Editing Tunes in iTunes

Hi! First iTunes post: This is what I want to do...and as easy as humanly possible!
Take tunes (songs) I have imported from CDs and edit those tunes to REMOVE the clapping at the end of the track. Name, some of my favorite Keith Jarrett piano solos I would like to put together in a playlist....but the applause on some of those tracks go on 5 minutes!! Like to remove end of some of those tracks.
Easy way to do this and still keep good CD quality sound?

If you have any experience with iMovie you can edit the audio in iMovie and then Share/Export just the audio. This will not work with iTunes purchased music. I do this all the time in iMovie.
Open iMovie and select the Audio tab, this will bring up your iTunes library. Select the song you want and drag it to the area that says "Drag audio here to build your project" In the View menu make sure to uncheck "Show Clip volume" and "Show Audio Waveform". Go to the end of your audio clip and if you move your mouse you will see a black line with an arrow in both directions. Press the mouse and you can move your clip to the left to shorten the clip. When you get it to the area you want to end the song, save the file then go to File>share/export> select Quicktime icon and choose expert settings from the pull down menu press share/export. Select the Export pull down menu and choose "music to aiff" you can then put that saved file into itunes.
I know that was long but I hope it helped...Remember you cannot do this with purchased iTunes music.

Lion 10.7.2 Finder does not see many tunes in iTunes 10.5

Starting with iTunes 10.5 (141) 64-bit, on my MacBook Air with Lion 10.7.2, many tunes that iTunes sees are not seen in the Finder. And they can no longer be synced to my iPhone 4 with iOS5. How can I fix this?

Ok, so, the best FIRST test is to try from the local lan, same lan as the Lion server. L2TP works fine for me, PPTP definitely has a bug. You can configure the VPN connection in your network system preferences on the client machine. Just put in your local server IP.
The idea here is to first make sure VPN works on the LAN (which is useless of course but great for troubleshooting), once it does, THEN you can go to the next step and troubleshoot the remote connection.

How to delete tune without iTunes

Hi,
I have a problem, I have some old podcast which I like to keep on my harddrive. Then I got the ipod, so I want to store the podcast episodes there. But dragging direct from Finder to ipod show me it copied but didn't appear under podcast. I found out after a few trial and error that I should have added the podcast to iTunes before dragging into ipod. So...
Good : Finder -> iTunes Podcast -> iPod
Bad : Finder -> iPod
So now those files I drag direct from finder into ipod are in the ipod but I can't get rid of them, cause they don't show up in the iTunes list. It shows up in Senuti and iPodDisk, but both don't allow me to delete the song. Now I can't drag those podcast episodes in to ipod from iTunes podcast anymore. It somehow recognise that the file exist on the ipod but wouldn't list it on the podcast.
So, back to the question, How to delete tune without iTunes?? thanks

Did you try using the Finder? I'm trying to accomplish similar management tasks. Finder seems far superior to itune management, for podcasts management. This might work-- First quit itunes.
Use a finder window, not spotlight, search itunes and single-click on any folder by that name. Notice which of these files is in your startup disc (in case you have other bootable drives connected)-- Notice the little icons on the bottom of the Finder window. Double click on "iTunes Music" at the window bottom. A new Finder window should open. I recomend the list mode, selectable at the top left of Finder window. Now you should be able to view all your itune- contents on the computer. It seems these files can be deleted, but one must remeber to empty trash before going further. Unfortunately this approach won't allow adding new folders that will show up in itunes.

Try to change the credit information from your iphone or other ios device. Tap on settings > store > tap Apple ID > tap view account > tap payment information > change

Can't edit descriptions in iTunes

For some reason I can edit anything in iTunes, meaning song titles, album, etc. It almost acts like it is locked or something.

Make sure you have Read/Write permissions the folder and all fines in it.

How to skip the currently-playing tune in iTunes 11?

How do I skip the currently-playing tune in iTunes 11 if I don't want to hear the rest of it? Clicking pause and then play just resumes that same tune, which often isn't what I want to do.
I'm using an HP laptop with the Win 7 Home Premium operating system, if this makes any difference.

In the Movies list view right click on the header row ie Name, Time, Genre etc at the top of the movie window. Select Date Added from the list. a new column Date Added will show and you can sort on this by Clicking on it.

Edit MP3s in iTunes

Is there a way to edit MP3s in iTunes? For instance, if I have a 1 hour file I want to split into 3 20 minute files? I know I can do it by changing the "Start Time" and "End Time", but that requires duplicating the file and any change you make to one copy is made on another so I cannot have 3 different start/end times. Plus, the file size is still 100% of original.
Also, are there any fade-in, fade-out effects you can add? Any suggestions?

I am sure there are plenty of audio editing software titles out there; I actually use GarageBand which came with my computer. I don't know how computer saavy you are, but it didn't take long to learn the program using common sense and the help screens. It is very memory intensive, though - converting to aiff. then when you export to iTunes it goes in as aiff, but you can always convert back to mp3 or whatever and delete the aiff. And you have to re-enter all the song info. Now that I think about it.... it IS a lot of work, but you can do so much and you probably already have the GarageBand for free.

I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

My answer in the older thread is still valid
Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
Please open Terminal and issue the following command
ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
you should get a line similar to this
drwxrwxrwx 13 yourusername staff hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
Numbers, date and time may differ.
If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

Restore iPod tunes to iTunes

Hi,
My computer recently had a virus which required me to reformat my unbacked up computer. As such, all my tunes (both iTunes purchased and CD sourced) are only on my iPod. While the iTunes purchased songs are already restored, am I able to restore the other music back to my newly formatted computer? I have copied the files from the iPod to the hard disk, opened iTunes, and double clicked each file to then have it brought up in iTunes. However, this just results in the song having an apostrophe next to it and the comment that the 'original file could not be found'. Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks.

*am I able to restore the other music back to my newly formatted computer*
There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Editing shortcuts in iTunes

Do I can edit shortcuts on iTunes?

Just click on the song in your library that you want to add and drag it to the Party Shuffle icon. If you want to add multiple songs that are spread out in your library CTRL & Click on the songs you want to highlight them and drag the whole lot over.

I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card. I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

Because iTunes simply wants you to verify your name & address is correct in your account info.

HT204406 How do you download the tunes in iTunes Match to an iPod?

How do you download the tunes in iTunes Match in iCloud to an iPod?

I did see this yes, I also spent about 20 minutes on the phone finally with a technical support person at Apple who told me to restart and reset my phone which got rid of the few playlists I'd somehow managed to keep on my phone, and also got me off his back because I had to hang up with him to do so....useless.

Editing Tags in itunes - does tag info stay with file?

I have a question about editing tags in itunes, hopefully I can explain myself clearly enough here...
I have a very large music collection...almost 10,000 files now, and have spent alot of time editing the tags, renaming mispelled artists and song names etc...my question is, when that tag is edited, will all that tag info remain intact when I copy the actual mp3's to another computer? I want to back all the music up to my laptop, which is running same version of itunes, but I don't want to have to start over again with editing the tags. When I initially put the files on my computer the tags were really messed.
Thanks for any info.

Here is the last list I've had of attributes and were they reside:
For M4A and MP3 files... (WAV files do not have tags)
These are only in the iTunes Library files (ITL & XML):
-- Playlists
-- Ratings
-- Play Count
-- Last Played
-- Date Added
-- Date Modified
-- Equalizer
-- Volume Adjustment
These are stored in the music file itself:
-- Artist
-- Album
-- Song Title
-- Year
-- Comments
-- Compilation tag
-- Lyrics
-- Genre
-- Grouping
-- Volume Adjustment (a special iTunes only tag in the file - non-standard)
-- Composer
-- Bit Rate (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- BPM
-- Kind (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- Album Art (only stored in the file - not copied to the iTunes Library ITL or XML files)
Best of Luck

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes iPhone 4s?

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes on my Sony Vaio to my iPhone 4s? My computer recognizes my phone but iTunes doesn't. Does it just need updating, if so then how do I do that? I haven't been able to sync tunes onto my iPhone 4s yet (I got it at christmas 2013)

Hello, EloiseGO100.
Since your device is not recognized in iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Why is it taking forever to transfer tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, I have over 6500 to copy and the current rate is 2 tunes per minute

I am just copying tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, there are 6675 to copy and the present rate of transfer is 2 tunes per minute, which means that it will take over 55 hours at this rate,
This has never happened before previously it took next to no time so what is happening?

That show that your original library is damaged and needs to be repaired. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
