Can't relocate many missing files on iTunes 11, please HELP

Hi,
I have this problem with iTunes. I moved all my music to a new folder and not about 1200 files can not be located. I tried everything i could find in forums and YouTube, nothing worked. I created a new folder and copied all songs, without folders, just .mp3 files. I set this folder as iTunes Media folder location and iTunes found about 200 files out of 1400. So the other 1200 are still with this sign . I literally tried everything I could, but nothing worked Please HELP

What you should have done was to declare a new iTunes Media folder, let iTunes copy the content to it, back up, then delete the originals.
Since it is too late to reverse what you done I suggest you try my script FindTracks. For details on how it works see this thread.

  • How Can I Change the Language of my Itunes? PLEASE HELP!

    Alright, I'm in a bit of a dillemna here. My itunes is in Korean, but I can't read the language at all. I don't know what buttons to press to change it to English.

  • Drivers are somehow missing after upgrading iTunes. Please help

    I have had this problem for months now and have just dealt with it, but after getting a problem fixed with my iPod Classic, I thought now would be the right time to finally find out something about this and maybe get the problem solved...
    When upgrading my iTunes version, the install seems to go fine, but about halfway through the install process I lose my internet connection... the new iTunes will install completely and work fine, but from the time I lose the internet connection, Windows is unable to find any networks because somehow the drivers for my network adapter seem to be missing...
    The only thing I've been able to do to get my internet connection/drivers back is to use System Restore and restore the system to a few days back, and of course go back to the old version of iTunes. I've probably tried upgrading 10 times or more since the first time this happened as more updates are available, but the same thing happens every time... It would be nice to update, since I've been having a few issues with iTunes lately that upgrading might help fix (maybe?), but if it means choosing between an internet connection and a newer version of iTunes, then of course I'm not upgrading.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what I can do? Thanks.

    The problem is still there with iTunes 9, and nobody has even attempted to answer my question... My mom "accidentally" installed the upgrade again this morning, and I almost missed my online class because I had to restore the computer. Can anybody tell me anything? Or am I just stuck ignoring the update windows and using an old version of iTunes forever? Half the pages on the store tell me to upgrade to see the content, and it's really, really annoying me. Next, I probably won't even be able to sync my iPod without it telling me to upgrade, and I can't...

  • Missing tabs in iTunes?  Please help!

    I have just received a new 80GB iPod and was going thru all the tutorials about how to use it & am now having problems. In the tutorials, it says go to Edit then Preferences to open a settings box with tabs at the top. It shows in the picture to have a tab called iPod, mine doesn't have that. It also says in the summary area when the iPod is attached, there would be a tab for Photos but mine doesn't have that either. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, layla2052.
    It sounds like you may be referencing an out-of-date tutorial because the iPod tab in iTunes Preferences went away with the release of iTunes 7.
    Have a look at this Apple Support page for the way to now access your iPod settings and let us know if it helps you set things up.

  • Repeating problems (1) Many Missing Files; and (2) Downloading From iTunes

    I am having multiple issues with the iTunes store currently. I have spoken with an Apple Expert on August 14, 2010 (case number available if needed). Although he was very good at helping me to the best of his ability, he referred me to iTunes Store Customer Service, which I previously was in contact with.
    I have 2 types of repeating problems (1) Many Missing Files; and (2) Downloading From iTunes Store.
    _Problem One - (1) Downloading From iTunes Store_
    I have 1610 missing files from my iTunes folders. I created a list of missing items by following these steps:
    +If for any reason you find yourself with random missing tracks, (or are trying to recover from a dying hard drive like me), there is an easy way to isolate those missing tracks.+
    +1. Create a standard playlist called "Not Missing".+
    +2. Drag your entire library into that playlist. Missing tracks cannot+
    +be copied to a playlist.+
    +3. Create a smart playlist called where you select the following conditions in the options window for the new smart playlist:+
    +*dropdown menu* PLAYLIST+
    +*dropdown menu* IS NOT+
    +*dropdown menu* NOT MISSING.+
    +4. Rename the smart playlist "Missing"+
    +5. Right Click the "Missing" playlist+
    +6. Click the "Export..." option+
    +7. Select the Plain Text option and Desktop location+
    My missing playlistable items represent a better part of a decades worth of audiobook files, transfered files from my PC days, etc... i loved my - now missing - Doctor Who and Torchwood purchases from iTunes.
    I have already read the Trouble Shooting, checked Time Machine Backup, and been walked through replacing the preferences list. The missing file path from the "get info" options in iTunes points towards a non-existant file.
    _Problem Two (2) Downloading From iTunes Store_
    I have had problems downloading files from iTunes for months. I first noticed it with the TV Show "Avatar: The Last Airbender". Lately, when I download from the (non-music) part of the store, the majority of files are downloaded and then immediately not found. This has been prompting iTunes to repeat the download. Until I force quit itunes and *potentially cry*.
    There have been multiple iTunes store purchases of audio books recently. If I reported the missing file immediately, I can contact iTunes support to repost the file and that usually fixes the issue. But today, I went to go rewatch "Torchwood: Children of Earth" and noticed Problem One.
    _Hind Sight_
    If provided with a spreadsheet of my iTunes Store purchase history, I can write a vlookup( formula in excel to compare the list against my exported missing list so a shortlist of what is missing from just my iTunes Store purchase history can be created (hint: it's the majority of items from the list, others are years worth of files from my PC days). If we could do that, could iTunes make my missing purchases available?
    Then we can focus on purely, trying to figure out why they went missing in the first place - so we can prevent it again & possibly help others from running into the same.
    Plea
    I strongly suspect the two issues are related to a root cause ... in addition to my user error in file management of backups ... what is going on?

    iTunes Support (Eric) emailed me some instructions. I am posting, in hopes that this will help others.

  • Help with the missing file in iTunes library on Mac

    My recent purchase, a movie, from iTunes does not appear in the library.  It shows up on my other devices, iPhone and Apple TV, though. There's an exclamation mark next to the movie file in the libaray and I did try to locate the missing file but it didnt work out. It seems that it hasnt even downloaded the pertaining *.m4v file. I also checked for any incomplete downloaded file, but there wasn't any... Is there any other way I can retrieve/redownload the missing file from my Apple ID account (because I have the movie on my other devices) to my library on Mac?

    Well it started working for me today, out of the blue.
    The only thing that I think could be a coincidence is that I recently installed Adobe CS6 on my Mac (it's likely that this is when the problem started), but today I had to open a CS5 product. The next time I looked at iTunes everything was working.
    I doubt that has anything to do with it, but hey maybe! I hope others are experiencing the fix too

  • How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.

  • Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    iNads,
    .CDA files are simple index files, less than 1 kB in size, that do not contain any audio.  There is no reason to import them.
    If you have the physical CD and wish to rip it into iTunes, you can import it per this guide:  iTunes 12 for Mac: Import songs from CDs

    I found this discussion about three or four months ago. I was having the same problem with Safari not opening, along with my other login items.

    Thanks Linc!
    HOWEVER... Today, all of the sudden... Out of out of the blue... I have the same problem, again!?
    I tried removing, then re-adding, the URL file from the log in items, automatic open list.
    It did not work?
    Does anybody have any ideas/solutions regarding this issue? This is becoming VERY aggravating!

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country.
