Navigating the song list in iTunes - sleeting songs with keyboard

Hi,
i try to manually organize my itunes library and therefore want to select multiple songs in list view.
I know i can command+click in the list to select multiple songs (list entries) but i try to do it with the keyboard.
I can navigate the list using up and down cursor keys and it is possible to select some songs using the shift key (some songs in a row).
But how can i go through the list and just select some songs out of the list i am scrolling through?
I am searching for something like ctrl+space on windows when navigating trough lists using the cursor keys ...
Thanks,
Michael

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

Whenever I go to preview a song in itunes, the song with play out for about 10 seconds and then stop. Why isn't the song previews working? How can I fix this? I tried updating my itunes and it didn't work.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After I have deleted a file from my iphone, it still shows the song with a download button? Is there a way to get rid of this totally, so it doesn't show at all?

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

Where is the "source list" within iTunes?

I am completely new to iTunes & iPod, and am having serious trouble just trying to figure out the basics. I believe that either something is wrong with my USB port or something may be wrong with the iPod Nano, but cannot say for sure. Ultimately, I need to know what/where is the Source List on iTunes. I have the most recent version of iTunes downloaded & installed.
Thanks,
ImaHousemouse

Prior to iTunes 12 the sources list used to appear above all other playlists in the sidebar. The sidebar could be turned on or off with Ctrl+S. The source list is now a row of icons. Press the ellipsis button (highlighted) then use the checkboxes to show or hide sources. Press the Playlists button when viewing a source to display the playlists sidebar.

I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? Thanks!

I cannot see the Source List in iTunes. How do I get it back? I am trying to eject my ipod classic, and there is no option to do so, because I cannot see the ipod, let alone the source list in itunes. I'm also unable to restore my ipod, and I get a message saying it is corrupt,and now I can't even eject it! What do I do?!? Thanks!

Hello twangchick,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
You can use the steps in this article to view the device list in iTunes and eject your iPod. The steps are slightly different for the different version of iTunes:
Locate and view your connected iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
I know it can be frustrating to have a device that isn't working as it should, and this link may also help with restoring your iPod classic:
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If your iPod can't be restored normally, try placing it into Disk Mode. See the instructions under "iPod devices with a Click Wheel" in this article:

Sincerely,
Jeremy

Location of "the source list" in iTunes

where is "the source list" in itunes so that I can manually manage my classic ipod

Devices doesn't show permanently in the source list. It is only visible when an external source such as your iPod or a CD is connected to your computer and has been recognised by iTunes: iPod 101: iTunes Initiation

Just to go over changing to manual again, you connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in the source list it appears under the heading of Devices. When you click on it's icon the preference tabs are displayed in the main pane to the right. In the iPod Summary tab is the "Manually manage music and videos" check box. You check the box and click Apply:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

HT1947 where is the devices list on itunes?

where is the devices list on itunes?

How did you (Sir WLC, first reply) get that list to appear?
I have used iTunes to download a bunch of podcasts. They show up in the "iTunes Media Library" folder. I cannot figure out how to persuade iTunes to move the things to the shuffle.
I have a gen3 shuffle and iTunes 11.0.1.12 running on WinXP. If i run help/diagnostics, (connectivity and sync only), all "connectivity" tests pass but the device sync test says "no iPod touch, iphone or ipad found" and "one or more tests failed". So is the "gen3 ipod shuffle" not SUPPOSED to pass (it is not a ~touch, phone, or pad)?
The shuffle (and one book file i dragged directly onto it) is visible to the Windows "file explorer", and that one book will play on the shuffle. Nonetheless, when it is plugged in to the USB port, the orange light continues to blink; it does not turn green, as the PDF for the thing suggests it will do when fully charged. Is blinking orange the expected behavior for a fully charged device?
Thanks.

I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7. When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down. What can I do? I am using a Windows 7 machine.

Hi thanks for the encouragement. It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
down. Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
them. Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

The new version of itunes has conflited with my cd/dvd drive

It seems that the new version of Itunes has conflicted with my CD/DVD drive because when I uninstalled and re installed the itunes my drive has stopped working and I now have an error code of 19 - Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) I have tried to update drivers but I am up to date, I have installed and re installed my drive this did not solve the problem. I am now at a loss as to what to do I have had a live chat with microsoft and they could not reslove it all they wanted to do was sell me another service!!! Could installing an older version of itunes solve this issue?

See TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

For a forgotten password: go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
For forgotten security questions log in at http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Password and Security' in the sidebar. There should be a link in the Security Questions section to send the answers to an email you have specified. Failing this, go to https://getsupport.apple.com click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'.

Where do I find the source list in iTunes 7

I know this sounds stupid, but I can't find the Source List! I lost my hard drive, put in a new one and reloaded iTunes, but have not reloaded all my CDs. I want to set iTunes so it will not synch up with my iPod and delete all the songs that are on the iPod, but not on iTunes. But, I see nothing labeled Source List. Where is it? Must my iPod be plugged in for it to show up -and- if it is, will I lose the music on the iPod, but not on iTunes?

You can create a smart playlist with the rule Kind is MPEG audio file.

Where is the device list on Itunes 12.0.1.26

Hi I have both my iphone and ipad connected to my MacPro but I cannot see the device list. I have read previous threads that relate to older versions of itunes and have tried their work arounds, including option cmd s. Under file there is a devices but everything is greyed out >sync>transfer purchases etc.
Also I would like to know how to group all my songs which are from the same album "Deuces Wild BB King" into one. I assume it must have something to do with the fact that they have different guest artists with each song??
Thanks

Best to post in the iTunes section to get an answer to all questions.
As for the device list, it's in the top left along with the tabs for Music/Movies etc.

I want to delete all the songs with broken links at once

I lost a file with a lot of songs on it and it can't be retrieved. How can I delete all the song titles with broken links at once without having to delete 500 songs one at a time?

One way to identify the broken links in your library is to create this set of playlists:
Lost & Found playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. They can be deleted with CTRL+A then SHIFT+DELETE.
Or use iTunes Folder Watch and enable its option to check for dead tracks on startup.
If you have any Apple devices that could hold the lost media see this user tip.
Finally, while I'm handing out advice, see this backup tip to avoid this problem again.

How do i get the songs with the clouds and down pointing arrow off of my phone

When I downloaded iOS 7 a bunch of my sisters disney songs got in my music on my phone and it plays when I put on shuffle and I never downloaded them. I pressed the cloud and it downloaded one of the songs to my phone. When I side swiped it the delete button popped up so i pressed it. All this did was bring the cloud back. How do I completely delete it off my phone?

Check setting >> iTunes & music store to turn off iTunes Match and show all music

Itunes resets dock and wallpaper everytime i change songs with keyboard

hey everyone, im having a problem with this new update. ok itunes works fine and everything but when i change songs in the application, or on the keyboard, the dock and my desktop reloads. when i mean by reloading the dock disappears and raises up, my wallpaper does the same

Silly question: WHY are you deleting music from the
iTunes library? Can't you just let the library
grow?
Not silly at all. Over the years I have undertaken the gargantuan task of converting my entire CD collection to mp3. It's a huge collection and a massive set of mp3s. More than I care to keep on my PC hard drive. So, from time to time I move some from external hard disk storage onto my PC's hard drive. So, I don't really want the library to grow as much as I want it to be fluid. But I don't necessarily want to remove ALL the songs currently on my mp3 player when I add new ones. Other mp3 players I have owned were a little more flexible in this regard. Heck, even the $50 Disney mp3 player I just bought my 7 year old for Christmas is more flexible than the Shuffle.
You should ONLY have to add the deleted songs back
to the library AND Shuffle... I suggest you think
about trading up to a Nano which functions more like
you would like the Shuffle to do.
Naah, too many mp3 thingies in the house now as it is. I'll just have to learn to adapt.
