Dragging iTunes files onto disktop

I seem to have forgotten something. Unless my memory is worse than I thought it was, I used to drag songs from my iTunes library to my desktop in order to attach them to e-mail messages (I found this much faster than using the ATTACH button in my MAIL program .) Anyway, when I try to do it now, the song file doesn't stay on my desktop. What's at fault, my memory or my computer?

while not a direct answer to your question, if you want a very simple way to send a file, select the song in iTunes, look under the iTunes menu, choose Services, and then Mail, and Send File.
To think of all of the time I've wasted..... Well, better late than never. I worked! Thanks for the tip. It worked like a charm.

I cannot access previously purchased iTunes files.

Hello,
I purchased iTunes files about a year ago (that's when I began). That was my first mistake, seeing as how you can never do anything with them besides play them on iTunes. However that is not my point. After a while I stopped purchasing iTunes music, and during that time I switched banks and therefore credit cards. I had not tried to purchase any new music with the new credit card, because I didn't need any, so therefore I never thought about/saw a reason to update my account. Then my old computer pretty much died and I bought a brand new one (Gateway, it's awesome). It even has Windows Vista, yay. Now, I was a good little girl and made backup discs of all of my iTunes store music (I didn't want to waste CDs on storing music I already had on original CDs). Now, I loaded it onto the new Gateway computer, and it won't play. Now, I bet you're going to direct me to the "help" page about authorizing computers. Guess what? Been there, done that. I've been all over your help section on here (which is absolutely stupid, might I add - it would be MUCH more useful if you had things, oh I don't know, organized, or had an email address at which to contact you about this type of problem!). Nothing is helping me. I have authorized this same computer about 10 times now (no exaggeration), and my music still won't play. It pops up and says that I am not authorized to access it. Then to verify that my identity was the same when I tried a different route, it asked for the original credit card number. Well, I don't know about you, but I don't tend to keep my old credit cards just lying around! Needless to say, I don't remember it, or have any possible way to access it. So, am I going to have to go and pay again to hear the music that I ALREADY PAID FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE? If I am not, I would absolutely LOVE for someone to tell me how to listen to MY MUSIC that I HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED and NOT CHEAPLY! Thank you!
If any other information is needed please feel free to contact me at [email protected] because I really need the help on this, I really can't afford to go back and re-buy all this music (which I shouldn't have to do in the first place).

... I really can't afford to go back and re-buy all this music (which I shouldn't have to do in the first place).
No you shouldn't. Bear in mind, though, that Apple has set this up as a user-to-user board so all we can do here is try to help you figure out why the authorization procedure isn't working correctly for your new computer.
There have been a variety of issues reported with iTunes and Windows Vista, some I believe related to the authorization procedure. So the first thing I'd do is make sure you've downloaded and installed iTunes 7.1 which was just released yesterday.
That may solve your problem. If not, click on the Review Authorization Count link in the Why can't I authorize one of my computers? section of this Apple Support page and let us know how many authorizations you're using.
Be patient and we should be able to figure this out.

TS2776 i recently transferred my itunes file to a new pc. i am unable to play some songs i had imported to itunes and it says it cannot find the original folder. how can i play these files?

i recently had to rstore my pc. i had copied my itunes file to a flash drive and have since reinstalled it. Now, i am unablt to play certain imported files and have and exclamation mark. it says itunes cannot find the original folder. how can i play these songs if there is no other folder to find them in?

If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

I moved itunes file to external hard drive and want to move the file on my pc to recycle bin. When I move i get an error message that it cannot delete ituneshelper.dll access is denied. Can I move that file to the recycle bin?

I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.

Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.

Moving iTunes files from PC to Mac

I have most of my iTunes files on my iMac and want to copy them into iTunes on my PC. I thought about moving them from the iMac onto a thumb drive and them importing them into iTunes on the PC, but don't know if the thumb drive can be used on both Mac and PC. If not, any other suggestions to move 4 GB of files the easiest way possible?

Format your thumb drive as fat32 and it will be read by both PC and Mac. If you have less than 4GB of music then you should be fine

My purchased itunes files will not show up on my ipod after a virus Help!!!

I got a virus. I took my comptuer to a computer store, and got it fixed. They backed up my itunes files, and put them on a new hard drive. Everything shows up in itunes, but my purchased files from itunes wont sync to my ipod. They still play in itunes. Is there way to get them to sync? Help please!!!

They backed up the files but you need to authorize the computer again.

I received a gift card and when I redeemed it an error message said that I had some itunes files missing and that I needed to reinstall itunes. Will I still have all my credits when I download itunes?

I received an online gift card for Father's Day. When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes. Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes?

You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

I want to transfer my iTunes files to a separate hard drive

I have iTunes stored on my desktop PC. It is the one that I have, so far, stored all iTunes music on. I wanted to transfer these songs to a separate hard drive to free up space on my computer's hard drive. I felt I needed to install iTunes on the separate hard drive which I did today. I then thought I could just find the same type of folder on the separate hard drive that was on the PC but that was not the case so I created a "regular" folder on the hard drive and copied all of the files over. It appears that the files successfully got copied but the screen display does not look the same as it does when I open my PC iTunes and open a music folder from there.
What is the best way for me to copy the files over so I can then delete them from my PC with the assurity that I will not have done something that I will later regret ... such as rendering these copied files as ones I cannot burn to a disc, etc.

Changing the setting as to where to store media will indeed put the media files (but not the rest of the iTunes library files) on the external drive as long as the user also selects to organize the media to the NAS. If you don't do that, iTunes will only store new media there from that time on.
I would not recommend keeping only media on the NAS. As I said, NAS can have issues with iTunes and some of the longest topics I have seen here are how to rebuild a library after for some reason the library file on the Mac computer has lost the link information to the media files stored on a NAS. Some things such as date added, play count, and ratings are only stored in the library file and may be lost if you have to rebuild your library file.
I guess for me the only iTunes reason for having a NAS would be to do direct sharing of the library rather than having to use Home Sharing. Direct sharing of the library intact requires placing all the iTunes files on the NAS. If you're going to do Home Sharing you might as well opt for a a cheaper, more stable, plain external hard drive.

Bought a MBA and am trying to keep iTunes files on an external hard drive. Having problems.

Hi, I bought a MBA 13" and want to keep my iTunes files on an external hard drive to save space.However, I keep running into problems. I can't get the iTunes Media folder to stay on the folder in my external hard drive. Whenever I unplug it, regardless if iTunes is open or not, it changes back to the media file on the MBA. I tried renaming the media folder and deleting it, but the computer just makes another if I do that and then ends up deleting my whole library, forcing me to load it all back from my hard drive. Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks.

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

Error message when trying to open iTunes files.

I just began having the problem of an error message appearing...
... if I double-click on an iTunes audio file mp3, m4a, etc. or even drag the file directly on to the iTunes application icon.
I did a rebuild of LaunchServices and rebooted but the message still will appear unless the file is opened from an iTunes playlist.
Yet the file plays in iTunes... but the error message is still there and has to be dismissed.
Whereas if I open the same file(s) via the playlist... I get no error message and the file(s) play fine.
Also if I drag the files on to QuickTime 10.0 they play fine without displaying an error message.
Though the error message indicates it's a link problem... from the above... I don't see how it can possibly be since even dragging an audio file directly on to the iTunes application icon still results in the error message appearing.
I only discovered this today when downloading Piezo and I attempted to open the m4a files it saved. So I then tried to open other iTunes files in Finder windows rather than the iTunes playlist window and had the error message appear again.
I don't want to have to add every audio file to an iTunes playlist in order to open it without the error message so can someone please suggest a fix?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well I solved my problem.
What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
If you don't already know how here are the steps...
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

How do I back up my Itunes files?

My computer hard drive is crashing and I really need to back up my itunes files. How do I do this??? I put the music on my flash drive, but it is not big enough to hold anything else... I have other places I can save stuff... How do I save apps and other stuff and how do I know that everything in my Itunes is safely backed up? And how do I get it all back into Itunes when my new hard drive is installed? Any and all help is apprieciated. Thank you!

The easiest way is to just copy your entire iTunes folder (in My Music in your user's folder) to some other place. Then you can just copy it back to the same location when your drive is replaced and Windows reinstalled and set up.
Regards.
