Deleted from Library, not from media folder, How to delete from media fldr?

I attempted to delete a whole bunch of songs--iTunes asked:
"Do you want to delete the selected song, or keep it in the itunes media folder?"
I selected "keep file" by accident--so they are no longer in my library but still in my media folder.
How do I delete all files in my media folder that are not in my Library?
I have checked Doug's scripts and do not see a script for that.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: I found Doug's script for this. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=listnotadded

  • When I update itunes it deletes the library file, and when I restore that file from the previous libraries or my backup, itunes will run but tell me "the iTunes library file cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file" How do I fix this?

    Hi there Br0x,
    You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    Oh, PLEASE IGNORE the line:
    deleted everything under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\SYSTEM (folders 0000 to 0004)
    That was left there inadvertedly. Can't seem to find the edit button here...

  • Accidentally deleted /System/Library/Framework/GSS.framework folder

    Hi, I am a Programming student. While I was installing some Libraries, I accidentally deleted /System/Library/Frameworks/GSS.framework folder. It's in the trash folder and I can't reverse my actions without administrative authentication? Will I be able to install the missing Libraries off the installation disk?
    Thanks

    Boot into your Recovery Volume and re-install Lion. It will be an install "in place" and shouldn't touch any of your files but hopefully restore the missingg directory. Also, hopefully you will be able to authenticate there.

  • I lost my itunes media folder how can I export the photos from my ipad to another location

    I lost my itunes media folder and also my iPhoto files. I have the majority of the photos from iPhoto library on my iPad. How can I get them from my iPad to another location. Like exporting them to a folder on an external drive.Is this possible. I know I can move photos I've taken with the ipad to a new iphoto, but how can a get the old iphoto photos from my ipad to a new location? I'm basically starting over. Don't ask what happened. It was horrible.

    An external drive? Not sure that there is any way of doing that. There are a number of WiFi transfer apps that should let you transfer the photos back to the Mac itself. Look at some of these.

    This application allows you to transfer all iPad content back to your computer.

  • Deleting songs from library not deleting from hard drive

    I've read some other people with this problem, and haven't found a good answer.
    I had iTunes on my old XP computer, and when I would delete a song from my iTunes library it would give me the option to also send the actual file on my HD to the recycle bin. Since I get a new computer, Windows 7, installed iTunes and copied all my music over, this option does not appear. I'll right click a song, click 'delete', and it'll just remove it from the library. I'd like the option back to actually delete the song from my computer, as well. Any thoughts?

    Doesn't work, don't know why.
    I am having the same problem. I think someone in the family selected "Keep files," when I want them deleted. Tried twice resetting the warnings, but it just asks me am I sure I want to delete the file, not if I want to send it to the trash.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • ITunes 10.6.1 update does not show newly imported music in viewer but files are in iTunes media folder, how to correct?

    Updated to iTunes 10.6.1.7 today from 10.5 on a Win 7 SP1 64-bit machine and attempted to add new music to the library by both drag-n-drop and import files; this new music does not show up in the library viewer but has been added to the iTunes media folder. My iTunes 10.5 version was working properly prior to the update. Any recommendations to correct this issue? Thanks!

    Immediately after the install, Windows was rebooted. I also attempted multiple variations of closing and restarting iTunes and/or reboot Windows. iTunes was unresponsive to mp3 files being added. Since I was unable to see the added music files to the library, I did not try to add other files.
    Out of frustration, I let iTunes run over night and to my surprise the added music appeared in the library viewer the following morning.  I can now add new mp3 (and AAC also) music files to the library and it immediately appears in the viewer.  How or why it now works is a total mystery.

  • Can only add music with Autofill from Library (not working with playlists)

    I can only add music using the Autofill feature and it will only work when the main music library is selected. Autofill does not work when a playlist is selected and I can not add music directly by dragging songs from a library or playlist as described in the owner's manual.
    Is there something wrong with iTunes, the iPod or is this user error?

    Hi Steve,
    You're right it's the same for me.
    I don't know as you mentionned whether it is an user error or not but I've got 2 iPods now, one is 60 Go color display (60Go) and the other received yesterday is 2G iPod Shuffle (Clipod). I can't drag songs from 60Go nor to iTunes Library neither to Clipod Music. The autofill function works only from iTunes Library where I've got 5 songs only (new MacPro), somebody knows how to export 60Go music to iTunes Library ?
    Thanks,
    Peloche

    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”
    Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

  • After viewing & closing an image, can delete it, but not its containing folder.

    I’m going through a bunch of old files to see what I can git rid of.
    When I view and then close an image in Photoshop CS6 I can delete the image file, but not its containing folder, which stays locked, even after closing Photoshop.  Restarting and closing Photoshop again usually enables me to delete the folder — but not always.  Sometimes I have to close everything and log out and back in to be able to delete the folder.  (BTW, Acrobat and Illustrator also share this problem.)
    When you have, as I do, hundreds of files to go through, this becomes a real hassle.

    I suspect Photoshop, as a part of the file open operation, has set its current "default directory" to the folder in which you're working.  You could prove that by opening  a file in another folder and seeing if the prior folder is still unable to be deleted.
    Are you using Bridge in any part of this process?  Seems to be a better match for what you're doing.
    If you'd rather not use Bridge, have you considered using Windows Explorer and a viewer application instead of Photoshop to look through these images?  IrfanView or possibly even Windows Photo Viewer with a codec pack come to mind.

  • I want to get rid of my bootcamp partition but ='( i accidently deleted bootcamp assistant and now dont know how to delete partition any where i can re-dowload assistant plz helppppppp

    I know u need assitant to get rid of parititon but i dont have it so what do i do

    Personally I would use Pacifist from Chralessoft http://www.charlessoft.com/ to reinstall the BootCamp Assistant from your OSX Installation disc and afterwards running the latest Combo-Updater for your OSX.
    The best way is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
    After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable.
    Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
    1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
    2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
    3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
    4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
    5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
    6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
    7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
    That should delete your former Windows partition
    After that's done successfully
    8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
    9) Quit Disk Utility
    10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
    Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.
    A Disk Repair with Disk Utility is not doable for an OSX volume from which you have booted your Mac.
    Boot from the OSX Install DVD to repair your OSX on the harddisk.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Audio File Not Found Dialogue Box - How To Stop From Popping Up

    Hello:
    I had to delete useless audio tracks from Logic Pro 9. Naturally I get the pop up box that says certain track not found in it's location. Then the instruction as to how to locate it. then the the buttons: skip all skip search locate. Well as the tracks have been completely deleted, and the bin has all ! next to the tracks, is there any way to stop this dialogue box appearing, as in "do not show again," or am I a slave to clicking on skip all to get to the recording tracks? Thanks for any advice

    Hey Thanks, Seeren....nothing more than one big duh....but I didn't know....and clearing out the tracks still hasn't made my macbook pro run faster!
