How to Update Musica Library in iTunes
I choose to manually sync the music in my PC to my Ipod so my iTunes is really outdated regarding the music in my Ipod, how can I update the iTunes list only? Thank you
I mean that I unchecked the option for iTunes to syncronize automatically with my Ipod I choose to manually sync my Ipod with only the folders of music I want to add. I use two computers one at home one at work, I dont use very often the PC at work, but I want the Music Library in the iTunes in that PC to have a list of all my songs currently on my Ipod. Because I use mainly my PC at home the music library in the PC at work doesnt have all the music library currently on my Ipod, how can I update the music library so both are equal?

How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?
I successfully used migration assistant to transfer all my music from a Windows PC to my new Mac Air. How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

thanks for the hint Chris. I took your meaning of the word "respind" as restarting my Air after the migration.
Actually, it was "respond" (to this post).
If you are not sure of anything below, post back before deleting anything.
You can simply copy the items tin the migrated user to your current user account.
Drag the Music folder, Pictures folder and Documents folder to /Users/Shared.
Then log out of this user and log into your regular user account.
Open 2 finder windows. On teh Finder icon in the dock, right click - New Finder window
Open one to Users/Shared & the other to your user.
On Shared, open Music and drag the contents to your user Music folder.
Do the same for Pictures and Documents (into the same folders).
After it finishes copying, open iTunes and everything should be there.
You can then delete /Users/Shared/Music/ folder.
Do the same for Pictures & Documents.
After everything is copied and you are sure it's in your current user folder, go to System prefs > Users & Accounts and you can delete the new user that you did Migration Assistant with. -

How do I organize a huge (120GB+, but alot of duplicates) music library with iTunes? Thanks!
If you do not want the duplicate files, maybe the best thing to do first is to eliminate as many duplicates as you can..
You can use iTunes: View/Show Duplicate Items
Or you could use one a script -

How can i transfer my music library in itunes to my phone,all the music was on my phone until i did an upgrade then I lost them.
Connect your phone to your computer, click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes, then do the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings check "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library check all the songs you want to sync to your phone
Confirm that there are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
Confirm that you have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
Check "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings

Adding existing music library to iTunes from an external drive
Hello -
Just purchased my first Mac and have moved from a PC. I have about 200 Gigs of music saved on my external hard drive and would like to import my music library to itunes on my macbook pro without adding to the macbook internal memory. Can someone explain how I can do this? Thanks in advance.go iTunes > preferences > advanced and check if there a tick in the box next to +copy files to ... when adding to library+.
if there is, connect the external to the Mac and, using the finder, drag the folder containing the music files into an open iTunes window *while pressing option on your keyboard*.
if you want to be able to play the content on the drive, be sure the drive is mounted on your desktop next time you launch iTunes !

After recovery I am not able to load my existing music library into iTunes. I followed instructions given in iTunes. Any comments/suggestions?
Do you see the library and media files on your external drive?
If you recovered the iTunes folder from <User's Music> in the backup to your current <User's Music> folder then the library should all be there with no need to import anything.
Depending on how you backed up the data it is possible that the recovered files are missing the security permissions that iTunes needs to access them. See epair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on how to check and reset if necessary.

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download. They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod. How can I get all of my songs back?
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. -
I recently switched from a pc to the Mac and now I am unable to locate my music library in iTunes... any advice?
Your question is a little bit vague, can you be more specific? Are you trying to find your iTunes library on the PC so you can move it to the Mac? Have you already moved it to the Mac? Can you see the music in iTunes on the Mac, but want to find the folder where iTunes puts the music files?

please help me leave me a reply okay:)?????!!Hi dantheman302,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on your exact question. If you are talking about watching something that you have previously purchased but is no longer in your iTunes Library for whatever reason, you should be able to redownload it from the iTunes Store in most instances.

ITunes Music Library vs. iTunes Library
What is the difference (datawise) between "iTunes Music Library" and "iTunes Library?"
To add music files to the library while in my C drive, do I click and drag the files into where?? ...the "iTunes folder" or another folder? I can't add them to the .itl or.xml files, so how do I add them??*to add music files to the library while in my C drive, do I click and drag the files into where??*
You open iTunes and drag the songs to the Source list (the long pane on the left hand side). Alternatively in iTunes go to File>Add file to library or File>Add folder to library and navigate to the file or folder of files that you want to add.
The iTunes Library file is the database that holds all of your library information, song titles, artists, playlists, playcounts etc. The iTunes Music Library is an XML file iTunes uses to communicate library information with other programs. You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files? -
IPod touch will no longer sync with my music library on iTunes since restoring to factory settings
I had to restore the ipod when it locked my son out as he'd forgotten the passcode.
I have around 1000 songs in my music library on itunes. Sync all songs is checked, but it saying there are 0 songs.
I'd like to sync all songs to the ipod. Can anyone help please?Syncing is iTunes keeping your iTunes library (or a defined portion of the iTunes library) "in sync" (the same as) the library on your iPod. And iTunes syncing of content generally goes in one direction only, from iTunes library on computer to the iPod. That's why, if you want to sync it to a NEW iTunes library, iTunes is warning you that the existing library on the iPod will be replaced.
So, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Once your iTunes library is consolidated with ALL of your songs, you can sync your iPod to it.
NOTE: If you have songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store on the iPod, you can re-download them at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.
