• ITunes Library copy on external hard drive

  So I just copied my iTunes library on an external hard drive and now when I try to play a song in iTunes, I get a message saying that the file is not found. I see the files on my C drive, where they were stored at the origin. What is going on?

  What exactly did you go where? See make a library of portable split. Maybe you can put the parts back together in the correct form on the external hard drive and then shift-Start iTunes to open the library there.

• How can I recover iTunes library on an external hard drive

  Stupidly I deleted my iTunes library earlier today and fight to get it back. (All purchased songs always appear but all songs imported from CDs are gone). I deleted the library and then empty the trash. I have a update on my external hard drive last night so hope I can restore my library iTunes from my external hard drive, but can't get it. Have tried, as a result of aid, online articles, but I do not get any further...

  So far, I saved my iTunes backup folder on my desktop iMac. There was a suggestion to open iTunes, while holding down the SHIFT key (keyboard of Windows) and this should allow me to create a new library or open an existing one - none of these options appeared, my result was iTunes open normally and showing all my purchased songs. The other suggestion is to open iTunes - file - Library - Library to import the backup file, but also no results.

  It seems it should be easy but... not for me to do something. Can anyone offer advice that does not suggest that I have to re - import all the music?

  Thanks in advance

  The file that you must replace is located in the following location.

  / Users/USERNAME/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

  Just replace the one on your Mac with the library you want. Don't forget, it's only music, not any what other apps, videos etc., if you want to replace it, replace the entire iTunes Media.

• How re - map my iTunes library to a different HARD drive?

  I recently installed a new hard drive (HDD) and moved my iTunes music on this disc.  Now, when I try to access the music in iTunes, I get an error message that it cannot be found and asks me if I want to locate.  I choose a song among my thousands or so look for it on the new HARD drive and iTunes find and he plays.

  How to re - map my entire library without re-mapping each of the thousand individual songs?

  Thank you

  It depends on what you actually put on the disk. A library is all files and folders in the iTunes folder. This includes an .itl file that stores information about all the music in your library and where these files are located.  If it is kept as a package when moving you can start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and show iTunes where the .itl with information is kept. If you only move media files to a new drive there are several options, but I'm not typing in all this information until I know what you need.

• How to use on another mac iTunes library stored on external hard drive - on cable network

  I recently bought a new iMac. I used a time machine to the top to move all files my new computer. I still want to use my old iMac as a media server for my network. The main iTunes library is located on an external hard drive connected to my old iMac.  I don't want to move all these files to my new iMac media because they are large enough.

  I sync all my families phones/ipads on this new iMac and of course difficulties with finding them their music/songs etc. When I contacted apple support, they had me move my iTunes library to my new iMac. Now phones are able to properly synchronize and pull up all of their media. However I just duplicated 200 GB of media files. I was able to access the external hard drive to move the media. Is there a way to have my new iMac external hard accessing multimedia disc in iTunes for play and synchronize multimedia files without storing this library on my new computer?

  Why not simply unplug the external hard drive and move it? And I don't think so. You can use home sharing to access the library and the Wi - Fi sync iTunes by following the instructions in the link.

  Share your iTunes library on your home network - Apple Support

• 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 .

• How to make iTunes automatically recognize the location of my iTunes library?

  I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive (all files).  Works fine when the drive is connected to the MacBook.  Recently, I decided that instead of having hung the MacBook hard drive all the time, I could connect it permanently to the network plug on my Time Capsule and access the library on the network.  Did this and traveled to the new location of the library to iTunes without any problems.  However, I must now go to the new location of the library whenever I run the iTunes application.  I know that iTunes needs to pick up the location automatically - what have I not done?

  Launch iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the file iTunes Library.itl the external drive.

  The external drive should be active and on (not sleeping) before you start iTunes.  Post by thanos206 with tip on using iTunes on external drives - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3282856 - ' create an alias of iTunes and place it on the network drive. " Then drag this alias in the dock so when iTunes launches the player must climb if it is not already. »

• I have about 14 000 songs in my library, about 4 copies of each of them. Try to remove duplicates, but can only do one at a time. I spent many hours, check all the files I want to delete only to find out that I can't delete them both?

  I have about 14 000 songs in my iTunes library, but really there are only about a quarter as much because there are so many duplicates. I don't know how they got there in the first place, and try to remove them is infuriating! I have already spent several hours going by checking all the files I want to remove (thinking that I would delete then all files at once) - only to find out that I still have to delete them one at a time. There must be a better way! Help, please.

  If you don't know that you want to delete all checked the songs in your library:

  • Create a new smart playlist with the following rules:
    
    This will show then checked all the songs in your library.
  • Select all the items in this playlist (Ctrl-A)
  • Hold the SHIFT key and press DELETE - follow the prompts to remove songs from your library and (if necessary) your PC media files

  In case of problem, you must back up your library before you do just in case the results are not what you expect - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy to backup library for a suitable and recommended method.

  There is no 'simple' way to reliably remove duplicates from a library, but see the intelligence in this threadon the use of a scripted for removal of duplicates (for example).

  Long-term, try and avoid adding anything in your iTunes library that already exists in it - that's how arise the duplicates (unlike an opinion apparently dispersed, iTunes not of is duplicate anything in normal operation).  I've seen several comments suggesting here a few users to correctly copy their library from an old computer to a new one and then add the content of its media files - guaranteed way to finish with a copy of database entries or media files.

• computer crashed, have windows vista, indented leave, all the documents lost, can I get all the files, how do

  computer crashed, have windows vista, indented leave, all the documents lost, can I get all the files, how to do it, in simple terms,

  Thank you.

  If by "computer of new beginning" you mean that you have started your recovery or disk restore factory set and reinstalled Windows, then the ability to recover your files is practically zero.  You can try a utility like Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) but since you have rewritten the entire hard drive, it is highly unlikely that anything will be recoverable.

• Media Player 11 randomly erases all the files of music from the library

  Hi all! My Media Player randomly erases all music files in the library! The only way to recover is to run the add files program once again, which takes forever!

  Thank you

• 2015.3 CC - have lost all the file audio problems video / links too

  I've upgraded to 2015.3 this morning.  Started working with a project that was shot entirely with a Panasonic GH2... and have never had any problems with it. Now in 2015.3, the project opens with none of the video on the timeline linked to their respective folders. When I try and make the link... video links and there is a message that tells me the audio isn't there... specifically the message is: the selected file contains audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences. These references to audio clip will be deleted and cannot Ωtre annulΘe. Do you want to continue? OK Cancel of course that I have to cancel, not knowing if the audio will be permanently deleted. Files from the GH2 are .mts files and it is certainly audio when played with a media player. So my question is... is this a problem with the format .mts or it's Adobe. I'm afraid to open another project that has files, .mxf or mp4 and brought them to the point completely dissociated.  Here is a screenshot.  Can I just go back to 2015.2 until find you it?

  If it worked once I deleted all the files in the shared folder. Other problems are: first runs slower, stutters during playback and sometimes freeze clips or audio is not reading... I have to stop playback and restart. Also, string stabilizer would not be made on one of my clips. Should he hold PP6 and try it rendered as a new clip.
