ITunes does not delete songs  -- Send song files to the Trash for deletion

27May2012
Apple Support:
I have Itunes on an external drive.  I put the (song) files on another external drive for storage becasue the itunes drive is full.
After copying the files, I tried to delete the songs.  I had the option to keep the files or send them to the trash.
I selected the send to trash option, then went to the Finder to empty the trash.
The files were taken off the library, but the files were not deleted.  My hard drive is still very full. 
How do I delete the files  -- remove them from my hard drive.
Anohter issue:
I tried the same thing earlier this morning.  I may need to reinstall the songs on Itunes (once I get itunes to delete the files from the hard drive).  
I appreciate any help you can give me.

It's definitely intel, why wouldn't it be?
I don't know.
You list a G5.
A G5 is a PowerPC chip made by Motorola, not Intel.
And G5 Macs/iMacs have not been made for +4 years.

  • I'f ITunes does not have a particular song

    I have had very good luck with purchases from I Tunes, songs real clean without distortion. Can someone recommend another good music source for when ITunes does not have a particular song? Thanks

    It depends what you are looking for. Amazon.com has an excellent selection of major label and independent music. Unlike iTunes, the amazon selection is at 256 K and is 100% non-DRM, so it makes sense to look there before iTunes.
    Audiolunchbox.com and emusic.com specialize in independent labels and each have millions of tracks. Also there are literally hundreds of online stores that cater to particular styles and markets; a few I have successfully used are eclassical.com (classical) beatport.com (DJ music).

  • I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

    I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

    Hi Gary,
    The presentations were created originally with PowerPoint. I have been using them on both KeyNote and PowerPoint with no problem, even after updating to MountainLion. Problems started at the 10.8.3 upgrade. The installation was an upgrade form Lion. Yes I mean Open Office, I am able to open the presentation with Open Office and play it with no problems.
    The presentation gets loaded by Power Point and the Power Point freezes. Key Note can not even load it. Stops 3/4 of the way. This happens with ALL my presentations.
    I want to thank you for your help.

  • I reorganised my music organisation totally in iTunes on my Mac (Lion). iTunes does not sync this new artist organisation to the iPod and many albums are divided over several artists. How can I change this?

    I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

  • ITunes does not recognize my CD/Rom Burner. The CD burner works with all other applications on my computer. How do I correct this?

    ITunes does not recognize my burner. The burner works perfectfully with all other applications. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi scotty2hotty1972,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if iTunes isn't recognizing your optical drive:

  • Cannot get movie track(karaoke) to go to iTunes  Does not give me Send movie to iTunes, only send song to itunes

    In new Garageband I cannot transfer a karaoke track with my vocals to itunes.  SHARE will not give me the Send Movie to Itunes only send song to itunes.  I have show movie selected.

    In GarageBand 10.0 the export of soundtracks is different from the previous versions. You need two steps:
    First write the soundtrack to the video file with "File > Movie > Export Audio to Movie File"
    Then import the video from the Finder to iTunes.

  • ITunes does not import all artists/songs from folder

    I have had several issues with getting itunes to import all the music I have. I have selected the folder that I want itunes to be associated with. But when I go into itunes not all the artists imported. However, if I select add a folder, and then the artist, it imports the artist. I have tried to add the whole folder again, but still does not import all the artist/songs. At first I didn't think that I had imported the CDto the folder, but then when I went into my music folder it was there.
    A couple of times when I have opened iTunes it was like starting over. I lost my playlists. I am not as concerned in getting those back as long as I won't lose all the changes I am now making. We also own two iPod shuffles, don't know if that makes a difference.
    Thanks inadvance for any information!

    I had a similar problem with a Jimmy Buffett album,I sent the iTunes store an e-mail described the problem including the album title and receipt number and within 24 hours they responded and had done a "reset" and problem solved.

  • IPAD 1 problems after ios 5.1.1 update, itunes does not recognize IPAD.. I check the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (My ipad) but unable to use it.

    I am using the generation 1 IPAD.
    I recently updated my ios from ios 4 to ios 5.1.1, I did the restore after the update and all seemed fine as it was detected the first time.
    I tried connecting the IPAD again but it shows that the computer, itunes is not able to detect the IPAD.
    I checked on the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (IPAD) and says no software for the driver. I am using windows 7 on my laptop. I never had any such problem with the iso 4. Any suggestions as to how this can be solved?
    Thanks,
    Vinay

    Thank you, I tried uninstalling the device driver to reinstall again. After doing the scan for hardware changes, nothing flashes on the device manager. I dont see anything related to the IPAD or any other device for which driver shows unidentified device. It is as though the device is not being seen by the computer at all..
    I even tried flashing the home/sleep buttons together but that doesnt seem to identify any device either.
    Anything else I am missing?

  • What is the system doing when I empty a large file from the trash?

    I am in the process of deleting my old iPhoto library. When I installed OS X 10.10.3 it created a new Photos Library.photoslibrary and left the old iPhotos library as an archive. The old library is 249 gigabytes. I don't have "Empty Trash securely" on, and yet it is taking hours for the Finder to empty the trash with the 249 gigabyte iPhotos library in it. What is odd is that for a time, the amount of free space on my MacBook was increasing. It went from 77 GB to 88 GB, and then it started dropping all the way to 70 GB free. Now it is back up to 83.61 GB free.
    What is the Finder doing when it deletes a huge file? I realize that the iPhotos Library is not a single file, but contains hundreds of folders and thousands of files. Still I find it odd that it is taking it so many hours to delete, and that the amount of free space on my Mac goes up and down and up. Can someone explain this?
    It has been deleting for 4 hours and based on the "Emptying the Trash …" progress bar, it should take another two to three hours.

    Yes, but why would the space available go up and down and up as the files are deleted? If the Finder is deleting the files, shouldn't the free space on the drive be steadily increasing as the Trash is emptied?

  • Itunes does not sync 128 kbps songs to my iphone

    I have tried both manual and automatic sync. All Other bitrates work fine, the songs also play fine in iTunes. They have also been working fine on my iphone until recently, but they suddenly vanished and will not resync.

    OK. I managed to fix this. That's what I did:
    1. In Finder, make copy the audio files that won't synchronize.
    2. Rename the files e.g. appending a "2" at the end of the name.
    3. Import the files in iTunes (drag and drop from Finder into iTunes' Library)
    4. Rename the album in iTunes (e.g. also append a "2" at the end of the album's name)
    5. Put the new files in a Playlist and synchronize
    After that I removed the original files and changed the names back so that the copy is like the original was before.
    I suppose the important thing is to make iTunes "think" that those are new files. Note that I did remove the files from iTunes and add them back without renaming or copying and it did not work. I supposse that the copying and/or renaming is important.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Will

  • ITunes does not sync all my songs

    I recently decided that it would be nice to have all my songs on my Android device as well as on my iPad & iPod, and to do that I needed to have all my songs synced with iTunes on my computer. I completed the update to version 11.3.0.54 but my library was empty. I remember that the last time I went on iTunes, which was probably more than a year ago, everything was there, but it was all gone. I plugged in my iPad for the first time and started a sync; that has all the music I would want on it, so I decided I could just sync it. I did that but only about half of my songs synced and then showed up. I then did "transfer purchases" and got quite a few more songs to transfer, but I still don't have any of the songs that I got off of CDs. Does anybody know how I could transfer these? Thanks!

    Check through this.

  • Itunes does not download all purchased songs from the Itunes Store

    A few weeks ago, I purchased the latest CD of Lionel Richie from the Itunes Store, but only 4 songs were downloaded. Now every time I try to download the rest CD by either checking for purchases in the Itunes menu or trying to buy the CD again, it tells me the Itunes Store is temporarily unavailable...
    Anyone knows how to solve this??

  • Itunes does not show previous day backup file.

    Hi,
    Recently i have updated my itunes to 11.0, since than whenever I backup my iphone 4.
    for eg. backup date 9th Dec.,2012 another backup date 10th Dec.,2012. On 10th Dec.,2012 i try to restore my phone back to 9th Dec.,2012 but im unable find the backup of 9th Dec.,2012. Please help!!!!

    Typically there is only one backup.
    Each time the device is connected and backs up, it merely updates the existing backup with what has changed.
    The only time a new backup is created is when the device is restored or iOS is updated.
    Basically, if the device is backed up five days in a row, there are not five backups, only one.
