What to do with old itunes downloads I no longer want?

I mean if they were old CD's I no loner wanted they could either be sold on or given away...
The issue is this; i have about 5 or 6 tunes i brought from iTunes that i no longer want! do i just delete them or is there a way i can exchange them for some new tunes? Their about 6 or 7 years old, a couple are the first wrong mixes i brought off iTunes! before i found the preview button. I would like to know what my option are here... There is no way i want them in my Library...
Thanks

Let's face it - buying music is cheaper now than it ever has been. Yes, really!
I'm old enough to remember how much I paid for my first ever:
Single - (a seven inch vinyl record).
LP - (Album, or twelve inch vinyl record)
CD
In 1967, (in the UK) the price I paid for my first three 7" singles would have got me 60 Mars Bars (a UK chocolate bar).
In 2014, (in the UK) the price I now pay for three MP3 tracks will get me just five Mars Bars
Just as well that I don't like chocolate anymore...
Oh! and that first LP cost the same as 120 Mars Bars (costs had gone up a little). Today, the price of a full digital album typically gets me just 20 Mars Bars!

However lets not forget that there are still Markets, Communities and even Trade Fairs that revolve around secondhand music; so there not attached to LP's... The main point I leave with here is not having an aftermarket value just depreciates a downloads overrule value..
It's debatable whether a lack of second hand market (sorry, it's still "second hand" not aftermarket) for digital music reduces the value of the original. (Personally, I suspect it doesn't. People don't "treasure" their music as much as they used to, many regard their digital downloads as disposable.) But let's face it, the music industry (read, the record labels) have never been that smart about the technology their business relies upon, so why would they think to care about the second hand market? And as for the musicians who loudly protested (in the past) on behalf of the record companies, they couldn't have made a worse job of it if they had tried.
Actually, what's really funny is your attempt at deleting the digital music:
i did just delete them but since the introduction of icloud i keep finding them in my Library
The ultimate horror story...

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and yawl post the the download again. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. What up?

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs. I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync. Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone. What's up? What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

The Firefox versions which come with many Linux distros have the default Mozilla Firefox updater disabled and use the distros built-in updater.

What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?

New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of earlier purchases say they are not "authorized" on this computer even though the bulk of my library works-- this is only about 5% of the total but were all purchased 9/18/2008 or before?

New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Two words, Migration Assistant. It will transfer files between two Macs using a firewire cable automagically.

Three words, Target Disk Mode. Use a firewire cable to connect two Macs and then hold down the T key when you boot the Mac you want to transfer files from, G4 Tower. It will appear as a hard drive on the desktop of your Macbook Pro. Then you can just drag and drop the whole folder.

What's wrong with old applet tag?

Hi there,
What is wrong with old <applet> tag? It will stop displaying java applet in the new browsers? What do we gain by using <embed>?
Thanks.
Mike

The applet element was deprecated in HTML 4.01 but still works. Continue to use it to display AWT applets in NE else if using SWING applets must to use EMBED. See Java documentation for details, in special the OBJECT tag chapter..better reading about HTML converter.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

"The iphone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTune's library?" error message.

I have an iPhone 3GS and have never added any music to the device as I had an iPod. The iPhone and iPod are hooked up to the same computer and same iTunes account. My iPod recently broke and now I am trying to add some of my music to the iPhone but I get a message that says: The iphone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTune's library?
I have never had the iPhone hooked up to another iTunes account. I don't want to accept and say yes and lose all the info on my iPhone.
Any tips or recomme

I'm having the same problem after upgrading my iPhone 3Gs to iOS 5 (and upgrading iTunes to 10.5). I noticed after doing this the ring tone I was using for incoming calls was no longer on the phone. Before the upgrade I was syncing ringtones with iTunes without problems. My contacts and apps still still sync as before, but when I try to enable syncing for ring tones in iTunes, I get the message reported at the beginning of this thread. Any risk of losing anything if I go ahead and enable ring tone syncing? The message is definitely misleading.

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

What to do with phoney iTunes gift cert Zip File? (After I opened it)

I foolishly opened the Zip file that came along with an email claiming to be an iTunes gift certificate (iT6561.zip).
I trashed the attachment, and emptied the trash. when I recognized my mistake. But, because i opened it first, I'm worried the next time I open iTunes, my iTunes account information will be stolen.
How do I get rid of the, now unzipped file that is lurking around in my system? (A spotlight search doesn't locate it). How do protect my iTunes account info next ime I open iTunes?
If this should be in a different discussio, please let me know where it should.
Any help is appreciated.

The tunes that are on the desk top - will they play in iTunes without moving them OR do you get the (!)?
The thing to be aware of it that the iTunes Library and the iTunes Music Library.xml are what keeps track things for iTunes and other apps. These files by default are in HD>user>User Account>Music>iTunes. If they get moved then iTunes will create 2 new files and all you old info is gone.
If you are getting the you can try to put the tunes that are on the desktop back into the iTunes Music folder and see if iTunes will find them again.
If not, then you need to add those tunes that are on the desktop - but not in library. Once ALL the tunes are in one place then you should be able to delete the extras.
Don't delete the purchased tunes without having a backup of those tunes. iTMS is clear about the download policy. It is a one time download.

What to do with extra itunes folder after transfer

I just tranferred my itunes library from my old pc to my new mac using my ipod as a hard drive. I followed the directions apple gives on it's website (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173).
I already had a bit of music on my new computer so i had to consilidate this library and transfer it to the desktop like the website says. I also added this folder back to my library.
The problem is now what do i do with my itunes folder sitting on my desktop (the one with the songs that were already on my new computer)? The website does not say. I do not want to delete it because the songs in this folder are not in the itunes folder that is now in my music folder (the itunes folder i transferred over).
Thanks.
