ITunes And MP3+G files

Can anyone tell me how I can view and/or play and/or manage my ipod/iphone 3gs stored MP3+G files from my computers desktop. As they appear invisible to iTunes.

Thank you for your quick response.
I've installed an extra (internal) hard drive and have divided it into several partitioned drives. It is the G: partition that I save all of my audio files and to where I changed my Itunes directory. I don't think "G" was ever named anything else since it is what I named it when I installed (and partitioned) the drive.
All of my Itunes program files remain installed in the C: drive.
I hope that all of this makes sense. If you can't tell, I'm quite the neophyte. Please be patient with my learning curve....

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
Hope that helps.

ITunes and mp3's?

so i've had my macbook for a little over a year and i was wondering.
when i import music to itunes, like i download mp3's and drag them from my desktop to a play list, can i delete the file on my desktop?
just curious cause i remember on windows i needed to keep all the mp3 files or else i'd get a little icon next to each file that i deleted.
thanks in advance C:

It depends on how you have iTunes preferences set up. If you have "Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library" selected (this is under iTunes > Preferences, Advanced tab) then you could delete the file from your desktop.
You may want to verify that the files are being copied to the media folder by Ctrl-clicking (inside of iTunes) an mp3 file that you just dragged into iTunes and select "Show in Finder." This will show you the location of the file on your disk. If the file is in the iTunes Media folder, you could delete the copy from the desktop.

Itunes and mp3 players

Help! I can't seam to copy my playlist to my mp3 player (SanDisk). I finally got the file onto my desktop and dragged songs over to the SanDisk icon. I checked to see if they were in fact there and they were, but after ejecting the mp3 from the mac, I see that they were not converted to the player even though they say there there in the icon. What's up?

Let's find out what format these songs are in.
1. Go into iTunes and click Music beneath Library in the left-hand column
2. Click View > View Options
3. Select 'Kind' and click OK
This should have added a new column to your library, and I'm thinking they will say AAC Audio File. If they do not, let us know what's listed there. If they do show AAC, do the following:
1. Click iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab > Importing tab
2. Change "Import Using" to 'MP3 Encoder'
3. Click OK
4. Select the AAC songs in iTunes (you can click the first one and hold shift while you click the last one to include everything in between)
5. Click Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3
This will create duplicates of all of your tracks, but these duplicates should be compatible with your device. Drag them to the device through Finder, not through iTunes. Note that this can only be done for unprotected files, so it will not work if they were purchased from the iTunes Store.

I have my iTunes Library on and external hard drive. I have a new computer and want to use iTunes and KEEP my files on the external drive.

My iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and I was able to access / add to the library from my windows laptop.
I now have a new laptop, and want to be able to KEEP the library on the external drive while being able to use iTunes from the new laptop.
I have selected "choose library" in iTunes, and have chosen the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
My media populates in iTunes on the new laptop version of iTunes, but when I click on a song iTunes says that it cannot locate the song.
Your help is kindly appreciated!

Thanks. Were the settings shown in your last screenshot in force when you added the song that's shown on being on the C: drive? It is also possible that at some point you ran iTunes with the external drive disconnected, in which case it will have defaulted to the library on the C: drive, or that you've run iTunes without explicitly selecting the library on the E: drive. To make sure the latter is the case, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes, then when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to the location of your current iTunes Library.itl file, and click Open.
Part of your issue may that its not obvious where that current database file is located. The folder layout on your E: drive isn't the one that's most easily managed - so its possible that the database file could be in:
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes 1
I suggest that a lot of your issues can be addressed by reshaping your library into the reliable "portable" layout as described in tt2's Make a split library portable user tip. Comparing your screenshot with the equivalent on my system (where I have a "well-formed" library on an external drive):
where:
there is just one iTunes folder with everything used by iTunes inside it
all media is held within subfolders of the iTunes Media folder
The way you have yours set up, where the iTunes Media Folder location is set to E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes rather than E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes Media is probably why some of your media is not being located correctly - the extent to which iTunes can correctly resolve locations is, to an extent, reliant on the folders for the different media kinds (Music, Audiobooks, etc.) being inside the iTunes Media media folder. One common misunderstanding (not helped at all by Apple's documentation!) is that the iTunes Media Folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced does not tell iTunes where to find anything; rather it determines where iTunes will put new additions to your Library, in conjunction with the Copy files to iTunes Media folder ... flag:
I would definitely take the time to work through the steps to bring your library into the "portable" shape - there may be few remaining issues with broken links when that's complete but this will be much easier to fix if your library is in a more standard structure.

Updated iTunes and lost my files again! Please help!?!

I just updated iTunes and once again lost my library. Using Windows7 64 bit OS. Now I found the file and imported as before and have some but not all of my files. Is there any way to restore my playlists?? I have spent hours creating these for my various devices and each time software is updated I have to do it all over again. It duplicates the names of the playlists but no files are within the lists themselves. Also I don't have any songs that I have paid for in the store. These tally into the hundreds as well into the hundreds of dollars. I kinda would like to have these back as well. Any help here??? Also must I rip all my CDs every time, this process is getting very, very, very old!

So you failed to maintain a backup ( basic) and you lost your music. And then after this happened once, you still have failed to maintain a backup?
Let's review your logic... If iTunes FAILS, doesn't work properly and it has BUGS the size of 18 wheels trucks THEN it's the users fault???
OK. He should have made a DVD back up in case of a disaster like this, I'll give you that. BUT the problems are Apple's and iTunes software engineering team responsibility. They're the ones providing defective, buggy software.
The reason 90% of users won't make a backup is just because they TRUST Apple to correct the problem if it already happened before or they don't have the time to do it. Or maybe they're just plain lazy. LOL

Renaming files on both iTunes and the Windows file system

I use the voice memo app on my iPhone to record things and sync them to my laptop with iTunes. In the past when I renamed the files from the date/time default inherited from the phone, the change was copied to the file stored on the laptop -- so I could change the name to "Joe Bloggs speaks" and then find the file in the iTunes folder on my machine with the same name. Since upgrading to 10.5.1, this has changed. Now I alter the name in iTunes and when I click on "find the file in Windows Explorer" it still has the orginal date/time name on the M4A file. Is there something I can tweak to get back the useful function I had before? Or can somebody in Apple make sure this is function is restored in the next iTunes update.

Under the Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab do you have Keep iTunes Media folder organized? If not then iTunes won't move/rename files as you edit them.
I'm not able to check myself just now, but I suppose it is possible that renaming has been disabled on Voice Memos so the original date & time can be recovered from Explorer and it would stop voice memos moving into your music folders after an edit instead of being in a predicatible location.

ITunes and FLAC, SHN Files?

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to make iTunes support .FLAC files and/or SHN files? How come apple will not include these codecs?
Hello apple! Please support .FLAC and .SHN in iTunes!!!
Thanks!

As long as you're only going to be using the files in iTunes or an iPod, there's nothing wrong with Apple Lossless, and it'll give you the same quality as AIFF in a smaller space.
You can always convert to AIFF if you change your mind at any point.
Have you heard iTunes' AAC encoder recently? I revisited it awhile ago, and was pleasantly surprised. Since then I've backed up all my Apple Lossless files onto DVD, and converted my iTunes library to 160 kbps VBR AAC. It gives a very passable quality in a much smaller file size.
If you're intent on preserving the original sound of the CD though, Apple Lossless is definitely the way to go (on a Mac anyway).

Changing song info in Itunes and the actual file names

How can I change the song info in iTunes and make it change the actual file names?
It gets a bit tiring after every single time iTunes updates I have to re-organize my 3000+ songs. I tried to do a quick search for an answer in the forums but I wasn't exactly sure what I should search for so sorry if this is a duplicate post.
Is this possible? (does this make sense?)
Thanks!

I have the option checked and I made several changes to the ablums name and song names for several songs in my library. iTunes changed the files to the new folder names and renamed the files.
The only problem is that I have empty folders of the old album names.

Missing Task App and MP3 Music Files

Hello! I've reset my phone to factory default recently. I can't seem to find the Task App as well as the pre-loaded MP3 music files that can be found in the Walkman app when you bought the phone.
Any idea where I can download these?
Thanks!

Task app should be downloadable from google play or come with a future update.Did you try that?About the songs,you should tell someone who has the compact to send them to you.

Itunes and mp3 on the hard disk

Hi all
i just bought the new ipod classic 80 gb and transferring music from my CDs to mp3 stored on the hard disk. i have syncronized my ipod, but now i feel that i'd need the 60+gb of space used by mp3s. Is there a way to cancel these files without making itunes delete che songs on the ipod? i dont want to lose this music on the ipod next time i convert a cd and i want to sync it with the new mp3.
thanks

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, storing music on your iPod and nowhere else is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this about backing up media.

ITunes and MP3

Iam having issues with converting to MP3 format. I've downloaded songs and now when I try to import them to MP3, I get an error telling me that it is a protected file and connot be converted? Why is this happening and is there a way to fix this problem?

Are these songs purchased from the iTunes Store. If they are standard iTunes copy protected songs they can't be converted. All you can do with them is burn them to Audio CD which you can use like any regular CD you make. If you want songs that can be converted you need to purchase iTunes Plus tracks.

uniT these tracks play fine iN iNclude: the sony mp3 player iN the car, WMP11, wiNamp, my Sansa player, my RCA player,
