Where is my music from itunes stored?

I am trying to locate on my computer where the music is which is on my itunes library?
I have looked in computer/C/users/username/mymusic/itunes/itunes media but only a small amount of my music (which is on itunes) is in there?
Sorry if this is worded badly.

The usual location for iTunes media is indeed <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media however you can set up iTunes so that you can add in media stored in other locations such as an external drive. Check the setting under Edit > Preferenecs > Advanced for the location of the media folder in case you changed it at some point. You can see the location of any individual file by right clicking on it and clicking Show in Windows Explorer.

    Where are film downloaded from iTunes stored on an iPad?

    They should be in the Videos app :
    If they don't show in there then are they hidden by a film age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?

  • Where does the purchase from iTune stored ?

    I have a Desktop, my wife has a Mac Book Air & a iPad, My son & daughter has a iPod Touch & a iPod each.
    My children are less than 12 yrs old and do not own iTune account nor my wife.
    I have an iTune account and tethered to my credit card to purchase.
    I have never bought music from iTune [My purchase history is for hardware-MBA,iPod Touch ect]
    What happens when I purchase a music track through my iTune account? [My Wife wants to know as she would like to purchase music tracks and I am sure my daughter would then want those same tracks on her iPod & iPad]
    Do I have to download it to save on my Computer or the Mac Book Air Hard drive so that I can save them & play on our iPads or the iPod Touchs? What would happen if I on a later date to format my computer or the MBA hard drive to reinstall my OS-Would I loose access to my purchased music tracks as they would get erased during the process of hard drive format?
    I would appreciate if anyone could make it clear to me.
    Regards

    You buy one download from itunes, just as you buy one cd from the store.
    Once you buy it, then you can move/copy/backup the music wherever you like.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files, docs,music,pics,etc to an external source ( external drive, dvd, cd, flash drive, network drive,etc).
    Your itunes purchases should be no different. They should be included in your regular backup of your computer.
    You can Google backup itunes library or similar for directions or just copy the entire itunes folder. Itunes also offers a way to do this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2727383
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    I certainly would not rely on that as your backup plan. The music should be included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • TS1476 where are songs purchased from itunes stored?

    I purchsed a few songs from itunes on my phone, after updating my phone, the songs are no longer there. Where can I find purchased songs?

    If you are in a country where you can re-download music and they are still in the store then they should appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading : re-downloading items.

  • I downloaded music from iTunes onto my iPad. I enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said the iPad music library would be replaced.How do I use iTunes Match without losing  iPad music.

    I bought music from iTunes and downloaded it to my iPad. I have enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library" on my iPad. All of my iPad music is saved on iCloud, and some of my PC music is on iCloud. If I use iTunes Match will the music previously downloaded on my iPad be lost?
    Thanks!!

    You need to either sync the iPad with iTunes so it will transfer the purchases to the iTunes library or download them from the purchase history. Then let iTM work on the "new" tracks in the library then all the music will be available on the iPad.

  • My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts. I bought music from iTunes and have it on my iPad. How do I transfer these songs to our PC (windows) where the iTunes account is my wide's. Thanks

  • I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

  • Where do i find my purchased music from itunes?

    Where do i find my purchased music from itunes in my library?

    If you allow iTunes to organize your music, each one should be filed in the appropriate artist folder within your music folder. Why do you ask?
    If you deleted the Purchased playlist in iTunes and want to get it back, try this:
    You can recreate the playlist by creating a Smart playlist.
    In iTunes choose File > New Smart Playlist
    Choose Match Any  (You must add more than one rule to get the choice of "any" or "all")
    Kind Contains Protected
    +
    Kind Contains Purchased
    Check Live updating

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • As of today I can no longer delete music from iTunes.

    Hello friends!
    I can't seem to delete music from iTunes 10.(whatever the latest version is) or on my iPhone4. I just want to change what I have on my iPhone, but then I realized that it may be an issue with iTunes after I tried to delete something there.
    I only know of two ways to delete music. One is to select/ highlight want I want to delete and select the delete funtion in the edit part of the bar. The other is to do the Command D shortcut. Neither of these work as of today. Yesterday it did indeed work for I changed some stuff before work. 
    I am nothing of a techy sort. Here is some info, but it may be invalid.
    *I have an eMac running Leopard.
    *iTunes 10.4 (I think) last update a few days ago.
    *iPhone 4...updated today with the new updates.
    *I have my music saved on an external harddrive. I have the folder set up to put my library there.
    *Edit/ Delete doesn't work, neither does Command D.
    This is the only issue I've ever had. Any suggestions?

    It could be an issue with permissions on your system.
    I would suggest beginning your troubleshooting by running Disk Utility (In the applications--> utilities folder), and choosing "Repair Permissions".
    You should also check to see if the music has a little exclamation mark next to the song -- that means it isn't able to find your music, and you'll want to doubleclick the song to make sure it plays okay.
    Secondly I would suggest you run Disk Utility again and this time you run it on your external drive and select "Repair Disk".  That will check your external drive for problems.
    My guess is that your iTunes Music Library file inside your User folder--> Music folder is damaged.. but see where you get with the Disk utility repairs first and let us know!

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.
