How to find more missing songs

I recently upgraded from G5 to Macbook, and transfered my music to the Macbook iTunes 9.2.1 and also transfered over my playlists.
I just went to play a playlist and some tracks were missing and had an exclamation point beside them.
I checked in the iTunes music folder on the Macbook, and there were indeed gone.
I've re-copied them over from the G5
but now I'm wondering
1) How can I find out which other songs are missing? The exclamation point only appeared why I tried to play the songs, it didn't tell me they were missing till I tried to play them.
2) Why would the songs be missing??
Thanks for your help

you could try this script:
_*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.
another option is this one:
_*iTunes Track CPR v1.3*_
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

    Not sure about a function, but you could create your own function and use this logic.
    REPORT  zrich_0001.
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ttab,
           number TYPE i,
           END OF ttab.
    DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF ttab.
    DATA: wa LIKE LINE OF itab.
    DATA: tmp LIKE LINE OF itab.
    DATA: diff TYPE i.
    DATA: rows TYPE i.
    DATA: low_number TYPE i.
    DATA: high_number TYPE i.
    DATA: tmp_number TYPE i.
    * Build an internal table with all the numbers
    wa-number = 50.  APPEND wa TO itab.
    DO 50 TIMES.
      wa-number = wa-number + 1.  APPEND wa TO itab.
    ENDDO.
    * Create some missing numbers in the table
    DELETE itab WHERE number = 63.
    DELETE itab WHERE number = 64.
    DELETE itab WHERE number = 65.
    DELETE itab WHERE number = 79.
    sort itab ASCENDING .
    * find the low value.
    clear wa.
    READ TABLE itab INTO wa INDEX 1.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      low_number = wa-number.
    ENDIF.
    * Get the high value
    rows = LINES( itab ).
    clear wa.
    READ TABLE itab INTO wa INDEX rows.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      high_number = wa-number.
    ENDIF.
    * Now find the missing numbers.
    tmp_number = low_number.
    DO.
      IF tmp_number = high_number.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      READ TABLE itab INTO wa with key number = tmp_number.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        WRITE:/ tmp_number.
      ENDIF.
      tmp_number = tmp_number + 1.
    ENDDO.

    Bought and Album and one song is missing after itunes froze  cant see how to dowload the missing song as it says Purchased
    Pls Help  Best and Kind Regards

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if it shows under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunee. If it shows there but doesn't have the clpud symbol against it for redownloading then is that track listed in the Music part of your library i.e. where you would click on it to play it ? If it is then delete it from there and it should then get the cloud symbol against it in Purchased.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com . iTunes Support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours.
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work 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, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How to get iTunes to find all missing songs which are in the library

    iTunes keeps telling me it can't find around 150 songs and I have to manually point it to each folder - it offers to use location to find other missing tracks but that only works for songs in the same album folder, not other artists/albums. Is there something I can do to find all songs at once?

    Hi,
    Try Doug's Applescripts for iTunes, he has one for finding missing songs.
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=listmias
    You can browse his site to find where to put the downloaded script.
    Good luck.

  • How to find a specific song?

    I am looking for the song "To Sir With Love" by Lulu with the group The Mindbenders. My problem is that apparently there are two versions? And when I listen to the samples I can't tell if it's has the lyrics I'm looking for. I want the version which is sung in the movie which includes the line Those awkward years... Does anyone know how to find a specific version of a song? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Search the iTunes Store for "to sir, with love"
    One of the songs will contain in the title (from the Columbia movie.....

  • How to find out missing macbook pro

    My macbook Pro missing yesterday, how to find?

    Did you buy the machine new or used, if it's new it's almost certainly a mid 2010 machine. Take a look at System Profiler (Applications-Utilities-System Profiler) then highlight Graphics/Displays on the left and let us know what the Chipset Model is. If it's a mid 2010 it will say it's a NVIDIA GeForce 320M.

    If you have the laptop, you can install and run CPU HWMonitor which will show all internal components.
    If you don't have the laptop, you should call Lenovo sales/customer care in Egypt.

  • How to find the missing fonts while running the script?

    hi,
    I need to create a script to find the missing font. not only for that. Actually i created a script to read the file properties. but i have a problem while running the script.
    I have put "User Interation Level" to never interact. Even i need to check wheather each file have "missing fonts". mean time i never stop the script.
    Is It Possible???
    Regards,
    SubhaOviya

    Here's a shot of the Find Font Dialog:
    Papyrus (highlighted in the list) is missing, and there's a yellow warning triangle to show that. Fonts that ar not missing have an icon to show the type of font. You'll also see it shown as missing in the "Info" box at the bottom of the dialog.
    If you use the Replace With dropdown you will only see fonts listed that are installed on the system. In order to actually use the missing font, rather than substitute a different font in its place, you must obtain and install the missing font on the system.
    Are you seeing something different when you open Find Font?

  • How do I relocate missing songs that were originally put onto my iTunes from a CD?

    Obviously I can't just navigate through my folders on my pc as the missing tracks were put into my iTunes via multiple CDs. How (without re-importing all my CD's) do I relocate all my songs/albums.
    Thanks
    Tom

    It all depends on why they are lost and whether you have any form of backup or device that might hold them. It might help to identify which files are lost to iTunes which you can do with this set of playlists:
    Lost & Found playlists
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Follow my instructions from the first post with a single missing file. 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. It will begin file://localhost and end with the filename. Search your entire computer for that filename. If it can be found then where it is might explain why they went missing and how they might be recovered. If it can't be found at all, you could try a few more. Failing that at least you know from the Lost playlist what CDs you need to rerip.

  • How to find out what songs I deleted – from a playlist?

    Hi all, random question...
    I have have been culling music from the "Songs" section my iTunes and sending them to the Trash.
    HOWEVER the songs that are on one of my playlists, "My Favorites", I really wanted to keep. There were about 200 songs on the playlist and after I finished culling music, I discovered that I had 180 and had accidentally sent about 20 songs to the Trash that I shouldn't have. Argh.
    Is there any way to retrive a copy of that playlist from Time Machine, or something, and see which songs I deleted from that playlist. And then drag those 20 songs back from the Trash? I don't want to drag back all the songs I trashed – just the 20 that were part of that playlist.
    Any ideas???

    I would also recommend leaving the shot on the iphone untouched (downloaded to a PC is ok). There is EXIF information encoded inside the image that records the iphone's date/time (this is in addition to the file system information that the other poster I beleive is referring to). It is also changeable, though one needs more expertise to do so. The reason I recommend leaving it there is some techniques of getting shots off of cameras (i.e. phones) may remove that info or alter it.
    But how does the date/time matter -- clearly the event had occurred, how will a shot after it occurred indicate which came first, your care or her's?
