How do I get all the music on my IMAC in one folder. We have one IMAC and 3 sign ons. When add a song under one sign on it doesn't add to all 3 libraries.

How do I get all the music on my IMAC in one ITUNES folder? We have one IMAC, with 3 sign ons for me and my 2 teens. When you add a song under one of the sign ons it doesn't add it to all 3 libraries. Before I updated to LION,  We had one main library with all the songs we bought, imported from cd's etc. Then any of the three of us could add it to our own IPOD instead of buying the song agin. It is one house, one IMAC. It was working fine under Leopard.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • How can I get only the music I want onto my iPhone using iTunes Match

    how can I get only the music I want onto my iPhone using iTunes Match?  At present it is putting a random selection on; it has none of the same control as iTunes on my Mac.  And although I uploaded all my album artwork to iCloud, it is not transferring it back to my iPhone

    Iphone are meant to be sync to one itunes library only.
    You can copy those songs to a cd and then put a copy to your itunes media library.

    You must configure to sync only the specific items you want on your iPod by enabling the necessary settings from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs.  Perhaps this article can provide more information and assistance.

  • How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my iphones 4 and my ipad 2?

    How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my two iphones4 and my ipad2?
    Since more than 6 monthes I can't use
    * video for more than 5 minutes,
    * tv-streams for more than 5 minutes,
    * apple store updates in case of more than one update,
    * itunes download in case of more than one download object,
    * remote control
    * air play with appletv3
    without errors.
    On ios 6.x (incl. 6.1.2) all important apple media integration are just useless.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • My hard drive crashed and I have lost my Itunes library. How can I get my the music that I loaded from my own CDs back on my PC from my iPod?

    My hard drived crashed in my HP Pavilion desktop and I have installed a new one. I have Windows 2007. My Itunes library is gone. How can I get all the music that I loaded onto my iPod from my own CD's back into an Itunes library?

    The loading of audio files to iPod is designed to go one way only: computer to iPod. There are some third-party applications available which will rescue an audio library and write the files back to a PC HDD. The playlists might not copy, nor the album art work, nor videos but you might be able to recover all audio files. Some apps are open source and available for free download, for example: Senuti, Onyx. There are others which are  Windows-based; do a Google search to find out. 

  • My computer crashed and all the music in my library is gone.  I have the music in my Nano, can I transfer this into my main library?

    My computer crashed and all the music in my library is gone.  I only have the music in my nano which I'm trying to move into the library so I can burn cd's.  Is there a way to do this?  I'm going nuts.
    Thank you

    Yes.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod to your PC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    I would suggest the manual method over using 3rd party software, but the choice is entirely yours.

  • I want to chang all the music on my i pod and it will not let me. how do I do it? and most of the music on my i pod I do not have no more and I can not take it off. how do I take it off?

    I want to chang the music on my i pod and most of the music i do not have no more that is on my ipod, how do I chang it?

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • All my music is on my old pc, now i have a mac and all my new books are there... I can't sync my iphone to both computers to load my music and books... how can i sync from two devices?

    ALL MY MUSIC IS ON MY OLD PC IN ITUNES. I HAVE A NEW MAC WITH ALL MY NEW BOOKS IN MY ITUNES ON THE MAC. HOW CAN I COMBINE MY TWO ITUNES ACCOUNTS OR SINC MY IPNONE TO BOTH COMPUTERS?

    I suggest to copy all your files in your external drive to your Macbook and reformat that external drive to Mac OS Extended Journaled or exFat.
    Once you've done that - then copy all the files back to your external drive.
    Do not format your external drive if you haven't copied whats in your external drive.  You'll lose everything.

  • What happened to all the music I'd loaded from my CD collection to my iMac?

    They've all disappeared.

    The iphone is not a storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    If the music is not on your computer, then it will not be on the iphone.

  • Itouch5 why when I open up the music app iTunes Radio does not appear I have iOS 7 and I am in the US also any answers?

    I have iOS 7 and am using an itouch 5 in the United States but iTunes Radio is not opening when I go to the music app any solutions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    The above reset work for some users
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • How do you get for you music on your iphone to show your "most played""recently played" and all that?

    Please I need help. I had it before but I backed it up and it disappeared

    That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
    If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder.<br />
    Name: <b>Recently Visited</b><br />
    Location: <b>place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30</b><br />
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

  • If my computer and ipod were stolen how do I get back the music I have already purchased?

    I purchased a new computer and ipod but can't retrieve any of my old music. If I try to go to the itunes store and click on the items I have already purchased it says "are you sure you want to purchase this again."

    You only get one download.
    Unless you are int the U.S, then you can use icloud beta.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

  • I've transfered my backup files from an external hard drive to my Mac; how do I get combine the two "users" on my Mac so I only have one?

    I've had to re-install my backup files from to my MacBookPro after a software repair wiped out all my data. Now I have two Users identities on my laptop. Is there a way to combine them or get rid of one?

    Drag one account's home folder to the other account's desktop, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, and delete that account.

  • Updated to ios7. Ipad decided it wanted a password, after a day of ios7, and after exhausting all options it "disabled" itself. Tried all the Apple suggestions. No luck. Anyone else have this problem and did you find a solution?

    Nothing about 7compensates for this betrayal.

    I read the set up information after the update.   When it asked if I wanted to add password I said no.
