Swipe between iTunes library and iTunes store

I don't know how I did it...but the other day I was swiping between my iTunes library and the store.  I find a song, swipe to my library and see if I had it, swipe back to the store to buy or look at another song. 
How did I do this??
Thanks.

You can do this by double-clicking on the store to open it in a separate window.  Use Lion's mission control and drag the store window to it's own desktop.  Then you can swipe back and forth between them with the magic mouse or a trackpad using a two-fingered swipe.

  • Why am i getting an error message saying new itunes library and itunes wont start up

    every time i try to start up itunes an error message comes up saying new itunes library and itunes wont start up. I have no idea why this has happened as I havent used itunes in ages and havent knowingly changed anything since. does anyone have any ideas what the problem is. the last software update i got was in december

    Go into the Control Panel for progams and try to repair the iTunes installation, or remove it and then reinstall.

  • Toggling Between iTunes Library and Music Store

    Does anyone know if there's a way to toggle between the Music Store and the most recent view in your iTunes Library? For example, if my current Library view is of a particular Artist, then I go to the Music Store, when I return to the Library, the display defaults to All Genres, All Artists, All Albums.

    Try double clicking the music store to open it in a new window. You can do the same for any playlists etc. In seperate windows, they won't affect one another.

  • Discrepancy between iTunes Library and iTunes music library in Finder

    iTunes is reporting that I have 2313 files @ 13.96GB
    but when im looking at the iTunes music folder within Finder(username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music, Finder reports that I've got 4400 files @ 20.13GB
    iTunes is set to control my library at that folder.
    What's going on here...?
    This is all under osx 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.2
    Thanks

    The stats at the bottom of the screen when you look at the Music section of your library are just for music, there are separate totals for Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Audiobooks, Applications & Ringtones. When you look at *iTunes\iTunes Music* in Finder this will contain all the files from all the sections. It is also possible that you have at some point deleted files from iTunes without deleting them from the hard disk or manually placed files within the iTunes Music folders and then neglected to import them into iTunes. If you have any *iTunes LPs* these will count as a single file in the iTunes library but typically contain 100s of individual files (html, artwork, scripts etc.). I don't know about Macs, but on a PC if the library is also accessed by Windows Media Player then there can be artwork placed in album folders adding to the file count shown in the operating system.
    In short there is no reason to expect the numbers & sizes to match. That said, it is still possible that there are files in your folders that are not in your library, and vice versa. The following from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes should help you check for any discpreancies:
    Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0 - Lists files in your music folder that are not in your library.
    List MIAs v1.2 - Lists files in your library that are not in your music folder.

  • Large iTunes Library and iTunes Match

    I have over 300 GBs of music in my iTunes library.  It is accessed from an external hard drive.  I would like to use iTunes Match, but hear it only allows 25,000 songs.  Any hope of them expanding this?  How do they determine the 25,000 that are used?

    I find it interesting that the Apple allows you be purchase music fro them but after you reach the 25,000 tune limit which supposedly, Apple does not admit to this, is due to an agreement between Apple and the music industry.
    Apple clearly states that there is a limit of 25K and that itunes store purchases do not count towards this limit.
    My itunes library is substantially over 25K but only 24,980 tracks are uploaded or matched. I have a large number of tracks that have an Icloud Status of "Removed"
    I achieved this by creating a second blank library - I signed into match and was able to view all tracks in iTunes Match.
    I then deleted some tracks from this library - effectively deleting tracks in the cloud.
    When I went back into my original library, those tracks were shown as "removed". iTunes Match will now ignore those tracks. You can now add new tracks provided you kept matched and uploaded less than 25k.
    If you keep your total below 25k you should be able to contue using Itunes Radio ad free.\

  • HUGE size difference b/t iTunes library and iTunes Music folder

    Why the huge disparity between the size iTunes reports for my music library and the size of the "iTunes Music Library" folder calculated by Finder?
    I'm trying to figure out how much space I actually use to see if I can cram my digital life into a 256 mb MacBook Air. At first, I thought it must be including mobile apps and videos, but those are in separate folders. Where is that extra 57 GB coming from?!?

    Right after I clicked "post," I noticed the "Movies" folder inside the iTunes Music Library folder. That accounts for 41.51 GB, but that still leaves another 15 or so that I'm still scratching my head over.

  • /itunes library and /itunes library.xml move

    Is it possible to move these files into the location where the actual music resides? Or does itunes always need these on the local drive where it is running? If it must be on the local drive, can I backup these 2 files and restore them without corrupting the database?

    This may be already implied but what I want to do is have some portions of my iTunes library in one location (on another drive) and other portions elsewhere. For example I want my music on my laptop for portability but I want my big space hog stuff like movies and tv shows and video podcasts on an external volume. Is it possible to locate TV Shows and Podcasts on another drive? how about a remote drive across a LAN? Does this method work for this?

  • Is it a MUST to have both itunes library and itunes music folder?

    I just noticed I have 22 GB of music in itunes library (itunes application) and also 22GB of music in itunes music folder. Do I need to have both folders active? What would happen if I delete all the music in itunes music folder? Should that delete all the songs in my itunes application?
    Thanks.

    The iTunes Library is a database file, it contains references to songs you've added to the library, their location on your hard drive, playlists, ratings etc. The library does not contain the actual song files. The iTunes Music Folder is the folder that contains the song and other media files. Deleting the folder that contains the songs would mean the the library couldn't locate them (because they would no longer exist) and there would be nothing to play. The iTunes application (the actual program) resides in your Applications folder. You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?

  • I store my itunes library on an external drive shared between 2 computers and itunes on computer A isn't seeing or showing the songs I added using itunes on computer B.

    I store my itunes library on an external drive shared between 2 computers and itunes on computer A isn't seeing or showing the songs I added using itunes on computer B. How to fix this?

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

  • ITunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

    My itunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music, what should I do to combine them? I would like all my iTunes stuff to be in one, organized, location.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
    Somehow it seems you've also managed to get both an iTunes Music and an iTunes Media folder. I'd recommend you make sure the media folder preference is set to iTunes Media before you continue...
    Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
    1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is greyed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
    2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organised outside the designated media folder into it. NB This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards. If space is at a premium try my scripts Unconsolidated to find out what would need moving and ConsolidatebyMoving to move rather than copy it.
    3. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
    4. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
    5. (Optional) Close iTunes, rename the folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename. (Not relevant in this instance).  
    6. (Optional - Windows only) If Windows Media Player has ever had access to your files it may have liberally scattered folder artwork files about which iTunes won't tidy up when it reorganizes things, thus leaving behind a heap of folders with artwork and no media. I've written a script for cleaning this mess up called CleanDeadArt.
    PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then edit the file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.

  • Discrepancy between iTunes library and synced iPod song list

    I am sure there must be a really simple answer to this, but heck if I know.
    My iTunes library on my PC has 1614 songs, yet despite my iPod being sync'd, my song list shows only 1588 songs.
    So, 25 tracks have not loaded - why is this? Surely there should be exactly the same number of tracks in my song list?
    H E L P - its driving me mad.

    I have a 24 track difference between my itunes library and my song list in my synced ipod. Really bugging me as I don't know why - have ensured all songs are checked, but still no answer. Where are the missing 24 songs?
    Surely someone out there must know the answer - HELP!

  • How do I share iTunes Library and Playlists

    I had a desktop mac with 2 login accounts, we enjoy having our own spaces, mail, desktops, prefs, etc.. but we do not wish to duplicate nor keep either one out of our digital assests, ie music, photos, etc..
    I used to have an alias to the other users itunes library and all was fine. He is the predominant music purchaser in the house and I have full access to even his latest purchases.
    Upon buying a new machine, 1.66GHz duo core mini we seem to have lost this ability. If I make an alias now, when I launch itunes it says cannot find the folder itunes, it seems to now know its a folder it must find and not an alias to one. I have read ideas about sharing and fast user switching, not really the solution I am looking for or used to have. I think many couples find themselves in a similar situation. Seems silly that we now have to be logged in one side to play/stream music in the house and make sure we are logged into the other side whenever we connect the digital camera.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
