates all seem to be still there in the library list.   Why it did not work?  ITunes is not loading the content of this folder?  If this is not the case, why I was informed to support?

  3 What does the symbol of iCloud next to some of the tunes?  If I run the cursor over them, it says 'download '.   But surely I downloaded it when I bought and added to my library?    Why should I download it again?  That this symbol that the melody in question can not play if the PC is offline?

  4 one of the songs in my library list appeared today in my Windows Explorer iTunes Media/Music folder.   I can I have accidentally deleted while I was removing the duplicates it and have now downloaded it in the album in this folder.    Probably so, iTunes library does not constantly in the folder of music on a Windows PC?    He only takes over here if the backup is necessary?

  If so OK but other files appear in the library that do not exist and he asks me if I want to find the file?

  I guess that my confusion stems from the assumption that the iTunes Media/Music in Windows Explorer folder should indicate precisely what will appear in the library in the app.

  Vondegru,

  With regard to questions 2 and 4: iTunes does not automatically "load" all the files in the folders.  You can do an analysis of initial unique optional optional when you install iTunes, which will add all are compatible files in the iTunes library.  After that, files not added unless you take action to add.

• Previous iTunes library. ITL?

  Can I remove previous libraries and temporary files iTunes without harming the current "iTunes Library.itl" or "iTunes Library.xml?"

  Current system:

  MacBook Pro i7 15 "retina (end 2013)

  16 GB OF RAM

  iTunes version 12.4.1.6

  Size of folder Support 1.46 TB on a NAS Drobo5N

  The database has become erratic, duplication of entire directories and lose the default folders.

  I was able to fix much of this behavior of coping files on iTunes, using iTunes to delete the file, and then re adding them.

  Are these previous iTunes libraries and the temporary files needed? Is it possible to use the iTunes interface to remove them, or can I just do it in the finder without evil?

  Thank you for any help...

  1. No, unless your current iTunes made reference to something in them.

  2. move to a different folder in the Finder and check the current library before deleting.
