How do I find bad music files? I have thousands of files, but some are bad. When I try to load them into iTunes, it just spins. I need a routine to identify and remove the bad files. Any ideas?

Hi ajoddo20,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can use Home Sharing to import music and other media from one computer to another. Please use the instructions and information located in the attached article for information on how to complete the process.

I have been taking screenshots on my mac book pro and they have been saving to my desktop. However when i try to move them into a folder, they don't move at all! I have changed my setting in view options to 'none' but they still don't move?

When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.

I Can do that for home but not at friends and work places, nobody else has any problem joining it!! I'm wondering if restoring factory settings will solve it but don't really want to do that as its a hassle to reinstall everything for it to not solve the problem!!

HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Have either of you had any luck with this issue. It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes. I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

When loading songs into iTunes, from my external hard drive. It seems to be copying the music onto my MacBook Air.

How do i have iTunes only read the songs from my hard drive, rather then copying them?

Hi revsteph,
If you have songs that you know you have purchased, but are not showing up in your iTunes Libarary, you may want to see if you can redownload them. You may find the following article helpful:

My iPhone 3GS just stopped working this morning. It tells me activation is required and that I need to plug it into itunes. When I try to plug it into itunes it doesn't register that I have anything plugged in.

My phone stopped working this morning, it tells me that activation is requires and that I need to plug it into ITunes. However when I try to plug it into my computer nothing happens, it will only show the apple symbol when I plug it into an outlet. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to plug into itunes or activate it again?

Please plug the iPhone with the original doch-connector & USB cable into a USB plug in the computer (directly into the computer) and restart iTunes. It should register. Please do not stop the registration!!! You may need to press power on iPhone.
Is the iPhone jailbroken?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the new iTunes but it still will not work. I keep getting the error mesage relating to MSVCR80.dll, the installation error 7 (windows error 126). I have tried moving and removing the dll files including the QTMovie dll

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 15 times regarding the latest release and still get the MSVCR80.dll and Error 7 (Windows error 126) messages.
I have tried moving the dll filesincluding the QTMovie dll file to now avail. Can anyone please help, as I am sure you all, like me, have thousnads of dollars and songs invested in this system and need a fix fast. Can anyone please help???

Dear avid iTunes users - I have cracked it!!!
The response from Apple/iTunes was extremely poor and did not solve the problem.
I have a look in msconfig and observed which applications/services were running - one of which was the 'Apple Application Support'
So ... I had a look at what was in this folder and found the APS Daemon.exe file causing all the trouble.
So ... I simply deleted the Apple folder found in C:\program files\common files\.
I did a restart and did not get the MSCVCR80.dll or Error 7 (windows 126) error messages.
I reinstalled the current version of iTunes (for the 16th time!)
Hey presto!!!
IT WORKED :-O Woooohooo!!!
So ... to all those smarty-pants boffin-brianiacs out there (apple/iTunes): this is how you do it!!!!!!!!!!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNINSTALL ALL THE APPLE/QUICKTIME OR RELATED PROGRAMS - JUST DELETE THE APPLE FOLDER IN THE C:\PROGRAM FILES DIRECTORY.
Nuff said.

TS2972 I've set up the Apple TV and it has the same network as my Mac but I just an't get it to show Mac content on the TV? Any ideas? It worked perfectly the first time I tried but not now!

I've set up the Apple TV and both the TV & Mac have the same network but I just can't get the Mac content on the TV. It did work the first time I tried but not now. No Air Play Mirroring devices detected. I've reset everything but still no joy - any ideas?

Disable any security software on the computer.
Reboot the computer and the Apple TV.

Just got a nano. Wanted to take all my music from my computer that I had even before I had Itunes not all were bought from itunes. I loaded them into itunes and all of them won't transfer to nano only the ones that I brought from itunes. why not all?

I just purchased a Nano. I have a ton of music that I on my computer from before I had a nano and had a mp3 player. I never had a problem transferring that music before. So I didn't purchase them from Itunes. Now that I have a Nano I want to put all those songs on my nano. I also have a iphone that I did buy some songs so those will transfer on my nano. All of my music shows up in itunes but won't transfer to my nano. grrrr. Any thoughts?

To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)?
And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems? But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them?
