This iTunes guide holds 50+ pages of great iTunes tips and tricks along with illustrative screenshots, written by our very own Mac writer Jackson Chung.
iTunes is a great way to organize and manage your music and video library. It is also the most popular music player/manager around, very visually aesthetic and at the same time, simple to use. It’s perfect for handling large libraries containing thousands of songs.
If you are an owner of an iPhone or iPod Touch, that’s even more reason to use iTunes. With iTunes, you can easily sync and transfer songs, audiobooks, movies, TV series and mobile applications to your Apple device.
The iTunes book has got plenty of cool iTunes tips and tricks for you, some were published on MakeUseOf before and others were collected from different parts of web. Among other things it illustrates easy ways to
- automatically organize and tag your music
- add lyrics & cover art to your songs
- share your iTunes library with others
- create ring tones from your songs
- access your iTunes library from other PCs and mobile devices
- control iTunes via the iPhone or even using your hands and feet
- use AppleScripts
- use iTunes shortcuts

how do download music on your itunes
There are several ways in which you can add music to your library. First if you have any kind of CD collection you can import it using iTunes. If you have media on your computer in terms of mp3’s or any other compatible format for iTunes you can simply drag and drop it into iTunes. Or the third way you can buy music online.
If you would like nice visual content to appear in your iTunes library with all your tags and album artwork you can use a software like TunesUp (not free) to edit the metadata, or several other free versions like Media monkey (windows) to edit it.
I am using CHROME and same problem.
YES I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WORK PLEASE SOME BOTY EXPLAINT ME WHATS GOING ON ATTANGEL440@YAHOO.COM
Angel,
you can download the PDF manuals for free by subscribing to our newsletter. When you subscribe, you will be sent a password. When you click the Download Now link and enter the password, you can download the guide.
I am a subscriber with a password using Chrome and I can not download this Guide either (or any other of the 50). I am sent to a blank page.
Tried again using Facebook login. Same blank page.
I am using Chrome and can’t reproduce your issues. You may have to confirm the download, a Save / Cancel option should appear in the bottom left corner of Chrome. Other than that, the only explanation I can think of is browser add-ons that block the download.
I tried to download a guide but was unsuccessful. Can you help me? Thanks
Raymond,
are you on Mac OSX? Please try another browser, there is an issue with the latest version of Chrome.
Raymond,
please try again. We updated the form and you will now see a Download Link when entering the right password. Please do let us know in case it still doesn’t work. Thank you!
I am watching to see if someone actually responds with an explanation and fix. I have tried Safari, Firefox, and it gives the same “blank page” result. I also tried right-clicking on the download URL , and that does not work either. It looks like I am not alone in having difficulty actually downloading your content. Please help.
Danny,
in response to the complaints we have updated the download form again the other day. You should now see a Download Link and instructions when you enter the correct password. Please let us know in case it still doesn’t work. Thank you!
there is no use no downloads just wasting the time in waiting
Narendra,
we updated the download form the other day, did you try again since then?
Same problem here on firefox,please tell me how 2 download?????
The download works like a charm. TY for sharing this book.
All you have to do is when the Blue words ‘Download Link’ appear
‘Right Click’ ON those words and pick ‘Save TARGET As’
- save it where ever you want… desktop, file or folder.
Thanks again!!
PS – It worked using IE.
Ok, so I shared the likk on Facebook. It required me to log on, which I did. After the logon the facebook page went away and NOTHING! What’s up?
Did you use the sharing links that are listed in the ‘How To Download’ part of the post when sharing the link on Facebook? The download link appears only when the page is shared using one of those buttons.
POS as I expected. I sure hope my contaacts have not been spammed.
yea, the but problem is the words “download link” DO NOT EVER APPEAR!
Could you please send us a screenshot of what you see on the page after entering the password or sharing it using one of the listed buttons.
Thanks a ton !!!
Yo good morning America get up and go to work or where ever u suppose to go
Look i must say, it took me approx 6 months to learn all the things in this tutorial through various videos, surfing the net and experimenting.
It would have been better and i may have saved a lot of time, if i would have got this before.
Anyways amazing piece of work.
thanks for the kind words, glad to hear you could make use of our guide
What a scam! Did you capture my FB login info? If you click the link to subscribe to the newsletter and you have a good anti-virus running, it alerts you to the presence of the tracking cookie they just gave you.
Db, there are numerous tracking cookies used on this website – as there are on every other website – from various advertisers and analytics (hit counter) systems. At no point is a “tracking cookie” able to capture your personal data or FB login info. A tracking cookie is a text file, which stores data the system puts there for later retrieval. It isn’t a virus, and it’s quite normal to have them I assure you. I would suggest you download a “virus scanner” that isn’t quite as paranoid as the one you use now. If you have concerns about one tracking cookie in particular, tell us the name of it and I will explain what it’s used for precisely.
If you clicked the Facebook button to “like” the page and unlock the download, then you would have needed to authenticate with Facebook for obvious reasons (if you weren’t already logged in). It is impossible to capture any of your login info by simply clicking like.
If you clicked the login/create account Facebook button at the top , then it will have asked for your permission to access basic user info data – we use that to create an account here at MakeUseOf. We require an email address and name to create an account – those are pulled from Facebook , which you give explicit permission to do – but your password is not revealed to us at any stage.
Does that clear things up for you?
It is wonderful. I downloaded many guides. I would just say “Awesome”. The download works very very smoothly.
luv your hints about everything. thanx
I will see if this is helpful or not
No problem downloading. Excellent guide!! Thanks so much!!!
