Cant find a particular song...

just curious how it works.....
i was looking for a particular song, i found several covers of the band, but not the original....
the album it is on, isnt in itunes...but the artist's other albums are on itunes
i'm assuming its some sort of copywriting issue or something
but is there a way to recommend a song/album/artist?

The song is actually titled "Flagpole Sitta" and was released on their first album, Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?, which isn't available on the iTunes Store nor on any download store that I can find. There may be licensing issues for download sales since the membership in the band has changed since that first album, or with Arena Rock, the record company that released that album.

  • Search doesn't find a particular song...and another problem...

    I'm going to keep this on a particular music file because all of this is related to THAT music file:
    MacBook Pro 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB of 1067MHz DDR3 RAM, running OS X 10.9.5
    iTunes 12.0.1.26
    iPhone 5 running iOS 8.1
    song file: "I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend" by Scotty McCreery
    Before I get into the details, I purchased the song in iTunes, I have deleted the song file completely from both my Mac and my iPhone, and I have re-downloaded the file onto my Mac and the iPhone with the same problem persisting.
    Two months ago, I made a 5-second ringer from the song file.  Since then, the original song itself keeps playing the same 5-seconds that was turned into the .m4r file.  I have removed the delimiters in the "options" for the song, changed the .m4r file details so that the file name and descriptors are different from the original file.  The song plays fine on my Mac, but it still plays as the same 5-second clip/ringer on my iPhone.  Oddly, when I use the search bar in iTunes, I can't locate the song using its name, but it shows up if I search for Scotty McCreery.
    Any ideas?

    Click the magnifying glass in the search box and untick Search entire library if ticked. This should make searching easier.
    Search for Wanna Be Your Friend. Chances are that a different character has been used for the apostrophe, e.g. ’ (right slanted quote) instead of ' (single quote) so what you type at the keyboard doesn't match what's in the tag. (iTunes should cope anyway but that is another story.)
    Locate the song on the iPhone and swipe to delete it, then resync.

  • I am recently switched from a pc to laptop and in the move I can't find my "purchased" songs in my library any more.How do I get my purchased songs back into my lnew laptop Itunes library?

    I recently switched from a pc to a laptop and am in process of moving my Itunes library to my laptop.I cant find my "purchased"songs .How do I recover my purchased songs and get them into my new laptop library? There is a record of my purchase in the Itunes store.

    "Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

  • Cant find Itunes playlists in Time Machine

    I backed up my Itunes with Time Machine to a passport external hard drive. I am now trying to move my Itunes library to another computer. When I go into the files I see a file under applications called Itunes.app but when I dig into it I cant find my playlist, songs, apps, any of that stuff to transfer. There is immediately a file called contents, then in that is (codesignat, frameworks,MacOS,resources,coderesources,info.plst (a quicktime), pkginfo, version.plist (another quicktime). All I want to do is move my Itunes to this computer, thought it would be as easy as sliding it over but its not converting. When I try to combine the libraries its not finding a music or app file in these. Does anyone know where in Time machine this would be backed up or what Im doing wrong?
    important note, Im using Macdrive to move from my mac files to a PC. My Mac is dead but I had done a complete time machine backup prior to it.

    Data is not stored in the application. iTunes data is stored in /Users/username/Music/iTunes.

  • I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

    However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

    I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
    AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
    The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
    There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
    If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

    Next try:

  • I just downloaded itunes 11.. and now i cant find out how to display duplicates and also it doesnt show the total amount of songs in my library...anybody know..???

    I just downloaded itunes 11 and now i cant find the display duplicates..and it doesnt show the total amount of songs in my library..anybody know..??

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

  • Have downloaded a song (Skyfall) and cant find it in the Artists or Album view.

    Have downloaded a song (Skyfall) from the iTunes store and cant find it in the iTunes11 Artists or Album view. I find it when I search and can play it. I have tried adding the file manually to my library. Still no show. The song also doesn't show in my smart playlist - 'recently added'. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Actual its not Photoshop  menu (File > Edit > Presets > Preset Manager > Load)
    It is menu Edit>Presets>Preset Manager...  That should open the Preset manager dialog.  You then need to use the pull-down menu and select tools.  Then Click on Load. That should Open a Load file selection dialog. Where you should be able to select a *.TPL file and click Load.

  • Today when i was downloading new songs a message popped up stating that my ipod can not be used because i have to update the software to 10.6.3. I cant find anywhere on the this website where i can update my ipod touch to that version

    Today when trying to download new songs to my Ipod touch a message popped up stating that my Ipod can not be used because I need to update the software to 10.6.3 and to go www.itunes.com. I cant find where to update my Ipod touch to the version on the website. HELP!!!

    I suspect you have a Mac with OSX 10.5.8. If so see:
    ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
    Otherwise what OS and version do yo have?
    What version of iTunes do you have?

  • Old problem I know but I cant play any of the songs in my library.tells me  cant find original  . Have not changed anything  apart from going from xp to windows 7.

    This support community is a bit new for me. Have read some old entries with the same problem but couldnt see any solutions. Libray shows all the songs ( over 2500) but I cant play any of them. Message is that itunes cant find the original.   ???? only difference is going from xp to windows 7 . can I put the songs from my ipod back on my computer maybe?

    Go into windows explorer and find out where the music is now located - in Windows 7 you have libraries for documents, music, photos and video.
    iTunes is located:
    Music
    itunes
    iTunes Media
    music
    If all the files are in that place it may just be that you have to amend a preference in iTunes:
    Edit
    Preferences
    Advanced
    ensure   Keep itunes Media organised and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both ticked
    Once ticked you will have a bit of a wait while iTunes re-organises the library but then your songs should all be playable again.
