Can I recconect missing tracks this way?

When I setup i Tunes on my new PC & went to connect it to the library I found that many hundreds of songs are listed as can't be found. I know that the songs are there & I can reconnect them one at a time successfully but this is very slow when there are so many to do. I'm wondering it there is another way.
For instance can i Tunes give me a list of every unconnected track so that I can delete these false references all at once?
If I can do that first step what would happen if I were then to tell i Tunes to import every track again. I know that it would find the missing tracks but would then then be duplicated? Would these tracks still have any data that had been corrected?
Would using that TuneUp program for i Tunes help in doing this?

I finally have the programing running. I looked at the different tabs & saw that none were unconnected. Since I knew that many tracks are unconnected & not being seen by i Tunes I altered the route to my i Tunes library within iTWF so that both programs were looking at he same files.
This time the results were quite surprising since it listed 5210 tracks and this is about 20 more than i Tunes reports at the bottom of the page when I open the program. This seems wrong & impossible. Where did it go wrong?
Even if this had reported a reasonable number of unconnected tracks I'm still wondering how to fix the problem. I had suggested that perhaps I could delete all unlinked tracks & then add all of the tracks listed in the i Tunes folder. What would the results be of doing this? What if I deleted ever track currently in library & then added all tracks in again? (All tracks are from my CD's & don't have copy protection) Would this result in duplicates & would the program still pick up the revised information that I had entered re track name, album name etc. as well as album covers?

  • How can i remove missing tracks window 7

    After upgrading to iTunes 11 I found it deleted my folder destination of MP3's. I have gone and re added all the folders so ot shows I have the music but now I have a bunch of missing files listed witht he exclamation point. What a good way to delete the missing tracks. Im talking thousands!!
    Chris

    Try iTunes Folder Watch with its option to scan for dead tracks on startup. Alternatively...
    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your "missing" tracks will be in this playlist. If it suits your purposes you can select them all with Ctrl-A then delete them with Ctrl-Shift-Delete.

  • Firefox comes up in "safe" mode. How do I turn it off. I can't use the program this way.

    About two weeks ago some virus (?) got in my computer. I lost everything and had to reload everything.
    When I reloaded Firefox it came up 'locked'. Nothing would react to my mouse.
    I discovered it came up in "safe" mode. I removed the program and reloaded it again. It came up in safe mode again. When I hit start and look at programs Firefox is there and under it is another Firefox program with safe mode in parenthesis. I can't use it this way. How do I turn safe mode off?

    See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]], the last option seems to be the most likely in your case.

  • Where can I get help if this forum doesnt help?

    I have recently posted a topic on the forum here but no one was able to resolve my issue. Where can I now find help? The apple website leads me in circles with no real troubleshooting email address to use. Any where I can go?
    In case you were wondering this was my original post:
    The tracks in some of my albums appear in the wrong order. I have already figured out that within an album in itunes differing album artists for each track mess up the track order for that album. For this reason I have deleted all the "album artist" fields for all tracks on itunes (and my ipod) leaving the field blank. I have left in the "name" "artist" and "album" fields as well as the track numbers.
    Depending on what sort of mood my ipod is in it randomly seems to add information back in after x amount of weeks which cause some albums to play in the wrong track order again.
    Why is itunes randomely changing the meta information and adding in information ive previously deleted?
    Also, why dont the tracks just sort by track number rather than using album artist first. It seems absurd to me itunes would sort tracks this way. Can it be changed so my ipod sorts tracks simply by the track numbers and ignoring the other fields?
    Also certain album art gets mixed up or wont appear on my album. I have already solved the problem by wiping all the album art then rechecking the box to show album art but this isnt the first time ive had to do this and I would like to know what is causing the problem.
    Thx for any help

    The iTunes forums are still probably the best place to get the answer to a problem. You should provide the info of the version of iTunes, QT, and System that you are using.
    I would suggest that you post in the iTunes Windows and not the iTunes Mac for a start.
    I use the 'keep' and 'copy' features. I don't have any problems with sorting. If I do have a jumble then I will select the offending alubum deleting it but KEEP the files the 'add' them back. You can sort by track number if you have that option selected as a column in your iTunes main window.
    Are you using PlayLists?

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • I had a girlfriend buy me an ipod for my mom's music at her Celebration of Life and someone took it.  Is there a way to track it down?  She did register it.  I can't believe someone did this to me on one of the worst days of my life.

    Unfortunately, unless you set up an iCloud account on the iPod and turned on Find My iPod before it was stolen, no.  Even if you did do that, there are many ways it could fail (for example, the thief could wipe it clean or not try to connect to a network or the network's location might not be known).  But, you could try it by logging in to iCloud and using the Find My iPhone applet.

    You cannot. Your best course of action is to immediately change all your internet passwords, notify the police and your insurance company. Send the remote wipe command to the MBA through iCloud.com and buy a new one from the insurance reimbursement.

  • Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?

    Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?  I have been using PS touch for iPad for a few years and ALWAYS end up with a message that I have reached the maximum allowable number of layers.  not to mention of course a simple tool for drawing straight lines which is a must.  I may be missing something.  I would have imagined that a respectable company like Adobe would have added over the years a small upgrade to solve these issues.
    thanks. 

    Hi Patrick,
    I'm working on a 30" monitor, so it's effectively 2560x1600.  It only seems to be showing 2 tracks at a time, unless there is a preference or setting I'm missing that I can't seem to find in the documentation.  Here is a screenshot:
    I don't see any areas for expanding the timeline.  I can scroll vertically in the timeline, but I can't seem to actually get a larger static vertical area for showing more tracks at once.  The only vertical resizing widget is to expand the bottom or top panels, not the timeline.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Can I batch download missing tracks from iTunes Match?

    For some reason thousands of my tracks have gone missing in iTunes. No idea what can have happened, unless it was a consequence of messing with TuneSpan...! The exclamation mark icon appears next to the missing tracks. I can play them and download them if I go through a series of clicks so I could download tham all one at a time (indeed I started to do so) but to complete this job is going to take hours and risk giving me repetitive strain injury. Is there a way to get iTunes to download all the missing ytracks from Match?

    Thanks. This will save me one click per item, but I still have to click each one individually a couple of times (ie to make it 'play' in order to get rid of the and then press Escape to dismiss the dialog box that comes up about searching for other missing files. (If I select multiple items and control-click for the contextual amenu, Download does not appear – only when I have gone through all of the above to turn into the iCloud download icon.)

  • HT203433 i purchased a cd on my phone but the whole cd didnt download to my computer how can i get the missing tracks to download

    i purchased a cd but when downloaded to my computer some of the tracks was missing how can i get the missing tracks to download???

    On computer go into iTunes store, in the Quicklinks section click on purchased, go to music not on this computer and you should find all music still in the cloud. 
    On phone open music, choose store at top of screen, then choose the More option at bottom of next screen, look in downloads where anything waiting to download should be.  If nothing there go to Purchased, click on Music, Not on this Phone and you should see any iTunes music you have bought that is not downloaded to the phone.

  • HT1296 I downloaded an album from i Tunes to my i Phone 4 but somehow all but two of the tracks have deleted themselves from there. When I try to synch again (from a Windows pc) I can't upload the missing tracks again. they are playable from the PC but no

    You may have to sync all your music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then sync it back on to fix this.
