Putting songs already on ur comp in itunes....at once

I had a bunch of songs, like 5000, on my comp.....w/ itunes....most of them were in AAC format. I dont know much about comps but i imported them from cds and itunes converted them to AAC format upon importing. My comp got messed up like a couple months ago and those songs were lost and i had 2 re-import them....I finally got done and my comp messed up again....and i opened itunes and the songs werent there. And the first time i opened itunes after the second mess up it offered 2 search for any songs stored on my comp.....and i clicked no....but now i realize that the songs are still on my comp....just not in itunes....and i could send them 2 itunes without a problem but i have 2 do it song by song which will take 4ever......is there any quick way 2 do this....I looked in itunes and couldnt find anything 2 click on that suggests doing what i want but maybe i missed it.....and help would be appreciated

In iTunes, go to the taskbar, click on File and Add Folder To Library. Find your music folders and so forth. It will put them back into iTunes.

I'm having the same problem... So far doesn't seem to be any fix for it.
People will try and tell you "Apple say just reconnect the device" but if that was the case, well... we wouldn't be here would we lol.

How can i put songs from my ipod into my itunes library?

I want to sort out all mu music on my ipod and start fresh, but i want to keep all my music. Is there a way of putting music from my ipod into my iTunes library? I understand that if there is music on my ipod then i mustve put it on there from the library but i dont think i did! It's just not there! all i need to do is transfer it from my ipod to my itunes library Pls help. Ta.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
With your iPod connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod.
If you had Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading a song from the iTunes store direct with your iPod, the song would be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod with iTunes after doing so.
Manually managing music and videos is manual all the way.

Trying to put songs from ipod into pc's itunes library

hi all,
im trying to put the songs from my ipod onto my computer at work...a pc is this even possible? the computer has itunes on it, i log into my itunes account, and it recognizes my ipod (shows up under the device thing). i can see all my songs including ones ive purchased from itunes, but they are all a light gray color and i cannot select and play or anything. not even the ones bought from itunes!...all while logged in and "authorizing" the computer. can someone help? the farthest i get is itunes warning me that all songs on my ipod will be replaced with whats in the computers itunes library which is nothing.
looking forward to hearing from you guys

You've posted this in the "Mac OS X Technologies > iSync" forum.
iSync has nothing at all to do with iPods or Windows.

HELP!!! VERY IMPORTANT! i can't put songs from my computer into my itunes!!

this happens to me since last month,
i uesed to downloaded some songs from other country, and it used to could put them into my iTunes,but since last month everytime i tried to put my downloaded songs into itunes, i didn't appear on the itunes screen and it doesn't appear on my iphone either. why?
can't put songs into my itunes and my iphone really bothering me!!!
please help.

I was certainly not flaming anyone. I was asking specific clarifying questions in an attempt to assist someone who's description of the problem was inadequate for me (and apparently anyone else) to make any recommendations. Even your interpretation really doesn't give enough information to really be useful. The country from which a file is downloaded shouldn't be relevant. If it is, we need to figure out what's different about it.
All in all, the post was kind of analogous to saying "My car used to work and now it doesn't". An accurate statement as far as it goes but not sufficient for a mechanic to even know where to start.
I am looking forward to hearing your possible solution to the problem.
Best of luck.

How do i put songs i have purchased in my itunes library into my husbands library on the same computer?

i have purchased songs on itunes and want to share them with my husband on his itunes account on the same computer, how do i do this?

Welcome to Apple Communities
You can't unless you use the same account. To import, select them and drag to the desktop. Finally, drag them to the other iTunes in the Mac

Put songs on iPod without going through iTunes

I have an older iPod - thisone and I want to convert it into mainly just audio books. I don't want to keep all those audio books on my itunes library and have already backed them up so I just want to go and drag them onto my iPod.
it shows up on my desktop as a drive, but there's 3 folders
calenders
contacts
notes
nothing else. How do I see the hidden files? would that work?

Converting songs already on my computer to itunes...

The day i got my ipod i started to convert all the songs on my computer to itunes, but it started storming so i had to shut the computer down. does anyone know how to get it started back converting the songs?

there is a hack method i can think of that would do it ... but it doesn't restart the conversion from the point at which it left off, it starts converting all the files on PC again from scratch. so you would end up with duplicates in your library of the files that were automatically converted the last time you tried this. with that in mind, are you still keen to try it?

I've got the same problem right now. I have an old Apple ID that my whole family was using (of course that one works fine) but I want to sign in with my personal iCloud ID and it does the same thing that you described. Any answers?
Note: doesnt work in iTunes or the App Store from my Macbook Pro or my iPhone, but does work when I sign in to the Apple ID page in my browser.

How can I set all of my songs to play from iCloud with iTunes Match once I've deleted the original file from my computer?

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered, but after days of looking I cannot find a solution. I would greatly appreciate any advice. I have iTunes Match and recently deleted all of my music intentionally because I plan on using iTunes Match for a good long time and I also know that I can download my files in bulk if I ever the need arose. That being said, now I am having to individually click on songs to make them play. I will get the message "The song 'x' could not be used because the orginal file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Then I click "Cancel" and the song plays from iTunes Match. Is there a way to make this happen for all of my songs? Thank you in advance!

Hey I had the same problem-
The fix to solve the error was quick and easy:
-Go to My Music tab and click on the song view to show all tracks.
-Then simply organize by the iCloud Download column. (if not shown, right click the column menu)
-The songs without any sort of iCloud icon shown are the ones with the error as you mentioned.
-Select all of those and hit delete. It will then ask to delete off of iCloud but make sure to click NO.
Voila no more annoying error on every SINGLE track over and over. I felt your pain, and now we are free!

ITunes Consolidation: Will it create duplicates of media files if they already exist in the new itunes destination folder but arent being referenced by the itunes library?

I have a macbook pro from fall 2010. I have been using my external HD as my primary itunes folder for the past 7 yrs ( i.e it is organized by itunes default categorization, etc). However, there is some overlap between my external HD itunes folder and my comps original itunes folder (probably 20-30% of my current library's media files were already duplicated there from when i first bought the HD and transferred files to the external, however they are mostly referenced from the external now). Also there are files in the comp's itunes folder that are not on my external (probably due to organizational mishaps and podcast downloads when not connected to the external, etc). I do not know how many files this is the case for.
Recently, i decided that i wanted to consolidate all of my itunes music into one concise folder on my macbook's HD to avoid these issues going forward. I also just bought a new external which i will use to back up my comp's itunes folder once i consolidate everything to the comp. But i plan on using the itunes folder on the comp going forward or at least using the consolidate fcn to avoid these issues.
Here is my dilemma. Prior to learning of the consolidate feature today, I changed the default itunes folder in settings to the original itunes folder on the macbook and then manually dragged all of the media files from my external itunes folder to the macbook's itunes folder. There were a ton of duplicates or overlapping folders with similar artist names, so i opted to have them merge all folders where possible. After doing this, i realized the itunes library still references these files that i dragged and dropped from the external since that is where my default itunes folder used to be. At that point i then read and learned of the consolidate itunes feature which seems like the best way to do this. But i am afraid that if i consolidate my library to my macbook's itunes folder now, will it create duplicates of the 4000 + media files i just dragged to the macbook's itunes folder which are already in the itunes library but being referenced from the old external??
Question: Is there a way that i can make these files i just dragged to the macbook's itunes folder become the ones referenced by the itunes library through the consolidate feature without creating duplicates of these 4000+ files? I want to avoid having three copies of these files (two duplicates in the itunes and the originals on the external). Furthermore, is there a best way to find out which files in the macbook's itunes folder are not being included in the library after consolidating everything to the computer's HD? Then after that, what is the best way to start backing this all up to my new external, so that this overlapping issue doesnt happen again? Im assuming i just need to make sure to consolidate first when changing itunes folders going forward. Thank you. I know that was a lot to read but hopefully someone can help with this issue.

In general:
- The best way to check if files are in a library is to drag the whole media folder to the library. If something was missed it will be added. If it is in the library is won't be added a second time.
- If you have a second copy of a file and iTunes does not currently list that specific file in its database then even if it is identical to one already in the database it will add it a second time. So if you have file xyz on the internal drive and the external drive and add them to iTunes you will end up with two entries for the same thing in iTunes because you really do have to copies of the files. While this can happen with two copies on a single drive, it will almost definitely be the case when you have a copy of a file on two drives because iTunes really sees them as two different things.
-Unless you know how iTunes works, avoid moving files yourself. Let the consolidate feature do all the file moving. Manually moving files can really mess up iTunes unless you know what you are doing and have iTunes set to not try to do it itself.
- There's no clean and easy way to delete duplicates. The best thing is to change practice so you don't create them. Here are references:

Can you use two ipods on one itunes account. It let me transfer my purchases, but can i put songs that are on one ipod onto the other that are already on my itunes?

i had an ipod classic and used it for a few years until i got an iphone.
Now I want to return to use it to fit all my songs on, however i now use a different itunes on a different computer.
It let me transfer all my purchases, but won't let me put the songs on that i downloaded from albums, and it won't let me put songs onto it that are on my iphone.
do i have to redownload all the songs again, or is there a simple method to solve this?

Before to attach your ipod.... try to find the file where you put your music.... click on that song.... itunes will ask you if you want to locate it.... from there you have to find the song(s) that is one of the folders in your PC.
