N97 mini, deleted music files but album names stil...

Hi, I deleted all the "unsatisfactory" music that was preloaded on my e71 mini using the delete function in the music player and it said the files were deleted but it still shows the album names.
I read on these forums that this can be solved by deleting private\101FFC31 and
private\101ffca9 and refreshing the library but I cannot even locate these files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi there,
This worked for me. on N97 mini. You may have to search for the files. It works for music and podcasts. If you cant do it, you could put the music back in and delete it again.
* Firstly, connect your phone to a PC via USB.
* Choose Data Transfer (a.k.a. Mass Storage). Do not select PC Suite because you won’t be able to browse protected folders in PC Suite mode.
* Open Windows Explorer on your PC.
* Go to \private\101FFC31 on the phone’s folder.
* There, you should be able to find the mpxv1.mpd (for MP3) and pcv5.mpd (for AUDIO PODCAST)
* Goto \private\101f8857\Cache
* Goto \private\101ffca9
* In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
* Now refresh ur music library

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

HT4527 My old mac book was backed up to a Time Machine drive. That Macbook is dead. I have a new Mac Mini. How do I get the iTunes library (not just the music files but all other data...playlists, ratings, etc) on the new Mac from my Time Machine?

My old Mac died. I had it backed up to a Time Machine external drive (fortunately). I have a new Mac. I want to get my entire iTunes library from the Time Machine drive to the new Mac. I want not only the music files but all the "library" metadata, playlists, song rankings, unique genre designations. How do I do this?

No backup is a huge mistake.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

After accepting update to my time capsule, I can no longer complete a backup because there is not enough space. I tried deleting old files, but it doesn't seem to work. Any advice:

My time capsule was updated through an apple download update on June 16, and now I cannot back up my computer. The message is that there is not enough space. I tried deleting my files, but it didn't help. any suggestions?

How much space is there according to airport utility?
TM can be fussy.. Do a factory reset of the TC and give it a new name. Use short, no space and pure alphanumeric type names..
And reset TM. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Then set up TM again to the TC and see if TM will start .. the reset will not hurt the backup and TM can still find it on a renamed TC.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Delete music files from my pc

can I delete music files from my PC without having to lose them from my ipod classic. I dont see the need to clog up disc space with all the music I own on CD's so once I have them loaded onto my ipod I would like to erase them from my pc. If I then sync my ipod will it automatically delete everything that is no longer on my pc.

If you manually manage your music, you can do what you want. Check the "Manually manage music" box on the summary page in iTunes when the iPod is connected. Keep in mind that , should you ever need to restore your iPod, you may find that you'll need to re-rip all of your CDs. You may want to consider buying an external hard drive (I just picked up a terabyte drive for less than $150) and move your iTunes library there.
Best of luck.

IPod Deleting Music Files

How does one delete music files from the iPod?

Or make sure syncing is set to only sync checked items and then uncheck the songs in your library you don't want in the iPod.
Or sync only specific playlists and make sure the songs you don't want are not in any of the playlists you are syncing.
Or switch to manual updating and manually delete them from the iPod...

Deleted all my actual music files but have " backup"

Dear All, I use a mac mini and had all my physical files on an external hard drive which sits on top. I use time machine to back up muy mac mini but not being able to work out how to use that to back up an external drive I made a physical coppy of my music folder to another drive a few months agao.
Well seduced by reports of extra bits and bobs on a program called songbird I installed that and ran it. It deleted all my music. ( googling songbird deleted my songs brings up numerous distraught people who this has happened to. ) Now my artwork, library etc is still on my mac mini bit of course none are now linked to the actual song files any more ( all deleted ) . Thank god I only brought a few songs since I made a copy of all my music files. Its a large file 250GB.
Whats the best way now to get my songs back into itunes ( from my copy on an external hard drive ) with the minimum of fuss and duplicates etc? Delete all my itunes libraries art etc and start again. Something simpler?
Any feedback on hoew to use timemachine to back up an external hardrive holding my music would be appreciated.
Thanks all
Richard

Dear Jolly Giant, thanks for that everything is back to what I would call normal now.
glad i could help
After my "restore" Itunes says I have 71,638 songs taking up 406GB. Clicking on get info on my music folder it says 106,340 items 426GB. That leads me to believe that I have not imported some songs into itunes. What do you think? Any suggestions as to how to "hoover" tracks up into itunes ( if thats indeed the case that there are tracks that Itunes does not know about ) would be gratefully recieved.
Doug has an answer for almost eveything:
_*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.
Another strange ( but nice ) thing is that I brought a few tracks from itunes recently which definitly were not backed up. I am 99% sure they were lost but now seem to be working fine? Weird ?
not weird - try blind luck or +pulled a Homer+
anyhoo, might want to close this thread by marking your question answered !

How delete music files from iPad Air mini

I recently connected my new iPad to my husband's iMac trying to transfer some music files: unfortunatly iTunes automatically downloaded all the music files.
Now, how can I delete this files or many of them???
Thanks for your help.

Connect to iTunes again and un-check the songs you don't want. Then re-sync

Artist name does not appear in artist list but album name is in album list - Ipod Classic 160gb

For an album I have imported onto my iPod from iTunes, the album name is in the Album list but the Artist name is not on the Artist list. I have tried deleting the album from the iPod and re-adding from ITunes but the same result. It is a single artist album, so the artist name is exactly the same for each track; all the tracks are there. Big nuisance as I use artist name a lot to find specific albums.

this did not work for me,
Possibly because your problem (you say) was the album name. The original post was about the artist name and is therefore a different problem.
ecb31 wrote:
...I had to fill in the Album for each song, then it showed on my ipod, for ones I did ot know, I just put bloody apple.
Huh?
Let me get this right, you had lots of songs without the album name in them, so you filled in the album name yourself - if you knew the album name. If you didn't know the album name, you then entered the same text on all the rest of those songs. So now, you must have a lot of songs all on the same album, even though they're not meant to be - and - you've put text in to a lot of your songs that will remind you forevermore, of just how unhappy you are.
Well! &
My question to you is; where did you get the songs from, that they came without the correct information in them?
If you imported them from a CD, iTunes will go and get the information for you.
If you bought the songs from the iTunes Store, or another music retailer, the information is in the digital file that you purchased.
How therefore, does so much of your music appear to be incomplete?
Am I missing something, or have you simply failed to explain the porblem properly?
