I had to uninstall my itunes off my computer for technical reasons.  Now that I have installed back most of my music won't play....the error says cannot locate original file.  How can I fix this? 

If you didnt cut and paste your music from the original location, it should still be there!
Go to the original Location of your music, Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the quick advice!
    Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
    Here's the error log after the restart:

  • I recently purchased a new computer and tried to move my itunes music to the new PC, I am not savay on computers, but music will not play on new PC, error (!) will not play and have to locate.  Why is this please help.

    please help, someone that doesn't have the savay on moving music from an old pc to a new pc.  Music will not play message comes up and have to search. also purchased music from iPhone and does not show on my music library on PC.  This is very frustrating.  Thank you

    It all depends on exactly how you move the library from one machine to the other. The database holding information about your library is normally in a folder called iTunes, with the media in a subfolder called iTunes Media. In this layout you can usually copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other and it will work. If the media folder is split to a new location however then often the links to tracks will fail on a new computer.
    You shoud find that the FindTracks script is able to repair the links in your library.
    I'm not sure I know what is going on with the purchased music, however if you enable Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music you should be able to recover your past store purchases.

  • Content on MSN.CA Homepage not working now that I upgraded to Firefox 4.0. How Do I Fix This?

    I use Mac OS X 10.6.6 and my Homepage is MSN.CA now that I have upgraded to Firefox 4.0 some of the content on this page will only show the Title but nothing underneath. Examples are my Stock Quotes and Movie Times only show Titles but nothing underneath.
    How do I fix This?

    Martin, downgrading iOS isn't supported by Apple and there's no guaranteed way to do it. If you do a web search, though, you'll find some workarounds that may do the job for you.
    Good luck.

  • Iphoto will not play H.264 video: error message "The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -101.)" Any suggestions to fix?

    Hi, I am on iphoto 11 version 9.2, Mac OS 10.7.5 using a macbook Pro 2.8Ghz Intel.  All of a sudden I cannot play video (H.264) on iphoto.  I get the message "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -101.)".  I rebuilt the iphoto database and videos played once, since then, they will not play and I continue to get the error message, even if I rebuild the database. 
    Any thoughts or helpful suggestions from anyone gratefully received.

    Hi Terence,
    Thank you for your help.
    My saved iphoto library is in iphoto 09 and I have now iphoto 11 in my iMac as I upgraded from OS X Lion Mountain to OS X Mavericks.
    Thanks

  • I home shared from my PC to my new Mac and now my iTunes can't locate the original files?

    It was working fine for about 12 hours but now my iTunes can't locate any of the files. None of my songs will play, even those I downloaded directly from a CD. Help?

    It sounds like this is much more than an iTunes problem.  I suggest you post in the operating system forum version for your computer (we have no idea which OS you are running nor what model computer).

  • Now all of a sudden, most of my music will not play "because the original file could not be found" for no apparent reason, and I can't get it back. Thanks a ******* LOT, iTunes!! Now I can't even listen to over $1,000 of my songs because of

    FU

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • I can not use my Netflix anymore on safari. there is something wrong with the silverlight app. how do I fix this?

    Netflix used to work on my McBook Pro. Now it won't. The Netflix site keeps wanting me to download Microsoft Silverlight. I had it on my computer. I spoke with Netflix support and uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Siverlight too no avail. Netflix support said it is Safari with the problem. I do not think my Adobe Flash Player is working either. I recently had an adware infection and resolved it with Adware Medic. How do I fix the Netflix and Adobe issue?
    Thank you

    Apple does not replace your battery.  Instead it replaces your old iPod with a refurbished one (with a new battery).  When they see your iPod, the can tell that it had been in the water and will probably offer you an out-of-warranty repair ($99-$199).  If you want to take a chance on just replacing the battery, Google for a third party repair shop, but in that case, the risk is all yours. 

  • My bookmarks seem to have disappeared between when I shut down Firefox last night and today - and when I go to restore to a previous date, I get "unable to process the backup file" How do I fix this?

    Opened Firefox - all bookmarks gone, nothing in history. Nothing backed up. As I attempt to restore, none of my restore points can be accessed, I get error message that says: "unable to process backup file" What has happened? Everything worked fine yesterday - and I have performed no updates.

    It's actually quite simple to restore your lost information. Hover your Firefox Menu Tab and click the Bookmarks Menu. The little box will pop up. Click on Import and Backup ... the second option down is "restore" . Hit that and it should give you a list of dates that Firefox auto-saves your bookmarks. Just pick a date and apply. If this doesn't help. You may have to revert to an earlier version or check your addons.

  • When i try to install itunes i get the message 'there is a problem with the installer package' - how do i fix this?

    also, I called apple support and they told me that it may be due to having uninsatlled itunes in the wrong order - but I never uninsatlled itunes.  it just stopped working one day.  I do recall that I had gotten a message that stated that quicktime had been uninstalled (maybe my 10 yr old had something to do with that).  So, i attempted to reinstall itunes and I can't.... there's 3 ipods in the house, my classic, my wife's nano and my 10 yr old's itouch... we've been without itunes for a month now and I really would rather not fork out the $30 that apple wants for phone support.  the touch and the classic were purchased last xmas, and the nano was purchased on mother's day - i shouldn't have to pay.  Can any of you techies plz help???

    Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

  • Web pages will not download in html format, just a long listing of items on the page. How do I correct this?

    Firefox was working as normal. I downloaded the Password app from Firefox and all my web pages stopped downloading properly. I deleted the app, no change. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Nothing. This happened once before & I had to take it to a computer repair store to get it fixed. That time, it was caused by a program that I had downloaded. I tried restoring my system but that did not work either.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My iTunes will not stay shut down. It automatically restarts even without an iPod plugged in. How do I fix this??

    My iTunes, which is the latest version, will not stay shut down. No matter how many times I exit the software, it automatically starts back up. And NO, there are NO iPods plugged in. It's very annoying and is slowing down our desktop immensly. I've tried to find a setting to change it but I'm not a computer/iTunes expert. Can anyone help??

    try holding the home button and off button at the same time for about 10 seconds, it should restart

  • HT201272 All my previously purchased iTunes Music will not play on my iPhone 5. I am really frustrated! If anyone knows how to help, please do so :)

    I cannot play any of my previously purchased iTunes songs/albums on my iPhone 5. The songs are listed as downloaded, but when I go to play them, the 'play' screen appears for about 2 seconds, and then disappears. I have followed all the steps I can find online. My phone is syncing with iCloud these days. Please help if you can! 

    Welcome to the forums.
    This hasn't yet been reported but the fact that it's only songs you purchased that plays is suspicious. What is the format of the other music? (Go into iTunes and select one and press Ctrl-I and report on what it says there).

  • Diappearing photos replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle.  Prior to loading Lion I could put the image number in finder and locate the original file for that photo.  How do I restore photos now?

    I had problems with photos disappearing and being replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle.  I can see the photo in the thumbnail summary but when you click on it, the screen goes black and the exclamation point within a triangle appears along with the info on the original image number (i.e., img_1120.jpg). Prior to loading Lion, I could go to Finder, enter the image number and locate the original file for that photo.  I could then restore it for editing, copying into Print Shop directly, etc.   That no longer works after installing Lion.   How do I restore photos now?  I have 100s of photos that I have been going back to the original files and restoring and I am frantic that I will no longer be able to get to the original files.  Please help!  Thanks

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can I locate the original .CR2 /  Raw file from Photos in finder?

    How can I locate the original .CR2 /  RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program.  I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
    Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.
