When accessing my itunes library of music I get the notation on all songs ...The song could not be located because the origional file could not be found...how can this be corrected or did Apple wipe out all the files

wien I access Itunes I get the notification....the song could not be located because the origional filoe could not be found...I have over 2000
songs in my library ....Does this mean they are all gone....How can one retrieve them???

This missing song 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 cancel when asked to try 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.
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 .
Once you've sorted out the broken links I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

  • HT4914 I turned on iTunes Match, and subscribed; but it did not load all of my library. How can this be corrected so that I can recover all of my library?

    I turned on iTunes Match, and subscribed; but it did not load all of my library. How can this be corrected?

    iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
    After looking through the above link, and still doesn't help then try this below:
    > iTunes Content: Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    > Non-iTunes Content: Transfer them from a different iDevice or from USB flash drive and/or external hard drive.
    I don't use iTunes Match so I don't really know.

  • When I open my computer I receive the following message: The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint couldnot be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll How can this be corrected?  I never got this message before and I have a iPhone and iPad

    When opening Windows 7 I'm receiving the following message The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.......I have never rec'd this before............I have a iPhone and iPad...............How can this be corrected without interferring with the information on my computer?    Thanks

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • I keep getting script errors when accessing Amazon Seller merchant pages. I get the following A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script

    I keep getting script errors when accessing Amazon Seller merchant pages. I get the following A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: chrome://spautofill/content/spOverlay.js:150, I also get js210 as well. I have cleared all cookies and history and unistalled Firefaox and reinstalled. Been thru my AVS and set the site as trusted in every possible place. Still get the problem. Do not get it with IE on same PC.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk

    Same problem but with a different vendor site:
    https://www.webvitamins.com/myfavorites.aspx
    Not only does the page hang, but the other tabs also hang.
    I contacted the vendor and their reply was "we were told that this looks like a script that is used by "Sticky Password", third-party software that must have been installed on your browser. However, our website did not install it and does not have anything to do with it." As far as I can tell, "Sticky Password" is not installed on my Firefox.
    Same problem as above occurs, but with IE 8.0.6001.18702. Therefore, it is not unique to Firefox.
    CAUSE DETERMINED: Have determined that this problem only occurs when Kaspersky Password Manager is installed. In Firefox, if the "Password Manager Autofill Engine" add-on is disabled, the problem goes away.

    That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.
    If you have any add-ons that alter the page, such as ad blockers, try creating an exception for these sites and see whether that helps:

    You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

    After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message.  This didn't used to happen.  How can this be corrected?

    When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)

  • TS3297 I have purchased and downloaded an album.  Some of the songs do not play.  How can I troubleshoot

    I purchased an album.  Some of the songs do not play.  How do I troubleshoot?

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Our original iTunes account is on a computer with Windows Xp.  My iPad will not sync to that computer.  Is ther any way I can access that iTunes library of music on my iPad2?

    My original iTunes account is on a computer operating a Windows Xp system. My iPad2 cannot access that music library. Is there any way the iTunes app on my iPad can access my iTunes music library without using that computer?  I have tried downloading the iTunes 10.6 to the computer, but it won't complete the download.

    You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
    Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
    You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

  • HT4796 i have successfully migrated the music but it just shows up in my files and has not updated my iTunes library which is still getting the music from iCloud and is not using the migrated files. Any ideas?

    I have successfully used windows migration software to move my music library from a PC to my MacBook Air.
    However the music files are just stored in my file system and have not updated my itunes files. Itunes is still getting the music down from icloud instead of using the music files.
    Any ideas?

    If you're using Windows Movie Maker and HP Photo to build slide shows, this is not an iPod touch issue (nor an iTunes issue), so I'd suggest you take up the problem on a web site that deals with Movie Maker or HP Photo issues. It's really not something we can help with in this forum.
    If you're building this slide show on your iPod, please post back and tell us what app(s) you're trying to use, and whether the iPod app on your iPod touch shows and plays your songs correctly. Knowing the specific model of iPod you have and the version of iOS it's running will probably also help.
    Regards.
