Itunes files and Sony MEX-1GP In-Dash CD/MP3 Player

i bought this car stereo which has a removable face plate. the plate itself connect to your pc via a usb cable. i can drag and drop files from itunes to the face plate via windows explorer. the problem is is that those file purchase from itunes or podcasts file are not recognized when i go to play these in the car. all other files (ie cd's that i have burned to mp3 work). has anyone ben able to figure this out that owns this car stereo. its almost as if i need to register the car stereo itself as another computer

If these are protected store purchases, (protected AAC format), & not iTunes Plus purchases which have no protection, chances are they aren't compatible with your player.
Actually, I just finished a "search" on this player & it appears that it's not compatible with any type of AAC format. If this is the case, the only thing you can do is burn your purchases to an audio CD.

When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish.

Can I copy my iTunes files and folders to Time Capsule wirelessly from my PC?

Can I copy my iTunes files and folders to Time Capsule wirelessly from my PC? I was wondering since my iTunes files and folders are connected to iTunes.

You can but the TC is the worst possible location. The design is slow to start and quick to stop data connections.. that will cause trouble.
Moving folders has specific instructions.

Move it to an external hard disk fine.. but be very sure you will not be happy with the TC as a location.

Try this:
1. Settings>General>Date & Time>Turn off set automatically
2. Set date one year ahead
3. Go back to iTunes and try again.
4. You will get the same error.
5. Go back to settings general date and time and turn back on 'set automatically'
Try connecting to iTune Store again.

MSVCR80.dll missing. Is this necessary iTunes file and is it safe to download?

MSVCR80.dll missing. Is this necessary iTunes file and is it safe to download?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I just downloaded the newest version of Itunes. I can't delete anything and I can't sync to my MP3 player. I tried deleting it and installing an earlier version of Itunes but it can't read the library. Please help.

With iTunes 11 on PCs the drop-down menus are hidden by default - control-B should get the menus to show
This screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC :

Can you use iTunes match and not get duplicates if you maintain mp3s and aiffs files of the same song in either the same or separate libraries?

I maintain a collection of aiff files and mp3 files of the same music.
Aiff for home listening and Mp3 for my devices.
I can arrange these in the same or seperate libraires.
Will "itunes match" duplicate the songs in the cloud if they in the same or seperate libraies on the same mac?
If not, is anyone aware of how to manage seperate Mp3 and Aiff libraries so as not to get duplicates in itune match?
All assistance is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello mracole,
I checked my "purchases" and the 7/19/13 purchases don't show up. However, the earlier versions from usually several years back...the ones that are Matched...often do show up in my Purchases. I suspect that somehow those REALLY purchased several year old versions were deleted and redownloaded by me so I could change them to the 256 kbps versions under iTunes Match. They were probably 128 kbps versions originally when purchased.
Why the earlier versions that were really purchased are now identified as Matched is puzzling.
Why I now have Purchased versions from 7/19/13 is puzzling too...especially since these versions do NOT show up in my purchases.
Calling Apple Support if a good idea unless someone can explain this mystery. I might even take one of my laptops to the Apple store and show a Genius.
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, Mr. Luigi

I deleted all my iTunes files and need help recreating them.

Hello everyone
I accidentlly deleted all the iTunes files (NOT the content, just the files iTunes uses in its database). When I tried to create a new database, iTunes moved all my my music videos into the Movies or Home videos, which I don't want. I have a copy of my folder set up that I want iTunes to use and to not alter (exactly as it was before I deleted the files). Here is what I thought I need to do. Please corect me if I am wrong:
1. remove all the files that iTunes has relocated to different folders (IE, basically delete them all)
2. copy the folders onto the drive I use for my media
3. start itunes
4 unselect Keep my files organized
5. scan the folders
6. Select all the music and videos and classify them as "Music" or "Music Videos"
This should keep all the files in the same folders as the backup copy, without moving them to Videos or Home Videos. I assume this will also retain the current Artist / Album / Song hierarchy.
Is this correct?
Any better way to do this?
Thanks everyone who can help!

1) If you bought them from Apple you canprobably download them again.
2) If you back up your computer as you should, they will be on the backup.
3) If you stop using your computer this instant (because as you use the computer it overwrites deleted files even if you have lots of space), buy recovery software ($100+), there is a chance you can recover some of them, though they may have lost filenames and will be in quite a mess.

I need to move my ITunes files and library to an external hard drive as my C drive is getting loaded. Nothing under the move files topic adresses that except to say it is not reccomended.

I have deleted my iTunes files and when attempting to Time Machine it is stopping at a damaged file and not letting me continue Error 36 can I force a copy or even better recover my deleted files

I have deleted my iTunes files by mistake and when attempting to recover in time machine I am getting an error message 36 when it finds an incomplete file an I use another method.

I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.

How can I merge an AOL iTunes files and new(different) iTunes files?

I used to have an AOL iTunes account. I now have an iTunes account and can no longer access these files purchased under AOL iTunes account. How can I merge these accounts or even access the files under the AOL iTunes account? In addition, I can no longer access the old AOL iTunes account name.
When I try to play any of these files, I am asked to authorize the computer with the AOL iTunes account name and it does not accept the information.

There is no way to link or merge Apple IDs.
If you've forgotten the password, reset it here: https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa/iforgot

How to recover iTunes files and playlists

I recently had to reinstall the operating system on my computer. That means I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. Fortunately, I kept a back-up of all the iTunes files on an external hard drive, so I should be able to recover everything.
However, I want to be able to recover how everything was organized previously including playlists.
Is it possible to use my backup files to recover the playlists? If yes, how? Thanks.

It depends exactly on what it was you backed up. If you made a back up of your entire iTunes folder that will have included the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). If that's what you did then copy the folder back to My Music and open iTunes while holding down the Shift key. You will get a box opening giving you the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. Navigate to where you copied the iTunes folder and choose the library file that's there: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Can i convert itunes songs i paid for to play on an mp3 player

Im trying to put songs i purchased from itunes and put them on an mp3 player but its not working. Am i able to convert them back to they can work?

If they are iTunes Plus songs (purchased since 2009) you can convert them to MP3 by following these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Note that the conversion process will create a new MP3 and leave the original AAC in place, so make sure you are using the new one for your player.
If you have any "protected" iTunes song files, you need to first upgrade them to iTunes Plus, and then do the conversion.

HT1414 iPhone 4S and Sony MEX-BT3100U will not pair, I have updated iPhone software to iOS 7.0.4 to no avail.

So I bought this Sony headunit at the weekend, it pairs with my iPhone 5 via bluetooth without problem. My iPhone 4S will not find it despite following all the steps from Sony and Apple.
Sony state that it is compatible and that I need to take up the issue with Apple.

Anyone resolved this problem?

Hi amit786898,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
