Importing multiple songs in one process rather than importing one at a time

I just got a MacBook Pro. It runs OSX 10.5.4. I used to have a G4 Tower. Anytime I downloaded purchased music from iTunes or uploaded my CDs, I stored them to a removable drive.
There seems to be a lot of music missing. I don't think I downloaded everything somehow. Is there an EASY way to check to see what hasn't been downloaded and then upload everything that's missing in one move rather than importing each song individually?
Thanks,
-Beth

You can add stuff to the library by dragging and dropping onto the itunes library window. This can be multiple files or even whole folders of stuff.
But you will stiff have to determine yourself, manually, what is actually missing and not missing.
Or you can add EVERYTHING then go into iTunes and remove duplicates. Still kind of a chore.

  • I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers.  Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • Deletion of multiple songs at one time on iPod Touch

    Does anyone know a way to delete multiple song at one time on iPod Touch? For some reason, there is anywhere from 3-5 of each song in my library and I REALLY don't want to have to delete 2000 songs one by one! Please help!!!

    if you click 'file' in itunes, there is an option to 'show duplicates' this will bring up any songs which have duplicates in your library and make it easier for you to delete. unfortunately you will have to do it manually, but if you highlight several at once you wont have to hit delete too many times.

    There are two ways:
    1.  Put the individual song files into a folder, and then Zip the folder.  This creates a single .zip file.  (Note however, that a .zip file is not playable in a normal player: it is just a "holder" for the song files.)
    2.  Use an audio editor such as Audacity to concatenate the individual song files into a single song file.  This creates a single file can be played in a normal player such as iTunes.
    Technique #2 is the one normally used to create a continuous mix.

  • Can I delete multiple songs at one time from my iPad mini

    Is there a way to delete multiple songs at one time without doing a hard reset?

    Here are two ways I would try:
    You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
    If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.

  • Match is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. how can I fix this?

    I've set my iPhone to use iTunes Match, but it is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. And there isn't an oedering system on the iPhone, so I have to do it by hand. how can I fix this?

    Sad to see that people have been complaining about this since last year (although not many seem to care, which is odd). For classical music listeners it is a total slap in the face.

  • Is there a way to gift a playlist of say 10 songs all at once rather than one at a time?

    Is it possible?
    Thanks,

    Not that I have encountered, but if your provider supports webmail, you can generally accomplish it that way.

  • How do you merge multiple songs into one album?

    When I added a downloaded album to iTunes, it created one album for each track. How do I merge all of these albums/tracks into one album?

    Some albums will fracture into a million pieces if you have different artist names. How the columns are sorted can effect this.
    If it is a multiple artists on one album select 'Compilation' in the options section for all of the songs on the album. 
    NOTE: You need to have multiple items selected to set this flag!

  • How do I put parts of multiple songs into one song?

    I'm trying to make a mix of songs for my friends party and I was wondering how I could put parts of multiple songs together into one soundfile? If iTunes can't do this are their any other softwares that could do this? Thanks, appreciate it.

    Prosper,
    That is beyond the ability of iTunes, and requires the use of an audio editor.
    A free one that many people like is Audacity.
    After you do the editing in Audacity, you can export an MP3 and add it in to your iTunes library.  The original files remain unchanged.

  • Sometimes on startup, Foxfire starts as a process rather than an application such that I have to end it as a process then restart it as an application

    When I click on the foxfire icon, the sound of the disk is heard. This soon stops. The hourglass appears for a short time and then disappears. There are no other signs that the program is running as a process other than using Windows TaskManager and looking in the process list. When this happen, I delete foxfire as a process and then restart it as I normally do. This usually works in getting it started.

    Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your problem, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • How can I purchase multiple songs in one transaction?

    I have about 40 songs in my wishlist and I'd like to purchase some of them (not all at this time); is there a way to select multiple songs for purchase so I only have one charge on my card versus a bunch of individual charges for each song?

    Hi,
    For implementinq and using 2-phase commit using TUXEDO, u need to setup the following:
    1. Create separate Tuxedo Server groups each with an OPENINFO pointing to different databases.
    2. Distribute ur Tuxedo servers among these Tuxedo Groups to match the correct database these servers want.
    The thumd rule is that all Tuxedo servers belonging to a Tuxedo Server Group can access only one Resource
    Manager using the XA interface. Thats why, the OPENINFO connect information are specified at GROUP level
    and servers belong some Tuxedo server group.
    And now, you r all set for some real action.
    Write a client,
    Start a Global Transaction (tpbegin)
    Now call services from different tuxedo groups
    Commit or Rollback (tpcommit or tpabort)
    TMSes will take care that ur commits and rollbacks are consistent across different databases.
    If u need some help, feel free to write to me off the list.
    Good Luck!

  • Multiple Songs on One Page

    Is it possible to create a page in iWeb 08 that has a list of songs with one player. The page should automatically play one of these songs when it opens. The user can select any of the songs and they should play in the same page on the same player.
    Also if the QT skip buttons can be used to navigate through tracks, that would be great.

    This topic has some suggestions...

  • Why full, rather than incremental, when re-starting TIme Machine

    I had to stop Time Machine a couple of weeks ago, and remove the dedicated external drive. Yesterday, on reconnecting the drive and re-starting Time Machine it appeared to try to make a full backup (which I had to abort after two and a half hours) rather than the incremental I assumed it would make. Does this mean that each time one turns Time Machine off, it will make a full back up the next time it is restarted and an external drive connected? This seems to make irrelevant the backups already on the drive.

    I'm not completely sure but I think if you don't do a TM backup for ten days TM gives you a warning that you haven't backed up in 10 days and if you ignore it, it erases TM history. this makes it start a new series of backups once you reconnect.
    I use my G5 rarely, sometimes not for weeks and I have never had a TM warning about a "stale" backup. When I turn it on, it simply schedules the next backup, which is incremental, as always, and proceeds about an hour later.
    I have never seen that "Ten Day" warning.
    I think I have also let my other MBP sit unused for over 10 days and have never seen the warning.
    However, I always start up these machines with the TM drive connected. Running them with the drive disconnected may be a completely different situation. In oher words, when I start these two rarely used computers, there is really nothing new to backup. That may be the difference. If you use the computer for 10 days or more with the TM drive disconnected that may cause the warning flag to be raised.

  • Updating multiple PSA requests one at a time

    In a PSA we have multiple requests that aren't updated into data targets. If I update to a infocube, I think all these requests will be updated together under a single DTP request. Is there a way to update the requests in PSA one at a time?
    Thanks.

    Yes you can update request by request.
    Delta DTP - " Get Data by Request " - Set this feature and run the Delta DTP.
    This will extract request by request - First in First out basis  ( in PSA  )
    I beleive this will not fetch the loaded request, if at all it does run a Pseudo/Fake DTP with filter set such that it will not extract any records from that request.

  • Multiple sites, publish one at a time?

    I have multiple sites, but when I publish them they all publish together. Can I just publish one at a time??? If not, this program is not very good..

    I just want to select one SITE and
    upload it, not have all the others upload too. Anyway
    to get aroud that?
    It should not upload a site that has no changes. But there is no way to avoid uploading changes, unless you want to start using separate Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain files for each site.
