  • HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

    I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent?  I have an older machine with Windows XP.

    I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
    Try this:
    Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
    Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
    Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
    Close and shut down the computer.
    The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
    Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
    Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
    If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
    Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
    What happens, which step do you have problems with?

  • Will i have to do it all over again with the new ipod?

    my ipod is super beat up and it's time for a new one, so i deleted all my itunes programs off of my computer and i've reinstalled them.
    while i'm saving up money for a new ipod i wanted to go ahead and reimport all my songs into a library, once i do this am i able to just plug the new ipod into my computer and all of these songs will update and i'll be all set?
    or will i have to do it all over again with the new ipod?

    Once you have reinstated the tracks to your library, you'll able to sync your new iPod to it automatically and update it with the contents of your iTunes.

  • Hundreds of blocked cookies that used to be in my "exceptions" privacy list are now gone/erased. Where did they go? Where on my computer is the list?

    Hundreds of blocked cookies and "allow for session only" cookies that used to be in my "exceptions" privacy list are now gone/erased. Where did they go? Where on my computer is the list? This list tooks years to accumulate and I tried to find the file that contained the list so I could save it or copy it but I never could. Is this list somewhere on my computer so I can restore it?

  • Every time I restart the opensso have to set up all over again!!

    every time I restart the opensso have to set up all over again,
    I haved the download Opensso and every time that i shutdown the server, i have to set up ALL again...
    where can I find the Docs how to set up It correctly????
    Thanks in advanced!!!!

    Hi,
    Have you deployed on JBoss? If so, ensure you've done an exploded deployment - see JBoss section of the release notes at http://download.java.net/general/opensso/stable/openssov1-build4/B4-ReleaseNotes.html
    Deploying the WAR directly onto JBoss expands it into a temporary directory and it loses its configuration when the server is shutdown.

  • Just installed latest Itunes, and system now grinds to a halt, caused by apsdaemon.exe and apple mobile using 99% processing. Have stopped these processes, but each time I start Itunes I have to do it all over again, any help would be appreciated

    Having just installed the latest iTunes update, I find my system grinds to a complete standstill. I've checked and found two apple processes, apsdaemon.exe and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 90% plus of my processor, so have stopped these. However, each time I start iTunes the same situation occurs. Is there anyway I can remove these exes from my system or is apple aware of this stupid update and what are they doing about it. Any guidance would be very much appreciated

    What version of itunes were you using before you updates?
    Have you checked other related post?
    iTtune will require applemobiledeviceservices.exe and others to run.  What you are experencing is usually caused by a conflict with other software on you system.  Everybodys system is set up differently, so there is not a "one fix all".  Most commonly associated with Firefox addons, video accelerator software, podcasts on the backup, anivirus software, parential control software, take you pick!
    I found my fix here.

  • I have an iPod Touch 4 and former apps I had on there are now gone and new apps that I've purchased will not load.How do I fix this?

    Do I have to get a new iPod to fix the updates of these apps?

    Hi there Skatermom14,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • I just upgraded to the new Photo and find a few things missing. May find more later. My Events are gone. Also, the Albums and Projects that I created that were on the left side tab of iPhoto are now gone. Where are they?

    Where are my Events from the old iPhoto? Also, where are the albums and projects I created that were on the left side tab in my old iPhoto?

    After importing my iPhoto Library no Events became Albums. Some of my Albums are still Albums, but many are missing from the Albums tab and Sidebar. One of the Albums listed has no photos when it should have 142. Another is missing nearly all of its photos. I found some missing Albums by name via the search window. Yet they remain missing from the Albums tab. Very strange indeed. This is one big mess right now! Thank goodness iPhoto still works.
    Yes, it's a mess for sure, and I've lost confidence in it for now.  First attempt, 5 photos came up missing.  Delete and start over, then after second attempt 18 photos go missing.  Even one single missing photo is a real confidence breaker for me.
    After conversion, and activation of the sidebar, all of my Events were migrated into a single "Photos" Album called "iPhoto Events".  Why would I want "legacy" Events segregated into one big Album?  What the heck am I supposed to do with that?  That's useless if new photos are going to be organized in some other way moving forward.  I cannot imagine new photos automatically putting themselves into a new Event inside of the "iPhoto Events" Album... because they won't.  I'll be stuck with my old iPhoto Events in this one Album, and the new stuff organized as per Photos.  Weird, just weird.
    Also, in the "all photos" view, there are dates that are just blank.  I think I know why.  In iPhoto, I merged various photos into single Events.  For whatever reason, within the Library, this left empty folders behind.  iPhoto's fault, not mine... I simply dragged & dropped photos to combine Events.   Then during Photos import/conversion these empty folders got converted into "blank" days within Photos... this is simply ridiculous.  When programming for an import, you'd want to ignore a folder if there are no files inside of it, not convert it into a block of photos that contain no photos.  It's nonsensical... you cannot have an iPhoto Event with zero photos, yet that's what was converted over.  LOL.
    I'm certainly not going to invest the time into cleaning up and moving hundreds of Events and 18,000 photos if Photos can't even do a simple library conversion.  Heck, what about the dozens of photos that my iPhone 5S fails to geotag for whatever reason?  Can't edit geotags.  Can't bulk edit meta data.  These are pretty basic functions.  Total fail.
    I'm going back to iPhoto for a while, hoping Apple eventually cleans up this mess into something usable.

  • I just installed Firefox 4 from Firefox 3.6.15. Every time I open the browser, it reverts back to 3.6.15 and I have to reload 4 all over again. What gives?

    I installed beta 4 last night. Now, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to make Firefox my default browser. I click yes, and it goes to Firefox 3.6.15 and thanks me for upgrading. I have been running 3.6.15 since it was released. I have to reload beta 4 to get back to it again.

    I got this all screwed up too.
    hmm.. where to start?
    3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
    As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
    I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
    But, I had to do it several times.
    I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
    I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
    My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
    The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
    All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
    So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
    I then did some registry cleaning.
    Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
    I can't open them both at the same time.
    If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
    If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
    This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
    I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
    So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
    For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
    So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
    3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
    Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
    At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon.

  • All the songs on my ipod shuffle were deleted because of auto sync. Can the songs be recovered anywhere or are they gone?

    I plugged my ipod shuffle first generation into my work computer (PC) and itunes deleted all the songs because of auto sync. I had checked the box to not sync with the itunes library because there were no songs in the library. But I guess auto sync was still turned on, and it "synced" all the songs off of my ipod. Are these songs recoverable anywhere or are they just gone?
    Thanks,
    Frustrated User

    The 1st gen (and 2nd gen) iPod shuffle does not have a mode where it automatically syncs to your iTunes library.  It uses manual loading all the time (or the Autofill feature).  So iTunes did not delete its content because of automatic syncing.
    However, it can only be used with one iTunes library at a time.  So, if you connect it to a different computer (with a different iTunes library), its existing content is erased.  You should get a warning so that you can back out.
    If you started using the shuffle with a different iTunes library, the songs that were on it are gone.
    NOTE:  The 3rd and 4th gen shuffles are different, and work more like the other "big" iPods.  If it is set for Manually manage music, you can connect it to a different iTunes library without erasing the existing content.

  • HT201210 I updated my 3GS software from Ver. 4.0 to Ver. 5.1 but iTunes did not restore my apps.  Is there a way to retrieve them, or do I have to acquire them all over again?

    I upgraded my 3GS from s.w. ver. 4.0 to 5.1, but iTunes did not restore my apps.  Can I retrieve them somehow, o do I have to download them again individually?

    Sync from iTunes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.  Select iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane, then select 'Apps' tab on the right Pane.  Make sure SYNC APPS box is checked then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.
    Alternatively, you can re-download individually from your Device

  • HT4059 I have books (paperback books) at home on my shelf. I already bought them from a store, is there a way i can put them on iBooks without having to buy them all over again?

    No. You would have to buy them again.

  • Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Hi neffn!
    I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note that, as it says in those articles:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
