"Some of the items in the iTunes Library...." "Could not be found"

I have 53 tracks out of about 1500 that can't sync. I can play them just fine in iTunes, but they won't transfer to my iPod Touch (gen4). For example, I have a play-list of a particular album and half of the songs transfer and the other half don't. iTunes will play all the files however. The files are located on a network drive (NAS). I can play these files also via XBMC or WD TV Live.
Thoughts on how to resolve?

Thanks Katrina for all your help.
I talked to an Apple tech support person. Actually, my call had to be elevated to the next support level. Joy. You are correct, there are multiple listings of the files in the error report even though there is only one copy.
The support person had me do a few things. Here is what eventually seems to fix things:
1) For the mp3's that DID copy but were listed as not found... Some files were duplicated so deleting the duplicate with the "!" was an easy fix. I found one file that I could search by song name in iTunes but could not find it by song name search on the iPod. Looking at the iPod playlist I found the file listed by the filename (not song name) and the file played fine. Then in iTunes I double clicked on the song name ("!" showing) and selected locate. I then pointed to the location on the NAS. Resync and now the name of the song on the iPod changed from filename to song name. The file was no longer listed in the error report.
2) For the m4a files that didn't sync... the problem songs appeared three times in a search in iTunes. Two of the listings showed the "!" next to the name. I deleted these two for each song that didn't sync and all transferred fine afterward.
Perhaps there is an issue with ID3 tags since I use filenames more than tags in organization. Still, I would think that iTunes would not get so confused or be a little more friendly with its errors, especially considering how long its been around.
Thanks again for your help. Looks like I have a manual way to correct this issue.

"iTunes Library could not be found" question

This is for iTunes 10 running Snow Leopard on an LED iMac.
I created a new Library and my old one won't open. Both are in an external drive.
When I option, open it I get the "an iTunes Library could not be found" message. All of the music is still in there, I can see it. I'm not sure what's going on but I'm wondering if I could import the songs (about 2000mp3's), artwork, etc., to a new Library. I don't care about playlists and such.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

My immediate thought is if it has to do with the naming of the files. I haven't tested this but I wonder if you kept the name of the actual library file the default name instead of adding "Niki" if it would then work just selecting the folder. In other words, if iTunes has instructions if you select a folder to then check for a specific file inside that folder, and by your renmaing the file it no longer sees exactly "iTunes Library.itl" and doesn't know to search about inside that folder for a library file with any other name.
Somewhere in my references (not sure where) I recall something about library file naming conventions. I'm not sure if they are in:

Some of the items in your iTunes library were not copied to your ipod

It's a gen.5 ipod with video and works fine with almost everything. Sometimes I get the above message.
I've recently tried a brand new set of CDs to rip to the ipod, and I get this again.
I've de/re-authorised the mac, but no joy.
Ideas?

Thanks for the answer, but this is not a nano, it's a 5th gen 60GB wth video.

I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Any ideas?

Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?" This has happened for four CD's in a row now, Eagles - Hotel California.

Hi All,
When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?" This has happened for four CD's in a row now. Today, after importing some other CD's in the regular way, all of a sudden, iTunes won't recognize the Eagles - "Hotel California" CD, the Eagles "**** Freezes Over" CD, "The Best of Roy Orbison" or "Milestones" by Miles Davis.
What happened? Anybody know?

We've gotten the same error at the same time. I guess we need to let this play out. In the meantime, I'm gonna update iTunes.

The iTunes Library could not be saved. An unknown error occurred -50

I moved my itunes to an external drive that I am accessing wirelessly (it is pugged into by time capsule). When I open itunes I can see and access all of my songs and videos fine but I keep getting the error message "The itunes library could not be saved. An unknown error occurred -50". This must have something to do with moving itunes to the external drive but I can't figure out how to stop this message. I am running itunes 10.4.1 on Mac OS 10.7.1.
Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Lisa

The file "iTunes Library" could not be opened because it was created ...

Hi, I get this error message when starting iTunes: The file "iTunes Library" could not be opened because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
I get this message after running a software update when iTunes announces a newer version is available.
I have ver 7.4.2 (4)
Am I doing something wrong? or is there a fix?
Thanks.

The update should've done this for you. But if, for whatever reason, you have an icon in your dock that's launching an old version of iTunes you should do a little investigating. Try this...
- open your Applications folder and see if you have one version of iTunes in there (one icon).
- highlight the icon and "GET INFO" to see what version it is.
- if it's the updated version, replace the icon in your dock with the icon for the newest version
Tossing out or swapping icons in the dock doesn't do any harm. But having an old icon will most definitely launch the old version it was associated with. Like I mentioned though, the update should have done this automatically. I would think back about how you updated just to make sure something else didn't go awry. Losing an iTunes library can be a drag.

HT1473 iTunes message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's iTunes store, What's up with that?

I just purchased The Very Best Of Eagles CD, Popped it into my drive so excited to own the copy but when I tired to copy it to my Library I get this message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's in the iTunes store, What's up with that? Is there any way to get track information and artwork without Having to manually inter all the info?

iTunes gets track information from Gracenote's database, so iTunes must be able to reach gracenote.com and the CD must have been entered there by some purchaser already (all CD information in Gracenote is provided by we users). If these are common, commercially-distributed CDs, it may be that there is a firewall or privacy filter blocking access to gracenote.com. If these are unusual, independently-released or rare CDs, they just may not be in Gracenote yet. In the case of a custom CD where it's a compilation, Gracenote probably won't be able to identify them (it goes by complete albums, comparing the number and length of the tracks to try and figure out what album it is).
Hope this helps.

Let's see if a more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure gets us past that, nancy. See the following troubleshooting document:

ITunes library could not be saved. Not enough memory

I just began to get the dreaded "iTunes Library could not be saved. Not enough memory" error after downloading a concert DVD. I have 8 GB RAM and 1.54 TB of hard drive space available. I am running Win 8.1 and iTunes 11.4.0.18 which iTunes says is the latest version. Closing and restarting iTunes makes no difference. Shutting down all other applications makes no difference. Any ideas???

The song names for this CD could not be found online

I've been trying to copy some of my cds to itunes, but it does not recognize any of the track names. The error message: "The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?"
I've tried with a dozen CDs and is always the same.

ITunes library could not be saved

I recently installed iTunes on a new PC and had all my old files transferred over to the new hard drive. All my music loaded onto iTunes but after a few days I noticed an error message on the screen saying 'The iTunes library could not be saved, there is not enough memory available'. I still have over 200 GB left on the PC's hard drive so I'm not sure what's causing this message to appear. Any suggestions on how to stop it?

please help.I need a help quick

The type or namespace name 'SPSite' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)_

I am creating a Winforms application. I need to upload and download a file from Sharepoint.
I have added reference to Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.
Below is the code to upload file:
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
String fileToUpload = @"C:\Test.txt";
String sharePointSite = "https://myshapoint";
String documentLibraryName = "Test";
using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(sharePointSite))
using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(fileToUpload))
throw new FileNotFoundException("File not found.", fileToUpload);
SPFolder myLibrary = oWeb.Folders[documentLibraryName];
// Prepare to upload
Boolean replaceExistingFiles = true;
String fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileToUpload);
FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(fileToUpload);
// Upload document
SPFile spfile = myLibrary.Files.Add(fileName, fileStream, replaceExistingFiles);
// Commit
myLibrary.Update();
But i get the error "The type or namespace name 'SPSite' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
I am not sure what else I am supposed to do here.

Hi,
If you want to develop a WinForm application to be only used in SharePoint Server, we can use Server-Side Object Model(use Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll) to achieve it.
If you want to use the WinForm application to be used both in Server side and Client Side, I suggest you use .Net Client Object Model(use Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.dll) to achieve it.
Here are two links for your reference:

The type or namespace name 'SQLite' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Trying to get sql server compact up and running. I connected to a sqlite database and atuo generated the model.cs code.

Ok so I got the past that problem. I had to add the package System.Data.SQLite Core in Manage NuGet.
Then I changed the auto-generated code "using SQLite" to "using System.Data.SQLite".
But now I have a new problem, it says "System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection' does not contain a definition for 'CreateTable' "
Here is the code
//This code was generated by a tool.
//Changes to this file will be lost if the code is regenerated.
//using SQLite;
using System;
using System.Data.SQLite;
using System.Data.SQLite.EF6;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
public class SQLiteDb
string _path;
public SQLiteDb(string path)
_path = path;
public void Create()
using (SQLiteConnection db = new SQLiteConnection(_path))
db.CreateTable<servers>();
public partial class servers
public Int64 server_name { get; set; }
public Double cpu_usage { get; set; }
Any ideas why CreateTable is not available?
