    I have all of my songs on an external hard drive.  It was working fine with iTunes; now when I click on a song, I get an error message that the song cannot be located.  What happended and more importantly, how can I fix this?

    Is this an iPad issue? Not sure where you are "clicking" or how you are accessing. A little more info would help.

    I purchased the entire season of the Pacific from the iTunes Store.  After downloading 3 of 11 episodes, I continue to receive an error message that the remaining episodes could not be downloaded at this time.  This has continued for several days.  There is plenty of room on my iPad 2.

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
    There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
    Hope this helps,

  • When selecting a song to play in iTunes, I get an error message indicating the song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it.  I have no idea where to look since the library hold all my files.

    When selecting a song to play from iTunes library, I continually get an error message indicating the original file could not be found.  Then asks, would you like to locate it?  Does anyone know how to fix this?   I'm not even able to play the songs I purchased due to this error message.  Any ideas how to remedy this problem? 
    Thanks

    It would help to have more background about your iTunes collection such as if you keep it on an external drive, or if you have moved or renamed anything recently.  iTunes is very sensitive to you renaming or moving files or folders involved with your media.  iTunes only keeps a reference to where a media file is located  and then goes to look for it when you try to play it. If you have changed things since it was added to itunes then it's like me sending you to look for a friend in my addressbook but that friend has moved.
    The other possibility is your computer is starting to lose files.  Again, the computer uses a reference database to tell it where on the drive to look for a file. If that database gets corrupt then it starts losing files.  Use Dsk Utility's first aid to verify your hard drive.

  • I am unable to add Firefox for some reason. I get a message that "the addon could not be downloaded because of a connection error on Mozilla.addons..."

    I am running Firefox 10 on my MacBook Pro. I have tried several times to download the Firebug addon, but get the following message:
    "The addon could not be downloaded because of a connection error on Mozilla.addons.org"

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
    -> right-click somewhere, click '''New''' -> select '''String'''
    * name it '''xpinstall.enabled''' and set the value to '''True'''
    -> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
    All the downloads should work now. If you delete this value some time later it still works.
    Check and tell if its working.

  • HT4527 I transeferred my itunes to a new computer via external hard drive, however over 4000 plus songs have a ! mark beside it and they cannt be played as itunes states that the location can not be found.  how do i fix this so all my music can be played.

    Hi
    I recently moved my itunes to a new computer by using a external hard drive.
    However my itunes music is not all playable.  over 4000 songs have a ! mark and when tried to be played or copied to ipod or iphone, it says that this song cannot be found and asks to locate it. 
    How do i fix this problem so that all my songs are available in itunes

    It is probably best to start over. These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • TS3212 Somehow I am unable to play my songs in itunes. When i go to play a song I get a message informing me that the file can not be located. How do I fix this. I have had no problems in the past.

    Can someone tell me how to fix a problem I have with itunes. I keep getting a message when I try and play a song on itunes that tells me I cant play the song because it cant find the file. I have never had this problem before. How do I fix it, Please.

    Have you moved, renamed or deleted the original files?
    Has another programme on your computer moved, renamed or deleted the files?
    Have you just created this iTunes Library?
    Have you recently added the missing music music from an external hard drive?
    If it's none of the above, what have you been doing recently? For example, have you been "sorting" your files in your file manager?

  • I have tried to download books to my kobo and get an error message that the document is not currently authorized to my adobe ID.

    I have already contacted Kobo who told me to uninstall the ADE 4.0 and install the ADE 3.0.  I've done this, and nothing.  I've erased the authorization for the kobo that was still there, and authorized it again.  Everything is authorized.  I've even tried borrowing a second book and downloading.  These books are showing in my ADE as being in the kobo.  On my kobo ereader device, the icons for the book are black.

    The Kobo and the ADE are authorized to the same Adobe ID.  I have double checked everything.

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:
