How do I refresh the music in my itunes library?
How do I refresh the music in my itunes library? After several days of ripping cd's, merging numerous libraries, and deleting a ton of duplicates, I basically need itunes to start fresh. Suggestions?
Well you could just delete everything from iTunes, without deleting the files, and then import the media folder. Or you could delete the iTunes Library.itl file and let iTunes scan your media when it starts up. Or you could use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to Check for dead tracks on startup selected.
In general it is easier to use iTunes to manage the media folder rather than manipulating things by hand and then getting iTunes to play catch up. I have a script called DeDuper for automatic deduping, see this thread for background

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

How Do I put the music in my iTunes library onto my iPhone music library
Just bought a new iphone. I want to put music on it. My iTunes library is full of music, how do i move it to my phone?
You can make a playlist in iTunes to and fill it with the music you want on your phone. Then when you sync your phone you can select the playlist to sync. Creating a playlist will allow you to choose the songs you want.
Create a playlist by selecting
1. File
2. New
3. Playlist
4. Name the Playlist
Adding Music to the Playlist
1. Select song
2. Right Click
3. Add to Playlist
4. Select the PlayList you created -
How to I put the music from my itunes library onto my iphone 4s using icloud?
We just got the new iphone 4s and are having trouble put the music on. When we have homesharing on it shows up on the iphone but we can't get it to stay on the phone. As soon as we close itunes it disappears from the phone. Can I use icloud to do it or do I have to plug in my phone to the computer or is it even possible. We did it on our ipad and it seemed to work fine. Do i have to get that imatch?

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC
How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC
Dr. P,
Song files are just files. You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 -

Hi bjl1767,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The tips in this article can help with locating your music files:

If the music is in the iTunes Media folder on your computer, but not in your library, the iTunes library might need to be re-created:

I purchased the Liszt Sonata app and would like to learn how I can copy the music to my iTunes. Thanks, John Landreth
If the music is embedded in the app and not available separately, then you can't.

I've managed my music downloading and uploading it from an external disk; I put the music into the Finder MUSIC folder and copyed it into Itubìnes but it does't appear. What Do I have to do? How can I synchronize the Musice Folder with Itunes?
Chris, thanks for the reply.
That's what I'm confused about. I did exactly what you said. I copied the entire music folder from the old computer and put it in the music folder on the new computer. I've tried that two or three times now. And, I've checked, and all of the files are there (that's what I meant by 'clicking on Itunes Media'--when I click on the iTunes media folder in music/itunes in Finder, all of the files are there). But, when I open iTunes, nothing shows up--no movies, no music, no tv shows. It seems like it should be so simple, but it won't work for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much. -
