How do i rename tracks in itunes in a imac?

You can use Get Info for a selected song - with a song selected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Get Info - the keyboard shortcut for this will be available next to the Get Info selection.
iTunes includes an option to check for album artwork for songs that don't have it, or search the web and download your own which can be added via the Get Info function for a selected song. The last tab for the various selections is the artwork - it can be added there.

Can you batch rename tracks in iTunes for Mac?

I want to do a sequential track naming, but I can't figure how to do this and the Doug's applescript isn't working - it renames my FILES instead of the TRACKS!
These tracks are from an audiobook on CD, and it's tiresome to have to search for the "part" when all the tracks are numbered 1-99 and the only thing keeping them from being in the wrong order is the fact that I told iTunes the disc order in the 'Get Info' menu. It wouldn't be so hard on the MacBook, but I usually listen to these on my iPhone, and scrolling through literally hundreds of tracks takes forever, and sometimes I STILL can't find which track was playing last!
I've done a batch rename using an Automator workflow setup I found on the web, but I can't find anything that lets me actually rename the tracks. I've even deleted the tracks from iTunes, renamed the files, deleted the faulty script that screwed things up, and it STILL comes up with the weird numbers and track numbers and renames the files in Finder!!!
I'm getting really frustrated with this and don't want to have to rename tracks by hand because that takes HOURS.

Hi,
Here is an AppleScript example of how to rename tracks in iTunes :
display dialog "What will be the base name?" default answer "Track "
set baseName to text returned of the result
set n to 1 -- the starting number
tell application "iTunes"
      repeat with thisTrack in (get selection) -- rename selected tracks
            set name of thisTrack to baseName & n
            set n to n + 1
      end repeat
end tell
Without more information, I can not make script specific to your needs.

HT2953 how to join audiobook tracks in iTunes 11

Since there's no Advanced tab in iTunes 11, I can't figure out how to join audiobook tracks into one. I am trying to add an audiobook to iTunes so I can transfer it to my iPod. For instance, each Disc has 10 different tracks. I used to be able to click on the Advanced tab and then click Join and the tracks would be combined into one. I don't see any option for doing that now. Thanks for any help.

Just found the answer on another thread. Answer was from j5Garcia:
You have to select the tracks to join then go to options I have been joining tracks with no issues. It took me a bit to figure out but I find it easier to join tracks than before since its right on the screen and you no longer have to go to the the toolbar.
If i could figure out how to take a screen shot I would post it.

How can I remotely control what iTunes song my iMac is playing to multiple AppleTV's?

So I own an iMac that has homesharing enabled. I then tell the iMac to play to both of my AppleTV's by holding OPTION key down while clicking on Airplay, and checking off the devices that I want it to stream to filling my home with sound that is in sync in every room. Works beautifully. Only problem is that I can not then control the iMac remotely from let's say the bedroom to pick a new artist. The ATV's become dumb clients simply playing what the iMac is pumping to them. Is there a remote interface that allows me to control iTunes on the iMac to choose the sounds being broadcast to the other Apple devices?
NO. VNC is a ghetto work around to accomplish this. Yes, I could do that, but it is inefficient, and inelegant. I am looking for a remote control app with the functionality that allows me to connect to and see the device that I want to control, and then by choosing my iMac, see all artists/albums/songs, play them and let the iMac pump the tunes to the devices that I told iTunes to Airplay to.
Ideally, the AppleTV's should know that they are acting as clients to the iMac serving centrally, but when I pick up an AppleTV remote, it overrides the stream from the iMac, and then the ATV begins streaming independently from the other. I KNOW there is a solution to this...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Adam

ok... solved it. By using the Apple Remote app, you can tell the app to control your iMac (I did not know that) and that solved the issue. Now the iMac plays the song I want to all of the devices that I told the iMac to play to. Perfect.

How can I find tracks in itunes Music Library that I have NOT copied to my

HI,
I have more tracks in my iTunes music library than will fit on my iPod. for each track in my iTunes music libary I'd like to see whether or not that track is also on my iPod. I know I can do this track by track by looking up each track in the iPod directory but that could take months. What I want is to be able to filter or sort my iTunes music library by this attribute so I can visually scan down the list and see what I'd like to move over to the iPod (after making space on the iPod by deleting songs I'm tired of)
How can I do this and what version of iTunes is needed.
thanks -- Dan

The .xml file is basically just a playlist of your entire Library. You can create one by going to your main Library List view and click File > Export.. - then just save a new .xml file to the desktop (or wherever).

Manualy renaming tracks in itunes not working properly?

this being my 5th or 6th ipod since ive started collecting them several years ago, i shouldnt even have this question
i manually manage all of my songs/play lists through itunes to begin with
when i rename the artist, album or genre i have no problems,
but when i try and rename the NAME of the track is almost seems that itunes clicks me out of the window making it almost impossible for me to rename a song.
i just updated to itunes 7.4.3, which i thought would solve the problem, and also restored my ipod once, which also has the most upto date software on it.
i just had a 5generation 80 gig ipod about a month ago which i sold to buy the new thinner classic... i had NO problems ever with that one... but this new classic ipod made me install a new version of itunes which has done NOTHING BUT GIVE ME PROBLEMS.
anyone have the same problem?

Yes! I've noticed the same thing in the most recent release or two of iTunes. Occasionally I like to change the track name from the main iTunes screen by using the <F2> key to go into "text edit" mode while the track is selected. This always worked fine before. But now, if I try to use the arrow keys or the delete key to move through or edit the selected text (track title), it seems to "save" the change (or not?) and immediately kick me out of "edit mode".
There's something funny going on. Sure wish it would go back to the way it was before. Editing track names from the main screen is no longer really viable.

How to find original tracks in iTunes to delete

I use a MicroMemo with iTunes and 80GB G5 iPod. Once recorded, I convert recordings to AAC then delete the originals which are about 700MB in size each. Lately I accidentally clicked the "Keep files in iTunes Folder" option when deleting them from the iTunes Library instead of sending them "to Trash" to totally get rid of them. Now I want to find those tracks and put them into Trash once and for all. How can I find them?

Open your iTunes Music Folder in the Finder and type the file extension you are looking for into the search box (like .mp3). It will list all of the files that fit that criteria. If you need more refined search capability, click on the little "+" next to the "Save" button and choose from the list of criteria. The Other... option will allow you to choose just about any metadata criteria, but it may take a while to load.
Once done, you can save the search so you can use it again, if needed.

Renaming Tracks Freezes iTunes for Two Minutes

I am not sure if this is an iTunes 8, Windows XP (I suspect so), or an iPhone 2.2 software issue.
When renaming audio tracks in a playlist on iPhone 3G, for instance by adding a zero in order to
correct a sequence of tracks in a playlist
iTunes freezes for about two minutes.
I assume this is the time it is taking to sync the change, although, there is no other indicator
that there is a syncing process going on.
This may also be a similar symptom to: iTunes 8x (Windows XP) seems to take an inordinate
amount of time to recognize the iPhone after plugging into the USB2 port.
Thanks for any advice

If you copy these two files over to her account, they will be exactly the same.

How do I delete tracks in iTunes 11.0?

I used to be able to delete tracks in previous versions of iTunes.
iTunes 11.0 does not permit me to delete tracks either via keyboard interaction or via right-click menu.
I can navigate to the tracks that I want to remove and delete the source files, but then the track details remain in the playlists.

How are you trying to delete? Highlight the song in the library and press the delete key, that works for me. Alternatively right click on the song (ctrl - click if using a single button mouse) and choose Delete from the menu. To delete a song from a playlist hold down the option (⌥ ) key and press delete.

How to manually name tracks on itunes

How can I manually name tracks that I save on itunes? My iTunes insists on finding my CD's tracks online. But this is a custom CD, with home recorded original music tracks. Gracenotes is never going to find them. In the meantime, "Track01" is not at all helpful.

That is so freaking simple. I right clicked and dismissed the get info selection. Apple! You are freakin' non-standard. ****.

Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.” Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
