So what is stopping you?
Do you have manually manage video and music set up?

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!

    I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive.  Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!  I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs.  Hope someone can help.  Thanks!

    I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
    I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>.  It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

  • How to I copy my iTunes library onto an SD card in the same format such as artists, albums playlists etc on a Mac?

    HHi,
    i am trying to copy my iTunes library onto an SD card so that I can put it in my Audi A4 with the MMI. Is there any way of doing the transfer on iTunes but keeping the structure of iTunes, such as with albums, artists, playlists etc?
    THanks in advane
    Tom

    Files are not copied to drives in a particular order. How they appear on a card depends upon how you have your computer set to display them. If I view a card with files and I have clicked the column header for "file modified date" then it will display in that order. The only time the copying of the files across to a flash drive will influence how your music appears in your player is if the player uses the file names to display the file order, with possibly some extra structure added using folders.  If it reads the data inside the files then it will display them pretty much as iTunes would use them and how exactly they are displayed will depend upon how the player actually works.  The other way (as I have already said) is if the player uses a special file to tell it how it should order the files on the display. When I last rented a new car it simple read the data inside the files as iTunes does and if a humble Ford Focus can do that then I suspect that is how Audi does it.  If it is not doing this then maybe your files do not contain the data, or your simply have not read the special manual for the MMI that I see on Audi's website it provides to its owners and discovered how to set the view order.
    Since nobody has seen to it I have been bestowed with an Audi you may have to wait for another Audi owner to answer this, or perhaps do some investigating yourself.  If you type "Audi MMI A4" into a web search it will lead you to a bunch of videos on Audi's web site on how to use the MMI. My computer is old and my connection speed is slow so I absolutely hate instructional videos online and I will let you plow through them to see if any provide the information you need.
    My understanding from Phil0124 statement is it is simply telling you to copy all the files in the Media folder to the card.
    When I cut and paste the iTunes library onto my SD card, it put all of songs in a strange order. It had all of some number 1 from all the albums, then song 2, etc. It didn't keep them in album / artist setup. For some reason it won't copy over in the same structure.
    Is this how you are seeing it when viewed on your computer, or is this how you are seeing it in the MMI?  If that is how you are seeing it on the computer, forget it, or do as Phil01234 says and drag across folders from the main Media folder in the iTunes folder.
    By the way, on a Mac to copy files from one drive to another you simply drag them, no copy and paste.

  • I want to move my itunes library but keep it in iCloud

    i want to move my itunes library to a externial drive but keep it on icloud (actualy i thnk its called somethong eltse but it keeps my devises synced and acesible) how do i do this

    The OP does not state laptop/portable. I took a WAG thinking it was desktop. (still don't know).
    Your way will at least show the library if the external is not attached. However, everything ends up with the dreaded ! .
    Then the problem comes when the  external is reattached, especially if there were files added without it attached.
    Moving the media folder to a different location should not interfere with your syncing, as long as you point iTunes again to the new location of the library.
    Underlined statement is the issue.
    The iTunes media folder is not the iTunes library. Pointing iTunes prefs - Advanced to this location again may or may not fix it. Usually not.
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all media, wherever it is located. You can have items in iTunes that are not in the iTunes media folder.
    iTunes media folder = items added to iTunes with Copy files to iTunes media folder when organized is ticked and also all purchased items (unless you moved them elsewhere). If you consolidate the library, everything will get copied to the iTunes media folder
    It can get very complicated which is why I simply recommend to move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder.

  • HT1751 How to get a complete copy of Itunes Library onto external hd?

    The situation is that I am going to completely reboot my Macbook Air, but before doing so I am going to back up everything, and back up my iTunes library seperately. So my question(s) is, how do I copy everything in the Library (playlists, apps, movies, etc) onto my hard drive? Is it as simple as exporting my library, or is there something else I need to do.
    I am also aware that once I back up my library I will have to deactivate my account and reactivate it upon the new boot.
    thank you for any help.
    -Mike

    Copy the entire iTunes folder to the external drive.
    If you have content that isn't stored in the iTunes Media folder consolidate the library first.
    If your iTunes Media folder isn't directly inside the main iTunes folder see Make a split library portable.

  • Copying old iTunes library onto a new hard drive: special question:

    How do i do this when the music in my old iTunes library was not all in the itunes media folder (some was in downloads, shared folder, etc). Should I put these folders in the places where they were on my old hard drive (for example the "shared" folder was on the desktop) or should i just put everything into the iTunes media folder. My main goal here is to recreate my old itunes library with the playlists intact while also having all the songs recognized (none of those exclamation points because it cant locate the file). Sorry to repeat myself but I just want to make it clear because i dont want this to mess up. Should i put all my music into the itunes media folder for it to show up in the old library, or should I keep it in the folders it always was in and just place those folders in the same locations on this hard drive? Thanks for any help

    The solution you linked to looks good, but I'm a bit
    confused about if it'll work for my situation - I'll
    be putting Vista on a new drive (completely clean
    install, not an upgrade), which means that iTunes
    will be cleanly installed as well. The way I'm
    reading it, it seems the solution there needs an
    iTunes install that already interacts with the old
    library.
    Right, and the way you do this is to hold down the shift key while starting iTunes. (Note: this does not mean holding down the shift key while you click on the icon. It means holding it down immediately after that while the program is starting up.) This will bring up a dialog asking what iTunes library you want to use. Point to the old library, and you're in business.
    Let me know if this will work: I drag and drop my
    whole music folder to the new drive, then in iTunes I
    go to File --> Import and import the itl or xml file.
    I've heard this might not work because the xml file
    has pathways that refer to a specific drive letter
    which will be different.
    That's correct. You can edit the XML to fix the pathnames, but I wouldn't recommend that unless editing XML is something you do regularly.

  • I want to copy my itunes library to sd card on windows 7, any ideas?

    I recently bought a new panasonic tv with an sd card slot which will allow me to play my library through the tv. My only problem is trying to transfer my library onto my sd card. I am using windows 7, can anyone tell me if it is possible?

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

  • I have 1 itunes library with an iphone and ipod linked to it.  My daughter bought a ipod touch.  Can we download music from my library into her library.  We want to keep them separate due to I do not want all her games in my phone

    I have 1 itunes library with a phone and ipod linked to it.  My daughter just got a touch.  She would like to have some of my music downloaded into her touch.  How can I do that without having her linked to my library?

    Sync all the devices to the same computer.
    If you do not want her apps, then simply do not select them to sync to your device.
    Each device will only sync what you select to sync.
    lllass gave you a great link for several options.

  • How Do I put the music in my iTunes library onto my iPhone music library

    Just bought a new iphone. I want to put music on it. My iTunes library is full of music, how do i move it to my phone?

    You can make a playlist in iTunes to and fill it with the music you want on your phone. Then when you sync your phone you can select the playlist to sync. Creating a playlist will allow you to choose the songs you want.
    Create a playlist by selecting
    1. File

    4. Name the Playlist
    Adding Music to the Playlist
    1. Select song
