When i download mixtapes itunes  cannot locate the songs

i download free mixtapes off datpiff and when they download they open a folder in my documents, when i open the song they open on itunes. Lately they will download but when i close the folder i opened them from itunes cannot locate the songs and i cant put them on my iphone.

Kbick,  Glad it helped.
By the way, if you don't want to clutter your desktop, you can put them into your iTunes Media folder.  The important thing is to make sure you are using the extracted files, not the ones in the Zip folder.
Enjoy the music!

  • Error from iTunes Setup Asst -- iTunes cannot locate the CD Config folder

    It says: iTunes cannot locate the CD Configuration folder, so you cannot import or burn CDs and DVD's. This folder must be in the same directory as iTunes.
    Because of space issues, I moved iTunes to run off of a portable hard drive (it's a silver iomega 100 GB drive, if it matters). I had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and import the old library into iTunes to get it to work, but now it's giving me the error.
    I just imported music from a disc, so that works actually, but when I try to burn a disc, it says "disc burner or software not found." I'm flummoxed.

  • Having problems using ion tape express with itunes cannot find the song on hard drive

    Having problems using ION tape express with itunes.  The song is on hard drive as temp1 not the name of the song.  And I have problems playing it in itunes
    because it says it cannot locate the song'

    Then correct the name of the song or point iTunes to the new file.
    Issues with restoring should be directed to the manufacturer of the backup software/device... this is not an Apple or iTunes issue.

  • ITunes cannot locate the source

    I moved my iTunes sources (the original MP3s) from disk C to disk E; then iTunes told me it cannot locate the source. I can either move the source back or locate them myself. However, I just don't want to move the source back but I got like hundreds of songs... Is there a better way than locating them 300 times? It's like one thousand clicks if I do that...

    I recommend you put them back and then let iTunes move the files across drives. Follow the instructions in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 .

  • After upgrading to the latest itunes, itunes cannot locate my songs

    After upgrading to the newest itunes, itunes cannot locate all my music, which is located on an external hard drive. The only solution I can think is to go through each song individually and "find" it on my external hard drive. With 78000 songs, this is obviously not feasible. Is there some simple solution? I don't want to have to just delete the entire itunes library and reload the music on my hard drive, because I have all the songs just the way I want them, with ratings, info, album art, and corrected song titles and album orders, and I will lose all that, right? Please help if you can.

    I figured this out - this might be of great help to some people who have the same problem. I do not know how, but somehow my external hard drive got renamed to a different drive letter, from E to F. That's why itunes wasn't recognizing my songs, because there was a new file path name. Here's a microsoft XP tutorial on how to change drive letters if this happens to you:

  • Just got message that iTunes cannot locate 2382 songs. I see them, but I don't seem to be able to "recover" them. How do I locate them in a block versus one at a time?

    I installed Nokia PC Suite software  including a music player. I opened iTunes so that I could transfer music to my mobile phone. My iTunes response was that it could not locate my music files. So, I uninstalled all of my Nokia software, and restarted iTunes. My music list comes up, but when I try to play a tune, I get the message that iTunes cannot locate my music files, and asks me if I want to locate them. When I answer, it lets me locate the music one song at a time. How do I get iTunes to "locate" the entire file in one block action?.

  • ITunes cannot Location many songs even though they have not moved

    I recently noticed that, locations of many songs in iTunes is showing up incorrectly, due to which its playcount, ratings etc. don't sync with my iPhone/iPad. For example
    When location of original song is in folder "/Users/SiMac/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music by Artists/Devan/", and
    The song is still there in the above folder
    However, iTunes now shows the location as "file://localhost/Users/SiMac/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music by Artists/Devan/"
    Every time I double the song, iTunes shows up a dialog asking whether I want to locate it, because it doesn't know what the folder shown above in (3) above means.
    Is there a way to fix this en mass, because I have thousands of songs, which show up misplaced like above. There is no way in **** for me to locate song by song.

  • My music is backed up on external drive when i disconnect the external drive itunes cannot locate the files on the PC harddrive and none of the music can be accessed how do i fix this?

    My harddrive was wiped clean.  I upgraded operating system to fr vista to win 7.  All music was saved on an external hard drive and i have copied this to itunes on new operating system but itunes can not access any of the music without the external drive being connected.  error msg says original files cannot be located.  What to do?

    It all depends a bit on how & what you backed up, and how you restored it. Select an affected track. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Click Cancel when asked to locate the file. Look at the location given on the summary tab. Now look through your computer for file in question. What are the two paths? iTunes could be using the wrong layout (pre or post iTunes 9) in error. Or your library could have been split on the previous system, and not restored to preciesly the same path. Posting back the two paths should make things clearer.

  • I cannot locate numerous songs in my library.  When I click to play the window state that it cannot locate the song.  When I look at my I-Tunes LIbrary under songs the far left column has "!" in it.  I do not know what this means.

    I have been able to re-load all of the songs to my I-Pod touch that were not lost on the computer.  All of the songs were lost when I did a download of the new operating system.  Has anyone had this proble, and does anyone know how I can locate the files on my PC.  The list of songs and the album art have remained in the I-tunes window but the songs cannot be played because they cannot be located.  Does anyone know about the "!" in the left column and can this help in recovering the songs.  There are over 1700 songs that I cannot locate so I would appreciate all the help i can get.
    Thanks All!

    Hi,
    All I do is click on the song, it asks me if I would like to locate it and I go to my music first.  It's normally in there and you just click on it and it reloads.  Or, search in your computer for it and it will locate it if it's there.  Click C drive and you can see all files then move the track to my music first.  Finally you could delete iTunes, reload it and press button: scan for media then it will give you back one of every song you have ever loaded digitally!
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes cannot locate the original file

    The majority of my itunes library has little exclamation marks next to the songs, and whenever I click to play the song, a pop-up states "The song "name of song" could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" and if I press yes, then I have to go into my music and then search for it. I was wondering why it says that after years of having itunes and most importantly if there was an easier/less time consuming way to locate the original files to play my songs.

    Hi, shopper2472.
    The exclamation marks (and the accompanying note) inidicate the files aren't located where iTunes expects them to be. This is most often happens when the files have either been deleted or moved to a different location.
    If they have been moved, the best solution is to get them back where they were in the first place. iTunes will be able to find them again - happy ending.
    Sometimes though, it seems iTunes loses track of files for no apparent reason. In this case, your only alternative - other than finding them one by one and letting iTunes know - would be to start a new iTunes library all over again.
    Regrettably, this method loses playlists and related information (Ratings, Play Counts, Dates Last Played, etc.) If that's not a deal-breaker for you, delete the current entries in your Library by highlighting them - iTunes File menu > Select All - and then right-clicking > Delete . You remove the entries from your Library but keep the files themselves in your iTunes Music folder, assuming that's where they are in the first place.
    You can then add them back into your Library by selecting the iTunes Music folder in Windows Explorer and dragging it into the Library entry in the iTunes Source List (left-hand column).

  • Itunes cannot locate the track?

    I tried to move an album to my iphone and it said the tracks could not be located?
    What's up with that?
    this only happens with the CD's I imported to itunes.  yeah, all 330 of them !
    Tracks I've purchased on itunes transfer fine.
    If I delete the album and import again....then I can transfer....but ...really .?

    iTunes can burn a CD and write out the disc with a feature called CD Text, which is probably what your car's CD player is reading. However if you put the same CD back into iTunes to read the data it only picks up the audio tracks themselves. Unless it can match the tracks to a CDDB entry it won't be able to fill in the details. I haven't heard of any software that can rip & rename such tracks, but then I can't say I've actively looked.

  • Iphone4 having problems syncing music after the latest update.  only half of my music has been synced. during the syncing process the system stalls and i get an error stating itunes cannot locate the file.

    My IPhone 4 is experiencing an issue since the latest update.  Itunes will not allow the library to sync my entire library. Itunes get stalled and the error message reads ITunes can't find the file for a certain song.  

    I had the same issue and was told it was because I was using Windows XP.  Not sure if the same issue or not, but check that first.
