I have three different listings for Bob Seger on my iPod (Bob Seger, Bob Seger System and Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band) How can I put all 3 in the same artist folder without changing artist name?
Can you just create a new "Playlist", name it Bob Seger and drag what you want into the Playlist.

How can I see all of the songs I've ever bought on Itunes
So I've been working on putting new songs onto my mom's ipod for about 4 hours now, and I'm getting very frustrated.
Instead of putting all of the songs that I recently purchased into the library of all of the previous songs bought on the Ipod, the songs are all over the place and unorganized.
My goal is to see all of the songs I've ever bought on Itunes, so I can delete everything off of the ipod and re-dowload all of them.
I've tried seeing the recent purchases and only about 6 songs come up, even though I bought about 50, and I would like to see ALL songs history not just recent.
I'm in a rush to get this doine for christmas thanksYou did not follow directions. I said to click on Account, not Purhcases. There you will find:

How do I move ALL my music in iTunes back to its original space on my desktop. I have music on my desktop, music on an external hard drive and some saved on a flash. I cannot backup my music because I cannot locate it. I have 4 separate music libraries (same songs) but don't know where to begin to get my music and libraries back in order. CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME THE WAY HOME?
Hi there old45,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

have alot of music to import and some of the artist are not in the same folder. like elton john who has duets with others. is there anyway to put all the music in same folder and not have several folders for same artist
If you right click on a son in iTunes and click Get Info. Under the Sorting tab iyo can change how the songs is sorted in iTunes
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
Does the non-syncing songs play in iTunes on the computer?
is there anything different about the songs that do sync and those that do not? Like where they cam from? The format (Get Info>under the File tab). -
How do I put all my iPod songs into my iTunes library?
I got my iPod in October, and at the time I didn't own a computer. I used my dad's computer to put songs from my CDs onto my iPod.
Today I finally bought my own laptop, a Mac iBook. I'm trying to load all my iPod songs into my iTunes, but I can't figure out how.
Thanks for any help!Hello Colleen,
The transfer of music is designed to be one way by default - from iTunes to iPod. However, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection but I would recommend Senuti, I have used it myself and it's very user friendly.
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions

Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward. -
How can I put my iPod's songs into my pc?
Hi!I bought my iPod in November and this week I putted all the music which was in my PC into my iPop, and there is a thing I don't understand: how can I do to put my iPod's music into my PC? I'll be really pleased if you asnwer my question!bye
1. Double-click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop.
2. Locate your iPod in the window that appears and select it.
3. Choose Folder Options from the Tools menu in the My Computer window.
4. Click the View tab in the Folder Options window that appears.
5. Look for the Hidden Files and Folders entry. Below this entry enable the Show Hidden Files and Folders option and click Apply to reveal the hidden files.
6. Dismiss the Folder Options windows by clicking the OK button.
7. Double-click the iPod’s icon in the My Computer window.
8. Move to the Finder and double-click on the iPod’s icon on the Desktop.
You’ll discover that several more items now appear in the iPod window. Among them is a folder called iPod_Control.
9. Double-click the iPod_Control folder.
Inside the iPod_Control folder you’ll find the Device, iTunes, and Music folders along with the iPodPrefs file.
10. Drag the Music folder to your Mac’s Desktop to copy it to your computer.
As the name implies, this is where music is stored on the iPod.
11. Return to iTunes and drag the Music folder you just copied to iTunes’ main window.
The songs you copied from the iPod will be added to iTunes. If you’re a tidy type, before copying those files to iTunes, open iTunes’ preferences, click the Advanced tab, and make sure the Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized and Copy File to iTunes Music Folder When Adding to Library options are enabled. Enabling these options will organize your iTunes library in the way iTunes prefers. -
How can i clear all of the songs off my ipod so i can start a fresh!!
Hi everyone out there,
im desperately seeking for somebody who knows how i can clear all of the songs off my mini ipod so that i can start a fresh in intunes to upload new songs. ive misplaced my handbook somewhere so if anyone is able to help me i would be very grateful. thank you GB24my ipod picks and chooses when i connect whether its going to update or not,
In Auto, it updates every time you connect it.
If you do not change anything it iTunes, the update will take only a second because there was nothing changed to update. -
So my MacBook Pro collapsed one day, and it turns on but only "Restarts" and shuts itself down on the procesa. The only thing I have access to is that 'Command + R' thing. There I tried "Verifying" and "Reparing" the Diak but the message of "Cant repair disk backup as many files as possible, reformat the disk and restore" popped up. So I have am external hard drive with more than enough space to put all of my files in there. my question is: HOW DO I DO THAT? from disk utility. Can somone please help me? Please! Step by step cause ptherwise I will mess it up and I really dont want to lose all the memories I have in my computer.
After you restart so you have access to Disk Utility, with the external drive connected, choose the external drive from the left sidebar of the DU window. If the drive has not been formatted for the Mac, choose Partition from the buttons top center of the main window. Give the drive a name, you can leave it as one partition if you like, make sure the format is set as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and the partition table is GUID. Then Apply and acknowledge that you know this will erase the disk.
Then go to the button that says Restore. Drag and drop the internal drive, Macintosh HD is most common, to the Source box, and drag and drop the external drive to Destination box. Then Restore.
That will create a clone of the internal and that will be a bootable clone. -
I have many of my songs duplicated in my library. How can i eliminate all the duplicate songs
I have most of my music library showing duplicate entries. How can I get this cleaned up automatically. I have over 4000 songs, and many are repeats
Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered, but after days of looking I cannot find a solution. I would greatly appreciate any advice. I have iTunes Match and recently deleted all of my music intentionally because I plan on using iTunes Match for a good long time and I also know that I can download my files in bulk if I ever the need arose. That being said, now I am having to individually click on songs to make them play. I will get the message "The song 'x' could not be used because the orginal file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Then I click "Cancel" and the song plays from iTunes Match. Is there a way to make this happen for all of my songs? Thank you in advance!Hey I had the same problem-
The fix to solve the error was quick and easy:
-Go to My Music tab and click on the song view to show all tracks.
-Then simply organize by the iCloud Download column. (if not shown, right click the column menu)
-The songs without any sort of iCloud icon shown are the ones with the error as you mentioned.
-Select all of those and hit delete. It will then ask to delete off of iCloud but make sure to click NO.
Voila no more annoying error on every SINGLE track over and over. I felt your pain, and now we are free! -
How can I put all the music on my iPhone?
iTunes on my desktop only shows my old music (I hadn't used it in over a year) and I recently got an iPhone 4 but iTunes on my laptop only shows my new music. How can I get it all in one place and on my iPhone?
There are a few ways to do this!
Is your laptop the "new iTunes" linked to the iPhone4?
Lets presume so.
this only works with non-DRM files/ your personal music files.
Go to your desktop.
1. You need to find the iTunes Media folder that holds your music.
Method A : Using Spotlight : type "iTunes media"
Open this folder.
See "music" folder.
Double click on this and it will have all your old music.
Copy this folder onto a Flashdrive/external drive. (call the folder "Old Music")
Then disconnect the flashdrive from your desktop and take it over to your laptop.
Open the Finder and find your flashdrive with the Old Music folder.
OPen that folder (It should have all your old music!)
Selct all and drag and drop this onto iTunes!!
Sync your iPhone!
Method B to find the Media file with your old music.
Click Finder.
Under places you should have your user name.
Click on this
You should then have a series of folders : Applications/Desktop etc.
One of these will be Music.
Click or dble click! on this. Find iTunes. Double click again.
Find a folder called Music...and then follow steps above to copy to a flashdrive....
Please note if you have copyright files in your Old iTunes, you can use a program like senuti or podworks to rip your stuff to a folder and then transfer to your "new music"....a bit more confusing!
Good luck...Its your music....you should be able to do what you want with it!!!
