Viewing stored songs in iTunes

I just sent my Macbook for repair and the HD was replaced, when I connected my ipod I was not able to view all the songs previously stored in the iTunes Library and I am not able to update my ipod after I imported new songs from CDs.

My music videos work now!!
I found this link and followed the steps given, and they were a great help. Hope they can help you too!

How can I view duplicate songs in iTunes 11?

How can I view duplicate songs in iTunes 11?

If needed press ctrl-b to reveal the menu bar. Use Shift-View > Show Exact Duplicates to reveal the duplicates. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

Viewing Current Song in iTunes 10?

Is there a command for iTunes to show you the song that's currently playing (show it highlighted in a visible list in the browser window)? Suppose it's on shuffle and you are separately doing stuff in iTunes like making a different playlist. Can you somehow say, "hey, get me back to the current song and show me what it is"?

From iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts (in the Help menu):
Show where a song file is located
Shift-Command-R
Show the currently playing song in the list
Command-L

Is there a way to make YouTube download my selection completely before playing (like you can do with songs on iTunes)? I'm getting sick of start and stop during viewing!!

Apparently I typed my entire question into the subject line without knowing what I was doing!
I want to FULLY download selections from YouTube before attempting to view them. Just like you can select to fully download the samples of songs from iTunes. I am sick of the **** YouTube video going in and out, especially when I'm also downloading something else at the same time!
Please tell me how to set this 'preference,' if there is a way!
Thanks !

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

ITunes crashes when viewing purchased songs on iPod Touch 4g, ios 6.1.3

Hi. I purchased some songs in iTunes, then purchased a new iPod Touch 4g. On it, I opened the iTunes app to attempt to download my song I purchased. I went to purchased > songs > all, and then it opened an almost empty screen. It remained open for 30-60s, and then the app crashed. I cannot use iTunes on a computer. Can someone help, please?

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.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in.
- 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.

Is it possible to reference songs in iTunes?

I'm wondering if it is somehow possible (and if so advisable, or not) to reference certain songs in my iTunes Library. I'm a Aperture user, and it has a wonderful feature that allows you to keep certain images "managed" in the Aperture Library and others "referenced" in another location of your choice. I keep most of my images referenced on an external hard drive to keep the size of my Library on the internal drive down. The only images I keep managed are the ones I need to view while I'm away from home (and thus the external drive).
In iTunes, I want certain songs on my internal drive to be able to travel with, and other songs that I don't listen to as much still available as referenced songs that could be pulled from an external drive when available. I don't want to delete the songs and their data, but don't listen to them enough to warrant the space they'd take up on my internal drive.
If this isn't possible, is there another solution to achieve what I am looking to do? I guess I could create a separate Library and store that Library on an external drive, but is there a way to migrate those (and only those) songs to that Library? If so, would I lose the data I've associated with them, as well as play counts, etc..?

Limnos,
I don't really want to make things messy, so I'll probably just leave things as they are and maybe delete some tracks after first archiving them.
Before posting this, I had tried something and something odd happened. I was wondering if you had any ideas on it. This is what I did: I went to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and changed the iTunes Media Folder location. I changed it to a destination on one of my external drives. Upon doing this, it brought me to the iTunes Music Folder in the iTunes Folder. It gave me the option to "Cancel" or "Open". Since it didn't seem like I wanted to change the location to that spot, I chose a different place (again, the destination on my external drive). After doing that, I clicked "Open". A new folder was created in that new spot, but nothing was moved there. I fugured that maybe this was the location where anything and everything new would go to be stored. This wasn't what I was looking to do, so I went back and clicked "Reset" in the Advanced pane. Upon doing this, a small window popped up and it looked like things were quickly be copied or moved. I couldn't really tell what was happening because it was doing it too quickly.
In any case, the bottom line is, after this was complete, I noticed that I had freed up 30GB of space on my internal HDD. I don't think I lost anything, as I have been scrutinizing my music collection, but the whole event (and result) seem very odd to me.
The other important bit of information here is that before doing this, I did delete my Podcasts, my Movies, and everything in my iTunes U. When I had done this originally, I noticed that I gained free space on my HDD (which was my goal). I'm not sure if by doing what I did with the Library afterwards had something to do with freeing up even more space. Perhaps it is possible that info regarding those files was somehow still stored in my iTunes Library even though the media folders had been removed?
Do you have any ideas on what could have happened?

Importing songs to itunes folder from dvd's

i have a data dvd backup of all my 1400 songs from itunes folder. i tried to import it into a newly dowloaded version of itunes on my laptop with new hard drive.. it placed all the song info in the library, so i connected my ipod and directed it to this new library. it updated ipod successfully. but when i tried to play, i realized that i had only imported the song titles, etc. into itunes folder and subsequently onto ipod.. and because i directed to this "new" library, i lost all 1400 songs on the ipod.. pls help. how do i get my music from data dvd backup to library and to ipod. and do i have to import each song separately.. there are like 25 different folders on the dvd of albums, and downloads from itunes store....i just want what i had before my hard drive died. forgive me if i didn't post this right, my first time...

Note - You don't need to copy them to the HD first,
as btabz suggested.
There are different ways to import music. You can copy them (the music files) onto the HD wherever you want and then import into iTunes, or have iTunes import directly off the DVD and put the files in the iTunes Music Folder. Both ways get the music into iTunes and stored on your HD. It depends if you want the music in the iTunes Music folder or not. With the way I suggested, the music is placed where you want, instead of having iTunes put it where it wants.
Both ways will work fine though.

Error messages on songs in itunes/match relating to files not found.

I subscribe to itunes match. When highlighting certain songs in itunes where a cloud symbol has appeared next to them, I get the following message "the song................could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" If I press the locate button it takes me to windows file search screen, but if I cancel it finds the song and an arrow appears at the base of the cloud symbol. If I click this the whole cloud symbol eventually disappears and problem seems resolved. ie it plays when highlighted and can be dragged and dropped onto my ipod. On other songs the cloud symbol appears next to them but with an exclamation mark in it and "Error" in the icloud status column (Whereas "matched" appears next to the others). I get the same message as before and if I cancel the song is found. The difference is that when I click on the cloud symbol, I get the message "The item was not added to the iCloud as an error occurred", the exclamation mark reappears, "error" remains in the icloud status column and I have to go through the whole process again if I high light the song again. I cannot drag it onto my ipod.
I manually manage my music and am preparing to revert to syncing. I have many playlists in itunes and looking through them there is a scattering of these cloud symbols throughout against random songs. The clear symbols I can alter as above (though it will take ages) but the ones with the - ! - mark in the cloud symbol next to them will not (I think) sync and go over to my ipod. I have in excess of 10,000 songs - 99.9% from my cd collection. Itunes match appears to have created havoc with them and it is frustrating not to be able to access songs that are originally mine.
I hope this is clear and can anyone help please?

First, you need to let the inital scan, match and upload process in iTunes complete before you enable the service on your iOS devices. This is the best practice. Once the initial scan is complete then all the music will be availabe on the iOS devices.
Second, in Song view in iTunes enable the iCloud Status column so you can see how the service has classified all the music in your library. If successfully processed all the tracks shoud be either "purchased," "matched," or "uploaded." Any other status indicates a problem with that track that will need to be sorted out, and it won't be availble on the iOS devices.
Third, be patient with the artwork. It can take some time for all the artwork to download to the iOS devices. It isn't instant. But eventually all the artwork will show up.

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
Kind Regards

Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

Hello all.
I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
(a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
(b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
(c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
(I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
1) Anyone else have this problem?
2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
3) Anyone know a solution?
(FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
Thanks.
(Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
(Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
(I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
[Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]
====
UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).
# Source Mozilla #Songs Result
1 CD Closed 1 OK
2 iTunes Closed 1 OK
3 Amazon Open 2 OK
4 iTunes Open 1 FAIL
5 Amazon Open 1 OK
6 iTunes Closed 1 OK
7 Amazon Open 2 OK
8 iTunes Open 2 OK
(I reported this to SS. Hoping they'll test and find the problem.)
