How do i get my itunes to find my music?

I am currently on a Macbook, and i have recently moved my itunes music folder onto an external hard drive so that i could save space on my laptop. Unfortunatly since i have done so i have been unable to play any of my music as itunes says i need to locate the folder. I have read lots of other discussions and for some reason nothing seems to help. so if someone could explain simply how to fix this that would be great! If there is a fast ay to locate my music without having to click on each individual file and locate the songs one by one that would be a massive help! thank you!

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.
Thanks!

  • How do i get my itunes back after transferring music to the itunes library?

    After my computer had a virus, I still had all my songs, applications, and podcast on the iPod. The problem is that I wanted to transfer the songs to the itunes library, but only the songs that I purchased are left ( everything else is gone). How do I get them back?

    It is impossible but if you have the CDs reload them on your computer. Purchased songs have to be repurchased
    Thanks please like

  • How do I get reinstalled itunes to reload my music in the itunes folder on drive D?

    I previously moved my itunes folder to D. I had to reinstall itunes and now I don't know how to get it to see my music and my old playlists. Thank you in advance for any help.    

    If depends on which method you used. If you moved your entire iTunes folder out to D: then you may need to hold down SHIFT as you start iTunes, click Choose and then browse to the folder containing the library database. If you only moved the media folder then your library will normally be in <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Is this the same machine you previously used iTunes on or have have moved the drive. Uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes should have any effect on the contents of your library. Perhaps this is the advice you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

  • How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    I successfully used migration assistant to transfer all my music from a Windows PC to my new Mac Air.  How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    msailar wrote:
    thanks for the hint Chris.  I took your meaning of the word "respind" as restarting my Air after the migration.
    Actually, it was "respond" (to this post).
    If you are not sure of anything below, post back before deleting anything.
    You can simply copy the items tin the migrated user to your current user account.
    Drag the Music folder, Pictures folder and Documents folder to /Users/Shared.
    Then log out of this user and log into your regular user account.
    Open 2 finder windows. On teh Finder icon in the dock, right click - New Finder window
    Open one to Users/Shared & the other to your user.
    On Shared, open Music and drag the contents to your user Music folder.
    Do the same for Pictures and Documents (into the same folders).
    After it finishes copying, open iTunes and everything should be there.
    You can then delete /Users/Shared/Music/ folder.
    Do the same for Pictures & Documents.
    After everything is copied and you are sure it's in your current user folder, go to System prefs > Users & Accounts and you can delete the new user that you did Migration Assistant with.

  • How can I get the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2?

    I Noticed that I don't have the iTunes app on my iPad Air 2. How do I get it? Cannot find it on App Store.

    Because it isn't there. The app is probably in a folder. Use Spotlight search to find it on the home screen, or check Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it restricted.

  • TS3212 how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

    how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

    Does the book show in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks for downloading, and the amount that's come off your card is the book's price, it's not a temporary store holding charge (which should disappear within a few days or so) ?
    If it doesn't show in Purchased then you could check to see if it shows in your Purchaes history so that you can use the 'report a problem' link from it : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If doesn't show there or the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
    For the card being declined, if it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support as above and see if they know why it's being declined.

  • How can I get my iTunes:FeedID - My email notification never came

    How can I get my iTunes:FeedID to use with my podcasts if my notification email never arrived (it may have been sent, but I've never seen it)? I don't see a place to look for it and it's not listed in my profile or my account on Apple.com. And surely there must be another way to get this number without relying on the vagaries of email.
    My podcast was submitted a few weeks ago and just to double check, I tried to submit it again and was told that it had already been submitted, so I know iTunes has it.
    I can't update my WordPress podcast blog to say I've created more podcasts if I don't have this number.
    Can someone tell me how I can find what this number is?
    Thanks so much.

  • How do I get my iTunes Store to work on my iPad?

    How do I get my iTunes Store to work on my iPad?

    Assuming that you mean that you can't connect to the iTunes Store ....
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
    Or try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    Or this ...
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or .....
    Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ....
    Reboot your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.

  • My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked.  I created a new gmail account.  How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.
