Hello ppleanswers,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you want to see the exclamation marks to let you know that what files are missing, The following article will guide you if you are on and Mac, if you are on Windows, then to link below the Mac article will take care of you

Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.” Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.

How to sync an iPhone with iTunes 12?

How to sync an iPhone with iTunes 12?
i downloaded today iTunes 12 and i wanted now to sync my iPhone with it... but i'm lost. i cannot find my iPhone on iTunes 12. How to sync it?

OK. So when you plug it in, what happens?
When I plug in my iPhone, along the top row of icons, a new one appears in the shape of a phone. If I click on that, I get a sidebar with info on my phone and to the right is information similar to what I'd see in previous versions of iTunes. I have it set up to sync when connected, so the sync starts immediately.
(Edit...)
Here's the icon that I get when I plug the phone in:

HT5114 how to sync iphone info to itune and how to recover info from itune?

How to sync the phone with Itunes, and how to recover the info?
Can someone advise me?

What sort of info do you want to get off the phone ? If it's iTunes purchases then you should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
If it's music from other sources then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Syncing a device with your computer's iTunes will copy content to the phone from your computer, it won't copy things back from the phone.
If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you may find this user-tip helpful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How do i rename tracks in itunes in a imac?

am new imac owner, previously had a PC and used right-click to rename tracks where itunes wasn't able to get track details when uploading CD's - how do i do this on the imac? also how do i get album art work? please don't judge me for ignorance Apple lovers......i have seen the light, i have converted, i just need a little help.....

You can use Get Info for a selected song - with a song selected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Get Info - the keyboard shortcut for this will be available next to the Get Info selection.
iTunes includes an option to check for album artwork for songs that don't have it, or search the web and download your own which can be added via the Get Info function for a selected song. The last tab for the various selections is the artwork - it can be added there.

I got a new computer, downloading iTunes and I need to know how to sync the iPod with itunes so I don't lose songs.

Can you tell me how to sync my iPOD with my new computer. I downloaded iTunes but the library is different.

HT2953 how to join audiobook tracks in iTunes 11

Since there's no Advanced tab in iTunes 11, I can't figure out how to join audiobook tracks into one. I am trying to add an audiobook to iTunes so I can transfer it to my iPod. For instance, each Disc has 10 different tracks. I used to be able to click on the Advanced tab and then click Join and the tracks would be combined into one. I don't see any option for doing that now. Thanks for any help.

Just found the answer on another thread. Answer was from j5Garcia:
You have to select the tracks to join then go to options I have been joining tracks with no issues. It took me a bit to figure out but I find it easier to join tracks than before since its right on the screen and you no longer have to go to the the toolbar.
If i could figure out how to take a screen shot I would post it.

I can't sync imported tracks from iTunes to iPhone5

Using iTunes 11, upgraded to iOS 7 on iPhone 5. Yesterday I imported 11 mp3 tracks into iTunes from an audio file. They appear in iTunes, but the do not sync to my phone. The are not unchecked and I'm at a complete loss as to what could possibly be going on.

I have this issue too! However it only appeared yesterday.
I am a dance teacher and use my phone for all my class playlists. Earlier in the week I uploaded a couple of my Christmas class playlists fine, however last night I was unable to upload my list at all and ended up having to drag my laptop out with me in order to work!
I have tried turning both phone and laptop off, I have since loaded the lastest version of Ios 8.1.2 which doesn't appear to have done anything. And now I have seen a whole heap of issues in a similar vein encountered by other people.
I appreciate that I am using an old phone (iPhone 4s) but I had not changed anything prior to this issue appearing last night. I did encounter it briefly some months ago... and vaguely remember sorting it by checking the names of all the music styles that I wanted to have appear on my iPhone, but that seems a very long-winded way of ensuring that my playlists are updated.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

IPod 160GB does not sync all tracks in iTunes

I recently bought an iPod Classic (160GB). I had loaded about 8000 tracks for my 60GB iPod. I loaded another 1148 tracks and tried to sync my 160GB iPod. Out of 9148 tracks, it will only sync 8414 tracks. Why does it stop at 8414?

It's possible you have 20 duplicates, that is files with same track no, track name, album & artist. Either iTunes doesn't copy the duplicates or the duplicate effectively overwrites the original in the iPod's library. In contast iTunes can import different files with the same details and can even occasionaly end up with more than one entry for the same file.

How to sync Iphone with new itunes library?

I used to sync my iphone with itunes on my macbook.
My macbbok was lost, and i got a new macbook.
Now when i try to sync with the new itunes libaray, it prpompts that it will delete my exisiting data on my phone, This would mean losing all my contacts, and text messages etc.
Is there a way i can sync to a new itunes library without losing my data?
thanks
nazmul

Sorry to hear about your macbook.
Others have reported that if you have at least on contact and calendar entry on your new computer when you sync, then it will not erase you iphone, it will simply merge the two. While that makes perfect sense, I have not tried it myself.
As for the texts, I don;t think you can get those back.
Music can only be synced to one library at a time, so the music will be gone. However, in Itunes you can "transfer purchases," at least putting your itunes purchased music on your computer.
It is always a good idea to have a backup. I use an external hard drive. Then you will have a complete backup if anything happens to your computer.
Good luck. I hope it works out.
