Music in itunes music folder that doesn't show in tunes?

I have downloaded music and put it in my itunes music folder, but it doesn't automatically show in itunes application until I double click the selected track whilst in the itunes music folder. Is it possible to have the itunes automatically display all music when it is put into the itunes music folder?

  • When trying to upload a MS word file (.docx) to gmail, it uploads into a folder that doesn't contain the original document when i try to download it from e-mail.  how do i solve this?

    when trying to upload a MS word file (.docx) to gmail, it uploads as a 'folder' that doesn't contain the original document when i try to download it back from the e-mail.  how do i set the format to simply upload the document itself???  Thanks...

    Yes, excuse me. attach a file.  I have separate folders on my desktop to organize my word documents, so I'm guessing this might be a part of the problem.  When I go to attach one of these documents into gmail, the resulting attachment is another folder icon (not the original organizational folders) with 4 subfolders containing a slew of .xml files reading things like "header.xml" "format.xml" "settings.xml" "style.xml" "contenttype.xml" There are also a few .jpegs and a small folder reading "word" as one of the subfolders.

  • I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

    I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

    Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
    Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
    Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

  • HI my mac is low on memory and i want to erase some apps that i don't use in the iTunes media folder that i have already eraed from itunes

    HI my mac is low on memory and i want to erase some apps that i don't use in the iTunes media folder that i have already eraed from itunes
    how do i erase them without going one by one checking names???

    There is no way to automatically select the unused apps.  But, you can go go through your apps library and hold the command key as you select each app you want to delete to get them all at once.

  • My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder

    My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal.  Any ideas?  I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong!  I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
    Thanks!

    The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
    Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
    Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar.  I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

  • ITunes' Taskbar-playing mode doesn't show itself if ObjectBar Installed

    iTunes' Taskbar-playing mode doesn't show itself if ObjectBar Installed and disabled. Stardock said that iTunes doesn't recognize Objectbar when I tell the Stardock support. The iTunes menu bar in ObjectBar won't appear unless you are using it with iTunes Multi-pluggin. Even with this pluggin. iTunes doesn't shrink into the taskbar as taskbar-playing mode. Stardock said that this feature won't be available unless Apple can recognize ObjectBar as a valid taskbar replacement.

    This is the message that I composed to Stardock Support about iTunes' compatibility on ObjectBar:
    Why ObjectBar disables iTunes taskbar-playing mode? when i install ObjectBar and I have already installed iTunes on my Windows XP PC with taskbar-playing mode enabled, I can't shrink the iTunes window into the taskbar-playing mode.
    And Stardock Support Replied at me:
    Hello Harry,
    ObjectBar doesn't disable this feature specifically. ObjectBar hides the Taskbar to reduce redundancy, but iTunes had likely been written to hardcode the taskbar-playing mode into the Windows taskbar and doesn't recognize ObjectBar.
    Unfortunately this feature will not be available unless Apple can recognize ObjectBar as a valid taskbar replacement.
    But I'm already tell these problems to Apple.

  • Is there a way to "force-mount" an external drive that doesn't show up on it's own when plugged in with firewire?

    Hi, is there a way to "force-mount" an external drive that doesn't show up on the desktop? I have a new Hitachi SATA III 2 TB Ultrastar that won't show up like all the other drives when plugged in. So I can't partition, repair, format etc with Disk Utility, Disk Drill, Tech Tools etc. How do I make it visible?

  • Moving an iTunes Music folder that's outside of iTunes (Library) folder

    My music is stored on my external hard-drive, but the iTunes folder (with the library and .xml file) is in my user "Music" folder on the main HD. I want to store more things on the external to make room on my HD, but I want to make some folders to keep the music separate first. But doing so will change the pathway. Is there a way of doing this change without losing all the track information (especially album art...that took me a LONG time to finish, I have a lot of music) ?
    I guess an alternative question is...will putting other files in the same path as my music directory on my external affect iTunes in any way? Do I need to make more folders to separate the iTunes music from the non-iTunes music? Or can I lump them together as long as iTunes knows where that folder is? If this is the case, I would still like to know if the former is possible. I want it to be nice, neat, and organized : ).

    Not sure if this helps your issue, but what I would do is close iTunes, then copy the entire iTunes folder to the external hard drive. Then you can use these instructions to open the library at its new location...
    How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
    Now everything is on the external. Assuming you were successful in opening it at the external location, you can now delete or reduce in size the version on your internal drive. iTunes should still be able to access the stuff that was originally in the iTunes folder as well as the stuff in other folders outside the iTunes folder on your external drive.
    Since everything is now on the same drive, you could use the consolidate command to move everything together into the iTunes folder. However this will move them and sort them the way iTunes wants to organize things, so if you have a different method of organization, this will mess it up.

  • How do I remove song files from my iTunes Music Folder that are deleted?

    Hi,
    When I deleted unwanted songs from my iTunes Library I selected the option to Keep Files instead of Moving Song to the Recycle Bin. As a result I've now got a load of unwanted music files clogging up my music folders.
    So how can I identify music files that are in my iTunes Music Folders but have been deleted from the iTunes Library and then remove them from my hard drive?
    Cheers,
    Andy.

    Here's a thought, have you added any new items to your library recently?
    If you add your iTunes music folder to your library, anything not already in your library will be added.
    Now go to your library view and make sure you have the date added column visible. (Right click in the header row to get a list of columns that can be selcted).
    Now sort by date added and everying you just added will be together and can be easily identified for deletion.
    Note this only applies if files are in the iTunes Music folder, files in other places have to be deleted in Windows Explorer.
    PS iT is usually a good idea to make a copy of iTunes Library.itl before experimenting. Copy it from your iTunes folder to somewhere else.

  • Adding songs, they copy to iTunes music folder, but don't show up in my lib

    Hi,
    I recently built a new computer, and wanted to put my music on it from my external hard drive, which contained my "iTunes Music Folder" from my old computer. However, when I add music from my external hard drive to my new computer's hard drive, it says it's copying it to the iTunes Music Folder (on my new comp), and says that it's "Analyzing Gapless Playback" and the like, but the only problem is, the music doesn't show up on my Library! And I've looked, all the music copied to the new iTunes Music Folder, but my library (in the iTunes program itself) remains a blank list! Does anyone know what the problem is, and what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    I have a Dell that's running Windows XP. I have found that itunes is very temperamental. this works most of the time... except on my son's computer that's running Windows Vista.
    Go to your library in iTunes. Then go up to file and try one of the options (import, add folder to library, or add file to library).
    Adding a folder is the least work. You can add all the files from a folder with one click... if it works. Remember that itunes is temperamental.
    If that doesn't work, try adding a file. The problem with that is that you have to go through the whole process for each and every file (song, movie, etc).
    Sometimes the only thing that works is to import.
    I haven't gotten iTunes to work on my son's computer (Windows Vista).
    I can't get support from apple in any way at all! They are good about creating electronics that appeal to us But they are lousy at support. If anyone figures out how to access support (where you can actually contact Apple) please let me know ([email protected]). I've been trying for 6 months.

  • Looking for a music app that doesn't stop playing music when album over

    Back in the 90s, I had a 5 disc CD player.  When one album was done, it would move to the next album. 
    With iTunes, one album was done, the next album would start playing.
    With iPhone, one abum is done, music stops playing. 
    I don't understand the logic behind the iPhone music app.  This is especially bad for when I'm driving. 
    I'm looking for a type of Music app that either:
    1)  Allows me to swipe to next/previous album as well as next/previous track.  (maybe  a swipe up/down command)?
    or
    2)  Allows me to display all songs, but sorted by Artist or album (that way I automatically have one long
    or
    3) Will automatically advance to the next album when the current one is done.

    Bob, I have the guide, just didn't think of the playlist angle.  I was looking for  the genre/Siri thing.  But hey, making a playlist worked.
    Demo, yes Siri works now that I've made a playlist and say "playlist"  And I'm satisfied with the fix.
    But you'd think apple could make playing music more convenient.  I took off all my music and retagged it, leaving all info blank (ie: albums and artists etc) and leaving only genre because it's so difficult to get it play a genre.  I'd pick a genre, start with a  song and it would play only songs from a single album.  I've read of some odd fixes for this and a couple of them worked...sometimes!  (If you stand on one leg and whistle Dixie kind of things)  Ridiculous! 
    By eliminating all tag info except genre I fixed that issue and can now play by genre.
    But as of now Siri still won't play Gospel music by my asking, she still replaces my spoken "Gospel" with her "Christian & Gospel" which like I said doesn't exist.  And correcting Siri doesn't work.  All my music falls into 3 genres, 2 of them Siri handles perfectly, Gospel she messes up.
    Bottom line - I shouldn't have had to make a playlist, or played with the tagging of my music.  Apple says you can play your music by genre, and it should be simple to do so.

  • How do I delete a movie off my iPhone that doesn't show up in iTunes?

    I purchased this movie on iTunes at least 3 years ago, and both my brother and I recall deleting it. It doesn't show up in my iTunes (therefore I can't sync it on or off), nor my brother's. And I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 7 a couple of days ago, and I just realised now that I have this movie on my phone, of which no one knows where it has come from. how do I delete it and where would it have come from if it's not on my computer?
    P.S. I only sync my phone on my Mac OS X.

    .  Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
    that can sometimes happen, when trying to update the software failed. Then partially downloaded updates will take up a lot of space. Photos synced to iDevices can only be removed by syncing again.
    If syncing again with just one small album with a single photo selected will not remove the synced albums, back up the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to factory settings:
          iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Restoring should get rid of the "other" and the synced albums.

  • Problem with applications that doesn't show even if installed and to uninstall some that work wrong

    Hi there!
    Problem #1: I've been having problems with my Windguru application in my Iphone. From sometime onwards, it is not showing the forecasted wind, etc after I open it. Tried to uninstall and install again but the problem continues. Seems like there is something sticking in my iphone that is preventing the app to work correctly after uninstalled. Is there something "Windows like" to clean all remains of an application?
    Problem #2 and somehow related: I installed Netflix app in my Iphone as a trial and went ok. Then, logically, tried in my Ipad but something went wrong. The App is installed but doesn't show anyplace. In App store it shows as installed, in General Settings it shows in the list of applications, but no Icon!
    Then I tried to uninstall from Itunes and the same thing continued happening. Worse, then I tried to install from Itunes, SAW the icon with the progress bar being installed in the Ipad and suddenly it dissapeared!!
    Anyone can help?
    Thanks in advance.

    I can't solve your problem, but I can help you work around it by downgrading if nobody else can figure it out.
    You can find old packages here at the Arch Rollback Machine project repo someone thankfully keeps running,
    http://arm.nrk.cc/
    Just go to 'core' and get the package(s) you need and downgrade. There is also a thread on here somewhere about setting up pacman.conf to point to a specific date with ARM if you don't want to get individual stuff manually, but just doing it individually would probably be easier, as I don't expect the kernel has too many other things you need
