Songs in the iTunes Media folder not in iTunes library

• Edition of songs in the iTunes library

  Now, something seems to be missing. In the past, when I wanted to make a correction or add information about a song from my iTunes library, I just skimmed the text cursor, I wanted to change. Finally, I would have the opportunity to make changes. Now, there seems to be no way to make changes. A typical example is a song whose title has not been demonstrated (I have a lot of that). In any case, I found it impossible to type in the title. How can I do?

  Have you tried this:

  Highlight a song in your list. Go to the Edit menu and choose read information. You can make changes in the pop-up window.

  (It was in the Preferences section. None. I found it by chance.)

• How do repeat a song in the iTunes library when you manually download a playlist?

  If I manually download a reading list, duplicate these songs on my iPod, and if so, how can I avoid this?

  Eelle not "duplicate". A song can be in several different playlists without be duplicated.

• 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.

• In 12.4.1.6, where do you see the total number of songs in your iTunes library?

  In 12.4.1.6, where do you see the total number of songs in your iTunes library?

  In my case (iTunes on OS X 10.9.5 12.4.1), in the library section of the box I choose songs and the number appears in the status bar at the bottom of the iTunes window.  If you do not have the visible status bar, it can be activated from the iTunes menu bar, display > show status bar.

  Good luck

• I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

  I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

  Unless you're 'home sharing', which he does not seem like you are, two libraries (macbook and iMac) are distinct, so a change does not affect the other.  Best way to test would be to remove a few songs you can download easily and see if it changes.  But I don't think it will be a problem.

• 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.

• 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

• I can't move folders/files in the iTunes library

  Hello

  I am reorganizing my iTunes library after the implementation of a server. Even if I used the dialog box in iTunes (Preferences) to move the files, many, many links were broken. There is now a location in the library moved with the following path: X:\iTunes Library\Music\Unknown Artist\Unknown Album. The files in this folder are all parts of the existing albums. The rest of the songs from these albums are properly located in the location of the library, which is to library X:\iTunes. Most of these files is purchased AAC files. The files are not corrupt, by what they play. They also seem to have the correct information, when I look in the Properties dialog box, or query information through read in iTunes. In iTunes, it is ALWAYS the path: X:\iTunes Library\Music\artist\album, with the annexed artist/Album information. For example: X:\iTunes Library\Music\Michael buble\christmas\01 it starts to resemble a large number of Like.m4a. I would like to move these files to their correct locations in X:\iTunes Library\artist\album, as well as the rest of the files in the albums they are detached. When I try to move the files, they are not being apparently copied or moved. If I connect them to the entries in iTunes after the move or double click on it to play in iTunes, they disappear from the new location and reappear in a folder with the path X:\iTunes Library\Music\Unknown Artist\Unknown Album or one with a path like this: X:\iTunes Library\Music. I have no solution to this problem, I have tried everything I know to do to fix and searching newsgroups for a solution. I'm on Win10 and iTunes 12.3.1.23. Help, please. This is driving me crazy.

  The typical reason for the files are moved to the folder unknown Artist\Unknown Album is that they do not have a tag or the tag is empty. This is true of all the files in the .wav format, as they have tags. In some cases, mp3 files may have several tags, that maybe not all the same data and including an iTunes reads or updates is not set. ITunes can finally move things forward in the wrong folder where there are permissions issues, but usually that moves things to a level or in rare cases throw them on the desktop.

  When you say that allowing you to move the preferences files, you update the path in the media folder and then consolidate library (create copies, leaving you to delete the originals by hand) or did you move them by hand and then update the file? This second method is a common cause of problems. When it works it is a happy coincidence. It is not how you are supposed to move content from iTunes.

  In a modern iTunes library, the correct layout for the elements of music is \Music\- with other types of media stored in different subfolders ------.

  Follow the steps to repair the security permissions for iTunes for Windows to your Media X:\iTunes library folder.

  Verify under file > library > library organize the box to reorder the files is grayed out. In case contrary it check now and apply. It should reorganize and files located in ------------ form. He pourrait also move things out of unknown Artist\Unknown Album.

  Look for the entry in the library for one of the files that is still unknown Artist\Unknown Album and information. Check that album & artist are filled. What format is the file? A correction in the name of the song, for example to add an end of X. Assuming you have the possibility to keep organized activated now moves to the right folder? If so turn keep organized power off, then turn it back on it. Who should correct the other misplaced items.

• 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 .

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
