Loading CD's on iTunes

I have been patiently loading my CD library into iTunes, but after loading over 1500 songs, I am worried about filling up my computers hard-drive? How do you get around storing all of your music on your computer and still have room to run other programs, etc?
Thanks for any and all help!

Well, you can compress the entire contents of your Hard Drive (at least in XP).
If you compress all of your iTunes Library in a .ZIP file, iTunes will not be able to read it (that's a bad thing).
How much space exactly do you have?
If it comes to the point where you completely run out of space, you can always buy an external hard drive, a new internal hard drive, or even a whole new computer. But it sounds like you are reasonably far away from that point.

  • I loaded more songs into Itunes. How can I move them to my IPhone?

    I loaded some CDs into Itunes and they show up in the Music folder okay. When I connect my Iphone to Itunes, I see a music folder under the IPhone icon in the left column but clicking on that shows the list of songs already on my IPhone. How do I move the new songs loaded onto the IPhone without erasing the songs already on the IPhone. I need to do a "merge" somehow. Advice please...

    You need to select the iPhone 'device' (not the Music section underneath it which just shows what is already on the device) and then select the Music tab that will appear on the right-hand side of iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    You can also just highlight the new songs in your iTunes music library, and drag-and-drop them over to the iPhone device.

  • I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.

    You sync music the same way as on the Classic. What you sync to an iPod does not effect the iTunes library on your computer.

  • HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update?  My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching.  Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

    After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library.  Music works, but no movies.  I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy.  Is there a way to roll back an update?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

    I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi skoorb1,
    When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

  • Loaded latest version of itunes now can't find device for ipod to enable dragging tunes?

    Just loaded latest version of itunes but can no longer see ipod device in left column to enable dragging tunes?

    Hello remslicer, I just did this and it seems to work, I had the exact same problem and I just read what to do on another users reponce,
    I re-set my phone
    hooked up the phone to my computer,
    let it do its syncing, 
    then I went to podcast page and un-sync and I did this with music as well, and hit apply.
    go back and re-sync and hit apply again.
    I went to the app and it started playing the podcast I have saved on my desk top.
    I  hope this works for you too. Good luck

  • I have a Mac book operating on Version 10.5.8 this won't let me down load version 10.7 itunes. Is it possible possible to down load a new operating systen to my Mac it has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor

    i have a Mac book operating on Version 10.5.8 this won't let me down load version 10.7 itunes. Is it possible possible to down load a new operating systen to my Mac it has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor & 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 2SDRAM of Memory.

    Hi Andy, yes it's a paid Upgrade...
    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

  • Just loading web page launches iTunes w/o user input/click

    Today I was looking for information on ipod scpecifications and say an article on "iPod Diagnostic Mode" appear in my search results. I was curious to learn about this and clicked through on this link:
    http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    the web page loaded, then, automatically launched iTunes and took me to the store even though I'd not clicked on any links on the page itself!!!
    What is the potential for automatic scripts run this way to do damage?
    Are these just greedy bastards trying to profit from the iTunes affiliate program? Likely...is my guess, but it roasts my marshmallows to think they would do this without me consenting/clicking anything.
    If I quit iTunes and relaunch it, is there any further association of my purchases with their underhanded "referral"?
    I went to the same site in Camino to see what would happen and nothing did...thinking I need to turn off javascript, but yet Camino had Javascripts enabled....very strange...Tried to view page source but I'm not that sophisticated...anyone know what happened and if I need to take steps to clean my computer's links, caches, etc.?

    Thank you both for the courtesy of your replies.
    I absolutely will delete there cookies, though I'm guessing if I launch iTunes in the future it will not continue to show/link to their credit.
    I was shocked that they could launch a different application, not just pop up a window withing Safari. I wonder what the potential is for exploits here...
    That is my #1 concern.
    Again. Thank you both.
    It would be a cold day in Hades before I'd buy anything from iTunes after having it open w/o my request...if they'd put a click here to link to iTunes on their page and I clicked through that'd be one thing, but that is just downright slimey!!!!
