Wish I could choose a folder for Itunes to keep organized.

I would like to be able to choose a folder for ITunes to keep "organized." I will never let it do it to my main library but for certain folders it would be nice to have.

Derry hello,
The organize command places song files into album and artist folders, and names the files based on the disc number, and the song title in the folder that is shown in the display window of the iTunes preferences > advanced > general tab for Location....
This command has no effect on the way iTunes operates or plays your music files... it only tidies things up inside the iTunes Music folder if that is the folder set in pref.... it will do no harm to your music files.
take care Derry .... TP

While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates.
Clicking on each of these gives you a different view.
When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
Hope this helps.

Keep trying to install update for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature'

keep trying to install the new updates for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature' and it won't download

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

How choose destination folder for images edited in external program?

Using LR 2.3 with the Windows 7 beta. It seems to me there should be a preference or option to set the destination folder for an image sent for editing in Photoshop. The default is the folder where the originals are located, which seems to me to be the worst choice. In any event, I can't find where in LR the user can choose a destination folder for the edited image. Ideally, the user should be able to choose this for each set of images being edited, and the choice would be available in the dialog that appears when the user sends an image out to Photoshop.
So is there a way to set the destination folder for the image that results from sending an image out for editing in Photoshop or other external application?
Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Thanks very much. I have CS4, but haven't installed it yet. So I have been using the rendering option. Apparently that is part of the problem, because I seem to recall that there was a Save As option shown when LR 2 was compatible with whatever the ACR with CS3 was.
Saving with originals seems an odd default. I wouldn't think too many photographers mix processed work with originals, and making the destination folder choice always available wouldn't seem to be a particularly difficult piece of engineering.
Anyway, your answer was very helpful.

Change default Folder for iTunes downloads?

The help section tells me how to change the folder in which internet files and podcasts are downloaded. But I don't know how to change the folder in which the music files I get right from iTunes are downloaded to. I tried changing the folder for internet/podcast files, but the songs are still going to the My Music folder in My Documents. I don't want my songs going to that folder as I already have another folder where I put my music. Any help would be appreciated.

you can take an event and "consolidate events" and that (should) allow you to move the events from that project to the other harddrive (Back-up first!). For new projects, when you import the video, import it to the new HD. I'm not sure that the project can be stored on that HD, needs to be where the iMovie application is i think, BUT, the information in the project is minimal compared to the video footage, so you will free up LOTs of space on main HD by not storing the video footage there.

Watch folder for itunes?

is it possible to have itunes watch a folder and automatically import songs from that folder to itunes without me telling it to. If i keep ripping my cd's and putting them into a folder, is itunes able to add into it's library whatever i add into that folder automatically?

No. Itunes has no such feature

ICloud and iTunes, cannot get the check boxes to stay checked under preferences for iTunes to keep automatic downloads for iCloud, how can I fix this?

When using my iPhone and Macbook with iTunes, I cannot get the checkboxes to stay checked in iTunes to use the automatic downloads for iCloud. It is so frustrating. I check box them and hit ok under store preferences for iTunes, and when I go back in, they are unchecked. I am so excited to use iCloud with my iPhone downloads and it is not working, if I can't get it to work with this, I am never going to get it to work for documents. Please help.

Hey man. Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I spent an hour on the phone with AppleCare yesterday, and am going to have to call them back when I get home from work today. It's driving me bonkers!!

Choose iPhoto Library for iTunes to sync

I have a shared iPhoto library so it can be accessed by multiple accounts on my iMac. I want to sync my photos with my iPhone, but when iTunes opens it finds an old iPhoto Library (that has been deleted) and it says there are 0 photos to sync.
I've gone under the "Choose Folder..." option, but I cannot choose my iPhoto Library from there.
How can I make iTunes see the correct iPhoto library so I can sync my photos to my phone like I want?

I have a shared iPhoto library so it can be accessed by multiple accounts on my iMac.
How is that set up?
Can other apps access iPhoto? For instance, iMovie?

2nd destination folder for iTunes media appears in my external hard drive ?

I've been having trouble with my external hard drive that houses my iTunes media (33,000 songs).
I've solved that issue, but during the course of it, because the external was flitting in and out,
I believe the destination for media in iTunes preferences went from : /Volumes/iomega/iTunes Media to
simply "/Volumes/iomega"
Now I have a new external hard drive folder named "Music", and all activity in it is just from yesterday.
My guess is when all this was happening, I'd get the "do you want to organize your media" question from the advanced preferences.
One time I pushed "yes" and a lot of files started buzzing. I didn't want to wait for 33,000 songs so I stopped.
Am I right in guessing iTunes was reorganizing my stuff to the new folder "Music"? Less than 1,000 songs are in the file, and
those are no longer in the old "iTunes Media" file. There's really no consistency to what shifted...it might be a single
song shifted over while five others on the same album stayed behind. I can't just shift the folders back because it will replace
the original artist folder with the new one, which will lose a lot of songs. I tried manually to shift some back song by song and
it worked OK. But it would take forever to shift them back in that fashion.
Is there a way to get everything back in a single folder? If I do the "organize" thing thru iTunes and let it run, will it
eventually shift everything from my old "iTunes media" folder to the newer "Music" folder that appeared yesterday?
And will iTunes then recognize that as the active media folder and I'll redirect new media to that folder??

Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders (albeit Windows images):
Older versions of iTunes would put artist folder inside the media folder, newer versions inside <Media Folder>/Music. I'm guessing that your library was in the older layout, even if the main folder was called iTunes Media, instead of the new one. There is an option to move from the old layout to the new one. Moving from the new one back to the old one can be achieved by tweaking a hidden preference file in the media folder. There are however good reasons for preferring the newer layout when it comes to moving your library to a new drive or computer. Details in Make a split library portable.
Have I understood the issue? If you really want to force the old layout edit the file .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 then turn the "Keep media folder organized" preference off, then back on again.

When downloading itunes updates, i get an error that reads file folder for itunes media has an invalid character

The error message read "file folder iTunes media has invalid character".

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Where is the Ringtones folder for iTunes?

I've created some ringtones and now I need to place them in the correct folder so that iTunes will load them.
Can anyone point me to where the folder should be?
Thanks,

I don't think the problem lies in the iTunes programme. Try turning off the iPhone then turn it back on and plug it in the computer. If it doesn't work try resetting it. Go to Settings>General>Reset. Choose the option to keep your data and reset it. Plug your iPhone in the computer.

1 folder for itunes for 4 users

is there way to have 1 itunes folder on a mac that all users on the mac can access including new music bought and when any user puts a cd on the mac and is there an easy way to see if a song is on my mac multiple times

If I remember correctly you can't copy from a shared library (I don't share my computer so it's not a function I have use for). If you have yours shared with the other users on your computer they will be able to access your library and listen to what's there but they won't be able to add the shared songs to their own libraries

Create folder for iTunes library on has

I am setting up a synology nas to be used for my itunes library. The nas is a DS1513+. How do i creat a shared folder on the nas for the transfer of my itunes library from my external drive to the nas? I figure the folder would just be named Itunes. Also when i start my mac mini should the nas mount on the desktop? If so how do i make it do this?
