Is there anyway to remove all unauthorized songs in iTunes?

I have roughly 200 songs on saved on my computer that are not authorized on my computer. My friend gave me a HDD with a ton of music on it. Some of it works, some of it isn't authorized. Is there a simple way to find all the songs that arent authorized to delete them out of my iTunes or even just off of my computer? I didn't purchase them so I can't just log in to authorize them. I tried organizing by "Kind" (file type) and I have roughly 800 songs that are "Purchased AAC audio file" so I can't just organize it and shift delete from there without losing 600 songs. Please let me know if there are any ideas.

Can you give me the "for dummies" on that. I'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure what all that means.
My dell computer has been down for probably about two months so I don't know how to use the backup of it...
and I have no idea what migration assistant is either..
If you have time to explain I would be very grateful!

    Hi all,
    Im new to this group. I need suggestions and comments from you all.
    I came to know that the password is stored in vi itself when we protect
    the vi.(im not sure about it, if anyone knows it please let me know ).
    If the password is not stored in vi itself, where is it stored ?
    So Is there anyway to open the vi in HEX code format and remove the
    password?
    Thanks in advance
    regards
    Bharat
    Probably (I wouldn't know, reversing is illegal , the password is a hash of the password and the vi data/code. So removing it would be as simple as removing the hash from the file in a hex editor. But LabVIEW won't open it, because the hash is wrong.
    Hope it help (but I guess it won't).

    Change the name of the song, artist, or album
    Select the information you want to edit.
    Type the new information.
    Press Enter.

    I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync playlists.

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

  • HT4009 My daughter made a $49.99 in-app purchase of 1400 gems for Home Design Story.  She says she does not know how she purchased it.  Is there anyway to remove that from my purchases?

    My daughter made a $49.99 in-app purchase of 1400 gems for Home Design Story.  She says she does not know how she purchased it.  Is there anyway to remove that from my purchases?

    Apple allows apps to list themselves as "Free" if the initial download is free, even if the app has kid-oriented inducements for costly in-app purchases.  The in-app purchases are almost always ridiculous, over-priced game accessories, of which your example of "1400 gems for $49.99" is right up there.  It is way too caveat emptor for my taste, but each consumer can form their own opinion on that.
    To Apple's credit, they have a good record of granting refunds providing you explain the extenuating circumstances (purchase by a minor) and only ask once.  Contact iTunes Customer Service.
    As roaminggnome notes, you need to place restrictions on the devices.  The restrictions are off by default, so you need to take action to do this.  See this document:  iOS: Understanding Restrictions

  • I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

    I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

    Assuming all the device(s) have been synced to this computer as its Home computer. The easiest way would be to delete all the apps from iTunes. After which connect your device(s) to the computer (iTunes) and transfer purchases from the device(s) by right click (control click) the device name in the left sidebar and the click transfer purchases. When done only the apps on your device(s) will be in you iTunes library.
    Hope that helps

    Is there anyway to restore all photos, apps, etc onto an iPad using the most recent iCloud back up from an iPhone? I did a backup on my iPhone today but when I restored my iPad using that backup, only the photos in the photostream transferred to the iPad?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • HT204406 i want to download all the songs from itunes match back to my pc.  there are well over 2000 songs. instead of downloading one by one, is there a way to download all of them while I sleap?

    I want to download all the songs from iTunes Match back to my PC (iTunes).  Instead of downloading one by one, can I have all the songs downloaded back to my iTunes by one shot (while I sleap)?

    I just found the answer by myself.  Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download.  Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine.  I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH.  To me, it was a disaster.  Worse than their map app.

  • How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

    How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

    Hi
       -I have organized all my songs in iTunes ,deleted unwanted songs and updated the album artwork but it has not changed them in my iTunes media folder location in my C Drive.
       How do I update it there so it is the same as my iTunes now so i can back it all up?
    Thankyou.

    I solved my problem. Here's how:
    1. Right click iTunes and click properties from the "Windows 8 Desktop" (or if you want to call it the 7 desktop thats fine too)
    2. Select the compatibility tab.
    3. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and click apply.
    4. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes store, Turn on iTunes Match, Add your computer.
    5. Close Program
    6. Restart Computer
