My music in my documents won't go away

I've been trying to clean out all my old things, and I realized that in my My Documents folder is a My Music folder. I already have My Music in a separate place, so I got rid of it. Now my whole Itunes has been cleared of songs, and everytime I open up Itunes, a new My Music folder appears in My Documents, but I don't want it there. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Well, I have an external hard drive, called G:
On that, I have My Documents, My Music, My Videos, and My Pictures. Basically I just took all that stuff and put it on there so it wouldn't clog up my laptop. All of my songs are in My Music, and I've organized all the folders and such in that folder...and it has the .itl file in there, but when I open Itunes, it's all cleared because I got rid of the ones in the My Documents folder. Everytime I open Itunes it creates new files in the My Documents folder, but I don't want them there, and I did check my preferences and it says it's all going to the My Music folder that I have...so I don't know why it keeps doing that and how to stop it from doing it.

  • MS Word Document won't go away

    I'm using a mid-2012 11"MBA running OSX 10.8.2 and I've been having trouble with MS Word '11. It's always been a bit crash-prone, but sometimes if I'm working on a document full screen it will lock up and then cover up the main desktop instead of its own and hide everything, including the dock. Mission control, expose, and show desktop all don't work, only launchpad, but it goes right back to the document blocking everything. Quitting word will usually fix it, but it's super annoying. Anyone got a clue?

    What about what is on the previous page, do you have objects with auto wrap on that could be pushing something over to a new page?
    e.g. There could be a last paragraph return or page break on the previous page that causes a blank page after.
    Clicking on the last page and hitting delete usually clears those. You have to think in formatting terms, that is how Pages is managing the pages.

  • Documents won't go away?

    When I delete a document from Pages on my iPad an older version comes back from the Cloud. How do I delete a document from all devices and the Cloud?

    How about delete from the cloud?

  • Blank pages at end of document won't go away

    I have a couple of blank pages appended to the end of my document that I can not get rid of. Any section i drag to the end of the document is automatically appended to that section. This is really strange.
    When I View Invisibles I find nothing on the pages that would cause them to be there; no page or section breaks, no hidden content, nothing.
    Sometimes I see this kind of behavior after a table, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Any section I drag to the bottom gets appended. Here I have dragged  the single page 2 section to the bottom. Same results.

  • Old FileVault crashed my MacBook Pro, had to delete, reinstall and Time Machine restore failed. Trying to manually rebuild. No iPhoto pics, no iTunes music and NO DOCUMENTS found! Any thoughts?

    Here's the ordeal. I'm running a 2007 MacBook Pro 17 inch with Lion OS. When I converted to Lion, I didn't have enough room on my harddrive to convert to the new FileVault, so I remained on the old system. Less than a week ago I reboot my computer because iPhoto seems to be stuck on "cataloging" my photos, though after days of letting it run, it doesn't do anything. After the reboot, my computer appears as if it had been reset to factory settings with all my programs gone, etc. I'm like, hey, I've got Time Machine, I'll restore it. After the restore is run, when I go to login, I get the dreadful error message, "You are unable to log into the FileVault user "John" at this time. Logging into the account failed because an error occurred". I searched the internet via my iPhone for suggestions and followed everyone of them, all the way down to erasing my harddrive and reinstalling Lion. So I get back into my computer and think I'm golden. I go to restore my computer via Time Machine and wham....I'm right back to that error message. I think, ok, I'll do it again. This time it messes us even more, giving me two login screens, one for the new Lion like before I restored the computer and then a second, as if it were restored, but unable to login. On top of that, I couldn't get back to the Command-R page! I thought I was really screwed! Well, I finally figured a way back, or maybe it was just that it finally decided to cooperate, I don't know, but I erased my harddrive again, and reinstalled again and thought, well, I'll rebuild manually by selecting what I want to restore from the Time Machine drive. I was able to get all my applications back and running, but to my dismay, I seemingly have lost all my iTunes music (except that which Apple has graciously setup to redownload now "thank you!) plus all my iPhoto's and even worse, all my DOCUMENTS!!!! Here I thought Time Machine from backing all this stuff up, but with over a years worth of back-ups I cannot locate any photos, music, or my documents on my drive to extract! Needless to say, I will never be using Time Machine again to back up my computer, I'll find another program or at least do it all manually. But my question is: am I looking in the wrong places for this files? Are they hidden under some unknowning folder that doesn't list it as music, photos or files? I can manage with the music, I can live with the photos because my wife has many of them on her computer and I have many uploaded to Facebook, but my files! My documents, thousands of them, many with information I won't be able to compile again, seemingly gone unless someone out there has any ideas?!!!
    I even had iPhoto search the drive for photos and after hours of the barber shop pole spinning I cancelled the command for I figured it wasn't going to find anything.
    If anyone has any suggestions, or if Apple, you are reading this and can provide some direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
    That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
    ... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
    If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
    Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

  • Is it possible to reserve a space on the time capsule to use to share files like; music, pictures, or documents?

    There are 4 Mac's in my house and I'd like to back up all of them to a time capsule, i know it is possible to do this. however i would also like to be able to dump files like; music, pictures, and documents onto the time capsule so that the others mac will be able to access these files when they want to. This will stop the need for me leaving my mac on whilst other macs access my hard drive, or passing USB sticks around the house.

    With an ordinary disk you can partition it with Disk Utility to reserve space for various things. With the Time Capsule you cannot partition it because Disk Utility doesn't work on networked drives and AirPort Utility can only format an entire Time Capsule, not paritition it.
    You can simply store the files you want to share on the Time Capsule and turn on file sharing, and it will do what you want. The only downside is that because you can't reserve space, eventually the Time Machine backup(s) on it will reduce the amount of available space to zero. This would eventually happen anyway whether you store your files on there or not, and then Time Machine starts deleting the oldest backups, but if you store your files on there and space goes to zero people won't be able to add files.
    I'm not sure about the "not powered" part. For many months I stored an iTunes library and music on a USB hard drive that was powered off the Time Capsule USB port. Of course, I did this so that the music would be accessible anywhere in the home. I swear that the external drive never used its own power cable. It was a portable bus-powered USB enclosure with a laptop-sized drive in it, though, so it normally does not require a power cable. If the files you need to share aren't too large, you might think about plugging in a USB stick drive which would be very compact, needs little power, inexpensive, and has no moving parts to break or heat up.

  • I purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    i purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

    My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

    In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

    Hello ryane84
    There really is not a faster way to link the songs. You could get the info on the missing songs to see where they sit on your computer and just move the files there before. Then you can organize your library to move them in the iTunes library folder or another place of your choosing. To keep it form happening again, the article does have a section on what to do to keep it organized when new media is added.

  • How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

  • Word documents won't open in Lion

  • Documents won't download completely from web site

    Documents attempting to download from my insurer's website won't complete. Document loads partially in the Adobe window that opens, but a circular stats bar opens in the second page and the document won't finish.

    The documents in question are my monthly insurance statement from USAA. I have always been able to download them before with no difficulty. I installed the latest update to Adobe Acrobat Reader, but still no luck. The document appeared only partially, but froze. I assumed the document from USAA was corrupted until I logged in using Google Chrome and the problem disappeared. Probably will use that browser going forward unless I can hear something that explains this.
    Thanks for the offered assistance.

  • Itunes playlistless music won't go away

    Hello,
    Recently I switched the itunes I used to sync from Windows (Bootcamp) to OSX. I noticed in my library there was two of each song on my iphone (and my wife's ipod) So, I deleted all the music (by syncing no playlists) and looked at my phone and saw something peculiar: no playlists were on the phone but my entire music library was still there!
    I can play the songs and they are taking up space on the iphone. I tried re-syncing with the old iTunes on Windows with no playlists and even though I pressed "erase and sync," the songs are still there.
    So, basically there are songs on my iphone with no playlist that won't go away.
    Note: I AM able to delete them manually by swiping the song and pressing delete, but I have 400+ songs! Not to mention three devices (iPhone, iPod, and iPad).
    I was not able to find anyone with this problem on google. It's difficult to phrase this problem well.
    Anyone else experienced this?
    Thank you.

    An older post said to login to your account within itunes; go to account information; then disable icloud and ping. Since I'm also on 10.6.8 there is no "disable iCloud" option. So this is what I did (and it worked) - from the Account page within iTunes Store (must be logged in):
    1. Ping was already disabled/off
    2. In the iTunes match section, I clicked "Learn More" then clicked "No thanks". Effectively turning off Match (it gets removed from the sidebar).
    3. Under "Settings" I turned off "Recommendations and Ping Postings".
    I don't know which step - #2 or #3 actually made that login prompt no longer appear, but it doesn't so I'm happy.
    Also, I had already disabled "Download updates automatically" in system preferences (and that didn't fix the iTunes problem). Note that I had that disabled that before I updated to 10.6.8 and the 10.6.8 re-enabled it. Not related, just mentioning in case that box needs to be unchecked too.
    Other things you can try are in this Reset Warnings tip in this iTunes Windows thread (I didn't try it since the above worked for me):
