If you purchased an sd version of a movie can you upgrade to hd or whole new purchase?
Yes. I basically have a playlist called iPhone. I delete an album there, plug the Phone in or do wireless sync and the album is deleted from the device. If I drag and drop an album into the playlist, it is added on the next sync. That way your play counts, ratings, etc. are all being saved across syncs and you open up the ablity to use smart playlists that use that data. Try it out. Grab a couple songs or a whole album and drag to the right of the screen. You can also click the arrow next to an album name or song and select a playlist from a drop down menu. Much better way to manage music than dragging and dropping onto the actual device.
EDIT: for podcasts, I just sync the newest episode and all unplayed. You can manage podcast stuff by going into the device settings.

I had all my music backed up on an external drive. I had logged into itunes to start iTunes match. ITunes matched showed all my music. I then dragged the music folder into itunes with the hopes of just adding the files to my internal drive without readding them to itunes. this didn't work. now i have duplicates of all my music. it shows two songs, one in the cloud and one on my computer, and it is trying to match and upload all of the songs on my computer. all i want is for my music to be on my internal hard drive and in the cloud without having to redownload all my music. any ideas? help.
I might be misunderstanding things, but have you read through this apple document? It might help in "properly" re-adding your files. Just copy-pasting them over will make iTunes crap its pants.

Anyone know why in this view it won't show my album art for some movies, but instead a screenshot from the movie? I clearly have the album artwork in place...
I'm more inclined to blame iOS6 if you're on that.

Jeez, at least update to 10.7.
Speaking of composers, does anyone know if there is a way to separate writers if a song has more than one writer? For example "John Lennon & Paul McCartney" is listed as one writer, which just gets messy. It would be cool to just see what songs Lennon wrote and co-wrote in one list.
What sort of features are included that would make the upgrade worth it? Since I'm a very light user of iTunes and don't have iOS 6.

Mostly stability and security updates, but you can play 1080p video from the iTunes Store and convert songs to 128, 196, and 256 bitrates.

itunes store ingrains some of their mp3s with that nonsense
unchecking that doesnt get rid of it

Oh wow that sucks. A quick google search led me to this OSX program, if this helps

I fixed it with the Subler. Thanks. However, I lost the original files in the folder replacing them so for some reason I only have one song of the four in the "In Copenhagen 1960" folder. So if I backup and something happens I will lose three songs even if they are in my library. What the hell?!
And the labels are adding the Clean and Explicit tags. I don't even know why, because those songs are instrumental.
Edit: Never mind, I fixed it... I think.

Adding cover art on iTunes via "Get Info" didn't make it permanent, it seems. I just moved my collection over to another computer and most of my album art wouldn't make the transition. How do I fix this in the future? I spent a TON of time finding high-res images for albums that iTunes couldn't find.
I hope they bring back the Spectrum Analyzer.
How did you move it? If you moved the "iTunes" folder in its entirety to a new computer, it should carry over everything, including play counts and custom artwork.
Have you checked the tags? They should be saved there, independent of the computer. If not, I think iTunes saves them somewhere in a cache folder on the old computer (so you could theoretically retrieve them).

thats odd.. i thought when you added covert art manually it gets imbedded in the mp3 itself
If you're using a Mac, you can use this AppleScript to embed artwork into the file itself. If you get any parameter errors, it means you're missing artwork for that song.

I pulled music from the same folder on the same external hard drive.
I just checked one of the albums in question and there doesn't appear to be any art attached to it.
I don't understand how this works. iTunes doesn't have a "Scripts" menu as far as I can tell (the instructions refer to it).

It will show up once you put the script in there (make sure to restart iTunes)

I did that and I still don't see anything.
EDIT: I tried just loading it directly from the folder after highlighting an album, and nothing happened. I'd go back and start re-adding everything, but I'd hate to do that if I couldn't guarantee they'd stay there.

It's in ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts? There should be a script icon in the menubar. Works here with iTunes 11 on 10.8.2.

Derp, I see it now. But it still isn't working (it doesn't add artwork back to my music, I mean).
Probably not the right place for this, but can someone check something out for me. When I search the UK store for "his n hers" I see three Pulp albums listed, the first one appears to contain all of the content that the deluxe edition does (and more), but it's only £4.99 instead of £10.99.
Not normally one for deluxe editions, but as this is cheaper than the standard edition and by all accounts seems to be a decent release I'm tempted.
Same release date as well, so I assume the tracks are the same. Any Pulp fans that might be able to shed some light?

hey guys, i posted this in the mac os x thread, but i guess this thread is more fitting.
i have a bit of an ios/mac itunes issue here. i am a huge user of the apple remote app on ipad. i am ripping my bf's tv collection to his computer and organizing it in his itunes so that he can browse them on his ipad in the apple remote app, select an episode and have it play on his television.
my big issue is that i want the seasons to show as much information as an itunes tv season would. this includes air-date, episode description, etc. i used metax to enter the airdates and put all the other information into the episodes in itunes. in itunes, the ripped tv seasons look exactly the same as an itunes store tv season. awesome, right?
well, the apple remote app does not show any of this information. it just shows the episode names. no air date, no episode description. does anyone know what i can do in itunes to make it give this data to the remote app? what am i missing? all of that work entering in the airdates and episode descriptions is now pointless since it doesn't show in the app. it's not like he will be on his computer choosing an episode to play on the tv in another room of the house.

Sorry I'm not much help, as I don't know the answer. iTunes can be a mystery sometimes. I was under a similar conundrum as I added some info to a movie I ripped and wanted it to show up on my iPad but it doesn't. I guess the metadata is somehow populated differently.
Edit: quick research in my issue reveals that there is a 'long description' area that shows on iPad:

Not sure but it may be the same reason why you don't see it on the remote app.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU. it works...somehow? not really sure haha. i just entered the episode description into the popup but in the remote app it also started showing the airdate for that episode....awesome.

I wish they would make it so everything synced over iCloud. Especially Smart Playlists. Let me explain in detail...
Right now on iOS6 and iTunes 11 you have to sync via iTunes when you change a playlist. Especially Smart Playlists which are dynamic and can update based on your plays and all sorts of things. They change constantly as you use your music.
But when you sync to an iOS device, all metadata is discarded. Smart Playlists are flattened to normal lists and solidified as they currently are in iTunes. If you play your music from a playlist on iOS6 that would normally change song positions and such or if you change a star rating (Which can also be used to add or remove songs from said playlists) nothing happens until you sync to iTunes again.
What Apple needs to do is make these Smart Playlists sync completely and have everything update in realtime on iOS the same way it does in iTunes. Do it all over the internet via iCloud. Make it so you NEVER need to use iTunes to update a playlist again. If you have an iPad and an iPhone and you have the same playlist on each and you play music on one device, it should automatically update itself on the other device. Change its rating, BOOM, changed on the other device. And as soon as you open iTunes again, BOOM it's already synced.
It is really annoying that it doesn't work this way. Especially when you have multiple iOS devices. Not only that but not being able to create or edit Smart Playlists on an iOS device is sad too.
And please don't make it a paid premium feature that requires iTunes Match either.

Is there ANY way to view play count in artist/album view?
