Finder/iTune naming relationship

I'm having some difficulty understanding how iTunes and Finder correlate file naming structure.
Here are two situations I've experienced.
Copy CD to hard drive via Finder.
Change those file names to something I like.
Open iTunes, and use 'Add to Library'.
The names within iTunes were the original names copied from the CD, not the names I changed them to.
Using a software program to split a song into segments, and then save those segaments as individual files. The progam called these files 'Marker_XX.ma4.
These files were renamed using Finder to names I liked.
Open iTunes, and use 'Add to Library'.
The names withing iTunes all had the original file names 'Marker_XX.ma4, not the names I gave them in Finder.
It appears as though a file name is written into the header of the file, and that is what iTunes uses for it's file name.

Open iTunes. Insert CD. The CD will load into iTunes and show you track names, artist name and album name. Change them to the way you want them. Then use iTunes to import the CD. It's so easy.
Do everything for iTunes IN iTunes. No need to go messing with the hard drive.

  • Open itunes get error message, can't find iTunes folder! & doesn't open!

    Hi, I have Downloaded iTunes but it some how has installed itself onto a USB pen drive that I had connected at the time. I have unplugged this and downloaded iTunes again...which seemed to go ok but when I click the iTunes icon an error message appears ' Cannot find iTunes folder, this is normally located in the My Music Folder' and will not open iTunes. I plug the USB pen in and it works fine! I have tried to copy & paste the files on the USB pen but it doesn't copy them properly...can anyone help?

    Hello mvguillet,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

    How do I delete an associated device in iTunes) namely my iphone 6 (8.1) I am using an imac with Yosemeti

    Howdy nzh50,
    It sounds like you have a device associated in iTunes with your Apple ID that you would like to remove from your account. This article should help you out there:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
    To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu. 
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
    Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • I am trying to update iTunes on my IMB Thinkpad laptop...keep getting a message that itunes can't find iTunes.msi

    I installed iTunes a couple of years ago....have lots of songs, purchase more all the time....and run an i phone, i pad and i pod....I use the ipod for music only.  Trying to update the iTunes, which it asks me to do when I open up iTunes on my laptop....I go to update, and it can't get all the way thru....stops and gives me that message saying it can't find iTunes.msi or something about the pathway to it...how do I fix that?

    Hello Rneufeld,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes.  I recommend trying to download the update directly from our site.
    You can download the latest version of iTunes here:
    Download iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you are still not able to install the update, I recommend using the steps in this article and selecting iTunes in step 8:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert when removing Apple software in Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3704
    Once you have it removed, try installing iTunes again using the link above.

  • Magic Mouse - Two Finger Swipe not working in Finder + iTunes

    Hello,
    since OSX 10.8 I realized that in Finder & iTunes the backward/forward navigation has stopped working with Magic Mouse (two-finger-swipe gesture).
    I have already read a lot of forums as well as apple-discussions and didn't find a solution apart from MagicPrefs or any other 3rd-party-app.
    Is that a bug or just not meant to work? Does anybody know why Apple stopped providing this - very useful - gesture?
    Thank you for your time and have a perfect day
    Sascha

    Pual_31 suggested good advise...
    I would also recommend if that does not work, to reboot and run "repair permissions" from Disk Utilities.
    Also might suggest downloading and trying MagicPrefs, it's a free program for the Magic Mouse and it really works great. May help with your problem, may not but I'd give it a try.

  • We are unable to find iTunes on your computer.  (iPhone)

    Trying to test in-app purchasing, so logged out of App Store, and now I cant log back in.
    I have connectivity, because I can browse web. My App Store account is still correct, because I can successfully log in using my iPad.
    The error message I get on my iPhone screen is weird, it says:
    *One Moment Please.*
    *Connecting to the iTunes Store.*
    Loading...
    *We are unable to find iTunes on your computer.*
    *[I have iTunes] [Download iTunes]*
    *If iTunes doesnt open, click the iTunes aplication login in Dock or Windows Task Bar.*

    Suddenly, I have fixed this problem by download a free apps from the link refer to. Now my App Store / iTunes Store in my iPhone has been recovered. Very strange!

  • I can no longer find iTunes on my PC

    I can no longer find iTunes on my PC and can't find where to download a new copy.  I used to be able to sync with my computer, but since the introduction of icloud I no longer get the itunes app for syncing when I plug my phone into my PC.  I only have 25 songs accessible through my iphone, but have hundreds on my computer.  I would like to know how to be able to access that music from my iphone or ipad

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes

    I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes, and Itunes can't find my Ipad. [email protected]

    Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
    Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
    1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
    A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
    B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
    C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent  iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
    2.  Connect your iPad to your computer -
    A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
    B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
    C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
    D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
    E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
    F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
    NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

  • I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi.

    I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi. I have tried removing  the old version in add/remove programs, but it says the same error. I tried deleting every thing that has itunes in the file/folder/etc and it didn't help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes wont open, says it can't find iTunes folder

    My itunes keeps crashing and then it says it can't find itunes folder when i try to reeopen it. I moved the files to a external hard drive but ive moved them back and it still wont work. Ive tried reinstalling it, etc.

  • HT1926 my itunes will not update due to an error message saying cannot find itunes.msi

    I need help to resolve the fact that my computer will not update. It gives me a message about 95% way through the update that it cannot find itunes.msi and I also went to just uninstall the program completely off my computer and it gives me the same message. Help please!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Lion 10.7.4 Console: Could not find image named 'ForwardArrow'.

    I found following message presented in syslog since today evening, however, the system is running fine so far.
    12-5-22 下午10:25:44.345 Console: Could not find image named 'BackArrow'.
    12-5-22 下午10:25:44.345 Console: Could not find image named 'ForwardArrow'.
    could someone to explain what was caused this error message? and how can I solve the problem

    It could mean that these two files are missing from the Console.app, where it should go into the folder Resources of the folder Contents. For some reasons, they don't seem to get installed with Lion under certain circumstances.
    Right-click Console.app (in the Applications/Utilties folder) and open those folders, then copy the two files BackArrow.png and ForwardArrow.png into the Resources folder).
    On my machines, this helped the messages go away (end even stopped some sporadic freezing :-)
    I just took the corresponding files from the Console.app of my previous Snow Leopard installation (same place).

  • IPlanet plugin for WebLogic not working - cannot find function named wl_init

    Hi,
    I have been having this issue for the last two days. It relates to
    IPlanet plugin for WbLogic. Following is the error I get:
    [17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] config ( 2069): func_exec reports: cannot find
    function named wl_init [17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] failure ( 2069):
    Configuration initialization failed: Error running init function
    wl_init: unknown error
    Here is my environment:
    SUN E-250 Server
    Solaris 8.0 with recommended Patch-set
    iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP4
    Web logic 7 SP2
    Here is how I have edited magnus.conf to include the following lines:
    Init fn="load-modules"
    shlib="/usr/iplanet/servers/plugins/lib/libproxy.so" func
    s="wl_proxy,wl_init" Init fn="wl_init"
    #ServerRoot /usr/iplanet/servers/https-cablevision5
    ..... rest of the file ..........
    As you have noticed I have put everything regrding plugin in one line.
    I have also used various other combinations of breaking this line
    into multiple lines but no use.
    What I have also noticed is that if I change the name of libproxy.so
    to some other arbitrary file name that does not exist, even then the
    error message does not change. So it looks like the library is not
    even being loaded.
    The library file is owned by root and has permissions to read and
    execute for everyone.
    I will really appreciate is I can get any help. I have noticed that
    there are folks who have posted similar problem, no one gave an answer
    to them. Please be more generous this time in furnishing with your
    opinion.
    Thanks

    I will try and be as descriptive as possible. I hate the posts that
    dont give any help.
    Anyway you did not mention anything about your obj.conf configuration.
    Here is how it should look, e.g.:
    Init fn="load-modules" funcs="wl-proxy,wl-init"\
    shlib=/usr/local/netscape/plugins/libproxy.so
    Init fn="wl-init"
    <Object name="weblogic" ppath="*/weblogic/*">
    Service fn=wl-proxy WebLogicHost=myweblogic.server.com\
    WebLogicPort=7001 PathTrim="/weblogic"
    </Object>
    Check the following url:
    http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html
    Ok,so you probably have those in there. If not, then please check
    that you have directives in obj.conf and the magnus.conf as well.
    Again the service line should be all one line.
    Next, are you proxying by path or by suffix. I.E. do you want
    everything to go to weblogic or just .jsp. You can configure either
    way. This will change your directive. Specifically ppath means proxy
    by path. To proxy by file extension (or what i call suffix) then look
    at this url for specifics:
    http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html#exts (notice the
    anchor in the link)
    Post how it goes...
