ITunes will not delete file (after confirming & sending to recycle bin)

Files deleted within iTunes do not disappear from my hard drive.
I answer "Are you sure you want to remove the selected podcast from your iTunes library" and select the "Remove" button.
I then answer "Do you want to move the selected podcasts to the Recycle Bin, or keep them in the iTunes Music folder?" with "Move to Recycle Bin".
Music files (mp3) occasionally delete properly but video podcasts (Geek Brief to be specific) will not delete.
Music is stored in J:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music which is slightly non-standard but seems to fit the rule of being "inside" the iTunes folder.
Any ideas? [I've seen similar but not quite the same posts where people are trying to delete files outside the iTunes folders......]

I too have this same problem with deleting video podcasts. The problem doesn't happen all the time, but probably a majority of the time. It is quite annoying as many of the video podcasts I subscribe to are in HD format so it is rather frustrating to have to manually delete them from the iTunes folder after deleting them thru iTunes, but since they take up gigs of space it is necessary to go in and clean them out every once in a while.

  • I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not  delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

    I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

    This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
    Hope this helps!

  • Itunes will not add files to Library

    Greetings.
    My iTunes will not add my recent downloads to my library.
    I have tried adding the entire folder to the library and adding each song individually with no success.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks for reading.

    I am having this problem as well, both with audio files AND video files. Very frustrating, as I just got my first iPod and want to load it up so I can play! (Not new to iTunes, though...just didn't have everything loaded into it).
    I see a lot of posts on this forum regarding this...can anyone help??

    @CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
    It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
    Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

  • Itunes will not recognize file properties

    I cannot get Itunes to recognize file properties (comments/composer etc).
    I will change a group of files that I have saved in a certain location, eg. songs from a roadtrip. I then change a certain property in those files ie composer, or comment, or something else that is included in Itunes' file information.
    Then I open I tunes, and save that folder to itunes. Itunes does not recognize the properties. I cannot do a smart list, based upon the properties saved.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    iTunes 7 is having this problem with my iPod 30GB Video. It worked at first, but the system hung while attempting to update my iPod to 1.2. After rebooting it never recognized my iPod. I've since checked my iPod out on my laptop and my work computer and it works fine at both of those. I've finished the update to 1.2 on my laptop, but it still doesn't work on my main computer.
    I've tried uninstalling iTunes, using the Windows Install Cleanup software, deleting files from temp directories, all of the stuff that the troubleshooting docs suggest on this site. None of it has gotten that computer to recognize my iPod again. I am not about to reinstall windows so what is my next option?

  • Itunes will not start and keep getting send error report to MS message

    I had a system crash and have re-built the sytem with XP Professional SP2 with all upto date patches. Symantec Norton Internet Security 2007.
    Downloaded the latest Itunes and Quicktime update on Monday evening and now every time I click on the Itunes icon, i get unable to start application and do you want to send an error report to Microsoft.
    I remember all the problems with the 6 to 7 upgrade and am hoping this is not a repeat.
    Any help appreciated.

    The quote below is from a previous thread where several people solved your same problem with the stated technique. Maybe it will work for you. Good Luck.
    iTunes 7.0.2 FIX.........Have tried all 'fixes' suggested but iTunes STILL not opening
    1. Uninstall iTunes and Quicktime.
    2. Do a search in the C:\ drive for "QuickTime". Delete EVERYTHING that pops up.
    3. Restart the computer.
    4. Install QUICKTIME ONLY
    5. THEN install iTunes......and IT WORKS.....Just remember to install Quicktime FIRST.

  • ITunes will not re-install after virus infection in Windows Vista

      Hello there!
      I hope you are having a good day today!
      My name is Austin and I hope you can assist me with a problem I am having re-installing iTunes.
      Laptop: TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5877 SYSTEM UNIT
      Model No.: PSLB0U-07K02D
      Windows Version: Windows Vista Home Premium - Service Pack 2 - 32-bit Operating System
      The laptop belongs to a friend of mine.  He contracted the MS REMOVAL TOOL virus, at which point he brought the machine to me to clean it of this virus   for him.
      Following instructions I found online, I cleaned his machine of the MS REMOVAL TOOL virus.
      Here is a list of software I used and is currently installed on his laptop:
      Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (installed and used to remove the MS REMOVAL TOOL virus)
      AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 (installed this for virus protection)
      Secunia PSI (installed this to locate and patch programs that are a security risk)
      Advanced SystemCare Free 4 (installed and used this to clean up registry errors and such)
      Here is a list of basic maintenance tasks I performed after removing the virus:
      Ran Disk Cleanup
      Ran Disk Defragmenter
      Emptied the Recycle Bin
      Updated the system drivers
      Ran Checkdisk
      Once I cleaned up his laptop and it was running fine, I gave it back to him.  He proceeded to bring it back to me the next day explaining that iTunes               wouldn't open.  I went to http://www.apple.com/itunes/ and downloaded the latest version of iTunes and proceeded to run the installer.
      I have tried several times to get the installer to run, but all I get is this error message each time:
      The older version of iTunes cannot be removed  Contact your technical support group
      After several failed attempts to get the installer to run, I went online for help.  I found this article on apple.com which addressed my exact problem:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
      Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
      I have followed these instructions EXACTLY no less than 4 separate times and continue to get the same  error message.
      I have done manual file searches in DOS using the /s switch and by using Windows Search for anything related to:
      Apple
      Quicktime
      iTunes
      Bonjour
      Apple Software Update
      Apple Mobile Device Support
      Apple Application Support
      and made sure either they were copied to my Seagate FreeAgent Go drive or deleted completely.
      I have made sure that the iPodService.exe service was NOT running.
      I have run a disk defragmenter after every time I followed those steps listed above but to no avail.
      I have disabled the AVG Free Anti-Virus protection and that did not make a difference either.
      I have used the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but iTunes does not appear in the list of programs to uninstall.
      The installer does the same thing every time.  It seems to run fine and appears to get close to the end of the installation of iTunes, then quits suddenly and   posts that error message you see above.  I am at a loss for what to do next.
      I just found another article suggesting I empty the Temp folder in Vista which I did clearing it of everything related to Apple and iTunes and tried to re-install   iTunes using the iTunesSetUp.exe installer and got the same error message listed above. HELP!
      Thank you so much for your time, assistance, and great patience in reading this long letter!
      P.S. He needed his computer for the weekend, so I won't be getting it back until next Wednesday.  I'm hoping to round up some suggestions so I can get       right to work on it when I get it back.
      I do hope you can help me.
      Thank you so much,
      Sincerely,
      - Austin

    Hey!
      Glad to hear that you and your family made it through relatively unscathed!  I think we all need to take better care of our wonderful planet, because I think we are upsetting Mother Nature! 
      I have the Windows Installer Clean-Up screen up and tried to upload a screen cap for you, but IE immediately shuts down every time I try.  So I'll have to transcribe the screen for you:
      I see the following:
    (All Users)
    (All Users) [1.2.0.10]
      Those are the top two lines.  The following lines after that are programs he has installed on the machine like Acrobat, Adobe, Autodesk Inventor, and such and they all have a name and program number in brackets.
      And I now again have the obligatory Apple programs installed and listed again:
    (All Users) Apple Application Support [1.5.1]
    (All Users) Apple Mobile Device Support [3.4.0.25]
    (All Users) Apple Software Update [2.1.2.120]
    (All Users) Bonjour [2.0.5.0]
      Please note that iTunes is NOT LISTED.
      Everything else 'appears' to be normal, I'd say.
    Take care, and I'll see you on the flipside!  According to my clock, it's 4:11am Thursday morning there!
    See ya!

  • HT1491 My password in iTunes will not work, even after changing it. It keeps showing a window to add PW. I do and it pops up again.

    My PW in iTues will not work. Even after changing it. Window pops up and ask for PW. Over and over.

    I would be worried about that - but it may turn out to be nothing.
    Since you already changed your password, you're probably OK - but I recommend looking at your purchase history to see if there's any unauthorized purchases (use iTunes on your Mac or PC to go to the itunes store, then click your account in the upper-left or upper-right corner). If there are any new purchases that you didn't make, click the button to report problem (and if they happened after you reset your password, you should immediately change your password again).
    I think sometimes when you change your password and verifiy your credit card info, it can "reset" the warnings - so it may actually have been you logging in to your own account that caused you to get the warning. But I'm not absolutely sure of that, so it's best to check your purchase history (and reset your password if necessary - but you already did that).
    I also recommend turning on "two-step verification" (but Apple makes you wait a few days after changing your password to turn that on). With "two-step verification", Apple will send you a text message with a 4-digit code the 1st time you try to buy something from a new computer - since a hacker won't have your phone, they won't be able to continue (theoretically). After the 1st time, it goes back to mostly working normally (until the 1st time you  try to purchase from another new computer, then you get another text message - so this alerts you to someone, somewhere else, trying to get into your account).

  • ITunes continues to delete files after all these years!

    Hello...
    This topic has been posted before, as the problem is several years old already, but I thought I'd take another shot at it...
    iTunes Deletes Music Files From My Hard Drive.
    How do I know? Because music that I've listened to before, that I've loaded on my iPhone (and it still is on my iPhone), that's still in various playlists, will suddenly pop up with an exclamation mark. When I go looking on the HD, those music files are very much gone. And not a whole album will disappear...just a few tracks from an album. They had to have been there at one time, right? Or else I couldn't have loaded my iPhone with them. I couldn't have put them in playlists if they hadn't been there.
    And my Time Machine backup has the files...so they had to be there long enough to get backed up!
    I've seen this problem through multiple versions of iTunes. I've seen it through multiple hard drives, and multiple OS's. Started on Tiger. Now on Snow Leopard. Everything is as up to date as possible, and always was. Heck...my Mac's even gotten a new logic board (for unrelated issues).
    Admittedly, I have a large library. Larger than some, probably not as large as others. There's over 1800 artist folders in my iTunes Music folder, with many artist folders containing multiple albums. But that's how everyone's iTunes Music folder looks! I used to keep my iTunes Music folder on a separate hard drive. I don't do that anymore. I've rebuilt the library...I don't even know how many times. 3 or 4 at least.
    Its iTunes doing this. It always has been. And its not just me. But the problem is so random, and so lacking in rhyme or reason, that Apple can't recognize a problem. But trust me...the problem very much exists.
    Has anyone here gotten anything at all by way of a solution, or even a reason for this?
    Thanks!
    -Barry

    Its not easy to make such an error. There's not actually any mechanism in iTunes to delete the source file while not deleting the track entry in the Library list. So I'd actually have to be manually deleting them in order for it to be my fault.
    Moreover, I'm meticulous about my filing, and nothing else on my Mac disappears. I've got folders on my Desktop, a Documents folder full of stuff, Pics in iPhoto...all happily there for years now. Music files is all that disappears. That makes it pretty hard to imagine that it isn't iTunes at fault.

  • ITunes will not convert file to AAC, please help.

    I have a rather large file, an audiobook to be precise. It is in .mp3 format and is approximately 8.5 hours long. I would like to convert it to AAC but iTunes does not seem to want to convert it. It seems to convert the file until the last few seconds and then stops, coming up with the error message:
    'Error occurred while converting the file "File Name". An unknown error occurred (-50).'
    As soon as I click the 'okay' button, it deletes the AAC file and I'm left with nothing. I've tried several times before and after restarting my computer and also I've converted smaller song files (3-4 minutes)successfully.
    I'm using the latest iTunes and I am using Windows Vista. I have a strong suspicion that my problem is something to do with either the file length or perhaps the file has a fault in it. However, before I take action to resolve this I would like to know if there is any possibility it is an error with my iTunes.
    Thank you for helping. =)

  • Clickbox will not open file after published

    Good morning,
    I am working on a project where we are quizzing users.  They must refer to a PDF docuemnt as part of the decision making process.  I have added a click box that allows users to click to open the PDF docuement.  Of course, when I publish it, I get the warning to make sure the files are exported.  So, I copy and paste the two files into the output folder and uploaded it to my personal sharepoint site to test.  Of course when I try to run it in a web environment, the file will not open.  I cannot figure out what else I need to do to get these files to open after publishing.  The Help file is worthless around this and I did some searches and have not found anything on the expert boards from Rod or Lilly.  I am kinda at a loss. I could upload the files to our LMS and just point to the UR but I don't like that when the location changes.
    Any thoughts?
    Eric

    What was the format of the link to the PDF that you used in your Captivate file?

  • ITunes will not play videos after 10.7.0.21 upgrade.
