My Media Server (Seagate NAS 220) downloads purchases to a download folder inside iTunes. How can I move
Hi
I have a really large iTunes library. Yesterday I purchased a movie from the iTunes store and couldn't find it. I located it in a download folder on my NAS inside itunes with a plist.
How do I move it to the library? I tried to copy and paste but it doesn't work.
I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
How are you achieving the above? What are your copy setting in preferences? If you are manually overriding the copy-to by holding down the option key while adding media then that won't apply when you import a playlist (as in importing the .xml). When you import a playlist like that you are essentially adding the files to the library again and it will obey the preferences setting since you can't option add them that way.
Correct on the .itl. Only iTunes itself can edit that file.
I think you need to review your basic wants/needs in doing all this. If your reason for not wanting to use the Media Folder settiing is because you do not want it to go on the internal drive, but you don't actually mind if it organizes it as long as it is on the NAS, change the Media Folder preferences setting to the NAS and let it consolidate to there. If you want to move the stuff but keep it organized in your own folder structure you may need to do it as I suggested initially. Once it is on the NAS and iTunes recognize the file locations you can do what you can only do if you manually manage music which is move it around in Finder afterward once it is on the drive and recognized to tweak location to your final wishes.

when i purchase ringtones and they download directly to the music app on iphone, how can I move them to SOUNDS in SETTINGS so I can assign to various functions please?
You would have to create the ringtones.
Google will find several way to do this.
You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer. -

the ipad'osby media pro' could not be synced because this computer is not authourised for purchased item that are on this ipad.how can i solve this proble,i've authourised it several times
Hello, osbybass.
Thank you for the question. This alert can mean that iTunes is recognizing applications on the iPad purchased by another Apple ID. If anyone in your household has an Apple ID, try authorizing the computer with their Apple ID and attempt to sync. If you are still experiencing issues, go through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Downloaded free game for my iPad 2; made several in-app purchases. The game no longer works, it's happen to all users (customers). Deleting and re-downloading refreshes the game to level 1. How can I get a refund?
You can contact iTunes and ASK for a refund. Then make make an exception to their all sale are final policy.
Refunds from the App Store or iTunes - Apple Club
In the future set the restrictions so that in-app purchases are prohibited and that a password is always required.

just bought macbook pro and want to download purchases I have already made from itunes apps but when it says downloaded can't find it. I have run a search and found it in my mac but unable to open or do anything?? Do not understand what is happening.

so how do I get the same apps for my macbook pro? or is that not possible?
Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x. -
i cant download points on whoshere .....how can i purchase ponts...........in purchasing time one error coming please contact i tune support .............please help me...............i have balance but i cant purchase ....what can i do for that...please h
Which country are you in, Indonesia or Australia ? You have to be in a country to use its store, and you can't use a credit card issued by a bank in a different country i.e. if you are in Indonesia then you can only use the Indonesian store and only use a credit card issued by an Indonesian bank.
For the message to contact iTunes Support, if you haven't already done so then you will need to do as the message says (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
I recently purchased music and a few songs only downloaded half way through, why is that and how can i fix it?
I think this is a more general problem Apple are having at the moment. I have just written in another thread:
"I am having this problem too. There have been quite a few other threads about it. It applies to single tracks too. They appear to download OK, and show as the right file size and length, but stop playing well before the end and iTunes moves on to the next track. Redownloading them helps sometimes but not always.
I have only had this problem for the last week or so. The longer the track the more likely there is to be a problem (perhaps obviously)."
I think it is the tracks themselves rather than iTunes. If you export the problematic track to the Desktop and try playing it with Quicktime it stops in just the same place. -

How can i move my purchased app from apple id in russia to ukrainean app store when i change country
I had my apple id in Russia and had a lot of purchased apps there. Recently i had to change a country of my apple id to Ukraine. So i have a question how can i move my purchased apps to apple id in Ukraine?
You have been mislead. Other users report that what you have been told by the Hack is not true. The apps will appear to have disappeared, but if you try to update an app at first the MAS will appear to be selling you the app, but if you continue, as if to buy the app, the MAS will realize that you previously purchased the app and download it for free. You can test this for yourself using a free or inexpensive app.

How can you move the objects from one server to another?
how can you move the objects from one server to another?
Hi,
Collecting objects for Transporting
1. rsa1->transport connection
2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
5. after objects collection finished, create request
6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
Releasing Transport Request
Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
Step 2: Click on Import queue button
Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
Step 4: Click on refresh button
Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro
You have two separate questions here...
To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches. -
