How to identify which albums are missing from my iTunes

I recently got a new PC with loads of storage so I have been copying mp3's onto it from various old backups and CD's that wouldn't fit on my old laptop.
Is there an automated way of importing the albums that don't already exist in the iTunes library?  It would be a mess to import everything then weed out the dupes! 

You can put everything into the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder, but there are occasional horror stories about those files going missing. You can also add the entire media folder, but occasionally that can create duplicate entries in the library, particularly if you have split the media folder to a separate location on a drive that isn't permanently connected to your computer.

    I noticed that some of my podcast are missing from the iTunes store. What is the cause of that?

    That suggests that the tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture.  I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

    I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error.  I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture.  How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

    Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
    If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles.  Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

  • How to identify which privilege is missing?

    Hi,
       If any query comes out with insufficient privileges, how do we identify which privilege is missing instead of searching in Oracle docs. Is there any table(dict or oracle internal) we can take aid to find out required privilege.

    Oracle does not store (other than the document) the possible privileges that could be granted to a specific user/object. But the privileges that are granted can be viewed in dictionary tables listed below.

  • How to identify which albums I deleted by mistake

    Hello,
    I have ripped 2403 albums from my CD collection on my iTunes. Yesterday I tried to install another two but I entered some info wrong and deleted the two new entries.
    Unfortunately, I realized rightaway that my number of albums, which should have gone back to 2403, was now down to 2400. I have no idea what the 3 missing albums are; since I did not notice what happened during the deletion of my two new entries, they could be any of the other 2403.
    Is there a way to find out which albums I deleted by mistake? I am thinking, perhaps, of an index list that would tell me what the last operations or modifications were made in iTunes, or the like.
    Otherwise it is like trying to find three needles in a stack of 2403 other needles.
    Thank you. M.

    You can put everything into the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder, but there are occasional horror stories about those files going missing.

  • Deduplication: how to identify which files are "in-policy" (and which are not)?

    Dear experts,
    in eventlog I find the following information for one of my deduplicated volumes:
    Volume: F: (\\?\Volume{9794e270-fb08-487e-979b-8a08fa9ca311}\)
    Error code: 0x0
    Error message:
    Savings rate: 24
    Saved space: 853327714684
    Volume used space: 2681869406208
    Volume free space: 66771247104
    Optimized file count: 1199618
    In-policy file count: 1188049
    Job processed space (bytes): 0
    Job elapsed time (seconds): 2
    Job throughput (MB/second): 0
    Some things look strange to me: 
    - The savings rate is only 24% which looks odd because I get about 40% on other file shares with similar characteristics.
    - The "Optimized file count" is higher than the "in-policy" file count.
    - The volume has about 3.5 million files but only 1.1 million files are "in-policy".
    My understanding of "in-policy" files is that all files are in-policy which are older than 3 days (if not configured different, which is not the case) and which are not contained in an excluded folder (nothing configured here) and which have no
    excluded file extension (nothing configured here apart from the default). Right?
    I'm sure that only a small fraction of the files on this volume are younger than three days, so something seems to be wrong there, but I have no idea how to find the cause of the problem.
    Is there any way to identify the files (full path) which are considered to be not "in-policy"?
    How can I find out if the optimization process really looks at all files - and doesn't skip a million?
    Thanks!
    Regards
    Christoph

    Mandy, thanks for your feedback! I've read these technet articels, but I couldn't learn something really helpfull related to my problem there. To make investigation of the problem easier I did the following:
    - created a brand new empty volume (x:) on the same server
    - enabled data deduplication on that volume with a minimal file age of 0 days
    - copied about 2GB of data from the problem-volume in 15450 files to this new volume
    - started "Start-DedupJob x: -Type Optimization -Memory 50"
    After a few seconds that job completed and I got the following result:
    Volume: X: (\\?\Volume{d1ba9ed8-28f1-44d1-9535-fe603d6a70c6}\)
    Error code: 0x0
    Error message:
    Savings rate: 0
    Saved space: 12360718
    Volume used space: 3091664896
    Volume free space: 7610097664
    Optimized file count: 153
    In-policy file count: 153
    Job processed space (bytes): 46095214
    Job elapsed time (seconds): 9
    Job throughput (MB/second): 4.88
    The question is: why are only 153 files in-policy?
    All files (of more than 15000) are of course "older than 0 days", there are no excluded folders configured, there are no excluded extensions configured, no file has one of the default excluded extensions and more than 1000 files are bigger than 100kB
    (minimal size for deduplication is 32kB). So what makes only 153 files qualify for deduplication?
    My impression is that there are further undocumented requirements which have to be met by a file to qualify for deduplication. But if there's no detailed log of an optimization run available how to find out what's going on?
    (Or is something going wrong on my server?)
    Kind Regards
    Christoph

  • How to see which fields are called from a datasource?

    Hy Experts
    I have the datasource 8ZDS_DS02 and I want to know which fields in R/3 System are 'maped' to the infoobjects.  How can I do?
    Thank you in advance!

    if you have 8ZDS_DS02 as datasource, then you need to go to the update rule, Transfer rule of ZDS_DS02 and see what is being mapped to the datasource, whatever you see in 8* datasource is coming from the base ods which is ZDS_DS02.

  • How to determine which albums are available in AAC 256kbps?

    Hi,
    I've uploaded all my iTunes library in iTunes Match and now I'd like to delete my low-quality MP3s to re-download AAC 256kbp songs from iTunes Match.. my problem is how can I understand if one of my uploaded albums has been uploaded in my low-quality version (because it is not in the iTunes online library) or if it is available in the higher quality version? It is important to know if the uploaded albums can be re-downloaded in higher quality, iTunes should provide such a function or indicator.. can you help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    I've just found the iCloud status column, which tells you if the song has been uploaded or matched. So this thread is SOLVED, sorry for the stupid question!

  • How to identify which videos

    I took a dozen or so short clips of an event. I know which three I want to combine and edit. But I can't figure out how to identify which they are in imovie in order to put those clips in my project. It shows them all as consecutive clips or frames, without file numbers or names.

    I'll try to explain better.
    A dozen clips or videos, 1 min to 5 min in length. In one case all along a mountain road.
    I want to produce a 5 min project or video with the best parts of 3 of those 12.
    All 12 have thumbnails almost identical (the dashboard across the bottom, roof line at the top)
    I only want to start editing the 3, not put all 12 in.
    How do I identify those 3?

  • Half my music, all my apps/movies/playlist/videos are missing from my i tunes but i looked into my music and it seems to be all in there is there anything i can do?

    Half my music, and all my apps/playlist/movies/videos are missing from my itunes. I found it all in my music on my computer but it wont go into itunes.  Is there any suggestions on what i can do?  I have most of it backed up on a external hard drive all i am affraid to do anything as i don't want to lose all the time and money i have invested.  Someone told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall it and see what happens any thought?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup.
