• I want to move my itunes library from my old PC to my new Mac, but the files on the PC in the old file structure.  How can I do this?

  I'm afraid that if I followed the instructions here (How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support), it will mess up things on my Mac that the file structure is totally different.  Is there a way to first convert the structure of the files on the PC to match the structure of files on Mac?  I've updated the version of iTunes on the PC for 12.1.3 (who he says is the most recent).  I tried following the instructions here: iTunes: understanding iTunes Media organization - Apple support but it is not an "Upgrade to iTunes Media organization" option when I go to the library to organize on the PC.  All advice is appreciated.

  This document is a bit outdated. File > library > organize library > reorganize files does the same thing as the the old upgrade to iTunes Media organization. For more information on preparing your library for the move, see make a library of portable split .

• Setting up an external hard drive to the iTunes library

  Hello world

  Drive hard internal 1 TB of my iMac is near capacity because of my growing iTunes library of music and movies.

  To revitalize the iMac that I am eager to free up space, install a new SSD and examine the possibility of moving my iTunes library on an external hard drive to save storage space.

  Here are some questions that I came with:

  1. Is it pretty easy to transfer my existing library on a hard drive external?
  2. It would be a stable and preferred solution?
  3. When you import, choose 'Copy to iTunes' preferences?
  4. Can I use my 2 TB Apple AirPort Extreme as the new destination of my iTunes library?
  5. Can I use Time Machine to back up the iTunes library on the new drive external hard or if it uses the spare wheel on the AirPort Extreme?

  Thanks in advance!

  1. Yes. Drag the entire library on the external drive, launch iTunes with down option and select it.

  2. Yes, but see #4.

  3. allow the same all the other parameters.

  4 n ° your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

  5. Yes, if he is on a drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Time Machine doesn't backup disk inside a Time Capsule.

• How can I move the iTunes file that keeps track of plays on a new hard drive

  I added an SSD for my MacBookPro and use it as a boot drive. I finally understood how to get the entire library of music to play without moving all the music for the SSD (not enough of space for everything), but I have lost all my game account.

  There must be a file that lists all these information. Where could I find it? I tried to export the library but the iTunes on the new disc he did not recognize.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  10.11.6, iTunes 12.3.4.1

  The file is the iTunes Library.itl file. This file guard track of everything in iTunes. And I mean everything. What kind of music you have, what has been deleted, playlists, play counts, ratings, date added, files, but a group which is not a lot of information duplicated in the tags attached to the media.

  It is quite difficult to judge where exactly you are in this process because you don't have not said us what you did exactly. It's easy to make a mess of a library in doing things without knowing exactly how iTunes really works rather than how we think it works. You can try to copy this file .itl on the original to the new one and maybe drive he always knows that the media files are the original disk, but I'm not positive.

  Just to let you know, using a library distributed in this way can lead to complications on the road and requires that begin you now learn the details of the operation of iTunes if you can avoid the problems.

  On the iTunes library files - https://support.apple.com/HT201610 - does not mention that a complete library of work also includes other files and also files in the iTunes folder.

• How can I move the main library of FCPX sys HARD drive to another HARD drive

  I am a beginner FCPX...

  I use an SSD as diss system. I n ' love to load this SSD with such a library. Is it possible to move the main library on another hard drive?

  A big thank you to you all

  Assuming that the middle is inside the library, just copy it to another disk and remove it from the SSD. It must be a Mac disk in format.

• 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.

• Reconstruction of the iTunes library

  Is it possible to rebuild the iTunes library that you can rebuild the iPhoto and photo libraries? I tried now down the command and option/alt keys while opening iTunes and that didn't work. I lost a lot of my album art and I was wondering if a reconstruction would help. With the help of iTunes 12.4.1.

  Initial post to retrieve the work:

• listed in the iTunes library, but when try to read message indicates missing.

  My iTunes are listed, but when I try to play I received the message that they do not find.  When I try to add music to the slideshow, the entire library is not listed only a few songs.

  If you know where is the iTunes library:

  Open iTunes while holding the Alt/option key, iTunes asks you which library to open, iTunes point to him. He later recalled.

• Import in bulk to the iTunes library

  To rebuild the iTunes library of different folders on my computer (from thousands of songs etc.), what I have to use import to library in iTunes or can I drag and drop the files in the Finder, which would be faster?

  Drag & drop is probably slightly faster than with a file > add folder to library and accessing each location in turn. Having said that, in an ideal world, you put all the media you want to include in your library iTunes in the iTunes Media folder first, then add the media folder. This makes it easy to save, restore or migrate the library to a computer or a new player. For general information, see make a library of portable split .

• Message: "some items in the iTunes library... no were not copied to iPod... because they cannot be played on iPod.

  I get the message "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on iPod."  The listed songs have always copied, sync would and played on my iPod. My iPod is old, but I've never had this message before. Go listen to songs on my Mac.

  This looks like what happened a few weeks ago.  I quit iTunes, then he revived.  The problem disappeared and has not returned.

• Music using Apple without replacing the iTunes library

  I have a carefully organized iTunes library consisting of more than 2000 CDs ripped in high quality AIFF 16/44 and more than 1000 LPs ripped in high quality AIFF 24 / 96.  I corrected mistakes in album art and metadata over the last decade in the construction of this library.

  I am interested in the plan on the part of Apple music family.  We have 3 AppleTV that I would be able to use the service on 3 iPhones and 3 iPads.

  What should I do to make sure that I don't experience that some have, there where Apple music begins to overwrite all files and associated data in my current iTunes library folder with files of quality lower and data from Apple's music?

  I don't think he could emphasize enough that you need to secure a complete backup of your existing music and the iTunes library files that you have obviously invested a lot of time in. Only then would consider allowing music to Apple.

• the itunes library could not be saved you have enough greenest access for this operation

  I get the following message when I upload music when I am in itunes. the itunes library could not be saved. You have enough greenest access for this operation

  Hi WesleyJefferson,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: These messages occur if the permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or a folder in your designated music folder. The permissions are settings that determine who can read, write, or execute a file or a folder on your computer. Each file and folder on your hard drive has an associated permission set.

  Example: If the permissions are correct on your music folder, but incorrect on the U2 folder inside your music folder, you would be able to add other music to your iTunes library, but not this new U2 album.

  To apply permissions to a file or folder, see the article mentioned below:

  How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308419

  Method 2: You can also read the article and check.

   

  Difficulties to add music to iTunes or audio CD import library

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS1387

   

  Method 3: Try to uninstall iTunes and other apple system applications and reinstall iTunes again. See the apple Web site to download iTunes. Click on the link below.

• do not download itunes open said the itunes library file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes

  The iTuneslibrary.itl file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

  Hello

  This error prevents the launch of iTunes. The library file has been modified to work with the new version of iTunes, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple save the iTunes library file in a subdirectory that allows you to revert to the previous version.

  
  Method 1:
  You can try the steps to recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file.
  a. open your folder My Documents\My Music\ (Itunes).
  b. we backup the current version first. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library.itl.bak to something.
  c. go to the My Documents\My Music\Previous of iTunes libraries folder.
  d. you can see several files that start with the iTunes library and have a date included in the name. Copy the new file into the folder.
  f. return to the my documents\Ma music and paste the file in the previous step. (The folder in step 1)
  g. rename the new file copied to iTunes Library.itl.
  Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and the problem is solved,
  
  Method 2:
  If the problem persists then you can also uninstall and reinstall iTunes and check if it helps:
  Remove and reinstall iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
