Auto Add from pc to iTunes Library

I have my library folder set to the standard my documents/my music/itunes/itunes music.
When I add a song to the folder, it doesn't automatically get added to my library. I have to either choose add file and select it, or choose add folder and select the itunes music folder.
Is there a way to automatically add the song to your library when you put it in the standard iTunes Music folder? I have the path to this folder set correctly in my preferences.

No, it isn't. But isn't that a totally different topic? What I understand is that when you add a song to the library through 'add file' it will copy that file to the Music folder too, by that option. What I'm looking for is that it automatically gets added to the library, when putting a song in the folder.
Not intending to sound harsh in the least way! Thanks!

  • HT1386 how do I add a playlist from my desktop  iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th g

    Is it possible to add a playlist from my desktop iTunes library to my ipod touch 5th generation. I've tried dragging it but this won't work - it seems that I have to put the playlist in the box and then press autofill which then means the songs in the playlist now become part pf the library on my ipod touch and I have to make up the playlist again on my ipod touch!
    With the older ipods it was possible to drag a playlist directly onto them.
    Am I missing something?

    If you want to be able to just drag playlists or tracks to the iPod from iTunes, you need to turn on manual management in the Summary tab, and my guess is that this is off. Otherwise, set the playlist to sync in the Music tab.

  • Is it possible to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library?

    Hi,
    I am having trouble in setting up sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
    Config :
    Mac OS - Latest update 5/6/09
    iTunes - Latest update 5/6/09
    Apple TV - Latest update 5/6/09
    I am able to either sync OR Stream from my iTunes library but not sync AND stream from the same iTunes library
    Let's say i want to sync :
    Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
    Add Library (Not shared for Syncing)
    Enter passcode in iTunes and select the items to sync
    After sync is complete
    You can see photo, music & video in My Photos, My Music & My Videos.
    Let's say now my Apple TV is full
    So like to stream some other content
    Now
    Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
    Add SHARED Library
    Passcode is shown in apple TV but not able to Enter it in iTunes (click to set link is not there next to Apple TV item under devices)
    To get that you have to right click the apple tv from the devices and select don't sync.
    You will get a message saying that all content in apple TV will get deleted.
    If you say yes then only the passcode screen for streaming is presented.
    So i am not able to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
    Any idea?

    1. The checkbox for "show only synced content" should be unchecked
    yes
    2. No need to Add Shared Library
    correct
    3. After syncing is complete as per the steps said before, if i have to see a synced content i go to My Movies for streamed content i have to go to Shared Movies?
    no... both synced and streamed content show up all together. there is no way to tell what content is synced or streamed when looking at it on the appletv. it is seemless as in there is no difference in how it is presented.
    you also need to make sure you are using "custom sync" rather than "automatic sync", as you can't select the "show only synced content" box when using "automatic sync".

  • I cant add music videos to itunes library of itunes version 10.7

    I am using itunes version 10.7. I am unable to add music videos into Itunes library. The Movies section remains blank when i select a music video and add it to library.

    Why you open a new thread for questions which where answered already 100 times...and do nou use the search option???
    But quickly:
    1. The IPOD Video needs the right video format
    2. There a dozends of 3rd party SW solutions available to convert almost every format into the IPOD Video compatible format - some of them are freeware - use e.g. Google to find some.
    One could be here: http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/

  • Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    From what I can tell this is a bug.
    A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
    When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
    Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
    If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

  • How many apple tv devices can stream personal videos from a single iTunes library

    I'm doing some initial investigation on the matter and I've not been able to get a definitive answer to this question...
    Is there a limit to the number of Apple TVs that can stream videos from the same iTunes library, and if so, what is the limit?
    I'm not talking about content purchased over iTunes, I'm thinking exclusively homemade video content encoded in the appropriate video format for use with iTunes.

    disregarding the bandwidth limitations, is there a limit to the number of devices one could use for this? If I understand this correctly, the device limit only applies to iTunes content, and not so much a personal (non-iTunes store purchased content) library.

    How do I transfer songs from my daughters itunes library onto my ipod?  We both have itunes libraries on a single computer running Windows Vista

    Your question has probaby been answered already because it was posted a month ago but anyways what you do is you plug your phone into your computer. Next you want to open iTunes and click on File. Then you go down to "Transfer Purchases from *your name* iPhone". Then just wait for it to sync and you should be good.

  • Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

  • I want to add pictures to my itunes library so I can show them on itv?

    I want to add pictures to my itunes library so I can show them on itv?

    Following the thread in the discussions, I found this:
    - Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and uncheck "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder"
    - Exit iTunes
    - Restart iTunes
    - Click to play a file that is in its new location
    - Locate it, click OK
    - It should eventually if not right away go look for other files when you confirm to find other files
    - Recheck the boxes unchecked above.
    That solved the problem.

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

  • How to transfer ring tones from old PC itunes library to new PC itunes library

    I have upgraded my computer and am in the process of importing the music, apps, audiobooks, etc from my old computer & iTunes library to my new computer.  I am using the HomeShare feature to do the import and it has worked flawlessly for everything except ringtones.  When I access my ringtones in the old library, the "Import" button does NOT appear in the lower right hand corner like it does for music, apps, etc.  So, how then do I transfer my ringtone library from the old iTunes library to the new one???  Thanks for any and all help.

    Unfortunately iTunes won't let you just "Copy" and "Paste" out of the library.  However, you can drag and drop files from your library into a USB drive and then drag and drop them from the USB drive into the new library.
    This is not the best way to do it,
    As dieselvdub noted, just copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Then is is an exact duplicate of the old library (same ratings, artwork, playlists, date added, # plays, etc.), not just a new library with all content
