Check marks all reset in iTunes 10

I have a lot more music in my library than would fit onto my iPod, and so have spent many, many hours checking and unchecking songs in my iTunes library so that only the checked songs synchronise with my iPod.
Yet now that I have upgraded to iTunes 10 this information has all been reset, and every song is now checked again.
It is so frustrating to have to do all of this again when it was set up perfectly before, why can't Apple just leave our settings alone?
Is there any way to get this information back or will I have to go through this whole process again? Or is there an easier way to choose which music gets synced to the iPod?
Thanks

I wonder why it unchecked things on your PC? It left mine all alone - I have Christmas music unchecked most of the year.
try this quick test. Go into your folder named *Previous iTunes Libraries*. Find the one that has the most recent dat from when you upgraded to itunes 10. It will be named something like
iTunes Library 2010-09-21.itl
Which would mean you upgrade to v10 on Sept 21, 2010.
Close itunes
Copy & paste that ITL file to your desktop.
Press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes again. Keep pressing until you see the prompt to choose a library. Choose the one you just copied to your desktop. Are the checkmarks there?
There are some other steps to do if this works, but first make sure that old library database has the check marks.

Can't sync all checked marked songs.

I just added my device to my wife's account. I checked marked all the songs I wanted to sync to the new device. itunes only let me sync maybe 40 out of the 90 songs I check marked. When the synching is complete is says "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." All the songs were purchased through itunes. Is there any way around this?

Hey there,
Have you authorized your computer? If not, head to "Store" and then click "Authorize." If it already is, try simply de-authorizing it and then re-authorizing it to see if that helps.

I am trying to backup my Itunes onto my external hard drive. I am at the step where I on Itunes, click on File - Library - Organize library. I am suppose to check mark both boxes there, It won't allow me to check mark the second box, why? How to fix this.

I am trying to backup my Itunes onto my external hard drive. I am at the step where I on Itunes, click on File ->Library ->Organize library. I am suppose to check mark both boxes there, the first being "Consolidate Files" & the second being "Reorganize files in the folder 'Itunes Media'. I am able to checkmark the first box but It won't allow me to check mark the second box, why? How can i fix this? Please help!

Well you must have made a mistake somewhere. The last instruction of step four reads:
When you've found your iTunes library folder, drag that folder to your external hard drive. This will begin the iTunes backup. The amount of time the backup will take depends on the size of your library. When the transfer is done, your backup is complete and your external hard drive can be disconnected.
Normally dragging content from to a new location on a different drive will result in a copy action which is what you were supposed to do. At a guess you somehow managed to move the iTunes folder. Then when you started iTunes it created a new blank library for you assuming it had just been installed rather that raising a warning.
Close iTunes. Rename the iTunes folder on the internal drive as iTunes (Empty) then copy the iTunes folder from the external back into the User's Music folder. Start iTunes. All should be well.
When you've made sure it all works please read my User Tip and use that method to backup in future. Since you already have a folder with the backup in place you can skip the "Make New" operation in the fourth step and simply choose the external folder.

How do I put a check mark to all the songs in the library/

somehow this morning after deleting voice memos from the iTunes library i noticed that all my songs became de-checked. Which means they won't play until i put a check mark in the check mark column. How do I check them all ?

Thanks so much Meg I have almost 19,000 songs in my library and i'd be lost without being able to hear them.

All my photos get check-marks

Ever since I upgraded to 5.0.4 earlier tonight, all the photos I import into iPhoto have check-marks on them. I can get rid of them by dragging them to the keyword box, but it's very annoying.
I don't want the check-marks, and can't figure out why they are appearing.
I have scrolled through preferences and menu items, and can't figure this out.
Any suggestions for ridding myself of this annoyance?

First, select all of your photos with check marks and drag to the reset keyword tab. Then close iPhoto and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. It will be in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iPhoto and try a new import.

ITunes 10.4.1.10 and missing check marks

I recently downloaded itunes 10.4.1.10-now all the check marks next to each song have been deleted. What does this mean and what will the effect be?

Sorry for this late answer. I had not to time hanging around on the pc. Thank you for your help.
I solved the problem, lucky!
After deinstalling all Apple Software (except safari) I started the PC again and installed Itunes another time.
It worked, so I am happy, still not knowing what was the problem.
The best thing is, that my mediathek is still running (I hoped so, it was put on another harddrive.)
Updates should not stress that way...
Thanks again for supporting,

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

My form has a list of yes or no questions. I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons. Unfortunatly I can't make it work. When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions. If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later. Need immediate help!!!

Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
For example, if you had:
     Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Since 3.6.25 installed I have check marks next to all comcast emails that don't appear in IE.

3.6.25 was just installed today. When I opened up my Comcast email account (webmail) in Firefox, every email had a check mark in front of it. When I open the account in IE8 there are no check marks. And I don't seem to be able to sign out when in Firefox.

Hi donthee-
First of all, you are using a really old outdated version of Firefox. You are on version 3.6 and the current version is 10. I would highly recommend upgrading to the latest version here:

HT3819 Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. chI have checked all IDs, rebooted iTunes, AppleTV, and my router, eck port settings in my firewall. Nothing works. Is it me or did this update screw things up?

Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
Tweety
This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

HT201209 I had to reset my ITune ID but now I lost all my info on gift card. I no longer have the gift card so how can I redeem it to continue to make purchase?

How do redeem my gift card code after I reset my ITune password? It shows no gift card listed and I no longer have that gift card but still have a balance on it.

With iOS 7 you will have to provide the password for the old ID in order to delete the existing account from your iPad. If you can't do this, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.
As far as your missing contacts, when you get the password for the old ID reset, sign in with the ID and your new password at icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are there. If they are, export them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606. You can then import this vCard to your new account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

I'm facing a lot of problem to get connected to 3G speed on my iPhone4 . And also I hardly get 2g speed . I'm done with all the checks as network reset , clearin cache n cookies even . Thus request to clear this heck of a issue

Facing a lot of problem in connecting to 3G speed on my iphone4 . Done with all the checks as network reset and also done with clearing cache n cookies still the problem is same . I hardly get 2g speed even . Thus I request to help to fix this problem.

Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
erroneously assign a wrong variable!
