Deleting songs and scanning for broken links.

I've encountered a couple weird problems today. I've read through every area of the preferences, right-clicked everywhere I can think of in the iTunes window to see what pops up in those menus, and can't find the solutions to my problems.
1) It used to be that when I tried to delete a song from iTunes, it would ask if I wanted to delete it from the PC. It doesn't do this anymore, but I really wish it did. Is there a way for me to delete something from my iTunes library AND my PC with one action?
2) Since I could not delete songs through iTunes, I went straight to where my music files reside and deleted them that way. I know iTunes can scan the library for broken links and stuff -- it's done it before, though I don't know what triggered it. How can I make it scan my list for broken links and remove them? I deleted something like 300 songs -- that's a lot of links to delete individually.
I'm not computer illiterate. I've right-clicked everywhere, gone through all the menus and the preferences menu and still can't figure out how to get iTunes to do these basic functions. It's really frustrating because I know it's done them before. Please help.

open itunes, right click on the song you want to delete, click clear.. and why are we not allowed to give you a link. This is FREE help, and any link could have told you told you that.

  • Search for broken links to images

    Is there an efficient way to search for broken links to
    images?

    Hi there
    I'm not sure if you are meaning to ask about links inside
    topics that point to images that you are popping up or linking to
    outright or if instead, you mean that some of the images that are
    supposed to be displayed inside topics are maybe missing and you
    wish to know about them.
    One easy way to spot a missing image reference is by using
    the Project Manager. Not sure if you are using RoboHelp 7, 8 or
    older here, but if on 7 or 8 look in the Project Manager pod.
    Otherwise it will be found on the left panel of the application.
    Expand the Images pseudo folder and quickly scan the list of images
    and expand sub folders inside. Any missing image should be listed
    with a red x to indicate the status. You may then examine the image
    properties to see which topic(s) is/are still referencing it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to check for broken links on my remote site?

    How can I check for broken links on my _remote_ site using DW10 (i.e. DWCS4)?
    I know of the Link Checker tab so as to check the local site.
    I've been using the app Integrity to do this, but it would be convenient to be able to also do this in DW.
    Running OS X 10.8.2.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Over the years I've had both happen.
    I'm not saying this happens often... it doesn't... but it does happen.
    And this is with my site links working fine locally.
    So it is either happening on upload or on the servers.
    I can't tell you the number of times I've asked webhosts (I've had many) why a site is not working at all... and they have told me that they are either doing work on their servers or that they're 'upgrading' and moving my sites to another server. So perhaps this is part of the problem.
    Again... rarely happens but it does happen.

  • How to remove bullets and spacing for url links in the Related Links iview?

    I tried to look for a property that I can edit the look-n-feel of the url links in the Related Link iView using "Theme Editor".
    All I need is to remove the bullets and increase some vertical spacing between the links.
    Currently, it looks like this:
    URL iView A
    URL Iview B
    I go through the whole section of Related Links properties, none of them seems to do what I want.
    Here are the list of properties in Related Link section (of Navigation Panel):
    Link Color
    Text Decoration of Link
    Hover Color
    Text Decoration of Hovered Link
    Initially, I thought "Text Decoration of Link" should be the right property I should look at. But there are a drop-down with 5 options: None, Underline, Blinking, Overline and Line-Through, which really can't achieve what I want.
    Thanks for advice.

    Hi, Kai.
    I checked the Related iView properties (URL Template), I don't see what layoutset it is really using. I am not sure, is that a layout set apply to the Related Link Iview?
    For the regular KM iView, I will see what Layout Set I want to apply, then I can go and change the properties (of layout coontroller, collection renderer & resource renderer)you mentioned. But for this Related Link iView, I really don't know. I guess it may be in the code itself.
    If there is a layout set for Related Link iView (or the place to apply layout set to it), can you point to me which one is that? (I did a search through the layout set names, I only find the AppQuicklinkExplorer (I used this for Dynamic Nav. Link iView before), if I can aply this layout set to Related Link iView, my problem will be solved.)
    Thanks for help.

    Our daughter figured out on her own how to delete songs and apps from her IPAD2. Drives us crazy since we continually have to reload these files. Her parents would like to know
    1. how she did it (delete files) and
    2. how to prevent her from deleting files in the future.

  • HT1933 When I updated my Iphone 4 with itunes. It deleted songs and changed my ringtones. How do I replace my lost songs and stop this from happening again. Thanks :)

    When I updated my iphone 4 with itunes. it deleted songs and changed my ringtones. How do I stop this from happening in the future and get my songs replaced?

    You have POP mail account.   That's how those types of email accounts work.
    You want an IMAP type of account, where if you delete on phone, it will also delete on server.   Should you ever restore your device again it will only update the mail that hasn't been deleted.
    You didn't say which email service you use, but try contacting them to see if they offer IMAP.  Or you can switch.

  • How can I delete songs and playlis

    Hi hi!I've got a zen v plus. I was wondering how to delete songs and playlists that I just don't listen to! Thanks!?

    You can delete a track, a whole album, a whole artist or a playlist by navigating to that item and then press and hold down the back/return button which will give you a menu of options. Scroll down to delete and press the joystick button to delete that particular item. You can also do this on your PC using the Creative Media Software.

  • Using Reference Mode and checking for broken alias links

    I use iPhoto 09 in reference mode (where it doesn't import the pictures into the library). I'm aware of the pitfalls of doing this but, long story-short, it's better for my needs this way. I just wanted to know if there's a way to tell iPhoto to check for missing photos or broken alias links. It seems to just pop-up randomly some time after moving or deleting anything and I'd rather take care of business when it's convenient for me not for iPhoto. I don't move my pictures very often but when I do I want to be able to re-link them immediately and not wait for iPhoto to randomly ask me and then I don't know what album or date the picture is from that its asking me about. Thanks in advance!

    I thought you were aware of the pitfalls of running a Referenced Library One of which is that if you move the files iPhoto will lose track of them.
    Unfortunately, iPhoto has no mechanism for checking the integrity of the links - another reason I would not use iPhoto in Referenced Mode.
    You could try use an app like [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com> to check and repair broken aliases. However, if you continue to manage your files without reference to iPhoto then you will continue to have problems.

  • Help! Just copied iTunes media to second external drive and now have broken links in the original drive??

    Hi everyone
    I wonder if anyone can offer me some advice to rectify the problems I'm experiencing in my itunes?
    I have been saving my media to an external hard drive since rebuilding my itunes collection, while keeping the library on the hard drive of my MBP.  This was working well with no problems but as my media reached 300GB on my external I thought I would copy it to another external hard drive as back up, and after that I decided to also make a copy of my library data to the same second external drive so I would have a full back up of itunes in case of failure of my main hard drive...
    So after copying my media from my first external drive to the second, and then copying the library data from my MBP hard drive it seems the copy of my media and the copied library are working fine on my second external hard drive, but now when I open the first external drive where I originally was saving my media files I am suffering quite a lot of broken links???...I followed the copy process as I have done in the past although I did not tick the check box for renaming and moving my media as it was about to be copied,and I thought that was correct as I used the consolidate function to copy it..
    Been trying to figure out how to rectify the problem tonight and am getting nowhere fast.  Can anyone offer suggestions as to how I can sort the issue on my original external hard drive as it's the one I prefer to store my media on and it was functioning perfectly before?? from having a tidy and clearly functioning itunes I now have a mass of problems....
    I hope this is clear to someone.....as I was hoping to have it fixed in readiness for a new MBP...am I missing something obvious?

    OK, this should sort you out...
    Move the following files and folders from /Volumes/Backup/iTunes  up to /Volumes/Backup/
    Album Artwork (folder)
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Library.xml
    sentinel (hidden)
    Launch iTunes. It should warn that the library is missing. Browse to the file /Volumes/Backup/iTunes Library.itl and open it.
    Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and change the media folder location to /Volumes/Backup/Music. Let iTunes consolidate files if it asks, if not use File > Library > Organize Library... Tick Consolidate files and click OK.
    Close iTunes. Rename /Volumes/Backup/Music as /Volumes/Backup/iTunes Media. Start iTunes.
    Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, check that the media folder location now reads /Volumes/Backup/iTunes Media. If necessary, change and then close and reopen iTunes.
    Go to File > Library Organize Library... and, if not greyed out, tick Rearrange files in the folder iTunes Media, then click OK.
    Delete /Volumes/Backup/iTunes/iTunes Media which now contains redundant copies.
    Move the following files and folders from /Volumes/Backup/ into /Volumes/Backup/iTunes
    Album Artwork (folder)
    iTunes Media (folder)
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Library.xml
    sentinel (hidden)
    Launch iTunes. It should warn that the library is missing. Browse to the file /Volumes/Backup/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl and open it.
    Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, check that the media folder location now reads /Volumes/Backup/iTunes/iTunes Media. If necessary, change and then close and reopen iTunes.
    Each time you change something and start iTunes just check that a track will play. If not, close iTunes and undo your last action.
    That should be it. You can clone this iTunes folder to any other drive and the clone is a functioning copy of your library.

  • Checking for Broken Links

    Is there a solution out there for checking broken links in a content area in Oracle Portal?

    I think a third party products will check broken links by identifying links which return a 404 error.
    Portal (at least 3.0.6.6.5) does not respond with 404 but gives WWC-46000. I doubt a third-party product will recognise this as a broken link.
    Analyzing apaches log files is of no use either. The error log gives no entries, the access log shows apache has responded the request with HTTP-200 , which is correct if you see the problem from Apache. Apache does a request to modplsql, a page is returned, and Apache passes it on.
    The problem becomes somewhat more complicated if you consider access rights to folders. A link can be OK for userA, but can be broken for userB.

  • Itunes deleted songs and apps

    When I plugged my IPod in to get updated and when I took it out all my songs and apps were deleted and when I went to my itunes library , none of the songs or apps I bought were in there.

    - When you deleted them did the requested amount of storage space decrease?
    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - When you look at the colored bargraph of storage usage on the iPod in iTunes how much is taken up by "other". If greater than about 3/4 GB then restoring from backup usually reduced the "other".

  • TS1424 I downloaded 2 songs and paid for them and now they won't play.  How do I fix it?

    How can I fix this problem?

    I just downloaded 11 songs and 4 don't work.  3 only play a few seconds and 1 doesn't do anything.  I'm afraid to delete them though, but they're still on file somewhere I guess then, right?
    Well, I just deleted them but when I go back to my purchases it still shows the "Downloaded" button that I can't click on.
    This is really aggravating.  Am I just not doing something right?  It doesn't help that I'm very tired lol.

  • ITunes suddenly very slow and full of broken links

    What could be bogging down iTunes on my Mac. Internet service seems unaffected but iTunes is slow and many broken links showing pics (album covers, etc.). Other programs seem fine. Auto updates are on and running iTunes 8.

    Let’s try this:
    Restart your mac
    Safe Boot: Hold down the shift key after the chime until the Apple logo appears and the gear is moving.
    It will take awhile but you will be asked to login.
    Go to your Applications folder> Utilities and launch Disk Utility.
    In the left side column, highlight your drive and repair permissions.( button down below)
    Empty the trash.
    Restart your mac.

  • Delete iTunes and ReInstall for new user issues.

    Gave husband my old computer when I got a new one. He needs HIS iTunes account installed. I deleted iTunes and anything associated, reinstalled but it still opens with my info. and when he plugs in his new phone - shows my phone info.
    I've deleted, iTunes, QuickTime, associated files, searched and removed all files.
    How do I permanently get rid of me on my old computer so he can start fresh.

    You can reinstall iTunes, however you have to ensure that you drag the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file back into itunes before you sync your phone. Doing this makes your library appear as it was before so you get back your preferences, playcount, etc.

  • Deleted songs and apps

    i downloaded mac osx leopard and after it was done all the contents of my computer was gone. i was able to get some back but all the songs and apps on itunes that i had are still gone how do i get them back

    Use your backup copy. This is one of the many reasons that backing up your important info/music/pics/docs/etc is basic.
    Certainly you did not upgrade you operating system without backing up first?
