Is it possible to have songs in the iTunes library that I do not want to be added to iTunes Match?

I ask this because a few days ago my iTunes library crashed and iTunes does not recognize my purchases anymore so I have a lot more than 25,000 songs in my library and instead of deleting 600 songs from my library, I would like to select some of them so they won't be added to iTunes Match. Does anybody know if this is possible?

I didn't say "re-create" I said "restore from a backup." Restoring from a backup will place all the files just as they were right back where they need to be. This includes the .itl, .itdb ad .xml files iTunes needs to recognize that the files on the internal HDD are the same as the files in the cloud.
You do have a backup, don't you? If you don't then I strongly recommend you start backing up immediately.
If all else fails you can email iTunes Store support and ask them to reset your iTunes Match DB on the server. This will require your iTunes to go through the entire scan, match and upload process as if it were the first time.

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

HT1535 How do I put music into iTunes that is on my iPod touch? I have music on my iPod touch that is not in my iTunes library. I do NOT want to loose these songs when I sync to iTunes.

Recently I had to replace my computer with a new one. The old hard drive died and there was no way of retrieving any of my data from the dead computer. When I downloaded iTunes onto my new computer there were several songs missing in my iTunes library. I was able to retrieve most through purchased music, however there was some music that I had downloaded from other sources and that music is still on my iPod touch. How do I put music into my iTunes library that is on my iPod touch but not in the iTunes library? I do not want to loose the music on my iPod when I sync to iTunes library.

As for the content purchased from BN.com that shows up in the nook app... check with Barnes and Noble to see if it's possible for that content to show up on your computer.

You might still be able to recover them using one of the methods discussed in this older thread, but many of them require a full functional, noncorrupted iPod filesystem in order to work properly.

How do I view the computers I have authorized for access to my Itunes library. I do not want to do a blanket deauthorization. I want to asee what I have authorized.

How do I view the computers I have authorized for access to my Itunes library?I do not want to do a blanket deauthorization. I want to asee what I have authorized.

As far as I am aware, there is no way to do this. You have to de-authorize them individually from the computer you want to de-authorize, or de-authorize all and authorize just the ones you need.

I have a one year CC subscription that i do NOT want to renew. It is ended July 15 2014. I don't understand how I end this subscription. I don't want to cancel it now, just be sure that it will NOT be renewed. How?

Hi there
Please check here: Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
You can cancel your membership after payment for month 12 has been taken if you don't want to renew for another year. Your month 12 payment is due on 15th June so you can cancel anytime after this date and before 15th July. You will still have access for that period.
Kind regards

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Can I store files on the Time Capsule that I do not want to keep on my macbook pro?

I want to store a large quantity of powerpoint files for my reference but do not want to bog my hard drive down on my macbook pro. Is this possible or does the time capusle only back up what is currently on my laptop?

If you delete the "original" files on your Mac, then Time Machine....which tracks changes on your Mac....will at some point delete the files as well from the backups. You just don't know when.
Even if the files stay on your Time Capsule for some time.....you have no backups in the event of problem with the Time Capsule, since your backups are now the only copies that you have.
Suggest that you add an external hard drive to your Mac and move the PowerPoint files over there. Then, Time Machine will backup both your Mac and the hard drive.
So, you have a good backup strategy with "originals" on one drive and "backups" on another.

SP2 fixed the mySites bug that I did not want fixed

After installing my MOSS 2007 service pack 2 I noticed user getting redirected to mySites instead of the userdisp.aspx. I would like to have my users only go to the userdisp.aspx page. I understand that on the click of a user name the userdisp.aspx page redirects to person.aspx on port 3142 (mySites). I tried to remove the redirect with no luck. Could anybody please tell me how do I configure SharePoint to display only the userdisplay.aspx profile page rather than going to mySites. In addition, I changed the profile service link to something random I a hope that if SharePoint could not find mySites it would default to the userdisp.aspx but this did not seem to work either. Any suggestions would be welcome...

I was able to create a workaround by overriding the Person.aspx in the MySite with SharePoint designer.
It will redirect the viewer to a Person.aspx page listed elsewhere and remove the Source, Title and ReturnUrl query string variables added on by Person.aspx.
<%@ Page Language="VB" ClassName="ProfileRedirect" Inherits="System.Web.UI.Page" %>
<%
Dim l_initial As Boolean = True
Dim l_queryString As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
For Each key As String In Request.QueryString.AllKeys
If (key.ToLower() = "source") Then
Continue For
End If
If (key.ToLower() = "title") Then
Continue For
End If
If (key.ToLower() = "returnurl") Then
Continue For
End If
If (l_initial) Then
l_queryString.Append("?")
l_initial = False
Else
l_queryString.Append("&")
End If
l_queryString.Append(key)
l_queryString.Append("=")
l_queryString.Append(Request.QueryString(key))
Next
Response.Redirect("http://www.sharepointsite.com/search/Person.aspx" & l_queryString.ToString())
%>
Remember to add /Person.aspx to allow scripting in your MySite's web.config:
<PageParserPaths>
<PageParserPath VirtualPath="/Person.aspx" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" />
</PageParserPaths>
So in my situation, when the user goes to UserDisp.aspx, that will redirect to the MySite, then will run this script, which will redirect to the custom Person.aspx with Person.aspx?accountname=DOMAIN\User.

I have multiple images in my organizer that i do not want

I have multiple duplicates of images in my organizer , how can i get rid of them , how can i prevent thsi from happening in the future???

To search for duplicates :
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Find_and_delete
Avoiding duplicates:
Only you can tell the reasons, but a few questions might help:
- how do you import your pictures in the catalog : via the downloader, from camera, from card reader ?
- Do you use 'watched folders' ?
- Do you use face recognition ?
- Do you frequently export files for different projects ?
- Do you work with other external softwares such as video or slideshow editors ?
- If you work with the downloader, did you check the option to ignore already imported files ?
- Do the duplicates have the same file name in different folders, or slightly different names in the same folder ?
- Are the duplicate the same size or is one of them of very different size ?
Can you compare duplicates to see in which folder they are ? That might give you a hint about how they were produced ?
Also, which PSE and OS version ?

I forgot my security question i need to reset them but i can not figure out how to i have 25 dollars on my account that i do not want to lose over this somebody please help me thank you

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

My husband and I use the same computer. He has his Itunes library that updates his ipod. I have my ITunes library that updates my ipod. How can we share songs between us?

My husband and I use the same home computer. He has his ITunes library that links to his Ipod. I have my ITunes library that links to my Ipod. How can we share songs between our libraries? (Windows - Vista)

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

Is it possible to have songs in the iTunes library that I do not want to be added to iTunes Match?
