Cant delete corrupted music files off of iTunes?

I recently downloaded the Hoenn Pokemon Soundtrack, and along the process I got a couple of errors saying there was a connection issue when trying to download certain songs. When everything was done, I had certain songs with a little beside them that wouldn't play at all... I don't know how to get rid of them so I can reinstall them. Can anyone help me?

I have this same issue. I can't delete these music files that are half way downloaded, unfinished and aren't able to finish downloading anymore. How do I do it.

  • Recover lost deleted corrupted music files tracks from iTunes match icloud

    Just spent an hour on Apple's tech suypport line, all to figure out how to recover lost/deleted/corrupted music files/tracks from iCloud / iTunes Match.  Here's how to do it:
    ASSUMPTIONS:  You're in iTunes on your computer, logged into your iCloud account.
    Within iTunes, in the left-hand pane, select your Music library.  Alll your tracks should appear in the right-hand pane.   Those that are missing from your disk should be marked with an asterisk icon to the left of the track.    Do the following...
    ...select all the missing/lost/deleted tracks (using the option button), and hit the delete button.
    NOTE:  when the delete dialog box comes up, make sure you do ***NOT*** click the "Delete from iCloud" selection!!!
    ...once deleted, select all the same tracks again, then hit the right mouse button, then select "Download".
    All the tracks should start downloading, one by one, from iCloud.
    NOTE:  If I were you, I'd perform this operation on discrete chunks (no more than 500 at a time), just to be safe.
    Good luck!

    You can also recover the missing tracks from the backup you are keeping on an external HDD. You are backing up, aren't you?

  • HT4914 Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

    Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

    I actually deleted my backup :-) That's the problem. But thanks.
    I've managed to get some back but via a slightly different method.
    Because the files weren't there, when I deleted them from my library they actually disappeared from the list.... So I created a new library (backed up my original one) and then synched that with Match so that all the files appeared. I'm just going through the ones I'm missing clicking 'download' and then when they're all back on my hard drive I'll revert to the previous Library which will hopefully pick up all of the recovered files.
    Bingo!

  • HT1449 Now that i have my iTunes backed up on iCloud and iCloud Match running, can I delete the music files from my MacBook Pro?  It is running out of hard drive space.

    When I started this request in the Support section, I did not realize I was typing a subject into a header.  Sorry.
    My MacBook Pro is nearly full and I would like to rely on iCloud for my music with the hope of freeing up space by deleting the music files I have accumulated on this machine.  Can I just delete the files in the iTunes folder or is there some special procedure?
    Thanks in advance for your help on this.

  • Is there a way to access my iTunes Library, which is stored on a (PC) External Hard Drive, on a MacBook Air (through an Apricorn Universal Hard Drive Adapter), without transferring the music files off of the external hard drive?

    Is there a way to access my iTunes Library, which is stored on a (PC) External Hard Drive, on a MacBook Air (through an Apricorn Universal Hard Drive Adapter), without transferring the music files off of the external hard drive?
    In other words, because the MacBook Air only has 120 gbs of hard drive space & my old hard drive, from a Lenovo, has 500 gbs of hard drive space (and I have over 120 gbs of music), I’m looking to manage my iTunes music from the external hard drive permanently. Upon attempting to access the iTunes library held on the external hard drive the following message comes up: “The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file”.  Is there a way to get around this?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

    You will have to engage a split library which means you will have to start answering questions on this forum because you will need to learn a lot about how iTunes works in order not that have a big mess at the end of it all.  It also won't be easy when the time comes to relocate it all to different drives.
    You can go to advanced preferences and turn off organize media and copy to items to media folder when adding items to library.  Next read about how to selectively consolidate items to the external drive.

    "...selected the new tracks directly in iTunes, Control-clicked on the selection, and saw that now you can consolidate selected items." - http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090919000326840
    Remember that when you start iTunes without the external drive turned on iTunes will present you with a bunch of broken links.  If you have automatic downloads enabled with iCloud you may have to turn that off to prevent iTunes from repopulating your drive trying to deal with those "missing" tracks.
    If you add tracks in bunches to iTunes and want them to go to different media folders you will need to either add them by holding down the option key while dragging if the desired media folder is not the one set in preferences, or by changing the media folder in preferences.  Changing media folder preferences only applies to new files added, not old ones.
    Okay, I am going to stop typing because you might just reply to me, "Oh, okay, forget it," and I don't need the exercise.

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Media Transfer 1.41 deletes all music files

    When i updated media transfer to 1.41 this problem apeared:
    it first deletes all music files on the phone before it syncs them.
    If i sync one mp3 file it takes 1-2 hours for media sync to first delete all files ant then copy all files to the phone.
    (I have over 4gig of music on my memory card.)
    I did not have this problem with the 1.4 version.

    I have a few comments/bug reports (I have also submitted these through the app).
    BUGS:
    1. The app seems to force conversion of perfectly normal AAC files created in iTunes (.m4a). The files are converted to... AAC!!!
    There is no need for this conversion as the files play fine on the phone (N95)
    Both files created with iTunes standard ACC settings and with a custom VBR settings are converted.
    MP3 files are transferred without conversion.
    2. Bookmarked AAC files (.m4b) are not converted or transferred (they are ignored) - many podcasts use this format and they play fine in iTunes and QuickTime.
    (Edit - it seems iTunes and OS X treat these files as protected, even though they are not - also the N95 will not play the files if copied without conversion).
    FEATURE/ENHANCEMENT REQUESTS:
    1. User prefence for caching - I have a 4GB memory card and may not be interested in having everything on it cached on my computer. When using USB2 the connection should be fast enough for viewing/streaming from the phone.
    2. The viewing in the browser is a bit confusing - when e.g. the memory card is selected it shows a lot of different files from different folders (I have TOMTOM maps on the card so a lot of useless files are showing) It would be nice to either be able to select which files are shown, or just make the browser work normally, so it is only showing files in the current folder (selecting the memory card would show the root folder).
    3. Options for conversions (e.g. "Do not convert files with a bitrate below xxx kbps").
    I look forward to the next version - if the 2 bugs are fixed this is already a very solid app.
    Great to see real OS X support.Message Edited by peter321 on 09-Jun-200707:31 PM

    I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.
