How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

I've tried updating iTunes for Windows but it won't work. I removed iTunes and downloaded the new version (10.6.1.7) but it won't load. It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.

Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

I migrated all data from old PC to new and iTunes successfully transferred to new PC. When I click on a song it says it cannot locate the original. How does one map iTunes file to iMusic to enable play from original files ?

HT201077 Why can't I access my iCloud albums from apps on my mobile devices?When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually. This is frustrating because

When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually. This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync. I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless. I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary. I want everything easy to organize and access. It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution. Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution. I have not found answers yet.

I have gotten about 4 emails with a quick time attatchment, but it won't play because it says it is in a format it can't read. Do I need to download some sort of additional software for this and if so what?

You might try adding Perian. It can help QT play a with a wide variety of formats.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

My ipod touch has software 2.2.1 but all the apps now require newer software. It won't update because it says it's the up to date software. do i need to buy a new ipod touch?

I can't update my ipod touch software because when i check for updates using itunes it says the software is up to date. Does this mean i have to get a newer ipod touch or is there a way to manually update the software to the newer versions?

You probably have a 1G iPod. See here:
Identifying iPod models
The 1G can go as far as 3.1.3. You can purchase that update here. You may have to use another browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

My purchased items won't play because it says cannot find file

When i go to play a song i have purchased from iTunes it says "The song 'xxx' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it now?".
There is no option to redownload it from the cloud.

iTunes uses a database to tell it which file to play when you click on a track. Either computer or human error has done something to make this information invalid. You can try to point iTunes to the correct file by saying "yes" when it asks you to find a file. If the file is truly gone from the computer and your country permits re-downloading delete the track completely from iTunes (even a bad link makes iTunes think the file is there somewhere) and it should appear in your download list.

Can I find the playlist for selected songs in my Library?

Is it possible to select a song in my itunes libary and find out which playlist it is in?

Depends on the version of iTunes you're using. The most recent version compatible with Tiger allows you to right-click (single button mouse - control/click) on a song. The contextual menu has a selection "show in playlist".
I'm not sure if this feature is available for iTunes compatible with OS X Jaguar. Worth a try.

While trying to upload an Audio file from a CD, iTunes won't let me. Says there is a duplicate file.

I have been successfully uploading Audio CDs for a Social Studies Textbook onto my iTouch. When I went to do this today, iTunes "Failed" because it says there is a duplicate file. I have not uploaded this new CD, so that is not possible. Each CD lists their "Tracks" the same way. Track 01, Track 02, etc, however I renamed previous tracks in iTunes.
I need to get these files uploaded so we can listen to them on the iTouch, but I have had no success today. The frustrating part is that I have done 3 CDs previously with no issues.
Even if I did find a duplicate file, I don't know how to delete the file. I do have 1 failed "Track 01" in the Recently Updated section, but it won't play, because it can't "locate" the file. When I try to delete in iTunes, "Delete" is greyed out and unavailable.
What do I need to do?

I keep getting 'check Internet connection' getting bit sick of it now ;( sorry cant help

I HAVE 29 DAYS LEFT FOR MY ACC BUT I CANT CREATE A VM BECAUSE IT SAYS IT HAS BEEN DISABLE ANY PROBLEM

That's nice. Tomorrow you will have 28 days.
What kind of ACC do you have? Nobody that reads posts is omnipotent or has ESP or can read your mind.
Also if you want to converse in English then you need to learn English to the point that you can actually write constructive sentences and paragraphs in English including the proper use of Upper Case, Lower Case and punctuation to some degree.
Otherwise write in your own language on a translator like google translate and paste the translation into your post.
Also you would notice that this forum was supposed to be retired 8/22/2008 if you'd read the stickies in it before posting to it. Which I would suppose is why almost all questions in it go unanswered.

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?

Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!

HT4623 How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes

How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes.
There does not appeare to be any doenloadable files in the download section.

"Well that's totally unacceptable."
Actually you can only accept it, as it is the way it is. You may not like it, but it is so. Sorry.
" your seriously telling me that Apple expect me to download the same huge file 8 TIMES"
That is exactly what I am telling you.
" No way."
Still true.
"Apple are going to have to come up with another solution."
No. They do not have to do any such thing. They may choose to do so in the future, but there is no reason to believe that they will.
