Can not sync files due to itunes not being able to find orginal file

I have purchased these songs and video from apple on previous computer and have not had trouble until recently I believe it occured when i went to ver. 9. I have a touch and nano and these files that are on touch will not go to nano. I am afraid i will lose these if something happens to touch. It says it wil not sync with the touch also on 100 songs.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

Unable to Uninstall Itunes due to not being able to find the folder

I can't uninstall my Itunes from my laptop to install the new one and it is saying that they can't find the folder,is there anyway i can fix this?

Start with the second box and the notes below it. If you cannot uninstall iTunes using the Programs and Features control panel, try the MS Installer Fixit, or simply tear down the installation folders as given.
The section Install missing components should show how to break down the main iTunes installer into the component .msi files.

Mathscript node errors due to not being able to find .m files

I recently installed LV 8.5.1 and tried to open a VI with a mathscript node (originally created with LV 8.2). It got a broken arrow due to an unrecognized symbol in the node which was the name of a matscript function in a .m file of the same name. And this worked fine with 8.2. I updated the mathscript: search paths 'Working Directory' both in the mathscript window and the main app Tools->Options list. I exited and re-started, but to no avail. And I made sure to add it as a 'recursive' search folder, even though my file is right at the top.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello Umars,
In LabVIEW 8.5 you won't be able to use user defined functions if you are you using a Base Package. Regardless of which package you are using you may find the LabVIEW help file informative.

Mail not being able to find the SMTP server

hi there,
I am trying to use a new mailbox account but Mail cannot find the SMTP server and refuses to send emails. It is a pop account and it can find the incoming server ok. I know that the server is ok because I can send emails from a webmail version of the account but in Mail..nada.
Does anyone know why Mail is not finding the server?
Many thanks
Shark

What version of OSX were you using before upgrading to Snow Leopard? Since introduction of Leopard and Mail 3.x, the Outbox has only been seen in the Sidebar when there is one or more messages not yet sent.
Sending with webmail is no test of the SMTP, since it is not used when sending via webmail. What Port are you presenting the SMTP on, and what does the provider recommend in that regard? Who is that provider?

I'm having the same problem with my 4S. I have to constantly reboot my iMac or turn off my phone a few times to get it to sync. Before when I had 5.1.1 everything seemed to work just fine. I'm sure its a bug......
Both my ipads running 5.1.1 have zero issues syncing via wifi or directly plugged in.

When sycning photos get error message: can't sync file not found

Trying to sync my wife's new 3gs to my macbook Pro. Never had any problems syncing my phone. With hers I can sync everything but photos. I get an error message saying can't sync file not found. I have no idea what file it is looking for or whether it is missing from the phone or my computer.

Thanks so much. The file path wasn't exactly the same as the link said, but it was close enough that I found it in a few minutes. Trashed the ipod cache as instructed, and now all my iphones and ipods have synced photos. Thanks again, would have never found that file on my own.

I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that are not synced with my iTunes account on my computer. How can I sync my phone and iTunes on my computer without losing what is on my iPhone? (original computer was stolen)

I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer. The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
How can I sync and retain both iTunes?

Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore via iTunes
Next try DFU mode

Greetings, I have an iPod Touch, that I recently tried to access the apps store. I can't enter my password, due to not being able to switch the keyboard to lower case letters. I tapped on the arrow up button, and it makes a click sound, but the letters do not change. Am I doing something wrong?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
