Is there a way to sort music by "missing link" indicator?

I have hundreds, maybe thousands of files that are missing links. They are just duplicates from a poorly executed computer transfer but it will literally take me weeks to delete these one at a time. I need a faster method.

Temporarily use a unused tag for a particular media type to assign value, then sort to find missing tags - https://discussions.apple.com/message/21189667#21189667

  • Is there a way to sort music in itunes by which ID the song was purchased under?

    We have a shared family library that has built up over time using a variety of apple ids.  I'd like to be able to easily see all those that were used.

    Thanks Michael... your reply/suggestion is most helpful. I have purchased a lot of songs/albums today from iTunes and wanted to add them to my custom playlists. This will help me identify the purchased songs easily. Cheers!

  • My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6  years.  We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc.  Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

  • Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

    is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
    I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

    Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
    I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
    Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.

    Exploter the settings in Windows Media Player. It should tell where it is currently storing files. You can also enable the path column in WMP to see where individual tracks are stored. See also Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.

  • Is there a way to move music from my Iphone 3gs to the Itunes on my computer without deleting it?

    Is there a way to move music from my Iphoe 3GS to the Itunes on my Windows 7 laptop? The hard drive of the laptop had been corrupted so it was replaced which makes the computer now register as being a new one alltogether.

    If you still have the old drive you (or a helpful friend) may be able put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from my ipod to a new computer using itunes WITHOUT access to the old computer??

    Is there a way to transfer music already downloaded on my ipod to my new laptop, without having access to the original computer with itunes?? It is on my boyfriend's computer and we broke up - not a good option to ask him to use his computer...now I'm worried I won't get all my music back!

    Hi,
    I don't know if you can help me any further, but maybe you can direct me somewhere that will??
    I took your advice from above and went out and downloaded CopyTrans, paid the $20, downloaded everything - it worked beautifully!! Everything backed up and iTunes had all my songs.
    Then I guess I'm a huge idiot or just got overzealous, so I plugged in my iPhone, because I had a few purchases on there and thought I could everything in one place on iTunes. Something happened really BAD and all my songs on iTunes deleted and were replaced with the few that I had on my phone, plugged my iPod back in and somehow I must have clicked on the wrong thing and the iPod synced with the iPhone songs! I feel sick to my stomach!! Is everything gone???
    I did a "backup" in CopyTrans, but I have no idea where it was saved on my computer - when I go back into CopyTrans it acts like I need to pay again and doesn't show the backup file anywhere.
    Do you have any ideas or know where I can go for help - or is it a lost cause?

  • Is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?

    Hello KM47,
    It soundsl ike you are needing to copy your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than sync it at this point. You can use the following article to transfer your purchases with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    If you have your library stored on another computer, you can also copy the library to the new MacBook Air with this article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Is there a way to sort a playlist on my iPhone alphabetically by Artist?

    Is there a way to sort a playlist on my iPhone alphabetically by Artist?  I can do it when I view the playlist through iTunes on my computer, but when I view it on my iPhone's iPod, it is sorted by the date the songs were added.  I add the songs through iTunes, and I can sort it by Artist with no problem in the iTunes window.  However, when I look at the playlist through the iPod on my iPhone, the new songs are down at the bottom, no matter who the Artist is.
    If it matters I am running iOS 4.3.10 on an iPhone 4 and I have iTunes 10.4.0.80 on my computer.
    Thanks.

    Ottonomy, here's what to do.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer and open the iPhone's playlist in an iTunes window. Copy/Paste the entire playlist into a new(!) playlist in iTunes, not on your iPhone. Then resort the playlist. After you sort it, Copy/Paste it to a new(!) playlist on your iPhone. Now delete the old playlist on your iPhone and rename the new playlist the name you want it to be (probably the same name as the old playlist).
    The downside to this method is that you have to do it every time you add a song to the playlist. Unfortunately, I don't think there's another way.

  • Is there a way to fade music in iMovie for iPad2?

    Is there a way to fade music in iMovie for iPad2? I am making a short presentation using photos - not video. The music soundtrack ends abruptly. Is there a way to have it fade out?

    It shouldn't crash but it could be that your library has some user-agent detection that's going awry when running in an unknown browser. 
    You can always use the HTML5 WebAudio API to go beyond simple audio file playback.
