Have two albums in iTunes that say can't find file location but they are on iPod nano and will play on nano but not in iTunes

I'm trying to play two albums using iTunes but they say the files can't be located and won't play.  The albums are on my iPod Nano 3rd Gen. and will play there.  Syncing my iPod and computer doesn't resolve the problem.  How do I get the albums from the nano to the computer?

Hello, FayAnnR. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when iTunes indicates that a file can not be located. 
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
If the media was purchased from iTunes, I would recommend deleting the missing media and either transfer purchased from your iPod or download them again via the third article below.

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • My itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
    I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
    After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
    To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this...

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    Hi jandroantonio,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone update may not have completed succesfully. Not to worry, we have an article with information on how to treat this symptom:

I HAVE CONTACTED ITUNES THROUGH THIS REDICULOUSLY CHICKEN SH_T SYSTEM THEY USE SO THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE TO HEAR HOW UPSET A PERSON IS NOW THAT THEY CANNOT BUY FOOD FOR THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF A MISTAKE MADE ON ITUNES PART.  I DID RECEIVE AN EMAILED RESPONSE FROM STEPHANIE WHO ADVISED THIS WAS PUCHARED ON A PHONE THAT HAS PURCHASED DOWNLOADS IN THE PAST. I WONDER IF SHE THOUGHT TO LOOK AT MY ENTIRE DOWNLOAD HISTORY AND DISCOVER THAT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN PURCHASED ON MY ITUNE ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING ME NOW.  THAT IS BECAUSE I DO TRY TO MONITOR THIS ACCOUNT AND OBVIOUSLY THIS LAST PURCHASE WAS DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE UNTIL I CHECKED MY ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT, WHICH I DO EVERY DAY.  TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE APP STATES IT IS FREE TO INSTALL WHEN YOU PULL IT UP SO NO ONE HAS CLARIFIED TO MY WHERE THE $99.99 COMES INTO PLAY.  I WILL NOT DROP THIS UNTIL MY BACK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PROPERERLY CREDITED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME IT TOOK YOU TO TAKE MY MONEY.

  • My older iPod Touch has music from another Apple ID, but I have had multiple other Apple IDs and I can't find out which ones they are from.  I would also like to know how I can copy the music and have it saved to my computer as an audio file.

    So I have an iPod Touch, 2nd or 3rd gen., and it has music synced from multiple Apple IDs. I need to know how to copy that music as an audio file to save on my computer.

    You can copy iTunes purchased from a device to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - if the account is authorised on your computer's iTunes then you should be prompted to authorise it when trying to copy them.
    Or there are programs listed half-way down this page which can copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    You can then add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, again you should be prompted to authorise the account if it's not already authorised.
    You can also find the account that a track is tied to be selecting/highlighting it in the My Music part of your library, or the Music section of 'OnMy Device' when you select the device, and doing 'get-info' (command-i) - it will show on one of the tabs on the popup

  • ITunes 7.1 can't find files

    I have all of my music on an external firewire drive. My Finder froze this morning and I had no choice but to manually power the computer down. When I restarted, iTunes had changed its iTunes Music Folder Location to the Music folder on my hard drive (as it often does when I disconnect the drive while iTunes is open). When I changed the location back to the folder on my external drive, however, all the music is listed in iTunes but the dreaded exclamation mark is beside every song except ones I've recently added (within the last month or so).
    I have changed the folder and changed it back several times. I've disconnected the external drive and reconnected. I've verified/repaired the hard drive and the external drive in Disk Utility. I've even trashed my iTunes prefs and I still have the same problem.
    What am I forgetting here?
    Grant

    Having followed the advice contained within the article against my better judgment, I'm actually in a worse position.
    I imported the iTunes Music Library File only to duplicate all of my playlists. This will take some time to undo, as I have hundreds of playlists spread out through multiple folders.
    Let me emphasize that all my playlists are intact. iTunes simply is not associating the songs with my the underlying files (which are all still fine and in the same location as they've always been). The problem I need to resolve is the exclamation points aside of nearly every song (save the ones I recently added).
    Also, as I have noted in my OS details, I have already updated to 10.4.9.
    I'm open to the next round of suggestions.

  • Every time I try signing into Facetime or Imessage it says that they are encountering an error and to try again later but it's been doing this since I got my computer and I've had it for several months.

    Is there anyway anyone can help me. I don't know if I have to go to a setting in my computer or anything. So if you could just tell me why they are not working that would be great!!

    See if this - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3970?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - can be of any help.
