Help!  needed original file cannot be found

I move the whole iTunes files to a new computer. I can see all the songs. I purchase a new songs and connect my ipod mini to add to my ipod. I am getting "song could not be used because original file cannot be found" error message. What is wrong?
Alex

Alex,
Are these the newly purchased songs, or songs you moved to a new computer? Do they have ! next to them? Double click on one as if to play it in iTunes, if that ! comes up and a dialogue window to tell you that iTunes cannot locate the file, you will get the option to search for it.
If you do that and iTunes still cannot locate it, it's my guess that something went amiss when you moved them to your new computer.
You said you "moved the iTunes files", but did that include your iTunes music folder?
And Alex, it's always best when posting to include details of your computer system.

  • Help needed - song files cannot be found

    Hey guys,
    Due to low space on my computer, all of my music files and folders are located on an external HD.
    Recently, without thinking too much about the consequences, I have decided to make some order out of the mess I had on this external HD and I moved all of the music folders I had into one organized folder. a few days after, I tried to listen to some music using the iTunes and all of the songs were missing to iTunes due to the change I have made..a big Oops...
    Otherwise than locating each song all over (a task that will definitely take days or weeks), how can I overcome this error and make iTunes "scan" in some way by itself the external HD and find the new locations for ALL of my songs?
    (Of course, the basic assumption is that I don't remember all of the previous names and locations of the folders in the previous status, therefore, I cannot "undo" this situation...)
    Thanks a lot!
    Joe

  • My music library seems corrupted. Nearly every song (431 albums) displays "the song ... could not be used because the original file cannot be found". Is there any way to correct this? Please help, thanks, Kelly

    Almost my entire itunes music library seems corrupted. Nearly every song (431 albums) displys "the song ...  cannot be used because the original file cannot be found". Is there any way to correct this? Please help!

    Select one of the songs in question and right click, then select "Get Info". On the main dialog page you should see where iTunes thinks the file resides. Then use Windows Explorer to see if the file is actually there. If not, find out where your music is stored.If there is not a correlation between iTunes and reality, go into iTunes and delete all of the files which are not found.  Then, in iTunes, select File->Add Folder to Library and select where the music is stored. iTunes will re-add all of the music into your library.

  • Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"

    Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"
    I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page.  It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following:  "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  I click locate but do not know where to go from there?  I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it.  I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer.  What to do???  Any help is much appreciated!!!

    See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
    If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.

  • The song... Could not be used because the original file cannot be found....Any suggestions?

    I just got a new computer and I transfered all of my old music via an external hard drive to the new one.  All the music showed up in itunes fine so I deleted the old files.  Then I went to sync my iphone I got an error that said "The song... Could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Please help, this has happed to about 500 songs!

    You'll need to help iTunes locate the files for you then reacquaint your library with your files. Here are some articles that can help you:

  • Error: this song cannot be played because the original file cannot be found

    I recently purchased a new computer and restored my music to the new computer. Although all of my songs are being displayed in the itunes library only half will play. When I try to play the remaining songs I get a message that says "this song cannot be played because the original file cannot be found". I'm at a loss and need help because all of the songs are in the same folder.

    Hi
    I've pretty much got exactly the same problem. We've just replaced our old computer with a laptop and I've transferred my iTunes library over but I can't open almost all of my songs as "the original file couldn't be found." I've tried the "locate" prompt but that gives me so many different options, all to no avail. However, I have added a few new CDs since transferring the library to the laptop and they open up without any problems.
    Can anyone help? I've got to go through all of this again soon as my daughters both have ipods as well!

  • I recently bought the i pod touch 4 and noticed that not all of my songs transferred over-The songs that didn't, say original file cannot be found. What should I do?

    I recently bought the i pod touch 4 and noticed that not all of my songs transferred over from my i tunes library-The songs that didn't, say original file cannot be found, when clicked. What should I do? I tried using the tips on this site, but they weren't too helpful...I downloaded the songs from cd's and purchased them from i tunes.
    Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    I doubt that your music files are gone. Do a spotlight search and look for The Cure. What likely happened is that for whatever reason, your iTunes lost track of the location of your songs.. which happens on occasion.
    What you need to do is go to the folder where your music library is - where the song files are - and check to see if they are there. If so, then go into your iTunes preferences and in the 'Advanced' pane put in the location of the folder where it says 'iTunes Media folder location'. iTunes should then be able to 'see' the songs again.

  • I got a new PC and was able to get my list of tunes to show but will not play, message comes up "original file cannot be found, would like to locate"  I no longer have old PC but do have shuffle with all tunes

    I got a new PC and unable to get my tunes to play after I transfereed them over via a thumb drive.  The message I get is, "original file cannot be found, would you like to locate" and of course it cannot locate on this PC.  I no longer have that computer (gave  to mother in a different state).  I do have my shuffle that has all my tunes on it.  I have read several things on this website from using a third party device to transfer tunes from shuffle to de-authorizing old computer and authorizing this one.  No definitive instructions.  Please help.  I want to get these tunes to play and then buy new music.  Oh and the home sharing I believe is only if you still have original computer.
    Thanks

    The shuffle is not a backup device.
    Was the media actually moved from the old computer to the new computer? If not, how did you magically make the content appear on the new system?
    Use the backup of the old computer to put all the content on the new computer.

  • I'm finding that songs that I have imported to Itunes are suddenly showing with "Exclamation" marks and Itunes tells me that the original file cannot be found.  When I tell it to locate the file, it can't do it.

       I'm finding that songs that I have imported into Itunes and played before are suddenly showing an"Exclamation" mark and Itunes tells me that the original file cannot be found.  When I tell it to locate the file, it can't do it.  I went to the Itunes help for locating files, but that still won't do it.  It seems that somehow they are getting deleted, but not by me that I know of.
    Can anyone help me?

    Maybe you rename it. Somehow the path to the songs have changed if not deleted.
    In Finder go to "Macintosh/Users/username/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music" that's where all your songs located so if those songs are not there you get an exclamation mark. You can delete those entries in iTunes and re-import again.

  • Original file cannot be found for most music files, w/large external drive

    Hello.
    I am getting the error message "original file cannot be found" most times that I play a song in iTunes 6, though I am always able to locate the music file in my iTunes Music Folder. This is infuriating!
    My music collection is large -- 90.08 GB, and is on an external FireWire drive.
    Can somebody help me?

    mgallope,
    welcome to Discussions.
    Everytime you turn your ext hd off, iTunes reverts your library to its original location, which is within your mac HD.
    In order to locate the music files, turn your ext hd on, plug it into your mac and wait it be recognized in Finder. After that, open iTunes Preferences>Advanced and change the location of your library from the original location to the new one. Wait until iTunes reorganizes the library and try playing any song.
    Unfortunately, you´ll have to do this every time you shut your ext hd off.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Paulo

  • "Cannot open Help. The file cannot be found." Error on Treo Pro

    I can see a support item listed on my phone when I try to search the Help files, but when I click on that item, it gives me an error message, "Cannot oepn Help.  The file cannot be found."
    I am trying to block telemarketer calls, and it looks like there is a way to do it.  Two help references come up - "Setting Options for rejecting calls" and "Blocking Calls."  I just can't access them.
    Thanks in advance!

    From the Owners Guide http://www.palm.com/us/support/handbooks/treopro/t​reoproT850E_UG.pdf But I dont think its what your looking for.
    Setting options for rejecting a call  By default, when you reject an incoming
    call, the caller is sent to voicemail. You can
    change this setting so that, in addition to
    sending the caller to voicemail, a text
    message opens. This message contains
    default text and is addressed to the caller
    so that you can send the message right
    away. You can also change the default text
    of the message.
    1 Press Start and select Settings.2 On the Personal tab, select Phone .3 Select the Advanced tab.4 To turn on the text message feature, check the Reject call with text
    message box.
    5 (Optional) To change the content of the message, select the text in the box and
    enter the text you want.6 Press OK .
