HT201250 Every time I add/delete music to itunes, does time machine backup my entire library?  If so can I limit backup just to added music?

Usimg time machine-every time I add/delete music in itunes library does time machine backup entire file? If so,an I set it up to just backup added music?

It shouldn't be backing up the whole thing again, just the changes.

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

    I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

    The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device.  Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up.  It keeps syncing to the old library...

  • Every time I add a photo to a slideshow it messes up my entire slideshow. It puts the pics in a completely different order. What can I do to stop this?

    When using iphoto, every time I add a photo to a slideshow, it rearranges all the photos in the slideshow.  Then I have to go back and put them back in the order that I wanted. What can I do so it doesn't do this?

    Are you using a particular theme?  In the Classic theme when I add a new photo to the mix it ends up at the end of the slideshow or at the farthest right in the thumbnail tray.

  • HT201250 how do i add external hard drive to my time machine back up

    how do i add external hard drive to my time machine back up so that I may view the files independently on apple tv please?

    To elaborate on above.  I am looking to add about 300gig of photos on an external hard drive to TC. 
    Once I do this I believe I can then have itunes source its photos from TC without having them stored directly on my iMac? 
    Then I am assuming once I keep itunes on with home sharing I can stream these photos through Apple TV?
    My inital problem is getting the photos onto TC in an individual folder not just a backup folder....is that possible or what would you suggest please?

  • HT201250 How do you add an external Hard drive to time machine and share on network?

    How do you add an external Hard drive to time capsule and share it on local network?
    Lee

    Ensure it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, FAT16, or FAT32, connect it to a self-powered hub, and plug it into the Time Capsule's USB port. If the drive is Ethernet and not USB, ignore everything else and just plug it in.

  • HT201250 i seem to have deleted all my iTunes songs from my hard drive

    but i can't work out how to restore the audio files to my hard drive using Time Machine. That hard drive including all the audio files must be saved in there somewhere, I just don't know where. My various iTunes folders all seem to be incomplete, so maybe the bulk of the iTunes audio was stored elsewhere. At any rate, it should all be backed up in Time Machine but I find it very confusing to use.
    But equally, all my music should be in the iCloud so can i not just restore the music from there anyway?
    Yours confused as to how I managed to delete my iTunes files anyway...

  • Will deleting videos/playlist on Iphone 4 automatically delete files in itunes next time I sync my phone?

    I just deleted some songs/videos on my iphone to make some space to download a movie.  I want to know next time I sync my phone will those songs be deleted from my itunes folder? or will they remain.
    any sugguestions are helpful
    thanks
    jazmine

    No.  Assuming that they were in your iTunes folder, they will be put back on the phone on the next sync, unless you specify that you don't want them synced, in which case they will just stay on your computer.  I am assuming here that the videos you are referring to are videos in your iTunes library, not videos you have made that are in the camera roll.  They would be gone unless you had previously transferred them to a computer.

  • How can I find music in iTunes media folder not included in my library

    How can I find the items that are in iTunes music media file but are not currently in my library?  There is 7.5G and 1623 items in the music media file but only 5.95G and 1280 items in my library.  If I try add the media file to my library it duplicates. So how to find which files are missing from the library and only add those to my library?

    Try using a software that its designed to find duplicates, such like these: http://www.howtogeek.com/201007/how-to-find-and-remove-duplicate-files-on-mac-os -x/
    Search and proceed to do the deletions, copy or cuts necessary

    i have a new ipod (80GB)and i cannot delete anything from itunes. when i highlight and try delete/backspace nothing happens. when i right click on an item the menu that opens does not include a clear or delete option.
    please help?!?!?!?!/
    i went through all the possible options in the other forum
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5481041#5481041
    and i got 8 or 9 replies - without any success.
    i have the latest itunes version and have it reinstalled again and again.
    the otions i get when highlight and right click on a song in the music section in itunes are:
    get info
    rating
    shoe in windows explorer
    reset play count
    reset skip count
    convert selection for ipod
    convert selection for apple tv
    uncheck selection
    mark as not new
    add to playlist
    show in playlist
    copy
    get album artwork
    apply sort field
    so there is no clear nor delete!
    how on earth can i get my list smaller????
    i am starting to think about all those lovely windows mp3 players.
    cheers - udo

    no idea what happened here but for a moment i was actually able to delete songs from my playlist which caused me to loose a few songs. i then closed everything off and restarted and now it appears to work. the strange thing is i haven't changed a thing. however i will closely monitor this and if it stays like this i have no further reason to get my fingers in a twist. as i said a mystery to me, anyhow thanks to all who were involved trying to help.
    cheers -udo

  • Delete and reinstall itunes does not work?

    I have tried to delete and install a newer version of Itunes on my Windows XP computer. First of all I cannot delete Bonjour nor Itunes set up  and I cannot install a newer version, which I have downloaded. Please help.

    Many thanks. That's perfect.
    When I try to remove Bonjour the following message comes up: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Then the following: The installation resource for this product is not available.
    When I try to remove ITunes I get the same first message as for Bonjour and then the following: The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\Marianne Swan\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    Another message I get is: an older version of Bonjour cannot be removed, get in touch with your technical person.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Next, in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (6) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I switched music from iTunes from my old laptop to my new one, but can't get the music to play

    I seem to be having problems with my new laptop, specifically in playing music on iTunes.  I have a HP Envy using Windows 8.  I downloaded the compatible version of iTunes for Windows 8 and moved the music from my old laptop (Dell Latitude D830) to my new one.  I tried to play some of the music and after clicking play nothing happens.  I have also noticed that I seem to have difficulties running the program if I don't run it as administrator.  So if there is any advice anyone could give me I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Every time I add new songs from itunes to my phone, it deletes the ones i previously synced. how do i fix that?

    Usually I would be able to add music without it deleting. and randomly it started deleting when i add new songs. I really need to add new music and this is really bothering me, PLEASE HELP

    If you manually manage photo storage, create a parent folder which will contain the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPad only. Under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder followed by a sync. All named folders of photos in the parent folder will be transferred to your iPad as separate albums.
    To add additional photos, place the photos in one of the existing named folders of photos in the parent folder, or create a new folder for the additional photos and place the new folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.
    To remove a folder of photos from your iPad, move the folder of photos out of the parent folder followed by a sync.
