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.

How do i remove songs from itunes that are from my computer

have songs on itunes that i import from my computer and i want to remove them from the list. how do i do that

Delete them.

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync.

An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?

I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?

You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.

I have a downloaded song from iTunes that won't play on my computer.

I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone 5. I've synced it with my computer. My iTunes won't let it play and gives me a message saying the my computer isn't authorzied to play the song. When I put my info it, it says that my computer is already authorized but still won't play it. It also won't play on my iPhone.

The trick of deleting the song to the Recycle Bin, dragging it to the Desktop and then back into iTunes worked. My guess is that because our computer was not authorized at the time of the purchase (this was our first purchase from the iTunes Store), the original file downloaded in a protected format. The computer has since been authorized, so the Recycle Bin ruse tricks iTunes into thinking it's a new file. I would still like to hear a confirmation of this from someone who knows though. Also, Apple should tell people to authorize their computers before making any purchases. It will save some confusion it seems.
Thanks for the tip.

What is font book used for? I read the description but still unsure. Does it contain fonts that are not already on the computer

What can I use font book for? I read the description but still don't get it. Does it contain fonts that are not already installed on my new Mac? Thanks.

Disabling (turning off) a font will make it unavailable for use in any font menu. You can alwasy enable the font(s) again - they're not gone permanantly. DON'T disable System fonts, though -> that's just asking for trouble.
Here's -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdR6-4lnF5A - a good video tutorial about using Font Book.

How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

How do I delete songs from iPhone that are not in my iTunes library. "Swiping" to delete it does not work as the delete option does not appear.

Just tried to remove all songs by changing synch entire music library to selected playlists, didn't select anything and says 0 songs at top, however the 5 **** songs that I'm trying to remove are still left on my phone!! This is so stupid but bugging me so much!!

Hi, Jixx0615.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you try to delete from a device running iOS 7, make sure to hold your finger on the song for a few seconds before swiping to the left. This should expose the red Delete button.
Try Again,

Deletion of Songs in iTunes that are not on hard drive

I had to delete a lot of songs from my hard drive. They are no longer in my hard drive but they are still visible on Itunes. Is there a an easy way to get rid of these from Itunes, other than going through each song one by one and deleting them individually

Several ways to Clean Up Your Library by Removing "!" or ‘dead links’ within iTunes:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=818692#818692
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=607582
ALSO:
Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt
Rename it to RemoveDeadTracks.js.
Run iTunes.
While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script. It'll remove all the exclamation marked tracks.
One step, no fuss, no muss.
Give Otto42 a big 'Thanks' for this one.

How do I search the available songs in Itunes that are not just $1.29?

According to ITUNES, I should be able to view all available songs in the ITUNES store. Well there are supposed to be songs that are 99 cents and 69 cents. Where can I find those at? I jave tried everything and I cant seem to locate those in the store so I can see if I want to purchase those.
Please help!!!
Thanks

But I want to just spcifically look at all the .69 cent songs to see if there are any I like.
The iTunes Store has extremely few songs for 69 cents, and as Roaminggnome notes, they do not make them easy to find. However, you might enjoy this nice 69 cent version of Chicken Dance.

I've bought some songs on iTunes that are not available for me to download anymore.

I had bought 182 songs but only 40 are available now, it wasn't like this before, what happened?

Hi AlexSecco,
You are probably looking in the wrong place for your previously purchased music. Open the iTunes Store and sign on. Then click on "Purchased" under Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes Store window.
Once you do that:
Click on Music (at the of the window)
Click on All Songs
Click on All (top right of the window)
You should see the entire list of all purchased music. Anything that is already on your computer will say "Downloaded" next to the song. Anything that is available to download will have a little cloud with an arrow in it.
You can download songs selectively, or you can click "Download All" at the bottom right of the window.
Cheers,
GB

Is there any way to subscribe to Creative Cloud from countries that are NOT listed on the Purchase site (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

I'm from Bosnia and Herzegovina and just recently started a IT StartUp Company with a great success. Now we have the requirements for tools like Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, but still as a StartUp, to buy the full licence is out of question for now.payment.
The solution would be te CC version with the monthly, but as many other countries, our country is not supported through the Adobe Purchase Page.
Is there a alternative way to do that.

Hi there
Creative Cloud for Teams is available through resellers in your country.
Thanks
Bev

HT3702 There are charges to my credit card from itunes that are not showing in my purchase history. How do i find out what they are?

Having trouble identifying charges to my credit card bill. The charges can not be found in my purchase history.

You haven't got any auto-renewing subscriptions (I'm not sure if they show on the purchase history or not, I don't have any so I can't check) - there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
And have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
If you still can't find them, and your card isn't or hasn't been linked to any other accounts, then you may want to contact your card issue. You can also try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
