Deletion of Songs in iTunes that are not on hard drive

I had to delete a lot of songs from my hard drive. They are no longer in my hard drive but they are still visible on Itunes. Is there a an easy way to get rid of these from Itunes, other than going through each song one by one and deleting them individually

ALSO:
Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt
Rename it to RemoveDeadTracks.js.
Run iTunes.
While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script. It'll remove all the exclamation marked tracks.
One step, no fuss, no muss.
Give Otto42 a big 'Thanks' for this one.

Removing songs from iTunes, that are not saved on the computer

Hey guys.
First of all i would like to thank you for reading my post and trying to help.
Anyways, i rent an external harddrive from one of my friends, and he had a huge amount of songs, that i would like to get on my computer. Stupid as i am, i started downloading directly from the harddrive, which result in a lot of songs in my iTunes, that are not saved in the computer, and when i remove the external harddrive from my computer, all the songs cannot play. So after that, i saved them on my computer, and tried getting them into iTunes once again. This has resulted in a double of every songs. Which is quite much.. Are there any ways, that i can do a "Clean-up" and remove all the songs that are not saved on my computer or not working or something like that?
I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If your previous library was matched on you your computer, you can retrieve your music from itunes match on your computer.
Sign in to match and add your computer. Your library will now show all the music that is in match. You should be able to download all your music back on to your computer.

How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?

I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?

You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.

How do I search the available songs in Itunes that are not just $1.29?

According to ITUNES, I should be able to view all available songs in the ITUNES store. Well there are supposed to be songs that are 99 cents and 69 cents. Where can I find those at? I jave tried everything and I cant seem to locate those in the store so I can see if I want to purchase those.
Please help!!!
Thanks

But I want to just spcifically look at all the .69 cent songs to see if there are any I like.
The iTunes Store has extremely few songs for 69 cents, and as Roaminggnome notes, they do not make them easy to find. However, you might enjoy this nice 69 cent version of Chicken Dance.

I've bought some songs on iTunes that are not available for me to download anymore.

I had bought 182 songs but only 40 are available now, it wasn't like this before, what happened?

Hi AlexSecco,
You are probably looking in the wrong place for your previously purchased music. Open the iTunes Store and sign on. Then click on "Purchased" under Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes Store window.
Once you do that:
Click on Music (at the of the window)
Click on All Songs
Click on All (top right of the window)
You should see the entire list of all purchased music. Anything that is already on your computer will say "Downloaded" next to the song. Anything that is available to download will have a little cloud with an arrow in it.
You can download songs selectively, or you can click "Download All" at the bottom right of the window.
Cheers,
GB

I have several movies in iTunes that are not transfer to my apple tv

Not all videos in iTunes can be played on AppleTV. If a video is not playing on your AppleTV do this:
1) Select the video
2) Go to the File menu and choose 'Create new version'
3) Choose 'iPad or AppleTV version'
A new copy compatible with AppleTV will be created.
(these steps are intended for iTunes 11. In iTunes 10, click on the Advanced menu)

I have song in itunes that will not load onto ipod ?

I have a song in itunes that will not download onto ipod, nothing by song in library indicating there is a problem. Can anyone help me ?

Does the song have a tick-in-the-box next to the song title? (You may have selected to Sync only ticked songs and videos to your iPod. This option is on the Device/Sumary pane that appears when you connect the iPod to iTunes.)
Is the song in a format the iPod can play? (Is it the same format as other songs that do Sync to your iPod?)
Have you looked (on the iPod) under songs as well as artists? (It may show up under songs but not under artists.)
Try the Search facility on the iPod and see if it shows up that way.

How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS

How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS

Perhaps you could be more specific, as it is a little difficult to answer your question without any details. I can give you some general ideas though.
On my machine there are a few applications that have installed items into the menu bar - I'm assuming you are talking about the icons on the right hand side of the top bar. To remove those items, I would generally need to uninstall the program that created them. To do this varies a little from application to application.
Also, sometimes an application will have preferences that allow you choose if you want to display the item in the menu bar.
So, my general advice would be that you need to identify the application that placed the item there, and remove it from your computer. If there is an uninstall program for that application, I would run that in the first instance.
If you don't actually wish to uninstall the application, you may need to click on the item or run the application and see if there is a setting to not show the menu bar item.
Hope that helps.

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

Songs in itunes match are not on my iphone

I have recently started to trial iTunes Match and with 20k+ carefully managed songs with all artwork intact, I am confused and perplexed on why some songs are not uploaded to the Cloud; why some artwork is then missing in Match; and why songs showing in Match are not transferred correctly on my iPhone nor iPad (they are listed, but light grey and not playable). Any suggestions on what I need to do or is this an Apple issue?

First, you need to let the inital scan, match and upload process in iTunes complete before you enable the service on your iOS devices. This is the best practice. Once the initial scan is complete then all the music will be availabe on the iOS devices.
Second, in Song view in iTunes enable the iCloud Status column so you can see how the service has classified all the music in your library. If successfully processed all the tracks shoud be either "purchased," "matched," or "uploaded." Any other status indicates a problem with that track that will need to be sorted out, and it won't be availble on the iOS devices.
Third, be patient with the artwork. It can take some time for all the artwork to download to the iOS devices. It isn't instant. But eventually all the artwork will show up.

How do I delete places in the organizer that are not being used?

In Elements Organizer 12, I think I accidentally created a "place" on the map that I do not want to apply to any photos. When I try to do conduct an advanced search, the place is appearing as a checkbox. I do not want this place to show up in the search field, as we have never been there. How do I remove places that are not associated with any photos?

If you are accessing emails from multiple devices, you are better off using the IMAP protocol. Then the devices sync with the server and they are all looking at the same information. With POP, you are going to get your emails spread about, some on Outlook, some on the iPad. It could get very confusing.
By default, the iPad will not delete from a POP server. Instructions for changing this are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228
