Old music file needing to be organized

Recently I had all my old WMA files converted to MPEG, but to my chagrin they are all now in one great big "unknown" album - 2.9 days, 4.82 GB - with nothing more than the name of the song & it's individual length in time. Bummer ... I haven't a clue who's singing or on what album ... this makes it really difficult to try to reorganize them back to individual albums & artists.
I have a friend who's got a iPhone ... now we're out eating and I said "who's that singing" in reference to the background music? She grabs her phone, holds it up toward the speaker, and next thing I know she's telling me that's the Moody Blues and the song's name and anything else I needed to know.
Cool ... but what I need to know "Is there a way that I can do this with all this music I have on my computer and not a clue as to the artist singing or what album it was on?"
Thanks for the help,
JD

I had a tech out to the house and I am not sure what application he used. I will find out and about the ID3 tags. And I have not been able to find the wma files anywhere. I've got to go to work, but will do some research & post later. Thanks.

Syncing new computer with old music files with Iphone.

Hello all, recently I got a new computer and transfered all my old music files over and updated my itunes on my new pc. I also de-authorized my old pc and authorized my new pc. However, when I plug in my Iphone into my new computer it doesn't seem to be syncing at all. I've also added a new album to my music files on my new pc and since my iphone isn't syncing, the songs haven't shown up on my phone. I was wondering does anyone have a solution to this? or what I need to do to have my new pc syncing with my iphone?
Thanks.

Can someone help here?

Old music files with DRM protection

I have some old music files with DRM protection. I don't see an option to pay for an upgrade so I can get DRM-free files. Is there a way to do that? I keep reading posts about iTunes Plus but they're all old posts so I assume that option is gone. Thanks!

It is back from time to time. Keep watching under quick links

How can I transfer my old music files to my new iPod using a different computer from that used on the old iPod?

I got a brand new iPod and wanted to put the music files on my old iPod to the new one. In addition to this I would like to know how to sync my new iPod to a different computer from that of the old one. Is it possible for me to accomplish all this with music rescue?

Put everything on one computer and sync to that computer.

Do music files need to be available locally, even if on Match?

Hi - I recently signed up to Itunes Match and successfully completed the sync and (pretty much) all my music was either matched or uploaded. All my music is stored on an external harddrive. Now that all my music is in the cloud I was hoping to be able to listen withouth being connected to my external drive. However, when I try I get the "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?". I assumed it would just use the files from the cloud. Any ideas?
Thanks
James

Yes, this has come up many times. iTunes still thinks the file is stored locally so will look for it.
You have two options:
If you don't want to use the HDD at all then open iTunes and select all your music files and delete them from iTunes. Make sure that you don't click the box to delete the files (unless you have a backup elsewhere). Keep the external as your backup and you should now be able to stream from match.
Or, if you want to be able to use the external HDD sometimes then you will need to create a new iTunes library, and sign it up for iTunes match. Once it is set up you will be able to stream on that library and play local files on the other library.

Changed account name and old music files no longer can play

I changed my account name to an e-mail address that I currently use. since I moved the old one I could no longer access any longer. Well they have a feature to do that so I took it so it would be easier to remember the account and password. thing is since I changed none of the songs that I purchased with the old account name can be played any longer. they need to be Reauthorized.
No biggie right just type in the old account name and password and I'll be on my way. Wrong :P
According to the music store the old account does not exist. Well of course not that is because I changed it. I check to see my account history under the NEW account and it has all the files I ever downloaded since I first installed iTunes! If this is the case why on earth can I not play the files purchased under my old account under the new accounts name! did I make a mistake by not deauthroizing my computer before changing account? because it is not mentioned in the instructions to do so! Grrr... normally I'd just say oh well but it's most of my iTunes library!
Pleas help!

Problem Resolved!
I was sent back an e-mail stating that I did not make a second account but changed my account name from (accounts will be withheld for security) one to the other. Problem?
Files downloaded from the other account name would not work with the one that I was currently using.
Issues further complicating the matter. My computer recently was having Power supply issues and I reformated my computer several times. Not realizing that this left iTunes Music store saying that I had 5 computers authorized on my account because I had not deauthorized any of the computers each time. Couldn't really, windows crashed out and I couldn't get to it. So when I got everything ironed out on my computer. I couldn't play any of my songs becaus I had reached maximum authorizations! even Deauthorizing and reauthorizing didn't work.
Solution:: Login to your (working) account and go to your account summary. Click on the button that says "Deauthorize ALL computers" This will wipe all computers that you had associated with your account to play your songs. Not that big of deal because all you have to do is log back in. (BIG deal to ppl that don't know your password, which they shouldn't be playing yoru songs anyway!)
Once I resetted my authorization on all computers and logged back in everything was fine.
Now I think the tech that sent me the e-mail did do one thing for me. He must have enabled my old account I used to have and linked it to my current one. Because instead of my old account saying it does not exist it says it works now! yet I still login to and access my account with my new e-mail account!
So even though I would like to say everything was within my power to do myself the whole time. That is not the case. The tech did help me associate the two accounts from withing iTunes. So I can now listen to my songs at anytime I want and not be told I have 5+ computers when I only own 2 LOL

Trying to recover old music files

how do i access music purchased from store and downloaded to old computer. Files ten years old. Donot have old computer. Download link only accesses past couple of years. are they still stored somewhere or time deleted. thanks any advice welcome

I just downloaded and ran the XSkeyUpdater which successfully fixed the XsKey so I can now launch Logic 7.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically import old music files? Last time I got a new computer I didn't have to use an external drive to update my music library.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

Old Quicktime files need a converter!!

Hi all,
Just picked up an awesome digital re-issue of Blue Train by John Coltrane and the disk has a heap of live footage and interviews with the man himself and his contemporaries. Problem is, it comes with Quicktime 2.5 (cast your minds back people) and all the video is encoded as such. I've tried installing the program but my computer says that "the Classic environment is no longer supported".
I'm able to hear the audio from the clips but no video.
Any ideas, I'd really love to be able to watch these, it's the main reason I bought the re-issue.
Thanks in advance.

I've tried to open them with Quicktime 7.6.6, but all it does is bring up the same player as it does when you use Quicktime to play an audio file. I'm starting to think that they are just audio files encoded as .mov considering how old they are (CD was re-issued in 1996, with Quicktime 2.5).
The thing is they are all little random snippets of interviews etc which make little sense when you can't see who is talking.
Anyway, thanks again for your help man.

I had to install a new hard drive because my old hard drives boot files became corrupted, and i want to get all of my music files off the old hard drive and regain all my play counts/ratings/playlists

Greetings everyone
as the title says, ive had to install a new hard drive and i want to transfer my old itunes library onto the new drive, maintaining all playlists/play counts/ratings etc, album artwork if possible. The old hard drive is installed as a slave drive and is completely acessible, but due to the boot files being corrupted i cannot use it as the main drive and therefore operate my old itunes. Also, my ipod no longer contains my music library as itunes synced without my permission and wiped it.
The only thing i have tried is copying all of my old music files from the old drive by selecting 'add folder to library' and then the old drive, then replacing the new itunes library.itl file with the one from my old itunes. This restores all my playlists and playcounts but when i try to play any of the songs it says that the files could not be found, and i dont fancy locating 8500 music files individually!
Thankyou for taking the time to read my post, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ah, my reply was based on the assumption that you had a default installation of iTunes.
i.e you had all your music in the iTunes media folder inside your iTunes folder.
If your iTunes folder is so small compared to the amount of music you have, you must have a different arrangement.
This complicates you situation considerably.
iTunes can cope with moving around as long as all the music is in the iTunes media folder, not not if it isn't.
Your first step should be to get iTunes working on the old drive. This will involve editing the xml library file so that the drive letter is correct and then rebuilding the library from the xml file.
Then you will need to consolidate your library which moves everything into the iTunes media fodler. After that you will be able to use my first suggestion.
Step 1
Find the iTunes folder on the old drive and copy the two library files somewhere else so you can find them again. That's iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
Now open the copy of iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting:
Location
These contain the paths to tracks.
You will need to use a find/replace to change the drive letter so that it is correct.
Make sure that you include enough in the "find" so that you only change the right thing.
Maybe /c:/ and replace with /d:/ or whatever.
After that, tell iTunes to use the library on the old drive with a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the old drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
Then use the method in the following article to rebuild your library;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Unfortunately the date added will be today for all tracks.
If iTunes works correctly after this, consolidate your library
File>>Library>>Organize>>consolidate
This copies all tracks into to iTunes media folder and could create a problem if you do not have disk space so don't do it if you are unsure about free disk space.
Check that iTunes works OK and then use the first method.

Itunes Music Files Lost

I recently bought a new PC. I had already copied all my files and folders from my old pc, including itunes, to a backup hard drive. When I copied back all my files to the new PC, all the files were there, except the itunes music. The library is there, but the music files are not. When I click on a song in the library I get an error saying that "The song cannot be used because the original file is not found, do you wish to locate it?". Now, I've read a number of forums saying that iTunes is prone to moving music when you change to a new system set up, and is not very good at finding it. However, I've searched high and low using the search tools in vista and I am fairly certain that the songs are not there. I have done the same searches in my backup drive and they are not there also. What could have happened?
I should point out that none of my music is purchased from Itunes, it is my entire CD collection of 2500+ songs which was ripped into itunes. It seems that apple is happy to suggest solutions for 'lost' music if you purchased from itunes, but there is little or no support for people who are using itunes to organise and hold a cd collection.
To make matters worse, I connected my Ipod to itunes without realising the songs were missing and now I have lost all the music from my Ipod as well.
I know that I have probably been stupid and done something wrong, but Itunes does not seem to be particularly user-friendly when it comes to moving it's files and folders from one Windows device to another. I have a strong feeling that I am going to have to start all over again, unless anyone can offer me some advice on how to get my old music files back?

wow i am in the middle of a very similar situation. i bought a new computer...had the store burn all itunes songs onto a disk, from old computer. put disk into new computer drive and downloaded all songs. now, they are all showing on my new computer harddrive but they won't play on itunes. when i click on a song, itunes comes up but nothing happens. i have done everything that the itunes online customer service dept can tell me to do. nothing is wrong with my new computer, the cd/dvd drive...the drivers, nothing. my new computer is now authorized with my itunes account. all of our ipods are now authorized with the new computer. the store where i got new computer says maybe the songs are licensed with my old computer. he says its all about where they were oribinally licensed. i have had it...spent HOURS trying to figure this out.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

HT3847 Using 'Grand Perspective' to see my files, I have both iTunes media and iTunes music files. It seems I have 'organised' my media, but should or need there still be both types of files? I am running out of HD space and thought, maybe, 'merging' .

I'm trying to free up disk space. When I look at my files using 'Grand Perspective' (Like 'Disk Inventory X'), I see songs in both iTunes music and iTunes media files. I'm wonder if there is some kind of duplication between them. Could I find HD space by doing something with these files? I've already 'organised' them using the iTunes library feature. But I note that it seems that organizing could leave the old (?) files in their 'original place'. That sounds to me like duplication.
I'm not at all a 'techie' so don't know where to go from here.

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

I have multiple libraries on an external drive. Somehow all the iTunes library files i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, Media folder, etc disappeared! Only the music files remain. Now when I start iTunes w/option it can't find any of the old libraries!

Help! I 'm using an old G4 powerbook, Mac OSX 10.5.8, iTunes ver 10. I have multiple iTunes libraries on an external drive. Everything was fine for a while, then all of the iTunes library files, i.e. iTunes Library.itl, xml, itdb, artwork folder, Media folder, etc mysteriously disappeared! Only the music files remain (thank god) So now when I start iTunes w/option key to choose a library, I can't choose any of them because iTunes won't recognize them. Because all the library stuff is missing. So can I re-create the library files? (I don't care if I lose my ratings)
Or should I create a new empty library on the external drive, then manually move all the music files to the Media folder in the new library?
I tried some stupid ideas like creating a new library just to start iTunes, then going into prefs and advanced, then under iTunes Media folder location, selecting the location of the old library on the external, to see if iTunes would then find all the music which is still there, but no workee.
I'm out of ideas, and I searched the archives.
Help! anyone?
Scott

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

Questions on organizing/sharing music files on 3 PC networked drive

I just added 1Tb network drive to 3 pc home network... I am planning on moving my iTunes music folder from the older, smaller network drive. I exceeded the 160GB size of the old drive when converting all of the WMA losselss files to Apple lossless while maintaining the old WMA files(I still think the Windows Media Player system is superior). With the new addition to our network, I am planning on the 3 pcs sharing music files... (my wife has been using iTunes for a while, I have just recently went over to the dark side)
What is the best way to organize the files??
-How to shuffle all without the folder of Christmas & Holiday music playing.
-Segregate each users individual files.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated, I know it would save a lot of time and pain instead of the trial and error method.

Thanks, Jason & Mike. This is how I resolved the problem. Turned out the disk with the data was in NTFS format. Neither my eMac nor my wife's Carbon iMac (prehistoric, in other words) was able to read it, on repeated attempts. In process I discovered (to my surprise) that the external hard drive attached to my eMac (a 320 Gig My Book) was formatted in FAT 32 format, and that the PC laptop (Thinkpad) read from it, and wrote to it, without any problem. (Is FAT 32 less than optimal for use with a pre-Intel Mac?). So I just copied the needed files from the NTFS disk to the FAT 32 disk, via the Thinkpad. When I reconnected the FAT 32 drive to the eMac, it turned out that it was easy [with some fiddling] to put the titles of the new music into the iTunes Library, without having to copy the music itself into iTunes. Making playlists does still seem to have to go manually. Sometimes the "New Playlist from Selection" option automatically gives a name (the original name) to the album from which the music came, sometimes it doesn't. Rationale not clear to me. Other problem: often the sequence is jumbled (this is after I added the whole collection of folders containing music to my iTunes Library in one fell swoop). Usually it was possible to correct this by copying track names for albums one album at a time from the external HD (in Columns view, selecting all the tracks in each folder simultaneously) directly into the playlist; the playlist name then always had to be copied or typed in separately. I don't know if I'm missing an easier route. Also, I see that I have version 4.7.1 of iTunes - I'll download a newer version! Don't know whether newer version will affect what I want to do in a positive sense.
