Is there a way to mass delete any song with an exclamtion point next to it?

All of the sudden after resetting the sync history in iTunes (while trying to troubleshoot the fact that the upgraded OS4 was only syncing about 25% of my total music library), all of the sudden all of the tracks that it didn't sync (the other 75%) all have exclamation points next to them in iTunes, which for each song indicates "The song can not be used because the original file cannot be found".
Therefore, is there a way to mass delete all of these song names in iTunes? (then I can copy and paste the actual files into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder and the path to the file should work? (THEORETICALLY OF COURSE)... and... What would cause such a random error? (So frustrating because iTunes can locate where the file is when I click the button "yes" to the question "Would you like to locate it?", but at the me time two seconds earlier it's telling me "The original file cannot be found". ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Truly RIDICULOUS apple. It's like DUDE, ***? Is this some kind of strange gliche with the new piece of crap OS4 (which I don't even need because I didn't get one of the "four" iPhone 4's that were released)?

Therefore, is there a way to mass delete all of these song names in iTunes?
Yes, you can simply highlight all the songs with the exclamation point at once and then RIGHT CLICK and choose DELETE. This will remove them from the iTunes list all at once.

Either the patch was disconnected somehow during the upgrade OR user changed the music's location (which in this case you did not).

Is there a way to overwrite the ORIGINAL songs with my iTunes library info?

Hi there,
I would like to know if there is a way to overwrite the original songs with my iTunes library info? What I mean is, I have MANY songs that I have transferred to iTunes (and were obviously not purchased from iTunes) and I always put the info (such as the album name, the album art, artist, composer, etc.) and it leaves the original song (like the songs that are in "My music" section that is in "My Documents") with the same info. For example : The song that I put into the library will be "chamiionaire feastureing flip"... and in the iTunes, I put it as "Chamillionaire ft. Lil Flip". How do I make it so that it replaces the "original" info (located in my documents) with the info I put in?

Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

Is there a way to PERMANENTLY DELETE purchased songs from your iTunes/iTunes account

Hi
I have 11 purchased songs in my iTunes library. Since iOS7 i have not been able to remove these songs from my 3rd party music player.
I would like to permanently remove these songs from my iTunes account, my iTunes, my iPhone. I don't want to see these songs appear on any of my devices ever again.
Is there a way to remove these purchases permanently so they are no longer available/associated with my account?
Please! Any help is appreciated, this is seriously annoying.

Turning off iCloud will not accomplish anything, unless you simply wish to sign out your AppleID for itunes adn app store. Then of course, you would not be able to purchase apps or other content.
Any itunes or App store purchases can be set to hidden, as ckuan instructs. These would not show up on your device. But no, there is not way to completely delete content purchases.
You can offer Apple feedback here, if you wish: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages with no backup?

Is there any way to retrieve text message conversations with no backup on an iPhone 4S?

If there is no backup, there is nothing to recover the message from.
You might check to see if your carrier can provide the message, but it would never appear on your device again.

Within iTunes is there a way to autiomatically delete duplicate songs

Within iTunes is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate songs - i.e. I know how to find and identify the duplicates but do not want to have to remove them one by one?

No... for the simple fact that iTunes has no way of knowing which is the correct one to keep. In many cases, duplicate songs are not simply duplicate entries in the library database but are in fact multiple copies of the same song.

Is there a way to automatically delete every song saved to a library? I have over 400 songs on a library, only 2% of which I'd like to have on my iPod.

So, having had iTunes on my computer for SO long, my tastes have changed alot. I started syncing songs onto a newer laptop, but it recently broke and until I can get 280 bucks to replace the hard drive, I've gotta use my old one- which has 450 songs, none of which I want to listen to. Anyways, I was gifted an iPod Shuffle recently and I wanted to connect it to get some of those 400 songs back, because there was like 10 or 12 that i really liked and wanted to keep. So, now I have to manually scroll down a list of 450 songs and uncheck them all, save the 10 or so I want to keep. Is there any way I can do this differently? In case you are going to respond with a different way to re-download those 10 songs, there ARE other reasons. I just dont really have the time right now to list them all.

No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

Is there a way to associate the same song with two different albums?

Here's what I would like to do if it's possible. I recently purchased Mothership, the Led Zeppelin compilation album. That album has about 4 songs from Led Zeppelin 4. I'm hoping I could purchase the remaining songs from Zeppelin 4, then somehow copy the 4 songs from Mothership over and associate them with Zeppelin 4 to complete the album, yet still keeping them as a part of the Mothership collection. I don't really want to re-purchase those 4 songs again. Is this do-able?

Hello - What I would do is this: (forgive me for being thorough..) And this would ony work with physical store-bought CDs:
1) insert cd & wait for iTunes to open;
2) then, close iTunes
3) double-click on the cd icon, figure out which track(s) you want, then select them & option-drag to make a copy of them on the desktop.
4) IF iTunes already "named" the songs, click on each song and change the name to something else (i.e. track 01 or whatever)
5) drag this "nameless" track into iTunes and then drag the songs into the playlist where you want the duplicate of the song.
6) now that the nameless song is in the new playlist, go ahead and give it its correct name, artist, album, etc.
I think this should work. Forgive me again for being overly simplistic. Hope it works.

Any way to mass delete bins ?

Hi Experts,
Since we need move warehouse, We will setup new bins and delete the old ones. May I just check if there is way to mass delete bins ?
Thanks
ALice

Hi Alice,
1. Warehouse management is not in direct connection with FI. Whether you have a bin or not has no financial impact, so don't worry and delete the unneseccary empty bins.
2. In LS11 you can put an '*' in storage type field and you can choose the 'Empty indicator' from dynamic selection > in this way you can get all your empty bins. From the menu you can choose Edit > Select all. After that you can delete them.
Regards,
Csaba

Music folder Erased after delete any song.

I use a MacBook Pro with Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8, I always used a External HD to hold my iTunes files. But now, I dont know if this is because of iTunes 11, I use the organized files option checked and the iTunes organized it in artist names subfolder. This is ok.
But, when I try to edit a album name or delete any song and select DELETE FILE instead of KEEP FILE, the MUSIC folder disappear from ITUNES MUSIC folder.
Why is it happening? I try to copy any times and restart MACBOOK and the HD itself but it doesnt work.
I am using a External HD in Ethernet cable (crossover). The HD is a LACIE NETWORK SPACE 4 Tb.
Please I need some help.
Thank you!

Is there any way to mass delete duplicated files?

I just transferred all of my brother's music from his full laptop onto my desktop.
Unfortunately, since his girlfriend had her own library, and since none of us were careful to keep track of where the files were kept, I now have several hundred songs that have been duplicated twice or even three or four times on a single library.
Is there any way to mass delete all the duplicated songs, so I only have one of each track?

Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts there's a script in there for dealing with duplicates: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts

You have already found a way.
Someone put some work into developing a program so if the photos are important, purchase the software.

Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text ?

Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text options that my iPhone is giving me? I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.
There are specific words that are popping up in the area right above the keyboard where it displays 3 word suggestions to choose from. This area seems to suggest words that I have typed before, I'd like to remove these words. Default seems to select the word in the center and when I'm typing fast on occasion it will recommend and select words that I don't need to use.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank youI would suggest upgrading to a supported version of the database. 9i has been unsupported for many many years now.
And to answer your question... to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround. It works as it works.
