ITunes 10.6.3 (25) & ML 10.8.1--moving music in playlist stuttering
Good Morning,
I'm running Mountain Lion on 7 different machines. Our workhorses are our iMacs...2--2011 core i5 (2.7GHz/12GB RAM/1TB HDD) and 2--2010, I believe core i3 (3.2GHz/12GB RAM/1TB HDD). As well, we have 2 17" MBPs (2011 Core i7 2.5GHz/8GB RAM) and a 2012 15" Retina MBP.
All of them, EVERY single one of them is stuttering while moving tracks within playlists. If my playlist is longer than the actual 'Windowed' area of iTunes...and I attempt to move the track 'up' the list---it's not smooth any more (as it was in Lion, SL, Leopard, et al)....in the past OS'es...if you click, hold and move a track 'up' the playlist....got it near the top, it would start smoothly 'moving' the list up while you looked for your drop zone:) Hope this makes sense, because it's really, REALLY annoying. We use these computers for our mobile entertainment business. We've done 112 weddings so far this summer with another couple dozen to go before the end of October. We're very, very busy---and these iMacs are incredibly convenient for holding our entire 'audio' library. With over 20,000 sound EFX, drops, beds, bumpers---well over 55,000 actual songs (plenty of redundancy with extra mixes for specific tracks, etc)....the ability (when I purchased them) to have a TB installed vs the choices on the laptops...as well as the size (for reading), wireless mice and keyboard...they look very professional and work well with Serato and Traktor, our sources of choice.
However, playing background/cocktail/dinner music---nothing works better than iTunes. This issue has never been a problem before. Now it's nearly impossible to move a track within a playlist unless your playlist is only a 'window' long---depending on the resolution and size you've got your iTunes window, this can be anywhere from 30-50 songs (that are visible). For now, as we've got plenty of playlists that are 100-300 songs in length. I'm now just moving a track 30 spots up, scrolling the playlist back up another 30/40 spots...moving the track to the top....scrolling up, moving track, yada yada. Or copy/paste has actually become my go to solution---for now. However, this, obviously...adds redundant tracks to the playlist (unless I delete tune after copying). It's truly a PITA...and it's bizarre I've not heard or read anyone else complaining of this issue.
I probably shouldn't have upgraded all my machines to ML right off the bat---but I had NO problems with Lion. Loved it! The gestures are awesome...the Track Pad has become my best friend---and I didn't read any compatiblity issues with any of the hardware we use. Still---to this point, I've had no other 'challenges' with Mountain Lion on any of my machines.
I figure---since this behavior is evident on ALL my machines, which are relatively recent builds hardware-wise...ALL with plenty of RAM for these applications, it must be a system-wide behavior. I also kinda hoped it would be silently 'fixed' with today's maintenance update....Not a chance. Behavior is still exactly the same (after updating 3 of the iMacs and two of the MBPs)...so it hasn't been addressed. I've not yet filed a 'ticket' with Apple, haven't called the help desk---never have. In fact, I think this is the first challenge I've not been able to find myself a workaround for...so I've rarely a reason to visit a genius, call Apple, or utilize this board.
Is anyone else in front of an iTunes library with playlists that may have more than 60 or 70 tracks in it that would be willing to give it a go? Again...simply moving a track up in the playlist from the bottom to the top (the playlist MUST be longer than what is visible in the screen).
Second---I know this is getting WAY too long...but the BIG issue here is if you try to move a song that is currently playing 'up the playlist'...it actually freezes iTunes for several seconds---maybe even 8 or 10 seconds!!! It still continues to play the song, without any glitches....but it is absolutely impossible move a 'playing' track up or down the playlist without really F'ing up the computer for a brief period of time!!! This is a real pain and I'm not sure what the correct way to tell Apple about it would be. Do they monitor this board? Is there a specific place to address this on apple.com
Thanks everyone for reading this diatribe!! I know it got a bit long--Sorry!
Jeremy
Is there anyone that can verify they're having this same issue? I called Apple to report the 'glitch' but I'm looking for any others with the same challenge and whether or not you've found a work around.
Again--I rely heavily on iTunes for business. We use it constantly for live performances...both on it's own and it's integration with Traktor, Serato and DJay
Thanks Everyone!
Jeremy

ITunes 9-Moving music to playlists
Has anyone figured out a way to move songs that you want to purchase to a playlist before buying? You can do it on iTunes 8, but with the upgrade I can only seem to put music to a wishlist. Not v. organized.
Windows Media Player could be affecting your files whether you've ever opened that program. It's worth turning off the feature that goes online and "fixes" tags on new media. It's at +Tools > Options > Libarary > "Retrieve additional information from the Internet."+ Uncheck that.
Now, there is no way that WMP should be wrecking the file structure in the iTunes Music folder, but then again there is no reason iTunes should be wrecking it either. Those "!" symbols have always meant that files have been altered by something other than iTunes. -
I am a beginner using Apple software, so please bare with me.
I am having trouble moving music from the iPad to iCloud in order to save space in the device.
I realise that in order to store music not purchased on iTunes store can only be stored in iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match which I have done.
Appears that moving music from iTunes on my PC to iCloud is successful by deleting song or album in iTunes library and than click on "Keep song" instead of sending to recycle bin. After this has been done the Cloud Icon appears on the album or against the song. However when I then look at Music on the iPad the album or song have not been moved to iCloud. I have tried syncronising with cable connected between PC and iPad. After that has been done the message is that sync was successful bujt still music has not been moved into the Cloud.
Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to move the music to the cloud working on the iPad only (without trying to use the PC to move the music to the cloud)?You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy. -
I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!
What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on. -
So, I have just about had it. For nine days now, I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule. iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me. So then there were two libraries. I meshed them back together reluctantly and iTunes in a silent revolt, absolutely refused to use its own 'Keep Library Organized' criteria and may as well have thrown my music against the wall. Seriously, my 5 year old nephew has his computer files better managed. Then I bought a 3TB Time Capsule and you may ask yourself why??? Well, iTunes doubled in size- although when I ran apps that are designed to find duplicate iTunes files, it deleted the music I actually bought from iTunes. So then I watched as iTunes got it back. How you ask; I run a MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini in my house - as soon as one powered up it hit the net like a sailor on leave and re-downloaded it all without abandon. I tried to keep the libraries separate, no success there. I tried to keep them unified; iTunes response was to ask me if I wanted to join iTunes Match every time I logged on to my computer and on any computer - my iTunes match song number has been as high as 24,367 and as low as 11,112. And I can't simply refuse iTunes. No one refuses iTunes. Refusal to allow iTunes Match to run through all 24000 songs again was to revoke my rights to the songs that were once part of my library. If I took a long time to decide or was visibly impatient while iTunes did its little 3 hour scan it would arbitrarily decide that music I bought from iTunes was ineligible for iTunes Match. How could that possibly be??? I am missing music, or at least iTunes tells me so by showing me that lovely exclamation point. I have tried backing up my computer to do a full system restore and start all over. Time Capsule claims I have 979 GB of data and takes its sweet time to even back up one gig (about 18 minutes) even though I can transfer files to my Time Capsule at about 1 GB every 40 seconds. I guess though performing back-ups are somewhat like government jobs; it will get done, when it gets done. The back up requirement of 979 GB is surprising though, my Mac claims that I currently occupy just about 25% of my 2TB drive. The discrepancy, who knows, but I think the solution lies somewhere in iTunes. But maybe iPhoto. But that is for another time.
After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive. -
how can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all of my music is from a bunch of cds i own
Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

I just subscribed to iTunes match but only 61 songs from my 7GB of music on my iphone showed up. I do not want to lose any music. What should i do? When I go to settings-music-and try to enable iTunes Match on my iPhone it says "iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device" I don't want to do that it only has 61 of my 7GB of songs.
did you find out the answer? I am afraid to hit enable.

Why would they?
Do you have Automatic downloads enabled? Note this only works for items purchased after it is enabled.

Why does itunes match delete all songs from my iPhone leaving me music less in the mountains! :(
i went through a drive through the mountains recently needless to say with out radio, only sourse of music... my precious iphone. well aparently after i had subscribed to itunes match it felt the need to go behind my back and delete all the songs i had previously on my phone! *** apple? i had to do an emergency pull over and yank out my macbook and when i pluged it in sure as could be no music stored on the phone so i was apparently streaming music chewing up a huge chunk of my data in little over two hours!i had to shut off itunes match on the macbook and the iphone and sync again just to get some music!!!
There has to have a solution!! why did it do this? Did anybody else have similiar issues?I have the same problem and I'm not sure this addresses it. I want to subscribe to iTunes match using my Mac; the intention being that I can then remove all the subset of my tunes from the ipad mini, and when travelling listen to music on the iPad mini via iTunes Match.
So the question still remains, does the music stored on my iPad mini get automatically removed when i subscribe to iTunes Match, or do I have to remove it??
Also, my iPad mini is showing that 1.8GB of storage is taken up by music at the moment, will all of this be freed if I subscribe to iTunes match and delete the music (irrespective of whether this is done manually or via an automatic delete).
Thank you -
Hopefully someone can help.... I have an Iphone 5 and want to create a music video playlist on my phone so then i can play through my apple tv... but when i make a playlist in itunes and try to add it over to my iphone it wont let me sync the playlist...? I have already added the music videos to my iphone so that is not the problem.... i cant seem to figure out how to make a playlist for them... IE: to make the videos play consecutively in the order i want without stopping after each video and gong back to the list.... this is what i have had to resort to make it work....what i want to do....is be able to make a playlist of videos on my iphone 5....take my apple tv to friends houses and with wifi....set up apple tv and play videos at the party and not have to stand by with the remote and find a new video to play stopping the music between the songs/videos....very annoying....and have spent over 4 hours one day and an hour and a half today on the phone today with a sr. advisor with apple and they have no clue.... this seems sooooo simple.... please somebody that really knows how to do this....i will be indebted forever...............
MikeThank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
I already restored it but that didn't help.
TIA for any replies.iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I just installed iTunes on my computer, where I already have all my music. I went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and changed the iTunes Media Folder Location to where I have all my music, in the "Local Disk." But iTunes wont import all my music. Help?
Have you looked in the Music App on your iPhone? On the iPhone music is played by the Music App not iTunes.

when i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs. Take in mind this is my first time to sync with this laptop(HP 15 ENVY) and as well my laptop is just brand new. just got it a week ago. so how do i fix this prob. and also when i open my itunes store and then view my account it says error occurred either debug it through Microsoft visual studio or close program. I tired copying all the .dll files to the itunes folder didn't help
I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

Why won't iTunes let me download or play my matched and uploaded music?
According to iTunes, I have 5,009 songs now available in iCloud. Most of these were either matched or uploaded. They are not stored locally on my PC, as I use an external hard drive for that, and it's not hooked up right now. I want to listen to some of my music on the PC.
When I open iTunes, the iCloud status reflects that songs are matched or uploaded, but there is no download icon next to them -- the only songs with that icon are ones that I originally purchased from iTunes. And there are also many songs that were purchased from iTunes that also don't have a download icon next to them. Everything has an exclamation point next to it, reflecting that my external hard drive isn't connected. And if I double-click any of the songs that don't have a download icon (most of them), I get the standard message that iTunes can't locate the song.
I've tried turning Match off and on multiple times, and also updating Match. Tried exiting iTunes and reopening. Nothing helps. In fact, every time I turn Match back on, it asks me if I want to add this computer to iCloud -- as if I haven't added it 10 times already.
Match has been working fine on my iPod.
Here's what I'm seeing, just to illustrate -- you can see that there is a download icon next to the songs in one album, which was purchased, but nothing netx to the otehrs, which are all matched or uploaded:
I'm going nuts. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on or what I'm doing wrong?I agree with Michael. What's happening is because you broke the link to your external drive. As far as Match is concerned, you still have all of those songs available to you locally.
If you've never created a new library in iTunes, it's easy and painless. Switching back to your main library after you hook back up your external drive is easy too. On a Mac you just hold down the option key when launching iTunes to get the prompt to either create a new library or to link to one you already have - simple as that.
For what it's worth, I set up a second library after enabling iTunes Match. All I put in it is new music I want added to the cloud. It saves me a lot of time and if I really want a copy of the songs locally in my main library, they still show up via Match as downloads, so I can grab them anytime. -
My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date
Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
