Holy smokes my external drive/itunes is driving me crazy!

I followed the directions from the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748
Before deleting the itunes library from my ibook I thought I would double check to make sure the music was sucessfully on the external drive (I had lost some music before) - NONE of the music was there.
I do have a large itunes library already on the external drive and I had assumed that the music files from the ibook would be consolidated into that - they weren't!
What am I doing wrong? I have not updated to itunes 7 b/c my start-up disk is full and I cannot, that is why I am desperate to move the ibook library over to the external drive...
Also, how can i keep itunes from downloading songs onto my ibook? I would prefer that all my new music makes it onto the external so that I do not have to move the music!
Thanks so much!

Hi Wesley. After you changed your library in the preferences (Preferences>Advanced>General), did you use the "consolidate library" command under the Advanced menu? If you did, iTunes should have put all of your music onto your external drive.
The problem, as was already noted above, is that if you start up your computer without the external drive attached, iTunes will "guess" your library to be its default, which will be in Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. It will do this without asking you, and it won't change back to your external drive unless you
A) Reset the preferences to the external drive again (Preferences>Advanced>General and choose your iTunes music folder on your external drive
and
B) Consolidate your library again (Advanced>Consolidate Library)
And then, from the sounds of it, you will want to go back into your internal HD, under Music>iTunes>iTunes Music, and drag all those files to the Trash. I say this because you mentioned the lack of space on your internal HD.
Not sure if you've already done this. If you have, well then I'm not sure what the problem is, but hopefully another knowledgeable soul on these discussion boards will be able to help.

My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song. It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white. It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

When I download music into Itunes and move songs into playlists, Itunes has twice randomly deleted all recently added songs from the playlists they have been added to. It is driving me crazy. Has anyone else had this problem?

When I download music into Itunes on my PC, every song is transferred into a specific playlist. Twice now when I have opened up Itunes, all the recent songs that have been moved into playlists have been deleted by Itunes. I now have to go back and figure out which songs are missing and re-add them. It is driving me crazy. I have 10,000 songs and now have no idea which ones are missing and which ones have been retained.
Please help. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi TRuss08,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like songs are missing from iTunes on your PC, and need to be re-added. I know that can be a frustrating situation.
The tips in this article may help the process go a little smoother:

If no change after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

Help!Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

I understand why you would think that, but logically it doesn't make sense. I can read and write to the ipod with windows explorer with no problems, so the flash drive seems to be ok. I can also load, read and play songs through Itunes 6 on the computer with no problems. The problems start in Itunes 7 and when the ipod is used as an ipod alone....not a drive. The diagnostic windows tell me the drive is fine and the battery is ok (just a little low on voltage) but hubby says not enough to worry about. If anything was wrong with the hardware I wouldn't be able to use it as a drive would I? Its almost as though the thing is "stuck" on the boot up window of "use Itunes to restore". I even tried to load rockbox. The software all loaded but I still got the itunes restore window on startup and thats as far as I can go. Another thing I noticed recently is I can't seem to turn the ipod off! I can reset it but it just "reboots". After the restore notice about 10 seconds later the whole screen will blank out. Also when I plug the ipod directly to the wall to charge, I also get the apple...then the itunes restore notice...but never a battery charge icon (like my classic 20gb)...is this normal? This nano was given to me - (Also, this is a first generation, but I posted in the second generation thread) Would a repartition work?

Help the dinging is driving me crazy!

I have an iPad and iPod touch and I downloaded the new iTunes version, updated, all that with no problem, but now both my iPad and iPod keep making this dinging sound every 15 minutes or so, even when they are off. I think it's the same sound when you check your email and new email gets downloader. It's driving me crazy, does anyone know how to remedy this? I turned off the notifications in settings, but that didn't help. Thanks for any answers to this.

Try setting both Push and Fetch to Manual, even in the Advanced tab.

Exclamation marks driving me crazy? 9-1-1

I just purchased a refurbed 4gb Nano. All my music is either saved to "Desktop" or "MyMusic" and then individually transfer each album folder to itunes.
Now I seem to get a lot of "exclamation" marks beside many songs??
Anybody know why this is happening and how to correct this nuissance? It really is driving me crazy.
On a side note Itunes was installed to default locations/settings. Thus in the preferences MyMusic/itunes/itunesmusic
Where do all the files need to be stored?
Thanks in advance.

I can't give you a definitive answer but I had a problem relating to exclamation marks, where songs that were in my library had been either accidentally moved or deleted showed the symbol.
From my experience, you should decide where you want your music files to be and stick to it. It may be that your computer is getting confused because you have two lots of files and that at one time, the library remembered you having songs that were in one location but have now been transferred to another.
Make sure that in preferences, you have the Advanced/General tab settings ticked for Keep iTunes Music folder organised and for Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library.
Import songs using iTunes directly (which is what it sounds like you've been doing) by dragging folders into it. Keep tabs on what folders you have and have not imported. You can check the folders in the iTunes Music folder to see if they are appearing properly but don't move them.
I actually lost music because I had multiple sources which got the programme all confused when I tried to move my music location. If you want to change the location of your files, USE THE HELP! I learned to my cost that I did it the wrong way!
I'm sorry if none of that helps. Good luck!

Static interference thru speakers driving me crazy

I am using the airport express with klipsh speakers for my sound. there is a mexican radio station that is playing at a very low but very annoying level thru the speakers. I have a 2.4 cordless phone on my desk as well as a printer plugged into the AX. I unplugged the phone and it is not coming from there. I restarted the AX as well as the modem and it's still there. The only way it stops is when I unplug the speakers. So the speakers themselves are somehow picking up this interference it looks like. Any suggestions? It's driving me crazy.

I wrote to the speaker company:
I am getting terrible radio/static
interference on my Klipsch computer speakers. I
have them plugged directly into my MAC laptop and
have an almost full signal from a mexican radio
station. I tried unplugging the modem, unplugging
the printer, moving the speakers, etc. All to no
avail. It makes it unbearable to use my speakers
unless turned way up. What can be done??? Thanks -
They wrote back:
I am very sorry to hear of your problem. Try
plugging the speakers into another source other
than your computer, eg. CD player, MP3 etc. and
see if the static problem follows the speakers.
Let me know what you find.
When replyling to this e-mail please include
original and all replies.

I wrote back again:
I plugged the speakers directly into an iPod and the static is not there. But if plug into the Mac laptop right next to it, the radio interference is there. I closed iTunes and it is still there.
and now....
INTERESTING that there is no radio static from the iPod, but my silver Powerbook G4 sends out the static the second it is plugged in. Any suggestions now? I am still waiting fro there reply. I'll keep ya'll posted.
