I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

On Itunes for Windows 7, when I click the check mark box, the song is quickly deleted and sent to the recycle box. How do I go back to when I click on the check mark box, the checkmark is either turned on or off?

Thanks for replying, but I tried that earlier and had that did not work. After your reply I did it again, shutdown itunes and rebooted system. I thought since it didn't do that earlier that might work but same results it deleted file from Itunes but no second questions to move to recycle bin.

My iPad keeps showing a message that I have run out of storage space. I purchased more iCloud space in settings, but this message is still showing. It also won't sync when I plug in to my computer...??

My iPad keeps showing a message that I have run out of storage space. I have purchased more iCloud space in settings, but I am still getting this message. I also am not able to sync my iPad in iTunes when plugging in to my computer.

The storage space is the iPad storage space, not iCloud storage space. What size Ipad do you have?

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

How to use the check mark symbol in my library, how to use the check mark symbol in my library

at times when I am moving around in my iTunes library, on windows 7 64 bit computer, i alter the check marks that are in the library. I don't know exactly how I turn them off . ow can I deliberately turn them on & off en-mass? Is there a tutorial that would give me as much info as possible in utilising them? Thanks in advance Robert

Ctrl-click on an empty box to check them all or vice-versa. If you don't have a use for them turn them off (Edit > Preferences > General > Show list checkboxes). I use them to make iTunes exclude stuff like bonus interview tracks from my devices and normal album playback.

I downloaded the Special Edition of 'Avatar' with the included 'Extras'... I use to see them in my iTunes library, but, can no longer locate them anywhere on my computer or in the iTunes library files! What happened?

I purchased 'Avatar' The Special Edition with the included Extras with a gift card. I had enough money in my account to cover this purchase. I only got to watch the 'Extras' for one or two times, and now, they have vanished! They no longer appear in my iTunes library or anywhere on my computer! Where are they and how do I regain access? The movie, itself, is still in the library...only the downloaded 'Extras' are gone!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Missing tracks
Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.

Any help is appreciated.

When I delete songs from iTunes, iTunes often asks me whether to keep or trash the file, but often it does not.
First, I do not really know why it does not always ask me what to do with the file itself. Any idea?
iTunes will ask you if you want to keep or trash files when
(a) you have +keep iTunes media folder organized+ enabled in preferences > advanced
(b) the files are in your iTunes music (or media) folder in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes
Second, since iTunes does not always ask what to do with the file, my iTunes library is currently filled with ghost files of songs that I have deleted from iTunes. Any idea how I could locate and delete these files?
try this:
_*Music Folder Files Not Added v1.1*_
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

My iPod touch is saying it is connected to the internet at the top of the touch but does not show the check mark in the settings saying the wifi is connected...

Any idea why this is occuring?

If Safari and other inter apps do not work then:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Apple TV can see iTunes library but can't load content (intermittently)

I have intermittently been experiencing an issue where the Apple TV shows my iTunes library, but when I select it, no artwork appears for any of the categories (Music, Movies, etc.) If I select a category, it says it is loading, but never does. It shows the loading page for an extended period of time.
Connectivity otherwise seems fine. My iPhone/iPad remote apps still find the Apple TV, although they can not select my iMac library separately to play content through the Apple TV the way they should be able to, even though they see the library. My iMac and Apple TV are both connected by ethernet. I use an AirPort Extreme as the router, but the Apple TV has a wired connection through that router. My network/router situation has been pretty solid. I had (different) issues with my 1st gen Apple TV and as part of the troubleshooting for that totally reworked our setup and gave the computer and Apple TV both a wired connection. It didn't help that problem and I don't think it's related here.
I tried closing and re-opening iTunes, turning on and off home sharing including not pressing "done" as people here have suggested for other issues, and rebooting the computer. I tried with a MacBook Pro also, and I have the same isue. When this happens, it affects the iTunes libraries on both computers. Finally I reset the router and rebooted the Apple TV itself. It then started working again. I'm not sure which of those helped since I did them at the same time.
Once when this happened to my husband, he just gave up, and several hours later (presumably after the Apple TV and iMac had both gone to sleep and woken up), it worked again without rebooting or resetting anything.

Hi All,
Same issue here. Just upgraded (?) from the previous version of Apple TV, to the new Apple TV2. Like others here, my main problems seem to be with unreliable streaming from iTunes 10 on my PowerMac (Quad G5, Leopard OSX).
My original AppleTV had no issues w/the wireless network, or synching w/my PowerMac.
The network connection from the ATV2 are fine, and have no issues accessing the Apple Store (for movies, TV shows), or accessing Netflix. The access to the internet from my ATV2 is quite robust.
My problems are with keeping a constant, reliable wireless connection to my PowerMac, via an Airport Extreme wireless router.
I have tried multiple restarts, reboots, reset ATV2 to original settings, tried different wireless channels on the Airport Extreme, verified I have Home Sharing properly enabled in iTunes,etc, but no luck so far.
What I'm seeing is when I access my iTunes on my computer, I can see my library, and then if I start to "shuffle songs" I may get 1 to 3 songs to play fine, but then the music stops, and I can no longer access the music/movies/etc in iTunes any longer. When I then go to my PowerMac, it has lost most bars of signal strength on the wireless network (although all other devices show strong signal strength), and I have to Turn AirPort Off, then Turn AirPort On and I then am reconnected to the wireless network with good signal.
I then go back to the ATV2, connect to my iTunes, start my music, and then 1-2 songs later it again stops playing, and I go through this all over again.
It seems as though there is something on the wireless network between the ATV2 and my PowerMac that causes it to lose connection, and I have to manually start again. The problem is that the connection is not robust, and only lasts a few minutes.
Hope this gets solved soon.
Regards
Tom

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

TS1420 I updated my ipod to 5.1.1 and now it wont sync downloaded music onto my ipod. All the music I purchased through itunes went on the ipod during backup restore and my downloaded music went into my itunes library but won't sync onto my ipod.

I updated my ipod touch to 5.1.1 and did a system restore. All of my purchased music from itunes went back on along with photos and apps but now it won't let me sync music that I downloaded. All of my music that was imported from cd's synced but not my downloaded music from internet. They went into my itunes library but they are a light gray and have a little sync symbol next to them. I've tried dragging them into different folders but nothing is working. I read that others were having problems with this update but didn't get any answers.

After you have updated your device to version 5.1.1, have you tried resyncing everything from your iTunes yet?

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?
