  • How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?

    I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
    I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
    I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
    So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
    Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?

    You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
    You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
    Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.

  • How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version

    How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version
    I would really like to get these songs (not illegally like most people) because i really like them but they are only in the U.K. or Irish version of iTunes and I'm on the Canadian version
    If anyone can tell me how i could possibly get these that would be great thanks

    OS X is the same no matter where you buy it.  You can switch it to Japanese or one of 30 other languages in few seconds via the system preferences.
    If you want a Japanese keyboard as well, you can select that when you configure your purchase:

  • How do I erase the "other" files that are occupying my computer

    I already deleted pics, music, etc and I am ready to continue to delete unnecessary files. How should I erase the "other" files that are in my computer. Please, advice. Thanks

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Removing songs from iTunes, that are not saved on the computer

    Hey guys.
    First of all i would like to thank you for reading my post and trying to help.
    Anyways, i rent an external harddrive from one of my friends, and he had a huge amount of songs, that i would like to get on my computer. Stupid as i am, i started downloading directly from the harddrive, which result in a lot of songs in my iTunes, that are not saved in the computer, and when i remove the external harddrive from my computer, all the songs cannot play. So after that, i saved them on my computer, and tried getting them into iTunes once again. This has resulted in a double of every songs. Which is quite much.. Are there any ways, that i can do a "Clean-up" and remove all the songs that are not saved on my computer or not working or something like that?
    I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If your previous library was matched on you your computer, you can retrieve your music from itunes match on your computer.
    Sign in to match and add your computer. Your library will now show all the music that is in match. You should be able to download all your music back on to your computer.

  • How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

    how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

    I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

  • How do I search the available songs in Itunes that are not just $1.29?

    According to ITUNES, I should be able to view all available songs in the ITUNES store. Well there are supposed to be songs that are 99 cents and 69 cents. Where can I find those at? I jave tried everything and I cant seem to locate those in the store so I can see if I want to purchase those.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks

    But I want to just spcifically look at all the .69 cent songs to see if there are any I like.
    The iTunes Store has extremely few songs for 69 cents, and as Roaminggnome notes, they do not make them easy to find.  However, you might enjoy this nice 69 cent version of Chicken Dance. 

  • HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

  • Deletion of Songs in iTunes that are not on hard drive

    I had to delete a lot of songs from my hard drive. They are no longer in my hard drive but they are still visible on Itunes. Is there a an easy way to get rid of these from Itunes, other than going through each song one by one and deleting them individually

  • I've bought some songs on iTunes that are not available for me to download anymore.

    I had bought 182 songs but only 40 are available now, it wasn't like this before, what happened?

    Hi AlexSecco,
    You are probably looking in the wrong place for your previously purchased music. Open the iTunes Store and sign on. Then click on "Purchased" under Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes Store window.
    Once you do that:
    Click on Music (at the of the window)
    Click on All Songs
    Click on All (top right of the window)
    You should see the entire list of all purchased music. Anything that is already on your computer will say "Downloaded" next to the song. Anything that is available to download will have a little cloud with an arrow in it.
    You can download songs selectively, or you can click "Download All" at the bottom right of the window.
    Cheers,

  • How to fix grayed out songs in Itunes that are supposed to be matched with Itunes Match!

    I have deleted a few songs that have the cloud symbol in Itunes Match; however, they are now grayed out and I can't play them from the cloud or download them.  Can anyone offer any ideas?  I was doing this to test whether it is matching correctly and now the songs are listed with the cloud symbol and down arrow in Itunes; however, they are unable to be played (they are just gray).  Please help!

    iTunes has a feature that drops leading articles (a/an/the and regional equivalents) for sorting purposes. This enables "The Beatles" to be sorted under B instead of T, a converntion that most people are used to. The greyed out text shows this current autosort value. If you delete the text it will be regenerated. If you try to put in something like a space you will interfere with the proper action of the sort. However you can put "The Beatles" in if you really want them sorted under T. It is important to use sorting values consistently and not not try to give different things the same sort value as this causes problems. You can hide the column if you have no need to review the information in it.

  • HT3702 There are charges to my credit card from itunes that are not showing in my purchase history. How do i find out what they are?

    Having trouble identifying charges to my credit card bill. The charges can not be found in my purchase history.

    You haven't got any auto-renewing subscriptions (I'm not sure if they show on the purchase history or not, I don't have any so I can't check) - there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    And have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    If you still can't find them, and your card isn't or hasn't been linked to any other accounts, then you may want to contact your card issue. You can also try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I wanted to put my photos from my iphone to itunes and realized my photo stream wasn't turned on nor was icloud on my cpu.  So after fixing that, i still can not view any pictures on my itunes that are from my iphone.

    Not only that but now that photo stream is turned on, it shows 3 photo stream albums, 1 called my photo stream that i made from my cpu,1 photo library, and 1 called photo stream.  when i turn it off, it just deletes the photo stream album and leaves the others.  what do i need to do to do this right?  i just want what's necessary and to be able to view my photos on itunes or wherever it's suppose to be because i have way too many photos on my phone that i want to take off.

    Photostream will only work with photos newly taken on your iPhone.   It will not work with photos already on your iPhone.  The idea of Photostream is to allow you to take a photo(s) on your iPhone and a copy will be extended to the Photostream album on the iphone as well as other devices(with Photostream turned on) and your PC (with icloud control panel installed and photostream turned on) so that you can copy those files into your local folder.
    If you want to transfer old photos from your iPhone, connect it to your PC and there will be an AUTOPLAY popup window for you to select to import pictures to your local folder.
    If the Autoplay window dose not showup, you can go to windows explorer to look for your iPhone and right click to select import pictures:
