It seems to have gone away. My HDD replacement was simply from a 500 GB Western Digital to a 1TB Western Digital. What I did was launch itunes in safe mode. It would go into "retrieving gapless playback info" and freeze on certain songs. I deleted the songs (Had to terminate itunes and delete the problem song, start again like 6 times) but it finished and seems good now. What a stupid pain in the rear end.

Anyone know a free-quick-n-easy PC program for getting FLAC files into iTunes?

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/db-versions.htm This lets you convert to ALAC, which freac apparently doesn't.

Not sure if this should go in the iPhone thread or not, but here we go: I've got all my devices set to download new purchases (Books, Apps and Music) automatically. This seems to be working OK. Except for when I purchase music on my iPhone. When I do this, the next time it syncs with iTunes it download duplicates of the songs I just purchased. I think this is because I have automatic playlists syncing to my phone, one of with is music added to itunes in the last 30 days. It seems like it's bought on my phone, downloaded on my phone, downloaded to itunes, then synced back to the phone because it doesn't know it's already there. What's the easiest way to combat this?

You could also always pick the destination to be the "~Add to iTunes" directory in your library as well. However I'm not sure if the file appears while it's converting, or after, or if that even matters.

Not exactly related to iTunes, but is there any way to send my girlfriend our itunes library (140gb) without actually sending her a portable harddrive in the mail? I think that there are three problems and I'm pretty close to just doing the portable harddrive thing: 1. The first problem is the fact that it's nearly 30 000 files, somehow, and I don't want to compress it because then the music will sound terrible. 2. The second is the size, obviously. I can't find a free hosting solution for a 140gb file. 3. Even if I can solve 1. and 2., there's the problem of upload speed. My ISP seems to top out at .3mbps up. That means that a 140gb file will take about 324 days to upload, if my arts-degree math is at all correct and it holds top speed the whole time. The other option is DVDs, but that's 29 DVDs I'd rather not meticulously burn, while somehow splitting the whole library perfectly into 29 4.7gb chunks, then paying shipping on a literal stack of DVDs. Am I missing something here? Has anyone sent 140gb of data over the internet before?

Uhhh you might be able to set up a private web server, set up a torrent tracker, and then use bittorrent to transfer it there. Not something I've done for about seven years unfortunately so I can't be of much help.

So I store everything on iTunes Match only, nothing locally. I'm having issues with random tracks in my library becoming unplayable forever until I delete them and re-add the local file. If I just try to the play the track, it gets skipped silently. If I try to download it I get this: Usually it's just random tracks, but I had half of one album die all at the same time once for some reason. Edit: And it's happening with my iPhone too. You're slipping, Tim This problem is slowly eating away at my library so I might end up ditching Match soon.

The iPhone is positively sluggish if you have iTunes Match on and want to play music, and then you run into streaming issues a lot. Kind of a mixed bag; not as good as I had hoped.

iTunes 10.6.1.7, Win 7 iTunes insists on synching all of my movies (8) and TV Episodes (210) to my 32gb iPhone 4s, which then (suprise!) chokes on the 139gb overage. Un-checking "Sync TV Shows" and "Sync Movies" or any combination of settings allowing it to only synch say 3 or 6 episodes and 1 movies is useless because when I click "Apply" it undos all of my changes at trys to stuff 139gb of video into a 32gb device again! It seems be related to iTunes re-checking the "Include Movies (or TV Shows) from Playlists -> Purchased" box. Please help me tame iTunes!

Do you have those also in a playlist, and have the iPhone try to sync those playlists? I know for some of my shows/movies, they are in smart playlists, so even though the Movies and TV Shows Libraries are turned off, some of them will still attempt to go into my iPhone. Hell, I watch them from the "Music" app even.

I just installed a SSD with a fresh copy of Windows 7. I downloaded iTunes again and of course it wants me to erase all my music to sync. I tried to check 'manage manually' but it still wants to erase all my music. Any good way to go about it? I also am cleaning out a bunch of my music. In itunes, I picked the folder where all my music is (on another drive) and let it do its thing. 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.

Managed songs, upon deleting, ask if you also want to remove them from your hard drive completely.

Are you deleting the songs from the Library, or a playlist? Because if you just delete them while looking at a playlist, they're in the Library still. If you option delete a song from a playlist, then it will ask you to delete it from your computer as well. Could be wrong about this, but who knows. I've not had this problem, and I have iTunes manage my library.

I recently had a problem with a corrupted library file on my iTunes install and I fixed it by having iTunes reimport the old library file as a new one. The only problem is my iOS devices now recognize this as a different library despite everything being the same. In particular I'm worried about losing a bunch of my saved games from apps that don't support iCloud. Do I have any options? I'm running on windows if it matters.

Even if it recognizes it as a different library it shouldn't delete your apps. It's only media files like movies/music that it cares about. You should be able to run a backup from iTunes (or to iCloud) beforehand for peace of mind as well.

I was checked the backup on iCloud and under the list of backups it only has a couple games on it and not any of the ones that I was worried about keeping (Chrono Trigger and Ghost Trick mostly). When I connect the phone to my computer to sync I have to recheck the Sync boxes and it says something to the effect of "All existing apps and their data on the iPhone will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library" which sounds like I'm going to lose everything.
