• Separate places for iTunes media library and database

  I am currently using iTunes with my iTunes together on a NAS library and adding pieces can take forever. I want to do the following:

  1. keep my music in a folder on the NAS

  2. continue to use iTunes to manage and organize songs with the structure of the artist/Album/song, I added new things

  3. move the iTunes itl and xml files to the local hard drive

  4. without having to rebuild the database, if possible. I have a massive collection and the database on NAS won 48 hours.

  Can someone help me get there where it won't take me another 48 hours to rebuild?

  Not 100% sure it will work properly...  I know that you are your whole iTunes on the NAS.

  On the internal drive of your Mac, in the folder of music the user account, create a new empty folder called iTunes there.  This is the default location for the folder iTunes (with library databases and media folder).  If there is an existing folder (currently unused) iTunes , delete or move to another location if you want to keep it.

  Quit iTunes if it is running.  On the NAS, open the iTunes folder it (using the Finder) and copy all except for the iTunes Media to the (empty) folder folder iTunes disk internal.  Hold down the Option key and start iTunes. Choose the iTunes Library.itl file in the folder iTunes of the internal drive.

  In the pane iTunes Advanced preferences, is the location of the folder iTunes Media on the folder iTunes Media on the NAS, or (by default) location in the folder iTunes on the internal drive?  If he has given to the default location on the internal disk, click change , and then select your iTunes Media on the NAS folder.  The TWO boxes there to keep iTunes Media folder organized AND copy files to the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media should be checked, if they aren't already.

  Now, the real test is to see if your songs are related to files of song on the NAS, or if iTunes has lost track where the song files.  Try to play a song.  If she plays (you don't see a symbol of an exclamation mark next to songs in iTunes), then iTunes is access to the file of the song of the SIN.  If iTunes cannot locate the file of the song more and invite you to search for, locate the file of the song on the NAS for iTunes.  Using this information, iTunes can extrapolate where its music files and find them.

  If what I described is not working properly, you can run Option in iTunes using your iTunes library on the NAS and try another method.

• Strobe Media Playback and dynamic streaming

  I read that the strobe media, reader Dynamic Streaming media, unfortunately I could not find hot to enable and configure this feature. Can someone help me with this?

  Assuming you have already configured your streaming server, you can create a manifest file (.f4m) in which you provide information on individual watercourses. You can use the following example:

       Dynamic Streaming     253     video/mp4     rtmp://cp67126.edgefcs.net/ondemand                         
  

  You can load this file by setting the parameter 'src' on its URL.

• Y at - it a bug with the checkbox 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' preference?

  My iTunes for Windows version 12.3.3.17 music library has always organized automatically by itunes with all the files placed in the album and records of the artist, with the song title names preceded the disc number, track number, etc..

  I don't like it. This creates a maze of unwanted, unnecessary nested folders such as [name of artist]------\(tune list) [Album 1 name], [artist name]------[Album 2 name] \(tune list), etc.  or, in many cases, [artist name] \Unknown Album\(tune list).

  I have cloned my Itunes Media\Music file and traversed the clone, all music files manually non-breeders (all I want is artist Name\ [tune list]...) I don't want to see songs of the artist sorted into subfolders based on the album of the artist names, and I am certainly not zillions of subfolders "Unknown Album" being intended to receive the different air in cases where iTunes is unable to identify the name of the album because at some point in the past, I've copied CD tracks on my PC as .aiffs and then imported into iTunes to mp3 stripping inadvertently names album from metadata of files.)

  Once the clone folder was all cleaned up, I opened iTunes and it deleted my entire library of music.

  I closed iTunes, DISCONNECTED MY COMPUTER FROM the INTERNET and then restarted iTunes. In PREFERENCES, I made sure the checkbox 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' has been DISABLED so that iTunes can no longer "place files in folders of album and artist and name the files based on the number of the disc, track number and the title of the song.

  Finally, I imported my cleaned files of music together collection, in the clone folder in iTunes.

  Once this is done, I closed iTunes and then manually open my folder of C:\Users\[me]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music to observe and enjoy the fact that he was, hopefully finally organized my way.

  To my surprise, when any iTunes my library cleaned, he completely ignored my preference setting to NOT "maintain organized the iTunes Media folder. He was once more reorganised in the same maze of unwanted files/subfolders!

  It seems that this particular box really doesn't do anything.  iTunes still examines the metadata of files available (since there is no way, it can access the Internet with disabled connections) and continues to insist on all reorganize in subfolders based on file metadata, EVEN IF you set preferences to prevent it explicitly to do this.

  What Miss me?

  You would need to get the result you wanted to copy the folder "stored until" in the iTunes Media folder and added that copy in the library, or have disabled alternately to copy files to the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media then added support to its original path. When iTunes makes the imported copy, CD rips, format convert, downloads from the iTunes Store, etc. or you add using automatically add to iTunes folder it will always use its nesting default < artist > \Music\ < Media folder > \ < Album > for music. Personally, I think that you are taking the wrong approach. I always fill all the missing details and have my library organized in this sense much like iTunes does, although I don't like the way it truncates names to 40 characters and I keep certain genres like classical music, humor and music stored in their own subfolders. If you really want to impose your own structure take a look at my CustomRenamerscript.

• Cannot connect to iTunes Media folder on another volume during synchronization.

  Whenever I try to manually sync my iPhone (iPhone 5, 32 GB, iOS 9.2.1) via USB with my MacPro5, 1 (OS X 10.10.5, iTunes current 12.x, 48GB of RAM) I get an error message (-54) that iTunes can't connect to the volume that contains the iTunes library.

  The Tunes library is located on a RAID volume, separated from the volume 'system '.  The path of the volume is specified (and has been re-specified) on the tab 'Advanced' in the iTunes preferences.  The path to the iTunes folder is Master/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/iTunes.  (There is an additional media 'MP3' folder in the folder "iTunes Media" he thus.)

  Note, it ia a comment harsh in the Advanced tab, that it is best to place the follder iTunes in /Music on the users on the system drive folder / startup.  It is not desirable in view of the size of the music library.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance.

  There are several things that you need to understand your current situation.  The iTunes library file is a database that keeps track of you iTunes media.  It sets your iTunes library.  It is usually called iTunes Library.itl.  The iTunes folder (in your folder music startup disk user account) is the default location for the iTunes Library.itl file.

  Then, there is your iTunes Media folder.  By default, this folder contains all the files media real iTunes, classified by iTunes in subfolders by media type, artist, and album.  The default location for the iTunes Media folder is also in your iTunes folder (in your folder music startup disk user account).

  A common option to move your iTunes out of the startup disk data is to put your iTunes Media on an external drive (or network storage) folder while keeping the file iTunes Library.itl on your startup disk to the default location.  To do this without iTunes lose track of your media files (where they are), set a folder iTunes Media vacuum to the location target.  Change the location of the designated iTunes Media folder in the Advanced iTunes preferences pane to point to the new iTunes Media folder.  Then tell him "consolidate library" so iTunes copy your multimedia files and organize them in the new location of the iTunes Media folder.  This command is to organize bar menu-> file-> library-> library-> Consolidate files (checkbox).

  NOTE: The iTunes Advanced preferences pane, the TWO check boxes to keep iTunes Media folder organized AND copy files to iTunes Media when adding to the library folder to check (unless you have a specific reason not to).

  ANOTHER common option is to copy your folder full of iTunes (with the iTunes Media folder and iTunes Library.itl file) for the external storage, disk, or network manually (using the Finder).  Then, use the option to open a different iTunes library

  Open a different iTunes library file or create a new - Apple Support

  to select the iTunes Library.itl file to the new location.

  The main difference is the location of the iTunes Library.itl file.  The iTunes Library.itl is frequently consulted and updated by iTunes.  If it is on the network storage (with the much slower access compared to a directly connected disc speed), it can adversely affect the performance of iTunes.  Therefore, the first option described above may be preferable, by storing media files on the network storage for the file iTunes Library.itl on the internal drive.

  In your situation, the iTunes Installer is used?

• Vista &gt; iTunes Windows 7 and migration

  Hello, first time poster.  I had an older iPad where I got my music on a laptop running Vista.  More recently, I got a new iPad 2 air.  I still had my music on the laptop for a while.  However, in the last two months, this capability was broken.  The version of iTunes on the laptop is 12.1.27.  I can use this version of iTunes to manage the music on the laptop of course, but when I plug the new iPad 2 Air it says "the iPad is unusable because it requires a newer version of iTunes.  «On itunes and download»  I'll download it and the link specifically says that I get iTunes 12.3.3 for Windows XP and Vista.  So it should be good.  However, when I install it says "iTunes requires that your computer is running Windows 7 or newer.

  I also don't seem to be able to migrate this iTunes on my Windows 7 (12.3.2.35) desktop configuration.  On the Windows 7 Desktop, I certainly can't change the song information and perform basic tasks.  Also, I can't seem to even add music to iPad 2 air, but I don't know because I can't sort the music for iPad on the iTunes for Windows 7.  The iTunes on my desktop Windows 7 also has other music files detected, it lacks most of the music on my laptop.  Of course, I don't want to spend weeks to make some kind of manual cross-checking one by one all of the databases involved and trying to get my computer to look just like the laptop.  There must be some kind of clever way to migrate here.  In particular why iTunes 12.3.3 for Windows XP and Vista would give such a message of error?  I am on iOS 9.3.1.  Thanks in advance.

  Update from Apple system is broken in that it offers 12.3.3 as valid version on Windows XP and Vista.  Support for Windows Vista (and XP) was abandoned when Apple iTunes 12.2 released last year.  The latest (and certainly last) version in support of Vista 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 installers:

  • iTunes for Windows XP SP3 and Vista 32-bit 12.1.3.6: iTunesSetup.exe
  • iTunes for Windows Vista 64-bit 12.1.3.6: iTunes6464Setup.exe
  • iTunes 12.1.3.6 for Windows Vista, 64-bit "for older video cards': iTunes64Setup.exe

  The last of them is actually (as well as all editions of '64-bit' iTunes before 12.1.2) 32-bit application with a 64-bit Installer - this should be used if you get a warning message about the incompatibility of the video card and can also send questions with bad audio playback, integration with 3rd party software and the overall stability of iTunes.  However, f you only need to migrate the library from Vista to Windows 7, you do not need to update the software on the laptop.

  To transfer your library of the Vista desktop from Win7 laptop, you must copy the complete library from the first to the last.  To do this with iTunes does not not on a system.  If you follow default iTunes, source on the laptop folder is C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes - according to the size, you can copy it to a network using a USB key, or a disc hard external., this folder and all its contents should be copied in C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes on the desktop (you can also access it as C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes).  If you have not added new media to the desktop, you can simply replace all content existing there.  Then launch iTunes on the desktop and you should find your entire library restored for you.  Because this method transfers the iTunes as well as your media database, it has the added benefit that your iDevices will see this as 'the same' library, so you will have no problems with the content being removed from the iDevice when you synchronize.

  Once everything is copied, and you have verified the results, and if you don't plan to use the laptop Vista with iTunes again, make sure that remove you your Apple ID on this machine.

  The following links provide more information:

  • How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support - it's the 'official' documentation of the migration process
  • Make a library of portable split - steps that may be needed to bring the library on your laptop in the layout that makes it easy to migrate (applies only if you have media files outside of the standard folders iTunes Media or other changes made to the default functions of iTunes)
  • Backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library - medium recommended for the copy of your library to/from an external drive with a tool. s more reliable that the standard copy of Windows works (particularly relevant if you have a large library).  The same method can be used to create and maintain a backup of your iTunes library - something you should do frequently.

• Impossible to link existing audio in imovie to new itunes media folder project

  I have an older imovie project that uses audio that has been in the itunes music folder.  I have since it consolidated in itunes media.  So, the song is more in the music folder. IMovie will link like this in the file folder rather than the media of music and he is no longer in the music.  How can I either return to the song the folder music force imovie to look for the link in the itunes media folder.  I edited the audio and would rather delete and re-import. I use imovie 10.

  Hello

  I don't know exactly what you did here, but it would seem to me you can option-do drag the song edited since the multimedia file back in the music folder (copy, no travel).

• ITunes media folder location has changed, but it keeps resetting to the default location

  Hello

  I changed my iTunes media folder location. My internal drive has two drives (was originally a Fusion player, after a system crash, I had to clean it and install Mac OS from scratch and is no longer read as a reader of fusion, but I agree with it), so one of the discs that I use for the OS itself and the other to store the data. I've changed most of my files application for the storage disk storage. When I change the location of folder of media to iTunes, after reboot, it restores the original file to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media.

  Why does that happen?

  If this info can help, I do not have the bluetooth icon in the menu bar, so I removed it by opening bluetooth preferences and unchecked 'see the bluetooth in the menu bar. He disappears. When I restart, it seems once again, it is not happened to Yosemite.

  Thanks in advance.

  iTunes will revert to the default locations, if the configured drive is not present when iTunes opens. This happens if the drive is not mounted or asleep...

• Disorganized iTunes Media after moving to NAS

  Hello

  I have moved my iTunes for Synology NAS library and am maintaining the logical structure of the different media files.

  On the NAS, I created volume 'Media' where I moved to the iTunes library and where I want all kinds of media to reside and to share with others (Synology, Plex) apps. This volume is now the default iTunes media folder.

  I have relinked the library in ITunes without problem and can see everything as before, but when for example I am adding new content to music to iTunes (with 'Keep media' and 'Copy media in the iTunes folder') organized checked it lands directly in the 'media' instead of ' Media /Music"." Why and how can I solve this problem?

  I want to keep the structure of file like this:

  Media (volume)

  -Music

  -Artist name

  -Album name

  -Movies

  -Name of film

  TV - series

  -Show Name

  -Books

  -Etc.

  Is this possible? Is to select a volume than the main iTunes folder of media app messes things why?

  It seems OK, I had to «Organize library...» "after moving and all the orphaned files have been moved to /Music they belong.

  I think I like iTunes a little more now

• Songs in the iTunes Media folder not in iTunes library

  The iMac all my iTunes songs were dying, so I have them saved on a hard drive external and then transferred in my Macbook. Now, all the songs are in the folder iTunes Media, but they will not appear in the library when I run iTunes. If I play one of these songs, it will add it to the library, but with several thousand songs, which will take much too long.

  So, how do iTunes to recognize songs in the Media folder?

• Keep my organized the iTunes media folder

  I was running iTunes on my iMac with the music library on a NAS.  I have a MacBook Pro which also access the library. No problem.  Then my iMac died and I made the mistake of checking "keep my iTunes media folder organized on the MacBook.  Big mistake.  iTunes proceeded to totally presented the folder.  Now, the music play iTunes (file not found).  Albums are incomplete.  When I look at the files and folders on NAS, it is total disarray, with files and folders in all directions.  An album file which had 11 titles in her previouldy now has only 2 and I have no idea where are the other 9.  Another album has a folder that it contains that bears the name of a different album with all the tracks for this album in it.  Can someone help me to solve this mess?  Most of my music is ripped from CDs I own and some is on the cloud (I bought the Apple music).  Thank you in advance.

  iTune 12.4.3.1, OS X 10.11.3.

  Best regards

  Simon

  It seems to be a classic case of iTunes for some reason, do not like to work with NAS. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes locations of files and/or names may be wasted.  We don't know why, but it is likely how the NAS interface software works and editing a Unix Mac address format used for anything that uses the SIN.  The long-term solution is to use the NAS for backup and use a standard hard drive to the library (Yes, I know, you don't want to hear it).  The short term solution is to restore your library from your backup.

• Put iTunes Media folder back in its original location?

  I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to a 2 TB SSD is more partition my main drive.  I used to keep iTunes Media folder on a separate data partition.  Now, I would like to return the iTunes Media folder to its original location / considered.

  Is there a particular process I should follow?  Any tips?  What should I watch out for, so I don't lose anything?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  First of all, you can make a copy of the media on a separate volume of additional backup, if you can.

  You don't say where the media folder is now, but if it's on the old disk, just copy or move the folder iTunes media to users / your name/music/iTunes. Open iTunes preferences / advanced, and then set the location of the iTunes media folder by change to hit and then navigate to the iTunes folder and select the folder that you moved.
