I don't think iTunes Match does anything for videos, however.

It also has limitations around the syncing of Smart Playlists, but is pretty reliable for syncing regular playlists that you edit manually.

So I'm having a curious problem. After manually copying my iTunes media folder from my old to my new Air (a folder located on my desktop as I've set it in iTunes preferences), my existing library works fine. And any new song that I add by moving it to the "automatically add to iTunes" subfolder is added to my library and plays fine. But for some reason any such song creates extra copies of itself in my library either randomly or whenever I reopen iTunes after closing. "Keep iTunes media folder organized" is checked, and "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library is unchecked" as they've always been. And I've tried giving everyone read/write permissions to the iTunes media folder, but this doesn't change anything. Anyone have any idea what might cause this behavior? edit: Solved the problem. It was either the external drive that I used to transfer the library folder changing permissions, or setting the AATI subfolder when there was already one in there that was the culprit (probably the former, since using an SDHC Card to re-transfer solved it).

Ok. I've been having a problem for sometime and I finally got around to addressing it. I have an iPhone 4 (7.0.6) jailbroken. I have iTunes (11.2.2.3). I am trying to just transfer music files from my PC (Windows 7) to my iPhone. 1) I don't use iTunes as my music management system or player on my PC. I just use it for the iPhone backups, syncing, etc. 2) I used to be able to do this fine, like a year or 2 ago. I was able to import music into my iTunes library then directly onto my device (iPhone). I did a full restore about a year ago, re-jailbroke my phone a little after iOS 7 came out and never got around to getting music back on my phone. Since then, I have been keeping my iTunes updated. Now when I try to import music into my iTunes library and onto my device it won't let me. I try to drag and drop. I try to use the Add to >> iPhone feature and still no dice. Tried syncing from a folder. My iPhone comes up recognized and everything. 3) I can purchase stuff from the app store like music/videos and download it and it will go into my media library on my iPhone fine, but I have gigs and gigs of songs on my PC and I want to throw a few albums onto my phone. The weird thing is I have 1 album on my iPhone that I purchased from the iTunes store and when I plug my phone into my PC, that album does not show up in my phone music library on iTunes. Says I have zero items. What is causing this and why can't I get music from my PC to my iPhone? My phone has been jailbroken for 3 years and I never had this issue before. I was able to transfer music before. It's when I did a full restore for iOS 7 and jailbroke it a few months later and all these new iTunes updates came out that I can't do it anymore. Anyone? Thanks.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, I tried a forum search but came up short. I have two Macs, iPad, iPhone, and a Qnap NAS and want to try to make them all work together properly... meaning I'd somehow like the bulk of the data on the NAS (music, apps, books, audiobooks, etc), but have the music accessible from either Mac, be able to sync/transfer files to the IOS devices from either Mac, and hopefully have that music available to other things on my network that can play music over the network (like a future Apple TV or connected home theater receiver for example). I'd really like to not have to assume that one Mac is always turned on as well. Is this possible? I think ideally the iTunes music and library would be on the NAS, but I'm not sure if I can do that and have either Mac open it without having conflicts between them. Has anyone else done this? From the reading I've done, it doesn't look like Home Sharing does this, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

iTunes really isn't built to support two computers. At the best you can tell both libraries to use the iTunes Library files on the network, but not at the same time. There are the files that are usually in your ~/Music/ folder, and if you can share that from one to another, and just remember to quit one copy of iTunes before you launch the other, then you could share it. Have you thought about using something to just stream the audio from the iTunes library on one computer to the other? Then you could just use the "Remote" app on your iPhone to control the other Mac playing the music which streams the audio to the other one. I do this to stream music from my Mac to my Windows desktop via Shareport4w, and to my Linux based HTPC via XBMC. I just looked up some programs and there's AirMac that can take the audio as well. EDIT: Oh yeah, Apple only likes you to sync from one computer at a time too, so you're really stuck with one library for that reason too.

I work at a few schools and had my office computers at each authorized in iTunes match. They changed the computers without warning and now I can't deauthorize, and I've reached my limit with 9 months to go before I can deauthorize all again. Is there anything I can do or should I just cancel Match?

So I've been experiencing weird things with podcasts lately. 1) When I select multiple podcasts to delete, it asks me if I want to delete them. I say yes, and they don't delete. If I do this a second time, they delete. 2) Frequently, I will find iTunes downloading podcasts that I have deleted/removed from my podcast list. Anyone else experiencing this?

2 happened to me all the loving time before I gave up and went Downcast. I especially liked it with podcasts like "Desert Island Disks" that I only actually download if I like the guest and aren't actually subscribed to had their entire archive downloaded while I was asleep about once a month.

Managing podcasts are a goddamn nightmare now. I was downloading episodes and then syncing with an old 3GS iphone. I've since upgraded my HTC phone to an iphone 5. I like that I can download and stream on my phone but I prefer my old 'downloading on my computer and syncing' method. Downloading through my phone creates weird duplicates. I like having a hard copy of an episode since a lot of podcasts take episodes off their stream. I have an odd method of listening to podcasts which includes listening from the beginning, in order. Deleting episodes on my phone means itunes on my mac will stop downloading until I choose to keep syncing on my phone (don't want to, I only sync unplayed) or delete the files (which means the files from my computer hard drive).

Every other page of the iOS Apps thread is someone talking about their favorite podcast app. I don't listen to podcasts anymore, so I can't really speak to the quality of them. But it seems that most people take iTunes out of the loop and use a 3rd party app.

It's still possible to have this experience. You just need to make sure you turn off things like autodelete. And if you are syncing a 3GS and an iphone 5, you're pretty much best off, in my opinion, using itunes and the stock podcasting app. There are alternatives but in my experience, they're all worse for one reason or another than just changing the settings on itunes. Well, at least normally it's possible. This build and the last build have had some bugs that have impacted the part where itunes actually downloads the podcast which sort of makes the "download on to your computer" part difficult. Submit bug reports. Apple is pretty responsive to them and they're trying to stomp this out.

I'm getting an HDCP error on ST-50 Panasonic TV when I hook up my laptop with an HDMI cable and try to play an HD movie from iTunes. It says the TV has HDCP in it's manual. Is this normal? Rather disappointing if so

Not sure if somebody's run into this already, but I found a sorta-bug in iTunes 12. It still depends on Album, Album Artist, Track, and Disk being set for files to be organized properly (if you're one of those weirdos who cares about actual file structure), and it sometimes* displays these values when you right click a show you've manually added and click Get Info. However, if you delete the value for one of these fields when it's displayed, it vanishes from the Get Info panel, and you can't add it again from inside iTunes - the only way to fix it is to use an external metadata-editing app like Subler. * I can't figure out why it shows the extraneous fields sometimes but not other times. I've got some files with nearly identical metadata where some will show one or more of those fields in Get Info and some won't, even when both have values set and being used for them.

So I think my ISP is loving with my connection to the iTunes servers. I cannot connect to iTunes Match or iTunes Radio over my home verizon fios connection. At all. Nothing. Just time outs all the time. The minute I hop on my LTE connection, it's instantaneously up and ready to go. So it's not on apples end, it's verizon. Somewhere or somehow they're loving up. Has anyone else had this problem? It's been several days, and for whatever reason, my connection to the iTunes store for purchasing music is 100% fine but Match and Radio are impossible to get to. Is verizon throttling those services or what?

Who the gently caress thought that was a good idea? Podcasts are hosted by the podcast producer, not Apple, so they put that feature in to try and reduce the load on third party servers. That doesn't make it any less annoying but that's why it's there.

I just had a crazy problem where as I played tracks from two Yes albums, they disappeared from the album and appeared in an identical version of the album. When it got to the end, the original album disappeared. This was in album view. It freaked me out.

The library would update those files as you play them. They would have also updated if you did "Get Info" on them. I do this sometimes if I have a low bitrate mp3, and I want to update it from something other than re-ripping the CD. I change the filename and re-write the file. iTunes will still show 128k or whatever, but when I Get Info on the file, it shows the higher bitrate. Sometimes the other tags change "Money" to "Money [Digital + Booklet]" or something, and that all changes when it looks at the file again.

The album title did change from something like "Close to the Edge (bonus tracks)" to "Close to the Edge (Remastered)." If the store did that, I'm kind of worried about the implication that what I've downloaded is subject to being swapped out with different files or tied to the store's database.
