• Put iTunes on Macbook Pro external drive

  I have a new Macbook Pro running OS X El Capitan. With my older iMac, I wanted to save space so I consolidated my iTunes library and put all my music on my external hard drive and then deleted all my music off my old iMac. I did the same thing with my photos. With the new Macbook, I ran some more of my music on the external hard drive, but now I want to recover my external hard drive so you can use it for Time Machine and put all my music on the Macbook, since it has a bigger HD and I'm more worried about space. I also noticed on the Macbook, in the iTunes folder, there are now "iTunes Media" and that "automatically add to iTunes". I understand that Apple has changed the iTunes Music iTunes Media folder but I am unsure of the other folder. On my external hard drive, I have a 'Music' folder and inside that I have: of Garage Band, iTunes album art file folder, album art iTunes, Bigasoft Flac Converter folder. In the iTunes folder: folder of iTunes Library.itl Album artwork file, iTunes Music Library.xml file Genius.itdb from the iTunes library, previous record of libraries iTunes, Mobile Applications folder, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, Temp File.tmp file, iTunes Library.xml and iTunes folder Music, which has all my music files. I didn't know if I should just replace the music folder on my Macbook with the music folder from my drive external hard because some of the files as "iTunes Media" and "Automatically add to iTunes" would probably disappear. I hope I'm not too hike and it makes sense. I tried to consolidate my music but I don't know if that did anything. Thanks for any help.

• I want to pause gap between playing consecutive songs in iTunes. How?

  An instant reading of the next song is very overwhelming to my ears and mind. I want a break or a gap between two songs as in the old readers of cassettes. How do I get there? any plug-in for itunes? or maybe another player altogether, with the support of remote read iOS.

  any advice?

  It is actually not a setting to do this, but you could always put a song 'empty' (a track with no sound) where you want a gap, even though it may take some time depending on the amount of songs you have in your reading list.

  You could always crossfade your songs on iTunes (in the Apple menu bar) > Preferences > playback and check "Crossfade Songs.

  Then drag the slider to the way well before the end of the song, you want iTunes to crossfade them, and then click OK

  I hope this has helped

• iTunes will not regroup under the name of artist albums

  I noticed at the bar on the left with the artists, sometimes there are twice, the same artist, with each having only some of the albums and I can't group all albums under the name of an artist to the bar.for some artists can't do, but I did it because some others.anyone know what to do?

  If you see unexpected songs groups when you browse an album - https://support.apple.com/HT204538 - 'songs from the same album may not be grouped as expected when you view them in display Albums in iTunes."

  For most people this solution seems to be one that works: August 2008 post by turingtest2 temporarily change labels - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7904806#7904806 or http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/merge.asp - add a letter at the end of the name of the artist, close the read information, then open it again and remove the letter. This works often but I had cases where securities combined when a letter has been added but divorced when he was kidnapped again.

  The following sections provide additional solutions:

  Often a solution: select all the tracks on the album, file > info (or right-click > news > Details) and give them all a single "album artist", or check the indicator of "compilation" (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).

  If they are several CD sets, you will also need to enter the appropriate information in the fields of number of disk.  If they are not a set of multiple CDs that you must always make sure any vacuum or disc number fields are properly defined.

  If they are mp3 files are trying to change the version of the ID3 tag, which can cause iTunes to re - write the tags and clarify inconsistencies.  I use iTunes 7.5 (Yes, from 2007) so I can't tell you where it is in later versions.

  I had a case of grouping stubborn reality.  The tracks will be re-group in a way that has no meaning when I changed metadata.  Without going into details, I deleted tracks iTunes completely, then add the files and they are all grouped together correctly.

• iPod not recognized by iTunes?

  I have iTunes installed on a computer running Windows 10. iTunes is updated to the latest version since this morning.

  My iPod is a 7th generation Nano

  Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Update to iTunes (the problem began before the update and persisted thereafter)
  • Reset the iPod (by pressing the menu and sleep buttons, or whatever they are called, until the screen goes black and then displays the apple logo)
  • Reinstall iTunes
  • Removal/installation/update driver iPod (my iPod appears under portable devices and tells the pilot because it is the latest version, attempts to manually install the driver in the iTunes folder indicates which is the driver already installed). I tried this before and after reinstalling iTunes.

  However, I don't have an Apple Mobile Device driver. I couldn't find two solutions to do this, which has been updated the driver on the iPod, which did nothing. Another option involved to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. Who also did nothing.

  I also read that reformat the iPod through disk management has worked as well, but my iPod does not appear as a disk. In fact, it is not at all. iTunes opens when it is connected and says it cannot recognize it, but it does not appear under devices and readers.

  On a strange note, I have an unknown USB device under USB controllers in device management. Out of curiosity, I unplugged my iPod, uninstalled and plugged my iPod back, time in which the unknown device is returned. So I guess it's my iPod (in the unrecognized State). You know not so relevant.

  I am at one loss as to what else to do. The iPod still works, I can still listen to all music that has been synchronized to him before, but that's all.

  This just started today. Every other time I connected the iPod, it was immediately recognized by iTunes and worked well. Seems that the problem is the absence of the Apple Mobile Device driver, if I was not able to fix this.

  I have not tried to plug the iPod on another computer yet. The only other computer I have is an old laptop that takes forever to initialize. I will try that, after work and see if my iPod works on that one.

  If you have already tried to reinstall iTunes and manually delete specific things like the drivers, you can completely remove iTunes and related software components

  Don't forget to uninstall the components all the listed in the described order.  Then, download and install the latest version of iTunes from here

• iTunes 12.5.1.21

  Like many, I've experienced problems with devices not connection to iTunes 12.5.1.21.

  I use a Dell with Windows 10, including updates on both.

  It is really a problem that must have already been addressed by Apple.  Following the advice of aid in iTunes and on the Apple discussion Forum and managed to get my iPhone 6s to be recognized by iTunes.  After trying to get an of my being recognized by iTunes from the iPod, the iPhone will not be more connect anywhere.  None of my iPod is recognized.   It's very frustrating.

  I tried to go back and install an earlier version of iTunes, but it would not recognize the library created by the most recent version.  I uninstalled the previous version and not reinstalled the current threshold of one - no connectivity.

  On all of these work, I discovered that Device Manager displays the iPhone or iPod, but with the Device Manager still open, if you start iTunes, the devices disappear from Device Manager - as iTunes withdrew on Device Manager.

  I have an iPod diagnostic file but it seems that there is not much information about this problem.

  I hope only that some of you/us will provide some ideas on how to correct the problem.  It is the first time that I've known of Apple being so pathetic to send updates.

  If anyone has any other suggestions...

  Try the iOS device is not showing in iTunes for Windows.

• The Lord of the rings extended editions in iTunes Store

  Do not know where to write this request...

  I'm a fan of long standing of the Lord of the rings and the Hobbit.

  As a fan, I want as much I can, and I have the extended version of the Hobbit.

  But for some reason I can't find the long version of the Lord of the rings, and they give more sense when you read the books.

  Is this really a wish or someone know how to get in iTunes DK/EU?

  I have them on DVD but I have in my store on my ATV.

  You can try to contact the Danish rights to the film holder and ask them to put them in the Danish store. You can also try to asking them through iTunes, but without the agreement of the holder of the rights, Apple will not be able to sell it: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

• iTunes and Blackberry link conflicts

  Hi, link to Blackberry stopped working after the last update of iTunes in Windows 10.

  I made Blackberry suggest workaround solution, as follows:

  "Rename the file of l iTunesPrefs.xmand restart the BlackBerry link application.

  Please note: Completing the steps below may have harmful effects on the functionality of iTunes. For more information, contact Apple support.

  To rename the iTunesPrefs.xml;

  1. Turn on the Show hidden folders and files
  2. Go to \AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\ < username > C:\Users\
  3. The XML in the file iTunesPrefs and rename it to iTunesPrefs.old

  Once finished, he recommends to disable display the hidden files and folders. »

  
  

  My question is, how will this affect iTunes functionality, or not at all?

  
  

  
  

  Rename iTunesPrefs.xml will reset various settings in iTunes. If your library is < user music > \iTunes default path and you have the options to keep... and copy... enabled, you may not notice a change, but the parameters that will have been reset include the active library, media folder file, sharing of XML, the import settings, etc. Check through each tab in Edit > Preferences to see if there's anything to change the way that you had it before.

• iPhone restore backup encryption bug in iTunes

  First the details of my system:

  El Capitan 10.11.6

  iPhone iOS 6 10.0.2

  iTunes 12.5.1.21

  Steps to reproduce:

  1 backup the by using the encrypted password (current running iOS 10) iPhone

  2. once the backup is complete change password encrypted from A to B

  3. restore the iPhone using the backup.

  The backup cannot be restored with A password or password B.

  I think that most people would say I forgot the password B. You would be a mistake. Password B was stored in my keychain and it wouldn't work. To check that I had the correct password, I downloaded a password free utility cracking. For some reason, these utilities are available for Windows only. I used the utility of tenorshare. Since I was sure I knew the password, I used boxes of prefix and suffix of the utility to verify that the password is correct. The utility shows you only the first 2 characters of your password once he finds her. Since I am sure that I knew the password, I put the first 7 characters of the password in the prefix box password and he assumes that the last of them (which I knew that). Then I put the first 6 characters of the password in the prefix area of password and the last character in the zone suffix and guess the second to the last character (which I knew that too). In both cases, he finds the password, which confirmed that all my characters were correct, but iTunes would not accept. At this point, I was convinced this is an Apple bug, so I googled some more and found this blog https://deciphertools.com/blog/ios-10-backup-password-incorrect/ which confirms:

  "If you recently changed your password backup in iTunes, and iTunes is now reports that 'the password was incorrect' when you try to restore this backup, then we may be able to help."

  There is a small problem affecting backups iOS 10 - sometimes changing password causes backup the password being rejected (both new and old passwords) when you try to use the backup that you did. »

  I was able to solve my problem of password associated with the procedure.

  My backup was too important to wait for a solution possible iTunes. Apple should recognize this problem and have a fix as soon as POSSIBLE.
