Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Disappearing Music

 

Have you updated iTunes to the latest version?  I notice that the revision cycles for iOs and iTunes are often linked.


Your songs are gone on the phone.  Your only option at this point is to re-load them manually.  Always always set iTunes to manually sync - don't let it sync automatically or every time you hook up your device your songs are in danger.  It sounds like iTunes doesn't think your music library exists, and is doing what it does best - syncing your phone with a library that has zero songs.  If you let it complete, all your songs would be gone.  That is the power - and the danger - of syncing instead of writing songs.  Which is why I switched to media monkey - it treats the phone like another folder on your computer into which it writes song files.  I used to be able to do that in iTunes - it had a folder view on the left and I could write one song at a time as I ripped it.  Then they took away that folder view and I can't find any way to get iTunes to just write one song at a time onto my phone.  Maybe somebody knows where that option is or how to get folder view back in the current iTunes.  I have nothing against iTunes as long as I can get it to do what I want, and never ever try to sync my phone - taking a long time and potentially deleting songs.

> I have no idea how Macs partition hard drives, but I do know it is a very lengthy process to install new software on one. My daughter had to have MS Office on her Mac for her work, I think it took 4 hours to install on a really high end Mac laptop.

The default is for the MacOS installation to create a "Recovery" partition of about 1 GB, and the rest of the drive is a single large partition.

Software that is properly written following Apple Programming Guidelines installs in seconds after being unpacked.

Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Disappearing Music

 

I am still unable to load new music onto my iPhone (6+, 128G, iOS 10.3.3) - it sits at "adding music" in iTunes, stanching, but never does. I have to turn phone off to stop sync after 15 minutes of nothing. I'm not sure if it's still deleting songs, but half (around 10,000) are no longer on phone. I have never set to sync to iCloud nor automatically. Any clues what to do?

Re: [apple-iphone] Disappearing Music

 

Interesting.  I am so sick of new computers that partition large hard drives with a "boot partition" that is barely large enough for windows, and then the rest of the drive is a data partition.  Only problem is - windows puts userfiles on the boot partition and it fills up fast.  First thing I do when buying a new computer - reformat the hard drive as one large partition, install Windows clean, install programs.  That way I get rid of annoyances like MS Office trialware, antivirus trialware, etc.  My old hard drive gets installed in the extra bay as a backup / data archive.  Or I use it as an external drive.  


I have no idea how Macs partition hard drives, but I do know it is a very lengthy process to install new software on one.  My daughter had to have MS Office on her Mac for her work, I think it took 4 hours to install on a really high end Mac laptop.

Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Disappearing Music

 

I was interested in your comment that AnyTrans can "copy anything to anything".  Does that include transferring music from an iPod Classic to a PC running Windows 7?  I put all my CD music into my Mac Book Pro and then transferred that onto my iPod Classic.  Now I would also like to transfer all my music onto my PC as well, so that I will have it on all three devices........is this possible to do with Media Monkey or AnyTrans?  Or is there a better way to transfer from iPod to PC?

Thanks in advance,
Lynn

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).

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 didn't suggest you should store all your datafiles on your boot drive. But — how large are those 2 files I referenced — the *library* files?

The iTunes video collection on my *external* drive (a partition of a 2 TB drive, connected by Thunderbolt 2) is 212 GB, but the "everything else", on my 512 GB internal SSD, is "only" 89 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.

[apple-iphone] Re: Disappearing Music

 

oh the joys of getting a new computer.  iTunes completely let me down when I tried to give the path preference to the library on the old hard from the old computer drive - mounted in an external drive case.  The entire folder is there, iTunes simply would not allow it to be utilized in any way.  It still is there - in the forlorn hope that some future revision of iTunes gets its file management done right.  Fortunately I had only bought a few songs from iTunes, the overwhelming majority of my songs are rips from albums, reel-to-reel, cassette, and CD.  So I just use iTunes for what it is good at - buying an occasional song from Apple - and using something else now to write music and movies to my iPhone and iPads.  when I buy a song from the iTunes store, I now immediately rip it to another format and put it with the rest of my library.  Being free of the restrictive iTunes feels very secure!  My music is not subject to the whims of a piece of software that has funny ideas about how to manage music.
