How do i get itunes to recognize that i moved my library to another locatio

I just added an aux harddrive to my pc i am running the most current version of i tunes and want to move my library to the networked hard disk. Only i tunes can find the files since i moved them. it asks me to individually find them. Is there a faster one swoop method of doing this?

There are two ways of going about this... Here are both options pick the one that works best for you.

    If the library file is on the external drive, hold <SHIFT> while launching iTunes.  When it prompts to select a library file or create a new one, point it to the location of the library file.
    If the library file was on the internal harddrive, easiest solution is to restore it from the backup.  If no backup exists, use File > Add Folder to library.  Also under Edit > Preferences > Advanced, change the library location unless you want iTunes to move the media to the internal drive.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have already downloaded a song?

    I have a song I have purchased and downloaded.  When looking at the "Songs" view the song is listed twice.  One with a cload download button next to it even though I already have it downloaded.  I deleted the existing file and it was still listed twice, this time with a cload button next to both listings.  How do I get iTunes to recognize that I have purchased it only once?

    I've tried all of that and iTunes still won't sync my phone. I've deauthroized my computer than reauthorized it. I've deauthorized all computers then reauthorized my computer and every time I go to sync, iTunes keeps telling me my computer isn't authorized.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize that I authorized my computer?

    I have an iPhone 4S, the latest version of iTunes and Windows 8 and I can't sync my phone. iTunes keeps telling me to authorize my computer but it's already authorized. I've tried uninstalling all my Apple software and reinstalling it but that doesn't work. I've tried deauthorizing my computer and authorizing it again but that didn't work either. Is there anything else I can do?

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

    How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

    First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
    Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
    You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
    You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

  • How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

    My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
    Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
    Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
    I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro. 
    Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
    There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
    Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files.  If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud.  Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
    If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

    How do i get iTunes to recognize songs on my computer that came from purchased Cd's?

    You just import them to iTunes, or you import them to iTunes directly from the CD. But, it you had imported them to the computer before you had iTunes, then you go to edit, add file to library, or add folder to library, however you have the music set up.

  • How do i get itunes to recognize my device

    how do i get itunes to recognize my device

    Hello there,
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not seen in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    2. If your iPod displays an exclamation point folder or sad iPod icon
    3. Charge the iPod and make sure it is getting power
    4. Secure the iPod's connections
    5. Disconnect other USB Devices
    6. Determine whether your iPod's cable functions properly
    7. Place the iPod into Disk Mode
    8. Determine which format the iPod is in
    9. Verify that USB drivers are installed
    10. Determine if Windows confuses iPod with a network drive
    11. Determine if third-party software may be causing conflicts
    12. Reinstall iTunes
    13. Make sure FireWire card is a WHQL-certified IEEE 1394 card
    14. Check for a conflict in the FireWire chain
    15. Determine if there may be an issue with your computer
    16. Your iPod needs service
    If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with this article named:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPod while plugged into the TC?

    Ok So I have an Apple Time Capsule which I use as my router and NAS drive. Though I also plug my iPod into the usb port on it. The iPod is recognized on my computer and over the network easily although how can I get iTunes to recognize it and be able to add music and video?

    Even though it's physically possible, I doubt an iPod is intended to work that way. Why do you want to do that?

    What I believe you're seeing is the disk drive function of your iPod, which is different from the music player function. I'd give up trying to play music from your iPod while connected to a Time Capsule.

  • ITunes import no track names from CD import, how do I get iTunes to recongnise that iTunes was used originally for the import?

    The following message keeps appearing "iTunes cannot get  CD track names for songs that were not imported using iTunes.  To allow iTunes to look for CD track names for this song, import the song again using iTunes."  I did originally use iTunes to do the original import.  I do not have the original CDs anymore as I have shifted house.  How do I get iTunes to recognise that the import was done using iTunes?  Please help.

    StepForward wrote:
    No they were labelled Track 1, Track 2 etc.. when I originally did the import.  But I put that down to the fact that I was staying at a friends house who had no internet so it didn't go off and get the titles automatically as per usual.  I just figured I would be able to correct it later when I had a bit more time and had set up my internet.  Moving house is rather disruptive so there has been a time hiatus of a couple of weeks inbetween original import and now me trying to correct it.
    StepForward,
    Yes, that is normally the function of the Advanced > Get Track Names function.  It can get track names even without the CD present, by querying CDDB based on its "memory" of the CD.  (I just tried this, so I have to disagree with my friend Fiend.)
    It is possible that your CDInfo.CIDB file is messed up.  It is also possible that CDDB does not recognize the CD, so even with Internet all you get is Track 01, etc.
    Unless you are talking about mucho CDs where this happened, you may just want to manually edit the track names.

  • How do I get itunes to recognize all of the music in my library. I backed up the library for 24.95 and not all of it went into the backed up library?

    How do you get Itunes to recognize all the music in your library when you buy the backup in the cloud? Alot of my  music was not backed up. These are songs I burned off my CD collection. Itunes Match did not recognize them either?

    *What am I doing wrong?*
    You moved it to the server.
    You should let iTunes do it.
    Point iTunes prefs to the new location.
    Menu Advanced -> Consolidate library.
