This is silly: iTunes duplicating newly added music in lib? O.o

Just adding some new albums to my main library and every file copied twice and gets duplicated. From new location, brand new files been added, still dubplicating. What the ... ? Tell me something smart please... :\

Unfortunetally the only way you can listen to music on an Apple TV is via iTunes Match or using iTunes Home Sharing, as ATV is not a storage device, but is a streaming device. It will show up, but only using iTunes Home Sharing.
Let me know if this answers your question,

HT1751 if i back up my itunes library to an external hard drive and then add subsequent music and want to back that up a few days later, can i backup the only newly added music without backing up the entire library again?

hello,
if i back up my itunes library to an external hard drive and then add subsequent music and want to back up the newly added music a few days later, can i do it without backing up the entire library again? or do i need to back up the entire library each and every time i back up to the external hard drive?

Just copy Users/yourusername/Music/iTunes (containing your library-files) to your external drive as well as that (extaernal) folder that contains all your audio-tracks.

Synching iTunes/iPhone - newly added songs

Hello,
Not sure if there is a way but when I add new music to iTunes is there a way to make my iPhone recognize the newly added music and just add those?
thanks

Hi there,
This is definitely possible. Take a look at the section titled "Syncing Automatically" in the article below for more information.

Newly added music problem

I have a problem in the "newly added" playlist in Walkman. Whenever I open the newly added playlist after my phone is plugged in to my computer, the playlist shows older songs instead of the latest songs copied to my SD card.
Anyway, I am using Xperia SP. But this problem also occured on my Xperia Go with Jelly Bean update, so I think it's the software problem. Can anybody here give me the solution? I have tried to clear the data of the Walkman app but that doesn't help. Thanks.

How are you transferring your music to your phone? Are you using any program or do you simply copy and paste the files through the file explorer? Do you experience the same behavior if you move the music to the internal storage?
What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

I keep getting errors when iTunes uploads newly-imported music to iCloud through iTunes Match. Is there something that needs to be corrected when importing my music?

Here is the what the message window says when I click on the iCloud symbol with an exclamation point:
"This item was not added to iCloud because an error occurred."
It happens erratically. I thought it was my computer at home (a PC), so I tried importing the music on my work computer (an iMac).
It happens on both, and the same songs. Sometimes it's up to half of the songs on a CD.
I can't figure out why it's doing this.

Sounds like your library database may be being corrupted. With iTunes 11 an "empty" library will show the previous purchases of the account that is currently signed in. To prevent this go to iTunes Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Have you actually checked the hard drive to see if the media is still present? Chances are you need to restore an older library file in the way set out below...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
The images are from Windows XP, but the principle is the same. Depending on the age of you library the library file may not include the .itl extension.

ITunes freezes when adding music file from smb share

As title states, if I try to add more than 15/20 files to iTunes, it freezes and there's no turning back.
All my music is stored on my home-server (running Gentoo/Linux) and I have always used it with success until iTunes 10 came out.
The only thing I can do is to unmount the remote directory, open iTunes and remove the music.
I've already tried to upgrade to v10.0.1 but no luck so far.
Any clue?
Thank you

This has gotten to be a real problem for me as well. It freezes for about 40 seconds for each song I add. It even comes up as "not responding" at times in the force quit dialogue box. I rolled back to iTunes 9.2.1 as described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603684&tstart=0
Others have reported this fixing the problem, but it has NOT fixed it for me. I have my media on an SMB share and my library files were on the local hard drive. I tried moving the library files over to the SMB share, but it didn't improve anything.
I've been using "Activity Monitor" to look at what's going on and there's minimal CPU usage. But I am noticing something odd: the "Reads in" and "Writes out" figures are pretty much the same, which is what I would expect as I'm copying song files from my internal HD to the SMB share. But the "Data read" and "Data written" figures are very different. It's reading over twice as much data as it's writing. Either I'm misunderstanding what I'm looking at or something isn't right here. Anyone with more technical chops care to jump in?
I'd post a picture, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.
I'm also wondering if there are corrupted plist files or other invisible files that can be deleted and rebuilt? I used "Filebuddy" to unhide the files and found a file in the iTunes folder called "sentinel". Anyone know what that is?

Added new internal drive, move music to this drive need itunes to find the music

Has anyone added an internal drive so that your music lib can expand.
I am unable to get itune to find the files on new drive.

I have the exact same problem only I haven't even moved my files iTunes just can't locate any of my songs and I've went through every single song and located them and it still asks for the song to located. It seems like maybe mac has just as many problems as microsoft

How do I get iTunes to auto-create a folder for newly added music?

I used to add files into a new folder (literally named "New Folder"), play the songs from the folder (not iTunes), and iTunes would create a new folder appropriate for the artist and album, moving the songs to that new folder. Anyone know how to turn this feature on?

This feature is usually called "Watch Folders", and iTunes doesn't have anything like that.

I lost my library of music from itunes when I was syncing newly added music to my ipod

I lost my music after upgrading Itunes software. When I tried to import new music to itunes and sync it with my ipod nano, I lost my enter music
library minus the new music. Is there anyway to get my music back? I have not backed it up.
Thanks

See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

ITunes deletes recently added music

Help! This morning when i opened iTunes all the music i'd uplaoded in the past three days had been deleted as well as the Recently Added playlist, the Top 25 playlist and all other playlists I had made. Does anyone know what went wrong or how to fix it?

Have the tunes themselves actually been deleted or just their reference from the Library? Did you check the trash?

Just upgraded to Snow Leopard - iTunes crashes when adding music

Hey all,
Earlier today I upgraded my mac from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and ran updates. I have iTunes 9.0.2 installed and my itunes library backed up on an external HDD. So I copy my library back to the itunes folder on the new install (Did a complete wipe and new install not an upgrade or anything) and then added the itunes folder in (approx 5000 songs).
It then crashes my whole PC while 'Determining Gapless Playback'. So I press the little X to cancel that and iTunes works but is really laggy and slow.
Then iTunes started freezing my Mac on startup which is just annoying! I then decided to add my library gradually. I managed to add all the 'A's 'B's and allowed it to run the gapless playback stuff and album art stuff inbetween. I then got to the 'C's and it froze on 202 of 235 songs.
I am really baffled as to why it is doing this, and my only thoughts are that either there is an Issue with iTunes and snow leopard, or my hard drive is on the way out?
Any help/thoughts most appreciated

Think I possibly have corrupted files in my library as I have successfully transfered all my purchases from my iphone back into itunes, so think I will just need to re-import all of my CD's at some point

ITunes duplicating all my music?

Hello,
When I first got my Mac, I put about 75GB of music into the documents folder from my old computer, I then dragged it all into iTunes so I could sync with my iOS devices. However, I've just noticed that the music is stored in documents (where I put it) and in \music\iTunes
Is there any way of having just one copy of all the music? At the moment it's a complete waste of 75GB.
Thanks

Yes, you should be able to delete all 75 GB of songs from Documents without encountering any issues. When you drag the songs into iTunes, it copies the files into Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music so all your songs are in one place. You can then safely delete them from the original location.
But before you do that, make sure that is what will happen. Look through Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music and make sure all your songs are there. Open iTunes, right click a song, choose Get Info, click the Summary tab and note the location of the file. All your songs should be in Music/iTunes... rather than Documents.
If you find you have some in the Music > iTunes... folder and some in the Documents folder, you can choose File > Library > Organize Library, then check the option to "Consolidate files." Once that is finished, you can delete all songs that lie outside of the Music/iTunes folder.
Let me know if that works for you.

ITunes Crashing When Adding Music?

Hey everyone
I updated my itunes to the latest 10.6.7 but everytime i add files it always crashes. Heres the error that always comes up
No matter how i add them (drag and drop or opening a file itunes) it always crashes... in the photo above i tried to downgrade itunes to 10.5.3 and the error still came up, so no matter what itunes version it is the error comes up. Is it my computer?? My computer was just updated 3 days ago
I need help please!
Thanks

Looks like this is a pretty pervasive issue - noticed that there were a lot of discussion threads on the web regarding this rather cryptic error effecting a whole host of OS X applications.
In the end, I had to re-install everything on my OS X Server. ITunes and all other app's are working well now (fingers crossed). No idea what went wrong with my earlier install... here is to hoping that someone figures this issue out or better still that Apple fixes this potential "Feature".

IPod touch 4th gen will not sync newly added music, why?

I uploaded all my CDs to iTunes and it will not sync to my iPod. What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this?

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)
