ITunes 10 how can I have iTunes recognise an external harddrive

iTunes 10 how can I have iTunes recognise an external harddrive, where all my music is already. I did the option, selecting extenal HD but some reason the iTunes does not alow me to select the .xml file (grayed out)

Use Migration Assistant in the Utitiies folder to return the deleted user account back to the machine, I don't know exactly how to go about this as I don't use TimeMachine as it's so limiting, but Pondini can help

You might have to create the account with the same name, but I don't know if it will access the user files on the TM drive or not.
Once the account is back onto the machine you can log into it and transfer files between accounts on the same machine using the Finder > Go to Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > other account > Public > DropBox and drop files/folders in there, the permissions will change to the other user and the files/folders will be there when you log into the other user account.
Next time consider bootable clones, you can access them directly and even boot directly from them, update them when your ready and make as many as you need, create clones from clones even.

How can I have iTunes read my music library from an external hard drive?

I am trying to use an external hard drive with more memory to store my iTunes music and movie library. How can I get iTunes to read this external hard drive?

Move the library to the external drive in its entirety.
Then in Perferences > Advanced for iTunes in the box labelediTunes Media foler location point iTunes to the location of the library on the external drive.

How can I have iTunes find its newly converted mp3 files?

Hi,
I am not a power user. I have a playlist that is apparently composed of different file formats. So when I tried to burn them to a CD it gave me 92 songs that could not be burned as an mp3. I then chose to convert them to mp3. It apparently did it because I looked for the files in finder and saw the mp3 versions.
How can I now have iTunes use THOSE new mp3 files for burning? There must be a simple way to do that.
Thanks,
Jorge

Thanks Jim,
Is there any way to list them by "type"? I made the playlist from several playlists and I am sure that some of the offending songs are from several of those playlists.
I tried tricking iTunes into writing them onto a cd by just dumping the new MP3 duplicates into the same list and then telling it to burn. I then expected it to tell me the same 92 songs could not be written and planned to just tell it to skip those since now had them in as MP3s but it is now telling me that it will require more than one CD. Is that because the files are now bigger or because it is counting the 92 files that it will not be writing anyway?
Thanks,
Jorge

How can I have iTunes quit changing what I put in for my zip code

My credit card only accepts five numbes. When I put my zip code into iTunes it add the other four. That does not match what my bank has and it tells me that I have to enter my security code. This has been going on for five days. Apple Tech Support has quit responding to my emails.
Any thoughts.

I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

How can I have a canvas and external controls at the same time?

Typically all the space of an applet is used for 2D or 3D; that is, the applet provides the canvas. I am trying to develop an applet where I only want to use part of the applet space for 3D, and then, outside that space (but still within the applet) I would like to add some controls (e.g. buttons or text fields) to provide some interaction. In other words, I want to have an applet that contains something like a frame for 3D, and some controls outside the frame.
It may be quite easy, but I am very new to applets. Can anyone kindly give me some suggestions? Any help is highly appreciated!
Regards,
Hua

I got it figured out. Thanks anyway!

IPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone?

The iPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone

You must be referring to OS X 10.6.4, because there is no iTunes version 10.6.4. You can download iTunes 10.6.3 here:

Any reason why you have not updated to OS X 10.6.8? If you did, you could then run iTunes 11.0.1.

I have been charged by iTunes through my credit card but I didn't buy any application, how can i know iTunes charge me for what?

I have been charged by iTunes through my credit card but I didn't buy any application, how can i know iTunes charge me for?

You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, though I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions. Have you added or changed your credit card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) ? If you haven't changed your card details or can't find or don't recognise what the charge is for then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

HT4098 I have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID. How can I get iTunes to transfer this purchase and put it under my new apple ID?

have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID. How can I get iTunes to change it to current ID

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

How can I have 2 devices on one iTunes?

How can i have 2 devices on one iTunes so that they share the same music but have different apps? Is there a way to do that?

Each can sync with the same playlists, or different ones, and can have different apps...
Uncheck the Automatically sync new apps box on the Apps tab after connecting each device and before syncing. Once this box has been unchecked each device should remember the setting and only sync the apps that have already been selected for it, plus any you then decide to manually add to the list or purchase on each respective device.

I have ringtones on itunes how can I put them on my iphone 4

I have ringtones on itunes how can I put them on my iphone

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some strange reason you have failed to backup ( not good at all), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
