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.

You can browse his site to find where to put the downloaded script.
Good luck.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Is there an easy way to get itunes to find ALL my songs ?

After moving my itunes library to a new hard drive and consolidating it most of my 1000's of songs have an ! mark next to them, which means that itunes can't find that song, movie or tv show. I can individually click on each song, movie or tv show, and direct itunes where to find it and then it's fine, but it would take me the rest of my life to do that to everything I've got. I looked this issue up and found a couple of recent posts of the same question, but the solutions posted have in fact made the situation worse not better. The issue is with my iTunes on 1 hard drive 750gig on my G5 which is running itunes 7.4.2 and Mac OS 10.4.10. This is not a new problem as I have had this on my imac as well when I transferred music to it rather than downloading fresh from a cd.
I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks!
the solution I tried was to drag the library.xml from the itunes folder to the desktop and then open itunes and do file/import/choose and choose the library.xml on the desktop. After doing this I found that the songs I had loccated manually for itunes were now "Lost" again.

I run itunes from an external hard drive as I have too much itunes for my laptop! Part of my "back up" process is to always copy the "itunes library" and "itunes music library.xml" anytime after I buy/add music or change a playlist. Regardless of where your library is kept, those two documents on your hard drive in your music/itunes folder determine your library.
One time I had a hard drive failure and had to reinstall all my itunes stuff (I always back everything up to another hard drive and on dvd). I had not backed up since the last time I had purchased music/tv. When I dragged the two documents to my music folder on my hard drive, the most recent files didn't show up. They were in the music folder, but not appearing in the interface. I had to re-import them through itunes. No biggie. It was only a couple of files and I knew which ones weren't there.
Good luck!

How do I get itunes do find all my music?

iTunes cannot locate multiple files from my library; they have not moved or changed. How do I get itunes do find all my music again. There are over 15,000 songs in my library - about half have an exclamation mark in my playlists.

Hmm, not sure I understand how that might have happened. It seems as if the media folder has been pointed to the wrong level, put in a pre-iTunes 9 layout and then updated. All the <Artist> folders should be moved from iTunes to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Assuming iTunes moved the files around the filenames should be as expected. WMP, for example. might use different character substitutions for illegal characters and can user longer file and folder names. If anything remains broken FindTracks can take up the slack.

How can i find all included pictures which are not in a album? (only in the Library)

How can i find all included pictures which are not in a album? (only in the Library)

Hi there,
I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. All images are in your Library and only those you specifically select from that Library would be in an Album. What platform are you using? Revel Mac, Elements, web browser, etc?
Here is a link with some helpful information:

Thank you,

Need to find All Custom Reports which are based on SAP standard reports

Hi Specialists,
I would like to find out all the customized reports which are a copy of SAP standard reports in the client's system.
For Eg. RPCP11G0 is the SAP standard report which has been customized & it's code has been re-written into a Custom report i.e. ZGBPPYMP001_P11D.
I would like to know all such occurences in the system.
Steps already done:
1) Tried searching with RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN & RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN.
Please suggest .
Thanks
Abhinav.

it's only possible with an tool-program
when your developers have not change the line with the REPORT-command.
e.g.
standard-report is RAGITT01
copy is ZC_RAGITT01 or sth like this
but report line is unchanged in copy: "REPORT RAGITT01 MESSAGE-ID AB..."
solution:
select all reports from TRDIR/TADIR from your Z/Y-device classes
and analyse the reports with
read report ZC_RAGITT01 into wa.
and use find for searching 'report-command'.
and check whether the result of that finding is an standard abap
hope that helps

How to Get List of Webi Reports in CMS which are scheduled?

Dear Experts,
I want to generate list of Web Intelligence Report which are scheduled.
In addition to above, if I get destinations and in case BO Inbox of mail recipients, list of recipients we be an added advantage for me.
is there any way, I can achieve this using SDK or sum of that matter?
Any Clue / Suggestions will be a great help for me.
Thanks you,
Regards,
Sachin Dalal

You can use the following query:
Select * from ci_infoobjects where si_name='<webi report name>' and si_instance=1
This will return all scheduled instances in their default location for specified webi report.
For each object you can retrieve:
((IProperties)((IProperties)oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo().properties().getProperty("SI_DESTINATIONS").getValue()).getProperty("1").getValue()).getProperty("SI_PROGID).getValue().toString : returns managed for instances scheduled to enterprise user's inbox.
((IProperties)((IProperties)((IProperties)((IProperties)oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo().properties().getProperty("SI_DESTINATIONS").getValue()).getProperty("1").getValue()).getProperty("SI_DESTSCHEDULEOPTIONS").getValue()).getProperty("SI_OUTPUT_FILES").getValue()).getProperty("1").getValue() -> returns the integer value of the SI_ID of the user where the report is scheduled in the user's inbox.
Query for the instance in the query builder and you can see the structure for SI_DESTINATIONS property bag.
Hope this help.

I transferred my music to a larger hard drive and when I went to sync to iTunes there half my library had a '!' next to the songs. After I located one song the question 'would you like itunes to find other missing files' came up. What does this mean?

I recently transferred my music from one external hard drive to another and when I went to sync it to iTunes half my music had a '!' symbol on the left side, which meant that the songs weren't located. When I went to locate one of the songs it asked me if I wanted iTunes to find other missing files, which I said yes. What happens next and what is iTunes doing to find the missing files?

iTunes is a database. When you import songs to the database, it records the location of that song, so that when you play, or sync the song iTunes knows where to look for it.
When you moved your music to a different location, iTunes can't find it because you didn't tell iTunes that you moved the music.
You'll have to re-add those songs that you moved to your itunes library. Your best bet is going to be to delete all the songs in your library and then go to File > Add folder to library > and then find your music folder on the new external hard drive.
Also, the external drive HAS to be connected in order for iTunes to find it.

I've moved my iTunes media to a new drive, how do I get iTunes to find it. I'm using Windows 7

Hi,
I've moved my iTunes media to my 'spare' internal D Drive, following the instructions on this link:(I'm using Windows 7).
Move your iTunes Media folder on a Windows PC - Apple Support
I hit a problem at stage 11 when I had to move my original media file to the recycle bin. The process started then it stopped, saying that the file was too big for the recycle bin (54 GB or thereabouts). It then asked if I wanted to permanently delete the files instead. I said yes. (I have them backed up externally).
The iTunes media file is in my D Drive, but I can't get iTunes to locate it. I've tried going through preferences/advanced and browsing to it but that does't seem to work.
My media is all listed in iTunes, but on the cloud rather than on my hard drive (C). Downloading it all from the cloud would defeat the object of freeing space on my primary hard drive (C).
Any ideas on how I could get iTunes to find the files on D Drive ?
many thanks,
Matt

See Make a split library portable. With luck you should be able to move the iTunes folder to the D: drive, place the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to D:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. If all goes well it should be as if you'd moved the entire iTunes folder as a unit in the first place.

I cannot get itunes to sync all of my songs to my iphone. Itunes tells me that it cannot locate the files for these songs. How do I fix this?

When I attempt to sync my i phone with itunes on my computer not all of the songs make it to my phone. Itunes is telling me that it cannot find the files for these songs. How do I fix this?

Hi fishonfoot,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to use this article as a guide to determine if the songs are on your computer:

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

I am going to restore my Macbook Pro to it's factory condition. In iTunes I have renamed a lot of my songs. Last time I cleaned off my mac and restored my music I had to rename all those songs again. How do I get itunes to remember all of those names?

I am going to restore my Macbook Pro to it's factory condition. I do this every once in a while because it seems to improve performance. I backup everything to an external drive and then I restore only what I want from my backup drive. In iTunes I have renamed a lot of my songs. Last time I cleaned off my mac and restored/reloaded my music I had to rename all those songs again. It took me about 2 weeks to reorganize my music. How do I get iTunes to remember all of those names and keep everything exactly the same when I restore/reload the music into iTunes?

It may seem like it does but it really doesn't.
Just delete stuff you don't want.

Use Time Machine, backup everything, do the reinstall (I recommend you don't do it) then restore your user folder with Time Machine.

How do I get itunes to recognize all of the music in my library. I backed up the library for 24.95 and not all of it went into the backed up library?

How do you get Itunes to recognize all the music in your library when you buy the backup in the cloud? Alot of my music was not backed up. These are songs I burned off my CD collection. Itunes Match did not recognize them either?

*What am I doing wrong?*
You moved it to the server.
You should let iTunes do it.
Point iTunes prefs to the new location.
Menu Advanced -> Consolidate library.

How do I get a list of all missing files in a catalog in LR2?

Is there an easy way to get a list of all missing files for the thumbnails in Lr2? I know the symbol that appears in the upper right corner of any particular photo that is missing its file, but how can I get a list of all such photos for an entire catalog (or at least big chunks of a catalog).
Thanks.

You can right click a folder and choose Synchronise - it has a Show Missing Files buttom.
