After downloading music and dragging into iTunes I end up with multiple copies of the album on my hard drive. I do have the "copy files into iTunes library" checked. When I try to erase one of the copies I end up with red ! in iTunes library.

Please Help!  After downloading an album and dragging it into itunes I end up having multiple copies of the album on my hard drive.  I do have (under Itunes preferences, advanced) copy songs into itunes library "checked".  I'm sure this is the reason for the multiple copies.  When I try to delete one of the copies of the album and go back to itunes and try playing a song, I get a red exclamtion point next to the song with an error message saying itunes cannot locate file. My questions are, Does Itunes literally make a copy of the song? If so , How do you know which file to delete?

Sony's own entertainment software on the Vaio plays merry **** with iTunes, worse there's no telling when it will kick in.
First head over to the Sony Vaio site and get the update for the software, that will stop it from messing with the iTunes database/library files when you connect your iPod.

With that stopped you can add the music back without fear of this happening again.

    Hi Winston
    Further to the above I have now discovered that I have two iCloud accounts in my notes so there are two icloud folders !!
    If I delete one, then all the notes are deleted from the other one. If I move all the notes from one into the other then the empty one is populated with two of everything !!
    Dont want to uncheck Notes in iCloud as there is a drop down box that advises that all notes will be removed from my Mac if I take that action
    Not sure what to do now !!

  • When I try to play one of the games my ipod classic freezes and I can not do anything what do I do

    Can anyone help as to either why my iPod freezes when I try to play the games or how to sort it out when it freezes

    You could try to reset your iPod.  Here is how:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.   Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can get my library transferred to the Honda Accord 16gb hard drive?  I have purchased music of off I tunes and do not have the physical CD.  Anybody with any suggestions on how this can be done?

    I am trying to figure out how I can transfer my library to my new 2014 honda accord that has an internal 16gb hard drive.  The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD.  Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.
    Thanks Any Help is appreciated.

    If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

  • I have hundreds of photos on my computer but when I try to click on them it shows a grey box with an exclamation mark.  How do I get the program to let me edit and use the photos?

    I have hundreds of photos on my computer but when I click on the photo all that comes up is a gray screen with with an exclamation mark.
    These are the last photos ever taken of my husband and I need to know how to recover them properly.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I have 2 missed calls on my iPhone but when I try to pick them up, the screen goes back to the first page, any ideas?

    I have two missed calls on my iPhone, each time I try to pick them up, my phone returns to the home screen, it will not let me see my recent calls. I have restored my phone, switched it off, taken the sim card out etc but still have the same problem. Has anyone any ideas?

    First thing you need to check is if you have do not disturb on to find this out got to settings-do not disturb and tap on it and turn it off this should work

  • When I try to close one tab, the tabs dissapear

    When I have "Always show the tab bar" checked, tabs work normally.
    However, when I turn "Always show the tab bar" off, I get this problem:
    If I have a bunch of tabs open and I close one, it leaves the next one open, but the tab bar dissapears, making it look like all the others have closed. I know that it hasn't closed the other tabs, since Ctrl+Shift+T only has to reload the first tab, and it also shows the tab bar again. Alternately, turning "Always show the tab bar" on shows all the other tabs are still open.
    Is there a way to fix this, or do I just hope that the next update will fix it for me?

  • I can receive a fax but it fails when I try to send one.

    I configured an MFP for faxing and I am able to receive a fax from an external source but when I try to send one to the same fax number it fails with the message of
    "A communication error occurred during the fax transmission.  If you're sending, try again and/or call to make sure the recipeint's fax machine is ready to receive faxes.  If your're receiving, contact the initiator and ask them to send the document again."
    I have run the fax test that is built into the printer and it comes back saying everything passed.  I know the fax machine that I was sending to was working since I just received a fax from that number and when I just dialed the phone number I can tell that it is a fax line by the electronic noise.
    When I dial the fax number and send it, the display says connecting...... and after about a minute it prints out the form indicating that it failed.

    Hello @bg6886,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with correcting the fax sending issue that you're experiencing when trying to send faxes from your HP All-in-One machine. However, before I am able to guide you accurately to a solution I do need to know which HP All-in-One printer you have?
    Once I know exactly what HP printer you have I will be able to guide you to adjust settings on your machine to allow for a stable fax sending environment. I look forward to hearing from you!
