Selecting music from itunes

When selecting music from itunes for an iphoto slideshow (iphoto08), I am only able to select one song, even when I select and highlight multiple songs, only the last song in the highlighted list plays, and then repeats itself. How do I select multiple songs or an entire album -- albums are shown in the list, only the individual songs from the library? Thank you.

Thank you. Overlooking the obvious is a personal charateristic.

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • I have PURCHASED iTunes music on my iCloud account. The music appears on my iPhone. How do I get selected music from my iTunes on my iMac into the Cloud?

    I have PURCHASED iTunes music on my iCloud account. The music appears on my iPhone. How do I get selected music from my iTunes on my iMac into the Cloud?

    Sorry - not sure what you are asking. The Purchased music on your device is either on your device (i.e., downloaded to it), or it is not downloaded, in which case it is in iTunes in the Cloud. On your Mac, the same is true. Each device or machine may have different Purchases downloaded from iTunes in the Cloud.
    What is it that you are wanting to do?

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • How To Copy Selected Music From One Library to Another?

    What is the best way to copy selected music from one library to another?
    I have a big and growing iTunes library -- 33,000 songs.
    A year ago I copied my library to my daughter's new iMac.  Now, a year later, I'm off to visit her and wonder how best to update her library.  In the past year I have added a number of items to my library and I'm sure she has done the same -- some might be the same but many will be different.
    How do I update her library with the new things I've added in the past year but not wipe out things she had added or duplicate when we each have a song?
    I can load any / all of my stuff on an external HD and take that to plug in to her computer.  Then what?  I want to avoid duplicates and make sure I get stuff like album artwork.
    I'm running iTune 10.4 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 -- my daughter will have the same iTunes and OS X once we update her software.
    Any advice would be great.
    Thanks

    If you're sharing the same Apple ID and all your songs are from the iTunes Store, it's easy:
    In iTunes on your computer, go to File->Preferences->Store and check the box next to MUSIC under AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS.
    You should also read this article, the section titled TO DOWNLOAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED APPS, BOOKS, MUSIC, OR TV SHOWS TO YOUR COMPUTER:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    You could also use an rsync utility such as backuplist+ to perform a 2-way sync of the files in your two libraries while your computers are connected via FireWire with one of them in FireWire Target Disk Mode, or from your external hard drive with your daughter's computer and then to yours again. After that, you'll need to use iTunes on each computer to update its library with the new files:
    http://rdutoit.home.comcast.net/~rdutoit/pub/robsoft/pages/backup.html
    This last would also be the preferred method if you have authorized each other's computers for media purchased with each other's Apple IDs (i.e. you are not sharing the same Apple ID), or if you have music from sources other than the iTunes Store. Most likely, though, music from sources other than the iTunes Store would not be legal to copy in this way for this purpose, although there is probably no technical impediment.

  • As of today I can no longer delete music from iTunes.

    Hello friends!
    I can't seem to delete music from iTunes 10.(whatever the latest version is) or on my iPhone4. I just want to change what I have on my iPhone, but then I realized that it may be an issue with iTunes after I tried to delete something there.
    I only know of two ways to delete music. One is to select/ highlight want I want to delete and select the delete funtion in the edit part of the bar. The other is to do the Command D shortcut. Neither of these work as of today. Yesterday it did indeed work for I changed some stuff before work. 
    I am nothing of a techy sort. Here is some info, but it may be invalid.
    *I have an eMac running Leopard.
    *iTunes 10.4 (I think) last update a few days ago.
    *iPhone 4...updated today with the new updates.
    *I have my music saved on an external harddrive. I have the folder set up to put my library there.
    *Edit/ Delete doesn't work, neither does Command D.
    This is the only issue I've ever had. Any suggestions?

    It could be an issue with permissions on your system.
    I would suggest beginning your troubleshooting by running Disk Utility (In the applications--> utilities folder), and choosing "Repair Permissions".
    You should also check to see if the music has a little exclamation mark next to the song -- that means it isn't able to find your music, and you'll want to doubleclick the song to make sure it plays okay.
    Secondly I would suggest you run Disk Utility again and this time you run it on your external drive and select "Repair Disk".  That will check your external drive for problems.
    My guess is that your iTunes Music Library file inside your User folder--> Music folder is damaged.. but see where you get with the Disk utility repairs first and let us know!

  • Please Help Me. iPod Touch 5th generation will not download music from itunes

    My son has an IPod touch 5th generation that he got for Christmas (3 months old :(!  All of a sudden if he is on iTunes and buys a song it won't download. It will say its already been purchased but its not in downloads.  I have soft reset and now finally did the erase all data and settings.  When it started up and i signed into icloud everything started downloading but the music.  If I go into the iTunes app and hit purchased music I can see all the music but when I go to hit specific artists it sits and loads (circle is circling) and won't show me the individual song titles.  I'm sick to my stomach that the iPod is not fixable because I can't afford to buy my son a new one and I haven't finished paying this one off.  Can anyone help me please?   I can add music from iTunes on my computer directly to the iPod when plugged in. So I am assuming this means something is wrong with iPod.    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    First, don't obsess over it.  If, in fact, there is something wrong with the iPod, it's still in warranty.  Now, I don't know for certain what will fix this for you but here are some suggestions, beginning with one that's quick and easy.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

    How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

    Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

  • Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store"

    Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.

    What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

  • How do you move music from iTunes on a pc to ipad2

    How do you move music from iTunes on a pc to an ipad2?

    Connect your iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes under 'Devices'. On the right-hand side there should then be a series of tabs, one of which is Music - select that and you should be able to select which of your computer's iTunes music to sync to the Music app on the iPad, and then sync/apply that selection.
    This page refers specifically to the iPod and iPhone, but the principle is the same for the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

  • Iphoto '11 slideshow does not play music from iTunes

    I cannot get iPhoto Slideshow to play music from iTunes.  I read one suggestion to go to iTunes > File > Library > Organize Library > and select REORGANIZE library.  When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE. 
    Any suggestions on what I can do?

    When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
    Then your iTunes library is already organized according to the latest format. See this document on the organisation of the iTunes Library :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3847
    Sometimes the database files inside your iTunes Library can get corrupted.
    Try to rebuild the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" as described  here: 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25468
    I'm not sure if "Consolidate" can help in this situation - it will move all songs into your iTunes Library, so that they can be easier found, but not recreate the datbase files.

  • HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

  • Dragging music from itunes to finder...

    Hi all -
    When I select and drag a bunch of music from itunes to finder, it often fails to copy if I select too many files. For example, I may want to copy 400 songs to finder, and it will fail unless I do it in 50 song chunks.
    Very rarely it will work. Also, occasionally I will isolate a song that will not copy to finder no matter what.
    An ideas? Is there another way to copy the fles from a playlist - perhaps using the shell or applescript?
    Any advice apreciated!
    sA

    The problem is related to the file name.
    If you're trying to copy songs which have the same file name, copying fails (no message, nothing).
    You won't always be able to find the duplicate names using the 'Show Duplicate' command in iTunes, because the songs can belong to different artists.
    If the files names of different songs happens to be the same, copying will fail too.
    The copy command is directed to the Finder, but it will not warn you about duplicate file names. It just fails.
