I have CDs, legally purchased and uploaded to iTunes (v9.1.0.79)...they were on a harddrive and now I tried to play on my new computer (iTunes v11.0.2.26), but whilst the files appear intact they skip through each song in seconds...why?  and how to fix?

I have CDs, legally purchased and uploaded to iTunes (v9.1.0.79)...they were on a harddrive and now I tried to play on my new computer (iTunes v11.0.2.26), but whilst the files appear intact they skip through each song in seconds...why?  and how to fix?

I don't recognise the symptoms as such, but here are a couple of things to try.
Check all tracks
Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal track to track playback. Go to the Songs view and CTRL-click on an empty checkbox, or CTRL-click on a filled one twice. This will ensure all tracks are checked.
Repair permissions
To make sure that your iTunes folder (or media folder if located separately) has the correct permissions, right-click on the folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but later versions of Windows shouldn't be too different.
You can also clear the Read-Only flag for the entire library from the Properties dialog.

    Nothing much. Different formats.
    How to fix?
    Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
    Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

  • I moved by iTunes files to an external drive because I was changing computers. I then moved the files to the new computer. My iPod is not linking with the files on the computer.  What can I do?

    I moved my iTunes files from my old computer to an external hard drive.  I then moved those files to the new computer. My computer and iPad are not linking up (recognizing each other?).  I installed the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer to see if that would help.  It did not--I got the message that an iPad can only be linked up with one computer and the new download would not work with this iPod.  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPad.  What should I do to correct this?

    Sorry, I had a typo.  The last sentence should have read "iPod" (iPad):  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPod.  What should I do to correct this?

  • The words in iBooks are showing up jumbled, does anyone know why or how to fix it?

    I just had to restore my iPad 2 and when I went to read my books all of the words are not words, they are a jumbled mess. I tried deleting the books are reels loading them but it did not fix the problem. Any ideas?

    Thank you. I tried again, but then I decided to delete the iBooks app and reinstall it. That worked. Thank you for your advice.

  • Everytime i download 1 album it downloads but as each song as a seperate album how do i change this?

    not sure on where to go but everytime i download one album it goes to each song as a seperate album how do i solve this please

    Have a look at Turingtest2's full explanation in this thread
    You may have slight variations in the album name or artist name, make sure the album artist and the album are set to exactly the same text. You can set these texts by selecting the songs in the Library and opening the Information panel by pressing cmd-I.
    If your album has songs by several different artists, you might wish to set the "compilation flag", then the album will stay united even on iPod classics.

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • HT1751 After "Restoring iTunes Library Backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the correct procedure, and iTunes lists all my music correctly (but with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files. Using Windows 7. Help ple

    After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
    I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
    Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
    Using Windows 7.
    Any help please?

    From the top of the page where the scripts live...
    The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
    You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
    Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
    Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
    If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

    Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

  • HT4059 I used to be able to transfer PDFs from Dropbox to iBooks but now the file appears for about 1 second and then disappears - any ideas?

    Can anyone help? I want to transfer PDF files from Dropbox to iBooks but when I do, the file appears for about 1 second then disappears. I used to Beatle to do this with no problems, but now it doesn't work. Help!

    I had the same problem.  After numerous attemps to Restore from Itunes, I decided to use the "Setup as New Ipad" option. It went through a few question on new setups. Afterwards all my apps, data, photo's were still intact. Which shows that the Restore from Itunes worked. There must be a small bug that prevents the Ipad to open after "Restore from Itunes" .  Hope it will help you. 

  • I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

    Try this:
    From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:
    Double-click your hard disk icon. It is usually named "Macintosh HD":
    Look for this folder:
    If it appears in that window, drag it to the Trash.
