I Tunes Assistance

I have my music backed up to an external hard drive with a lot of compilation album music stored under various artists folders which i have created for ease of use.
Due to problems with my iMac and support from the tech team on other issues, I am now in a position to add the music to my i tunes, however everytime i do this the I tunes does not reflect what folders I have my music in and creates new folders such as compilations. In addition the list of songs defaults to a previous library that has no relation to the folders I have moved across.
can anyone help me with the following please ?
How do I move the music across and get the I tunes to mirror the folders the music is in and not keep re creating how it was previously?
Secondly can I stop I tunes creating a new compilation folder overtime I play a song from one of these albums therefore leaving some songs in one folder and some in another ?
Thanks

Hi Limnos,
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I am not sure if I quite explained myself very well - sorry a bit new to this all so will try and explain again.
On an external hard drive I have a folder with all my music in - overtime I copy thiss across it seems to default to an old I tunes library and does not mirror the folders to the tracks listed in i tunes under songs
for example - I have various artists - dance and various artists - R and B as individual folders under the main music folder, however when I add in it seems to default all to various which is how it was previously set up.
How do I get I tunes listings to mirror how my folders are set up?
Secondly when I p[lay a various artist track it takes it out of the folder and sets up a new compilations folder therefore if I listened to the first five songs of an abulm then these would be in a new compilations folder that i tunes seems to create and the remaining tracks would be how I transferred it over.
Is there anyway to stop this rom happening ?
Hope this helps and thanks for your response last time
Regards

Try a new SIM from your carrier. If that doesn't work, make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

HP Support Assistant Tune up and Health Analysis

I am becoming exasperated by regular failures reported during the monthly HP Support Assistant Tune up or Health Analysis on my HP Pavillion Slimline Desktop.     Usually the display disappears before I can make a screen grab.     However today I managed the following:
So why is the health analysis failing?      I am not sure whether any relevant diagnostic reports are placed on my computer.     If they are produced, then I don't know where to find them.
Or is it that I have a corrupt/out-of-date version of the Support Assistant software?
Or is there some other explanation?
I'd be grateful for any illumination.     Thanks.
This question was solved.

HP Support Assistant: Tune Up: endless loop on step 2

In running the second step of Tune Up in HP Support Assistant---Microsoft Disk Defragment---the little circle goes round and round, even after a fully day, and never stops; it seems obviously 'hung up'; any suggestions on how to remedy this?

I have the exact same problem. I have uninstalled hp support assistant, restarted and tried again but it never goes through the defrag step. Then the next time I start hp support assistant if I look on the settings the defrag option is no longer even on the menu. I see your question was asked in December of last year. Has there been a resolution? It used to work fine so I don't understand what happened.

I have some music videos for i-tunes on my i-pad. when I goto the music video playlist and select one the music play but the video does not. Is anyone able to assist me with this, Thank you...

I have some music videos on my i-pad. when I play one, the music plays but the video does not. I go under "music video" play list select and play, i get music but no video. Can someone be so kind as to help me. this problem just started today.

Thanks Johnathan for trying to assist. I purchased these music videos from i-tunes, in the past I just had to go into "Music" on the I-pad and select "music videos" then the one I wanted to play and it would just start playing with video. I don't see any "VIDEO" app. These music videos was downloaded from i-tunes and shold play through the i-pad music app. Any further suggestion?

I Tunes downloads onto my PC but won't open. Can someone assist with this dilema?

I have downloaded I Tunes to my PC numerous times. The download goes fine. When I hit the icon to open I Tunes up, nothing happens. I have removed I Tunes from my system and reloaded, and still it won't open. Can anyone help with this dilema?

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

Hi,
Try the following
First of all, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by opening windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for HP Support Assistant and select Uninstall. When this process has completed, restart the PC.
Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.

Please dont make it true what i have heared about you.

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.
Regards.

Recently I down loaded a movie from I tunes onto my iPad . I took another of my iPads , signed out the existing apple i.d. And signed in my apple I.d. Which was used to purchase the movie and downloaded it on my second iPad. It worked but when I signed out of the iPad and my mom signed back in with her apple i.d. The movie was no to be found. How can she access the movie. FYI , I bought the iPad, and the movie.
What changes should I try.

It's probably due to your 2 IDs.

How do I move mouselessly to next tune when editing Info?

Often the CDDB gets it wrong with classical CDs and I frequently must edit the information in my library.
For pieces, like symphonies, with multiple movements, I need to go into the Get Info screen (Apple-I) and edit the Name field. I usually will copy some corrected text to paste into part of the next tune’s Name field.
Is there a way to use the keyboard to move to the next tune while editing Information fields? (This would be so much faster and easier than picking up my mouse and clicking on the Next Button.)
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Tracy and Sara, thanks so much for the tip. In retrospect it seems so intuitive, but I kept trying to use the arrow keys in combination with alt-, ctrl-, etc.
Since you’ve been so kind – and knowledgeable – may I impose a bit more: When you first go into the Information window, you’re put into the Summary area. What key or keys do you use to move to Info, Options, Lyrics, or Artwork?
Once again thank you.
