New Mysterious File popped up under Music Store

Hello. I opened up my iTunes today and there is a new file, in blue called "Mcarty's Music". I cannot open it; it requiest a password. However, the problem is, I do not know anyone named "Mcarty" nor did I try to import his/her music. This just popped up out of nowwhere. The icon looks exactly like the Music Store icon but it is blue. Could this be a virus?
I cannot delete it.
Thanks for the help!

You're seeing the shared iTunes library from some other computer on your local network. Go into the iTunes Sharing preference and turn off "look for shared music". If you don't want to similarly be sharing your iTunes library with other computers, make sure that the "Share My Music" option is unchecked.

  • Obtain ID-tag from m4a, m4p, mp3, ... file bought on iTunes Music Store

    How can i obtain ID-tag (... and an unique ID?) from m4a, m4p, mp3 file bought on iTunes Music Store?
    I need to build C/C++ application to make this.
    Best regards.

    Burn them to an audio CD then re-import them. This strips off the restrictions and protections rendering them like any other CD music you import. And then you can store the CDRs away as a backup of your purchase.

  • Music Files download from Nokia Music Store Does n...

    Hi,
      I have purchased a new Nokia 5800. Along with the box I recieved two vouchers to download music from Nokia Music Centre. After downloading and while trying to play in Nokia Mucis Player, it displays the message a message informing some digital rights information needs to be downloaded from Microsoft. It tries to download and it fails.
     What should I do to make these .wma files play in my nokia phone and also in my PC?
      Thanks in advance.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Do you mean that the download and installation of the DRM component fails, or tracks from Nokia Music Store?
    thanks,

  • Why do some video files show up under music, & some under movies?

    I ordered a CD off of iTunes that included bonus material, 4 of which were videos. 3 were music videos, 1 an interview with the artist. The 3 music videos show up at the end of the album in the music part of iTunes, the interview video shows up seperately under movies. Is there any way to manipulate this, so all the videos can be in one place, be it under movies, or music?
    Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out here.

    Right click the file and then click get info, go to the options tab, there should be a box which says media type: change this to the option you want.

  • Use of files dowloaded from i-tunes store on Roku (3rd party device)

    Hello,
    I have a Roku soundbridge system which play my music from my Mac compute r(via wifi). Unfortunaley it does not succeed to play the files bought on i-tunes store as it says they are protected. How can i take out the protection or have it read by my system. On roku site, i only find "apple does not allow streaming of files downloaded from their music store to 3rd party device." Is there any solution for me to listen to the albums i have bought on my system??? thks for your help

    Sorry, but as Roku's web site says, no third-party devices can play tracks purchased from the iTunes Store. Tracks from the iTunes Store can only be played in iTunes or QuickTime Player or on an iPod, Apple TV, iPhone or iTunes-equipped Motorola cell phone.

  • Disk full error when download files f. music store w.itunes6

    Hi I have my volume mounted over afp 64gb used 56 free and when i download songs from music store it says disk full.
    This only happens since itunes6
    It works seamless when downloading to local drive.
    Any workaround for this nice new feature??

    I don't understand it either, and I didn't study the problem at all after I got it working. I've read accounts of people experiencing this with varying amounts of space available, so I'm pretty sure it isn't directly related to the exact amount leftover (maybe it has to be above a threshold for the problem to occur at all...). Also, 200GB, while a nice even number in decimal form, isn't anything special in two's complement binary.
    I'll assume that you are using the most current version of iTunes (7.0.2 I believe), so this confirms that the problem has not been repaired since I experienced it (7.0). So it is a lingering bug. I did experience the same oddness where I could download podcasts, but it was failing with videos. At the time I assumed it had to do with some arbitrary limit, and that the podcasts were small enough to remain under it. Now, I think it has to do with some state that is stuck in iTunes, and gets reset when something happens with the volume's filesystem.
    Anyway, if following the above linked advice doesn't help in your situation, I'm at a loss for what else to try. I guess rebuilding your library may be worth a try. On a few occasions I've had to run "consolidate library". You could try that (if you are using the option to organize your files). It won't damage any of your settings.
    On your last point, absolutely correct. Sorry about that, but that's my point of view.
    Good luck.

  • I have an iPod Touch on IOS 5.1.1 - I uploaded its music library to my new laptop, using Tunejack. However, I now cannot download music from my laptop to the iPod (but can download to my iPad2 and iPhone 4S). I have gone under 'music' tab. Any ideas?

    I have got an iPod Touch on IOS 5.1.1, which contained my music library, including uploaded CDs and purchases. I have a new laptop (using Windows 7) and upIoaded my music library from the iPod, using Tunejack, onto the laptop. I then made a few purchases but these weren't showing up on my iPod, so in frustration, thinking this would rectify the problem, I then re-booted the iPod, with the result that my entire music library disappeared from it.  I then went to sync with my lap top and went in under the 'Music' tab and clicked on download 'entire music library' but nothing happens. I have also tried 'selected playlists, artists, albums and genres' but this has not worked as well. The same issue dows not apply with eitehr my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4S.  As mentioned, this music library did come from my iPod so there is no space issue. If anyone has any suggestions i would be grateful.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • New Episodes of my Podcast are not showing up in the iTunes Music Store?

    this isn't really an "itunes for mac" question, but since i do my production on a mac, i'll ask it here!
    i produce and record a weekly podcast (about 2 hours each week) which has been listed in the iTMS since it started (last february)
    this last week we recorded episode 31 and uploaded it to my .mac account, and all went well... the new episode is downloading to anyone who already has subscribed to the rss feed (homepage.mac.com/airplayradio/podcast.xml), but it hasn't shown up in the iTunes Music Store... the software i use to upload the shows generates an automatic ping, and i've done a manual ping a couple of times a day since wednesday, but nothing...
    any ideas? absolutely -nothing- (software/hardware/etc.) has changed since i uploaded episode 30 a week ago, and that showed up within an hour...
    many thanks for any advice!
    cheers

    well, i never got a reply directly to my question, but i was directed by email to post my problem within itunes... go to the podcast page of my podcast and then select "report a concern"... i always thought this was to report offensive podcasts, but if you click on that button you'll see a pull down list with a bunch of problems... i selected "difficulty downloading" and then explained the problem completely... as i said, i never heard back from anyone, but about 4 days later my podcast episode showed up... and this past wednesday we uploaded the latest episode and it showed up in the iTMS almost immediately... go figure?!
    if anyone's interested, the podcast name is Schnauzer Logic and its comedy and talk and music and pop culture (i used to be the host of a morning show)... good for a giggle once a week for a couple of hours.
    cheers!

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • New episodes not showing up in iTunes Music Store

    Hi I'm trying to figure out why new episodes of our podcast don't show up on our iTunes Music Store Page in iTunes.
    The last episode listed on the page is from October 29, 2006 even though there are episodes in the feed as recent as April 1, 2007. Once you click "subscribe" and go to the "podcasts" section of iTunes, you can see all the episodes, they just don't show up in the iTunes music store page.
    The feed is at:
    http://www.uusf.org/AboutUUSF/SermonArchive/RSS/UUSF_Sermons.xml
    Any help is appreciated. -Steve

    OK, I got it to work by running the feed through
    feedvalidator and fixing all the errors. The wierd
    thing is that the xml file was created by a program
    called RSSBuddy, so it shouldn't have been messed up.
    Interesting. I suspect that the XML parser used by the iTunes Store is fussier than the iTunes software itself!
    I guess I need to find a new program for editing the
    RSS feed. Any recommendations?
    If you're on a Mac then Podcast Maker is a great choice. For Windows there's a product made by Feed4All.
    Cheers,
    Greg.

  • Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files

    Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files from my PC? I am migrating from window 7. I was planning on doing myself but it looks like you need two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and two Ethernet cables? What is the best way to transfer? I live in a rural area and think maybe wirelessly may not be the best way? Thanks for any assistance!

    Can I use my back up from my PC to transfer? I just backed up my PC to WD My Book. Will that work?
    Probably will work fine. It's worth a try and won't do any harm. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2518
    What you can transfer to your Mac depends on the files.
    Photo files (.jpg .tiff etc) fine
    Music files - some may need conversion software to be used in iTunes (unless you had iTunes on your PC) but free converters are there
    Video files - ditto, some will work in iMovie, others may need converting to work
    Text - Pages will read .doc and .docx files.  Most Word processing files/spreadsheet files/presentation files can be read in iWork but if not, can use Open Office or Libre Office (both free downloads)
    Windows programs (eg those with a .exe suffix) won't work on a Mac without installing Windows (e.g. via BootCamp).

  • New Mac Not Authorized To Play Music From iTunes Store

    My new Mac is not authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store. This was my error since I was a bit over exuberant and forgot to deauthorize my old computer before transferring the iTunes library using the setup assistant.
    I do not plan to keep my old computer and will delete the music. In order to retain all my old settings (e.g. copies still available), am I now able to repeat the transfer process using the migration assistant?
    I would like to simply deauthorize the old computer and then transfer the iTunes files a second time.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rod

    Just go to 'Store' in the menu bar in iTunes and select 'Authorize' to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account.
    If you have authorized 5 computers (the maximum), you can reset them all once a year from the account management section of iTunes Music Store. Access this by signing in and clicking the button labelled with your Apple ID in the top right of the iTunes Store window.
    You can transfer your entire iTunes library (ratings, playlists, date added, last played, playcount etc.) by just copying the entire iTunes folder (containing iTunes Library, iTunes Music and iTunes Music Library.xml) from your old Music folder to your new one.
    Make sure you back up all of your purchased music, it cannot be downloaded again!
    Hope that is helpful in some way!
    Tom.

  • I cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes.  The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

    I cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes.  The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

    Go to the Store menu item on the menu bar, and choose Authorize This Computer, as shown below. 
    If by any chance you don't see the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

  • IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows).  Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

    iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows).  Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply.  This is timely and aggravating.  Any other solution?
    I have also tried a hard reset.  I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music". 
    Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

    Successful experience with Apple Care.
    If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
    Here's the fix that worked for me:
    1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
    2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
    3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg  ( * this may or may not be there * )
    4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
    5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
    Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.
