How do i ..load music from PC hard drive to itunes

hey ... trying to pulll from my PC hard drive (library) to itune (library)

if your main library is on your external, then when not connected, you wont have access to it.
so first decide, where do you want to keep the files.
E.g. In my case, I keep my files on "C:\iTunes Music".
I have a backup on external "Z:\iTunes Backup". If I format my laptop, this is how I restore everything.
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced.
The iTunes music folder in selects as "C:\iTunes Music"
I have checked Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized, and also Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to ibrary". Click OK to save and close preferences.
My iTunes list is now empty. I go to file, and select "Add Folder to Library". From that window, I select "Z:\iTunes Backup". iTunes then copies everything from the backup to "C:\iTunes Music". For me, backup is backup, I dont need it to play music.
Now decide this. If you do not want to keep music on C:, but want to only connect the external to update music on your ipod, do this:
In preferences, set iTunes Music folder as "Z:\iTunes Backup", and uncheck Copy files to iTunes Music folder, since they are already there. Then in files, select Add folder to library again to build and update the list.

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder? I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.

What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library. That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

How do I get my music from a flash drive onto my phone from itunes

I had a flash drive with all my music on it, I got the music into iTunes with no problems and when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes syncs my music with no problem but when I try to get the music onto my iPhone it won't transfer. I have tried to sync the entire library, song by song, and by playlist but I'm unsuccessful. Also there are little exclamation marks "!" next to the songs in iTunes, I'm sure this has something to do with my problem I just don't know how to fix it. Any help would be great. Thank you

It sounds to me like the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" was turned off in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences when you added the tracks from the flash drive, so iTunes left them on the flash drive rather than copying them to your computer's hard drive. Get Info on any of the tracks and see where iTunes thinks they should be located. If they're pointing to the flash drive, check that preference.
If that is indeed the problem, you'll need to fix the location. You can do this track by track if there aren't too many, but if there are a number of them, it'll be easiest to remove them from the iTunes library, fix the above-mentioned preference, and add the tracks again. Or you can just keep the flash drive connected to your computer, but that's probably not ideal.
Regards.

Loading photos from a flash drive into my Catalog

I am a "neophyte" Photoshop Elements 10 user. I installed over 14,000 original digital photos from CDs and DVDs into my Catalog without any problems. My wife copied some very old (scanned) family photos (black & white, pre-1930) onto a flash drive and I then downloaded them into the Catalog - seemingly without any problems. However... The photos are shown in the Catalog and accessible in the Organizer, but all of them are identified by a ! icon (upper left-hand corner of each photo) as being "offline" and still resident on the flash (E:) drive. Therefore, they can not be edited. I've tried 2x to reformat and reload the photos onto several other flash drives and then download them into the Catalog without any success. They still are identified as being resident on the flash drive, only. Does anyone know what's going on and/or how to fix it? Thanks for any help can give.

Ken,
Thanks for educating me on how the Catalog actually works. However, I still don't understand how I could seamlessly load all of the other 14,000 photos into my computer from CDs and DVDs, but none from a flash drive. All of the photos I loaded came from Kodak Easyshare and Windows files located on another computer. I look at all of these removable media types as a viable means for transferring files from one computer to another. Why were the photos on the flash drive treated differently that that located on the CDs or DVDs when imported into the computer containing the Photoshop Elements program?
Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

I was down loading music from my list of songs from my computer, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but there is no music, and the iPod shuffles to the next song

I down loaded songs from my playlist off my computer to my iPod, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but no music plays and my iPod shuffles to the next available song. I down loaded about 300 songs at once, was that to much at one time ? How do I get those songs on my iPod without duplicating song titles on the playlist? Plus I have a couple of song duplications on the playlist, can't figure out how to remove them.

If there is no download button under the video you are looking at, then Youtube's terms forbid downloading someone else's property. Because they forbid it, we would be violating the terms of these forums if we were to try to help - sorry.

How do I consolidate backed up music from an external drive into itunes?

I had to replace my ipod and am trying to consolidate my old music from an external drive with the itunes library on our home computer. My gf has music there already. I have tried consolidate library, edit/prefereces/change, copied my music in itunes folder BUT nothing works. iTunes just will NOT pick up/recognize my music. Any ideas will be much appreciated. cheers

Consolidate takes what is in the iTunes library (what you see when you open iTunes) & copies it into the iTunes music folder as shown in iTunes prefs - > Advanced.
If you cannot see the songs when you open iTunes, you need to File -> Add folder to library and select the folder with your music.
