How can I add an entire music folder to my library on the new iTunes?

When I click on the little box on the upper left corner, the only adding option I see is "Add File to Library", and what I want to do is add the entire folder in which I keep all my music.

You can drag a folder in as before, or turn on the menu bar with Ctrl-b, or make it appear temporarily with Alt.

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
    Best iPod to PC
    However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer.

  • HT1473 How can I add a whole music folder to my iTunes v11

    Hi,
    I just reformat my laptop (OS: Windows 7 pro) and I lost all the songs, albums, and playlist listed on iTunes. I do have all the songs backed up in my external hard drive, now my problem is how can I add songs back to the iTunes by folder? Before in the previous versions of iTunes, it used to have a option to "add folder to library" or something like that. Now there is no option like that, and all I can see now is "add file to library". If I use this method, it will take up so much time to do it.
    help please
    thank you!

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
    The two entries in red will give you access to File > Add folder to library.

    How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

    "Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

  • How do I find total number of songs in my library in the new iTunes 11?

    Last version of iTunes showed the total number of songs within the library on the bottom of the screen.  Now that's disappeared and I don't know where to find that piece of info.
    Any suggestions?

    Click View>Show Sidebar
    It looks about like the old version.
    Or you can simply click your ipod name at the top of your screen and sync as always.
    The new version is not that different from the old one

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
    generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account.

    i-devices are intended to by synced with iTunes (iTunes --> device), not transfer things to iTunes.  For transferring songs from i-device to computer see commercial software utilities (with the exception of iTunes purchases).

  • I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer

    I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer so i can put all the music on my new one.
    The guy at att told me that icloud would sync everything i had in my notes, calendar, and text messages to my new phone, but it only synced some of my notes, none of my messages, or calendar info.

    Your music will only be where you put it.  It will not magically appear on a new computer.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    If for some reason you cannot do this, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an iphone:  Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    You can also redownload itunes purchases from icloud in some countires:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
