How can I merge music from an external drive and my iMac.

Well, I've made progress. I have a set of tunes on my external hard drive that contain some, but not all the tunes on my iMac in addition to tunes not on my iMac. I just replaced my hard drive on my PowerBook. I'd like to have all my Tunes on it. All the music on my iMac plus the non-duplicated music on my external hard drive. Is there a simple way to do this. In my question yesterday I had transfered all the music from my iMac. I then took and transferred the music folder from my external drive to my desktop and tried to import it into iTunes. What a mess. I finally got everything deleted so there is now nothing in either my music folder or iTunes. Can someone help please.
Thanks
Carl

  • How do I sync music from an external drive

    I recently moved all my iTunes content including music to an external hard drive (multiple reasons: space, SONOS capability, etc.). In addition, I purchased a new iMac. I can wipe the nano, no problem, but how do I get music from the external drive that is not on my computer (but which iTunes will play via iCloud) onto the nano?
    Do I need to download everything back to my computer from iCloud and sync that way or is there some toggle I'm missing that allows me to load the external drive --> iTunes--> nano?
    Thanks!

    Jairy,
    You may need to run through the following steps:
    Once you've done that, follow the next set of steps to change your iTunes Media folder location to the new drive and then consolidate your library to the new location. This not only copies your audio and media files over, it also retains your ratings and playlists. Note: If you move your music and media to an external hard drive, you will need to have that drive connected to access your files. No matter what, it's always a good idea to have a backup of the media you have in iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced button in the Preferences window.
    Click the Change button in the iTunes Media folder location pane.
    In the Change Media Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new iTunes Media folder to be created.
    Note: By default, your iTunes Media folder is a folder named "iTunes Media" in ~/Music/iTunes/ where the tilde "~" represents your home directory.
    Click the New Folder button in the Change Media Folder Location window.
    In the New Folder window that appears, enter the name of the new iTunes Media folder.
    Click Create.
    Click Choose in the Change Media Folder Location window.
    Click OK in the Advanced window.
    From the File menu, choose Library and then Organize Library if using iTunes 9 or later. If you're using iTunes 7 or iTunes 8 for Mac, choose File > Library and then Consolidate Library.
    In the Organize Library (or Consolidate Library) window, select Consolidate files.
    Click OK.  Important: This action copies all of your music and media files to the new location. There must be enough hard disk space available to copy all of your music and media files.
    After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Media folder, and drag it to the Trash. Important: Don't remove the iTunes Library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Media folder. For more information about the iTunes Library files, see this article.
    Quit iTunes and then open iTunes once more.
    If you receive the alert "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library," you most likely moved the iTunes Library files. If this is the case, move them out of the Trash and back to where they were.
    If you can open and close iTunes without encountering the above alert, empty the Trash.

    How can I move music from a hard drive to iphone?

    Import it into an iTunes library and then sync the iPhone with that library. If desired, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create or choose an iTunes library on that drive.

  • How Can I Keep Music on an External Drive?

    I've dealt with this issue before and asked questions about it, but I STILL don't understand how iTunes works when it comes to its "Library" "Media Folder" etc.
    Can anyone break it down for me exactly how it all works? Is there a good resource to explain it?
    The basic problem I have is the same one that many people have: I keep my actual music on an external hard drive. However, if I launch iTunes when that hard drive isn't plugged in, iTunes somehow changes so that all my music vanishes no matter what I do. Plugging in my hard drive doesn't help. iTunes has created a new Library that contains a list of all my music but with no idea where that music is. I try to tell iTunes where that music is, but nothing works.
    You'd think an easy fix would be to always plug in the hard drive first. However, even that doesn't help. iTunes will sometimes not see that hard drive when it is plugged in, and I have no way to predict when it sees the drive and when it doesn't. I start adding new music or podcasts, and it might all be being added to some new library iTunes created and I'm totally lost once again.
    On the Preferences/Advanced tab there is the option to change your Media Folder location, but that doesn't work. My music is on the external hard drive, but there is no Media Folder there. The iTunes Media Folder is here: My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    I've read that you can hold down the Shift key when you launch iTunes and then you get the option to "Choose Library" or "Create Library." The idea is that iTunes has created a new empty Library and that you just have to select your old Library to get things back to normal. However, there is only ever one Library file listed. There is no new one and old one to select from. There is no Library file on the external drive, either. So I have no idea what I'm looking for.
    If I choose "Create Library", it then asks me for a "Folder name". I don't know what that is, either. I thought I'd just have to give my new Library a name. The more I try to deal with this issue, the more confused I get.
    To further muddy the waters, under the "General" tab on the iTunes preferences page, it lists my library as "Doug's Library", the name I gave it long ago. However, the option to choose "Doug's Library" never comes up. I've never seen a file with that name or a Library with that name. So what is that all about?
    I've used Windows Explorer to go into the iTunes folder to see what files are there, and then it gets more confusing. There is a file called "iTunes Library" and a second file called "iTunes Music Library." Why does the music have a second Library file?
    Any suggestions or guidance? There has to be a way to cut through all this confusion. I've had so many problems with iTunes along these lines that I've literally stopped using it to listen to music. It's just not worth the hassle. I spend far more hours trying "fix" iTunes than listening to music with it.
    Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
    Doug

    I do the same thing as you do...
    My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
    There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
    1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
    2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
    I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
    If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
    To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
    I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
    You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

  • How do I add music from an external drive to iTunes

    I have been trying to add music from my collection on the external drive to iTunes, so that I can further add it on my iPod Touch. Trying to do that I lost a lot of songs that I had on my iPod already. The latest versions of iTunes have made it difficult to understand & not so user friendly. Can somone help

    Open up itunes and on that home screen simply drag and drop the songs(from the external drive) to the itunes library and the plug in your ipod, go to the music section and check sync all songs from the library, thats all!

  • Can I store music on an external drive and point iTunes to it?

    My wife has a G4 with a 20gig hard drive. Can she buy an external drive and just use that for the music?
    Would anyone tell me the procedure we would have to do to get this working? She doesn't ever need to disconnect the external hard drive we would purchase.
    Thanks

  • If I subscribe to match, can I remove music from my hard drive and still listen to it?

    I'm interested in Match, but want to know if the music has to be on my computer to access it on my iPod/iPhone?  In other words, once I sync my library (over 100,000 songs) can I remove them from my hard drive (of course having them backed up on my own) and still access them?

    First off, if you have a library with over 25,000 songs in it, you will not be able to even sign up for iTunes Match.  When you try, you will get a message that you are not eligible.
    No, you cannot selectively choose which songs go to iCloud to get around this 25k limit, iTunes Match wants all or nothing.
    The way around this is to set up multiple iTunes libraries, each with fewer than 25,000 songs in it.  While this is inconvenient on your computer, if you send them to the iCloud this way and they will all be available on your iDevices.
    Apart from that issue, the answer to your question is "Yes." 
    However, when you play a song, it downloads to your device or computer while it is playing and will stay there until it is removed again.  iTunes Match does not stream songs, it downloads them and plays them, although songs will start playing before they have been completely downloaded.

  • How can i play music from my external hard drive not purchased in itunes on my iphone

  • How can you upload music from PC external hard drive to iPad 2?

    I recently got an iPad2 to replace a netbook that was stolen. I have all my music stored on an external hard drive and was wondering what is an easy way to upload it to either the iPad itself or to the iCloud? Also is there someway to connect an iPod Classic to the iPad to share/transfer music?
    Brian

    You are going to need to route that music thru I tunes, then sync it down.  There is not easy way to connect a drive with music to a pad.  Same answer with the pod.  You need iTunes to act as the traffic cop between the devices.
    If the music was in the cloud, you can get it down, but there is no way to get it up without syncing thru I tunes.

  • How can I import files from an external drive?

    Hello everyone,
    I have an external drive containing all the video files I want to make a DVD from,
    but when I open iDVD I am not able to select these files(as they are not in imoves / iphoto etc),
    how can I get to these files to import them to an iDVD project without copying them to my hard drive?
    thanks!
    Dan

    Hi
    To little info to be able to answer.
    Movie file - in what format/codec ?
    Convert it into - StreamingDV .mov - then just drop it into iDVD Menu window (avoid active zoones).
    BUT - if movie is 30fps - then start the iDVD project as NTSC/29.97 fps or if 25fps then let iDVD do a PAL (25fps) project.
    Forcing iDVD to convert "works" - BUT result is from BAD to Worse !
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert fps PAL/NTSC - as it does this very good and is free on internet.

  • How can I stop Spotlight from indexing external drives?

    I work in an environment where we plugin several different costumer harddrives all day long as part of our working process. Often only to extract one file from a given drive. Therefore its annoying that Spotlight automatically starts indexing these drives, because it slows down everthing, but also because our windows costumers suddenly see these weird mac files on their drives, that are invisible to the macuser. The Privacy setting is not of much use, as its impossible to add oru costumers drives to the list - we simply don't know the drive until we see it.
    How can spotlight stop indexing?

    The Privacy option is okay for private users, but at work we receive alot of harddrives from costumers and we simply cannot spend the extra time waiting for a drive to be indexed every time it is connected. That drive may never be connected again as it belongs to a costumer, and it is impossible for us to add drives to the Privacy pane, because we do not know they exist before we see them infront of us. The ption to disable all external drives from being indexed would be great. Or that the indexing can be stopped in the spotlight menu, or that the indexing will not start until 10 minutes after the drive has been mounted - and only if the drive is inactive.

    In iMovie 11´you were able via a button to edit movies from an external hard drive without needing to install those in your computer´s internal hard drive, but in iMovie 13´ you are not able to do that anymore.
    I love iMovie, because it simplicity to create and make movies and i love they added better performance for green/blue screening, but i found a problem, i have a hard drive of only 128 GB, and with my content the clips i have don´t fit in the internal hard drive so i can´t install those clips, please do something in iLife 13´and even in iWork 13´there aren´t all those options anymore that let you do your work, some people think apple is bad for work, but i always have been telling them that all Microsoft features are in Mac too but with simplicity but in the new lineup they aren´t, i love apple, i haven´t got any device that isn´t from apple even my mobiles.
