New itunes install. All the songs are on an external hard drive. A lot of songs do not show up in itunes, but they are in the folder on the external drive.

This seems to be a common problem:

Recently I had to reinstall Win 10 & then itunes. All the songs are on an external HD iTunes does not show a large number of songs that are in the folder on the external drive. I copied the .itl to the new itunes folder. I also tried holding down - from itunes shift - select a library. Any ideas how to be able to see the songs in the itunes on the hard drive folder in the itunes library?

Thanks in advance

Steve

See make a library of portable split. Have you copied the correct .itl file, or should you connect an external hard disk .itl file? If you can find the correct .itl, it should have all your songs and playlists. See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library when the library has been altered for the first time with the new system. If you have to start creating your new library in an iTunes folder to the root of the external drive and move all the media inside... \iTunes\iTunes Media before adding to the library.

    I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

    The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.

    Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

  • reinstalled itunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated

    r

    I reinstalled iTunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated. How can I delete everyone else?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

  • Update to new IOS - now all the photos from iphoto to my macBook suddenly are also on my iphone5S - how to delete photos on my phone without deleting on the macbook?

    Hello dear, I need your help.

    I did yesterday an update to new IOS - now all the photos from iphoto to my MacBook are suddenly also on my iphone5S - how to delete photos on my phone without deleting on the macbook?

    They are very old photo from my childhood so I definitley them do not need on my phone, but on my MacBook, I want to keep them.

    Thank you very much for your support.

    Check the settings on your iPhone.  Have you enabled iCloud photo library in the settings > iCloud > Photos on your iPhone?  Or "my photo stream?

    If you have iCloud library active on your and your iPhone photos sync iCloud and from there will to all your devices.

    If you do not want to synchronize on your iPhone photos, clear the iCloud photo library, but do not allow to delete photos from iCloud, or they will be removed the Mac as well.  With the removal of your iPhone, wait until all iCloud photo options have been disabled.

  • It is important to install all the updates popping up on my computer?

    Installation of updates

    I was wondering if it is important to install all the updates popping up on my computer.  Looks like I get notifications every day!  Is it good or bad to make them... and so good, that I have to do all of them?  What those specifically do I do?  HELP CoffeeAnnie

    You need install all the critical updates in order to preserve the safety of various exploits of hackers and malware from your Vista.  Also called security updates, these loopholes hackers have found to enter your system somehow.  Important updates correct various problems of performance.  All updates are designed to prevent potential problems and enhance your Windows experience.

    Normally, the new updates are available on Windows Update the second Tuesday (aka "Patch Tuesday") of each month.  Occaisionally updates are also available on the fourth Tuesday as well, but the vast majority is released on Patch Tuesday.  The only time when Windows updates are offered to other dates is when an update is critical at the moment, which means that Microsoft has detected an imminent danger of criticism for its users.

    Office updates follow the same pattern.

    There are other Microsoft products including the team out of updates on a different schedule, but who do not concern most users.

    I recommend to use the automatic updates and install programs.  Keep your Windows up-to-date protects your investment in your computer.

    Monthly updates do not reach the GB amounts; they are a few MBs.

    You must install all the updates of priority; the options are to you.

    Performance and security updates are very important to keep your camera in a good and safe working order.

  • Installed all the drivers from HP for HP17-3077NR site, still a PCI device is uninstalled

    Hi all

    I had recently no other choice, then to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit on my HP Envy 17-3077NR. Everything works well so far, but I noticed that in Device Manager, a PCI device seems not to be installed. I tried an extensive search on the internet, has tried to update the driver on Windows. Uninstalled the resettled drivers and the device new & again. I installed all the drivers from the hp website for my 17-3077nr, but still a PCI device is uninstalled. Nothing seems to work. This is the first time that I am reaching out in a forum, because I'm desperate.

    Anyone have an idea I was not yet executed?
