Why iTunes doesn't have folder watch function?

Why Apple doesn't realize this function?

We're all just your fellow users here and have no idea why Apple has made the design and engineering decisions they have. You can comment to Apple on this subject here, if you wish:

Meanwhile, you can drop the tracks into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in the iTunes Music folder, or you can try these potential solutions from other developers:

  • Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?

    Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?
    Also, in my iPod Touch 4th, it erase all album art from my iPod, then i tried to put again a new Album Art, ...download again from the image sites and still ...it didn't show up.? What a waste!
    I waste all my time to set all album art on my iPod, then it just gone. kindly pls fix this issue. hate this new version of iTunes, so complicated.
    The first thing i saw after i install new version of iTunes, it showed only music files. I don't know where to look for the old version of Sidebar. I keep on trying to look for it where I can see or any sign off button just to show up this stupid SideBar. Also, why i couldn't find? The "Menu Bar" is also hide!
    Until i found out in "View" tab. Then i saw the Show Sidebar. Question? why do you need to hide that Side Bar? For what?. it is so so so complicated specially to those people who can't relate for this. (Also the button (from previous iTunes) to show the Album Art, now it's gone. I check every Tab, but there's no way to see the Album Art.)
    Another comment. I download also some of my songs to my iPod, I wasted my time to collect all of my favorite music files. Also some are came from CD's and friends. I had all that favorite music in my iPod. Then the version iOS 5.+ came then I updated my iPod, another options to save files (iCloud) but I think there are something that I MISS about updating my iPod. Then suddenly I checked my iPod... all music (with Album Arts) are gone. All Apps are Gone. Videos as well.
    If you don't know how to use that iCloud (with only 5GB storage), you'll gonna miss/lost everything.
    Then I start all over again, i still have my BACK UP, good to have that. Now it's all set until I update the latest iOS 6. And another version of iTunes.
    Then I realized my computer getting slow. I uninstalled it. My laptop started to work fast again. Then I download again the iTunes. So now I know, it has the ability to slow my computer. Everytime I turn on my iTunes, it hang. (Not Responding). Solution... CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Then every second time to open the iTunes, and it works. (it means, to open iTunes, need twice)
    Then suddenly my laptop is not working. All my files has been corrupted. My Hard drive doesn't work properly. Now I don't have any stupid BACK UPs. My music files usage is 18 GB, only contacts, documents, notes, or some other files that can only fit to your "iCloud" not my 18GB music files and other photos. Your solution is to BUY more storage. Another COST! Another wasting time to set everything then need to pay more?
    If you let your unit (iPod,iPhone,iPad) to export music to PC, or any mini SDcard to use as storage, it won't happen.
    There is another....
    It has Bluetooth, right?
    Use less! Doesn't work. There's no way to use it.
    All I need is to install an application to use your bluetooth. (for same unit or Apple unit only). And pictures only can send via Bluetooth if you an application.
    Even if you go to "Photos" check if there's a way to send pictures? there is no way to send via Bluetooth, even Photos, Songs.etc. It can't even share some other friends (even they have own iPad, iPod, iPhone or same products) who has a unit with Bluetooth.
    And the last.. only one port. there's no way to watch videos through HDMI. No HDMI port, no SD or any card slot. Must to buy their products.
    Very costly!
    I know (like iPod) it's very friendly to use it, but you  must spend more money first before it can use.

    Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
    Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

  • HT2534 why my itunes doesn't have the none button on payment type?

    why my itunes doesn't have the none button on payment type?

    I haven't gotten anywhere, unfortunately. 
    Just to confirm we're having the same problem: I'm using a 4th generation iPod touch and I'm using the Nike+ iPod app to link to the Nike+ Sensor that goes in the insert in the shoe.
    After I finish a workout, I click "Send to Nike+" which switches to Safari and loads nikeplus.com.  I log in and... it doesn't seem to do anything else...  Nothing shows up on nikeplus.com.
    Has this pretty much been your experience as well?

  • I bought a new computer, and iTunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what i do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything, and I want all that on my laptop..

    I bought a new computer, and downloaded  iTunes, therefore  the new itunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what I do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything that my phone has on it, I just want it all moved to my laptop. Does that make sense? I could really use some help. I don't live with this desktop anymore so I need to be able to use my laptops itunes. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How come iTunes doesn't have a band I am looking for?

    I am looking for a band that I LOVE, and iTunes doesn't have it or something. Does anyone know why iTunes doesn't offer all music?

  • HT2731 Why itunes doesn't accept my payment card

    Why itunes doesn't accept my mastercard when i sign in with this Apple Id in iTunes Store in windows 8 ,  i have two mastercards of two different banks in India.
    iTunes says - " The payment card number you entered is not a valid payment card number"
    Currently i have Debit Master cards of banks
    1. State Bank Of India
    2. Punjab national Bank
    Please help me to create my apple id with iTunes store

    If you are trying to use debit cards then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. Do you have a credit card that you could use instead ? Credit cards are generally considered safer than debit cards.
    If you only have debit cards then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help, but I don't think that you will be able to use them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    You can download the beta, but you should remember that it is still a beta version and that there are still bugs that need to be resolved. The beta versions are released as test versions to make it possible to get as many bugs fixed as possible before the final release.
    Make sure that you create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile to avoid the beta version from corrupting the Firefox 3.6.x profile.<br />
    The Firefox beta version install by default in their own program folder and do not replace the currently installed Firefox 3.6.x release.

    MacBook Air looks like a "vintage" laptop with that horrible screen frame.

  • My itunes doesn't have the options to authorized any computer to play with my Apple Id.

    My itunes doesn't have the options to authorized any computer to play with my Apple Id. What should I do?

    Hey danielefrommill valley,
    Thanks for the question. Here is the information on how to authorize your computer to play iTunes Store purchases:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
    Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases: Choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
    If you do not see the Store menu you can enable the menubar:
    iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
    - To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.
    Thanks,

  • Alternatives when iTunes doesn't have song?

    Where can I go to buy mp3s for song tracks that iTunes doesn't have?
    I don't want to join a download service or fill out a subscription--I like
    the simplicity of iTunes and the fact that you just plunk down your 99 cents and the song is yours. Any other reputable sites that you go to in order to "fill in"
    the gaps in your song collection? Thanks!

    Bump. I was wondering the same thing.
    Thanks.

  • My Itunes doesn't have a music tab, only apps , podcasts , books and itunesu . Why is this ?

    My Itunes has been giving me a lot of trouble. Firstly i havent been able to browse through or see any music in the itunes store , only apps,podcasts , books and itunesU. Secondly I received two itunes gift cards for my birthday and when i tried to reedeem them in the ap store it said invalid codes for both. I proceeded in trying to redeem the cards from my itunes on my computer and it said the country of the itunes account doesnt match the itunes card. I am Jamaican ,and i created my apple ID on my itouch in Jamaica , did that automatically give me a Jamaican account? How can I resolve these issues ?

    Adrienne,
    Only about a quarter of the iTunes country stores have music, so you are apparently looking at one that doesn't.
    Go into the store, and click the little house icon to get to the home page, where you can click on "Change Country."  Click on the country you are in, and enter your credit card information. 
    To make purchases, the address on the card must match the country of the store, and you must be physically in that country at the time of purchase.

  • Possible (1) cause why iTunes doesn't work on some windows systems

    I'm currently working on a notebook computer for a friend. The problem? iTunes does not launch.
    Selecting the iTunes icon does nothing.
    Loaded iTunes onto (2) of my computers. A desktop and a notebook. Both worked well.
    Attempted to launch the Quicktime icon on her system. Just as with the iTunes - nothing.
    So, I re-read the Minimal System Requirements. iTunes requires 256mb of memory. And on her notebook - only has 240mb.
    My memory (DDR2) won't work on her older system. But I suspect this may be (at least) one reason why iTunes does not launch.

    Hello Lorenzo 1972,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes even after a fresh install with the error that it cannot find the iTunes.exe file. That path, c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe leads to the 32 bit program folder for iTunes. If you are using a shortcut you had on the desktop pre install, try going to C:\program files\itunes\ and finding the iTunes.exe file there.
    If not it sounds like iTunes may be installing a damaged copy of the 32 bit version of the application, so I would recommend the following article to help you get any old installation files out so you can install the 64 bit version fresh:
