As of today I can no longer delete music from iTunes.

Hello friends!
I can't seem to delete music from iTunes 10.(whatever the latest version is) or on my iPhone4. I just want to change what I have on my iPhone, but then I realized that it may be an issue with iTunes after I tried to delete something there.
I only know of two ways to delete music. One is to select/ highlight want I want to delete and select the delete funtion in the edit part of the bar. The other is to do the Command D shortcut. Neither of these work as of today. Yesterday it did indeed work for I changed some stuff before work. 
I am nothing of a techy sort. Here is some info, but it may be invalid.
*I have an eMac running Leopard.
*iTunes 10.4 (I think) last update a few days ago.
*iPhone 4...updated today with the new updates.
*I have my music saved on an external harddrive. I have the folder set up to put my library there.
*Edit/ Delete doesn't work, neither does Command D.
This is the only issue I've ever had. Any suggestions?

It could be an issue with permissions on your system.
I would suggest beginning your troubleshooting by running Disk Utility (In the applications--> utilities folder), and choosing "Repair Permissions".
You should also check to see if the music has a little exclamation mark next to the song -- that means it isn't able to find your music, and you'll want to doubleclick the song to make sure it plays okay.
Secondly I would suggest you run Disk Utility again and this time you run it on your external drive and select "Repair Disk".  That will check your external drive for problems.
My guess is that your iTunes Music Library file inside your User folder--> Music folder is damaged.. but see where you get with the Disk utility repairs first and let us know!

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • I can no longer delete music from my iPhone or IPod

    I have an early iPod, my wife has an iPhone and an iPad.  I have tried to delete music (transferred from my owned CDs to the computer) and podcasts from these instruments, but when I go to my computer and attach the device like I used to, the music is greyed out and I cannot delete it.  What do I do?

    Sounds like you want to manually remove content from each device.  In order to be able to do that, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option enabled under each device's Summary tab in iTunes.
    If you want to continue automatically syncing each device with iTunes, you'll need to configure each device to no longer sync the content you want removed from each device via the Music configuration tab.

  • Can no longer play music from iTunes on Apple TV

    I used to be able to choose in iTunes where I wanted to play music - my computer or Apple TV. There was a drop down menu in the bottom right corner of iTunes. I no longer have this option. Is this no longer possible?

    Still possible.
    You need to ensure AppleTV has the Airtunes function enabled in it's settings:
    Settings>Airtunes>Airtunes - On

  • I can no longer drag music from my computer into iTunes.

    I updated iTunes to the most recent download and installed the newest update on my iPhone 4. Now I can no longer drag music from my PC into iTunes. Not even into a new playlist. None of my settings changed. Please help.

    Try
    - Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

    How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

    Hi,
    If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

  • I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

    I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

    iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

  • HT1848 how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes.  Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
    iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access.  It will not load media onto the device.
    Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported.

  • TA22652 Some of my music was purchased with an old email address which I no longer have. I have forgotten the password to it and can no longer use music from old account. We moved and no longer have the same email service, but would like to use all music

    Some of my music was purchased with an old email address (old account) which is no longer valid. Since it has been a long time since we used the email address we no longer know the password. Now I can't access the music from my old account due to using a new computer. I've purchased the music and downloaded cds with the old account and need to be able to get my music.
    Thank  you!!
