Dropouts between every song since itunes 12 on OS 10.10 when using a library in a Time Capsule

Since using iTunes 12 on Yosemite I have constant dropouts between every song when having my library on a time capsule. I know the TC is in some kind of energy saving mode after a couple of minutes (why can't I change the length of that?) but the thing is: it wasn't a problem under Mavericks using iTunes 11.x.
Anyone having the same problem and/or a solution for that?

1. No, undelete is not a feature of the Mac OS. That's handled by back up apps.
2. Recovery Software will not get your Library back. The best you can hope to do is to get your original photos back. When a recovery app scans the disk it will find many files of the same name. In every case elect to recover the largest file size - that has the best chance of being the original
3. Yes you can restore from Time Machine to another location
4. If you don't trust Time Machine then why are you using one of the (very many) alternative apps?

I am trying to make a ringtone from my itunes on iphone 5 and ios7. It says "this song cannot be used as a ringtone" on every song in itunes. Any ideas?

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the song. a

I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the songs. I don't remember that password and when I use my present Apple id and password it doesn't authorize the computer to play those songs. How do I get these songs authorized since there are a lot of them?

Purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

My mac book pro seems to be distorting (crackling) songs through itunes / any program or site when adjusting volume. (only happens adjusting using keyboard short cut)

What i've got:
Mac book pro: 10.6.8 OS X
What's happening:
A couple of weeks ago, I was adjusting the volume of an i-tunes song using the apple wireless keyboard. When i adjust it, either up or down, crackling and skipping of the song occurs. Happens to ALL songs on itunes, only happens if I am using my keyboard or mac book controls to change the volume. (does not occur when I adjust using i-tunes volume control). I wanted to see if it was i-tunes or not, but it seems even when adjusting volume of a website song or anything crackling and distortion still occurs!
This is complete bull poop.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas, because I am STUMPED.

Since your issue occurs when using iTunes, post in their forum area.

TS1389 I purchased a song on iTunes that is now appearing twice on my library; the first download only plays 37 seconds of the song, the second download will not play & prompts me to authorize the computer to allow it to play. Suggestions?

Can two Macbook Pro's share the same Itunes folder(all media in Ituens) on an external drive (like Time Capsule)? How and what issues may arise?

Hey, I have two macbook pros (250 gb). They are both running out of space. My first thought was to share an iphoto library off of Dropbox or our Time Capsule. But, I heard that if one file gets corrupted (interenet cuts out, for example) then the whole library gets corrupted. Well, we're full again and now I am wondering if I could move our Itunes folders to our Time Capsule, sync/sort them both so there won't be any duplicates and then use this as a shared itunes library. So first, is this possible? Both computers share the same itunes account.
Second, if I do, and I purchase a song, show, whatever, does it automatically be added to the itunes library on our Time Capsule and then it is available for both computers to access? Or do I need to "import" it on both?
Third, does the "file corruption" issue listed above pertain to itunes?
I saw a discussion about this but it was form 2008. I am sure things have changed a bit since then.
Thanks for the help!

No.

How I can transfer my itunes library to my Time Capsule?

how I can transfer my itunes library to my Time Capsule?

iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
But, before you do this, you might want to think about how you will backup the iTunes library that will be moved to the Time Capsule. (Time Machine cannot do this).
Since you will need another hard drive as the target for the backup of the iTunes library, it might make more sense to move your iTunes library to a hard drive attached directly to your Mac.
Then, Time Machine will back up both your Mac...and....the attached hard drive to your Time Capsule using Time Machine.

Keeping iTunes library on a time capsule

I want to be able to keep my music library on my time capsule instead of my iMac, both for purposes of not using up all my hard drive space and also to allow other computers to access it thru the network. However, itunes Does Not Want to do this. I've changed the location of the library thru Prefs>Advanced>itunes media folder location several times but it keeps reverting to the default of users/myname/music.
Basically it seems to hold the change as long as I keep the computer on, but once it restarts/is shut off, it reverts back.
Is there some way to make changes to the default 'stick'? There are other programs too that don't seem to want to keep my changes--for example I have safari and chrome set to reopen w/ previous tabs, but unless I close them out using the Option key they reopen w/ 1 tab at the default home page.
Thanks!

Don't do it that way.
Read these. If you're going to start doing this you need to know how iTunes works. This can get messy fast.
What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
You have two options.
1) Share the whole library. Disadvantages: a) Somebody makes changes you don't like then there's no way to undo it easily. b) The library file can only be open on one computer at a time.
2) Share just media. Each user has their own library file but share media files. Multiple people can run iTunes at the same time. Gets slightly tricky making sure each computer is up to date on new media added.
To do 1) you should have:
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
To do 2 we can provide other instructions.
Finally, don't do this with Time Capsule. When your TC drive dies you lose not only your original library but the backup at the same time. Unless you have two TCs, one for a file server and the other as backup.

Can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

It seems the ability to restore from backup discs was removed along with the ability to create them. You will need to temporarily install an older version of iTunes (e.g. 10.3) to recover the media from those discs.
See Win 7 OS,64 Bit..Going back to ver 10.3 as I wish to use the cdbackup/restore version..I for a previous thread discussing this.

Every song in itunes library appears twice. how do i delete the dups

in my itunes library every song shows up twice. how do I delete the duplicates?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Difference Between # of Songs in iTunes and Songs on iPod?

Is there a way to compare the songs in iTunes to the songs on my iPod and see the discrepancies? There is only a 1 song difference between the two out of 4800+ and I don't want to waste a lot of time looking for it. Actually, I won't bother but I'm kind of anal so it will drive me crazy.

One thing to check is if you have your iPod set to auto sync only checked songs and if so then scan your library and see if you have any songs that are NOT checked.
You can also check for unchecked songs with some Smart Playlist trickery. Create a Smart Playlist that only includes checked songs and just make a silly rule that will include your whole library (e.g. all songs that are not from the year 1111) and call it something like "Checked Songs". All your checked songs will go into that playlist. Now create a new Smart Playlist, leave the checked songs only box UNchecked and then make your rule all songs NOT in the Checked Songs playlist, which of course will simply be anything not checked.

HT204406 Errors on every song on iTune match

I recently got a message that I needed to log out of iTunes and log back in. When I did, I had to re-log in to iTunes match. Now every song on my library comes up as "error" in the iTunes status. Any ideas how I can remedy this? All my music is still up in iTunes cloud, but I get errors when it attempts to match. This is very frustrating, because I have moe music I want to put up in the cloud.

Thanks - but I thought the idea was to free up space on your device. Can I select which songs reside on phone and which ones to stream from iTunes match?
Hi,
Once iTunes match completes its scan of your iTunes library on your computer, all your music will be available to stream but you can select the tracks that you wish to download. With match turned on, you will no longer be able to sync with your manually with the computer as you did before subscribing to match,

Sorting between Ipod songs and Itunes songs

I cant figure this out; Is there a way to seperate between the songs on your ipod and the songs in your itunes? I have A LOT of songs in my iTunes and its impossible to look through whats on it and whats not. Any easier ways? Thanks!

Harry,
You can have your iPod sync automatically either with your entire library or specific play-lists. If your library is too large to fit on an iPod, create a (smart)Playlist with the songs you want.
Or you can manually update your iPod, but the songs must be in your iTunes library for them to be on the iPod.
All of this can be configured under the "Music" tab in the iPod section of iTunes (Left hand column : Devices : iPod : Music "tab" )

Checking more than one song at a time without automatically checking every song in iTunes

I'm trying to check a group of songs at the same time. But when I highlight the songs I want, and then command+click the checkbox, it checkmarks ALL the songs in iTunes. Is there any way to only check the songs I've highlighted? I can't believe no one thought of this. As it is right now, I have to individually check the songs that I want to play, which is a pain.

Highlight all the songs you want with the command + click method, then right click on any one song in the list and choose "check selction" which will automatically read "uncheck seletcion" of the songs you hlight are checked.

I bought songs on itunes through my iphone. When I went to plug my iphone into my computer to sync, itunes asked me to restore. I backed my phone up, but now i cannot find the songs i purchased through my phone. How do i get back the songs?

I bought songs on itunes through my iphone not too long ago. When I went to plug my iphone into my computer to sync, itunes asked me to restore my phone. I backed my phone up, but now i cannot find the songs i purchased through my phone. I've looked for the songs in the itunes store, but it said that i had not purchased any of the songs.How do i get back the songs?

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.
