Can't copy my albums to Itunes library

Need some help. I have original 70's albums that I am just burning to CD. My standalone burner only uses Digital Audio CD-R (Sony brand in this case). When I try to import them to the Itunes library they won't inport. Some sort of copy protection on the CD-R iteself or something. I just want to put them on my Itouch!! The CD itself plays fine on a regular CD player but not on my computer nor into Itunes. Help!!!

I burnt them to an Audio CD by Sony and am trying to import them to itunes.
So you burned them on a different computer?
They have some sort of copy protetion on them
Not unless you have a specialized burner and specialized software to create this copy protection.
Sounds like your computer simply doesn't like this type of CD-R (a very common issue).

If you share the same Apple ID, it shouldn't be a problem. You can sync from your computer or download from Purchased.

Can i delete an album from itunes library and have it remain in my account

Can I delete albums from my library and have them remain in my account?

Hi northcoast211,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have an album in your iTunes library that you would like to delete but you are curious if it would remain on your account. If the album was purchased from iTunes, as long as the content is still available in the iTunes Store, you can re-download that content at no cost. Please use the attached article for more information.

Have a great day,

Can I copy my Mac OSX iTunes library onto my Bootcamp WinXP iTunes library?

Hey all,
I have an iMac with latest OSX. I do my business work during the day with WinXP in the same computer, Bootcamp mode.
My question is, can I transfer (copy) my iTunes library onto my Windows side? It is authorized.
If so, how would I do this? Would I create backups to CD(s) and then install them into Windows? Or would Windows not be able to read the discs, even if using iTunes?
This would mean that I would then have the same (same) library on both sides of my iMac HD.

How can I copy songs in my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro to a new MacBook?

I bought a Macbook Pro 13-inch a few weeks ago.
Version: Mac OS X 10.7.1
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel core i7
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I go to school now, but anyways, the school gave me a MacBook to study, play, and listen to music with, but I do not know how to copy songs from my MacBook Pro to my MacBook.
Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I looked around and tried all these different things, but no luck at all. When I connect the Macbook Pro and Macbook with an Ethernet Cable, it says Error Code (-3150). So does this mean I have to purchase EVERY SINGLE SONG AGAIN?!?!? If that is so, I will not do it, could anyone please help me? Thanks!!!

No, you should not have to purchase everything again. The whole point of what Apple is doing now with iTunes Match and iCloud is "purchase only once, use on all your devices."
As far as moving between machines, I have often done what sig described there, across my network instead of with a flash drive. Just copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the exact same location on the second computer. I have even copied between iTunes folders on a PC and Mac.
The Error Code (-3150) is something probably completely unrelated to iTunes, like a network error. You must troubleshoot that separately. Instead of panicking, when you get an error you should Google it. I found this note:
http://www.pc-library.com/errors/error-code/3150-0xC4E/
It sounds like the error code is related to a problem with your network. Are you running any Internet filtering software like ad blockers or virus protection? I have seen those screw up iTunes access to the iTunes store before.

Noob alert: can i combine two albums in itunes library?

haven't been able to figure out on my own if this is possible...
basically, i imported an album, which was split by itunes into 4 separate albums (each containing a few songs from the album).
can i somehow combine this all into just one album (since that is what it is anyway)?
sorry if this is posted here, i looked thru several pages and didn't see this question.
thanks!

Copying wmv file into itunes library

Look at it in Windows explorer - does it say it is WMA protected? If so, iTunes can't play it.

Do the tracks show up in the Recently Added playlist? If so then something has gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem. (Probably adding anything would do.)
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

I bought a MAC for the first time and plugged my Itouch into it to download my music on it, but is says The iPod "Rick's IPOD" is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What should I do?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

I can't copy/paste text in itunes?

I use Windows 7, and the latest itunes. I dont have any addons or anything either.
So, for some reason I can't use the copy/paste function in itunes. I listen to foreign music and when I want to copy the names of songs or artists and paste them into the little boxes in itunes, I can't. It just comes up as a plain, empty box with no text. I can't copy from chrome to itunes, or from itunes text to other itunes text boxes (artist, album, search, etc). This started yesterday and I thought uninstalling itunes and reinstalling would work, but it hasn't changed a thing!
Thanks to anybody that can help

You actually have a few choices, simplest is to format the drive as MSDOS (FAT), both Windows & your Mac will be able to read and write. You will be limited to a 4G maximum for individual files however. Formatting as ExFat removes the size limitation but is less compatible with Windows (XP installs may need updating)
You can also install software on your Mac to allow it to read/write to an NTFS drive (which is what yours is now), I recommend Tuxera.

Can I no longer backup my Itunes library to a dvdr since I have Itunes 10.5? If not can I somehow revert back to a previous version of Itunes to do this?

Can I no longer backup my Itunes library to a dvd+r? If not, is there a way to revert back to a previous version of Itunes like 10.3?

Will this work?
Yes, but it can't be done from within iTunes. Choose to consolidate it from the Library section of the File menu, and then move the iTunes folder to the drive.
I could try to backup to CD-R, but one of my albums is 708.6 MB big, which is too big to fit on one CD-R.
That will work. Unless a single song or video is too large to fit on a CD, iTunes can back it up to a CD.

I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

Yes Deborah,
Actually it's as smiple as plugging in the iPod and registering it, this will be done by a step by step dialog box when you first plug it in. After that it will show up in your device list on the left side. Just drag the song from the music library in iTunes to the iPod device that is his. You can drag single songs, complete albums or even complete genres. If it is a iTouch you get him, you can also click the music tab on the iTouch device in iTunes when you plug it in and you can just check off artist names or just certain albums. Also on a iTouch on the summary screen you can click the sync with iTouch over Wi-Fi check box and you will no longer have to plug it to the computer to sync. Also, since they are two different devices the music on one will not affect the music on another. This goes for any iOS device, iPods, iTouches, iPhones, and iPads.
Hope that helps.
