Missing link between Itunes and Music Loaded from CDs

Somehow itunes no longer recognizes the link between itunes and music loaded from my Cds (error message in itunes indicates original file could not be found). I can establish this link manually one by one and the songs play but how can I establish this link other than manually one by one in itunes ?

    Hi again!
     I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
     I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
     In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
     'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

Link between iTunes and Library lost. Hard drive failure

Hi!
   I need help with the following problem. (i7 27" iMac/256GB SSD + 1TB of internal disk hard drive. (SATA/7200rpm/3.5"))
          The 1TB internal hard drive on my iMac failed the S.M.A.R.T. Utilities test so Apple called in the computer and I had to have the hard drive replaced. The technicians reloaded the system from a 1TB external Western Digital hard drive; I had backed up the everything on it using Time Machine.
          Unfortunately, the iTunes application cannot now locate my iTunes library. I create a lot of slideshows on Aperture and use music from iTunes on the audio tracks. The titles on the audio tracks are now inaudible and are preceded by a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. Can anyone help me on how I should re-establish the original link between iTunes and its library. The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (declangreaney) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.
          In trying to solve the problem, I went through the folders and double clicked on one song. This opened iTunes so I highlighted and dragged all the other 'artist-named' folders on the iTunes interface and in doing so, I succeeded in accessing all the files. This is not wholly satisfactory, however, as I do not have my own playlists and more seriously, there is still no link between the Aperture audio tracks.
Sincerely,
     DG.

Moving iTunes and music library from one computer to another

I need to move my iTunes and music library with purchased music, playlists, ratings, and legally downloaded music to another computer. How do I do that?

Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

Will icloud be useful when I have music loaded from CDs

I have an imac and 2 ipads and an ipod. With all these devices I still find that I cant use icloud to sync my music. Reason - my music is from CDs purchased or made by converting a lot of recordings. Rare ones. How can I make my itunes library from my mac be available to all the other devices?

Music is not stored in iCloud.
You can use iTunes Match ($20 per year) to share your library.

Difference between Reconstruction and regular load from PSA

Gurus,
      What is the Difference between Reconstruction and load from PSA into datatarget.I understand that during Reconstruction we are not loaing data from R3.
      I have a cube and there are 3 requests in that.I deleted all the requests went to PSA and selected one of the requests and selected reconstruct from this.I went to cube and I can see this selected request in PSA in the reconstruction requests of cube.I submitted the reconstruction/Insert button there.
      Is this the procedure to do reconstruction.If yes then how is it different from regular load from PSA.
Thanks

If look function wise both are doing samething. But there is difference in data flow, PSA is used as staging area. If we choose at first place to load only to PSA and analyze our load do manual editing if needed and then load to data target in this case ofcourse reconstruct option is not available or we could parrallely or sequencialy load to data target beside laoding into PSA. So now having already have loaded into data target if some how we needed to delete and reload we can reconstruct the request or run normal load from PSA.

HT1848 iTunes and music transfer from laptop to iPad 2

I'm trying to transfer music on my laptop iTunes to my iPad. How can I do this?

You've selected the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and selected the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes so that you see something like :
If you tick the 'selected playlists ...' tickbox you should be able to be more selective over what to copy.
Have you then selected what you want to sync to the iPad, and clicked the Sync button at the bottom right of that screen ? That should then sync your selection over the iPad's Music app (not the iTunes app on the iPad).

FIle path between iTunes and music files broken

Somehow I've managed to lose the file path connecting my songs on an external hard drive with iTunes. I've checked the advanced aoptions to make sure that iTunes is pointing to F: (instead of C:) but no dice.
Obviously I can go through and reconnect them all individually but for 16,000 songs that's not an option. I also don't want to reload the song files (by opening them directly from the drive) and lose all my play count information.
I've had this happen before when upgrading PCs or when the EHD was renamed and been able to fix it but this time nothing seems to work.

Yes it has. I recently changed from laptop to PC and managed to load iTunes on PC, copy across playcount and album artwork information and have the EHD connected and showing the correct pathways. Everything was working fine for about 3 days. When launching iTunes a couple of days ago, it asked me to go through the setup screens again (which I did) and since then the file paths have been missing. I've been into the xml file of the iTunes library and it shows everything pointing to the default c: drive location. This may be because I read that consolidating the library (under the advanced tab) would help but it didn't.

The missing link between DB and RSS

Hi there, I have been making Database driven websites for a
while with simple Access databases. Now with DW CS3 i-m entering
the world of ajax and Spry and I am noticing that it all works with
XML files that contain the information to be displayed on the site
and I-m having a hard time or just don-t get how to get my DB
information dynamicaly generate the XML file neccessary to display
a SPRY table with content from the database.
I remember Interakt having a RSS creator that would
automaticaly generate the necesary XML file from a query so it
could be then used for anything else. But it is not supported any
more with CS3
What I-m trying to say is. How for example any Blog site has
an RSS buton that when clicked opens an XML file with the feed
without having the owner manually have to generate such xml file. I
have lots of info on databases that would love to show with those
wonderfull SPRY lists and detail Divs but just can-t find out how
to get the content from the DB in to my XML file.
I feel stupid asking this after working so long with DB and
ASP, but we can not all know everithing.
Happy coding and thanks for your time.

Generating XML from database records isn't that much
different tham
generating HTML.
I would suggest to read these docs:

PS roles for making object links between cProjects and PS

Hello to everybody!
Does anybody could give me a favour and tell which role I should grant to the user in order to allow him make object links between cprojects and PS elements from cProjects. I have already granted authorization to CJ01, CJ02, CJ03 and CJ20N transactions, but JA 027 == No authorization for action Display === error message still occurs. SU53 shows that everything is OK.
Thank you.

I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

Hi,
Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
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.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?
