How do I change the way itunes stores my music?

When I look at my music library in the finder my itunes music is stored totally different than the way I have it in my itunes source list. This is creating annoyances for using front row for me. I want front row to organize my music exacty as I have it in my itunes source list. I think this all shoud have something to do with the default way that itunes stores music. Anyone know how to change this?

Franz,
Perhaps I'm not understanding your question, but Front Row should be displaying your music much as it is in iTunes.
You really shouldn't even have to concern yourself with the file structure that iTunes uses in it's library.

Itunes has changed the way it stores files over the years and now i am having trouble figuring out which files are where so I can back them up

Hi
I have backed up itunes by copying my itunes file to an external hard drive. I try to keep my large media files (like TV shows) in a separate folder so that I can keep my hard drive on my macbook from filling up. Problem is, apple has changed the way Itunes is organized and backs up over the years. Now I am having a hard time keeping straight what is where. When I go to support, it has different instructions for the various versions of itunes. I am using version 10 now but it seems like I can't see all my files within the itunes music or media folder. I want to get everything in one place so that I can easily back up, regardless of which version of itunes I am running at the time.
I have selected to let itunes organize my files. It keeps all the files I have purchased in one place apparently, but items I have imported don't seem to always be there.
How can I best sort this out?

I have, but if I don't have that particular external hard drive connected when my time machine backup hard drive is connected, then I don't think it is all backed up together. It is getting too complicated to get out all this equipment every time I want to buy some music.

As I stated, you cannot change the Apple ID that an app asks for, it is forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase the app. You need to use the password for the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
Apps are not transferrable.

How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

Please keep in mind that Aperture is not an enhanced iPhoto, it is a different application with a different philosophy and a different intended audience. If you approach it with that in mind you will have a lot less frustration as you learn Aperture.
Aperture adds a layer of complexity that is not needed by many. iPhoto is a very powerful application and fits the needs of many amateur photographers.
As for your original issue, as I said I am surprised that iPhoto allows you do switch countries like that and am not surprised that Aperture doesn't. If this is something you really need to do working in Aperture but using iPhoto to order the prints is a good work around and will not be all that difficult to do once you get the hang of it.
As for your new question, the books in iPhoto and Aperture are different enough that the code that created the book in iPhoto wouldn't work in Aperture. What happens when you import an iPhoto library into Aperture is that the images in the book are combined into an album in Aperture with the same name as the iPhoto book. You will need to re-create the book in Aperture uaing the images in this album.
Hope this helps, post back if you have anymore questions.
regards

How do I change the way the item are listed in stacks

How do I change the way the item are listed in stacks?

Hello Joel,
You have some choices available by clicking and holding on the stack for a second, and there are five sorting orders to choose from.
I picked up a tip to create an empty folder and place it in the stack, give it a fancy icon and name it 0. Then by choosing the sort order as name, that fancy icon is always at the front.

frank,
every negative experience is an opportinity to learn. deleting or moderating these experiences would be turning away the chance to learn. as long as users follow the participation rules, we allow even the most negative posts to remain.
as you said, forums are inherently negative by nature as users typically come here to solve a problem. those of us who try to solve the problems are in the minority. we certainly appreciate users such as yourself who voluntarily return to the forum to help out, especially those who initially came here to solve a problem themselves.
thank you as well.

HT1918 How do I access the US iTunes store when living in Italy?

I'm on exchange in Italy for a year, and soon after I arrived debit card linked to my apple ID expired. When I enter the information for the new card itunes simply refers me to the itunes support website.
I think that itunes wants me to sign up for the itunes store for Italy, but I am unsure if switching stores will delete my purcheses. I also would like to keep the language in english, if possible.
The way I see it there are two viable options:
How do I access the United States itunes store while in Italy?
OR
Does accessing the Italian itunes store delete my previous purchases, and can I change the language to English?

If I view another country's store on my Mac's iTunes then the content headings (Music, Movies etc) remain in English, as are the Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store homepage, though some of items in the store display in the language of the country that I've chosen
Changing iTunes language : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242
Note: No matter what you set your language to, some content on the iTunes Store (such as album names and movie names) will still display in their original language; it is mostly the navigation buttons, tabs, and so on which will be affected by changing the language.

How do I change the way music displays podcasts on my ipad 2?

On my iPod nano, iPhone, iMac the podcasts are listed with the most recent ones at the top. On my new iPad 2 the oldest ones are listed at the top. How do I change the display settings to show the most recent ones first?
2) If I go to check my email when I'm listening to something, when I go back to the music app it shows the top of the list again, instead of showing where I was. Frustrating!!
3) Usually the menu at the bottom of the music app can be customized (for example I want "podcasts" to be one of the choices instead of "songs"). Is there any way to change this?
Thank you very much!

Goto slideshow>music your library of songs will come up choose wat song u wish to play then start slideshow.

I brought a new ipad (3rd generation), the problem i am having is with itunes. i downloaded a television series onto my ipad, i did not know that it would try to download it all at one time. my question is how do i change the way my ipad loads.

As I stated in the title, I purchased an ipad (3rd generation), and I am having trouble with itunes downloads. Mistakenly when I purchased a television series I selected download the entire series to my ipad. Is there a way to stop this download and change the download location to either my laptop or into the cloud?

Did you try tapping on the download to bring up a pause status? You can finish the download on the computer in iTunes. You may be able to delete the download by swiping across the progress bar of the download after you finish the download on the computer.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the download in iTunes and then try to delete the download from the iPad.

How can I change the Safari, App Store, iTunes, etc icons?

I can change the icons on my folders and stuff, and I used LiteIcon to change the Finder, Dashboard and Trash icons but I can't change Safari icon in LiteIcon and I can't use the Get Info method either! Any help? Thank you

For safari (for example), if its on your dock control click it and go to options > show in finder
Control click safari there and from the drop down menu click "Get Info"
     Alternatives to this would be to hit command-i or the get info button underneath the icon
With the window that pops up:
     Click the lock at the bottom to unlock it
     Go to the Sharing & Permission section
     Set all the users listed to "read and write"
Now to copy the icon that you want to copy, go to the top of the get info window and click the safari icon
to copy it push command-c
to replace it push command-v after you have coppied another icon
to get it back to its normal icon select the icon and push command-x
You might have to quit and relaunch the app for it to work.

HT204266 How do you change country om iTunes Store app

The country of the App Store has changed to USA it says I need to change it to the UK store but I don't know how to.

Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPhone, and sign into your account again.
Regards.
