I keep all my music on a server, and recently built a new one. I thought I had added all of music to iTunes using a mapped network drive, but apparently quite a few albums were added via SMB (this is all on Windows). So now iTunes thinks tracks are at \\OldServer\Music\path\to\track, and it's actually in \\NewServer\Music\path\to\track. Is there a way to mass edit these files to reflect the new server name? Or to even see a list of files affected without manually scrolling through the library? I know I can simply delete the files and re-add them, but then I lose playcounts, rating, etc.

I don't have any experience with keeping the media files over the network, but couldn't you just select the network drive's folder in iTunes' preferences, and then tell it to consolidate your library to do it?

How do I control the way my smart playlist is displayed on my iPod nano? I have a smart playlist called Language which finds songs with the genre language and that aren't rated 1 star. That means it pulls from things like my Pimsleur Spanish CDs and the CD from my textbook and when I understand the track well enough I rate it 1 star. The thing is I can't seem to change the order it's displayed which means I need to scroll past 100 tracks to get down to my Pimsleur which is what I listen to more. Is there a way to alter that?

The sort field used in iTunes is the same one that your iPod will use. For instance, I have a playlist that grabs all the files that have the genre "Soundtrack". If left alone, it sorts by song name, but instead I sort by the album and everything is grouped correctly within the smart playlist. If you listen to particular tracks more often, change the sort to "Plays" (you might have to right click on the top column to get this to show).

Ok, this is a big thread so sorry if this has already been asked, but I purchased a season of a tv show from the store and it sends the hd version and regular def version to my downloads screen. First, I only want the hd version, but it won't let me choose that for some reason, and second when I delete the unwanted versions from my download screen they just come back later when I restart iTunes. Is there a way to stop this, or do I just have to download it and delete it to stop it from coming back?

gently caress this. I don't understand how an iPhone is the easiest thing in the world to use but iTunes is such a piece of poo poo. How do I tell this stupid piece of poo poo loving program I don't want something? Why in the gently caress does it ask me for my loving password every 15 minutes? Why can't I just open my iPod like a folder and copy the files into it from another file like any other storage device. Why do I have to use your stupid poo poo loving goddamn broken program Apple? I don't give one single poo poo about managing playlists or genius or any of that stupid bullshit. How about if I delete something from the downloads it goes away forever? How loving Hard is that? Why are the devices so easy and the software is so obtuse? It's loving backwards. gently caress this retarded software.

Because then the RIAA would be in a tizzy that you're using the iPod/iPhone like a hard drive that you can just drop off your music at a friend's place. Given it's the highest profile mp3 player, they locked it down as soon as they made it. They were one of the first mp3 players with significant storage, so rather they probably did it so they didn't look like a file sharing device. Portable hard drives weren't popular when iPods were introduced.

I've heard from numerous sources that the reason for the renaming of files and the F##/ filesystem structure on an iPod's music is an engineering decision for speed and indexing, nothing to do with copyright.

I'm having a weird new problem. I downloaded some songs straight to my iPhone a while ago, and am trying to get them onto my Mac. I go to my purchased list, and iTunes states that the songs are already downloaded but I can't find them in my library. A CD I just imported also seems to have disappeared into the ether, but another album I ripped in the same session appears just fine. What could possibly be going on here? EDIT: I was able to find the files I created with the rest of my iTunes music, but they still wouldn't appear in my library even though iTunes could play the files. After iTunes updated to the recent version, the tracks appeared in my library just like they should. Odd. Space Harrier fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Sep 19, 2012 |

Will the new iTunes have better EQ features, because switching off Foobar on XP to iTunes on a Mac is making me dislike my Sennheiser HD280s, something that should never ever happen. Seriously I've had these headphones for a good five years now and this is the first time I've ever disliked them. No I'm not buying an amp, I want iTunes to not be bad at sounding good.

Ok, so I have been kind of lazy about updating my itunes. (Currently running 10.5.3) But I updated my iphone to ios6 today, so when I plugged my phone into my computer itunes tell me it can't update my phone without the newest itunes. So I go to itunes.com and download the newest version (10.7). But when I click to install it tells me I need 10.6.8 (OS) Is there anyway I can find a 10.6.3 version for i-tunes?

I had a song with 15 plays on my iPhone, and 0 on my local library before I updated my iPhone to iOS6 and iTunes 10.7 on my laptop. I play the song today, and instead of saying 16 plays on my phone, it says 1 on my phone and 1 on my local library. What happened and how can I fix this? I used to not allow iTunes to update play counts for my local library. If it helps, I don't have iTunes Match or iCloud enabled. EDIT 3: I did have an issue with iTunes updating the play counts on my local library on sync on a previous version, and mentioned it earlier in the thread. It usually leads to a odd 'double play count + 1' issue if I play a song and sync my iphone. I can't roll back this time though

I used to put all my podcasts in a playlist so they would play one after another on my iPhone while driving or jogging. With the new podcast app, podcasts will only show up in the podcast app and it appears they can only be played one at a time. Am I missing something? I just realized RunKeeper uses the Music playlists only, so using RunKeeper to jog while listening to podcasts is completely out. What in the world are they trying to do here?

Is there any way to use an alias for one of the folders inside my "iTunes Media" folder? Until today, I've always kept my entire iTunes folder on my large external drive, but now that drive is actually running out of space. There's plenty of space on my internal HD for music, apps, books and podcasts. I really only need the external drive for videos, so I'd like to free some space by moving my iTunes folder to the internal drive, and just using aliases to the "Movies" and "TV Shows" folders on the external drive. I set it all up, but it doesn't seem like iTunes can find the video files through the aliases. Is there any way to make this work, or am I going to just have to go back to keeping everything on the external drive?

IUG posted:Yeah, clearly Apple is just loving with you for no good reason and hiding the files by default because they spite you. This is the most likely reason. No, the reason is likely because of the how the devices sync. Apple wants a seamless experience and wants your devices to all match, playcounts, smart playlists, album art, etc. Dragging and dropping songs onto the device would not allow for this and they could really give a gently caress if you wanted to do it some other way. Apple has made strides forward in the openness of their music. It's all DRM Free now, all 256kbps, it's easy (though it always has been) to get out of iTunes. The fact that you can't just dump onto an iPod probably has very little if anything to do with recording industry. In terms of disk mode not being on some devices. That's obviously another choice made by Apple for some reason or another as it used to exist on all their iPods and is slowly being removed. My guess is that partitioning space like that lead to corrupted devices and since it wasn't a highly used feature they just assume remove it.

Is this the thread for iTunes account issues? I hope so. I got the usual email with my latest purchases, two apps and a song. The apps I actually purchased, but the song I didn't. It's not on my iPhone or iPad, or in my iTunes library. I had my wife change my iTunes password (I wasn't at home and couldn't figure out how to do it on my phone), then I started looking through my purchased items in the app store and iTunes. Nothing unusual except this song. I'm finally back at home, and I'm going through my Purchase History (which is an incredible pain in the rear end) but I don't see anything else weird. I used the 'report a problem' form so we'll see what Apple says, but is there anything else I should do?

Hey all, running into a bit of an issue with my wifes laptop and her iTunes. We recently wiped and reinstalled Windows 7 and I transferred over her library like I am used to doing on my machine. Things went well. She backs up to iCloud, so doesn't get back to her laptop much to sync. She tried to load a CD she ripped into a playlist to load and when she goes to Music under her iPhone, the Sync Music box is unchecked (all of them are on all of the tabs, which shouldn't be) but the radio button for Sync selected playlists is marked. When I check the box to Sync Music (and thus enable the playlist syncing) we get the very hostile error of wiping everything and replacing with everything from the iTunes library. This all worked just fine before the reinstall and am unsure of where to go from here. I do not have manually manage music checked. How can I get these two to talk to eachother, despite apparently having an initial willingness to? They sync up, transfer purchases, but won't work with any new instructions! Appreciate any insight. Thanks! edit: quick update, I backed it up on a whim, now when I click sync it tells me that it hasn't synced with this computer before (I JUST DID 30 MINUTES AGO!) and it needs to wipe and load from the library. Is there not a less destructive way? edit2: and now it synced on another push of the button, i'm so confused right now. TraderStav fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Sep 26, 2012 |

So Apple's "security changes" after the Wired incident have left my account crippled and in order to reactivate it I need to provide the serial number for the first iOS device I ever registered to iTunes. Considering iThings have a life of a couple of years on average, I haven't seen that on since 2007. So, I was basically told "Go create a new account then" meaning I lose all my apps and such. But what I need right now is a good way to strip all DRM from my iTunes library. I'm on OS X, and I know that I'll likely have to pay if I want something that will do it quickly and efficiently, but does anyone have suggestions for a program capable of doing it in large batches? Because obviously I can't reactivate my songs on a new account.

It's been a while since Apple DRM'ed songs, and they provided a (not free) method of converting older DRMed songs to higher bitrate/DRM-free. If you have a lot of DRM content, I'd start being a massive pain to Apple, certified letters demanding they restore the content you've paid for, small claims court (or arbitration if the agreement requires that), getting MacWorld/Ars Technica/David Pogue/other media involved and turn it into negative publicity for Apple.
