Downloaded a music file to my iPad how do I get iTunes to find it

It was from a website when I click it there is an error about not finding the right program.  How do I make itunes find it?

Ok thanks for the reply.
But I cant drag anything.  If there was a "right click" option then maybe I could find a copy function.
The file is accessed through the download manager and it wont play it.  I cant seem to figure out how to drag the file.
1st off even if I could drag it, it doesnt work like windows where other programs that are open at the bottom and you can drop there.
If the download manager takes up the whole screen how can I even get to itunes to drop anything in??
Remember this is on an iPad
Thanks!

  • My music files are "missing".  How do I get itunes to locate the files without identifying each music folder (files are in separate folders under torrent data and I don't want to open each one of them individually)

    Just like the title...  Music files are missing and I don't want to locate each folder individually, how do I get itunes to locate all of the music without taking each music file out from the album folders they're in?

  • How do I get itunes do find all my music?

    iTunes cannot locate multiple files from my library; they have not moved or changed. How do I get itunes do find all my music again. There are over 15,000 songs in my library - about half have an exclamation mark in my playlists.

    Hmm, not sure I understand how that might have happened. It seems as if the media folder has been pointed to the wrong level, put in a pre-iTunes 9 layout and then updated. All the <Artist> folders should be moved from iTunes to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Assuming iTunes moved the files around the filenames should be as expected. WMP, for example. might use different character substitutions for illegal characters and can user longer file and folder names. If anything remains broken FindTracks can take up the slack.

  • I've moved my iTunes media to a new drive, how do I get iTunes to find it. I'm using Windows 7

    Hi,
    I've moved my iTunes media to my 'spare' internal D Drive, following the instructions on this link:(I'm using Windows 7).
    Move your iTunes Media folder on a Windows PC - Apple Support
    I hit a problem at stage 11 when I had to move my original media file to the recycle bin. The process started then it stopped, saying that the file was too big for the recycle bin (54 GB or thereabouts). It then asked if I wanted to permanently delete the files instead. I said yes. (I have them backed up externally).
    The iTunes media file is in my D Drive, but I can't get iTunes to locate it. I've tried going through preferences/advanced and browsing to it but that does't seem to work.
    My media is all listed in iTunes, but on the cloud rather than on my hard drive (C). Downloading it all from the cloud would defeat the object of freeing space on my primary hard drive (C).
    Any ideas on how I could get iTunes to find the files on D Drive ?
    many thanks,
    Matt

    See Make a split library portable. With luck you should be able to move the iTunes folder to the D: drive, place the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to D:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. If all goes well it should be as if you'd moved the entire iTunes folder as a unit in the first place.

  • I recently got a new computer and reinstalled iTunes.  I restored my files from a Norton backup.  How do I get iTunes to find my music files?

    How do I get iTunes to search my hard drive for my music files?

    Find the location of iTunes Media folder from Advanced tab in iTunes' Preferences on your computer. Then copy the music from the Norton backup to the iTunes Media folder on the computer.

  • I copied all songs to an extern HD. how do i get itunes to find them there?

    hello! i have a big problem. my local HD is full of mp3s. so my system isn't working very well. so i copied all songs to an extern HD. But when i delete the songs from the local HD itunes doesn't find them anymore. so how do i get itunes to take the songs from the extern and no longer from the local HD?
    please help me!

    This article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes how to move your iTunes Library to a different location.
    The best thing to do ... if possible ... would be to go back to your original set-up and then follow those instructions. It's success will depend on whether you still have the original iTunes Library files .
    If that's not possible, you can follow the instructions in the Add to Library section of this KB article . iTunes will recognize the files on your external drive but will not maintain any of your playlists or related information.

  • HT4910 hello i have installed icloud on my mac, ipad and iphone. but when i create a document on my mac it does not show up on Pages file in my Ipad/ How do i get it to go from one to the other? and how do i back up to icloud from my Mac

    Hello
    I have uploaded and installed ICLOUD to all three of my devices MAC, i pad nd Iphone.
    From Ipad to Iphone i am able to retrieve PAGES documents as i write them. BUT now that i am back home i see that none of the new documents i am working on which are stored on my desktop are showing up in my PAGES file on my Ipad or Phone.
    How do i save to icloud from mac, how come i can't retrieve docs from IPAD to MAC either?
    should i back up my mac ICLOUD FIRST? and if so, Where do i back it up from?
    going mad as i edit on one during the day and the other in the evening , and would like them to sync automatically
    please can you help
    thanks
    marellaopp

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • How can i get itunes to find my music files?

    i am reloading my hard drive after it crashed.  everything is there, but itunes cannot find my files.  how do i match my music files up with itunes?  I keep getting the message "  original file cant be found"

    If that doesn't work for you then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • How can I get iTunes to find dislocated files on my portable hard drive?

    I have had to move my music files onto a portable hard drive to save space but now when I plug my portable hard drive in and try to play tunes the exclamation mark comes up. iTunes can identify individual mp3's when I want to play them, through a manual file search, but is it possible for iTunes to find all the music files at once either when I ask it to or even better identify them automatically for me?

    It looks like too many changes already had taken place in the 'iTunes Library' file, to start from the original situation.
    You can of course restore all the links manually, but you're probably still busy doing that next week.
    Try to rebuild the library, using the instructions in this article:
    How to recreate your iTunes Library
    You could loose some information.
    BTW. If your library mainly contains MP3's and AAC's and Apple Lossless, you won't loose any track related information (artwork, name, artist, album etc.)
    That information is stored inside the song file.
    Other information is stored inside the library files.
    More info in: What are the iTunes library files?
    You already made changes. Some links probably point to the external disk and some point to the internal. So I'm not sure re-creating the library will give satisfactory results. I hope it does of course.
    If it's all a mess now, you could consider to start from scratch.
    By doing this, you will loose all playlists, ratings, podcast subscriptions etc. but not track related info as mentioned above.
    To do this, trash the 'iTunes Library' file and run iTunes. you will start with an empty library. Drag and drop the 'iTunes Music' folder on it.
    All music will be added to the library.
    Consider this as a last resort. Try re-creating first.

  • How do i get itunes to find new albums

    i brought the new wwe album today and put it in my pc to copy it to my ipod but when i loaded itunes up it wouldnt find the tracks or the album, so i went on to windows media and it found it straight away how can i do this on itunes

    Is this a commercial CD or a CD-R burnt on another computer? If it's a CD-R from another computer the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand. For commercial CDs, you have to connect to the internet as iTunes picks up the track information from an online database. It will do this automatically if you are connected while you are importing or you can do it afterwards by connecting to the internet, highlighting the tracks and going to Advanced>Get CD Track names: iTunes for Windows - If you don't see the names of songs
