Get all my music into one place for iTunes to 'see'

I have moved from PC to iMac and have 2TB of music on a Western Digital (WD) external drive. Most of them are in folders named by Artist etc. When I started using iTunes on my PC, it created a 'Music' folder on the WD drive. Some of my music is now there and some is still outside the 'Music' folder. I understand I cannot 'drag and drop' files to where I want them. Now, for some reason iTunes only references some of the music - even if it is inside the 'Music' folder. I am getting a bit fed up of wanting to play, say, Stevie Wonder and finding that I have to manually 'Add Stevie to Library' to get him into iTunes; whereas my girlfriend's a-Ha albums are already smugly sitting in the iTunes library (unplayed, I might add)
So I have music in the WD drive; I also have a sub-folder within the WD drive called 'Music', originallly created by iTunes on PC (this contains most of my music). However, iTunes is only 'seeing' the tracks that it feels like. I have the 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' box ticked; as is the box for 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library'. I think I could probably hit the 'Add to Libary' button and re-add the entire collection but I think that is time consuming to process and will result in lots of duplicates which I'll then have to delete.
Is there a (relatively) straightforward way I can re-initiate iTunes into find ALL of the music on my WD drive and get it to stick it where it wants to stick it (if you'll pardon the terminology)
Many thanks!

Hi Atticus,
The problem is not that iTunes doesn't "see" the music; the problem is that iTunes doesn't "look" for music until manually prompted to do so.
The best approach would be exactly what you suggest, which is to use the Add Folder to Library function, or the simpler (but perfectly equivalent) approach of dragging the folder into the open iTunes Music window.
iTunes has certain built-in safeguards to reduce the creation of duplicates, which are not perfect but will certainly help. Start with a few folders and you will see how it behaves, and then you can do all the rest.
whereas my girlfriend's a-Ha albums are already smugly sitting in the iTunes library
That must be quite eye-opening for people who think they only did one song. ;-)

How can I combine all of my music into one folder for itunes

I have a PC running windows XP I have just bought a IPad 3 and I am trying to consolidate all my music into one folder on one drive so that the sync does not have a problem finding many tracks every time I connect my IPad please can anyone help.
Kind Regards
Derek

Hi Derek. Do you know where your active iTunes library is? If not download & run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
I'm interested in the values of the first four lines. If needed you can hide your username with <User> if it's in there. Also worth checking that media folder location given by the script agrees with Edit > Preferences > Advanced. If not, let me know.
Which of your drives has the most free space? Ideally you should move your current library to that drive as X:\iTunes (when X: is the drive letter) and then consolidate all your existing content that wasn't inside the current iTunes Media folder. I can descibe what to do on a generic basis but with the details I can produce a step-by-step guide that will be easier to follow.

How do I get all my music in one place?

I'm not sure how this happened but I have music in two different place on my macbook, under Applicaitons and also under "___" (the name of my macbook). Itunes is only recognizing the music in one location. The rest of the music I get "file not found".

Hi MonkeyIsland2013,
You can use the Consolidate iTunes Library function to do this:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

TS3212 All your music in one place. This is what's showing when I downloaded the new itunes but will not go any further. Have been here for 20 minutes? Do I need to start over? Or is there something else I can do to get to so I can click next for the

I've been trying to down load the new itunes version and I'm stuck on All your music in one place but now it's been stuck there for over 20 minutes. Do I need to start over or is this normal?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

How do i get all my music in one library file?

My entire iTunes library is on an external hard drive "A". Due to my Powermac G5 dying, I had to set up iTunes on my Macbook Pro. I used Senuti to transfer all my music and content from my iPod to a different external drive I will call "B". Once that was set up, I erased and synced my iPod again. Everything is fine with the iPod and my Apple TV. In the iTunes preferences, I clicked Advanced and changed where I wanted my library to reside. I selected the new location which is drive "B".
My question now is that when I click on my iTunes Music folder, I am only showing 269 items which is a mixture of music and video content. I have well over 1,300 songs not to mention 87 music videos and 60 podcast videos. So when I did a search to see where a lot of my songs were located, I was surprised that it was showing the songs were being housed on external drive "A" even though I set it up that I want drive "B" to be where my library file should be. So as a test, I disconnected drive "A" then opened iTunes and tried to play a certain song and it said it couldn't play the song because the original file could not be found. When I reconnected the drive, it played just fine.
So what do I need to do to get all my music on one hard drive, for me that would be drive "B"? Do I need to follow the steps in the article below to make that happen? I have no problem with having a back up of my library, I just want all my music in one place in the location I have specified and keep the back up on the other drive so I won't have to keep it connected to the computer.
Thanks

How do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

how do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

Hi,
You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.

Putting ALL my music into one single drive, from multiple drives & machines

It serves me right, but I have created a wild mess of various instances of iTunes on various machines, with some music purchased and some from ripped CDs. I also haven't used the ipod much, until only recently, so most of my collections have been bound to my MBP and G5. My backup procedure is a worst practice method of just cooying stuff from one drive to another and occasionally buying new hard drives. Now that I have plenty of drive space, the only problem will be logistics. I'm using Tidy Up to locate duplicate files but that only gets me part of the way there.
Ideal scenario is locate all the "music" folders from various users in my household and various hard drives and eliminate the duplicate files. Then I just create one massive music folder, and point iTunes to that folder and all the music will magically be in iTunes. Something tells me it's not that simple, especially when you have music by artist > album > song in iTunes. I also have this crazy idea that I'll have that one big drive of music hooked up to my Airport Extreme and I cam listen to it on various machines throughout the house. (Didn't Apple say I could do this one day??)
So to summarize:
Can I just let iTunes do the work of organizing all the music? Will it also delete duplicates? (I'm assuming Tidy Up will be the thing for that.)
Can I hang the drive off my Airport router and access that in that special AirTunes way?
Hope that makes sense....please go easy. I'm just an idiot with a lotta hard drives....
Lee

I guess I can reply to my own post. I wanted to add that, although I see a lot of similar posts about organizing with iTunes, I don't see one as complex as my scenario. Unless I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance, O Great Apple Discussion Board People.....

When I had my ipod I used my dad's computer. I then lost my ipod and moved. I have my moms old laptop.I logged into my account and synced this computer but there is no music in the library. How do I get all my music back I bought on itunes.

I need help. I would like to get all my music back. Thank you

For what silly reason would someone expect media to magically appear simply because they signed into iTunes?
Media is only where the user puts it.
Either copy the media from the old computer (or it's backup) to the new computer or download past purchases from iTunes.

I am trying to gather all of my music into one place, but it is scattered throughout my computer and external hard drive, how can I put it all in one folder and then create one library off of it?

My first problem is that I need to get all of my music files in one folder, they are scattered throughout my computer and external hard drive and I am trying to get them all together. Afterwards I want to send this music to my microsd hard in my Samsung Galaxy s4, is there a way to proceed through this? Or at least one part of it?

Consolidate your iTunes Library
As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card. This has nothing to do with iTunes.

When i import a compilation cd how do i get all the tracks into one album in the music library. They are currently listed as individual tracks or albums.

When I import a compilation CD the tracks list as individual albums. How can I get them consolidated into one album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For a compilation use Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab of Get Info.
For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How to have all my music in one place!!

Hi All
My itunes is in a mess!! My original computer broke and the itunes library had some of my cd collection as well as purchases from itunes. I cannot find the back-up discs from this original library, it is however on my old ipod (which hasn't been synched for over a year!!). Before the computer broke, I installed a couple of my favourite playlists onto my iphone (but not my entire music library). I have been making new purchases from the same account name and password as I have always had but obviously on itunes re-installed onto a new laptop. These new tunes have been synched to my iphone and I have recently upgraded my iphone software after backing it all up etc.
When I tried to sync tonight, my iphone said that i had to erase and sync my library as i wanted to transfer new purchases onto it - i did this as there was no other choice! I have lost my fav playlists and only have recent purchases in my itunes library on the laptop. i tried to sync my ipod which has my entire library minus recent purchases on it and it says that it is linked to another library and cannot transfer into my itunes - I have never had a different itunes account!! I would like all my music together but now have half on one device and the other half on the other! Is there a way I can merge the 2 together as i thought you could run 2 devices off one account - have tried thru' homesharing but not sure if that's the right way???
Thanks in advance
Anna

How do I get all the songs into one album when it's various artisits?

I have several albums that are made up of various artists, not just one. How do I get all the artists under the one heading of the album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For compilations use Various Artists and also got the options tab and set Part of a compilation to Yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Account in 2 different countries - How do i get all my music in ONE device?

I lived in Portugal and started my first Itunes account there with a portuguese credit card. purchased music etc..
Then moved to the US and changed my credit card and billing address and started purchasing stuff on the American stroe.
i was able to have it all untill the day i updagraded my IPHone 4S to IOS 7.0.3, i for some reason now cannot get the songs i bought using the portuguese store/credit card. and when i try to change stores to see if i can retrieve it, it says i cannot change to a different store either.
Do you think if i chance my credit card and billing address back to my portuguese one, then i can retrieve my music, save it and then put it all back to the US detials?
Hope to hear something positive
thanks
Silvia

You will only be able to redownload your Portuguese purchases if you return to Portugal and have a Portuguese billing address on your account - content is tied to the country as well as the acocunt, and you need to be in a country to use its store.
Do you not have a copy of all of your downloads/library on a backup ?

I have an ipod nano, and an HP laptop. I've purchased music from the itunes store, as well as down loaded most of my cd's to the library. My question is: how do I get all this music into my Samsung smart phone?

I've spent the last 6 months purchasing from the istore and downloading CD's to my library, in preparation for a 6000km cruiser trip on my motorcycle this summer. Only to find out that I cannot download from itunes to my Samsung smart phone. Does anyone know why, or does anyone know how? I called Mac tech support and they told me it cannot be done, I have to purchase an iphone. Please help, I've got 2000 songs for the trip and a bluetooth headset in my helmet. I own an ipod nano full of the same songs, but of course Mac made it so you cannot blue tooth a nano, so I have to use my phone.
Thanks ahead of time!
PS Keep your instructions rather simple though please, I'm 60 yrs old!

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.
