Removing songs etc. from iMac that are available for re-download

My iMac's space is low, and I'm considering removing the iTunes content that I bought from iTunes, since I understand that it is available for re-download from iTunes when I want to listen to it/watch it again. Is that correct? What's the best way to do this quickly? Thanks.

No, not 100%.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - After you download your purchases, back up your iTunes library. Previous purchases might be unavailable if they've been refunded or aren't on the iTunes Store.
^^ The distributor has pulled them from the Store.  This particularly goes for movies where they may still be online and available for purchase but the distributor will not permit re-downloading.  Always read the fine print and make the most pessimistic interpretation.
Me, I wouldn't trust any online service to not suddenly change the rules and I make a copy of everything I download on an external archive drive.
Buy an external hard drive.  Better, buy two (one for backup).  Move your library to the hard drive.  Yes it is annoying but people want small computers (= small drives) and big media collections (= big drives) and nobody has come up with a great solution so far.
The re-downloading things is a travel convenience but not a substitute for backup and archiving.

  • SAP job not using all dialog processes that are available for parallel processing

    He Experts,
    The customer is running a job which is not using all the dialog processes that are available for parallel processing. It appears to use up the parallel processes (60) for the first 4-5 minutes of the job and then maxes out about 3-5 processes for the remainder of the job.
    How do I analyze the job to find out the issue from a Basis perspective?
    Thanks,
    Zahra

    Hi Daniel,
    Thanks for replying!
    I don't believe its a standard job.
    I was thinking of starting a trace using ST05 before the job. What do you think?
    Thanks,

  • Is there other adobe apps that are available for tablets other than apple?

    I see that there are several apps that are available for apple users. And I didnt know that photoshop was available to other devices until now. Either i am blind or it isnt as advertised.
    Is photoshop the only app available to other devices other than apple?
    Also, are these apps available to those who have the creative cloud subscription? or do you have to buy the mobile apps?

    Adobe apps on Android. Apps like Ideas and Kuler used to be there but not sure why they were eventually pulled. Not enough interest, maybe? (I believe Kuler eventually went free for iOS.)
    You have to buy the apps outright since those are closed electronic marketplaces that have no mechanism to connect to another marketplace (like Creative Cloud). The consolation is that if you stop subscribing to Creative Cloud, you'll keep any apps you've bought.

  • Remove songs on my iPad that are on iCloud

    I have songs on iCloud that I wish to remove but swiping does not bring up the delete.  Any suggestions?

    Settings> Music> Show All Music> OFF
    If you have purchased video content from iTunes, there is a similar setting under Videos (or do both settings under "iTunes & App Store").

  • I just bought a 4s. I attached to my computer and now the data/songs/etc from my ITOUCH are on it? How do I get it off and get my contacts back!

    I just bought a 4s. I attached it to my computer and it automatically added all my IPOD TOUCH information to it! I lost the call button, and have ZERO contacts!
    Help! I am so darn fustrated!!!!!!

    Sorry, if you reset your Sync Key your data was deleted from the Sync server. Your data is gone.
    Mozilla keeps just one "copy" of your data, there are no backups made to be "restored" if the user makes a mistake such as this. Plus, the Sync service isn't made for or intended for "backing up" your data for the purposes of restoring that data after a format of a PC. Yes, some users do that, but "you" need the Sync Key or you're SOL, as now. Mozilla didn't intend Sync to be used in that manner.

  • How can I remove thousand separators from nos. that are converted to text?

    Its all in the title.
    I have a string formula to concatenate various string fields together which works fine, however I come a little unstuck when adding a number to the end of the string that is 1000 or greater.
    I dont wish to see the comma (thousand separator).
    I use the Totext formula to convert the number to text
    eg Totext (,0) where might be a Year 2008
    This would appear as 2,008
    I also have audit numbers that could go into the millions and have 2 commas.
    Is there an easy way to remove them, or should I build up a string character by character using a loop formula?
    I am using CR 11.
    Thanks

    Hi Richard,
    Try this :
    Totext(,"####")
    Thanks,
    Sastry

  • I have a MacBook and cannot connect to App Store. I have no problem with the internet connection. I want to be able to buy the apps that are available for my computer. The date, time and location are all correct - all the suggestions have failed

    I have a MacBook - I am unable to connect to App Store - I have no problems using the internet to connect to anything else. I have checked out all the suggestions - Apple Preference and time, date, location etc. they are all correct. I cannot think what else I should do. Any suggestions please Cynthiafromgrayshott.

    If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
    Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
    Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

  • How come the same apps that are available for my iPhone and my iPad are not the same as the apps in the app store on my mac

    I want some of the same apps available on my iphone and ipad2 to be available on my macbook pro app store and to be able to link them through icloud. Is this not possible? If not, why not?

    The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
    So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.

  • How to remove an entry from a memory area?

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing an issue where a user has exported some wrong data to ABAP memory through an export statement.
    The export statement that exported the values is:
    EXPORT range_tab_epown
                  range_tab_dpown
                  popnot   TO DATABASE indx(oh) ID indxkey.
    Due to the restrictions in the design of the program, EXPORT statement cannot be executed again for this user.
    All we want is to erase this data somehow from the memory area OH.
    ->We do not want to create a Z report which will erase/replace the data through ABAP statements FREE/DELETE.
    ->Also ,we cannot alter the data through export statement in debugging mode.
    ->Resetting the buffer of this user through SU53 Or Log-in/ Log-off does not erase the data.
    *Please suggest if we can remove the data from ABAP memory (area OH) for a particular user without creating a Z report.
    *Is there any utility program or function module that exists which can help us erase this data?
    *Also, please throw some light on the memory where the data is getting stored through the above EXPORT statement.
    Regards,
    Sid

    >EXPORT range_tab_epown
    >range_tab_dpown
    >popnot TO DATABASE indx(oh) ID indxkey.
    This export doesn't write to any memory area.  As the key words suggest - it writes TO DATABASE.  specifically to cluster table indx, with relid oh.
    As far as I am aware, there are no utility programs - you will have to have some ABAP developed.

  • Is it dangerous to upgrade not all packages that are available...

    Is it dangerous to upgrade not all the packages that are available for upgrade?
    May it crash something which is not easy/possible to fix without reinstalling the whole system?

    Mr. Alex wrote:What if I haven't upgrade Arch for 2 years and after this time I upgrade only kernel. Can it cause any system damage/instability?
    If you are asking such questions Arch is most likely not the answer. And yes, user space programs might be too old for the new kernel or pacman might just not work in the first place due to other changes on our side.

  • Removing songs from iTunes, that are not saved on the computer

    Hey guys.
    First of all i would like to thank you for reading my post and trying to help.
    Anyways, i rent an external harddrive from one of my friends, and he had a huge amount of songs, that i would like to get on my computer. Stupid as i am, i started downloading directly from the harddrive, which result in a lot of songs in my iTunes, that are not saved in the computer, and when i remove the external harddrive from my computer, all the songs cannot play. So after that, i saved them on my computer, and tried getting them into iTunes once again. This has resulted in a double of every songs. Which is quite much.. Are there any ways, that i can do a "Clean-up" and remove all the songs that are not saved on my computer or not working or something like that?
    I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If your previous library was matched on you your computer, you can retrieve your music from itunes match on your computer.
    Sign in to match and add your computer. Your library will now show all the music that is in match. You should be able to download all your music back on to your computer.

    Does SAP has both free and licensed? If yes then what are the advantages of licensed over the open/free version?

  • How to remove sd card from iMac

    hi how to remove sd card from imac ,thanks

    If your machine is in warranty, be careful not to do anything more that might damage it when removing it from the optical drive.  You might even be able to convince an authorized service technician to carefully remove it under warranty from the optical drive.  It is a design issue that lets people accidentally insert the SD card in the optical drive.   Of course if that's the only copy of your information on the SD card, be sure to let them know that, so they are extra careful not to damage it when removing it.

  • Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    Can I transfer songs etc from ipod to itunes library?

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions

    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions

    For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

    I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

    perfect. ok do the following:
    settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
    Please confirm.
