I'm not certain, but it sounds like you are describing missing file syndrome where tracks show up with exclamation marks...
This normally happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. It may be a by-product of the way you moved the library. Other possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription?

    I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription? Different answers in this forum make it iTune match enabled. But enabling iTune match cost me $24. Help please.

    You are correct, you cannot delete songs from iTunes in the Cloud. This is where all of your purchases are permanently stored so if you want to re-download something you can. Sometimes purchases will no longer be available, if the merchant pulls them from the iTunes store, but for the most part, all of your past purchases will remain in iTunes in the Cloud.
    This has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes Match.
    What is the issue you are experiencing?

  • HT4108 I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?

    I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?

    If this is an iPad 1, it won't mirror, but it will still output video from the 30 Pin dock connector.
    If your new TV has a conventional VGA in and stereo inputs you can try this connector.

    I used to stream video from both Netflix and YouTube and from my Mac using iTunes sharing through my iPad then with this connector plug into my iPad and TV.
    It won't be high resolution, but it will get you picture from iPad to TV.
    Good Luck.

  • I have downloaded words with friends on my imac but cannot locate it. Can anyone help?

    I have downloaded the Words with Friends app on my imac but cannot locate it. Can anyone help please?

    Check your Downloads folder for file possibly ending .dmg. If it's not there, and you use Safari check in its Preferences>General panel to see where downloads are directed to. If you use another browser check its preferences to see where downloads should go.

    I know this sounds stupid but I had already done that. I synced using the manual instructions (both with USB lead and wifi) and then searched in video and music tabs for files. Nothing there. My PC shows the files are on the iPad (under devices/iPad on menu) but I can't find them anywhere. Neither can I find anything in the manual to suggest where else they could be.

  • When I download photos from a flash drive,everything is fine and they show in Events and Pictures, but when I click on the individual pic I get an error message saying that it cannot locate the JPG. Any thoughts?

    It sounds like your iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to not copy photos during import, i.e. a Referenced library:
    Check your Advanced preferences to see if that's the case. If it is the best solution would be to select the checkbox to copy the photos and reimport the photos from the flash drive.  Then check the new import. It it was OK you can delete the previous event with the "missing" photos.

  • I can receive emails but cannot send Why?

    I am a new user of ipad2 . I have finished setup and can receive emails but cannot send what do I need to change

    Go to Settings > Mail, contacts, Calendars > your mail account > and see what it shows for Outgoing Mail Server.  Does it have a name for the SMTP server such as outgoing.isp name.net?  If you tap that outgoing server, go to the page that has Outgoing Mail Server and lists the server name, user name, password...is there a password indicated, does it say Use SSL, and does it give a Port number?

  • User can receive email but cannot send

    Hi,
    I'm migrating a domain in an organization to another new domain. Now, we are migrating the workstations to the new domain. Users are not migrated, they are completely new in the new domain.
    So, the problem is that we have a workstation in the new domain and the user from new domain logged on on this machine. The user has successfully configured is old exchange account in Outlook (Exchange server is still in the old domain) and can receive email,
    but cannot send. 
    Can someone help please to find what is wrong?

    Hi Silva,
    Thank you for your question.
    Is there NDR when you send email?
    Which way outlook connect Exchange 2013?
    Where is email which was sent? “sent item” or “Draft”?
    Which user mailbox use when you configure profile? New domain user or old domain user?
    We could create a trust between new domain and old domain:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779840(WS.10).aspx
    We could ping old domain successfully on the new domain.
    If we have created mailbox for new domain user on old exchange, we could refer to the following link:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998031(v=exchg.150).aspx?f=255&mspperror=-2147217396
    In addition, we suggest we migrate user and Exchange to new domain as soon as possible.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • ITunes shows that there are no songs on my iphone but there are 274 songs there. The data storage shows up as "other" on iTunes. I just want to clear the music on my phone but  I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this?
