Cant Consolidate Library error message

This is the message I get when I try to consolidate my music. Copying music failed. The file name was invalid or to long. The way I tryed to consolidate my library was going threw the advanced option. I have more then enough space on my hard drive. It only consolidated a couple of artist before I got the error message.
Any one know what I can do?
Thanks for the help
Joe

What I noticed was, the consolidate function starts copying oldest files first.
I had to monitor the new consolidated folder using Win Explorer and display the "Date Created" column.
For me, it stopped after a Carole King album every time.
Then I had to go back and look at the folder itunes was trying to copy files from, again sorted in Win Explorer by "Date Created" and see what was added to my PC after Carole King. That is how I found the opera album in the compilations folder.
Here is the thread I had started on this problem.

    Here is what another person did, they went through and shortened the really long song names.

    Good luck! iTunes is really bad about not saying which file is causing the problem. It just stops the entire process instead of skipping over the problem file.
    Another thing to try is to put your music folder somewhere else with a shorter name.
    The default folder location for the music files is here
    C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    That is a pretty long path.
    You could make a new folder on the root C: drive just name it C:Songs. Go into iTunes > Edit > Preferences, then click the Advanced tab at the top of the window and click General. Click the Change button and browse to the new C:Songs folder
    ....and hope the shorter name lets the consolidate work.

    Thanks,

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Runtime Library Error message

    Am having issues with using Adobe Reader X. Have been getting the Runtime Library Error message box. What do I need to do to resolve this issue?

    Pat,
    Thank you for responding. The computer I'm having issues with is a Windows
    XP, SP2-SP3 system. It seems that the error message actually connects the
    problem to Internet Explorer. I by-passed IE and downloaded Firefox and
    Adobe Reader seems to be running fine now through Firefox.

  • Consolidate Library Error

    Hi,
    I'm looking to migrate my iTunes library to another hard disk on my laptop.  I have followed steps on Apple's website where I reset the library location to the new drive and am now using the consolidate library function.
    I'll highlight 20GB of files and select consolidate library however it trucks along for a while until it seemingly finds a file it doesn't like and iTunes hangs for 20 minutes then gives me an error message "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.".  While it's hung the copying progress bar shows the file it was supposed to be copying so I can identify the problematic song and skip that artist however I then find it hits same issue with another file along the way.
    I've got about 170GB of media so it's not really practical to go through this process of bypassing files it doesn't like so I wondered if anyone has any idea why these files are causing problems for iTunes?
    I have run chkdsk on both the source and destination drives and no errors came back and I don't think it's an issue with the drives as I copied a load of other stuff to the new drive without issue.  The source drive is my Windows drive and I don't see any errors there.
    So, I have my original library files on C: and some copied files on D:, which is now set as the library location.  Can I potentially have my 'old' library as is on C: and have any new files running from D: concurrently so I've got it in two locations simulataneously?  This way I can 'consolidate' what iTunes will let me copy to D: and leave anything else on C: and have any new files imported into D:, would this work?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I assume you ran chkdsk with the "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" option? One failure would be annoying to transfer would be annoying. Repeated failures suggest there may be an underlying problem with one of the disks. I'd be keen to get another drive and start backing up to it.
    iTunes will work OK with the files in the split locations, but you have to manually check what can be safely deleted from drive C. Normally I'd recommend that you move the entire iTunes folder as a unit and then hold down shift as you launch iTunes to choose the library in the new location. Given that you are part way through consolidating this isn't so simple now, but see my post make a split library portable for more information.

  • C runtime library error message

    Windows Vista User
    After upgrading to new iTunes version, this error message appears:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R5034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    This is followed by the following error screen
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
    Twice I have uninstalled and installed iTunes, same result.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Can't consolidate files- error message 69

    I am trying to back up my iTunes file to a hard drive. While consolidating, I repeatedly receive the error message :copying music failed. an unknown error occurred.
    It consolidates most of my music, but keeps stopping at random songs. Can anyone help me to solve my consolidation problem?

  • New ipod not syncing to library - error message -69?

    Just bought new ipod and it begins to sync with my existing library, but once it gets to the "K"'s it says it can't sync a particular song and then only syncs a tiny fraction of what it was syncing before the error message.
    I thought it was a particular problem with the song, so I deleted the song. Then I deleted an entire artist. Then it had the same issue with the next artist in line alphabetically.
    Help!

    The message is saying that iTunes can find the file for  "Stuff you need to know part 3" can't be found.  Does (what ever it is, a song? podcast or what) play in iTunes?  Try deleting and redownloading.

  • I have Adobe Illustrator CS5 Runtime C++ Library Error Message

    When I open a large Ai file I get an error saying Runtime C++ Library error, how do I fix it? It works with small files but not my large one, this is the only program it has been doing it and just occurred recently within the last week. I have Windows 7 (PC obviously), I've tried uninstalling the programs and re-installing, deleting folders/files and restarting the program and still comes up when I try to open just one file, that's pretty big and don't know what else to do.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • Itunes Library error message on Powerbook G4

    I have never had this error message pop up. Today I tried to copy some songs from my powerbook to my other mac for a video I was doing, the CD got stuck (doesn't even show up on screen) and I can't eject it AND now my itunes doesn't work saying something like "Itunes library is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file."
    I already tried one of the thread recommendations that said to go to library folder take out 2 files library and xml, yadda yadda but that did not work. I did it three times.
    Is there something else I can try! HELP. I don't have the money to pay $49 to ask some one this over the phone.

    Hello all.
    Below is some information that may assist
    1. Go to Control Panel
    2. Now go to Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features if it is Vista
    3. Uninstall anything called Quicktime made by Apple. If you happen to see Quick Time Alternative you will need to uninstall this as well.
    *Even though it may not tell you. I advise a reboot once this is finished. Now proceed to the link below to download the Quicktime Standalone
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Make sure to download the Standalone version. Not the iTunes+Quicktime
    Once this is done. Then attempt to launch iTunes. If you continue to get the same message try the following
    -Full basic Uninstall of Apple Software
    1. Go to Control Panel
    2. Now go to Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features if it is Vista
    *Uninstall in the following order if possible as this will decrease amount of reboots needed
    -Apple Mobile Device Support
    -Apple Software Updates
    -Bonjour
    -Windows iPod Updaters
    -Mobile Me Pref
    -Quicktime
    -iTunes
    *Reboot and then download and install iTunes+Quicktime
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If none of those first 2 phases work. Try the last option down below. A little more in depth but this is a full cleanup of all Apple files and folders and programs.

  • Downloading books from library -error message "Adobe error EXC_BAD_ACCESS".

    When I download books from the library digital editions crashes with this error message "Adobe error EXC_BAD_ACCESS".  Apple support says it's an Adobe issue.  Any idea how to fix?  BTW when I download from KOBO library I do not receive this error.

    When Apple replaced your HD, did they or you, re-install the software that was on your old Drive?
    If you made a clone of your old HD and copied it back, you probably brought back all of your old troubles with it!
    I suggest that you remove CS2 entirely; then run Disk Warrior to repair all of your Dirctories and then do a fresh installation of CS2 from the original DVD.
    Just be sure that you have saved any Actions and other personal Presets somewhere safely before trashing CS2.

  • Cant download apps, error message can't set up on new computer

    why I'm having problems downloading apps? I enter my credit card number error message says ' your account has been assessed from a nre computer of device and I must verify payment.

    Mail has a bug that causes ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes to sometimes be a file instead of a folder, and that prevents Mail from creating any mailboxes there.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate Mailboxes. If it’s a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • "Shared library error" message

    Does anyone know what this is?
    The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
    8 <Transport Monitor> <Transport Monitor> <HotSyncLib.PPC> "
    It appeared on startup after performing an archive and reinstall of Tiger. At the same time, Firefox became completely unstable, and other programs started crashing too. I had an idea that perhaps the computer's files didn't like that I was now at 10.4.4 instead of 10.4.11, so last night I did all my system updates. Everything's now more stable; I haven't run it for long but I've now been in Firefox for almost 15 minutes! Still, the above message appears on startup.
    Message was edited by: litterbuggy

    <<sigh>> I ran the Migration Assistant today, and while all my third-party programs came over, my settings and whatnot didn't (e.g. Firefox was the basic program, without all my add-ons, bookmarks, etc.; when I looked in Application Support there was no Firefox support folder; same with Quicken, Palm, etc.). I started fooling around and somehow mucked things up--suddenly the computer was hiccuping, and sometimes the mouse and keyboard stopped working (I could get the cursor to move with the mouse but it wouldn't select or open anything. And I couldn't get my LaCie to show up in the Finder. So now I'm performing an erase/install and will run the upgrades.
    The question is, did I do something wrong with Migration assistant? BDA, when you used it, did it transfer your preferences and application support stuff for third party programs? Or did you have to go back and rescue the files? It occurs to me that perhaps the assistant pulled info from another place in the computer. If I go to the Library folder in the Macintosh Hard Drive, Firefox isn't in the Applications Support folder; but if I go to Library in my home folder it's there. Isn't that where the Assistant should be looking?
    And another (sillier) question: if I 'migrate' manually, do I just drag and drop the eMac folder onto the new iMac folder if the names are the same (e.g. iTunes, Internet Plugins, etc.)?
    Boy, am I glad you guys are here...

  • CS4 library error message

    Can anyone help, every time I open Indesign I get an error message stating that three of my Libraries cannot be found Do I want to pospone their recovery.
    It does not matter if I press yes or no to recover or delete the files. The only way to get rid of the error window is to press cancel
    Note all three libraries are threr and accessable when the window goes.
    One thing I note is one of the libraries has an older name - It may be searching for older libraries bit I cant get rid of them by using the Yes/No buttons
    I have removed Preferences and Saved Data files but to no avail and deleted and reloaded existing libraries
    Anyone have any suggestions
    Cheers Chris

    Hi Thanks for the advice. I reset and removed all custom workspaces but the phantom libraries still appeared.
    In frustration when the Missing libraries panel appeared I pressed the NO button (to delete missing librarys) about 30 times the the window finally dissapeared without having to click the cancel button. The window has not reappeared. lets hope it stays that way.
    Thanks for your input anyway
    Cheers
