How to import a complex mp3  folder strucutr in itunes and automated create playlists namend after this folders?

Hi to all,
I have a Problem. I organised since years my mp3 music in folders with subfolders and so on. I didnt create any playlists. Now i want to use itunes and ipod/ipone. How can i import a the complex mp3  folder strucutr in itunes and automated create playlists namend after this folders?
I understood how to import the music in the media library but i dont want to creat hundreds of playlists by hand.
Maybe someone has a tip?
Thank to all
Andy

iTunes doesn't take any notice of your folder structure or provide any automatic way to use any information that might be coded in the path. Can you describe the current layout in a bit more detail and explain what you hope to achieve. It may be possible to use tools in other program's such as MediaMonkey or custom scripts to get the data from the file paths into something that iTunes can work with. The most important thing at this stage is not to import media to iTunes without first making sure under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are turned off otherwise iTunes may destroy your existing structure.

  • How to import Indian CD/MP3 Lecatures/Music in iTunes?

    I want to import lectures and music from CD/MP3 from INDIA to itunes to copy them in ipod nano.  However, CD/MP3 content does not get imported into Itunes in Windows 7.  What is the trick???

    As I asked - what happens when you try steps four and five?
    Specifically, when you drag-and-drop, does the icon you're dragging change and get a red circle with a line through it within the icon? (That's the "you cannot do this" icon!)
    If not, then the music must have been added to your Library. Perhaps the files are in a different part of your library, such as iTunes U, or audiobooks. If those  options are not showing under Library (in my picture above, notice, under Library, the option iTunes U). To turn these on, select Edit/Preferences/General and put a tick in the boxes for iTunes U, Podcasts, Books and even TV Shows.
    Once these options are visible to you, check each section for these missing files. You can use the search option on the top right of the iTunes Window, but note that the search is only in the section you're currently looking into.

    How to import photos from a folder that contains hundreds of folders to Photos keeping the same folder structure?

    You'll have to do that manually, i.e. export each album of photos to a folder with the same name located on your hard drive via  the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.

  • How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

    How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
    If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

  • HT4847 how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?

    how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?

    Hey okapi22,
    Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
    Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
    Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them.  Take a look at the following article:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

    Thanks,

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

    and this article explains syncing to the iPod.

    Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
    I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • How do I re-pair the white Remote with iTunes and/or AppleTV 1

    Note that our test system may show more or different columns than yours, but what you see in this screenshot is our iTunes 11 music library in "Songs" view, sorted by artist. The major difference from prior versions of iTunes is the lack of the sidebar that gave you quick access to all of your content.
    Don't worry, it's still available! We just have to turn it on. To do so, go to the View menu and choose "Show Sidebar," as shown in the image below:

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • TS1424 I've downloaded a TV show on itunes and it is freezing up after 10 minutes. I see an error code 3256 - anyone have any ideas about how to get it unstuck?

    I've downloaded a TV show on itunes and it is freezing up after 10 minutes and won't play beyond that point. It says error=3256. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How to import/copy songs from DVD storage to iTunes Library

    My PB harddrive had a major failure resulting in total data loss. I have all my Itunes music copied to 5 DVDs (roughly 22g or 12 days of music). How do I get these back into my iTunes music library? I have tried:
    a) drag & drop copy from DVD (desktop folder) to harddrive/users/myid/music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder. This results in a transfer, but on opening iTunes, none of the music appears in the library. I tried "Advanced->Consolidate Library" but nothing happens; still no songs in the Library.
    b) drag & drop copy from DVD (desktop folder) to new desktop folder and then to consolidate library. Again nothing.
    If I go to the folder and double click on any mp3 file, the song starts playing in iTunes, and is added to the library. BUT, it is impractical for me to click thru every song (>4000 songs).
    HELP

    There are 2 ways to go:
    #1 from itunes Menu - File choose "Add to library..." then select your DVD/tracks
    #2 launch iTunes, drag+drop those tracks onto "Library" in iTunes' left column beneath "Source"
