Is there a way to deselect all songs in a folder?

Christmas is done, and I'm ready to put all Holiday music to bed for a year. My Holiday music folder contains an awful lot of albums & songs and it will take me a long time to deselect all of the music one song at a time. (When I use the itunes dj for all music, it loves to play my Holiday songs, much to my annoyance). Is there a way to deselect all of the songs in this folder much like one would do in Yahoo mail, for instance?
Thanks in advance.

To check or uncheck all boxes on a Mac with one click, hold down the Command (cmd) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse. You can use this in a library, a playlist or in search results.

  • Is there a way to rename all photos in a folder?

    Is there a fast way to rename all the photos in one folder e.g. I have diffreent folders say "wedding" and "birthday" with alot of photos in each. Is there a way to rename all photos in the folder to the same name like all called wedding?
    Also when i open photos they automatically open with preview, do I need to impost them into iPhoto or should they just automatically save there?

    Are these photos in iPhoto? If so, then use the Photos -> Batch Change command.
    IF not then you can use a batch file renamer such as Name Mangler
    iPhoto is a database and can only show pics that have been imported to the DB.

  • Is there a way to download all songs from the cloud in one step?

    Is there any way to download all my songs from the cloud in one step?

    Ok, if you're wondering about an iOS device, there is no way to do that - you have to tap all of the cloud icons.
    But I do have a workaround.
    Store all the songs all locally on your Mac
    Disable iTunes Match on your iOS device
    Plug your iOS device into the computer (or this can be done with Wifi sync)
    Sync all songs to your device
    Now enable iTunes Match on your iOS device
    You now have all songs stored locally on your iOS device and iTunes Match is enabled, so your metadata syncs over iCloud, and you no longer have to plug your device in to update its music library. :)

  • Is there a way to transfer all songs off of an ipod and not just purchases?

    I recently purchased an MSI wind netbook, with windows xp home. I was wondering if there is a way to import all songs into the itunes library? I have all of my songs on a gateway solo, but I screwed that computer up and have never gotten around to fixing it. I enabled disk mode on the ipod, and accessed the hidden files on the ipod. I can get to all of my songs, but their names are all four capitol letters. I could copy them all to a new folder and then import them, but this would be only as a last resort as I dont have the patience to spend 5 hours organizing the songs. Please help!

  • Is there a way to deselect all of the music in iTunes at one time?

    Is there a way to deselct all of the music in iTunes at one time?  I tried the Select All choice but didn't see anything after that.

    Do you mean uncheck everything?
    Command click any checkbox to check/uncheck all.
    What's the reason you want to uncheck everything?
    If it is to select what to sync, it's easier to create playlists and sync only those playlists.
    Then simply add/delete fomr a playlist to remove it from syncing.

  • Is there a way to transfer all songs including the ones downloaded from cds on to a new computer?

    I have just downloaded itunes on to a new laptop and when I have tried to tranfer the songs from my ipod on to it I was only able to tranfer the songs that i had purchased through itunes.
    Is there any way of transfering the songs that are on my ipod the weren't purchased through itunes?

    Ideally you would transfer you working library, or a backup of it, from your old computer to your new one. If that's not possible then...

  • Is there any way to play all songs in a playlist folder on an iPod/iPhone?

    iTunes allows you to play all songs from a specific playlist folder, but so far I haven't figured out a way to do that on my iPhone (4s, 32gb). Is there a way?

    I agree that it seems crazy that this can't be done on an iPhone.
    Here is the best work around I have found so far.
    (It's much quicker and easier to do than to describe.)
    In outline, you make an elementary Automator patch
    that uses your playlist folder to create a hard coded playlist on iTunes
    then just sync across to your iPhone.
    1/ Run Automator on your Mac.
    2/ In the Automator library select 'Music'.
    3/ Under Actions for 'Music' select "Get specified iTunes items" and drag this into the workflow area.
    4/ Using the  "Get specified iTunes items" widget  in the workflow area, press the "add" button.
    5/ This allows you to choose from a menu that will include your playlist folder.
    6/ Now under Actions for Music select "Add songs to playlist" and drag this into the workflow area
        so that the results of the first widget will feed into it.
    7/ In the  "Add songs to playlist" widget choose "New playlist". Then enter any name for your new playlist.
    8/ Run the patch (takes a fraction of a second).
    9/ Sync generated playlist to iphone.
    Job done.

  • Is there any way to find all songs not associated with a playlist?

  • HT1535 Is there a way to delete all songs, music videos, tones, and TV shows from my iPad?

    I can't figure out how to delete songs and videos and such manually on my computer while the iPad is synced. Some of my songs and videos copied on my iPad twice and one set of the songs and videos doesn't play at all. But, I can only delete the set that can actually play. I want to delete all my songs and videos and re-sync everything.

    Most music can be redownloaded but movies cannot.
    There is no need to re-download anything.
    Close iTunes.
    Delete or move the iTunesLibrary.itl and iTunesLibrary.xml files from the iTunes folder.
    Launch iTunes and create a new library.

  • I lost my iPod touch and now have a new one.  Is there a way to transfer all the songs on have in iTunes onto the new iPod?

    I lost my iPod touch and bought a new one?  Is there a way to transfer all the songs I have in iTunes onto the new iPod?  I am scared I will lose it all when I sync the new one or that I have to start all over.   Please help!!

    You can do better than that. You can click on the Restore button that appears under your device in iTunes. This will restore your iPod to factory settings as if it were fresh out of the box. But don't worry. By doing a restore, you will then be given the option to "Restore from Backup." This will allow you to restore the state of your previous iPod!!

  • Is There A Way To See All Apps And Songs You Purchase?

    I wanted to buy a song from iTunes with my gift card credit. When I scrolled to see my credit i didnt think it was right .So after adding up all the things I know I purchased the amount left over wasn't the same as the credit it was showing. So is there a way to see all of your purchases from the app store and iTunes store at one time?

  • The hard drive on our computer died and we lost all of our purchases in the account. Is there a way to recover the songs we have paid for? If we plug in our iPod to a new account, won't it erase everything during the synch process? Help!

    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then transfer purchases form your ipod.
    Without syncing, click File>Transfer Purchases

    I supsect you did the update on other than your syncing computer. If yu did the app, music and synced photo will not be on the iPod after the update since those items are not in the backup that iTunes makes. See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    The above applies to all updates performedvia USB on a computer. To get stuff back, restore from backup on the syncing computer.
    The above in my educated guess since you provided litle information about how you did the update.
    You can redownload many iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
