Does itunes offer edited music to download

My 14 year old son wants an ipod for Christmas. I am concerned with him downloading the unedited music. Is there an option of downloaded edited music only?

You can set the Parental Controls in iTunes to disallow access to explicit music on the iTunes Store. It's not foolproof (the record companies sometimes don't correctly mark a track as explicit), but it will keep your son away from most of the problematic tracks. You'll also want to disable podcasts since there's no rating system for those.

I am trying to transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac; however, all that transfers is the music I downloaded from itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's.

How do I transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac? When I try all that transfers is what I downloaded from Itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's/.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

2011 Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information, particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick solution above. Unfortunately it uses the single term "transferring library" for two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration) and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc? I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

Are you talking about restore of the iPhone from its backup, or something else? The first time you sync an iOS device on each calendar day iTunes will update the backup set for the device. If you remove data from the device and backup, then the backup of that data has gone. For this reason it actually makes sense to restore an iOS device periodically as, once used for a restore, the backup set is archived and a new one created.
Ideally you would have backed up these pictures somewhere. If you enabled it, you may find pictures in your Photo Stream.
In general you need to keep a backup copy of all your important files. iTunes will let you download most past purchases from the store but backing up other content is down to you. The user Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy suggests a way to do this for iTunes, but the same tool can be used to preserve other folders of data.

Music in your iTunes library that isn't available at the iTunes Store is uploaded to your iCloud account.

Does iTunes convert your music when transfering to iPod?

If I have a .wav, .aac, or .mp3, does iTunes convert them to one unified format and bitrate when it get's transfered to the iPod or do the files basically stay as they were?

No they don't get converted. Whatever the files/bitrates are that are imported into into iTunes are the same as get transferred to the iPod.

Why does iTunes keep deleting music from off my iPhone

Ok so my music from iphone keeps deleting itself. I keep having to restore this dumb phone only to lose my information days and sometimes hours later. This is the final straw for me. I've restored this phone 20 times in a week! Im tired of dealing with all of these technical issues so when my contract is up I'm done with this thing. Is there ANYTHING I can do in the meantime to keep from losing my music.

I'll continue the discussion. I find the item in question. There was an app that I had deleted from my iTunes but was still on my iPhone dspite numerous syncs. I deleted the separately from my iPhone and no longer received the warning message described above.
Now however, when I delate an app in iTunes not only does the app stay on the iPhone but I do not even get the warning message.
My next step is to perform a restore. Perhaps this will clear up both this problem and a series of other issues like the wi-fi on/off randomly greying out on the iPhone and having all of my music on the iPhone disappearing after a sync.

Why does you tube prevent music video downloads?

I have figured out that music companies do not want you tube users to download videos to their hard drives or jump drives. Well, I want to. All the other videos work fine. I am using Firefox 18.0 with video download helper, and every time I download a music video, it says zero bytes. Zero byte download files, zero byte music video file. So I found the workaround to this problem to be save vid dot com, where I can enter the url to the music video I want to download and save it to my disk. Why does Firefox not allow this. Why does you tube not allow this. Money must be involved. Like I said, there must be some stupid reason why they don't want us to download their music videos. What's their problem. I just want to watch the video when I am offline, and save vid has saved me from getting angry again.
All the other videos that do not have major sponsors download just fine, and it's sad that we have to find workarounds to stupid problems. Save vid allows you to save the you tube video without loading a spybot plugin that changes your home page and peppers you with ads, I'm glad they have it. I hope to save someone else the trouble.

Actually, it is keep vid dot come, not save vid that i used, but both are legit websites that allow you to download videos from anywhere without a lot of hassle or unsafe plugins. Sorry about any confusion.

Why does iTunes move my music files and create new albums?

I'm running iTunes 11.4 on my iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4. My iTunes library is stored on a WD MyBookLive NAS.
I've not had any problems with this set up until today. When I double clicked on a song it moved it completely into another album, gave the file the wrong name but still played the right music, it had also changed the file information to match the wrong folder. When I re-added it to iTunes it put it back into the wrong album!
I have also seen it move songs as I double click them to play from one album to a new album of the same name but the artist name goes from 'Soupdragons' to 'The Soupdragons' Both these folders then exist on my NAS. This is crazy, what is happening? Fortunately these errors have happened to old music that I have the CD's for so I can easily rectify it, but any help as to why it's happening would be great.
Thanks Tim

Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off

Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.

Why does iTunes corrupting my music files!??

Ok its been a week since I've gone out an bought myself a well 160gb iPod Classic, looks fantastic and have used mates iPods before with no problem.
A week later... I've been pulling my hair out.. not good at my age.
Every song I play in iTunes (any version) or transfer to the iPod ends up garbled, distorted, skips the file all together, plays like a chipmunk.
Converted a movie to .mov played fine in iTunes and perfect on the iPod.
All other music programs play these files fine! Until I open up iTunes and right click on a song and click get info, pop up tells me about the file etc.
Closing that and then trying to play the song in another music app the song fails!
Playing it in Media Player Classic outputs this error:

Guys and Gals I've tried everything over the last week and thinking about returning this headache. For the money spent on it I'd expect it to work straight away, the iPod itself crashed 45mins into playin with it trying to sync music to it!!
Seriously any help is great. I've tried the apple support page and everything is up to date in terms of drivers and software, directX etc.

Does iTunes use wireless music stream if using an Ethernet cable for AE?

Hello,
I have been having trouble with airtunes for some time now. I've tried lots of different things without much success. I think there might be too many wireless networks in my building and I am getting a lot of interference. So i'm thinking of trying a wired method.
If I plugged an ethernet cable from the computer into the Airport Express (which is then plugged into the stereo), does airtunes still send the music stream wirelessly or would it use the ethernet cable instead?
Thanks
WP

1. Will this work (i.e., add wireless to the office and maintain my existing wireless in my home)? If so, what do I need to do? Specifically, do I need to configure WDS and (if so) does 2Wire support this?
What you are attempting to do is actually called a "roaming" network in Apple terms and not WDS. In a roaming network, AirPort base stations are connected together on the same subnet of an Ethernet network. Each base station is setup as a bridge, but share the same network name (SSID) and encryption (if used). It sounds like it should be possible to setup the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a roaming network. The following is how it would be done with AirPort Extreme Base Stations:
- Network configuration: DSL/Cable Modem or Internet Router > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS1 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBS2 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBSn (Note: In your case, you will have a single AX, instead of multiple AEBSs.)
- Setup the second AEBS, as a bridge. (Disable "Distribute IP addresses")
- For each AEBS in the roaming network:
-- Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
-- Provide a unique Base Station Name
-- The Network Name should be identical
-- If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
-- Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next AEBS.
2. Assuming I can, can I have that same AX (i.e., the one connected vis-à-vis Ethernet cable) be used for wireless printing in the office while providing wireless internet? Any special configuration to allow that?
Yes.
3. If this network desire does not work, is there another set of hardware that I should purchase (i.e., a different wireless DSL modem, Airport Extreme, other???).
The configuration as you planned it should work...but, in case it doesn't, I'd recommend that you replace your current wireless router with an AEBS. You can then get either another AEBS or an AX to create the roaming network.

Does iTunes Match replace Music syncing?

I was just wondering if I buy iTunes Match will I no longer need to sync my device with my computer for music?

Just be warned, though, that syncing of metadata (such as Play Counts, Last Played) in iTunes Match is still pretty erratic. Just yesterday, I played all the tracks with Plays = 0 and updated iTunes Match afterwards. When I opened iTunes again this morning, the tracks are back in the playlist with Plays = 0 again. All my iOS devices did not update as well. If you care about your metadata, do not subscribe to iTunes Match, at least not yet, until they sorted this thing out.

Why does iTunes offer most movies for purchase rather for rental?

Maybe there is no answer for this question. Apple must desparately want me to use any service other than iTunes. Why the F would I want to be the proud owner of "Place Beyond the Pines"? So I can watch it again and again? Nearly everything I want to watch is for sale for like 15$. Forget it. Sorry for the rant.
How can I communicate to iTunes the magnitude of my distaste for their movies offering?

It's not Apple's choice, it's the film studios that set whether a film is available for renting and/or buying.
You can try requesting that a particular film is offered as a rental, but without the studio's agreement it can't happen : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

My hard drive crashed and I lost everything. No backup. Does Itunes backup to a server? Can I get my library back? If so how?

My hard cdrive crashed and I lost everything. No Music library back up. Does Itunes have my music on their Server? If so how can I get it back?

You can re-download everything you already bought, if you remember what it was, and you won't have to pay again. This assumes the music you purchased is still available for download.
Other than iCloud backup, which does not store your non-iTunes purchased music anyway, that is all there is.
From iCloud: Backup and restore overview:
The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store

When I transfer my music from windows media player, itunes places the music all over the place instead of in the album its suppose to be in. Why?????

Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.
