  • Why doesn't my whole iTunes music library show up on Apple TV?  Only songs I have purchased or downloaded show up

    Why doesn't my whole iTunes music library show up on Apple TV?  Home sharing is on on all devices.

    nevermind, i had automatic graphics switching check off. i removed the check mark and then went into about my mac and voila there was the amd card. Figured i'd post what i found in case anyone else was looking for an answer.

  • Odd:  1037GB iTunes Music Library when it's really only 280G or so...

    I opened my iTunes library and while looking at it noticed that there were alot of duplicates in the library window. At the bottom for the Music list it says: " 252693 items, 730:15:50:30 total time, 1037.01GB"
    I looked in the actual Library folder at the suspect music and there are not duplicates in those folders -= just in the Library.
    I can get rid of the dups but this seemed odd and seems mainly a problem that might be more easily solved by rebuilding the library file or something = I'd rather not lose my various playlists and my ratings etc.
    Any suggestions as to what is going on and how to clean things up without destroying the Library xml?

    Thank you so much for your reply Katrina. Interesting stuff. Somehow in the mega searches I was doing for answers I didn't think to search using the Vaio angle. I will definitely go through those Vaio Files. This is my 4th Vaio and I NEVER seem to use any of the preloaded software, but to this point have not had problems until I installed iTunes 9.
    Last night I read another post that reminded me that the music files that show up in the iTunes/music folder are just "pointers" or say "shortcuts" (I can't remember the actual term used) to where the ACTUAL music files are located. When I used the Add Folders from the file menu I've always assumed that these "shortcuts" have been placed in the iTunes/Music folder properly. But just in case, I clicked on the Copy Files to iTunes Media folder in Advanced tab to be safe and then I did the Drag/Drop from my windows MY MUSIC folder (rather than using the Add Folders to Library in iTunes). I started by dragging and dropping like 5 albums. Then I'd close, open, close, open etc. to see if they would stay in my iTunes music library.... and they DID! So I left it overnight and then this morning I dragged a bunch more albums into my iTunes music library. Did another close, open, close, open on iTunes and so far everything is staying in place. My next test is going to be to completely shut down my Vaio and start it back up and see if it's all still there.
    Do you think any of this makes sense, or relates back to the Vaio software issues from the post you provided? I don't quite understand why it would work to drag/drop but not simply click Add Folders to Library???
    Thanks Again,

  • Library shows original but will only display clip if double-click to open

    I did some editing in PSE, lifting a couple of clips from one of the photos in iPhoto.  When I look at the photo in the iPhoto library, it looks fine.  However, if I double-click to open it, it will only display one of the lifts - not the original.  Where/how can I find the original photo?  It seems to me that if it is gone, it would not display in the library.  Thank you.

    Can you explain what you mean by "clip"?
    Every version of iphoto has a Revert to Originals command.
    How have you set up editing in Elements?

  • Syncing itunes music library with my ipod nano

    I set up my new ipod this weekend. All music in my library synced fine. However, I added new songs to one of my play lists, when I went to sync to get the new tunes on my ipod, I chose that playlist. It deleted all other music and only loaded that playlist.
    Also, I went to clean out my itunes music library and when I hit delete, it said that the next time I synced my nano, it would remove all songs not in music library
    Two questions...
    1. Do I have to check all playlists every time I upload new songs
    2. I don't want to keep all the songs I already have in my ipod on my computer. Do I have to keep all songs in my music library in order to avoid songs being deleted when I sync with my ipod or is there a way to only add new songs

    Hi Ricehouse;
    You have posted your questions on iTune and iPods in the forum for OS 9. I would suggest that you report either over in the iTune or iPod forums for Windows. There will be more people there that can help you.

  • How do I move songs from my iPod nano to my music library?

    I have an iPOD Nano that preceeds my purchases of iPad and iPhone devices.  Some music on my Nano is not in my current music library, probably because older PC's have crashed and in the process, some of the songs never made the transition into my computer or newer devices.  I am trying to figure out how to move songs on my Nano into my music library to complete the set.  Help for the dummy, please!!! 

    You're not a "dummy," because you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  iTunes syncing of content generally works in one direction, from computer to iPod.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library.
    NOTE:  Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

  • How to move iTunes Music Library from an external HD to another?

    Yesterday I tried to move all my music from an external HD to a new bigger one.
    Well, I encountered various problems, the most important one is that the “iTunes Music Library” file messed up.
    I transferred all files and both “iTunes Music Library.xml” and the “iTunes Library” file in the new HD. I have to say that I didn't know so much about those two files and I thought that it was enough to move them in the new location; I discovered that those files included the information about where the music is located (among other infos), so it still redirects to the older HD.
    However, now I’m trying to recreate the previous situation on the older HD, and I’m trying to “rebuild” the iTunes Library (I have a back-up of the xml file, even if it is not the running one).
    This operation is very important for me because about two years ago I used (for a long time )an earlier version of iTunes that had a bug: even if wrote all the tag infos on an a mp3, the “artist name” and “album name” tags didn’t remained. But I still can see all the informations through the iTunes browser (thanks to the iTunes Music Library DB). So, I cannot recreate it from zero. I absolutely need to export the existing “iTunes Music Library” to the new HD, or at least to use the existing “iTunes Music Library”, leaving it where it already is and moving only the “iTunes Music folder” (even if I don’t want to use two external HDs, the older one holding the existing “iTunes Music Library” e “iTunes Library” files and the newer one holding the “itunes Music” folder I moved!).
    As far as you know how can I move safely “iTunes Music Library” e “iTunes Library” files on the new HD applying them to the new “iTunes Music” folder??
    I really need your help!
    This article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307074 didn’t help.

    Sorry, I wasn't responding to you, just the original poster. I didn't look at the date on that posting and didn't realize that you'd added a post that wasn't quite the same problem. In future, you'll find you get better answers if you start your own thread. You're issue really is a bit more complicated.
    If iTunes currently recognizes all the music on both internal and the external drives, it should work. You have to make sure that both drives (old and new) are mounted. Make sure you have both "Keep iTunes music organized" (you probably already do) and "Copy files to iTunes..." (you probably don't) checked.
    If not all of the music is currently in your iTunes library, perform the procedure with the music that is a part of the library and add the other stuff afterwards.
    Best of luck.

  • ITunes library file ("iTunes Music Library.xml") being trashed and not read

    My iTunes music library is being recognized as a .xml file and comes up looking like a Dreamweaver file. It no longer can be loaded in iTunes (grayed out) when loading the app. Can't find the Library.
    So iTunes no longer recognizes it, nor does it see the backup on a different drive! I have no idea how it got recategorized. I also check in my Time Machine backup and all the similarly named files show up as the same way (with a Dreamweaver icon). This did occur after a restart of this machine. I see the same problem with a backup of the library on the same machine.
    I have not yet opened a new library and tried to import all my music over again. Is that the only viable fix? I remember this problem (or a similar one, I think) happening a year or so back. I didn't know what it was at the time but it caused me a considerable amount of grief with subscribed music not getting reloaded, etc. Is this what I'm in for again???
    How can I fix this? Here's what I did so far:
    1. Rebuilt Permissions. Here's the log.
    +Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”+
    +Permissions differ on "usr/share/derby", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x .+
    +Repaired "usr/share/derby".+
    2. Checked time machine to see if the folders' icons are the same. They are.
    3. Tried to open up iTunes library manually (option+open iTunes). Grayed out.
    4. Older backed up libraries show the same icon. Only version 3 or version 4 labelled libraries do not. Version of iTunes is 9.0.2

    iTunes does not use the .xml file. It is created only for other applications to use the iTunes library.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the iTunes library file in \Music\iTunes\ folder.
    That's what I've said, Chris. The files that open when selecting the Choose Library are:
    Yes they all exist. Also the following files exist:
    *iTunes 3 Music Library*
    *iTunes 4 Music Library*
    *iTunes Music Library (2)*
    Is there a pref I can delete somewhere to get rid of these? Copying the files from TIme Machine doesn't fix this.

  • Old 2005 Video iPod - How do I take music off and add to my iTunes music library?  And battery life issues...

    I bought my husband a Video iPod clear back in 2005.  I bought the 30GB serial No 4V544C1WTXK Model number A1136.  Yes, very, very old.  However, it is an Apple product and therefore should be good forever right?    We actually rarely used it then and have not used it in years.  I got it out and brushed it off the other day.  I have two questions:
    1-  I have some great music on it that I would like to transfer into my iTunes music library.  Is there a way to move it from the iPod into my iTunes library?
    2-  It isn't really holding a battery charge even when it's been charging for hours.  Is there anything I can do about that?  Do I need to replace the battery?  Is there even a way to replace the battery?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance. 

    1-  I have some great music on it that I would like to transfer into my iTunes music library.  Is there a way to move it from the iPod into my iTunes library?

    2-  It isn't really holding a battery charge even when it's been charging for hours.  Is there anything I can do about that?  Do I need to replace the battery? 
    Given the age of the device and that fact that it wasn't used for a lengthy period of time, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.  Lithium-ion batteries need constant activity in order to maintain any sort of charge.  However, all batteries generally deteriote over time and lose their ability to charge. 
    Is there even a way to replace the battery?
    Yes.  You can choose to have Apple swap the battery for a new one for the price indicated on this page.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You could also choose to send it to a third party service instead to have them swap it out at a much lower cost.  A Google search for "iPod battery replacement" should give you a number of results to work with.

  • ITunes music library goes blank

    When I open my iTunes, the music library appears blank - as if I have no music. For quite a while now I have been having these problems! I contacted apple and they recommended uninstalling and reinstalling all the apple applications I had, in a particular order. They gave me this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 for help with uninstalling and reinstalling all of the applications. Once I had reinstalled iTunes I imported all of my music back onto iTunes, (deleting duplicates and remaking all of the playlists) and it was fine again, when I opened iTunes all of my music appeared in the library. However after a week, I opened iTunes again and my music was completely gone! It appears blank even after I remember adding all of my music. I called apple again and told them about this problem, but unfortunately they said that reinstalling iTunes was the only thing that they could think of and they couldn't track my iTunes because I have Windows Vista, not a Mac. I really don’t understand why it keeps erasing my music!! I don’t have a problem with adding my music again but I don’t want to have to constantly be adding my music after every week. Has this happened to anyone? If so, what are the solutions to this problem?
    I have the latest iTunes, after reinstalling it again. Is there anything I could do to stop iTunes from deleting my music? Or is there a way to save my music on iTunes and for it to not get deleted after every few weeks?! I still have my music saved on my computer but I want it to be kept on iTunes without getting deleted. It’s just quite frustrating to have to constantly add all of my music!
    Any help would really be appreciated! Thank you!

    It's your Sony Vaio, and I bet those problems started soon after you first ran the Sony Entertainment software that gets pre-installed. This issue has been dogging Vaio owners for over 2 years.
    Either download the fix from Sony that makes it stop attacking the itunes database file

    Or turn off the Sony program in your Windows services panel - directions are buried in this long older thread. Set your AD "My Settings" to threaded view to see the whole thing

    An OLD INACTIVE email address, asking for a password, continues to show up to play certain selections in my iTunes Music Library.  I want to REMOVE this old email address, HOW DO I REMOVE IT!!  All attempts to remove it have failed!

    Yes, if you change your Apple ID to your new email address. You don't have to. Under those sort of situations you can speak to Apple about transferring your purchased items to the new Apple ID, and see if they will help you.
    You don't lose access to your older purchased items, you simply cannot update or re-download them or, in some cases, use them without providing the old Apple ID and password. All purchased items are permanently tied to the Apple ID used at time of purchase.
