Error: Deleted Tunes from Folder and Substitution of Old Tunes!

I surf Itunes evaluating songs I am considering buying. When I find one, I transfer the 30-second clip to a folder designated TOP TUNES. At the end of the week, I listen to the collection and make purchases. Two days ago, I opened Itunes and saw an error message--but didn't understand it and ignored it. When I started surfing Itunes for potential songs to buy and found one, I transferred it as usual to TOP TUNES. When I looked in the folder, instead of seeing a list of about 100 songs I had not purchased, I saw a listing of 50 songs I had ALREADY purchased! I can not find the list of all the songs I spend hours surfing which were potential purchases for me. Itunes should be very concerned about this since WHEN I DON'T HAVE MY CUSTOM LIST FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE TO MAKE MY PURCHASES.... I DO NOT BUY ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This ONE folder "TOP TUNES" was the ONLY folder affected. I believe that a copy of this folder or of the original information in that folder is still on my computer somewhere. Has anyone else experienced this?

It is hard to tell what is going on from what you say, but one observation:
If iTunes saved purchased music in the Top Tunes folder, it suggest that it somehow go made you iTunes Muisc folder - the folder iTunes uses to store new music.
To check, go to Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General. You will see the location of the designated iTunes Music folder at the top.
As for finding you clips, if you can remeber the name of one of them you could use Windows search, or even a general Windows search for music files/files with the appropriate extension. Also check your recyle bin.
BTW I notice you have put your operating system as irrelevant. It can actually be quite important when trouble shooting.

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

  • Delete file from folder only (not from list)

    Hi all,
    I've searched a lot and didn't succeed so far, that's why I need your help. In a cloud context, I'm actually creating and uploading files (pdf and/or xml files) "on the go" to sharepoint folders via the SOAP API and this is perfectly working. But
    in a cloud context, I also need to decomission services which is translated into deleting files into Sharepoint.
    That's where it became complicated, because according to the API we cannot delete files if they are not part of a list structure, which is not my case. Is that true ?
    The only info I have when trying to delete a file via the SOAP Api is : its name, its folder, and the endpoint where the folder is. So my question remains simple I guess : is this possible ? If so, how to (a link to the SOAP body would be usefull)
    Thanks a lot
    Regards
    Baptiste

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to delete file from folder.
    In SharePoint 2010, It is recommended to use Client Object Model to achieve it, the following code snippet for your reference:
    string siteURL = "http://siteurl";
    ClientContext context = new ClientContext(siteURL);
    //specific user
    NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
    context.Credentials = credentials;
    Web web = context.Web;
    context.Load(web);
    context.ExecuteQuery();
    string relativeUrl =web.ServerRelativeUrl +"/DocumentLibraryName/FolderName/FileName";
    File file = web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(relativeUrl);
    context.Load(file);
    file.DeleteObject();
    context.ExecuteQuery();
    If you still want to use SOAP API, we can use the UpdateListItems method under Lists web service to achieve it.

    Redundant folders created in root of C drive of server and Client . I want to stop the same and want to automatically delete them from server and client .
    Please let me know the solution to delete them not manually . It should not create automatically .Is there a way we can change the path of creation.
    Is there a way that once the folfer is create should be automatically deleted once the task is done.

  • Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

    Can I batch delete photos from iPad and if so how?

    I would add that if you don't want to delete the photos from your computer and want them off your iPad, then (1) create a duplicate folder of the photos to be deleted on your computer (select the folder, then cmd-D), (2) rename the duplicate to something else (thus retaining your computer's photos under a different name), and (3) opening the original folder--the one that was synced to the iPad originally -- and drag its contents to trash. Don't drag the FOLDER to trash---drag its CONTENTS to trash. Now resync this empty folder to your iPad. The photos on the iPad will go away, but you still have them on your computer. I know this is clunky but it works. It sure your be nice to allow you to delete individual photos from a synced folder on the iPad! (and iPhone)

    I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

    Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
    (When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
    Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
    You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
    Have a nice day!

    I do not believe that your parents will go "spastic" because your iPod was stolen.  I'm thinking that you jailbroke it yourself.  Am I correct?

  • Deleting photos from iphoto and hard drive

    I'm new to macs and have been reading a lot about this subject but I still don't get it.
    When I got this new macbook I dumped all my photos from the old PC onto the new hard drive. When I import photos into iPhoto, I left the advanced tab  "copy items to the iPhoto library" unticked. This I understand means I'm running a referenced library. Now when I want to delete a photo from iPhoto, I must delete it from events and then empty the trash. Should I expect the deleted photo to have been removed form the hard drive location from where it was imported originally since I asked iPhoto not to copy the file?

    This I understand means I'm running a referenced library.
    Correct.
    Now when I want to delete a photo from iPhoto, I must delete it from events and then empty the trash.
    Correct. That removes it from iPhoto.
    Should I expect the deleted photo to have been removed form the hard drive location from where it was imported originally since I asked iPhoto not to copy the file?
    No. When you opted to not copy the file you said, in effect, "I want to do my own file management". So that means you get the files from the camera yourself, decide where to store them yourself and now, must delete them yourself.
    It's but one of the reasons experienced users recommend against reference libraries.

    They don't go into the Trash. Unless you have a backup prior to the deletion time it's gone.

    Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
    You need to put the files into itunes.
    Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

    Internet Explorer does not exist for the iPad. Obviously Safari will not work. There are other browsers available that can identify as Internet Explorer and one of those might work for you. However, there is really no way to know unless you try one of those browsers.
    iCab Mobile and Atomic will identify as IE, so you could try one of those.

  • I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

    I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

    PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.
