Can't play my music  Saying missing files 856

Have had lots of music in itunes on my computer Windows Vista,  have gone back to play some songs and said 856 missing files. The songs have !  beside them  HELP  PLEASE

Okay, did something change on the computer?
Were any directories or files moved outside of iTunes?
Was the OS or Computer upgraded?
A drive replaced?
Basically the error indicates that the files are not where iTunes expects them to be.

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • Why i can't play my music from my iPad on the same apple ID on my macbook pro? it say's iam gonna accept my computer

    Why i can't play my music from my iPad on the same apple ID on my macbook pro? it say's iam gonna accept my computer and where am i gonna do that

    Possibly nobody has answered this in 10 hours because your question is not clear.  Accept?  What exactly are you trying to do?
    Do you mean authorize?

  • FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "Warp Factor" could not be used because the original file could not be located."

    FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "XXXXX" could not be used because the original file could not be located."
    I saw the reply that iTunes was probably moved. I restored it from Time Machine when my hard drive crashed. How do I fix it to import into FCP X?

    I figured it out by going into iTunes and clicking on the Library link under File. This bring up a box that allows the music files to be reconnected to the iTunes music folder.
    FCP X now sees the music and it can be placed into the project timeline.

  • Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

    Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
    If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
    Thanks
    Jay

    +If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
    If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
    Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
    Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

  • Can't play any music on PC any more

    Hi there
    I have 5800 CWM phone and the CWM licence expired in October 2010.  Tthat's fine, as I was able to keep playing the music I had downloaded on both my registered PC and the phone itself.
    After a little while I  could no longer transfer music from PC to phone.  I have about 20GB of music and the phone has about 5GB of space for music so periodically I would transfer different stuff to the phone.
    Then I started being unable to play some songs on the PC at all - licence problems for some songs while others would play OK.
    Now I can not play any music on the PC at all.  I'm getting an error messge saying there is no licence, then an optimistic message saying "Your licence is being delivered" which would not happen.  Then I would get a message saying I needed to delete the song/album and redownload it from my download history.  I can see my download history but no longer have an option to re-download it - I  can only buy it.
    Additionally I am now getting a messge saying that "We can't sign you in" and that I need an OVI Music account which I already have.  I can login to Ovi.com with it just fine.
    This is starting to get really tiresome.  From having a handset which i could download any music for a year and keep after the year was up, on both the PC and the phone.  I now only have the music that is already on the phone.  The remaining music I can't access and indeed can't play any of it at all on the PC.
    Does anyone else have this kind of problem that has been fixed?  BTW it is now a level 3 support problem with no fix in sight.  Sorry for the long post.
    Cheers

    Update
    (Apologies if this sounds familiar to anyone0
    Finally got the first part of the problem fixed.  Though Ovi player said it was my registered PC, it was not.  Nokia support (2nd level?) reset it so I can now see my Download History.
    All was fine initially - started re-downloading all the albums I had downloaded and which no longer worked.
    Fine for stuff after Oct 2010.  Anything older than that I cannot download the album with 1 click, and instead have to download each individual track one at a time, then navigate away from that page, then back again to get track 2 etc etc.  Which is about a 30sec round trip for each track.  I had about 519 albums with about 8000 songs lots of classical) so that's 4000 minutes for me sat here manually downloading everything again.
    Then, I thought I could use the website ovi.com instead to download music, rather than Ovi player, but... when I logged in there it claims that I am not using my registered PC (though I have the Ovi player open on the same PC saying it is registered).
    Just being able to download the albums in one go would be nice.  Not as nice as not having to do it at all, but it would be good nonetheless.
    Even having a REFRESH option on the download history page would be nice.  Or navigation to pages at the TOPas well as the bottom of the page. 
    It really starts to look like it is designed to be so frustrating that people eventually don't bother any more. It'll take me months (at 1 hour a day) to manually download all the stuff I used to have.
    Rant over.

  • Disabled account so now I can't play the music purchased on that account

    My dad got a virus on his computer so Apple disabled his account. I bought hundreds of dollars worth of music on his account. I bought a new MacBook Pro and loaded my music onto the new computer, but when I try to play the music I bought on his account it tells me to authorize the computer using his account. I try to do that, but it says his account is disabled and I can't authorize the computer on his account. I authorized it using my account, but I still can't play the music purchased on his account from a different computer.

    Why did Apple disable the iTunes Store account? Did you ask them to do it?
    You must have asked them to do so as they would have no way of doing this automatically because your PC had a virus.
    If the account has been disabled how do you then expect to be able to log in to it?
    Purchases are made by a specific account, so it makes sense that your account will not let you play the music it did not purchase.
    Ask Apple to enable the account, as I can see no reason for it to be disabled at all. Unless you can provide a more meaningful explanation as to why and how it was disabled.

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!

  • Can I play separate music content to different speakers using Airplay via the Airport Express?

    Can I play separate music content to different speakers using Airplay via Airport Express?

    If you mean can you simultaneously stream different audio sources to multiple speakers the answer is no. You can only stream a single source to one or more speakers.

  • Can't play youtube music videos on facebook

    hi everyone, i was wondering, am i the only person who can't play music-videos from youtube - on facebook? i don't have this problem on chrome [which belongs to google, and so is youtube..]
    it started in the last few days, or weeks, before i updated my firefox. i can't play youtube music-videos posted on facebook from facebook, but i can play them only from youtube.com.
    when i try to play a video that has music in it, i get this message:
    "this video contains content from RECORDLABEL. it is restricted from playback on certain sites. watch on youtube"
    i also sometimes get a message that a certain video can't be played from playlists, but i can watch the video from its page [i don't know if it's related..].
    my friends who use chrome can play music-videos on facebook, and i tried for myself and it plays the videos and doesn't show any restrictions messages.
    i didn't try on explorer [bleh] or opera.
    so my question again is, do you have the same problem too?
    i can play this video on facebook: [it's funny as hell, watch it!]
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=717vb7kLKKk
    but i can't play this one on facebook, only on youtube: [and other music-videos, i can give you a million examples]

    thanks :]

    "11 people have this problem", hm... maybe i should try from a different computer. any ideas what might be the problem? if it's because of an addon i have, country, anything?

  • The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
