    Hello johnohuk,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

  • Two user accounts one Itunes Music Folder, How do I keep the Libraries sync

    Okay let's see if I can explain my dilemma properly. My girlfriend shares my computer with me, so I gave her a seperate account to keep her stuff in. However I keep all our music on an external hard drive in the iTunes music folder. The problem is everytime I upload new music or delete something on my account/ iTunes library, It doesn't update the iTunes library on her account. Therefore I have to sign in to her account to update her library with new music or delete tracks that have been removed from the Music folder. Kinda a minor thing until you upload 5 new CD's and remove like a 100 old tracks/podcasts, then it gets to be very annoying and time consuming. So is there anything I can do to sync our libraries to the music folder when changes are made? Hope I explained that well, and thanks for your help in advance!

    As both libraries are the same you're wasting disk space, so have only one library - yours and enable sharing on it.
    You need to be looged in and iTunes running, she will enable 'look for shared libraries' in her Preferences... and your library will show up.

  • I deleted some files from my iTunes music library, how do I get them back?

    Hi there, I hope you can help.
    I have had an 80Gb iPod for a while now, but it got full, so I was deleting stuff that I didn't listen to very often from my iTunes library as I added new music. However, I kept all the music in my iTunes Music folder.
    I have now purchased a 120Gb iPod, but obviously some of my music is only in the iTunes Music folder, but NOT actually in my music library within iTunes. Is there a way to sync the entire library with the new iPod (ie. including all the albums that I deleted from my iTunes library to accommodate new ones), or will I have to manually check my entire iTunes music library against my iTunes Music folder?
    In essence, what I want to do is the opposite of consolidating my iTunes music library into my iTunes Music folder - to get all the music in my iTunes Music folder back into the library, without duplicating the stuff that's on there already. I hope that's clear...?
    Best regards,
    Matt.

    Try iTunes Folder Watch for rereading the content you deleted, assuming you only removed it from the library, not the media folder. If you deleted the tracks then restore those that remain from the recycle bin first.
    When you are finished you should have a new playlist with all the tracks that iTFW found. Rename this Exclude and then create a smart playlist called, say, iPod Music with the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude. This is the playlist you sync with your device, and any time it grows too large just find some more stuff to throw into Exclude.

    If you are letting iTunes manage library then you can't. Within iTunes you should be able to make smart playlists for each type.

  • NO RECORD of iTunes Music Card, how do I get it to work??

    I bought this Music Card along with 2 others, both of which work, but this one gives an error message reading...."no record of gift certificate or prepaid card you entered"
    I've entered the code numerous times and studied it carefully to make sure I enter the code correctly all to no avail.
    The store I bought it from refused to offer any help other than to tell me to contact iTunes, which I've done via e-mail because I can find no number to call that will allow me to talk to customer service.
    What else can I do in the meantime....or what can I do to expidite this process...in a few hours I will be unable to access any highspeed connection for the next month because I'm in Alaska and will be out of range of any such service!!!

  • ITunes music folder location

    Hello everyone. I already posted this question one year ago, without to receive a satisfactory reply: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=899085 .
    In my Music folder, near to the iTunes folder, I have other 25 folders, one for Artist.
    I only add music importing from my original music discs, or buying in iTunes Store, and I only use iTunes to listen to music.
    All this extra 25 folders are also in Music:iTunes:iTunes Music: where I have about 400 folders.
    This is the path defined in my iTunes preferences as "iTunes Music folder location". Never changed.
    So the questions: why does this folders also exists outside the iTunes Music folder location?
    After doing the menu option "Advanced > Consolidate library", can I remove them safely?

    It's hard to determine why the folders are there, without any of us having been the one sitting in front of your system and using it since the day before those folders appeared.
    However, to determine if they can be safely deleted, this is what I would do:
    Go into the iTunes application, and locate one of the files in the library that are contained within the folders you are looking to delete. Right-click on the file, and click Get Info. On the Summary tab, towards the bottom, you'll see "Where" followed by a filepath. If this filepath leads you to \My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Artist Name\ then yes, you can safely delete those folders. If the filepath leads you to the folder that you are seeking to delete, I wouldn't delete those folders (at least not yet) as it will cause iTunes to render the files unusable, saying that it can't find the original location.

  • Purchased ringtone from itunes store and it appears in music list. how do I get it over to ringtone?

    I purchased a 'ringtone' from the apple itunes store - as a ringtone, but it is showing up in my itunes library as music. How do I get it over to tones and as a ringtone on my iPhone 4s?

    I have the same problem!  Let me know if you manage to sort it out.  My iPad did the same thing but to full restore from iTunes sorted that out. Have you tried that? No such luck with my iPhone.

    Pull down File > Add to Library, navigate to the iTunes folder and click "open." This will add all the music to the new iTunes library.

  • I imported a CD audio book into iTunes 11, searching says its there, but I cannot find it. It does appear in my iTunes music folder.

    Using Audiobook builder I imported an audiobook CD into iTunes 11. I can see it in my iTunes music folder on the hard drive, searching in iTunes 11 says its there, but in either the albums or list, it does not appear. I have successfully imported many CDs using Audiobook Builder before, but with this particulary book I have this problem.
    Any ideas anyone ?

    The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • Downloading songs into itunes music folder from limewire

    I currently have songs scattered all over my computer and hard driveome from various programs and methods I have used to get music over the years. Some of the music is already in itunes and some isnt. I want to consolodate everything into my itunes music folder to make it more convenient. In an effort to do this I have switched my limewire preferences to download directly into the itunes music folder. However, when I download a song it appears in itunes only in a folder called "Limewire Tunes" but it is not present in the recently added folder or the itunes library. Does anyone know how I could remedy this?

    Of course you can always go into your preferences @
    Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    and put a check next to Keep itunes music organized and copy files to itunes music folder when adding to library.
    This way you can just add your new music to your library and it will automatically put it in your itunes folder for you all nice and neat like then you can delete the other music files from your limetunes music folder to keep you from having duplicates on your computer. Its a nice way to consolidate all your music into one easy to backup location
    Hope that helps,

  • Help With Transferring Files into iTunes Music Folder

    Last year, my computer crashed and I had no backup. I used a program called Sharepod to import all my music from my iPod onto my new computer. Now, all that tranferred music resides in C:\Program Files\Sharepod.
    The songs play just fine out of iTunes, but because I'm a little OCD I'd really like them to be in the iTunes Music folder where they belong. But I've found that when I drag the songs from the Sharepod folder to the iTunes Music folder, I then have to help iTunes "locate" each song one by one. It's very tedious.
    Is there a better way to do this?
    Many thanks!

    Yes. Once songs are in your iTunes library, do not move or rename them in Windows. If you want to get them all in one place, use the iTunes Consolidate command.

  • Moved iTunes music folder to HDD, Now iTunes Can't Find it--Help :-)

    I finally was able to get an HDD that actually mounted and now I have moved my iTunes music folder based on the instructions here: iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder. I printed them out and followed them step-by-step.
    Before moving the folder iTunes Music from my internal HD (~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) to the trash, I played random tracks with no problem. So I moved the folder to the trashcan, then emptied the trash as instructed. Went back to iTunes to play some music, and now all of my tracks have the dreaded exclamation point in the first column. When I click on a track to play it, I get the message "The song 'blah blah blah' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    Of course, I can select 'Yes' and go through the steps and locate the files on my HDD. This, however, is not an optimal process with over 2400 songs. Does anyone know what went wrong with my relocation?

    I've used that method to transfer music from one drive to another literally dozens of times and never seen it fail in the way you experienced. I'm at a loss to explain how you could have followed the instructions, successfully transfer the music to the new drive, and yet have the iTunes database still think the music should be on the original drive.
    What I can suggest are two solutions: One for it you don't care about keeping your playlists, rankings, and playcounts intact. The other for if you do care.
    Fast fix but loses the meta data: Quit iTunes. Open your home directory, find the music folder and open it. Trash everything you see in your music folder and restart iTunes. All your music and playlists will be gone. Open your new drive on the desktop, find the folder with your music, and drag it into your iTunes window. Your music will be imported into a new iTunes catalog and then you can create your playlists.
    Keeping the metadata: After quitting iTunes, move the music back to its original location by dragging the music folder(s). Unmount the new drive and play some music. Remember the songs you clicked on and showed iTunes how to find? Do those songs all over again and once you've verified the iTunes library now points to all the songs properly, delete the songs from the new drive and repeat the steps to move them again.

  • How do I move my iTunes Music folder to a new hard drive?

    I've installed a new drive in my Mac Pro. I now have to move my iTunes Music folder into the new drive and junk the old one. I know that I can use iTunes/File/Add to Library menu item to get iTunes to locate the new Music Library; however, this is going to leave me with two entries for every track, one good and one broken after I remove the old drive. I think I should junk the old library and then have iTunes rebuild it from the Add To command... what is the best way to avoid problems? Select All, move to Trash and then locate and add them back?  Expert advice appreciated.

    No, it's simpler, epecially if iTunes manages your music for you (default).
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    I'm not sure abot your model Mac but you might be able to do this with the computer in Firewire Target Disk Mode.

  • Can the path to the iTunes Music folder be locked?

    I'm trying to simplify the results of my own occasional user error.
    Can the path to the iTunes Music folder be locked?
    I have my library stored on an external drive that I keep turned off when not in use. If I accidentally start iTunes with that drive off, it recreates the original iTunes Music folder and directs itself there.
    Can that behavior be stopped? It seems like there should be a way for iTunes to send a pop up or something, rather than this automated over ride to manual settings.

    Yeah, I know I don't have an end of the world scenario here.
    But just remounting the drive doesn't do it. I have to go back into iTunes and reset the folder location. Then wait several minutes as it all reorganizes itself.
    I know just leaving the drive on is the easiest answer. It causes too much of a domestic dispute about all the blinking boxes I have running all the time. I have convinced her that the green one on the AEBS has to be on if she wants internet.
