Is there a way to mass-"tell-itunes-where-mp4s-have-been-moved-to?"

Well, I've decided to keep all of my mp4's in a central location, off of my primary hard drive which is where iTunes thinks they are now. The way I have changed locations in iTunes before is manually going in, right clicking, going to "get info," clicking "yes" when it says "do you want to locate this file," browsing around for it, WAITING for "get info" to eventually pop up, closing it, and moving on to the next file. Very time consuming. Is there a more efficient way to do this? I have about 25 files I'm moving.

Place all the songs into a Playlist, 'Get Info' on the first, llocate it, then select 'Next' within 'Get Info' to move to the next song.
It's that, or delete the 25 broken references within iTunes then re-Add them back into the Library (File=>Add Folder/File).

I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

You can view tracks in a given format by selecting to show the Kind column. If you mean you want to determine which specific MP3 tracks you have that were converted by iTunes as opposed to being imported in MP3 format, Get Info on a track and look at the "encoded with" field.

How to mass tell iTunes where moved songs can be found

I am moving songs from my computer to my external hard drive, and of course iTunes does not know where I moved the songs to. I was wondering if there was an easier way to tell iTunes where the entire CD was located as opposed to clicking on the explanation mark next to each song and doing it individually song by song.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, there is a way. Go to the preferences (I think it is in the edit menu for Windows machines). Click on the advanced tab and you can change the location of the iTunes music folder.

Is There a Way To Restore System Files When They Have Been Overwritten As PDF Files?

A friend of mine installed the last Acrobat update last week on her Windows 7 system. Everything seemed fine until she tried to view the Manual for her FujiFlilm Camera. All of a sudden all of her System Files were overwritten as PDF files, her Security software was gone, and she could no longer get on the internet. When she attempted to restore to a previous version on her computer, she was unable to do it. Is there anyway of restoring her system without losing everything? And has anyone had this problem? I have also received this update but have not downloaded it for fear I too may experience the loss of everything.

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but the message came from Adboe Reader saying the latest update was available, so she clicked on it to download and install.
The Fujifilm Manual came on a CD with the camera. That was the first time she utilized the PDF function after downloading the update.
Does that help you?

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

I have 5 computers authorized on my account and I would like to deauthorize all of them. When I try it tells me I cannot do so until January 2016. Is there a way around this? I no longer have access to the computers that are authorized.

Did you recently deauthorize a bunch of computers? You can only deauthorize all once year.

Is there a way to mass add m4a music folders to the library?

I have several thousand music folders containing m4a music. The files are in the iTunes music folder but are not in the library. iTunes can only add one folder at a time to the library, a time consuming, user hostile restriction. Is there a way to mass add all of the folders to the library using either iTunes or another program?

Will iTunes ignore the non-music folders and files?
Yes, it will only import the files it can import.
I've read posts about files disappearing seemingly caused by iTunes.)
It shouldn't but you do have an up-to-date back of all your files, correct?

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.
(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)
Yes
What would cause such a random error?
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 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

Is there a way to mass export/save the reports from database to server

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well,
We use Discoverer to report off of an ODS. We are moving from ODS 3.1 to ODS 8.
Is there a way to mass download the reports into ODS 8.
My idea at this time, would be to individually save as the query to a folder on server.
Then open another Discoverer instance, sign to ODS 8, open the query from server and do save as to database.
This would take time ....
Please advise with your thoughts and ideas, tx, sandra

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!!
