1 song file missing from my library. Sync & recovery questions.

I found 1 song missing from my iTunes library. File recovery software doesn't find it. It's still on the iPod.
If I do a sync, will I loose it from the iPod too? It's still present in my iTunes song list, but shows up as not found.
After I've done a sync IIRC I can put the iPod into hard-drive mode. Will that let me copy the song to my PC?
Since it's only for a $.99 song, I'd gladly use a free 3rd party application, but only want to buy software for this sort of thing if I have a bigger need.

I've never had the need to do it myself but, from what I've heard, the aggravation is worth more than 99 cents. However,

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

    I have a simlar issue like this when loading my movies to my iTouch. iTunes says that all of your wanted content is sync and your iPod says that all content wasn't synced, is that what you are saying?

  • File Missing from iPhoto when syncing to iOS devices

    When trying to sync any iOS device with my MacBook, I get an error stating that a file is missing.  It only happens when I'm trying to sync photos, so I believe that a file is missing on my MacBook from iPhoto.  Has anyone encountered this issue before?

    Open the iPhoto Library with the finder:
    Click to view full size
    and move the folder titled iPod Photo Cache Or iPhone Photo Cache to the Trash. DO NOTHING ELSE! Close the package, launch iPhoto and try syncing again.

  • Identifying A File Missing From A Playlist In The Master Library

    I organize/store all my song files from the master library (about 2,100 files at this point) into playlists. Through some cross-referencing I have realized there is one song file in my master library that's not in a playlist (UUUGH!!!) This situation was easily resolved in iTunes 6 but the method I used is not available in iTunes 7 (big suprise!!!). I would appreciate any tips folks have in easily resolving this issue in iTunes 7. Thanks!!!

    A smart playlist that gathers all files NOT in any one of your playlists will work, as described here. It's a pain to set up if you have many, many playlists.

  • Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

    Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

    If the file was also on a mac, then there was a local copy of the file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents.  If you use Time Machine or any other backup program on your computer, then try restoring the file(s).  Similarly the same thing would be done on a PC, but I'm not sure where the icloud local copies are kept.

    If you have previously synced photos to the iPad then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try sync and see if it works - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

    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. 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.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl 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.
    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!

    If you're confident that the DP contains the new file, try deleting the deployment and re-doing it (not the deployment type - just the deployment to your test collection).

  • UCM 11g File missing from search result although file is accessable

    When I do search without any criteria in UCM 11g, some files missing from search result although I know the files were checked into UCM already since I'm able to see these files using url similar to:
    http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=GET_FILE&dID=12345
    or use following url to get document information:
    http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=DOC_INFO&dID=12345
    the file is not in the search resule even search by ID.
    also, the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
    Is this a known problem? the same search was working in UCM 10 perfectly.
    Thanks

    The query seems able to retrieve the missing document. for example, I search by content ID, in the audit log (eanbled as you mentioned) give th efollowing information:
    fusionappsattachments/6     09.13 06:22:03.878     IdcServer-3474     --- @ResultSet SearchResults ---
    fusionappsattachments/6     09.13 06:22:03.878     IdcServer-3474     numFields=66,*numRows=1*,currentRow=0
    also, the infomation following above give the deteail field information which match with the missing document.
    I looks like UCM just did not bring it to UI as part of search result.
    This seems match with my another finding as I mentioned earlier: the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
    it seems query did find the documents but UI did not show it.
    Not sure if this is a known bug.

    I just checked my original file and it is 30fps...
    Also other clips from the same camera were correctly finalized, just this one clip "disappeared".
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks.
