How do l play music from external drive using itune.

Does anyone know how to use itune to play music from external drive without upload sounds to the itune libray.

You don't. Use the QuickTime Player instead.

  • How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app  on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

    I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!!  However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
    1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
    2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv.  (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing.  I can't search/browse any other music)
    If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

    Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
    My problem involves:
    icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier.  Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing.  This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
    What does work is:
    iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off.  I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

  • How do I move files from external drive to Itunes on computer?

    I am doing a system recovery and have saved my Itunes folder on an external drive.  How do I get the data back into Itunes?

    Install iTunes, the same version you had when you saved your music folder.
    When done, don't run iTunes.
    Copy the content of your itunes folder (iTunes Media, iTunes library...) from your external HD to /user/music/itunes
    Run iTunes. You should see your content and playlists.
    Bye

  • How do i play music from internet

    how do i play music from the internet

    As roaminggnome said, you're question is a bit vague, but I'll try to help. If you've downloaded a song from the interent, proposing it's a legal way, the song will be saved in your downloads folder. You can take it out of your downloads folder by dragging it to another location, I presume you know how, but you might need to change the file format so it will play in iTunes. For this, you can use a third party audio convertor. One that is easy to use on the internet is http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp3
    Since we are trying to put the song in iTunes, we nned the mp3 or m4a format. At this website, you can just upload the song, don't change any of the settings, and click convert! Then you can download the converted song and drag it into iTunes like you would any other file. Hopefully this is sort of what you meant by playing downloaded songs from the internet...

  • How do I load music from my ipod to itunes on my new mac, I do not have my old mac?

    How do I load music from my ipod to itunes on my new mac, I do not have my old mac?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    How do you import music from an ipod to itunes?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod. And here is a guide about how to import music from iPod to iTunes. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.
