Keeping itunes media folder organised slows down itunes

My itunes became very very slow indeed when I updated to version 9. I looked at self help forums and discovered that it should speed up if I unchecked "keep itunes media folder organised". I did that, and sure enough, itunes was cured.
Somebody then said that if I re-checked it, then the folder would be re-organised, and everything would be OK. I did this, and it took all night to organise my library (although it wasn't actually 'disorganised'). However itunes had just returned to being glacially slow.
So why is this happening? I can't find any cure for it, although I suppose one might have been found by now.
This is on a G4 ibook, 1.42 GHz. It ran itunes 8 with no problem at all. Leopard

I don't use the feature myself, but it works properly in a test library for me.
It could possibly be a permissions issue. Different processes in iTunes seem to make use of either the system or the user account for file actions and it is just possible that which has been used in that case has changed. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.

  • ITunes 12 - "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" feature no longer works

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I've been having.
    Since updating to iTunes 12, the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' feature no longer works. When I add media to the library, iTunes doesn't copy it to a destination within my media library. It only works if I turn the feature off, and then back on again.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I joined iTunes Match on my MBP and added our MBA to the same Match account. What should the iTunes Media Folder Location be for iTunes on the MBA?

    The iTunes libraries on both machines appear to be in sync, though I don't know if Home Sharing or iTunes Match is to thank for the consistency. But the iTunes Media Folder locations are different on the MBP and MBA, and I don't know if they should point to the same storage location (it's been on a drive connected to our Airport for years). I also don't know what options for Copying Files and Keeping iTunes Organized should be on the MBA. I certainly don't want the media files duplicated yet the devices sharing a cloud version.
    I hoped the MBA would act like an iOS device using iTunes Match in that music would stream unless downloaded. Then downloaded music would have to be managed (deleted from the MBA's iTunes) for space reasons at some regular intervals-- just like we now do on the iPhones and iPad. The library entry for the song would remain... just the locally stored file would be deleted and the iCloud download would change back to the download symbol.
    But if a purchase is made from the iTunes store on the MBA, the file is stored on the local MBA machine as well as the external drive because the MBP receives the song via Home Sharing and downloads the file.

    Each iTunes client will expect a discrete iTunes library location.  The iTunes Match service will allow the libraries to be automatically synchronised along with any IOS devices that are also registered for iTunes Match.
    Following making a secure backup for any given library it is possible, once Songs have been 'matched' or 'uploaded' to remove the local copies and play the Songs from the Cloud.  The behaviour on IOS devices is different, they will download each Song as it is played.
    Note:  Apple is very clear that the responsibility for maintaining music files remains with the user - so it remains essential to ensure that you have your own Songs secure backed up prior to relying on the Cloud.  Should there be an issue with the Cloud resulting in loss of Songs you will need your own secure backup.

  • Reverse itunes media folder reorganisation

    hello and HELP!
    i am a new mac user, and in wanting to import all my music into itunes and avoid copies being made in a separate itunes folder, in the advanced section of the preferences i changed the itunes media folder location to being my "my music" folder, un-checked "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library", and checked "keep itunes media folder organised" thinking it would just organise my music in itunes.
    however, to my great despair, itunes has re-arranged all my songs and re-named songs and folders in my "my music" folder, classing i don't know how many under "unknown", "various", etc...my great despair as i have 90GB of music which was perfectly organised by artist name and album and is now a big shambles.
    please someone tell me this re-organisation can be reversed? i've tried un-checking the "keep itunes folder organised" and re-starting itunes, but to no avail. i would greatly appreciate any advice at all.
    thanks so much

    It's the same answer for both Mac and Windows.
    Sadly, that organization can't be undone. If only you had left the "copy files..." checked as well, you could go back to the originals.
    Perfect time for an UNDO button, but there isn't one.

  • ITunes Media Folder Frustrations

    Hi,
    I hate, hate, hate the way that iTunes sorts the library for you into Artist/Album/Song. While this is useful if you have many tracks for an artist but three folders for just one song is ridiculous and results in songs that you know, being squirreled away under artists that you have no idea even existed.
    So, I have sorted my library in Windows Explorer into genres, i.e Breaks, Chillout, Orchestral etc. These folders are then sorted into artist/album if I have alot of that artists music, or if the artist only has a few songs the individual songs are left in the genre folder.
    Now to listen to my music on my computer I simply add whatever genre to Windows Media Player or VLC. However I now want to update my ipod!
    In the Edit-Preferences-Advanced section I have changed the location of my iTunes Media Folder to the external hard drive that all tracks are on. I have unselected 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library'.
    When I import songs I have been using 'Add folder to library' for each different genre. For some iTunes still creates a Artist/Album version of the songs. I think it MAY be the songs that it converts, but am not sure. Is there a way to stop iTunes doing creating Artist/Album folders and simply follow how you have set up the directory?
    Thanks!!

    If you have unchecked both "Keep..." and "Copy..." then iTunes does not move or rename the files. It leaves them where they are, and creates an iTunes library entry that points to the original location, which is what you want.
    The only exception will be if you add a WMA file. iTunes converts it to the designated format that you specified in IMporting preferences. The newly converted copy is added according to Artist/Album, which is exactly what you don't want.
    If you are using your music across platforms, you must avoid WMA. The one format that is useful across almost every player program and phone is MP3. If you rip the CD in another tool, make sure you set it for MP3. You can add the MP3s to iTunes and keep your own folder structure, as I described above.

  • Moving a shared iTunes Media Folder to another hard drive

    For many years our family has been sharing our iTunes media on a single computer. Currently there are 3 of us. We each have our own iTunes Library in our ~/Music/iTunes folders, but all the shared media is in /Users/Shared/Music.
    We have outgrown the current internal hard drive, and I now have a big external drive ready to go, but I can't figure out how to move the media files without the need for 2 out of the 3 of us to rebuild our iTunes library from scratch.
    I tried first using the technique described in many different articles of having the first user change the media folder location preference and then use "Consolidate library" to actually move the media files to the new location. But then when I do the same for the second user, it makes a second copy of every file in the new location.
    Is there a way to get the second user to simply update the locations of all the files in the Library, and not make copies?
    Alternately, is there a way to rebuild the 2nd and 3rd users Libraries, but to keep the existing playlists working. The need to recreate these playlists is the main task that we are trying to avoid.
    Thanks in advance,
    -steve

    If your library files are on the current external drive, with the media folder inside the main library folder, then simply copy this folder to the new drive and use the hold option/shift when starting iTunes method to open the library in its new location.
    If your media folder is on the external but the library files are on the internal drive then start by copying the contents of your iTunes folder, *iTunes Library, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel, Album Artwork* folder etc. to the parent folder of the media folder on the external. (You can leave the .xml file behind, it will have a slightly different name in the new location and will be recreated automatically.) Use the option-launch-iTunes method above to open the library on the external drive. Make sure it all works properly then close it and proceed as outlined in the first paragraph.
    iTunes uses the folder name for the folder holding the *iTunes Library* file as the window title, so you may get odd results if your library files are now in the root of the drive. As long as the media folder is stored as a sub- folder of the library folder you can move everything to a new folder or path and use the option-launch-iTunes method. E.g. if your media was at *\iTunes Media* then move the libray files to the root folder \ - open, test and close iTunes - create a folder called iTunes - move the libray files, Album Artwork and iTunes Media folder into the new iTunes folder then open the library in the new location.

  • ITunes Media Folder won't switch location from external hard drive

    So for the last few years I've had my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive (a LaCie Quadra), but I'm out of space, so I got a new one (a Lacie Rugged). However, when I go to change the iTunes Media folder location to the new iTunes folder in my Rugged, it's not switching over, and in fact what's even weirder is I've just discovered no matter where I set the iTunes Media folder location to, my iTunes library will only play from the iTunes folder in my old Quadra. I've Reset it numerous times, and even set the location to the Desktop (on which I have no music), yet it still is playing from my Quadra. It's as if it's locked onto it.
    Does anyone know what's going on here and how to fix it? I should note I think I did get it to switch to my Rugged for a bit, as the first time I switched the iTunes Media to my Rugged (which at the same time my Quadra was still connected) I bought a song, which is no where to be found on my Quadra. But ever since I disconnected the Quadra, this problem started. Also, to transfer my files from my Quadra to the Rugged, I connected the Quadra via Firewire 800 and the Rugged via USB, and I intend to use Firewire with my Rugged from now on. Could that affect what's going wrong here? And FYI, every time I've connected to the Rugged, it does go through the Consolidate Files process, but that hasn't done anything.
    Thanks

    Do you only have media on the external (which by the way is not a "library" because it is lacking many parts of a complete library), or do you have a complete iTunes folder with library files and support folders (a true library)? 
    If only media and you have both drives connected you need consolidate/organize media from one drive to the other.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507 - more information at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22026652#22026652 - and steps 5-8 in https://discussions.apple.com/message/24491967#24491967
    If you have your entire library on the external drive, copy the iTunes folder from one drive to the other.  Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the relocated iTunes folder on the new drive.

  • ITunes not displaying current files in iTunes Media folder

    My iTunes Media folder with all the Music and Applications are there but iTunes does not show all these files
    E.g. My iTunes Media folder has 50 albums
    iTunes only displays 20 albums.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unlike Windows Media Player, iTunes doesn't automatically scan your media folders for new/changed files.
    *Adding new items/removing orphans*
    Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slower at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although for small numbers of files doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
    You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
    .mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .epub .pdf
    Note the last 7 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

  • ITunes 12.1.0.71 broke "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option

    After upgrading to iTunes 12.1.0.71 (64 bit) on my PC, iTunes is no longer organizing my iTunes media folder.
    Example:
    I drop a video into "automatically add to iTunes" folder
    Video appears as a Home Video in iTunes as expected
    I go into "get info" > Options for the video and set the Media Kind to "Movie"
    Video now appears in the Movie lists, however(!)
    iTunes does NOT move the file out of iTunes/Home Videos into iTunes/Movies on my hard drive like it used to
    So now I have Movies piling up in the "Home Video" folder instead of getting auto-sorted correctly. The "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option I have enabled in preferences is, obviously, not working.
    This is happening for "TV Shows" as well. In addition, I can no longer set disc (season) and track (episode) numbers for TV Shows so that they're renamed with the season/episode numbers in front of the episode name. There used to be a work-around where I would shift-click "Get Info" to get into the old style pane / control panel, but this no longer works. I can't figure out how to rename files from within iTunes to force the issue. If I rename the files by hand before importing into iTunes, iTunes erases the disc/track numbers off the front of the filenames.
    Does anyone know what's wrong? Why are my videos not auto-sorting into the correct folder / sub-folder hierarchy on my hard drive? Why is everything piling up in my "Home Video" folder even though iTunes has been told that they are NOT home videos? Help!

    iTunes 12.0 had an issue with not moving video files around after tag/media kind changes. That seems unchanged. A workaround is to uncheck the Keep organized option, click OK, then set it active again.
    The iTunes 12.1 version of Get Info appears, at first glance, to include all of the properties that were only available in the old school get info dialog in the previous version. Also gone are the Add Field button for optionally enabled fields, and the autocomplete on space bug. The old dialog doesn't seem to be available from any keyboard combination, although I quite possibly haven't tried everything.

    Thanks C F McBlob but I recursively changed the permissions of my Music directory meaning every file and directory beneath it, as well as the directory itself, had the write permissions added.
    I used "chmod -R u+w ./Music" and chmod -R g+w ./Music" to do it.
    Alas, no cigar. :-(

  • How do I find out if Keep Itunes Media Folder Organized option is enabled programtically

    How do I find out if Keep Itunes Media Folder Organized option is enabled on Windows. My Java application needs to know this because it effects how it should interact with iTunes and last time I looked the api provided by the iTunes.dll doesnt provide this information.
    I have made some progress looking at iTunesPrefs.xml which stores preferences in a binary plist format and have mananged to extract the location of the iTunes xml file using a Java library called dd-plist
    public File getITunesXMLFile()
            System.getProperties().list(System.out);
            String homedir = System.getProperty("user.home");
            File prefsFile = new File(homedir,"AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/iTunes/iTunesPrefs.xml");
            File xmlFile;
            try
                NSDictionary rootDict = (NSDictionary) PropertyListParser.parse(prefsFile);
                NSDictionary userPrefs = (NSDictionary) rootDict.objectForKey("User Preferences");
                if(userPrefs!=null)
                    NSData iTunesLocation = (NSData) userPrefs.objectForKey("iTunes Library XML Location:1");
                    if(iTunesLocation!=null)
                        String base64 = iTunesLocation.getBase64EncodedData();
                        String filepath = new String(Base64.decodeBase64(base64),"UTF-16LE");
                        xmlFile = new File(filepath);
                        System.out.println(filepath+":File Exists:"+xmlFile.exists());
                        if (xmlFile.exists())
                            return xmlFile;
            catch(Exception ex)
                ex.printStackTrace();
                //Use default then
                xmlFile = new File(homedir + "/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml");
                if (xmlFile.exists())
                    return xmlFile;
            return null;
    However the Keep Itunes Media Folder Organized option appears to be stored in the Documents:132 key with other options and this library doesnt seem able to decode the daat into a  base64encoded value. I did think I could just compare differences between the file after enabling/disabling the option in iTunes, but the results are inconclusive - sometimes after chnaging the option the preferences file doesnt seem to change.
    Is there a known hack for this ?

    Thanks that certainly a possible workaround that I can see working but Im not that keen on using a users file as a test file, or adding a file myself that I have to keep deleting.
    The thing is I'm very close, I've found a library that can read the binary xml format to some degree, and managed to decode the Xml Library File sucessfullly (but I don't need to this as available as the in the COM lib anyway as itunes.getLibraryXMLPath())
    but I cannot decode this option whihc is lumped in with others, real shame they dont provide it via the COM lib.

  • Switch to a new PC, but can't keep iPhone app folder organisation when sync with iTunes

    I have just switched to a new PC. When I connected my iPhone to it, I have chosen to "Transfer Purchase" in iTunes. Then I go to sync for the apps. I got a msseage warning me that the apps on the iPhone will be replaced by those in the iTunes library. I didn't mind for that since I have already do the "Transfer Purchase" and I won't lose any apps for this step. But I thought it would not keep the folder organisation on my iPhone and I will need to manually group all apps again if I continue the process. I have nearly 300 apps. Are there any ways to keep all the folder organisations for this case of switching PC?

    Thanks. But what I really want is to import the folder organisation from iPhone to iTunes. It is tedious to reorganise all my 300 apps again.
