I can't synchonize my complete itunes library( only purchased tunes) copy to my iTouch anymore?

My iTouch was accidently erased so I had to start over. In doing so I wanted to put back my iTunes and for some reason only my purchased tunes uploaded. My existing tunes( unpurchased) remain on my PC iTunes application. I'm having trouble synching from PC to iTouch. Something to do with my PC setting. Not sure? Thanks,,,

Well these songs do not play in my iTunes Library now, although they used to!! When I try to play one I get a message that the source file can't be found. I think the problem may be that the link between iTunes and the music files has been lost somehow. How do I designate where the library of files is located? I think I have 2 locations for music files on my desktop somehow.
The songs used to be on my iPod in the past - other than the 3-4 albums I've purchased from the iTunes store, all the music came from my CD collection copied into iTunes.

  • How can I get my  complete iTunes library list back?

    I just downloaded a song from the iTunes Music Store. I don't know what I did, but now my screen only shows two recordings of the same song.
    1. I want my library screen to show ALL of my songs, preferably in alphabetical order, if that is possible.
    2. I want the songs to play in the order in which they are on the screen, if that is possible. How can I do this?

    The browser is very useful to find stuff.
    You can click in genre, Artist or Album and start to
    type what you're looking for. Or click on a song and
    start to type.
    Also, the Search box in the upper right
    I'm learning some little tricks, but the most important thing for me is to have All of the songs in one list. I now know how to do this when something happens to change this setting. Other than this, I admit that there are times that I want to see all of the songs asociated with one particular artist. I can now do that also. As to "genre" or "album," I have no interest. "Genre" seems to be a very subjective classification. I wish iTunes didn't have all of their unnecessary and subjective classifications. All I need are artists and songs, and I find them unnecesarily difficult to find in the iTunes Music Store, but that's another story.
    As to the search feature, I knew about it, but it only works when you don't have your songs broken down into so many categories. One list, that's all I need. "Most popular," "top 25," etc. are unnecesary and unwanted complications.

  • How can I back-up my Itunes library?

    I need to have my MAC (Snow Leopard) hard drive replaced.  How can I back up my iTunes Library?

    Just drag-copy the entire iTunes folder, presuming all your content is in that folder, to your backup device.

  • I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why?

    I used scripting brigde to add a movie that has size bigger than 5GB, exactly after two minutes iTunes return a failed, but the processing of the file is actually added to iTunes Library successfully. The copying take more than 5 minutes to complete. Why the iTunes Scripting Brigde returned failed when it is actually success? It occurred exactly 2 minutes after submit the request to Scripting Brigde. Is this 2 minutes related to the Apple Event time out? if it does, how do I get around this problem? thx

    I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account?  I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

  • How can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    how can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
    Windows 7 or 8: \Users\username\Music\
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you just moved to the internal hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .
    After following these steps, iTunes will open and your iTunes Library will be restored.

    Hi Niel.  Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy?   1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library?  2 - How do you organize the library?  3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs?  Thanks

  • Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

    Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

    Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

  • Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?

    Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?  I've been connecting my iPhone to each and it's causing problems for me with them being different, despite my purchases always being under the same Apple ID.

    The easy way to do this is to keep the library on an external drive which you can plug into either computer.  Of course this isn't always the desirable solution.  You can try routinely copying the library from computer to computer though this gets tiresome. 
    Of possible relevance:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music."  -  e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.

  • Can't add songs to itunes library

    I have a file with 87 songs in it and when i went to add the file to itunes library only 57 came up. i have tried adding songs by them selves. checked there tags and song names, and everything is normal but itunes wont add them... and no error message apears when doing so *** ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY PLZ~

    Try http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0086.html it is an MP3 validator on your mp3's that will not play.
    It could also be that the TAGS are not correctly written. There are a lot of problems when the tags are in the ID3v2.4 format. It's better if you switch to writing ID3v2.3 UTF-16 Tags. You can us a program like Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html) to write the tags, and remove unwanted tags.
    Ps: As always make backups of your audio files before you try anything.

  • HT201317 How can i delete the complete Photo Library?

    How can i delete the complete Photo Library, as i can delete from the camera roll, but there dosent seem to be an obvious way to completely delete the Photo Library or items in the library either? There is no delete option like for the user generated albums...
    I have tried deleting from the Camera Storage in the Settings menu, the delete appears but when pressed nothing happens.

    I'm sorry but the way you worded the question I thought you were referring to iPhoto's library on the computer. I don't use an iPhone or the iPhoto app, so I can't answer your question in that regard.
    Since you already marked the topic as solved when it was not, I recommend you re-post your topic. Just use a different topic title such as, "Help with iPhoto app on iPhone 5."
