I accidentally deleted an album from my itunes library and i want to buy it again but itunes is saying that i have already purchased it but i don't have it in my library. How do i buy the album again?

Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

How can i delete songs from both the itunes and hard drive at the same time?

A Espinoza,
The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities. So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.

How do I select a song from my ITunes Library and apply to a picture folder for a slide show?

How do I selcet a song from my ITunes library and apply it to a picture folder for a slide show. I have a PC, not a Mac.

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

OK. I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created. And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist. I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either. I even talked to a supervisor. He was stumpped. It looks like a bug has infected the system. I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem. I believe if it works, don't update.
I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
Help!

"ok and how exactly do i do that? "
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Did you fail to maintain a backup? That is not good.

Deleted an artist from my itunes library and songs became incorrectly labled. Easy fix?

Hi,
I deleted an artist from my iTunes library by right clicking and selecting delete on the artist name on the left side of the screen using the "artist" view (in case that is relevant). Not long after, I noticed that approximately 5% of my library had become shuffled around. A track would be mislabled, given an existing track name that was incorrect and attributed to a different artist (ie suddenly Airbag by Radiohead was shown in my library as Caring is Creepy by the Shins). The only information that seemed to follow the track to its new, incorrect location was the length of the track and the album art. As soon as I would select an incorrectly labled song to play the information would become correct and it would replace the song mostly where it belongs (although now many of my albums and artists are split into multiple entries for some reason), and I hunted out a pretty decent portion of the problem songs and fixed them that way, but many are still missing and I have a massive library. Short of literally pressing play on every single song in my library is there a way to fix this? It has also messed up my iPhone (4) in it's ability to search alphabetically, as several of the artist names appear out of sequence in the alphabetical list. I have to believe that there is some blanket way to fix this problem in one process, and I have tried selecting my whole library, right clicking and selecting "get info" hoping it would trigger something but that didn't do anything.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Travis
P.S. Note to Apple, $19 for a support call, really?

Restore the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your backup.

Is it possible to sync one iPhone to two Macs? One for the music library and one for contacts, emails etc

At home I have two Macs, one for work and another which acts as a sort of entertainment hub storing all my music, podcasts and videos as well as being for the family to use.
Is it possible to sync my one iPhone to both Macs, with the work one just syncing things like my contacts, emails, calendars and apps while the other Mac would sync just the podcasts and music to the iPhone.
Would this cause any problems and what is the correct way to go about this?
Thanks for any help, tips and advice.

As wjosted said, it's possible, but it's not recommended.
Email does not sync with a computer. Only email account information is. Mail itself is synced with the mail server.
Why not just sync with the computer you keep your media on and use iCloud (or whatever cloud service you want) to sync the rest? Seems simpler to me.

Some of my songs were not copied fully into iCloud from my music Library and re-syncing does't work to make them whole again

When I migrated to a mini my iTunes libraries got messed up. And some songs were only partially copied to the cloud. Now no matter what have
done the cloud replaces my efforts with the same partial song. So when that song is being played back the audio drops out but the song keeps playing
the same song the rest of the in silence, but ends within the right amount of time.
Very wierd, I have spent hours on this.

Try redownloading by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

TS1470 Downloaded songs stop mid-song in iTunes music library and on iPod.

I received the 'secure network connection could not be established' error message several times during a recent audio download. I was able to eventually complete all of the downloads by going to the 'available downloads' area. However, when I played back the downloaded songs, several of them ended mid-song although the complete songs appear to have successfully downloaded judging by the 'Time' (minutes) count for each song. (Interestingly enough, the majority of the songs that stopped mid-song during playback were marked as having high popularity in the iTunes store.)
I've had this issue with previous downloads too. I've been charged for and have paid for these songs, but didn't receive the full product in some cases. It's very frustrating that I'm not able to enjoy these songs in their entirety.
Have other folks had this issue? What is the resolution?

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

How do you Take songs from one iTunes library and put them on another(Mac)

Well i have some songs that i don't really listen to anymore so i don't want them on my library or any of my ipods but i don't want to delete them because i bought them so i want to put them on another itunes library i created but i cant figure out how to take them out of my library and put them on the other one
how do you do that?

Open your other library, go to File>Add to library and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to add. Once they are in your new library delete them from the other library making sure that when you get the prompt to move them to trash say no. You should also back your purchases up to disc or to an external drive so you don't lose them of anything happens to your hard drive:
