Will I lose my music/videos if I delete my folder "downloads" after I transferred to my iTunes?

I want to delete all my music and video files in the folder "downloads".  I transferred all these files to iTunes but will I lose the music and videos if I delete the folder "downloads"?

The normal behaviour for iTunes is to put a copy of media that you add manually to the correct iTunes media folder, so in theory, you can remove these downloads.  If you want to double check you can right click on the item in the iTunes window and > show in Finder to reveal the real iTunes file uses.

    Will I lose my music downloads that are located in the "MY DOWNLOADS" folder "IF" I remove them, once they are transferred to my iTunes account?

    Hello JMarione,

    Thank you for your message.  Because it's really a question of iTunes I refer you to http://www.apple.com/au/support/itunes/.  Support you should get it will ensure that all your media will be transferred correctly.  This is a forum for Vista, and many people have different one from the other configurations.  A good answer for a single person on this forum could still lose you some of your files, because the installation program may be different.  Good luck.

    See you soon

    Mvangordon,

    She will be able to keep all purchases on his account.  See this document:

    Family shares - Apple Support

    Note that "all eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books and applications already bought by members of the family are immediately available for everyone in the family."

    In the future if she leaves the group sharing of the family, she is no longer able to share purchases, but she will always keep its own.

  • I restored my iPod, but now, only 300 2000 songs will be synchronized in all, no music videos, movies or TV shows will synchronize

    I have restored my iPod, but now only 300 songs 2000 + can be synced through. No music videos, movies or TV shows will be synchronized.

    Songs must be store on the local storage of the computer to sync with your iPod.  Find one of the songs that will not sync to the iPod in your library iTunes music.  Right click it and get the information.  In the Info window, file tab, look at the location.  Does show a path of file to local storage on your computer, or does mean iCloud?

    Another way to see is to show your iTunes music library using the songs view (list of simple songs with columns).  If the column download iCloud is currently hidden, make visible (line header right click to show/hide columns).  This column is narrow with a cloud symbol in the title.  If you see a symbol of the cloud with the arrow pointing down to the songs (in this column), these songs are stored only in iCloud.  It is not accessed by iTunes from your computer storage.

    Thus, for the issuance of songs, a possible reason for the synchronization only 300 songs is because the rest are accessed iCloud (Apple servers).  These song files can still be stored on the storage of your computer, but iTunes lost track of the local copy for any reason whatsoever and is now with access to icloud.  Maybe you moved the folder iTunes Media manually at a certain time and these records of existing local songs got 'lost' in iTunes; the 300 songs are those that you added from this point, so iTunes knows where these music files (and can sync them to your iPod).

    For your movies and TV shows, the cause could be the same. You can access them by streaming from iCloud, instead of local storage.  You will also need to set up the settings screen of the iPod for the synchronization of the TV shows and movies, if you haven't already.  To view these images, select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to display the settings for the abstract of the iPod in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click on movies (and TV shows).  To the right, check the box for the Films of synchronization ( sync TV Shows) and set up the synchronization.  Then, click apply.

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

    PHOTO IMPORT IOS ON MAC/PC

  • If I had to restore my music library after a computer failure, if I sync my iPod I lose the music?

    I had to restore my music library after a computer failure, but not all of my library was reatored. If I sync my iPod what do I lose music? I heard that

    You can not sync music between the two if the iPod has iTunes has no music. I don't want to lose my entire library which is at this point on the iPod.

    If you "restore" your iTunes library by adding your songs (and other content) to a new iTunes library (instead of restore full of backup iTunes library), your current iTunes library is treated as a different iPod iTunes library.  iPods can use Auto-Sync with one iTunes library at a time.  If you have set up the synchronization with your current iTunes library, the existing content of the iPod (from the old iTunes library) is deleted and replaced with the contents of your current iTunes library.  All the songs from the iPod that are not on your iTunes current library will be lost.

    By design, iTunes sync is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer (with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few links (including a CNET article on the subject).

    Once the song on your disk files, add them to your current iTunes library.  After the confirmation of your iTunes library has all of your songs, you can configure synchronization with the iPod.

  • If I download a new version of itunes, I lose my music library?

    If I download a new version of itunes, I lose my music library?

    Debby,

    I answered this question on your other post, but if you want the answer here, no you won't. You need to stay connected and all your songs will be there, unless something goes wrong, which is rare. If that were to happen, you can always get it back by signing into iTunes and then going to section purchased from the iTunes store and re - download everything.

  • Main volume changes of levels with noise levels of the music/videos

It's basically alleviate other sounds on my computer but I never manually changed anything and may not know how to solve this return to normal. Help, please!

    Hi Mtyre4269,

    Method 1: Run the fixit available in the link below and check

    Diagnose and automatically repair audio playback problems

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/NO_SOUND

    Method 2: Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to follow normal start-up step 7 in the link.

  • How to make a music video .vob to work in movie maker? __

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    How to make a music video .vob to work in movie maker? __

    ========================================
    First you try to rename the .vob to .mpg or .avi file and try
    to import... If Movie Maker accepts the file, drag it on the timeline
    and publish (save) in .wmv format in a folder on your hard drive
    drive. Then re-import the .wmv file and you are ready to change.

    In addition, you will need software to convert the .vob file to the
    .wmv format. The following freeware can be worth a try:

    SUPER
    Universal Player Encoder & Renderer
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Super
    (the download mirror site is faster)

    (FWIW... it is always a good practice to create one)
    System restore point before installing new software)

    After installing the program GREAT... open...
    you will see two small circles at the top left
    corner of the screen... check the UPPER circle.

    Now... Drag/Drop your. VOB file in the current field.

    Output container... Choose wmv...

    Video scale size / no change

    Left, click the Encode button.

    Choice: A Simple Profile / OK...

    Wait... wait longer...

    (FWIW... I have better luck with video if I'm not
    try to multi-task while a file is being converted)

    When the file is converted, you should find it in...
    Program Files / eRightSoft / Super / exit.

    Or... you can type... CTRL + O.. o open the Save
    Window and choose a backup folder.

    Good luck...

  • Music, videos, photos are locked and access is STILL denied

    I know that many of these threads exist but I tried all the solutions listed in them and nothing works.

    I am an administrator on my laptop. There is only one account, mine. Suddenly, my music, my documents, my videos and my pictures are locked. There is a lock on each icon and when I click on it it is said "(FilePath) is not accessible." Access is denied. " I did not change any hardware or software recently.

    Here's what I've tried:
    -Restore default on all folders (I followed the steps here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/my-music-videos-pictures-etc-folders-are-locked/161848fe-bf6f-4496-bb5a-eec57a4f0229?tm=1318579192799)
    -Give me all permissions (following the steps described here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/why-is-my-music-etc-locked-in-the-pubilc-folder/62114412-59bc-48fa-a6ec-4ae9b0b5ae5e)
    -Double check that there are not any other accounts. It does not exist.

    When I go to properties/security for my user account, it tells me that all the accounts (I only have one account on my laptop, but my name; Everyone; and system appear) have all permissions.

    I tried to pass in user / all users and permissions of total following the steps to give everyone and I says that access is denied. It really starts to annoy me. It has been like this for weeks, and I can't access my files. Nothing I've done so far has worked (I even did a full system restore).

    Someone at - it any other ideas?

    Thank you.

    Hello AliceHayes,

    If you go in Windows Explorer, and then under libraries, you should see Documents, music, photos and videos. You should be able to access files and folders listed there.

    However, if you scroll the users folders and to extend it, the folders for all users, the default user and your own file will show the lock on the file. It is the value by default or by design.

    If you go into your profile user (Alice) folder, then you can develop and see all of your files to the breast. You can open My Documents, my music and my pictures there and should not receive an access denied.

    If you have another user on the computer, you would not be able to access their profile folders unless you log in as this user or if you are logged on as administrator.

    Not sure if this will help.
    The best thing to do is to send us a screenshot of what you see with locks on files. In addition, please include a screenshot of when you click on the folder and the message access denied error.

    Thank you

  • How to manually activate LowerField music videos in progressive video clips -?

    Hi all

    I have my music videos lined up on my pasteboard AdobePremElement13, they are all in the lower field (and Pal 25f/s (!) 4:3)

    I need to have returned them in a (uncompressed) Avi output in progressive instead.

    (Elements13 does, ok, but I'm not sure on the quality of the connection securing: my editor will compress the avi file on a DVD Pal subsequently, and also as a file to be read on computer and that is why they prefer gradual-).

    Rendering automatically re-encode the file down field in a Progressive file, or there are losses to be expected? or am I limited otherwise to maintain order at LowerField, due to my video clips being LowerField originally?  The problem with LowerField its DVD is Pal, so it seems it should be UpperField (!).

    It was decided that he would develop progressive (non interlaced) as well as the film be read anywhere, but is it possible? and is it possible with Elements13?

    == > why I ask:

    -Of course I specify rendering of time 'progressive' settings, but I want to be sure that I don't have to recode manually each clips video (I have 77 of them) of LowerField to progressive. Should be, how on Elements13? I don't see the device to operate this initial transformation.

    (you can see there are two questions in one, as I am a bit confused by the problem in which I am)

    Much thanks yous!

    Dewey.

    If your original video is interlaced (bottom field first) and your project settings Premiere Elements perfectly with the specifications of your video, then all you need to do is exit your video with a gradual adjustment and it comes out gradually. Without interlacing.

    I don't know how that will affect NTSC to PAL conversion, given that other factors to consider also (frame rate).

    What is the original source of your video? It comes from a camcorder?

    What is the resolution and speed of the video?

  • How can I sync my music video with my reading in preview?

    So I have a problem-newbie in Adobe Flash Professional CC, my music video is out of sync with playback from the timeline. I want to have an After effects - like experience, where my reading 'line' is synchronized upward with the waveform that I see. Audio also plays when I start from the first keyframe and when I try to start a preview of later in the animation, the sound will only play at all. Right now, I have to drag the aaaaaaaaaallllll end of the track to the right frame until it reaches the end of the music, so that he cut out the music when I press CTRL + ENTER.

    This photo shows what I mean a little more in detail. Sometimes I'm display are not real, there overdramatised just to explain what I got.

    Untitled.png

    It's really annoying to not be able to use the waveform in the timeline as a good indication where the music REALLY is, and I have to read from the beginning to be able to hear the music at all. Animation to music is just about impossible when faced with this.

    Does anyone have a solution?

    If so, I'd be very happy.

    Emilian

    EDIT:

    I found the solution!

    In the properties of the music to the title of 'His', the Sync Stream value. That will fix the wave being out of sync!

    If you have yet to drag all the way, it fixes a lot of things. I can even hear on each image preview.

    Glad that you solved it the. Please indicate your question as responded to others if you are looking for something similar is the solution.
