ITunes 10 not using Media folder

I recently upgraded a machine to iTunes 10 and notice that when I now add music, it does so to a "Music" folder that is at the same level in the file structure as the "iTunes Media" folder.
It is not adding music to the Music folder inside of the "iTunes Media" folder.
However if I go to "organise library" the "Ugrade to iTunes Media Organisation" is greyed out and I'm notified that "Your media is already organisd as an iTunes Media folder"
However the way music us being added is as if the Library is not using newer method of iTunes Media organisation.
Any clues on this would be appreciated.

Look at Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and you will see the current location of the iTunes Media folder. This is where newly ripped or purchased tracks will be added. It does not affect the location of files already in your library.
if you have tracks in other locations and want to copy them to the current iTunes Media Folder, you can use the Consolidate command.

How to create custom folder in every mailbox of Exchange 2007 mailbox : not using Managed folder

Hello ,
We want to create custom folder in mailbox as root or inside inbox for every user of mailbox but not using managed folder .
I have found below article , but we do not get success to do that .
http://careexchange.in/create-a-custom-root-folder-in-all-the-mailboxes-bulk-in-exchange-2010/
Any idea how to do that ?
It will be great helpful for us.
Thank you in advance.

What happens when you try that method? What errors do you get? Have you ensured you've installed EWS 1.2 per the requirements listed in the script? (it actually mentions 1.1, but that no longer seems to be available, but 1.2 is here
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=28952 ).
I'm assuming you're running Exchange 2007 (since you're posting in the 2003/2007 forum, and this won't work on 2003), is that correct?
While I don't know for sure that the script will work on 2007, have you ensured that you've amended the file paths to the correct locations? Eg, assuming it should work you'll need to amend the line :
$service = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeVersion]::Exchange2010_SP1)
to reflect the version of Exchange you're running, and the line :
Import-Module -Name "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\1.1\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"
with whatever version of EWS you've installed.

'Automatically Add to iTunes' in alternate media folder not working

iTunes 11.1.5.5
Fresh install today on a more-or-less fresh install of Windows 8
Procedure:
Install iTunes
Before creating a library, change my media folder in Preferences -> Advanced
Try to add media by putting it in the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder created in the new media folder
Restart iTunes repeatedly in frustration
What happens:
Nothing
What I expect to happen:
Something. Either importing the file, or moving it to the 'Not Added' folder.
Notes:
If I don't change the location of the media folder, the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder works fine.
The path to the alternate folder is E:\...music\ while iTunes is installed on C:\ - could this be a problem?
The automatically-created Automatically Add to iTunes folder is located at E:\...music\Automatically Add to iTunes
Thanks for your time!

Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”
Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

How do I get iTunes to rescan media folder

Hi - I have new music that was correctly added to the media folder (artist/album folders), but is not showing up in the iTunes library. How do I force iTunes to rescan the currently designated media folder, so that it will add the new music to the library? Thanks

iTunes doesn't automatically scan the media folder. There is a tool called iTunes Folder Watch which can be used to scan the media folder and can tell you which files in the media folder are not connected to the library and (with the option check for dead tracks on start up enabled) which entries in iTunes are not connected to any file. You could also just use File > Add Folder to Library and select the media folder if you only want to add new tracks.

Deleted from Library, not from media folder, How to delete from media fldr?

I attempted to delete a whole bunch of songs--iTunes asked:
"Do you want to delete the selected song, or keep it in the itunes media folder?"
I selected "keep file" by accident--so they are no longer in my library but still in my media folder.
How do I delete all files in my media folder that are not in my Library?
I have checked Doug's scripts and do not see a script for that.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: I found Doug's script for this. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=listnotadded

Can I move my itunes media folder to an external hard drive without having Itunes managing the media folder

Hi all....I have spent weeks tidying up my music collection. I moved it all to Itunes media folder. Since I don't like how Itunes manages this folder I manually organised it myself so that albums where together etc. I am wondering if there is a fool proof way to move my media folder to an external hard drive without letting itunes manage and consolidate files as this will reverse all the work I did in organising. Im not sure if Im posting to the right place but fingers crossed:)
Thanks in advance

Just one more thing puhlease:) This is the list of things that are in my iTunes folder. Album artwork, Automatically add to iTunes, iTunes media, Mobile apllications, podcasts, previous itunes libraries, voice memos. Then it has files itunes preferences, itunes libary extras, itunes libarry genius, itunes libraary, itunes music library......Is there stuff in there that doesnt need to be there as some are repeated in itunes media folder which contains....automatically add to itunes, books, downloads, home videos, mobile applications, music, podcasts, tones, voice memos and itunes preferences. Any thoughts on deleting some folders??? Thankyou so much for your time on this

HT1449 After moving music and movies from my MacBook Air to an external hard drive, do I create a new iTunes music and media folder on my computer then add more music and movies, then will I be able to move the computer music/media to the hard drive musci

I need to move the music and movies from my MacBook Air (original) to an external hard drive, after I do this, do I create a new music folder and media folder on my computer to load music/movies in via the dedicatd external drive and then would I be able to move the newly imported to the external drive which would be my main site of storage?

No, do it all in one go and henceforth only use the library located on the external drive.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Trying to get iTunes working on Windows 8, iTunes wont recognize media folder...

I was using a Windows 7 machine, running iTunes off my external HDD. I ended up getting a new computer, with Windows 8. I install iTunes and try to direct to the iTunes media folder location on my HDD (Nothing has changed) via the Advanced tab in Preferences within iTunes.
I can see the iTunes Library.itl, where it has always been, but directing iTunes doesn't seem to do anything.
Any help would be apprectiated.
Cheers

See this migrate iTunes library post.
Redirecting the media folder isn't the same thing as connecting to a different library file, which is done by holding down shift as you start iTunes.

External drive format to be used as iTunes library and media folder

Hi everyone, I want to transffer my iTunes to an external drive, do I need to format my external drive to Extended Journal or will an Appleshare be alright? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, good! I only asked because I read that if you transfer you iPhoto Library you need to have your external drive formatted to Extended Journal so I thought that it might be the same for iTunes. And I only read the post after I started to transfer the iTunes to an external drive. Thanks again!

ITunes not using the defined proxy setting

iTunes 10.0.1 on MacOS X 10.6.4 isn't correctly using the system
proxy setting defined through:<pre>System Preferences…
Network
Advanced…
Proxies
Web proxy (HTTP)
Web Proxy Server
myproxy.my_company.mycountry : 3128</pre>
For example, when selecting:<pre>Advanced
Get Track Names</pre>
a network analysis shows that the machine is trying to
connect directly to:<pre> service.gracenote.com</pre>
with plain: http
where it should use port 3128 as defined.
This misbehaviour is causing an infinite loop, a "death" loop.
This death loop may sometimes end in a newly inserted CD not being
recognised by iTunes and the Finder.
Before submitting this as a bug to Apple, I wanted to check if I'm
not the bug.
Did I miss something really easy in the iTunes
setting to avoid this misbehaviour leading to death loops?

No need to fill a bug report .
It was magically repared with the 10.1 upgrade.
Question answered through action. Great.

ITunes not using credit balance, charging card instead

My daughter was given a $100 iTunes Store credit when she bought her MBP last summer, but hasn't made any purchases since then.
This month she gifted a couple apps in iTunes, which shows her $100.00 credit balance, but Apple charged the credit card on file instead. She still has a $100.00 credit balance but was charged cash for the purchase.
When she sent a support email asking why this h appened and if she could get this refunded and charged against her credit, iTunes support was of no help and told her how to reset her credit card on file to fix "error messages." She never got an error message - it worked fine, but iTunes is not honoring or applying her credit balance to her purchases.
I've never heard of this happening. Has anyone heard of something similar?
I cannot find phone numbers or any useful contact information besides the dead-end email support she already tried. How do you get some actual help from Apple for iTunes Store problems?

The balance can't be used to buy gifts.

HT201359 Why did iTunes not use my credit to pay for purchase

I have redeemed a gift card and It shows my available credit however when I buy a song it is still charging my credit card. How do I make iTunes use my available credit?

Do you mean that the full price was charged to both ? For your credit card, it's a 'proper' charge and not a temporary store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702 ?
If it is a proper charge then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting 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
