Items appearing in my library which i haven't purchased

I opened iTunes on my pc (windows 7) as usual and i saw some new songs with iCloud sign in my library it said that i've purchased that album on 8/9/14 (but i didn't), the album was (Songs of Innocence by U2)
same thing happened a couple of weeks ago when i saw a notification on the "TV Shows" section on iTunes, then when i when to see what it was, i saw a TV Show called "Faking it" there with the iCould sign, it says that i've purchased it on 20/4/14 which i wasn't even using my phone (school)
NOTE: i've NEVER visited neither the TV shows section nor the Movies section (because i'm not interested in them)
HELP!!

That album is a gift from U2/Apple. You weren't charged for it.

I have songs re-downloading into my library which i have already purchased. why is this happening?

So i opened my iTunes and it asked my to log on which i did and then i had a whole album downloading again which i have already purchased. why is this happening?

Yes. you should keep your media in iTunes, and indeed you should also keep a backup of your library as well. if you have the device set up for manual management then the content would remain on it when deleted from the library, but you would have no way to restore the device if there was a problem.

Question I have a dilemma . I added a lot of songs in my iTunes now when I synced my ipod this message appear "Elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additiona

I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes. If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window. There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs. Did you check that checkbox? If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled. If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply. Click Apply.
That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs. If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.

How to tell which items are in iTunes library on disc but not in program library?

I made a mistake the other night and I deleted some items from my iTunes library ... but NOT from disc.
These items are still in my 65 gig iTunes library on disc. Somewhere.
I'd like to re-add these songs. Is there any way to tell which songs in the iTunes library on disc are not in the iTunes program library?
I don't want to have to add all 65 gigs again and then remove all the duplicates
thanks!

You should try dragging some files already in the library into iTunes to see what happens. I just did, and the new iTunes 10.6 seems to be ignoring them. I then made a copy of a file already in the library, and I added both it and the original by dragging and dropping. Only the new file was added. There was no warning about duplicates in either test. So you may be able to drag your whole library back into iTunes.
For when you do want to determine what files on disk aren't in the iTunes library or vice versa, here's one way to do it (if there's an easier way, I'm all ears):
Export your library as a playlist to a text file.
Use a program that can recursively list all your files on disk as full paths and save its output to a text file.
Load the into a decent text editor. I use Notepad++. Then use a regexp search/replace to tidy up the files so that both consist of one fully qualified filename per line.
Sort the files.
Diff the files and examine the differences.
I can do both 4 and 5 in Notepad++.

How do I choose which items appear when I open my Imac for the day?

How do I choose which items appear on the screen when I open my Imac (intel) for the day, after shutting down the night before? Thank you. ArmandL

There are two ways. Mt Lion and Lion have a feature that launches all programs that were running when you logged out or shut down. You can toggle this feature on and off when you shutdown/log out. Or you can set up login items in your user settings which will automatically launch any program you set there. To do this launch System Preferences, select Users and Groups and click on the Login Items but near the top part of the dialog. Click on the + button to add programs you want to be launched when you login or start up the computer.

I started using icloud a few months ago- I now have music on my iphone purchased over a year ago which does not appear on my library on the computer- how can I get it off my iphone?

I started using icloud a few months ago- I now find I have music on my iphone that my daughter purchased last year- I can't get it off as it does not appear on my Library on my pc. Any ideas- other than banning daughter from my account!

Add all the songs you want to burn the playlist onto the disk.

Why do new items not appear in my library?

I have noticed that new song, movies, etc. do not appear in my library under iTunes 10.7 I can see them in the Recently Added playlist, but not in my library. I just bought The Avengers. The digital copy downloaded and installed to my iTunes and I synced it to my iPad, but it is not in the library under Movies. Likewise the free MP3 Avengers Assemble album is not there. Apps I buy do show up in the list and do update.

This happens when you apply a motion tween to a shape that
wasn't converted to a symbol *first*. For
reasons of organizing and managing a flash doc - always
convert shapes/images to a symbol forst -
then apply motion tweens.
If you delete these "tween" symbols in the library - the
animation on stage will be lost -
animations (specifically symbols) reference the symbols in
the library.
Search help docs for "symbols" to learn how Flash works in
this regard.

IPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library

Hi, I have just transferred my whole iTunes library from my old computer to my new one and am trying to sync my iPod to the new one. However I get an error message saying "iPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional 5.38GB required). I currently have 8.5GB free on my iPod so I don't understand why it cannot sync.

Hey Georgiarose94, If what's going on, is what I think it is, when you sync the information it's over written, it can take 2 to 3 times more space the get the info on your iPod, once it's there the info only occupies the space it needs. Kind if of like moving, when you first step in the room with boxes of stuff there's no room. But after you get everything put away all is well. If you haven't already, connect your iPod to your computer, from your iPod Summary page, go down to Options and check reduce bit rate to (select 128 kbps). (Wording maybe a little different). Will greatly reduce memory space needed on your iPod, and you really do not hear the difference in sound quality. Other option, go to music and select manual so you can pick which music you place on the iPod. You need to reduce by 5.38GB of information to finish your download. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Twas quite a hassle if I am honest which was eventually resolved but I don't feel qualified to help anyone through the process as it required a trip to my local apple store and a genius bar appointment.
Personally, I would do anything like moving pictures out of folders etc. Certainly not creating a new users. i don't think that is an elegant solution
Try the following which MAY just about rescue the situation for you but if they don't work you may have to do something more drastic.
(1) Holding down Cmd & Alt at the same time, start iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon. From the resulting menu choose Rebuild photo library by selecting all available options given to you and then pressing REBUILD!
If that doesn't work
(2) Fire up Utilities. Go to migration assistant. Chose 'From another Time machine back-up'. Open the 'Users' option that comes up next and from there select Pictures, then uncheck everything else like Applications etc (you don't want to do a full migration of everything) and click go.
If that doesn't work, take a deep breath and this step is rather complicated but it worked for me. First of all close iPhoto! Then go to new Finder window.
From the Finder window choose Pictures, then iPhoto library, press CMD and the letter i. It brings up a new window. Go to Sharing & permissions. From there select the padlock to unlock settings. and then select User account, then press the 'cog' icon next to +/- abd choose Apply to enclosed items.
This may take a while. Once completed, re-open iPhoto.
And that should (I stress should) cure it.
Good luck.

Copy items to the iphoto library does not seem to do anything

My understanding is that if I un-check "copy items to the iphoto library" images would be not be copied from the source and its just a reference.
But when I pull my external flash drive out I still see the thumbnail and can still open the image in full resolution.
So to me this makes it appear the check box is doing nothing.
Im sure it is but I cant tell what its doing.
Also if it is making a copy to my HD where is it going?
If its going to the iphotolib although I unchecked it and told it not to, where is it, I opened Show Package Contents but cant find my images.
Ed,

If you uncheck that preference (which is very strongly NOT recommended) then the originals are referenced rather than copied and the original must always be available on the eact same path
I suggest you reconsider as you will have many problems if you build a referenced library

Weird "x" item in Itunes 8 library

Lately there appeared some strange item in my music Library.
This a screenshot of how it looks like:
http://picasaweb.google.com/rolands.ruditis/UntitledAlbum#5270461722571233874
Its impossible to do anything with this file!
It's visible even in every search no matter what I'm looking for!
Maybe you have experienced the same problem?
It's impossible to find similar problem over google!
Thanks!

Tabtip32!!
*TabletInputService to be more exact, the hand writing input service for Windows. If I stop this service iTunes keeps quiet.*
Now, my iTunes only made the sound when it finished loading something from the internet (store, Genius, shopping cart etc.) It did not make a sound every time I clicked, so there may be more than one issue here. But I think the sounds we're all hearing, are all related to the new accessibility features of iTunes. For me it was activated by Tablet input being turned on, for others it may be something else, but I would look toward input or display services that iTunes misinterprets as being for the disabled (the blind).
The tablet still works for Photoshop (my need), as its drivers are still active, but not the system level writing recognition. Which is acceptable for me - though I prefer it on - but it's crappy for those actually using a tablet PC and iTunes.
I turned it off by right clicking on 'My Computer' and selecting 'Manage'. From there I selected the services panel and found 'Tablet PC Input Service', right clicked that and got properties. From there I stopped the service and set it to only start manually.
This works for me (kinda), but iTunes really shouldn't be activating sound feedback designed for the visually impaired because the pen input service is started. Seems like a bug to me.
Anyway, thanks for the hints everybody.

Turn off show all music; extra songs appear in iPhone library; unable to delete

I turn ON 'show all music', then download a couple more songs I want from iCloud to expand my iPhone5 library. Then I turn 'show all music' back OFF and a myriad of other songs appear in my library that I did not want downloded to my phone (nor did I select from the cloud) and I am unable to delete them from the library...
This sounds like a glitch with the iOS 7.0.4 as I am unable to find a similar solution in the community other than "delete all your music and start over..." which is not the route I'd like to take. If there are other remedies out there, please help! Apple, if you're listening, please fix! I have over 750 songs in the cloud!

Items with the Cloud icon are not on your phone. They are items that have been purchased previously but have since been deleted. You can download them again by tapping the Cloud icon.
