How can I completely remove music files from my mac? (sorry if repost)

I am currently enjoying a 15' MacBook Pro (Mac Os X 10.6.4) and have upgraded to Itunes 10. Recently, I decided to delete all my music files and start over. To avoid duplicate files I followed the advice on this link - (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224) ; However, when I downloaded Itunes 10 again, my music was still there. Please help! I really want to start with a clean slate and have the peace of mind, knowing that there are no hidden music files on my mac taking up space. Looking forward to some great help.

Why? Much easier to clean up what you do have.

That simply removes the iTunes application. It will not remove any of the library or media files.
All the media files and library files are in /Music/iTunes/ folder.

Do you have these music files stored elsewhere? You do not get to redownload any iTunes store purchases.

How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

Dr. P,
Song files are just files. You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

how can i completely delete the message app from my mac?

As per email.
Hi,
In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
Navigate to the Preferences folder.
Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
On the iPhone.
Go to Settings > Messages and check the app is ON first.
Then check the Send and Receive Section.
This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
(I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
Please stick to one method of asking me (The thread will do for now.)
I am here 3 hours every evening.
I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that. (The Status Message one will not)
You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font is the answer.

How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

hello,
I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
Another issue.
Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
Please advise,
Have a great day!!
Brandon

A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

How can I delete all music files from my iPhone and start again?

I rebuilt my iTunes library. I was under the impression that the first post-rebuild sync would erase all media from my iPhone.
Under the Summary tab in iTunes, I checked Sync only checked songs and videos, and in my music list all songs are unchecked.
Under the Music tab in iTunes, I checked Sync Music, and because all my songs are unchecked it shows 0 songs.
However, after syncing, the status bar at the bottom of the Music tab still shows all my songs previously loaded as taking up memory, and when I open the Music app on my iPhone all those songs are still listed (although they are not playable).
How can I clear everything out and start from scratch?

How can I transfer the music files from my iTunes ver: 9.0.? on my external hard drive to my new laptop with the latest version of iTunes?

A few years ago I had copied my iTunes, ver:9.0.?, from my old laptop tom my external hard drive. The music on it was already loaded onto my other devices. My old computer crashed andI bought a new one, put iTunes on it and kept it updated. The problem is I forgot to keep the iTunes on my ecternal hatd drive updated. I tried to open the external hard drive iTunes but received a error with something to the effect that there was a newwerversion of iTune. I was hoping to either put the external Itunes music on my device. How can I go about that now?

Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

How can I completely remove OSX Server from my Mavericks installation?

I moved OSX Server and the Server file from the system Library but Server still controls my File sharing with my Sonos app. It will not let my Sonos app access my music folder.

Perhaps there is a more correct way to uninstall server but just in case there isn't, if you remove this file and restart that should stop the server.

How can I completely remove Java JRE from my system?

Hi,
the installation of an earlier version of JRE didn't finish properly (1.5.??), since then it isn't possible at all neither to deinstall it nor to install ANY version (stops on extraction of the installation files, the process must be killed by the task manager!). It seems as if there are some incorrect statements left in the registry.
When I try to install the latest version, it stops with a "missing version information" error.
Is there any possibility to remove ALL statements belonging to Java out of the registry without doing it manually, so that I can install the latest version? Or does anyone of you have a better idea?
THX,
Christian
Edited by: ChrizzLee on Oct 22, 2007 12:32 PM

If the uninstaller has already lost some files, it will be diffcult to uninstall properly from Add/remove programs. Its better to remove the entry from registry.Actually you can do it safe without much problem.If no other versions of java are installed, delete the javasoft key (entire tree)from LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE. Then reinstall jdk.It should splve the problem

How can I completely remove a game from my app store account?

Ive tried all the different methods I can find of deleting/mark as hidden but I keep getting annoying weekly updates come through. I dont like the game and will never play it but it seems without starting a new Apple ID and losing everything I have paid for on iPhone and Mac Im stuck with a continual App Store badge icon for a game I dont want.

I gave in and installed the update but it still showed as an update. I installed the same update 3 times and it still show as an available update so I gave up. Guess Ill have to put up with it for a few months and hope Mountain Lion has an App Store that works properly.

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
Hope that helps.

I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

how can i completely remove a credit card from my apple id?

Hi Craig,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Using the steps from the article above (iTunes Store: Changing your payment information), you should be able to select "None" as your payment method. This will remove your credit card from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID).
Changing your payment information using an iOS device
Tap Settings on the Home screen.
Tap iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID. (If you aren't signed in, enter your Apple ID and password and tap Sign In.)
Tap View Apple ID.
Enter your Apple ID password.
In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
Update the information that you want to change.
Note: You can find the payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts in the Payment Type section. If you don't want a payment method on your account, select None in the Payment Type section.
Best Regards,
Jeremy
