ITunes 7 in the UK
Great if you're in the US but as ever licencing restrictions mean no video content for the UK.
But a pretty new interface and gapless playback very welcome.
Powerbook G4 Titanium 550 MHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)
I know. I am so **** annoyed about this. Not a lot about this latest upgrade seems to apply to anyone outside the US :S
... other than the new interface, and lots of problems judging by all the negative responses in the discussions

How to move an iTunes library from the internal hard drive to another bootable disk.
I got two Mac OS X installations on my i Mac system. One on the internal hard drive (320 Gb), that has been there since the iMac was bought 3 years ago, upgraded to Lion on 2 August. (call that INT) . I have a USB external drive, and recently bought a firewire Lacie external drive (2Tb), so to boot from there when I can, with hard drive space getting tight this year. I successfully installed another copy of Lion on LACIE.
Then I went to work to transfer my iTunes library, which the media files were optioned to store on the USB drive. Intending to transfer both the music and video files, and the megadata ( playlists, ratings, playcounts ) I found the media files and the iTunes library file and the .xml document in my iTunes folder from INT. I made a new folder in the USB drive, and copied the contents from the old iTunes folder to that new folder. I re-started in LACIE, and found my empty iTunes folder. I copied over to the new iTunes folder, then opened iTunes. My eyes saw the music library to the same number of items, with the playlists etc showing.
However, I tried to sync an iPod Nano, and a window came up saying 100 songs could not be copied to the iPod because they could not be found. After ejecting the iPod I tried to play a song from iTunes, and the screen filled with exclamation points. A small window came up, asking for a password to open "sparsebundle" and my name. I entered my password for the administrator's log-in and it said try again with the password. Without knowing what password to put in, I clicked Cancel, and got another small window asking to locate the file. Then clicked Cancel again, not knowing where to search. All the media folders were showing after quitting iTunes and opening Finder .
I re-booted into INT, and opened iTunes. The library was still there. I synced my iPod again, ejected it, played 3 songs on the iPod, synced again, ejected it again, and opened the playlist "Recently Played". It showed up okay with no problems. So my iTunes library in INT is alright.
Has anyone got any idea how to make the transfer into LACIE and get it running alright, or what went wrong with what I did ?
In the meantime I will empty my LACIE iTunes library folder's contents to the trash, and securily empty the trash .Solved the issue without using the trash . I tried to consolidate the library in LACIE, then clicked on any exclamation-mark song and tried to locate the file. Repeating those steps 3 or 4 times cleared it up. That was confirmed when I synced the entire library on a iPod Classic, and showed up no problems after syncing the Nano.
What went wrong was perhaps to fail to consolidate the library at first . -
My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this address as it got hacked. How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address? In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address, I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.' Advice please!
Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

I already have an itunes account on my laptop but have been setup on a mac and have songs that have not been purchased from the itunes store, I cannot get the songs from my iPhone onto my itunes account on the mac. how can I do this?
You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. -

When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?
Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.
iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

I created multiple libraries and multiple locations for music of different genres; however, in the end I decided that I wanted to keep all of my music in one location and to have just one iTunes library. The problem is that when I go to delete a song from my iTunes library, I no longer have the option to remove the file from my computer as well. This is because the my iTunes library and the location of my music files were not in my iTunes music folder (http://forums.ilounge.com/itunes-mac-pc/119629-delete-songs-itunes-library-compu ter-together.html). I tried changing the iTunes Media Folder location (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364), but that didn't solve. Then I tried reinstalling iTunes: I figured that starting fresh would put my iTunes library in the right location so that I would have this option again, but it didn't work. (When reinstalling, I got an error message that 6D5Dubs, the name of my last iTunes library, couldn't be found. I clicked 'OK' and was asked to 'Choose was asked to 'Choose library...' or 'Create Library'. I created a library since I had deleted the other ones in my attempt to start fresh) Any suggestions? Note: I find the CTRL+R solution tedious for my purposes.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.
Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -
I would like to transfer all data from my iPod classic to my new computer with windows 8.1. My old computer's cpu died. Utilizing iTunes which only allows iTunes albums purchased at iTunes store. The cd's were loaded via iTunes originally.
Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer. -
ITunes Security - Keeping the babysitter from adding songs to iTunes Lib.
This is a nube question, but is there a way to limit access to the iTunes program so that anyone can play from the library but not add to it? Password protection for additions perhaps?
This question is the result of a babysitter who brought over her MP3 CD collection. I now see all of the songs she played in the iTunes Library.
My main concern is to make sure that her songs are not anywhere on my computer (for the obvious legal reasons... and also because I don't enjoy that type of music).
I currently have 6GB of legit music that I don't want to remove, so if there is an automatic way to remove all of her music (at once) by date entered it would also be helpful. I also do not see a folder for her music within the iTunes folder.
Thank you,
Decussation
AMD Athlon 64 Windows XPWell to remove her songs that were added to iTUnes. open iTunes in the main library, hit the "Date added" Header to organize the list by date. Then seect the first song of hers, hold down the ctrl key and selct each one of hers. after that let go of the key and rightclick then select "Clear". this will claer them off iTunes and if the songs are actually on your PC you will get a message asking if you want to move them to the recycle bin, click yes and then empty the recycle bin.
I don't know how to stop iTunes from adding things, But if you allow the babysitter on your PC, you may want to consider setting up user accounts on your PC in windows. You can do this by going to the control panel and selecting "User Accounts". you can turn on the "Guest" account or set up a user account for him/her. This would allow you to lock or password protect folders, and lock the CD drive from being used.
iTunes comes with a "Share" feature that will allow her to listen to your music on her account. you will have to move or copy your songs to the "Shared Documents" folder tho I think. -
How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?
how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?
You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts. -
Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
