Why do I have to re add all songs/apps/movies/shows to Itunes??

Itunes seems to lose all my songs/apps/movies/shows every once and a while and it all has to be re added?? HELP, why does it keep doing this??

Normally no, updating iTunes won't affect your library at all. That said, it would be wise prior to the upgrade to make a backup of the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files and of any tracks you've purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, just in case something does go wrong.

  • Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
    If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
    This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

  • All music & apps not showing in iTunes

    I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro 15" and transferred all my iTunes music, apps etc from a backup from my Time Capsule. However, when I open up my iTunes, the screens meant to be showing my music and apps are blank.
    I can access the iTunes store and if I press play then the first song on my list plays and then iTunes crashes.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what you mean by right click on the device. In the upper right hand corner of iTunes I see the device, but I am unable to right click on it. 
    I really just wanted to have the apps show up in iTunes so that i could update them all. (This is how I did it before they all disappeared). But I guess I can just update them directly on my iPad and iPhone. Is there a reason i need to have them show in iTunes is I can update and manage them directly on my iPad?

    Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way! Apple TV is not Apple anymore...

    Primarily because those third party apps are just that, they are not Apple apps, and each have their own requirements for activation.

    why do I have to log in all the time into iCloud every time in spite of clicking the "keep me logged in" box?

    It is amazing that Apple does nothing about this.  It used to work before but this function (keep me logged in) stopped working a couple of months ago.  Many people seem to have the same problem but Apple seems unable to solve their own problems...

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    Hi CPI Pierre,
    You can determine what is using the memory in your iPad Air by looking at Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage.
    If you are having issues with insufficient memory you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Can I disable "add all songs" on my iPhone?

    Since I'm rarely near my computer with iTunes on it, 90% of my Playlist editing ( I almost exclusively use playlists to decide what to listen to ) directly on my iPhone. The problem I have is the annoying "add all songs" button that is precariously placed at the top of the edit screen where it's hard not to press it. I keep pressing it by accident. I cannot find a way to undo/cancel it except to delete the play list  and start over.
    Is there a way to disabled the "add all songs" button? Or at least an "undo" feature to put the playlist back the state it was in before I accidentally pressed it?
    IMHO, its counter-intuitive to have the button in the first place.If I wanted to listen to all of the songs on my iPhone, I'd just go to "music" and press "play" . lol

    Hi!
    In iOS 7 on the iPhone or ipad:
    One way to do it is by adding a restriction on adult content.  Click settings, restrictions (make a password), them scroll down to "websites" under allowed content (below the list of things to allow or not allow), then select "limit adult content."  Poof... No more private browsing option in safari.

  • Iphone create playlist add all songs

    Since upgrading to iOS7.0.4 on my iPhone 4 I have to say I have been very frustrated and unhappy. Not only does my album art not match my songs after various syncs and deletes and resyncs, voice control keeps coming on to interrupt my music draining my battery. Now I am trying to create a new playlist and the functionality to add all songs in a search is gone meaning I have to click on every single song to add it rather than being able to add by artist or album all in one go. This is most annoying. My contract with Telus is almost up and I'm getting more and more tempted to go to a Samsung Galaxy as I find the bugs in the new iTunes iOS 7.0.4 are becoming a real pain.

    The reason I need the On-The-Go playlist, is because I had my iPod on auto-sync, and checked the songs I wanted added to the iPod. But in my iTunes, I accidentally checked EVERYTHING. So now if I want to re-sync my iPod to include new songs I've added, I'll have to go BACK through and recheck those few thousand songs I had on my iPod, which will take me forever.
    SO, if I can just create the On-The-Go playlist, it will transfer that to my iTunes, in which case I can just sync the playlist.
    Yeah, I've even tried adding songs from other playlists. If it's a small playlist it works. I made a playlist with every song on my iPod. That didn't work. Is there a max for how big the On-The-Go playlist can be?

  • ITunes adds all my apps when I sync my iPhone 5s even with 'add new apps' unticked

    I have hundreds of apps in my iTunes but only a select few that i want on my phone. When i plug my phone in to sync new music playlists to it, iTunes syncs all of my apps to my phone as well and then i have to go through on my phone deleting all the unwanted ones. I have the box 'sync all new apps' unticked so why does itunes think these are all new apps that i want to be on my phone? It didn't always do this it only started doing it the last few times, so maybe the start of this year.
    Any suggestions appreciated, VERY annoying situation.

    You can select all apps individually, that you want to sync to your iPhone, when you plug in your phone.
    Select your phone in the "Devices" section, and in the "Apps" tab, click "Remove" for each of the apps, that you do not want on your iPhone.

    Because all content that you download from the iTunes stores is coated with your Apple ID.

  • I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members.  What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

    I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family.  What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
    I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
    Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

    I sold my ipod (which has always been backed up to itunes/computer) and am waiting for a new Ipad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can sync your music and apps from iTunes. However since you are moving from an iPod to an iPad, many of the apps will have iPad versions which you will need to redownload.

  • Backing out of "Add All songs" to playlist

    I accidentally hit the "Add All songs" when editing a playlist- the next button is "Done" - but I don't want to add 3000 songs - how can I back out of this choice?

    I am having the same problem, "Error formatting disk iPod. Disk cannot be written to or copied from."
    The guy at the apple store said the iPod is totally fine, that it's my computer. Getting nowhere with my laptop manufacturer - he tells me to do to the apple store.
    I was told the best bet is to make sure my music files are backed up on my hard drive, then uninstall and then reinstall iTunes.
