ITunes clear function

Is there a way to disable the pop-up window message that appears when a song is cleared from the library?
Here is the message: "Do you want to move the selected items to the Trash, or keep them in the iTunes music folder?"
When I use the "clear" option on a song I "always" want to move it to the trash, so the question for me is redundant.
Thanks for any tips.

No, there (unfortunately) isn't.
I guess the names are included in the first packet of the stream. As soon as you're connecting to a radio station, the name reverts to the original.
I've also tried to change the genre, to make it more descriptive to myself, but that doesn't work either.
Some streams have 'music' as genre, which isn't very descriptive.

Is it possible to keep all iTunes media on an external hard drive and not on my Mac Book and have ITunes still function?

Let me begin by saying I'm new to the Mac world as well as to the realm of online forums so I apologize if this is a question that was already asked and/or if it is a very noobish question...
But anyway, I just recently got the new Macbook Pro 15" with RD and I am curious if I can keep all of my Itunes media on an external hard drive without keeping any of it on the Macbook itself and have Itunes still function (when the HD is connected of course). I am trying to keep the computer memory clutter free and not fill it up with music and stuff so I want to keep all of my media on a 1T Buffalo external hard drive so the computer stays like brand new for a long time..Right now I have about 5G worth of music on my hard drive and I thought it was only on the hard drive and I just recently found out that it is also within the music folder on the computer itself. Any thoughts? Sorry if it is an odd question, I can try to rephrase the question if need be. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

This just started happening.. I open Itunes and the little round rainbow loading indicator just goes on and doesnt stop.. My itunes wont function.. It gets stuck. Then i have to force quit.. I tried to shut down and restart. also reloaded the latest itune

This just started happening.. I open Itunes and the little round rainbow loading indicator just goes on and doesnt stop.. My itunes wont function.. It gets stuck. Then i have to force quit.. I tried to shut down and restart. also reloaded the latest itune 11.1.3 and it still gets stuck.
i use an external HD and thats fine.. all files are in there. But I have no idea why my itunes app is getting stuck.
Am I the only person this is happening to? What can I do to correct this problem?

The message function on my Ipad just quit working. I was using it while in Mexico and it just quit. I have come home and synced my Ipad with Itunes and function still does not work. How do I get this function to work again?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Validating clearing functions

Hi,
can we validate the clearing functions F-03, F-32, F-44 for certain document types? We want to make sure that DocType 'ZL','ZG','ZS','ZI' can't be cleared with regular document types like 'KR','SA' etc.
what we can write in prerequisite and check or do we require to write any Exit in OB28?.
Thanks
Suresh

hi,
I'd solve this with an exit in OB28 as you mentioned.
so create 2 Customizing tables:
1 for allowed Z-doctypes and 2 for regular doctypes
and check e.g., if payment is in 1 and invoice is in 2

Itunes backup function on older Mac operating systems

Is there a way to use the new itunes backup function on an older Mac running OS X 3.1? Or am I stuck transferring files the old way by using the ipod as a hard drive?

Every time I restart my computer, the contents of iTunes clear!!!!!

When my Dell computer is restarted, the iTunes clears out and that shouldn't be happening. It is terribly annoying and I am in need of help.
Thank you.

I reinstalled again and I tried to drag the Spotify icon from my dock into applications. That didn't work. (I know I'm probably telling you what you already know, but I wanted to share for other less advanced users like myself).
I searched in Finder and could not find Spotify.
I quit Spotify without rebooting and it disappeared from my dock. I was worried.
I then went to finder, chose Go and Computer, then I searched spotify on my hard drive, and Spotify was there. When I looked at its path, it appeared to be in Apps, but it wasn't appearing in the Apps folder. So, I dragged the Spotify icon from my search results into Apps, and now, my problem is solved.
I'm not sure what was going on, but I'm happy to have it fixed, and I appreciate your help.
Y Mende, que tenga una buena fin de semana. Me encanta Toledo.

HT204406 help! cannot perform Itunes Match function

I've owned a iMac for 2 years. Itunes match function used to perform correctly, until about a month ago. My softwares are up to date, including Lion I just installed successfully. Itunes version is the latest.
When I try to perform Itunes match: Step 1 completes correctly, but NOT step 2. Step 2 stops, then loops back into step 1, and again and again ( loop..)
Makes me a little sad...
Anyone to help?

never mind...just needed to restart the phone...seems to be working now...

New itunes search function is terrible

The new itunes search function is really terrible, as a dj and listener with over 250GB of mp3s I find the new system to be extremely frustrating. I want to be able to type in a tag and sort my music hierarchically and I am no longer able to do this.
Sad.

If you want to go back to iTunes 10 I am happy to show you the way.
I am happy to regard myself an expert now on how to downgrade iTunes 11 back to 10. Having found a straight forward and logical way of doing so I thought it my duty to share with others. I can't express what a relief it is to have version 10 back again. See the method below. Let me know how you got on.
You can jump to the method below but I feel I need to express my view on the experience I have had of using iTunes 11.
I have been a mac obsessed devoted fan all my life (I'm 46), never used a PC and got my first mac back in 1988. Until just the past few months I wouldn't hear anyone say anything derogatory about anything apple. However a few things are rocking my 'religious like' devotion. Most of all I have been dumfunded about issues of the recent iTunes evolution in version 11.
I am also obsessed with music, movies and music videos. It's not just a hobby - I am a DJ and Video DJ by proffesion. iTunes, since the very first release, has been the backbone to the way I organise and store all my digital media. I never had any need to seek an alterantive and have also enjoyed the intergration it provides with my iPhone and other things etc etc.
My libary is huge. I don't mean to brag but aside from my digital music collection of 40,000 + tracks, either purchassed from the iTunes store or imported from my CD colection, my music video collection is over 10,000. I am a proffeciant iTunes user and I often have reason to need to retag my files within iTunes or sometimes I use MetaX.
Until now I have never resisted installing any available apple updates and even feel some excitement in anticipation of improved features etc. iTunes version 11 has changed all that now. It is, without question, an inferior version to 10. Anyone who feels otherwize is probaly only using itunes in a basic way and for this reason I have always thought there was a market for a pro version of iTunes for people like me.
iTunes 11 simply doesn't work. I click to play a track, click again cos it hasn't started and click another time and only then do I get to hear the track play for the start three times. It takes ages to build links to external files, just as long as it takes to actually import them to the media folder. Tagging takes rediculous long the point yu would need to leave the job to be done over night. I could go on but you are probably reading this because you have aleady experienced your own issues concerning version 11.
Befoe following the method below, I tried to seek alternatives to iTunes all together. I briefly tried Double Twist and Song Bird amougst many other but it truth iTunes is better for my personal purposes.
The most dispointing thing about version 11 is the silence from Apple about the obvious problems. It is this specific fact that has agrivated me so much. Maybe I am romanticising, bt I can't help imagine that SJ would have never let version 11 go as far as actually being released.
Here are the Stages and Steps: For OS X only. (have no idea for PC users). Thank you to Bogoss on MacForums, whoever you are.
Stage 1.
Note: Any changes you have made to your music files since you used last used version 10 will be lost but any purchasses you have made in the time since can be downloaded again if you can't find those purchasses in your media folder. If recently made playlists are of particular importance you could export the lists to somewhere for later.
1. Back up your iTunes Folder(s) just incase
2. Download these apps 1. AppZapper from http://appzapper.com (the free version will do). 2. Pacifist fromhttp://www.charlessoft.com.
3. Download iTunes 10.7 (last version before 11). Check your download folder, it might still be there. You can also get it from : http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/0...iTunes10.7.dmg
4. Using AppZapper simply uninstall itunes 11. Before you drag the iTunes icon from the Application folder to the window you will need to open the preferences of AppZapper and deselect the tick next to "Keep Apple applications safe"
5. Open the 10.7 dmg file, you will see the pkg file(usally you would double click it to install), but now, this time drag it out somewhere, eg desktop.
6. Open Pacifist
7 drag the pkg iTunes 10.7 file to pacifist and then click install from the menu bar
8, during installation, click replace everytime a window pops up.
9. installation finished, iTunes 10.7 is back!
10. Don't open it yet!!!!
Stage 2.
See this video that explains the pocess here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXKZ2IBNsIA
1. In FINDER - go to your iTunes Folder in the iTunes Folder.
2. Within it, open the folder called Previous iTunes Libraries.
3. Identify the most recent backup. It has the date at the end.
4. Duplicate it. Move it to the desktop.
5. Rename it as iTunes Library.itl. Basically remove the date from the file name.
6. Go back to your iTunes Folder and rename the file there which is already named iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library.itl.old.
7. Now move the iTunes Library.itl file from your desktop to this location.
8. Now open iTunes 10.7. If it can't find your iTunes library, select choose library and navigate the application to the new iTunes Library.itl file you created.
9. Breath sigh of relief, you're done!
10. Copy this and post it to help others. Only come back to me to say Thanks, not for more support.

CLEAR Function is very slow. Remedy?

The Run Package > CLEAR function is running very slowly for segments with large number of records for clear down.
My questions:
1) Is there anything I can do to prep before the CLEAR is executed to speed up processing?
2) Are there benchmarks available so I can determine if the performance of our system and application requires tuning/maintenance?
CLEAR Statistics:
Instance:                 No. of Records:           Load Cube time in sec.:        Total CLEAR run time:

I am most concerned about instances 3 & 4.
Questions continue:
3) Can I continue to process in other areas of the application that is not in the same time period and category as the selected area for CLEAR while the long clear downs are running?
Thank you.

Hi Connie,
Instead of using the CLEAR try using the CLEAR FROM FACT package.
If you don't see it as an existing package in DM then you'll need to create it. There should be a Clear From Fact.dtsx in the Examples or System folder.
Thanks,
John

New PC with Win 8.1. iTunes partial functionality?

New PC with Win 8.1. iTunes installs fine, but it looks like it has partial functionality. No menu at all. No "devices" down left side. Nothing. Can anyone help?

When I went to charge my ipod, iTunes cleared all data, help?

I put my ipod onto the usb cord to charge on the computer like always. Then iTunes opened and all my data stored in it was cleared out. It opened as if I just downloaded iTunes. This is the first time it has happened. Please help me determine what triggered this to happen and how to fix it.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

ITunes Media Function Keys Not Working

So I picked up a new MacBook Pro Retina 13" a week or so ago, and it's going great so far, except for one thing. It seems that the Media function keys aren't working in iTunes?
I checked under the keyboard preferences to ensure the "standard function" keys box wasn't checked, and it wasn't. All the other functions keys are working properly except the back, play/pause, and skip keys. I tested the keys with other functions, such as setting a shortcut to the F8 key, and it recognized the input, so its not a hardware issue.
I tried to find help elsewhere, but most people seemingly just had that box in the settings checked, which wasn't the problem for me it seems.
Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I see that most of you are having a issue with the function keys.
Try this- http://goo.gl/gdlS3?
This is a hotfix for this issue. Now keep in mind this only supports
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 7 Home Basic
Windows 7 Home Premium
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Starter
Windows 7 Ultimate
So if you don't have this, then don't run this fix.
Also, If you guys can give me your product # and complete model name of the notebook you have, so I can send you a link to update your BIOS.
Here is a link to show you how to find your product #- http://goo.gl/vYKya

Thank you for your help, but another person had already answered me. =]
After I re-installed the keyboard drivers, the "fn + " keys became functional again. The driver i installed was "HP Quick Launch Buttons" or just "sp49456" if you want to know.
Thank you for your help, I am very pleased with it.

IPhone freeze/iTunes not functioning correctly

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Last night I was updating apps on the 3G when it suddenly froze. I was able to turn it off and then turn back on.
I got the symbol to plug the phone into iTunes, so I did that and it said I needed download the latest software update and that I was in recovery mode. The update is like 280MB and I'll make it to 200 or so before I get an error message (1119 is the error # I believe).
I rebooted my computer and tried to turn off/on the phone again but I get the plug to iTunes message again.
Not sure where the problem is lying exactly right now. Can't use the phone at all.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Before I saw your reply, I shut down my iPhone fully, restarted it (I had to reset the defaults) and reconnected. The problem did not reoccur. It also seemed to correct a problem I was having the "weather" function on my iPhone. Thanks again.
