How can I delete files from iTunes AND my hard drive? It used to be very obvious in iTunes but I no longer see that option.

I used to easily be able to delete songs from my hard drive and library through iTunes but I no longer see that option. Is there a way to do that or a workaround of some kind?

Are these songs in the iTunes media folder shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced?
Only songs in this location will be deleted from the HD when delting from iTunes.
Also, iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Click Reset Warnings.
If you are deleting from a playlist, it will only delete from that playlist.
Hold Shift and press Delete to remove from the playlist and from the library.

  • How can I transfer files from my macbook pro hard drive to another target drive

    The hard drive on my Macbook is corrupted and so I am trying back up files from the hard drive on my Macbook to a target disc so that I can wipe the hard drive on my Macbook and re-install the system software. I am only able to access the Macbook via disc utilities using the start up system DVD. Is there a way of accessing the files while I'm in disc utilities so that I can transfer to the target disc?

    Some MacBooks have Firewire, while others do not.  See this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2502
    If both of yours have Firewire, you can use the Target Disk mode described at the end of the tip.  Otherwise, you'll need to pull the hard drive out of the machine that it is in, and put it in a 2.5" hard drive case that supports the ports that are on the other machine.
    Note, if you can't read the data on the other machine, using a data recovery tool to a hard drive at least as large with no data on it is recommended.  This tip explains how to do data recovery:

  • How can I transfer files from an old PC hard drive to my Mac?

    I have an old PC from which I removed the hard drive.  It is an old WD 40 circa 2001.  I would like to transfer all my old documents and pictures to my IMAC.  I obtained a USB Universal drive adapter from OWC, but I can't get my IMAC to recognize the drive.  Can anyone help me.

    It just doesn't recognize the drive.  Will the first solution you provided work?  The drive has been physically removed from the PC.
    It should work with your Mac.  If you have access to a PC, plug it in and see if it can be read, and if so just copy the files to a flash drive to transfer to your Mac (Better than spending your day trying to get your Mac to read it for a 1 time transfer of files)
    The problem could very well be that the adaptor you got from OWC is defective.

  • Where can I find the Start up disk and how can I delete file from it.

    where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
    How can I delete files from it?

    The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA.  You may delete files by draging the file  to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete).  Then empty Trash.

  • How can I delete files from My Mac Book Pro safely to create more space?

    Hi,
    I need to delete files from my Mac Book Pro and I am not sure how to do it safely without affecting my computers drivers or operations.
    In my Finder - All Files Section there are certain files in the Preview, marked as "PNG Image", Window Image, GIF image, XLM. when I look at them they seem scripted or sections of an image. How do I know which files are safe to remove
    I seem to find a lot of duplicated files - is there a way of stopping this from happening?
    Thanks from a little frustrated Mac Book user.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
    If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

  • How can I delete files in Diagnostics and Usage on my IPad?

    My IPad has very little space left.  I have deleted everything I can but notice there are files in Diagnostics and Usage.  How can I delete those files to free up space?

    By the way, those files in diagnostics and usage are probably not your problem, but the restore is the right step to take to solve your real problem.
    The problem is that you likely have corrupt files on your iPad caused likely by suspicious apps.  Restoring your iPad from a backup may help.  If not, restore as new, then sync your items back to your iPad very carefully and consider removing suspicious apps.
    Also check Settings > General > Usage to see if your expectations are met.

  • How to play flac files from a Maxtor external hard drive

    Trying to use an old mac mini PPC to play music from a Maxtor external hard drive. Files are flac format. Would like to move files to iTunes library individually or by album or ideally only when I want to play them. Am not that accustomed to using a Mac, just finding my way around...flac file conversion
    is possible for this old mac or do I need to download some freeware?

    If you want to convert your FLAC files (I would recommend to Apple Lossless format) then have a look at the free XLD software.
    See http://tmkk.pv.land.to/xld/index_e.html
    Apple Lossless format is the same exact quality as FLAC, roughly the same file size but works natively in iTunes and on Apple's iPod/iPhone/iPad devices. It can also be played in most Windows applications including Windows Media Player if you add the right plugins or codecs. Apple Lossless is a free open-source format now, just like FLAC.

  • How can I Delete files from LTR5 to move to Trash On OS 10.8.4?

    my set up is
    mac 0s 10.8.4 using mac book pro 2.7 GHZ with 16GB having Lacie usb 3 thunderbolt external drive storing photos and LTR 5 catalogue to do my LTR processing of 24 mg files from D600 SLR
    I have the LTR5 installed and am using it only to find out cannot move file(s) to Trashcan( MAC latest version) that doesn’t support the volume I have the photo files in. LTR5 only will permanently delete them via LTR5 only . Its an annoying step to rid the file – Is this a Bug? LTR 4 moves file(s) directly to Trash with no issues. The other LTR versions had no problem .
    I don’t recall LTR5Beta having this issue when trying to move file to trash. I was beta tester .
    LTR dialogue also says , file could not be moved to Trash folder as volume isnt supported . I have checked all preference panes to see if i can open up the trash to LTR5 discarded Files from my lacie drive where they are stored  . Often I'll move  files to trash then retrieve later from trash to import back into catalogue.
    It was suggested trying new “test” catalogue .So. I created new catalogue which acted same way; failure to move files to trash.
    As result , I have created a ” new” Trash folder within LTR5 to move discarded Files into temporary holding space; then, empty the folder contents within LTR5 as needed.
    It’s awkward , inefficient . But, it is a temporary solution in holding files until  its decided to permanently delete files. This is a short term solution till Issue is corrected.
    Does anyone else have this problem? Suggestions? 

    Thank you for sharing this thread #Post 31. Ill try permissions tweaking and see of that works .
    This was a first for me being a beta tester for LTR5 . I do  wonder when I bought the  upgrade and Downloaded LTR5  that bug  appeared  beacuse of being a beta tester .
    Trying to rule out all sorts of things here :
    Wonder if  doing a  an uninstall  and doing a reinstall will help?  Would it be a realistic painless step?
    Yesterday I worked on LTR editing files from Hard drive  many hours with bug active .
    Then all of sudden it was working ( Th1s is 3rd time its happened). If I close LTR5 then reopen later bug  appears again. I cant yet isolate the cause for  files to move and be trashed normallly!  Earlier I have trashed prefs .  Also,creating test catalogues didnt work . Tried other older drives; that failed. Will try internal drive.
    LTR 4 and earlier was bugfree so this is first time i have encountered a stubborn bug . Its as bad as mosquitoes buzzing.
    Wonder if the reinstall is best guaranteed solution other than uncheck my permissions.?
      I really appreciate the info from thread 31. Thank you .
      I'll get the bug booted.

  • How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

    I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks.  How can I open those files?

    Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
    LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.
