I have hundreds of short sound files in iTunes library

Anyone know what applications use these. They appear to be sound effects (Sticky Keys Stuck). I'm trying to wittle my library down below 25K tracks for iTunes Match.

There are many threads about this issue on here, but this one is probably the most informative.

I can't get any sound from ITunes. The computer's internal speakers are fine (they play utube sound, for example). And the sound bar on itunes is all the way to the right. Still no sound from the music library. Any insights?

I can't get any sound from my ITunes library. The IMac is set to internal speakers, the volume bar on ITunes itself is all the way to the right, there seems to be no problem with the speakers themselves (they play sound from internet videos, for example), but I can't play music from the ITunes library on the IMac. Please help!

Is it possible that you have iTunes set to send audio through AirPlay to an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other AirPlay device (which is itself not turned up so you can hear it)?

Can't retrieve music and have to use password everytime I open iTunes library

I bought a new laptop about a year ago and was able to move all my music without a problem.
Now a year later, all my music gets a "can't retrieve file" message, so when I find it and check "try to find the other files in the same location" iTunes freezes every time.
I really don't want to have to move all my music again!
Also, I have to sign in every time I open my library, which is just incredibly annoying!

Hello Cancaillerie,
It sounds like your iTunes Library / files weren't moved to the right location or consolidated. The article below explains how to do this.
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204318
If you are repeatedly being asked for a password in iTunes, you may not have the new computer authorized to play your iTunes purchases.

Scratchy Sound When Sliding Through Covers in Cover Flow View in iTunes 8

Anyone having problems with a scratchy sound as you slide through covers in the cover flow view in iTunes 8?
Also sliding too fast has caused app to crash.

The scratchy sound seems to have come up a few times with iTunes 8 (including in a couple of other threads that I can't find right now). It seems to have picked up around the last QT update, which was coincident with the iTunes upgrade.
(post updated)
I must admit, I didn't read closely at 7:30 in the morning, and didn't see this was just happening to OP with cover flow.
But there have been a number of people (including me) complaining of general scratchiness in iTunes 8 and AirTunes that seems traceable to the last QT update. Be glad you aren't in my situation, where it's ALWAYS scratchy.

When i play a song from my itunes library, there is a short "buzzing" sound about every 20-30 seconds. I had the problem before and thought it was fixed after verifying that itunes was my default player. Any ideas to fix the problem now??

I am having the same problem I have over 11.5 GB of .tmp files, many 1000s. Here is a thread I have found with some more info:

That thread is almost a year old so I'm not holding out hope for a fix from apple. I'm going to try deleting them and see how it goes...

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
You need to have Home Sharing On.
Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

PowerPoint sound clip from my iTunes library

I know this is a basic question, but I'm trying to insert a sound clip into a PowerPoint presentation. I want to use a song from my iTunes library, but I can't figure out how to do that without importing the song onto a CD. I'd rather not have to insert a CD every time I play my PowerPoint presentation.
How do I either pull directly from iTunes for my sound clip or save that clip to my desktop? I've been able to insert sound clips I already have on my desktop.
Thanks for your help.

This forum is dedicated to the integrated application, AppleWorks. Your question seems to be more about iTunes than even PowerPoint. I suggest posting your question in the iTunes forum.

The latest edition is corrupted and you need to fix this.

Scratchy sound in iTunes! (No problems in Quicktime) - frustrating!

Hello everybody,
When playing audio in iTunes 10 the sound is scratchy. If a song starts out very quietly, eg. with only an acoustic guitar, there is a very noticeable scratchy sound almost every time a note is played. This is extremely frustrating when listening to any kind of music.
I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro, everything is up to date. I also had these sound scratch issues with my old MacBook, so I was hoping they'd be gone on my brand new MacBook... Guess not.
Anyway, I tried EVERYTHING to locate the problem. Here's what I discovered yesterday:
-I imported a brand new CD into iTunes
-Then, when I played the imported files in iTunes, the scratchy sound was there. Frustrating.
Here's what I don't understand:
When playing back the very same files using QuickTime, or even using Quick Look in the Finder, there's NO scratchy sound. The output level is a bit lower, that's all - but no scratchy sounds whatsoever. The files sound perfect and awesome in QuickTime and Quick Look.
So, what should I do now?
Using QuickTime to play all my music seems pretty rediculous, to say the least. The whole point of iTunes is to organize and play your music. So this bothers me quite a bit.
It seems to me that this is an iTunes issue.
Hope to hear from some of you.
Best,

Hi guys,
Just stumbled across this post on Google and I just want to say that I am experiencing the same problem and I have the equalizer turned off! I am running my iMac with a USB sound card to my amp and into B&W floorstanding speakers which all work VERY well.
Similar to the guy above my songs are playing very well with QuickTime - not a problem at all, but with iTunes 10 something isn't quite right. Basically when a song gets slightly bassier it tends to sound scratchy - e.g. A hard strum of a guitar. I know this isn't right and I am certain it is an issue with iTunes - the equalizer is turned off but sound check is on (with sound check off it sounds worse).
What I struggle to understand is that all of my songs have been sync'd to my iPhone 4 and those songs which sounded scratchy on iTunes on my iMac sound fine on he phone - even when I go out of the headphone jack of my phone straight to my amp!!
Please, please can somebody resolve this issue - I love high quality sound and if the iMac insists that I play and organize a bulk of my music with iTunes then it needs to sound right because at he moment the likes of John Mayer are sounding rough!
One of the main songs we could use as an example would be a song by Mumford and Sons called "After the Storm".
Thank you in advance to anybody with any advice.

Increasing sound volume for entire iTunes library

Hey peeps, this might sound like a stupid question to ask, but here goes...
I regularly amend the volume of individual albums by selecting all the desired songs in iTunes and turning the sound volume up in Options.
I want to amend the sound limit of every single song in my iTunes library to +100%. Is there an easy way to do this without cmd+ clicking each song? I have over 12,000 songs. I want to know if there is anyway this can be done in Preferences, or if there is a way to scroll and select songs quickly!
Many thanks to anyone with any ideas!

Click on the first song in your library to highlight it then go to Edit>Select All. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info to access the Options tab for the whole selection.

Some of the home videos added to iTunes library have no sound although they play on quicktime player from my windows libraries. Any suggestions?

I have added some home videos to my iTunes library and there is no sound on them. The files are .MOV (film file) from my olympus camera and play perfectly OK with QuickTime player from the Windows library and from the iTunes media library. I am using Windows 8.1 and iTunes 12.1.1.4. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem please?

Dont worry, I found a handy little tool that I think anyone who has any problems with ipod video should try. Its in Japanese, but just set the language to english, its pretty obvious. http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=3GP_Converter

Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into" my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad. But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music?
2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

Why do all songs in itunes library stop playing. won't play again unless i exit itunes and restart it., why do all songs in itunes library stop playing. won't play again unless i exit itunes and restart it.

I open the itunes library on the computer and start listening to a song. Halfway through it stops playing. From that point on no other songs can be played. I have to close down itunes and reopen it again in order to play another song. In this state, i can still upload songs/sync my ipod and all the songs play successfully on the ipod.
What do i need to do to fix this problem with the computer?
I have window 8.
I have uninstalled and re-installed itunes. I have updated itunes. I already checked to see if the firewalls were blocking..they aren't.
What is left to do?
