Cant Play Songs

I have spent the better half of 4 hours trying to get my itunes to work. I have followed all of the online instructions.  I also have AVG and that probably was the culprit.]
In a nutshell, I first tried to rename and old library file as the current......no dice
Then it tried the file "find tracks" as suggested by Turg.....no dice
Then I tried to take and old  .tmp file and rename it as iTunes Library....no dice
Finally I updated AVG, then disabled it...no change.
Even after updating and disabling AVG, I tried all the above again...no dice
I then decided to uninstall Itunes 11 and reinstalled 10.7 for WIndows 7, at first it wouldnt work, so I renamed a pre Sept 2012 library to my current Library...FInally I got an intact Library  (albeit 8 months old)
HOwever when I click on any track I get the error code of "..could not be used b/c the original file....etc"
I retried the find tracks program....no dice
As I looked closely in the Itunes Music folder, all the artists were there, but no tracks in those files.  I did find the tracks but it is inside the iTunes foleder...meaning it is in the C:\Users\Mark\Music\iTunes\iTunes\iTunes Music folder.
Any suggestions how to move the inner iTunes folder (which has 90Gig of music) to the primary iTunes folder without copy and pasting 90 gigs twice???
Need some help.
It should be noted I retried the "find tracks" program and attempted the iTunes/iTunes pathway but it didnt work.
Thanks in advance,  this has been a long day!!!

You might try removing songs from ipod then de-authorize machine and re-authorize...then move songs back over.

  • My computer crashed, cant play songs from iPhone in Itunes,getback app?

    After my computer crashed i install new system and itunes. When i connected an iphone, i cant play songs on it. Somebody told me, when i start any sync i will lost all my songs.I would like to keep it or i will loose them.And as well how can i get back all my app what wasnt on my iphone installed?

    hard drives will always crash, and you should ALWAYS keep a backup. it's surprising how many people still don't know this little fact about computers, and then they do nothing by cry when all of their data is gone.
    let this be a lesson from here on out - ALWAYS KEEP A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA. the easiest way is to use an external hard drive.
    there are apps that will allow you to get your music off of the iPhone, but they are not supported by apple.
    and just because you think it's stupid does not mean it is done to annoy you. it was most likely done as an agreement with the music industry, but since no one here officially works at apple, we don't know the actual reasons.
    also, you can "repurchase" the apps you have for free. you will be asked if you want to redownload the app. (i've done this.)
    music (from what i understand) that was purchased on the iPhone but not yet synced can be synced without deleting it off of the iPhone, but this can only be done once (i think).

  • Computer ia already authorized, cant play song when downloaded the album

    Purchased an album, cant play a song from it because my computer or ipod is not authourized,even though the comp is authourized.

    I have the same issue...  My ITunes is telling me that I used a different username (e-mail) to download this music, when I've only had one Apple ID my entire time using ITunes.
    Also, when I log in with my existing current ID (that I purchased the song with), it tells me that this computer is already authorized, but doesn't let me play it!

  • Lost ring sound and cant play songs

    i lost my ring sound and i have no sound when i try to play down loaded songs help !curve 8500

    No you cannot accomplish what you want unless you
    manually manage your tracks. If you on auto sync,
    there would be no reason to have to select tracks.
    Yes there is a need. If I bring my IPOD to work, and want to play some music, i need to select the track on my ipod as this is where the music is.
    My Library at work has no music on it.

  • Wont play songs on ITunes

    I cant play songs on Itunes because it says File cant be found and a lot of the songs like this have a ! next to them. Can anyone help?

    I'm not quite sure why you think you need to listen to a song in order to change the wrong info.
    You should just be able to right click on any song and select "get info" then click on "info" and then change the tag information.
    What happens when you try to play the song in iTunes?

    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • This is ridiculous.  Cant play purchased songs.

    OK...I know that I am not the only one having this problem as it is all over the place.  Why will Apple not provide any support on this?
    Windows XP, purchased album from Itunes, cant play 2 songs off the album.  I get the "this computer is not authorized to play...."  I enter my Apple ID and password and it says "this computer is already authorized"
    I have done every single step listed here :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    And still nothing..
    I can play every song on the album but 2.
    This is extremely frustrating!  Funny thing is...I can play the songs using other players..  

    I have done every single step listed here :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    And still nothing..
    I can play every song on the album but 2.
    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store, then.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • 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.

  • HT203433 I cant play that song. What is preventing this?

    In my I tunes library on my PC I cant play the songs with a light greg cloud next to them. Alsothe entire line is light greg. What is preventing this?

    You need to authorize the computer with that specific Apple ID. If that account's inaccessible, delete the song and then purchase it from your current Apple ID, or click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • Cant play/add songs

    Up until a couple days ago iTunes was working fine, but then it started acting up.
    Only a small amount of the songs would play, when I clicked play on the others nothing would happen. So I deleted my music library and tried importing the songs again. iTunes only added the songs that played before, it refuses to add the others. No errors come up or anything of the sort.

    Yes I have tried the Apple suggestions to no avail.  I appreciate your replies and Im still trying to work it out.  If I deactivate and then re activate would that do it you think??  Im no computer wizz and dont want to stuff it up so I cant play anything lol
