Re: ITUNES PROBLEM

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Jewels,

I understand very well being caught up in urgent work, it's an occupational 
hazard for many of us ;-)

Good to hear you were able to delete all the temp files, I was certain they 
would be causing problems in iTunes.

If you have anymore issues with files not being able to be written to the 
iTunes library files we would need to look at why, or what third party 
add-on/plug-in or program is preventing this to happen.

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi Jewels,
 
 I'm rushing out for the day so won't be able to help until later today.
 But it sounds like you might have some old Library folders still in your 
 Home/Music/iTunes folder.
 
 Temp Files from iTunes are created when the software cannot write to one 
 or more of the Library Files.
 You may have some permissions issues, or another program is locking up the 
 ability to write to the .itl file
 iTunes writes them to update the iTunes library file.
 They should NOT stay after the file is updated.
 
 You should be able to delete all of the .tmp files after you QUIT iTunes.
 
 Gotta rush, if you need help earlier someone else might be able to help.
 Otherwise I'll get back later today/tonight.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Hi Ronnie

So sorry for my rudeness on not replying until now - have been caught up with 
urgent work.

I did delete the temp files and since I have perhaps added 5 files into iTunes 
- so far so good !!  I had almost a gb of temp files.
Hopefully my iTunes will run okay again.

Once again, thank you for your invaluable assistance !

Re: ITUNES PROBLEM

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Jewels,

Is iTunes working any better after you deleted all the Temp files as per my 
previous reply?

Some temp files are caches for interrupted downloads for things you had 
purchased that developed an error during media purchase downloads. That didn't 
completely download properly. 

Other temp files are error dump files that can cause iTunes to not run properly.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: ITUNES PROBLEM

[Julie Bedford]

Thanks Ronnie,
I guess I’ll give it a go when next adding files - I did this earlier today 
unfortunately.  I will let you know how I get on.

iTunes is still stopping and starting when playing something on the Mac - any 
remedy you can think of ?

In the iTunes Library I see a vast number of temp files - I am unable to open 
them - would it be safe to delete do you think ?

Thanks for both of your suggestions and help

 I have iTunes 12.6.2 installed - but would mention it was the update 
 before this one when I started experiencing the problems.  Never a problem 
 previously.
 
 I log on to a website and download their latest interviews (of which I am 
 a subscriber) - no problem there.  I have always just dragged the mp3 file 
 from the Downloads folder and placed in the relevant folder on my iTunes.  
 I then later usually transfer these onto my classic ipod - no problems 
 with the ipod.  Sometimes the mp3 I have dragged onto iTune freezes iTunes 
 and am unable often to do a Force Quit, so have to shutdown and restart 
 the Mac.  I have recently noticed also that when playing from iTunes on

 then it returns playing.
 
 I have my iTunes library etc on a dedicated 2GB hard drive, which I 
 installed into my Mac Pro - it is not an external hanging from a USB cord.
 
 I tend to keep most of the mp3s in the iTunes library for future 
 reference.  Of course, when the disc gets full, I will have to think about 
 backing some files up on another hard drive for safe keeping.
 
 I have been having better luck when transferring the mp3 files onto 
 iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe - for reformatting.  Basically I’m just 
 reformatting an mp3 into an  mp3, as I suspect maybe the original file has 
 something which iTunes does not like and the re-format eliminates it.  
 This process 98% of the time works.
 
 I have searched the web for a solution without success, but have come 
 across numerous people who are having the same or similar problems.

Hi Jewels, 
I think what Peter was saying is try my 2nd suggestion of the 3 ways to get 
Files into iTunes I gave previously.
In iTunes

 Hi Jewels,
 
 A) How are you trying to Add these MP3 files into iTunes?
 
 You can add them to iTunes in many ways:
 
 * Drop them—either grouped or in a folder—on the iTunes icon.
 
 * Choose File > Add to Library (Command-O) and select files or folders.
 
 *Drop them in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. This is located in 
 the iTunes Media folder, which by default is in your Music folder. iTunes 
 adds any new content in this “watched” folder to your iTunes library and 
 then deletes it from the folder.

 You can convert audio files in iTunes to other formats.

Re: ITUNES PROBLEM

Thanks for the suggestion Pete.  
I think what Ronni suggested was that I go to the iTunes folder / library, 
locate the relevant folder and drop in directly ?  I have numerous folders in 
iTunes, each for the relevant subject or website podcast.  It would take me 
ages to do it that way I feel and is easier just to reformat them in my 
iskysoft software.  

I have just played around with an offending file, being careful  not to touch 
any other folder on the way to iTunes, but still the same problem.  I have been 
loading up my iTunes since the early 2000’s and never had such a problem.  When 
iTunes will not quit, I have to do a restart, which interrupts the other jobs I 
am doing at the time and have to restart them again once the Mac has restarted. 
 

On what I have gathered from the web, many people are experiencing problems now 
with iTunes, I think I must be just one of them.  I would really like to go 
back to the older version of iTunes, when it was operating perfectly, but not 
sure if that is really viable.  

Thanks

Re: ITUNES PROBLEM

[Peter Crisp]

Jewels, this is a long shot. During the drag/drop process into iTunes, is it 
possible your mouse is passing over a potential drop point (some other folder 
on the way to the intended folder) that is making OSX jam up. If you do the 
menu driven import method (Ronni suggested this below) that would at least 
eliminate that as a possible reason for the hang ups. I have this problem with 
Windows Explorer at my work and use other methods as a result (Import process 
or Copy/Paste).

Re: ITUNES PROBLEM

[Julie Bedford]

Many thanks for your email Ronni.

I have iTunes 12.6.2 installed - but would mention it was the update before 
this one when I started experiencing the problems.  Never a problem previously.

I log on to a website and download their latest interviews (of which I am a 
subscriber) - no problem there.  I have always just dragged the mp3 file from 
the Downloads folder and placed in the relevant folder on my iTunes.  I then 
later usually transfer these onto my classic ipod - no problems with the ipod.  
Sometimes the mp3 I have dragged onto iTune freezes iTunes and am unable often 
to do a Force Quit, so have to shutdown and restart the Mac.  I have recently 
noticed also that when playing from iTunes on the Mac, it now stops and starts 
- perhaps a 10 second time of silence and then it returns playing.

I have my iTunes library etc on a dedicated 2GB hard drive, which I installed 
into my Mac Pro - it is not an external hanging from a USB cord.

I tend to keep most of the mp3s in the iTunes library for future reference.  Of 
course, when the disc gets full, I will have to think about backing some files 
up on another hard drive for safe keeping.

I have been having better luck when transferring the mp3 files onto iSkysoft 
iMedia Converter Deluxe - for reformatting.  Basically I’m just reformatting an 
mp3 into an  mp3, as I suspect maybe the original file has something which 
iTunes does not like and the re-format eliminates it.  This process 98% of the

Hi Jewels,

A) How are you trying to Add these MP3 files into iTunes?

You can add them to iTunes in many ways:

* Drop them—either grouped or in a folder—on the iTunes icon.

* Choose File > Add to Library (Command-O) and select files or folders.

*Drop them in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. This is located in the 
iTunes Media folder, which by default is in your Music folder. iTunes adds any 
new content in this “watched” folder to your iTunes library and then deletes it 
from the folder.

B) What format were the original downloaded files, and what ‘program’ have you

You can convert audio files in iTunes to other formats.

ITUNES PROBLEM

[Julie Bedford]

Hi
I have been having the following problem since doing one of the itune updates.

I download a number of talks from various sites I am a member of - basically 
mp3s.
I do not have a problem downloading, but do when trying to transfer into 
itunes.  iTunes
freezes and usually I am unable to do a force quit and have to do a restart.

It is not every file I put into itunes, but enough to really be annoying.  I’ve 
tried the
various suggestions on the net without any success.  The last suggestion was 
MacKeeper,
but I resisted as I know Ronnie’s opinion on this software.  I have run the 
problematic mp3s
through a program which reformats to an mp3, which usually works, but not 
always.  

I’m currently running El Capitan OS.  

Looking forward to any suggestions

Re: iTunes problem

[Ronda Brown]

You should now be ok then.
In iTunes 12.4.1.6 if you have Movies selected (not Music or TV shows in top 
menu bar) you will then see in the Sidebar: Recently added, Movies, Genes, Home 
Videos.

I have heaps of movies imported into iTunes for watching on AppleTV4.
I also have PLEX Media Server on my MBP and ATV4 which holds all my Movies I 
prefer using it as it doesn't have the limitations of the built-in Apple TV 
apps and iTunes. Also PLEX Movies Library viewing interface is better.

PLEX is a media player and management system that serves videos, audio files, 
and photos to your AppleTV. It offers features far beyond what Apple provides, 
such as:
Playing video in multiple formats
Move versatile storage management than iTunes
Automatic metadata management

Re: iTunes problem

[Severin Crisp]

Though I have done nothing except look in the Preferences file to see that Home 
Sharing was correctly ON,  Home Videos now appears in the sidebar again!  



Yes, Home Sharing is on.  The problem is that the items appear on Apple TV but 
NOT on the iMac as they used to.  Where have they gone?  Other movies etc are 
there

Re: iTunes problem

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Severin,

Check you have Home Sharing enabled in iTunes,  iTunes is open,  and your 
computer is ON.

View Videos with Home Sharing

Once you’ve enabled Home Sharing, to access your iTunes movies from the Apple 
TV, open the Computers app on the Home screen. 
If you see an error message, be sure that the computer is on and has iTunes open

Computers shows videos in three categories: 
Movies, TV Shows, and Home Videos. Simply select a category, and then select 
the title you want to watch. 
You can sort within a category by name or genre, or view only unwatched titles 

Cheers,
Ronni

iTunes problem

[Severin Crisp]

I have a library of various movie items which I import into iTunes and view on 
Apple TV.  Access to this library on screen normally shows up.  It has now 
vanished.  Items are still there on Apple TV.  How do I get that lot to show 
again?

Itunes problem

[Colin Gordon]

Hi All,
Recently Itunes started playing the following song overlapping the  
previous one i.e. no gap between songs.
I've looked and looked but can't find a way to adjust the gap between  
songs (not talking about burning - just playing existing playlists)


Any help appreciated

Colin Gordon

Re: Itunes problem

[Mike Fuller]

Colin, have you checked the Crossfade Playback in the Playback  
section of iTunes prefs? If so, unchecking will restore the gap.


Cheers,

Mike

iTunes problem

[Severin Crisp]

I have just burnt an audio CD with Toast7 and given it a name.   When  
it mounts, iTunes gives it the name of the last CD I mounted and even  
names the track the same as the track on the earlier one.  It plays  
correctly.

How do I make iTunes change its mind on the naming?

iTunes Problem

[Dark Lord]

I have a friend who is running OS 10.2.1 on an 700Mhz Emac.
Every now and then iTunes comes up with the little icon that says the 
song can't be found. If he wants to be able to play the song again he 
has to relocate in his iTunes music folder or re-add it to his music 
library. The actual songs themselves do not go missing. I found this 
to be a rather curious problem. Does anyone have an interesting answer?
