Have you ever had trouble with iTunes not finding the original song file on your computer and therefore unable to play a song? This usually happens when there is an exclamation point icon to the left of the song name. To fix this problem, you need to delete the song from your music library and then re-drag it in. However, if you have a lot of songs to delete, doing it individually will take forever.
Luckily, there is a quick and easy fix that will allow you to select all the songs you want to delete and delete them at once. In the old iTunes, there was a little menu bar up top where you could edit and then select all the songs. However, in the new iTunes, this menu bar is hidden. Here’s how to access it:
1. Go to the top left corner of your iTunes window and click on the little icon.
2. Select “Show Menu Bar” from the dropdown menu.
3. The menu bar will now appear at the top of your iTunes window.
4. Click on “Edit” and then “Select All”.
5. Every single song in your music library is now selected.
6. Right-click and select “Delete” to delete all the selected songs.
It’s that simple! No more individually deleting songs one by one. With this quick fix, you can delete multiple songs at once and free up space in your iTunes library. Give it a try and see how much time and effort it saves you.
Hope this little tutorial was helpful. Until next time, happy listening!
