Only minority of Itunes Library has been put on Itunes match.

I've just downloaded Itunes Match for my Mac, Iphone 4 and Ipad, and have it turned on on all devices, however only a small minority of my Library has gone to the Cloud, whereas preferably I'd like all of it due to limited space! Any ideas?

Hi,
Availability of your music on your iOS devices is not instantaneous.
You need to let match complete its scan of your iTunes library. This may take some time depending on the size of your library and the number of tracks that need to be uploaded.

My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac?

My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac? Help!!!

Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup.

My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password. I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes. Please help.

My entire iTunes library has been duplicated. How can I delete all duplicates at once rather than each one individually?

My entire iTunes library has been duplicated. Is there any command that will let me delete all duplicates at once, rather than each individual song?

In particular:
Once you have used the Show Exact Duplicates feature* you can set about deleting all but one copy of each duplicate file. If all the duplicates have recently been added into your library then you could sort the list on the date added column, select a range of tracks with SHIFT-click and delete all the recent entries.
* On a Mac hold down Option, then click File > Show Exact Duplicates.
You could also check out Doug's Scripts for useful tools.

How to send an email notification if no document in a library has been touched in 6 months

The customer wants to receive an email notification if not a single document inside a document library has been not updated in 6 months. They don't want to get notifications based on single documents. They care only about the document library
as a whole. I know you can use the list settings to send notifications or start workflows if a single document but how would you do this on an entire library?
Get it?
Is it possible?

You could run something like this in powershell to check the last modified date and send an email if nothing has been modified in the previous 6 months.
if (!(Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{ Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.powershell }
$web = <website>
$list = <document library>
$items = ((get-spweb $web).lists[$list]).items | where {$_['Modified'] -gt (get-date).AddMonths(-6)}
$folders = ((get-spweb $web).lists[$list]).folders | where {$_['Modified'] -gt (get-date).AddMonths(-6)}
if (($items.count -eq 0) -and ($folders.count -eq 0)) {
Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer 'smtpserver' -from '[email protected]' -to '[email protected]' `
-Subject 'List items not modified in previous 6 months' -BodyAsHtml `
-Body "List $($list) has not had any files updated in previous 6 months"

Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Easy way to remove?

Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Is there an easy way to remove them?
It's a royal ache going through each one, clicking to see if it will play, getting a 'cannot locate the file' message, delete, etc etc.
Showing duplicates just shows I have a lot to tidy up.
<Edited By Host>

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

My photos library has been loading for four days. Any idea what the issue might be?

My iCloud photos library has been trying to load for four days. What is the issue?

Greetings ok_takem,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an issue with photo syncing. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Bobby_D

My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - help!

My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - is there any way it can be saved!!

Most likely it has suffered hardware damage in which case you'll need to take or send to Apple and pay for replacement, either under your AppleCare+ plan if you purchased the plan or by paying Apple's standard out-of-warranty replacement charge:

How to change the "home" computer for a iPod touch 3G (iOS 4.2.1) and an iPad 2(iOS5)? Music library has been already moved to iTunes on the new computer.

I have a iPod Touch (3rd gen) that has not upgraded it's OS beyond iOS4.2.1 even if I have tried connecting it into iTiunes I have a iPad2 which has been recently upgraded to iOS5 . Both were connected to a laptop computer that my husband will take with him when he moves to a different city. I will most probably buy a second laptop sometime, but meanwhile I want to tether my iPod touch and iPad 2 to my desktop PC for now. Before I took the plunge, I had a few questions which I am hoping this forum will help me answer
1. How to switch the Home PC for these devices? I have already transfered my Music library on to my Home PC and then downloaded and reorganised with iTunes. Since I am reorganising the library anyway I don't minding removing all my music from the iTouch and set it up from scratch for the music. However, I removed all musci from theiTouch, changed it to manual mode and connected it to the desktop- It's detecting it fine- but it still is not the home computer for the iTouch- everytime I try to put new music in it- it is deleting everything old- I can't see the same controls as I see from the laptop at all- how to rectify this? To I need to set this up as a new iPod (restore route)?
on the touch I have very few apps and don't care about them. on the iPad I do have a couple of valuable apps that I want to hold on to- so have n't tinkered with it at all- what is the smoothest way for thsi transition? The iPad doesn't have any music on it at this time, but what to do if I want to transfer some?
2. Is there a way I can store the organised iTunes info in any way- like I said I might buy a new laptop in a few months but do not want to reorganise my iTunes over agaoin- it' a fairly large collection most of which is n't purchased from the iTunes store.
3. Why sin't my iTouch 3G upgrading- it's stuck on iOS4.2.1 but iTunes doesn't show any updates- even with chck updates button iTunes show that it is a current version.
thanks for reading through and any help that I can get to sort this mess out.

The recent release of iBooks 1.2.1 has corrected the problem of the missing Dutton edition of Winnie-the-Pooh. It may have been there with the previous install of iBooks but it would never display in the bookshelf. After updating iBooks to 1.2.1, the Dutton version (the one included with iBooks) suddenly appeared on the bookshelf. So it was a software glitch after all and not a fix Apple chose to document explicitly in the update.

My itunes library has been erased

When I connected my i-Pod to my laptop, it said there was a problem with this disc and suggested I repair it. Now EVERYTHING has been deleted from my library and i-Pod! How can I restore it?

The error was with the iPod, and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. It's as if I have just purchased a new iPod, and it's empty--no music, no playlists, nothing.
However, there has been a new development. When playing around the other night, I found the music I had purchased, and a few other ones. However I am unable to sync. I gave up and decided to just start fresh and copy all of my music from my portable HD into my iTunes library and when I started to sync it said this iPod is already synced (or something like that) to another library; do you want to erase and sync to this library. I was desperate and said "yes", but no realize I probably shouldn't have.
I just wish there was somewhere I could go and have someone fix this for me! I don't have a mac so probably couldn't go to an Apple store, but there has to be somewhere, no??

Laptop has been repaired and for some reason itunes library has been wiped. Ipad still has all the music on, is there a way i can repopulate itunes?

My laptop has been repaired and for some reason my library on itunes has been wiped. Didn't pay attention and synced my iphone so have lost all the tunes off that now too. Ipad still has all the music on, is there an easy and free way to repopulate itunes from the music on the ipad?

My mac air want shut down, had to force shut after computer freezing in itunes, box with saving itunes library has been up for 30 mins

I have had a day of it. wanted to join my new pc computer to my itune account. one problem to many devices on my account and two are ones that got broken and couldn't be deauthrise. sooo i deauthrised all computers. my mac air was sitting beside me so i thought i will authrise it again, was that a mistake as my computer became very slow when i went into itunes. it froze and not in the spinning disc way, in the was doing nothing way. held power button in, after waiting 10 mins and it went to gray screen with itune boxs saying "saving itunes library". its been doing this over 30 mins now and will not shut down or anything esle because when i try power button again it says i have not logged out of itune and should do this before it can shut down. not happy!!!! this is after 2 hours prior apple tried very hard sale to get me to buy there tech support for £100. I have never had a problem before, doesn't that seem strange?

Exactly what did you do to run Disk Utility and exactly what happened up to the freeze?
I called some place to ask for advice and they said it could be my logic board???
That's an easy answer to give but not necessarily the correct one.
If you have the system restore disc that came with your Mac, boot with that disc in the Mac while holding down the "D" key. That will invoke hardware diagnostics. Run those several times to investigate the possibility that your Mac has a hardware flaw.
