Re: [apple-iphone] Disappearing Music

 

It would be hard for me to keep my iTunes datafiles on my boot partition, since the partition is about 165 GB, the drive is 250 GB and the datafiles are about 340 GB.

I also keep my iTunes library on an external drive, Drobo (RAID) to be exact, and point iTunes at it. No, I do not back it up.

My iTunes *library* is a few MB only, and is in my home directory where Apple put it.
/Users/jimdoc/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl
/Users/jimdoc/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml

My iTunes *datafiles* are located both on a (backed up) external drive (movies, TV shows and the like — multi-GB files) AND on my main drive (everything else).

Done properly, iTunes finds both kinds of items without problem, as long as the external drive(s) are connected.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?
With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.

[apple-iphone] Excess data in system services

 

I've got 7 gig in 20 days in documents and sync and time/location. 

I've been using Waze quite a bit, weather apps and location services. About the only change is using Waze more and recently I got the weather channel app.

Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Disappearing Music

 

I also keep my iTunes library on an external drive, Drobo (RAID) to be exact, and point iTunes at it. No, I do not back it up.

Early on, when iTunes was new, I vaguely remember loosing something. I think it was a movie, so it might have been compatibility. I honestly don't remember. I do remember having some difficulties with my audiobooks back then. But again, that was close to a dozen years ago.

One issue you need to deal with if you keep your iTunes library on other than your boot drive is that you must make sure that it is available and awake before you access iTunes in any way. The Drobo like to go to sleep. If not iTunes.app will create a new blank library on the boot drive. If you are not careful, any new additions will be stored on the boot drive library and not your chosen library. The solution for this easy enough, you copy or drag and drop the contents from your boot-drive library to your chosen library, and change the path in the preferences.

The above might explain some of the missing iTunes content.

I also keep my audiobooks and e-books in folders at the same level as iTunes (folder), below Music (folder). I keep my movies at the same level as the Music (folder).
The structure of my Music and iTunes library folders without my changes is a mix of the prior iTunes library structure and the current one. At least until OS X 10.7.5.

So other than a few minor losses, in the early days of iTunes, I have had not loses, and I am happy with iTunes. I am not a big music listener, but my iTunes folder is about 340 GB. In the past I have worked with an Apple engineer to try to fix the wandering pointer, but Apple chose to go with streaming from their servers instead. I like my stuff on my hardware.

[apple-iphone] Re: Disappearing Music

 

I have Media Monkey and AnyTrans can be found on their individual web sites.  Media Monkey has a free version and a premium version you pay for.  Anytrans, unfortunately, is not free, but doesn't cost much.  It is well worth the investment, because it does just what it says - copy anything to anything.  Really useful when you upgrade iPhones because the phone store and Apple won't migrate your music, just photos contacts and apps.  "You can always re-buy at the iTunes store" - yeah right.  Really arrogant and self-serving if you ask me.  Besides, my music came from vinyl, reel to reel, cassettes, and CD's I own.  So transferring tens of thousands of songs is almost an essential function to have.  As far as Mac versions of those programs, I have no idea.  I stay out of religious discussions like Mac vs. PC, but I am constrained to a PC because the scientific, CAD, and mathematical analysis programs I use for work are not, and never will be available in Mac versions.  End of story.  I am sure somebody on here can help you with an all Apple Mac suite of programs that do the same functions as Media Monkey and Anytrans - I can't be the only one on here who doesn't fit the mold of iTunes / sync / Apple music only.  I do know there are large external drives for Macs - in fact the one I bought will work with either.  They are good investments but only if you air gap them, connecting ONLY when you need to write or read something off them.  Networked is not good enough - ransomware will corrupt that, too.  Every single song, photograph, document, etc.   should be backed up every day to an air-gapped drive.  That way if you are hit you only lose a day's work and you can laugh at their comical ransom demand as you wipe you hard drive and re-install software.  If you do get hit, set up a mirror hard drive with all you OS, application programs, and settings - then set it aside or air gap it.  Saves time if you get hit (I never have).

Media Monkey is Windows-only. 

Any Trans is Windows and Mac.

Do you not keep backups of your computer, including music? Large external drives are *very* affordable these days.

Are both Media Monkey and AnyTrans found on their individual websites? Download via computer? Or iPhone? (I have a 6yo MacBook Air which is likely the last computer I'll ever own) 

I've been looking into iCloud; 200G for $3 a month. But I haven't confirmed music is part of the data plan. Anyone know? I've got a lot of old obscure music I'm trying to keep. (60's folk rock stuff etc)

Anytime something  strange happens to an iPhone or ipad, try a hard reboot. A hard reboot fixes many problems.

[apple-iphone] (unknown)

 

All of a sudden, my calendar has stopped taking new events.
I can edit date and time but title editing is not possible.

What could be the reason?

With best wishes,
