I want to delete all the songs that are not in my playlists without having to delete them separately

I have like 1500 songs and only want like 700 of them

You can select some files in iTunes then right click consolidate.
Then delete the original files not in the iTunes media folder.
This way you don't have to do it all at once.
Note that when you add files to iTunes, they are copied into the iTunes media folder so anything you added in the past is already in the iTunes media folder. Consolidating wont do anything to those. Likely all you need to do is delete the original.

I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???). If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?

I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???). If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space? I have already put the originals into albums, edited them, and renamed them. Can I/should I delete all other versions located in Masters, I think? If I want to keep events, but want them to include the newly edited albums, can I delete the specific event and somehow bring the photos used in the album into a new event. Understand iPhoto just keeps space or manages photos, so how can I have events that include the edited pix and clean up disk space. Thanks.

It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
If space is an issue... use an external disk.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

How to select all the people that are not in any equipe ?

Hi,
I have a nice SQL expression that gives me as a result all the "AGENTS" (people) that are working in an EQUIPE (a team)
select a."AGENT_ID",
a."NOM" || ' ' || a."PRENOM" "Nom",
c.libelle "Equipe",
a."DATE_EMBAUCHE" "Date embauche",
a."DATE_DEBAUCHE" "Date débauche"
from OBSERVATOIRE."AGENT" a,
observatoire.equipe_agents b,
observatoire.equipe c
where a.agent_id = b.agent_id
and b.equipe_id = c.equipe_id
order by nom
Now, how to select all the agents that are NOT working in any "EQUIPE" (team) ?
I have tried but could not succeed !
Thank you for your kind help.

It is not working because the table EQUIPE_AGENTS does not contains a row if the agent is not into any equipe.
CREATE TABLE "OBSERVATOIRE"."EQUIPE_AGENTS"

     "EQUIPE_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "AGENT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE)
CREATE TABLE "OBSERVATOIRE"."AGENT"
(     "AGENT_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "GRADES_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "NOM" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "PRENOM" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
     "DATE_EMBAUCHE" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "DATE_DEBAUCHE" DATE)
The only way to "know" if an agent is not into any equipe (team) is to search into the EQUIPE_AGENTS table, and if we do not find the ID of the agent into this table, then we know that this agent is not into any EQUIPE (team).
I don't know ho to translate this into SQL.And that's what my query does. It uses an OUTER JOIN so that a result record is returned whether or not there is a record in EQUIPE_AGENTS. And the check for EQUIPE_ID is NULL restricts the result set to those where there IS NOT a record in EQUIPE_AGENTS.
A more traditional way would be to use NOT IN or NOT EXISTS clauses, but they can prove inefficient.

How to view songs that are not in any playlist

I am using iTunes 6.04.
I want to be able to view songs in my Library that are not associated with ANY playlist. How can this be done? Please don't suggest to me upgrading to iTunes 7.02. (with every iTunes update, Apple makes is more difficult to do the things Apple doesn't want you to be able to do).
Thanks
Ben

Please be patient. If you don't get a reply within a few hours, obviously nobody passed by who knew the answer to your question.
After all we're just fellow users trying to help as these are user-to-user forums.
I have an answer.
Run one of these scripts:
Not In Any Playlist will create a text listing of songs that are not in any playlist.
Not In Any Playlist To Playlist will put songs that are not in any playlist into a new playlist.
Hope this helps.

How do I create a smart playlist of songs that are not in any playlist?

I have zillions of songs and many playlists to manage them. So how do I create a smart playlist that shows songs that are not in any playlist?
An easier answer would be " Playlist > is > None" but this option is not available.
Any other creative solutions?
(...and a long list of "Playist > is not > Playlist AA" through "Playist > is not > Playlist ZQ" is not a manageable answer as my playlists are too dynamic for that. Such a playlist would always be broken.)

Maybe one of these will help:
This AppleScript will create a text file that will list the iTunes Library tracks which have not been assigned to any playlist. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylist
This script searches your iTunes or iPod Library for tracks which have not been included in any Playlists and copies them to a new discrete Playlist. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylistplaylist

If I delete an iTunes account on my iPhone, will I delete all the songs that were purchased with that account?

I had an Apple ID that was linked to an old email address that was hacked into. Now that Apple requires a login by using an email address, I had to change the email address/Apple ID on my pc. My iPhone 4 will not allow me to change the Apple ID to the new ID which ultimately leaves me unable to connect to the cloud as well. On my iPhone, it gives me the option to delete the account with the old Apple ID, but I am afraid that it may delete all the purchased music as well. Does anyone know if it will delete my purchased music. Verizon said this is an Apple problem and not a Verizon issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Tracey

Yes, pictures in Photo Stream will deleted. Only on photo stream not on iCloud and Camera Roll. You can login again if you want.

Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

Hello,
I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
Hope this helps.

Unlikely to be possible.
The iPhone/iPod Touch is designed to only sync to one computer at a time.
What you are attempting to do is sync to a 2nd computer, even though it is likely the exact same computer.
The only option that might be possible is using the manually manage music on this device option.

I want to delete all the songs with broken links at once

I lost a file with a lot of songs on it and it can't be retrieved. How can I delete all the song titles with broken links at once without having to delete 500 songs one at a time?

One way to identify the broken links in your library is to create this set of playlists:
Lost & Found playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. They can be deleted with CTRL+A then SHIFT+DELETE.
Or use iTunes Folder Watch and enable its option to check for dead tracks on startup.
If you have any Apple devices that could hold the lost media see this user tip.
Finally, while I'm handing out advice, see this backup tip to avoid this problem again.

How do I turn off Sync without iTunes deleting all the songs on my iPod!

Well that's basically my question. I want to keep all the songs that are already there, but from this point on just add new ones manually. When I unchecked the Sync box it wiped out my iPod. Thanks in advance for any help.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You need to turn off automatic sync before you delete all your tracks from iTunes. If you don't, then you need to prevent the iPod from synching when you connect:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys on a Mac. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer. Then you can set iTunes to manual synchronization.
Of course, this won't help if your iPod has already had the tracks removed. But you'll know what to do next time.
