Disapearing files (entire albums mostly)
I used Itunes 6.0.1 on a PBG4. My iTunes music is stored in root/itunes/itunes music. For some reason, from time to time an album disapears from my hard drive and iTunes can't find it (so I get exclamation marks). Spotlight can't find it either searching by song name or artist or album. this also happens from time to time for only certain songs but most of the time it's either an entire album or an entire artist that disapears.
Any idea?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The reason you got that message is because they were still located within the iPhoto Library folder and iPhoto won't import from there.
What you need to do is to copy those roll folders to the desktop. Then delete those rolls from iPhoto from within iPhoto and import those folders from the desktop. Remember: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

I have added several CDs to my iTunes files, several Albums were added in the form of multiple files of the same Album title with random songs listed, but not the entire album in one file.
I have tried to reassemble the Album into one file, but could not find a way to do so.Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

I love the new Lady Antebellum song "Dancing away with my heart." Purchased it, would not download. So, I purchased the entire album "We Own The Night, just to get this song.....It downloaded all the songs except "Dancing away with my heart!" Error message pops up everytime I attempt to download the song again "Error - file may be corrupted." It is listed on my IPOD and in my list of purchased music, my account was debited, yet the songs are not there. HELP!
Delete the contents of the <Media Folder>\Download folder
Use Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset cache
Delete the current entry from your library
Download it again from your purchased history

Exlamation point on 7 tracks from an entire album, all the others are fine. It won't play on the laptop, I get an error message that the original files are missing. But they play fine on the iPod.
Try deleting those missing tracks from your computer's iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer and do File > Transfer Purchases - that should copy them back from the iPod

Any good shortcuts to deleting/importing entire albums in iTunes?
I recently had to reset my iPod Touch and now find that on reloading my music much of it is/was on other drives or locations. I now have decided on better housekeeping and will keep all of it in the C:\Music\Albums folder.
When I view my albums in iTunes, most of them visually appear to be okay until I click on a song and the "can't find" message comes up with the question "do you want to manually find" or something like that. After I direct iTunes to the correct location, it is only for that one song. Can I do this for entire albums? One way of course is to delete the album and import the same album from the new location.
Also - and this would be even betteer - is there some way to select multiple albums and re-map them all? Most of the "lost" locations are from an external drive and I want them all to be on the local C:\ drive.
I have about 100 albums to move so shortcuts will help a lot. Should I just delete my entire library and start from scratch?not sure if you can do this for multiple albums at the same time, but you can use the 'import folder' option from the file menu

Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?
Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device. -
Why can't I download entire albums from my purchase history is iTunes on my iPAD?
'The New IPAD'I want to download music from. My PURCHASE HISTORY in ITUNES onto my NEW IPAD. I would like to download an entire Christmas ALBUM by various artists! Now it is very tedious going into each of the 83 artists and downloading one song! WHY CAN I NOT DOWNLOAD (OR VIEW) ENTIRE ALBUMS OR EVEN SEARCH ALL MUSIC WHILST IN 'PURCHASE'! It seems like a major design floor from apple and as I have searched the Internet for solutions it seems I may be the only one!!! PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!!! THANKS JJ
If you have Not On This iPad selected at the top middle of the Purchased tab in the iTunes app, then tap on All Songs at the top left of the screen and then tap on 'Songs By Most Recent' at the top right and change it to 'Albums By Name' - does the album that you want to download then appear as an album on the right-hand side of the screen ? If it does then tap on it and will hopefully download the whole album.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.

I've purchased an entire album but some of the songs stop playing midway through. How can I rectify this?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -
I've got a 2gb nano and my music library is larger than that (about 3.5 gb). I've limited my songs to the most popular (4 and 5 star rating) and that works fairly well, but I have a couple of albums that I want the entire album. Is there a way to do this without creating a playlist for each album, or is that the only way to do it?
I tried dragging an album to the ipod, and that didn't work of course.Thanks, Chris. I will try that. I'm figuring out different ways to use some of the Get Info boxes to select stuff for playlists also. I've used iTunes since it first came out, but now with the new iPod it's changing the way I look at my music! I didn't expect that.

Create iPhoto Slideshow on iPad of Entire Album
I'm on an iPad running ios 7.0.4. Does anyone know how can I create a slideshow in iPhoto of an entire album without having to click on each individual photo? (My album has hundreds of photos..) This Apple Support page describes two ways of creating a slideshow, but they both require clicking on each photo individually: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11976?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Alternatively, if anyone knows of a 3rd-party app that will allow that, I'd love to hear about it.
Thank you,
WilliamI am trying to create a slideshow on DVD for a
client. His business is a small newspaper. For an
upcoming tradeshow, he wants to have a large display
with a slideshow of each page of the paper scrolling
across the screen, flipping to the next page, etc. I
figured iPhoto would be an excellent tool to do it
without much labor, using the Ken Burns effect to pan
the full length of each page. It works perfectly on
my Mac display and looks great.
Even the exported video looks OK when I preview it in
iDVD.
However, once it goes to DVD, the visual quality is
worthless. I expected serious degradation of text
quality since it is only 720 pixels wide. The text
isn't as sharp, but it is readable.
The big problem is that as it scrolls, it looks like
the the images pass behind a grid of prisms that
refract everything. The disruptive lines are about
1/4 inch apart, so the whole TV screen is a mess,
it's impossible to watch. At first I thought it may
be an issue with the scan rate of the TV, but the
same thing happens when I play the DVD back on my
notebook PC and my Mac.
I set the iDVD preview window and the DVD Player
window side by side and played them together. The
iDVD preview was fine, the DVD player window gives me
a headache.
What can be causing this, and is there any way to
change a setting in iPhoto or iDVD to prevent it?
What resolution are you using for the slides? I have done several DVDs with slide shows as an option (training DVDs) and it's always worked well. I am using PNG and JPEG files with at least 150dpi resolution. I've even used Contrictor to snap screen shots of some PDF files with good results. I am using a 17" screen so again, I'm getting as much resolution as I can before I stick them into the DVD slide show.

Trying to sharpen an entire album at once + Ratings have disappeared
I'm trying to sharpen an entire album at once (just to apply the basic Edge sharpening values, as all my RAW files look pretty soft, but I don't want to sharpen each individually).
I've followed the instructions here: http://chuqui.typepad.com/imagingreality/usingaperture/index.html
and while it works okay, it leaves me with a problem that it creates a new sharpened Version of each image, which sits underneath the Master. So in each Stack, the unsharpened master is the Pick and not the sharpened version.
Obviously, I don't want to go through each image and select the version to be the pick.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there an easy way to set the versions to be the Picks and not the masters, or is my workflow just plain wrong?
On an even more newbie-ish note, in the grid view browser, thumbnails are no longer displayed with their ratings, so I can't filter out higer rated images. I expect that there's an easy way to bring this back, but I've searched the manual without success.
Thanks for any help from a confused newbie.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RAM
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RAMAperture never promotes a version to the stack pick automatically. IMO this should be a preference setting (and I'd set it to Promote Adjusted Version).
so, after stamping all your images, and any other adjustments, you'll need to troll through and promote.
The fastest way I found is to use the keyboard ..... no, you can't lift/stamp or batch change. ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!
OK, here's what I did/do:
Reduce thumbnails in the project viewer to a reasonably small size (sufficient so you can determine the master filename from the version name).
Press "V" to remove the selected image from being viewed.
From the menu, Stacks, Expand all stacks
Click the first image.

I downloaded an album and it wouldn't let me play a few songs, so i deleted the entire album to try and redownload it, now it won't let me...help?
Did you remove the entries from your library, or just the physical files?
Delete the entries, close and reopen iTunes, select iTunes Store in the left column, then Purchased in the quick links section. Your missing songs should be listed under Music > Not on his Computer.

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

I have an album that comes with indivisual artwork for each track. I would like to have each track have its own artwork, but still have the entire album have the real album cover. So when I'm looking at the album's section on iTunes or my iPhone I see the album cover, but when I select an indivual track to play from that album I see the individual track artwork. I can't figure out how to do this.
Right-click the track in your iTunes library, Get Info, and open the Artwork tab. You can paste in the artwork for that individual track.
