How can i format itunes so that all my music has no gaps when scrolling down from artist to artist
all i want to do is format my itunes so that it doesnt have gaps between artists but just me more like a grid like it used to be. i started using my old ipod again and this is driving me nuts because it makes it hard to organize music. i'm sure there must be some simple button on itunes to reformat things so that its just more of a grid.
Ctrl+J brings up an overlay called View Options. Try tweaking the settings there to see if you can find what you're after.

I have given a laptop to my grandson without deauthorizing itunes. How can I deauthorize itunes on that computer without being in possision of it?
You cannot, nor do you need to until you reach the limit of 5. Then you can deauthorize all and authorize only the machines you choose.

How do I get itunes do find all my music?
iTunes cannot locate multiple files from my library; they have not moved or changed. How do I get itunes do find all my music again. There are over 15,000 songs in my library - about half have an exclamation mark in my playlists.
Hmm, not sure I understand how that might have happened. It seems as if the media folder has been pointed to the wrong level, put in a pre-iTunes 9 layout and then updated. All the <Artist> folders should be moved from iTunes to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Assuming iTunes moved the files around the filenames should be as expected. WMP, for example. might use different character substitutions for illegal characters and can user longer file and folder names. If anything remains broken FindTracks can take up the slack.

how can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?
You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.

I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please
You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

how can i open the file MPEG-2 Video, AC3 on my mac, when its coming from a sony camcorder?
I think those files are Samsung's proprietary format, so only the Samsung software can open and display them. If they do not make their software for OS X, then you are stuck requiring windows.
I thought the DVR itself lets you save as standard avi as the backup file format? -
How do i get itunes to sync all my music between my imac and my macbook?
Hi!
I have all my music stored currently on my imac. With icloud, i was under the impression that all my music would be able to be synced over to my imac for when i am not at home. It seems that any new songs i buy from itunes are synced across and available on both devices but is it possiblt to sync everything across (including things i purchased before icloud)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!The two computers do not sync. It appears that you have successfully enabled automatic downloads for both computers, which is great for new purhases.
For purchases before automatic downloads, you'll have to go get them for each computer. You'll be able to download them all or just the ones not currently in your library. This explains how: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 -
HT3965 How do I change the ID that shows on other people's phones when I call from my iPhone five
How do I change ID that shows on other people's phones when I call from my iPhone5?
my son had this problem. I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone.. They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them. I did. They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon. There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off. I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
I hope this helps. -
When I updated itunes I lost all of my music, I was able to retrieve it from a previous itunes library, but now some artists have all of their songs listed under one "unknown album." Is there a way to separate these songs back into the correct albums? Also, is there a way to make songs that have a featured guest just show up with the rest of the album instead of making a whole new spot for it? Thanks!
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
My I-tunes musics (puerchased and reeorded) were on an old computer that I am changing. How do I transfer all my musics in my Ipod to my new computer?
- You can move the music from the old computer to the new computer by:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
- You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- If in the USA 9iCloud) you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- For non-iTunes purchased music you need a third-party programlike one of those discussed here:

Can anyone help with the above?
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and click the arrow to the left of it, and then use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. -
How can you tell iTunes 7 to ignore other music folders causing duplicates
I just built a new PC and my iTunes library is on a 250 gig disk along with many other folders with music (drum loops, systems sounds, sample content, etc) that I don't want showing up in my iTunes library. Many of the folders contain backups of various thumb drives so there are identical songs in multiple directories showing up as duplicates in iTunes.
Preferences shows my library in a single location.... anyone know how to restrict iTunes to only using this location ? I don't remember hitting an "import my entire hard disk" button, but I may have. I can rip out and re-install if needed, but I don't want iTunes to remember all thge other folders outside of it's home directory... did i miss something really simple ?
Help ! I have about 1000 duplicate songs, some with 3 or 4 copies that reside in the portable media backup directories !To do this, in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced Tab>General Tab and then uncheck the "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" box.
That has nothing to do with iTunes looking for music on your computer.
Keep iTunes music folder organized will create a folder hierarchy of artist and album names that contains all relevant audio files with the correct track names and order.
When you run iTunes for the first time (only), it asks to search your computer for music.
After the first time, the ONLY music that will get added to iTunes is the music you add. iTunes does not add music based on what you put in folders. It does not "watch" to see if anything is added to a folder.
If you do not want music copied to the iTunes music folder when adding to library, (and you want the music in your own folders somewhere else), set it in the prefs. -
Can't get Itunes to play all the music in folder.
I have Vista and just put iTunes on it to use instead of Media Player. My problem is if I select more then 10 files to play or just hit the "Play All" button in the folder the files open in Media Player and not iTunes. These are .mp3 files which I have associated to iTunes. If I open a single file it opens in iTunes and I am not given a warning that iTunes is the default player. Can anyone help me figure out how to make iTunes play all the music I select without having to open it and import it each time. I have over 300 CDs on the computer and some times I just want to go to the folder in explorer and launch all the music from that CD.
I think you just need to figure out the tricks to getting the album you want up in iTunes. It is very easy actually.
First, if you turn on View Browser (you can't be in the cover flow view to see the browser) you get three windows at the top of your library: Genre, Artist, Album. When you pick anything from any of those windows, it immediately narrows down the library view to things that meet that choice (e.g. if you pick U2 then the library will only show tracks with Artist = U2.
In addition, those three boxes will narrow down to only show what fits with whatever you type in the search field. Meaning, normally if you have thousands of songs and hundreds of artists, scrolling through the little artist box to find that one artist or the album box to find that one album is kind of tedious. But say you want to listen to The Clash's "London Calling". In the search box you can just type in Clash or London (or both) and the three Browser boxes (and your library view) will quickly narrow down to only tracks where Clash and London appear. Likely the Album window will now only show a few choices. Click the "London Calling" one and your library now only shows that album. Now you can play just that album. Of course it sounds like more when you type it all out, but to open iTunes, type "Clash London" then click on the London Calling album takes all of about three seconds, likely quicker than it is to dig through folders in your hard drive.
Sorry, but I don't have any answers for your Windows association problem with trying to load more than 10 tracks, but I think you may find the above method to be much easier to navigate.

Can I uninstall iTunes without losing all my music?
When trying to sync my iPod touch with my computer, I'm encountering an error in iTunes that tells me that the "Software for the iPhone is not installed..." and that I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it.
That's all well and good, however both methods of backing up your music that are listed on Apple's support site have not worked for me. I can't get the CD's to burn and trying to copy the music over using the iPod itself was a total failure.
I've got iTunes on another computer and it recognizes the Touch just fine. It's the iTunes on the main computer with all the music that's giving me problems.
So, is there any way to uninstall, then reinstall, iTunes on my computer without losing the music?
Can I make a back up folder or something like that?i had the same problem but it was fix

How can I run iTunes to manage my iPod music and still manage my iPhone / iPad?
Help! I ditched iTunes 11 on my desktop PC a year ago or so, and reverted to 10.7, because of the crazy decision Apple made to remove "Composer" as a category, thereby making iTunes useless for anyone with a classical music collection.
That is painful, because 10.7 doesn't allow me to upgrade my iPhone Apps. But at least I have my music...
However, last week I bought an iPad Air. When I connected it to my iTunes 10.7 I was given short shrift. IOS 7 will only talk to iTunes 11.
I hit on what I thought was an ingenious solution. I loaded iTunes 11 onto my laptop PC. I thought I would then be able to transfer my iPhone's affections (and apps) to the laptop, and then connect the iPad to the laptop too. OK, so I had no option but to "upgrade" my iPhone to IOS 7.
So now I find that my desktop (iTunes 10.7) can talk to neither my iPhone nor my iPad.
My iPhone will connect to the laptop, but cannot establish any app linkage. My iPad remains unused.
One of the things I used to love about Apple products was that everything just WORKED. Please can someone suggest a way forward for me. Has iTunes 11 been fixed to deal with Composers, so I can upgrade to it? I can't copy my entire music database to my laptop because the disk is not big enough. Solutions eagerly awaited!Thanks for the reply, but I need a way forward. Here are the options I can envisage and I would find it really helpful to have their feasibility commented on - or better options suggested.
1) My ideal solution. I sever my iPhone's connection to my desktop system so that I can run iTunes 11 on my laptop and sync iPhone and iPad to that. Problem: I don't know how to sync the iPhone to the laptop.
2) Upgrade my desktop to iTunes 11, completely destroying my classical music collection's backup on my 120GB iPod classic. This is OK so long as I never need to reload the iPod.
3) is there a way I can somehow freeze my iTunes 10.7 on my desktop and then upgrade to iTunes 11? That would also be an ideal outcome, because I don't add new music to my iPod because it's full.
Any suggestions warmly welcomed!
