Various questions related to itunes that was not able to see around

well...i will try to be quick and as clear as possible
1) i have a macbook, where i download podcasts and i use it to listen to my collection of music, saved on an external drive....now i have no more space there, so i was thinking to move on external drive so i can access to the podcasts and the other contents from my mac pro and from the macbook; and i wonder: is there a way to do that? because when i moved the files i lost all the info related to the podcasts, so even if i ahve the file on teh computer, the podcast page was telling me that the file was not there and was asking to download it)
2) i have stuff that i bought on itunes, but since i format and reinstalled the OS on my computers, it consider them as different computers, so now i can't move anymore my files because each file was authorized to teh maximum number...is there a way to avoid this issue that, more that protecting the music from thief, is ******* off people that bought the music and videos (i was tempted to buy the mp3 from russian sites and pay them 3 bucks for each album, without protection).
3) informations of the MP3: basically what itunes did, was to rename the files itself, instead of simply create a dir and rename the ID tags of the file, so i have basically lost the author and the song name (was in the name, that now is track_1.mp3 in the unknown artist folder); so just as suggestion...please include an option to overwrite only the ID tags and not touch the filename (like windows media player does).
4) covers: many of the albums that i own, are ripped from my cd's, adn they are not sold on itunes, so i have no cover for them....why Apple does not include a server where the users can upload their covers and album info, so other people can get these info (something like a music database used, again, by WM player) even if they are not sold on itunes? since itunes is a multimedia player, before being a money machine for ipod owners; so i would expect the software more user oriented, isntead of being store oriented (sorry, we don't sell it so is your problem to find the info of the id tag and the cover); otherwise i do not really have a reason to use itunes, since i own a creative player and wmp works just fine...but i need to load parallels every time that i wanna listen music, and that is insane! (i do not want an ipod, since all my files came from pc, and unless DIVX and WMV became supported formats i will not buy an ipod)
If somebody can help me would really appreciate; and if some itunes people can read this would also be great, so you understand that unless you care only about who has an ipod, other people want to use itunes for their files and videos and buy music and other stuff, but they also want to be able to live without dealing with an ipod and with minor flaws in the software
Thanks!

Thanks Pascal for the reply.
1) i found a way to trick the itunes: basically you keep the library in one place, then you make a mirrored folder on an external drive (you need to buy a software, since, for reason unknown to the ordinary mortal people, Mac OS does not have sync folders like Windows), in this way, when you add or remove or rate songs, the library on one computer will be updated with the info on the other one, and both will have the same informations.... so you can have the same library on the home computer, at work and on your laptop
Maybe somebody at itunes will read this and will figure out to implement something like this in the new build, because nobody has one computer and keep the library in one place... not the majority of the people.
2) need to do that
3)thanks anyway
4) seems that the best solution is to download the artworks using WMP, so you can have also the mp3 tags filled with the right info, then you move on itunes and get teh artworks images that WMP saved and import them into itunes.
In this way you have either the artworks and the id tags that are correct.

    Adv thanks and regards to all

    >> Is the BPM must start with receive step ? why? or i can start with any step ?
    Not necessarily. If receive is not your first step, it should be the first step with in a loop. Means a loop can be the first step.
    From SAP help : <i>Insert the receive step to start a process as the first step of the process or as the first step of a fork, a block, or a loop</i>
    But since the receive step starts the IP, it should be present with in the loop as the first step.
    >>) how to set up the Adapter Specific Parameters ? Where ? Why ? explain
    Sender cc -->ID. Check the check box "Adapter specifc Identifiers"
    >>How to upgrade the XI 3.0 form sp 17 to sp 19? step by step expalin in detail?
    I guess this is more of a Tech consultant's job than a Developers'.
    >>Performace?
    You can use the Performance monitoring option in RWB. If you find the performance too low, you can check for any running BPM instances(for days with out proper correlation) and end them. Try increasing the throughput ie. if a large amount of data is processed over a small time and the rest of the time your XI is idle. You can try to minimize such conditions.

  • I did everything lllaass suggested and removed most of the itunes related components, but when I tried to remove itunes, I got the message, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" so I was not able to uninstall it.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can I transfer music that is only on my iPad that WAS NOT purchased from iTunes to my iTunes account on new computer?

    I've had my iPad 2 for about four years now and I can tell that the interface is being very slow and that the screen does not always react when I tap on it, meaning I may have to get a new one sooner or later.
    My biggest problem is that on my iPad, I have all of the Beatles' CDs, some of which are from my own personal copies and some are from my former local public library. Ever Since I copied all these CDs onto my iPad, I've moved to a new state and got a new laptop, thus starting with an iTunes account that only has music I purchased from the iTunes Store on it, and no Beatles. The local libraries where I live now do not offer any CDs for borrowing, so I have no way of getting some of the CDs I don't own for free. I really do not want to purchase a bunch of albums from iTunes, as well.
    Is there any way to get the Beatles music that is only on my iPad that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iTunes account without removing it from my iPad? Thanks for your help!

    Then the latter part of my first reply which is repeated here:
    - If you follow these instructions the iPod will be updated when the instructions say to restore.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

  • If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos?  This was before icloud was available, can you reset your password?

    If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos off of it?  This was before Icloud was available.  Can you reset your itunes password somehow?

    iTunes and the iTunes Store won't have anything to do with your photos. Those would be stored only on your laptop unless you made a backup of some sort. If you didn't, and the hard drive in your laptop has failed, then your photos are gone unless you wish to pay a disk recovery service a lot of money to try and get them back.
    As to your music, if you purchased it from the iTunes Store you can probably re-download it. Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

  • ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

    I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

    I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
    I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

  • TS3694 I was not able to complete my update because of a unknown error code . What does that mean

    what does code  mean. I was not able to complete my update

    Hey norman184,
    Thanks for the question. I see you came from the most relevant article, so you are definitely on the right track. Here is what I found in regards to error 6:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    1. Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    2. There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    3. Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    4. Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    5. Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    6. Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    7. Restore using a different computer.

    lov2bugu, you said things the exact way I wanted to express them! It was like watching me talking to a SONY’s CEO.
    I don’t really think they are not aware of the problems. SONY used to be the 27th largest company in the world, according to Forbes. They are now at the 456th place!!
    They are aware of their problems and I think, the move to buy the remaining stocks from Ericsson, is a move to bounce back into the market. They found the right time, where the stock is too low and the economics around the globe don’t  look promising enough. I have to recognize them, all the bad phases they went into this year … hacking attack, loss of their factory in London, global economic climate etc.
    But these are not excuses good enough not to produce quality, reliable and technologically advanced goods. I think that SONY is not to blame for the bad course SE has had. I think this is what SONY wants to revert. They want to “embody” all their technology … BRAVIA engines (TV Tech), Walkman and Cybershot tech (using Carl Zeiss lenses), VAIO (Comp tech) and finally PS3. Ericsson tried to integrate them, unsuccessfully.
    Overall, I thing SONY, did not have or did not attempt to have the control of SE, hence, the answer you got back from SONY “… anything related to SE must be posted on the website of SE”. I think they will bounce. Just give ‘em some time. I’m willing to give them time, but not too much though. Just because I’ve always loved this brand!

  • I have to pay for something that was not my fault, nor Verizon's fault, but is an act of God/nature.  Why is that?

    As I stated above, "I have to pay for something that was not my fault, nor Verizon's fault, but is an act of God/nature.  Why is that?"  I had a hard time keeping my phone charged at one time, so I called/visited my local retailer of Verizon, and they ordered me a new battery (first step after cleaning my phone. Not like it was dirty anyways). Got a new battery, put it in, still same problem.  Would not charge...boo! So, I bring it back, and they order me a replacement phone, since it "is still under warranty, and insured".  When I first brought my phone in, the young lady said, "That is why it is not charging; it was the charger port, that is why it was not charging. It is as loose as a goose" So, that is why she ordered me a new one. 
         So, get the new phone, put "new battery" back in.  All is good, all of what, 2 maybe 3 weeks later.  Now it is doing the same thing again. Checked the charging port, it is fine.  Bring it in, to the store, and questioned the young man behind the desk, and find out why I was charged the $299.95(+taxes & s/h). He said, "it was because the old phone was because there was "corrosion" around the port."  Of course, there was not a single note of it being loose.  He continued, and said it was because it was there had to be a time where you spilled something on it, even if it was a drop of any kind of liquid. Or, you/ or someone else, had it in the shower with them."  (Really, a drop of liquid, or taking the phone with me in the shower?)  How I could I get a "drop" of liquid in it, if I had an Otter-box on it, or why would I take it in the shower with me?  I admit, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but, really? Come on now!
         Since, I have to now pay for it, I am kind ‘a wondering if anyone else has, or had the same problem with their phone (s).  My wife has the same phone and she has not had this same problem.  Makes me wonder.  Since, my phone is doing this again, if it is something that I am doing wrong with it or not.  So, now they have ordered me a new battery, and we will see if this will be a new fix, or "good bye to Verizon."  Any comments, or suggestions, please email wife and me, and let me know. Thanks and God bless.

    Don't really see how this would be an act of God/nature.
    Regardless, are you saying Verizon should have to pay for those, though?

    Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • 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.
