iTunes library didn't give all of my music library

• How to remove all the songs in a playlist of my itunes library?

  My request here is, is it possible that I can select all the pieces that I have selected in iTunes and delete all of these songs in my iTunes library. To clarify I'm asking not how to remove and individual songs or how to remove a playlist, I want the songs within a time to be gone, or deselected somehow.

  Basically, I recently bought a new laptop and I've been moving all of my music from the old laptop to the new aid, sticks of memory of 8 GB that I don't have an external hardrive and would rather not pay for someone else to come and move the contents of my hard drive from one to the other. On my previous laptop, I had a playlist containing all the songs I want on my phone for synchronization purposes, as I had too much music to store it all. For reasons to keep this playlist and without having to build all over again I first transferred the music in the playlist of phone. The problem is I now want to transfer the songs that aren't in that playlist aswell, but I can't find anyway to select only the titles so that I can drag them into my memory stick. I can't delete the songs in the playlist one by one as there are almost 6000 titles in there then, obviously, that would be very time consuming.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can give

  I would recommend before you do anything destructive with your library you backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library. It is also the tool I would recommend that you use to transfer the library to a computer, first back up and restore then (in a folder empty) to the other machine. Doing it this way means that you get the sides play heads of prosecution, playlists, date added, and that you don't have to erase and reload your content. It also ensures that you have a backup! Hard drives external are quite cheap and you should not skimp. That said, if the two computers are on the same network, you can use SyncToy to copy the iTunes folder from one to the other, if you open the folder music sharing on a computer, so it can be seen from the other.

  As for the original question, Ctrl + A to select everything in a playlist. SHIFT-DELETE to remove it from the library. But I really wouldn't like that.

• AppleTV doesn't show iTunes library all

  Hello

  This morning while using my Apple TV to see a movie, I realized that Apple TV has fallen by half the content of my library.

  Today is Wednesday, and all content was available on the weekend.

  IE - I have not access to movies on my Apple TV, which are part of my iTunes library.

  I don't quite know what to do.

  I restarted Apple tv.

  I disconnected my apple and re connected again.

  I checked if there are updates waiting for Apple TV or iTunes.

  I left the game at home sharing and off iTunes and rebooted.

  any ideas?

  Thank you very much

  Please ignore this.  I can't work on the removal of this question.

  I had a PET of brain.

  The apple tv showed only movies 'unattended '.  duh!

• Had to install my itunes library/all media files to a new disk - now itunes can't find anything!

  Hello, people.

  I have an itunes library old and beloved of some 38 000 songs and 1 100 podcasts, as well as dozens and dozens of playlists (I buy a lot of music and RIP, so every month for the past eight years, I made a playlist folder containing the songs I ripped this month). My media is not organised by itunes - everything is in its own folder.

  However, I have fried my CPU and motherboard, and the guy at the shop convinced me to switch to an SSD HD to run windows. That's nice, but there is not enough room for the itunes library. It is still on my old HD 2 TB - that used to be C:, but now it's f:

  I was able to get the library loaded to the top, but he has no idea where all the songs are. They used to all be in a file tree that went C:\users\Querenciazine\music\[subfolder], as follows:

  c:/users/Querenciazine/music/MP3s/classical/BWV%20651-668%20-%20leipziger%20chor %C3%A4le/bwv%20659%20-%2002-bach&busoni%20_%20nun%20komm,%20der%20heiden%20h eiland.mp3

  But now they are all in a tree that starts f:/music/MP3s.

  Location of the file above, therefore:

  f:/music/MP3s/classical/BWV%20651-668%20-%20leipziger%20chor%C3%A4le/BWV%20659%2 0-%2002-bach&busoni%20_%20nun%20komm,%20der%20heiden%20heiland.mp3

  I tried to open the two XML files in Notepad and use find and replace to change "c:/users/Querenciazine / ' to ' f: / ' in filepaths all, but that has not worked. I did it once before, but years ago and I wonder: what am I doing wrong, or that I am I forgetting?

  Anyone has any advice how to solve a problem like this?

  Thank you very much!

• Lost all the files of muisc - Itunes library intact but lost hard drive with music files

  Hello

  I'm on windows 10 and the latest version of Itunes. I had a separate hard drive with all my music, which represents 95% of the CD, even some captured directly from vinyl. (iknow all conferences on the backup to the top and sent hard drives for repair, but not luck)

  So my Itunes library is intact, as it was stored on the drive to the OS, but every track has an exclamation point. I tried to use Itunes game and music in an attempt to restore my library, but I suspect I'm going to build it from scratch again, re - burn all my CDs

  Any ideas?

  See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device. If you subscribe to iTunes Match your should be able to create a new library and download content to it. The old one will assume that the tracks are present, even if they cannot be found. You must avoid doing anything which could remove the reference to the track in iTunes game, that's why I suggest to do a new library.

• ITunes library don't sync all the library on my iPod Classic 5th

  Hi all. My iTunes library is not synchronized all the library on my iPod Classic 5th. The library contains 8136 songs, iPod displays only 8120 songs after synchronization.

  I hope you can help me.

  Thank you.

  Some items in your library iTunes music are not in fact the songs.  For example, some albums that buy you on the iTunes Store come with a "booklet".   This isn't a song, so it does not sync to the iPod.  In addition, your library iTunes music can have music videos.  Depending on your synchronization settings (and your iPod model), music videos may not sync.  So, if you use the number of 'elements' displayed at the bottom of the iTunes window to compare, is not necessarily equal to the number of songs on the iPod.

  Songs must be stored locally on your disk to synchronize with your iPod.  It is possible for songs purchased from the iTunes Store will appear in your library iTunes music from Apple servers ("iCloud"), even if you do not subscribe to Match iTunes or Apple's music.  To check, show your iTunes music library using the view of songs , the show as a list of simple songs with columns.  Bring up the column to iCloud download , if currently hidden.  This column is narrow with a cloud symbol as his Cape.  (Right-click on the header row in the list of songs to show/hide columns.)  Songs that are not stored locally have a symbol of the cloud with the down arrow in the column download iCloud .  These songs are visible of the iCloudand does not sync to the iPod (except if downloaded).

  If you subscribe to Apple music, download music from Apple (in your iTunes library) are written (not possessed) songs.  Downloads of music Apple cannot be used with iPod (except iPod touch).

  Also, look on the recapitulation of the iPod settings screen in iTunes to see if the sync only checked songs [and videos] option is checked.  If this is the case, the songs that are disabled in your music library iTunes do not sync.

• Why have I lost all CD imported from my iTunes library

  I lost all my imported CDs and all the selections of my iTunes library painstakingly compiled over the years of effort. More than 110 GB of music disappeared from one day to the next day when I upgraded the software at the end of 2015. How can I get these without restarting the whole process again? The only thing left in my library is the purchased Playlist. Can someone help, please? Thank you.

  On some occasions, your iTunes library database may be affected by an iTunes update - nobody seems to know exactly why, although its been suggested that it would be the result of a conflict between the installation of iTunes and some anti-virus software program or other processes that monitor changes to files on your computer (for example the Windows Indexing service').  The content of your library, i.e. the media files and folders should be affected, but without a database iTunes file doesn't have information or links to these files.

  To restore your library to a working state (which may not be necessarily as it was immediately before installing the update) see user turingtest2 on the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.  For later use, you must create and maintain a backup of your library iTunes, and always update your backup before installing the iTunes update.  For a suitable and recommended method, see backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library .

• If I can ask my iTunes Library to remove all music NOT purchased through iTunes?

  Hello

  I have a lot of music in my library that I listen to is no longer too. Wort that has not been purchased through iTunes.

  I want to know if there is a way of querying my iTunes library and the extraction of all the music that was NOT bought and delete?

  I noticed that when you look at the information in the files, if the property was purchased, and then it has a field 'Date purchased' and ' purchased by. So these could be used to identify the music purchased/non-bought.

  Or is there another way?

  Thank you

  MG

  I choose all the songs and delete the batch... (you can always drag the strange folder separated on the desktop if you want to keep an album you have imported etc..) You can add it back later.

  

  

  

  Then, go to Playlists - making sure that you are connected to your iTunes account - and select those purchased you want to return by clicking on them...

  Want to buy the new ipod nano, how can I connect this to my old itunes library without losing all my songs

  Back up your library, update if necessary iTunes and sync the iPod. This will not normally remove anything from the iTunes library, but other things can.

• Why don't the addition of metadata to be added manually in the iTunes library song change metadata in Windows Explorer and anywhere else?

  Adding metadata to a song in the iTunes library has no effect anywhere else (as in Windows Explorer or the Groove music).

  I would like to know if I have disabled this in error or if it is not guaranteed to all visitors.

  Where it is not provided to customers, I would like to know how iTunes stores this metadata and whether it can be automatically sent to the library of Windows.

  Thank you.

  A reason of changes committed to iTunes cannot be is covered in the tip of the user, fix the iTunes for Windows security permissions but iTunes usually returns to the original data if you probably don't see this particular problem. The other possibility is of several tags.

  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.

  Note that some data, for example the sides and the counties of game, is only stored in the database internal iTunes and not surrounded by tags.

• gone forever iTunes library?

  I recently reset my Windows laptop because it becomes slow. I lost all my files in the process, and unfortunately, I do not think for the backup of my iTunes library. I think I have in the past, but when I opened my iTunes and connected it shows nothing. I tried to check my cloud, that may be in my music, and that did nothing. I tried and tried the suggestions I found online. He said as I didn't buy music to download when I bought, of course, music. Went all my iTunes music? Help, please

  If make sure that you are connected with the Apple, ID you used to buy music, click here, and then follow the instructions. If you cannot retrieve a piece in this way, it must be reloaded from the original source.

• iTunes Library fully suppressed

  The other day, I was listening to music on my iTunes. I put my computer on mode 'sleep' to get something to eat and when I came back and opened my iTunes, all my music and playlists have completely disappeared. When I started to look for them, I noticed that my iTunes was updated to 12.4.1.6 (mainly because there aren't stars, but hearts for 'Favorite Songs'), but I didn't know he was going to update and is not I approved the upgrade. I tried to copy and paste the file previous libraries with no luck.  What can I do to get it all back?

  See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. You always have media files? You locate the active record of previous iTunes libraries to copy, paste, and rename to? You have the content on a device or other backup?

• move the itunes library on a disk on pc Windows 10

  I use ITunes on my Windows 10 photo.  I installed the latest update of ITunes.

  I would say then ITunes the new location for the music to ITunes and other files.

  It would give me the auto backup my library cloud existing ITunes as well as everything I add to it.

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  In theory, it should be possible to do it, assuming you have enough storage in OneDrive to host your music library.

  Before you try this, make sure that your library is portable and sustained upward.

  Make a portable split library

  This done, close iTunes and copy the iTunes folder in its entirety to the folder of a drive.

  Once the copy is complete, open iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key on your keyboard. This will allow you to select a library to load when loading iTunes.

  Point iTunes to the location of the folder to a drive where you copied the library and wait for it to load.

  Note: unless you have moved manually the folder from one drive to C:\ sound usually found in your user folder, not directly on the root of the C:\ drive.
