ITunes U files from MIT

iTunes U files from MIT that I dl to MacBook Pro do not show up in iTunes library.
There is a "!" next to some of the files that tells me "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play."
The course specifically is Physics 1: Classical Mechanics. Two of the lectures are there in my library: Lecture 15 and Lecture 35. Lectures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 26 all have the "!". The rest still have the "GET" link to dl again. Anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem with all MIT OCW courses I tried. The audios are fine, videos give me the error "There was a problem adding ... to iTunes. The file might be corrupted or a file type that iTunes cannot play."
Interesting, when I try to play the file from the temp cache, e.g.
/Users/<username>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads/iTunes U/Lecture 01_ Introduction _ Introductory Biology.tmp/download.mp4
it plays fine in QuickTime but cannot be imported into iTunes

I mistakenly deleated itunes exe file from my laptop, how can I download it again?

I mistakenly deleated itunes exe file from my machine, how can I downlad it again? Its not available on the apple page.

Google "iTunes".
If you already installed iTunes you no longer need the .exe file.

Add mp3 to iTunes, delete file from Downloads, add Comment?

I'm trying to make a folder action that will:
- Watch my 'Downloads' folder for downloaded .mp3 files.
- Add those .mp3 files to iTunes, letting iTunes copy to music folder.
- Delete the original file from the 'Downloads' folder.
- In iTunes, append '#single' to the Comment field of added .mp3.
So far I have the first three working, but cannot get it to append the #single part to the Comment field, here's what I have:
property myFiletypes : {".mp3"}
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
set myFinderItems to added_items
tell application "System Events"
set allItems to every item of myFinderItems
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to the count of allItems
try
-- get an item
set myFinderItem to (item i of allItems as alias)
-- check if it is a folder
tell application "Finder" to set myItemIsFolder to (kind of myFinderItem = "Folder")
-- if it isn't a folder...
if myItemIsFolder is false then
-- see if the file has the right extension
tell application "Finder" to set myItemExtension to "." & (name extension of myFinderItem) as string
if myFiletypes contains myItemExtension then
set mySongName to myFinderItem as alias
-- add track to iTunes
tell application "iTunes"
add mySongName
end tell
tell application "Finder" to delete file myFinderItem
end if
end if
on error
display dialog "Error"
end try
end repeat
end adding folder items to

Better yet, an Applescript that can be used as a folder action to watch the Downloads folder and:
1) Open .mp3s in iTunes and append #single to track Comments, then delete original .mp3s.
2) Open .zip and .rar archives, parse then unarchived folder for .mp3 files, add them to iTunes, append #album to track Comments, then delete original folder of .mp3s.
2a) Bonus points if the script adds the .mp3s to itunes in descending order based on file name track numbers (track 10, track 9, track 8...).

How do I transfer non-iTunes music files from my iPad to my MacBook using home sharing?

My MacBook Pro hard drive recently had to be replaced by Apple, because it quit for some reason they couldn't identify. However, now my ipad2 doesn't recognize my macbook pro and I have at least 200 music files in my library on my iPad that I did not get from iTunes. I need to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5 but I also don't want to lose all those music files. I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries, but I can't figure out how to export files from my iPad. Please help, anyone?

I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries,
Unfortunately, you can only stream content to your iOS devices via home sharing (not sync it).
I'd have a check through the following user tip instead:

I can't copy iTunes media files from one external hard drive to another.

Hi, I am running the latest iTunes and Mavericks software on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is stored on an external Seagate 2tb hard drive and it is almost full. I want to transfer the files to a WD Elements 3tb external hard drive and have made that new volume the destination folder for my iTunes library. However, even though I have enabled read/write on both volumes and made the iTunes media folders on both shared folders, I can't copy all the files from the Seagate drive to the WD drive. It comes up with an error message that says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)". I can transfer files from my MacBook hard drive to the new volume, but can't copy files from the old Seagate volume to my MacBook hard drive; it makes the "boing" sound that indicates it is copying but nothing transfers. Files that won't copy include all music files, some video files and all podcast files. Some transferred with no problem. Any ideas out there?

Hi Limnos, thanks very much for your reply.
both external drives came preformatted for Windows but I erased each and reformatted them for Mac before using them.
i made the destination folder on the new WD drive the new iTunes folder using Advanced preferences in iTunes.
my original iTunes folder on the first drive contained all my iTunes files, as that, also, was the destination folder that was linked via Advanced preferences.
If I download new content now with the new drive attached, iTunes has no trouble finding where to place the files.
in Preferences I have both boxes checked (copy files" and "organize") that deal with copying iTunes files.
When I first attempted to copy all iTunes files from one media folder to the other on the external drives, I just did a drag and drop of the whole iTunes media folder from one to the other while both were mounted on my desktop. It started copying immediately with no problems, but as it progressed it started skipping files, each time displaying the error message I reported earlier. that included my entire Music folder. When I open, for example, a season folder that contains files that would not copy, eg, Modern Family Season 5, the episodes that won't copy are there and visible but any attempt to drag and drop them into the correct folder on the new drive results in the error message. There is no pattern to it; it will choose some episodes from some seasons but not others, and no music at all.
when I look at the "missing" files in iTunes they have the small exclamation mark that indicates the file is missing, but when I locate it through iTunes it doesn't copy the file on the old external drive to the new one. It just plays it having found the file on the old drive.
originally I had to make the iTunes folder on the old drive into a shared folder using the Get info window after either a software upgrade or an OS upgrade (I can't remember which, it was several years ago). For some reason the upgrade changed the preferences of that folder to a Read Only folder and after researching the problem found the only way to keep using the drive was to make the folder a shared one. I can't remember why and I apologise for that but it was a long time ago.; I can tell you that at the time it was necessary.
thanks again for your time; I have a good working knowledge of iTunes and Macs in general so I truly believe I have done everything according to how it should be done,, but clearly I've done something wrong!

I moved iTunes TV files from my PC to an external drive. I want to return them to my PC so I can watch during travel, but cannot figure out how to move them back. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

I moved some iTunes TV shows from my PC hard drive to an external drive. I can watch them as long as the external drive is plugged in, but I now want to move them back to my PC to watch from the internal drive, but cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Is it just the TV Shows that you moved to the external, or did you consolidate all your media there?
What is the current location of the media folder given under Edit > Preferences > Advanced?
If the media folder is currently pointed to a folder on the internal drive you could select the files you want to copy, then right-click and select Consolidate Files from the pop-up menu. This will leave the originals behind. If you want to move specific files to a new media folder then my script ConsolidateByMoving can do this.

Copy Itune Music Files from Laptop to Windows Home Server

I just picked up an Acer easyStore unit which runs on Windows Home Server (WHS). This has an Itunes Server functionality and you can see the shared folders from this server in iTunes under "Shared". So, I copied my entire "iTunes" music folder from mu C: Drive on my laptop to my shared music folder on my WHS. Note I did not delete the original files from my C: drive nor have I changed the "Media Folder Location".
Off first glance it looked like all the files and folders copied to the server folder when I check the properties of each folder in Windows (i.e. the properties are identical). However, when I jump back and forth between my "Music" and my "Shared" Libraries within iTunes, it appears that the "Shared" library is less 110 songs (0.5 GB). Why would this be?
Thanks
RK

Is there any way to recover the iTunes Library file from the iPod Touch to preserve metadata like Date Added?

Topic.
I used software (SharePod) to retrieve music from my iPod Touch after my original harddrive failed, but the program does not retrieve the iTunes Library file needed to import the metadata into iTunes (though it shows in the program itself). The music backed up with no issue, but I don't have what I need to preserve things like Date Added, Play Count, etc. Any solution if I have only the physical iPod Touch?

Yo may be able to extract some info from the backup of the iPod:

How to delete ITunes U files from Ipod?

Hello I have the 5.5 gen video ipod.
I can find itunes U files on this ipod by navigating to genre>itunes u.
Problem is I can't see these files anywhere within Itunes to then delete them from the ipod after I have listened.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!

All you need to do is the following:
1. Select iTunes U tab from your ipod in itunes
2. Check the box next to "Sync iTunes U" at the top
3. Make sure the box next to "Automatically include" is UNCHECKED
4. Select any course; check every box in the right menu.
5. Click "Apply" at the bottom right of screen.
***If you notice the percent of your videos may increase (at the bottom of the screen that shows the percentage of your music and videos, etc.), don't worry because after it is done syncing it will fix itself.
6. Look at your ipod menu on the left toolbar...iTunes U should show up. At this point you can sync all courses and they will appear in this menu.
7. NOW you can delete them.
For some reason it doesn't work to sync automatically, so if you have a lot of courses, then it ***** for a bit, but at least you don't need to erase your entire ipod.

HT1349 Hello, how to move the iTunes master file from C drive to an external drive and them iTunes stick with the external drive after on an on going basic?

My desktop C drive is full HD of 1 TB, I would like to move the current iTunes master file to an external 4TB drive and then iTunes stick with the external drive
Could this be done, if yes how to do it?
Thank you for your help
Henri

If it's the same as with a PC, the procedure would be to:
(a) Plug in the new external drive,
(b) Set your iTunes preferences such that the iTunes Music Folder is on the new drive,
(c) Use the iTunes "Consolidate Library" utility to copy your library to the new location.
(d) When the transfer is complete, check "Get Info" on some songs to verify their location.
The original files will remain on the old drive, so you'll have a way to recover should there be a problem. You may need to manually copy any iPhone/Touch Apps to the new drive since I'm not sure those are transferred with the Consolidate utility.

When will Apple fix the bug that won't allow us to remove iTunes U files from iPods?

The title says it all.
I'm stuck with iTunes U files on my Gen 4 iPod Nano that I can't get off. Automatically syncing is not an option as my 75GB of music won't fit on my 16GB Nano.
Apple, it's been over a year! Come on, you're upsetting your customer base!

Create a playlist with the content that you want on the device, small enough to fit, restore the device and sync with just that playlist.

HT5100 How to get iTunes U files from iTunes to the iTunes U app, not music app

I've downloaded a full iTunes U course on my iMac using iTunes. I have an iPad and iPhone bothe with the iTunes U app. All software is up to date. The course is viewable on my Mac and in the music app on my iOS devices but not the iTunes U app. How can they all sync?

All you need to do is the following:
1. Select iTunes U tab from your ipod in itunes
2. Check the box next to "Sync iTunes U" at the top
3. Make sure the box next to "Automatically include" is UNCHECKED

How do I remove iTunes U files from my iPod?

I just loaded a few iTunes U files on my iPod (first generation Nano, software version 1.3.1), and now I can see no way to remove them. I manually manage all my music, but the iTunes U files don't show up in music. When I click on the iTunes U tab, I can see the series I want to remove in the Collections window, but it's faded and un-click-on-able.
Is there a way to do this without restoring the iPod?

I talked with a tech guy at apple and he said if you manually add and remove files (like I do) there is no way to remove these files unless you wipe your ipod clean and reload everything else you had on it.
Sorry i don't have better news. I think it's so stupid that they overlooked this and made itunes u available.
The tech guy told me that if you go on http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
and basically file a complaint, the software guys will eventually fix the problem. Hopefully enough people go on so they fix it.

ITunes, music files from external dr F to new computer dr C... problems?

I currently have a setup with an older computer and external hard drive, but will be getting a new computer in the near future. That is to say, I have not yet encountered a problem, but am anticipating one.
As it is, iTunes is installed on the old computer, and the library of songs and videos is all on the external hard drive.
I will be wanting to install iTunes on the new computer, and put the entire library on that computer as well.
I understand that moving a library between computers can be fairly simple, just as long as you keep the path the same. I expect that moving everything from C:\Program Files\iTunes on one computer to C:\Program Files\iTunes to a new computer would be quite easy. However, since the library currently points to files on drive F, the external harddrive, I am wondering if there will be a problem when I dump my library onto the new computer's drive C? If so, how can I get around this?
I'll try saying it another way;
currently, my directories are like so:
iTunes Folder - C:\Program Files\iTunes
Library - F:\iPod
and what I want, when I get a new computer:
iTunes Folder - C:\Program Files\iTunes
Library - C:\Program Files\iTunes\library

First of all, about the moving the 'program files\itunes' directly: don't do it. Install iTunes properly.
Then do this:
Copy the contents of 'iTunes Music' within My Music to the same location on the new computer.
Then connect the external drive and start up iTunes. It should appear identical to the way it did on the old computer.
Then use these directions to move them to My Music or anywhere else you want:
