Import more than 4 songs at a time???

Just picked up the new 80gb. All of my music is on a dedicated hard drive. I dont want all of it imported to itunes. When i click >File>Add To Library I get a small window that shows all of my music (80,000 tracks) alpabetically by band (then by song). When I click a song, then shift (or control) to import multiple songs, then >Add, it seems Itunes wont let me add more than 4 at a time. Big hassle when I want to import so much more than that.
Question # 1 - Can I add songs thru a different method?
Question #2 - Can I change settings somewhere to allow way more than 4 songs to be added through <File<Add to Libray...
Please walk me through it in simplified terms and THANKS

*All of my music is on a dedicated hard drive. I dont want all of it imported to itunes.*
Do you mean you do not want all of it copied to your internal drive?
You don't have to do this at all.
You cannot play a song in iTunes unless it is added to the library.
Adding to the library simply means it is in iTunes, It doesn't meanit is copied to the internal drive (unless you want it to be).

Importing more than one at a time

when I try to use the option to import files that are on my computer already it only allows me to do one at a time I have tried both a shift and a control key to try to get more than one file at a time and it does not work so from what I have read i used the add folder option to add music to my library. the problem is then that if I want to try to "get CD Track names" it says this can only be used on files that were imported in iTunes please try importing the file again. I do not want to have to do a file at a time just to use some of the fetures is there a easier way?

Either use finder to drag and drop those tracks onto
"Library" in iTunes' left "Source" column or from
iTunes Menu Files use "Add to Library ..." then
navigate to a folder that keep a yoru tracks and
select that folder.
This did it! I was doing an "import" which would only let me do one song at a time. But the "add to library" and the drag and drop both worked. Thanks!!!

Hi Derek,
It sounds like you were looking to back convert TO the PDF format. To do this, you'll want to look at our desktop application, Adobe Acrobat.
As you requested, I have initiated a return of your CreatePDF subscription.

Is there any way to import more than one song at a time

Im importing the songs that i have on my harddrive and i just wanted to know if there was a way to import more than one at a time plz tell me there is because this is boring and it's going to take forever thx

Try the 'add folder to library' option under file on the main menu.

HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store. Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist. I tried to downloaad more than one at a time. The download stopped. Now I can not download at all.

I can no longer download music from itunes store. It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist. I tried to download more than one at a time. It stopped. Now I cant download at all. Even rebooted my machine.

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

Import more than one file at a time

Is there a way to import more than one file at-a-time to LR?

PC or Mac?
You can import whole folder/directory strctures if you want. In LR click on Import in Library or Shift-Cmd/Ctl-I and the initial Finder/Explorer dialogu should let you choose a Folder/Derectory, not just an individual file, though you should be able to Shift Click multiple folders/files as well.

Repercussions of importing more than 50 users?

Does anyone know what the repercussions are of importing more than 50 users in the workgroup mode?
I have about 250 users to import so that they can use the iCal service, and upon importing my 51st, I was warned that the recommended maximum of imported users is 50.
Thanks!

Right, I'm not sure how many users it can import at a time, but I went one by one, all the way up to 200.
After that, it simply would not add any more, as well as displaying a message that it can't write to the directory. I have confirmed with Apple support that 200 is the limit by design.

IPhoto gives import error "file not valid" when import more than one photo

Trying to import lots of photos.
Every time I try to import more than a few, I get an error that "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type of the files may not contain valid data)."
When I go back to importing just one at a time, it works fine every time.
I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library as well.
I have tried also not copying into the iPhoto library and copying into the iPhoto library (using Preferences/Advanced/Importing).
Any help would be great.
This is painful doing one-by-one, and each one I bring in shows as a separate event...
Every once in a while I will get lucky and it will import more than 5, though I will still get the error before it imports all selected. Ugh!

Unfortunately did not work.
And now a silly question - how do I get to be able to see my original iPhoto library? When I try to open it, I don't see any of the albums and mobileme galleries I had created anymore (though I can still see them on the web)

Why won't Garage band let you open more than one project a time..

Why won't Garageband let you open more than one project a time???? If thats the way its is set up...that is really lame. Even the worst audio programs allow you to run a few projects at a time.
I recorded a gig the other night... then I dumped the whole set on to one track. When I wanted to copy and paste individual songs into their own project it made me close the current project. Is there a way around this???
Joe

Heh, heh. Yes, this is true. Alas... BUT, if you want to compare one project with another, it can be done.
There is another advantage to making another copy of GarageBand. I created a copy and call it "GarageSymphony" that contains all my instrument specific icons for orchestral packs. This way I do not mess up the GarageBand application.
I would not be surprised to find multiple windows become available in GB4. I was more than pleased to find this change in iMovie 6.

How can I return files in Trash, more than 1 at a time? I can place many files into Trash at a time.

I placed many unix.exe files into Trash, more than one at a time. I recently updated 'QuickTime' and the Mac version of 'SilverLight"
(name might be totally 'correct). I don't know if removing these files can impede my iMac 2008 running OS 10.6.8(updated SnowLeopard).
I know I can 'return' one file from Trash at a time. When I try to return more than one ('mouse click' and 'drag'
over 2 or more files, the'return' option isn't listed. Is there a way I can either 'return all' or return more than one file
at a time?

Only one at a time. But where are they from? Did you delete system files or are these Windows files (.exe is a Windows extension?)

On 4S how can I delete emails more than one at a time in my Inbox

Just got the iPhone 4S (first ever iPhone for me). When I have emails in my Inbox and I want to delete them is there a way to delete more than one at a time? I know when I go to the Trash it lets me "delete all". I get quite a bit of emails and it's a huge waste of time to only be able to delete one at a time in the Inbox.

I'm trying to find a way of clicking one box/area and it deleting all the emails in the Inbox.
It can't be done from the iPhone. You could use Safari, access your webmail and delete from there, if that's easier.

Multiple AirPort Express units - use more than one at a time?

If I connect three Airport Express units in three different rooms, can I use more than one at a time?
Can I choose to only use 2 out of the 3 at one time?
Thanks.

Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.
