ITunes cannot find but I can ( ! ) - how do I fix this?

I recently upgraded to a larger capacity drive and copied my library to the new drive but also kept a backup on the old drive. Now on the new drive, I have a ton of those exclamation points and iTunes cannot find a lot of the songs. It is making me find them one song at a time. How can I keep my new drive as the location where iTunes is stored (using the Advanced section of preferences for iTunes music folder location) but get iTunes to fix these that it cannot locate? And if I can locate them one at a time just by going back to the backup, why can't iTunes figure that out on its own? I'm not even sure why this happened, since I did the Consolidate and Keep iTunes folder organized functions when transferring to the new drive. Please help!

Hi - the original files were copied to the new drive and unfortunately, were deleted from the old drive. But what I do have on the old drive, and iTunes seems to be able to use it when it wants me to locate the songs one by one, is a backup copy of my library I made before the move to the new drive.
Since moving, I set the new drive location as where the iTunes folder is stored, and the song information is all in the library on the new drive, but it confuses me why that info is there but the "sound" isn't. The files that are affected seem to be mostly the first files I loaded on when I got iTunes in December. A lot came from Windows media. I wish I could understand why if it has me "locate" it, it can then fix the problem (although that has to be done song-by-song) but yet it cannot seem to link to the entire folder and I have to do this one song at a time. Would it be possible to put that backup folder on a CD, and create CD backups of my functioning library on the new drive, and then reinstall iTunes on the new drive using the multiple CDs? Would it let me use CD backups created in two different backups, and extract what each backup had to thus make my library complete again (between the two backups, that would be my entire library.)

I recently thought I lost my iPhone and I erased it but now that I found it. I cannot get the this iPhone message is lost please call ********* I am out of the country my laptop is at home. I cannot access I tune. How do I fix this. I need to get it back on so I can face time with my family. The phone says 3G but it keeps saying on list mode. I signed on icloud and removed it from the account and nothing. Please help!

If you removed the device from your iCloud account rather than using the "Stop Lost Mode" option, then you will most certainly need to restore the iPhone, and that will require a computer running iTunes.

Hi there, thanks for your reply, I cannot give you the URL as this is Cloud Based Farming Software which requires a Login and Password. All I can tell you is that it is written in PHP. There are many graphs, all of them print from IE but no not print from Firefox.

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

HT204266 The APP update request came for 4 apps. I submitted update all, but the system is stuck and will not update. Further, I cannot use those apps. How do I fix this?

The APP update request came for 4 apps. I submitted update all, but the system is stuck and will not update. Further, I cannot use those apps. How do I fix this?

Two other things to try -
Power your iPad off for a minute and then back on again.
Double tap the Home button, locate the updating apps (one by one) in the bottom task bar, press on it until the red minus sign comes up and click it. Repeat for the remaining apps. Try the updates again but do them one by one rather than Update All.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Hi my itunes card is not validated correctly, how do we fix this?

If it hasn't been properly activated then are you able to go back to where you bought it from and get them to activate it properly ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card the receipt for it) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), cassi, the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

IPad Air says 3G storage free, iTunes says 8.8G free. How do I fix this?

My iPad Air in the settings says I have 3.5G free but when I am sync to iTunes it says 8.8 G free.
How do I fix this?

You cannot fix it. Nobody can. There is a limit to how many free iCloud accounts that can be created on one iOS device and the limit is three. Obviously, this device reached that limit which means that this open box iPad was most likely owned by someone else or customers that used theiPad in the store got cute and created iCloud accounts on it and then deleted them.
So that's why deggie is recommending that you return the iPad to Best Buy and get your money back. You bought a device that should have never been sold to you.

Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

ITunes cannot find but I can ( ! ) - how do I fix this?
