Ya i'm not sure what happened last time but I've never lost anything to an iTunes upgrade since it came out.

This is more of an iPhone/iPad problem than iTunes but maybe someone knows how to do it... When I signed up for iTunes Match the "Purchased" folder on my iPhone went away. I like the folder so I created a Smart Playlist on iTunes that said "Where iTunes Match Status is Purchased" Works great on my PC. I can see all my purchased music. Doesn't work on my iPhone/iPad, it just shows me every single matched or purchased song. Any ideas how I can create this in an alternative way?

Fairly certain that number syncs when you sync your iPod. I'd say like 99% certain.

Mr. Bonky posted:So I came to this thread hoping my playlist woes would be answered using iTunes match. Apparently I'm not the only one having a problem. I just want to be able to see what I've recently added to iTunes and play it on my iPhone when I'm on the go. I've noticed some smart playlists functions work and some do not. Get creative and maybe you can make it work. Maybe not...

FLX posted:I've got a new internal harddrive for my computer, so I can finally fit all my music on there, instead of only a selection, while the the whole lot is stored on an external drive. If I just drag the music folder on my external drive into iTunes now, will it also import the tons of duplicate files? I set iTunes to copy everything to my Media folder, so might there even be some duplicate filename problems? 1. If it's already in iTunes tell iTunes not to manage your music (if you haven't already). 2. specify your library location for iTunes and tell it to manage your music. 3. use the iTunes consolidation option and it will move all the music into your iTunes library directory

helium muppet posted:I realized I have a lot of music I longer want. In itunes, how do I delete the music from the hard drive? If you've chosen to manually manage you must manually delete it. edit: wait, you didn't manually do it? then just delete the song and it should prompt you to delete it. fake-edit: I'm confused at what you've done.

helium muppet posted:I want to delete songs forever. I don't just want them to not appear in the itunes library. If I press delete, it just deletes them from the library- I can still find the songs in windows explorer. Sounds like your songs are managed manually. Meaning you have to delete them manually. Managed songs, upon deleting, ask if you also want to remove them from your hard drive completely.

Siets posted:I know in the past iTunes music had DRM but you could buy DRM-free music if you paid more. I'm reading a few posts around the web now saying that all iTunes music is now DRM-free, meaning that if I buy from there I am free to create mp3 320's of everything (meaning that I can finally DJ with their stuff!) Is this true? I'm about to make a decently sized music purchase in the event that this is now the case. It is true. Though 320 mp3s don't make a lot of sense when you're downloading 256 copies but go for it anyway if you want.

Now, when I try to connect to iTunes on my new MacBook, only about 1/3rd of the songs are available to download from iCloud. The rest seem to be only available through streaming. It doesn't matter if I uploaded them or if they're matched. Email Apple support and ask. Then post back here the answer. Because I really want to know too. I only have 2 songs though and haven't bothered to care.

IUG posted: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. That's a bullshit/made up reason. You can drag files directly out of iTunes onto an iPod without a problem with disk storage on.

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.

iTunes store works so much better now. Hopefully iCloud/Match does now too when I go to use it. Also the Play Next is welcomed and long overdue - sad they killed iTunes DJ for that but whatever. If I had to choose which I'd rather have it's going to be Play Next since I would use that more than twice a year. I didn't really care about most of the other changes. I generally use my iTunes in list view to create playlists before workouts. The album view is cool but not very practical in my opinion - it never really has been. Oh love that the terrible bar to the right is gone now too and rolled into a menu option.

I can't speak to your bug issue because I've watched this work many times but your force sync button is certainly there.

TACD posted:So how do I add MP3 clippings into the ringtones section? All I can find online is useless (and inaccurate) guff about loving about converting files to AAC and changing the file extension and whatever, and I refuse to believe that in 2012 such arcane bullshit is require just to make my phone play stupid tinkly tones when I get a call. Then you might never get custom ringtones. If it's an MP3 file it needs to be converted to aac (native audio format for iPhone) and the file extension changed to m4r (r as in ringtone) so iTunes knows it's a ringtone and not a song.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Yes, but why do I need a second player on the screen at the same time? It's the same interface as if you clicked on the album artwork in iTunes full screen. Which would let you minimize iTunes and just display a giant artwork picture. Might be nice to have controls at that point. Is it really so hard to keep your cursor off the album artwork? Oh by the way this has always been this way.

eiddetham posted:So I have a question. I have been converting all my video files to M4V format so I can stream it to my apple tv. But none of the things I convert are showing up on Itunes 11.0. Even when I try to add video files that are already in .mp4 format, they are now showing up anywhere. I look in movies, including home movies, and tv shows, and I don't see them anywhere... When I try to add them they look like they are being added, but then they are nowhere to be found. I see it in List view only. I think it's a bug. It's also visible on my AppleTV.

Installing the new iTunes (11.0.1) on Windows 8 64bit was kind of a bitch. It kept telling me I didn't have permissions to a folder the installer created. I had to go out to the folder and assign full control to everyone to get it installed.

Maybe I'm dumb but it feels like the "Shuffle" functionality has been kind of buried in a menu without even a hotkey to toggle it. It's been like that since 11 came out of course and is nothing new but I've neglected to say anything for fear that I was not seeing a button somewhere.

I've got it copied onto a hard drive, and everything is in the cloud, but when I delete it from my computer and try to play it on iTunes, all I get is the typical "This song can't be found, Do you want to locate the original file?" About half of my hard drive is music right now (MacBook Air), and I want to get it all off so I have room for other poo poo. Delete all the files from your iTunes but when it prompts you to also delete it from match choose no.
