  • Used migration assistant--cant find my music files now????

    I transfered all of my pictures from my old macbook to this one and found them, then I did the music from itunes and now I cannot find those files.
    I know they transferred because my hard drive has much less space. Where else can I look for these files? I even searched "itunes" and ".mp3" in the hard drive search box and it doesn't come up with any of my old music..any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    The files should be in /Users/your_name/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music - if you've changed usernames with the migration they are possibly in another User/name/Music folder ?
    The extensions are probably .m4a and if you use Finder/Find (or Apple F from the Desktop) you can search for them that way too.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 6 and cant find my music files

    I upgraded to version 6 today and afterwards almost all of my files give me the error message: file could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
    I lost a lot of music i purchased through iTunes and I dont know how to get it back, any help would be much appreciated.

    it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • All my music files that were in iTunes are gone!

    Just opened iTunes for the first time in a few days and everything in my music library is gone.  I have hundreds of songs, talks, etc. stored there, a collection going back ten years.  I am using a MacBook Pro running the latest version of Mavericks, 10.9.2.  Something updated yesterday or the day before and it didn't tell me what it was.  Looking at the history of updates all I see is a security update in the past couple of days.  Did that do something to my Music library?
    This is pretty serious as I can't replace some of the things that I had stored there.  I'm afraid to sync by iPhone or my iPad because the content they have will be wiped out.  I hope they are still stored on my computer.  I'll go look for the library now,  but wanted to get this out there in case there is a simple fix.
    I read the past day of two of posts here and don't see anyone else with this problem.
    Need some help please.

    Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder?  See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

  • Front Row cant find my music

    Hi,
    Im pretty new when it comes to Mac. Ive added all my music and downloaded some from IStore, but Front Row says that it cant find the music and that I need to either import it or buy it from Istore. But Ive done this and still it doesnt work.
    what can I do?
    /Henrik

    I too have found this. My sharing was already on. However, my issue relates to Audiobooks specifically. I get them from Audible.co.uk. I have a specific library for audiobooks and keep music in the standard iTunes folder and use the Alt key to choose the library when starting.
    In the audiobooks library I have set up playlists for different genres. This works in iTunes and on the iPod I use for the books, but not in Frontrow. In FR all my non protected books appear but the protected do not unless I go to the specific Audiobooks folder. They all appear and work fine, but that means I have to know who wrote the book in order to find the book I want. In a substantial library this is long winded. It would be better if I could just choose a custom playlist.
    Any ideas?

  • Forefox won't start in windows XP: I get the message that windows "cant' find the exe file" even when I click from the program file, rather than the shortcut.

    Delete the current Firefox shortcut on the desktop and create a new desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu on the Firefox.exe program (Send to > Desktop)

  • I cant find my music,that i already payed for.

    I cant find my music that i already payed for.

  • Cant open itunes, gives error message, cant locate my music file

    as above. i installed a new hdd and my music is now on there, on opening itunes i just get a window saying itunes is unable to locate or create the itunes folder located in my music. file is in there. followed a suggestion that i rename the file path in itunes bin file to new drive name using a text editor, no joy, uninstalled and loaded latest itunes and still the same. windows has sp2 and all updates. any ideas????

    no its a new internal hdd, though the fix may be the same? cant see why it would be different both run through the mobo just different conectors and a hdd with no operating system installed, which i,m guessing is the reason itunes cant find my music in windows on the c drive, cos it aint there!!!

  • Find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access, find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access

    I seem to have music files in various places on my laptop, on my husbands computer and our main imac.  What we want to do is put all music on imac so when each of us logs on we have the same files availabe in itunes, but we logon seperately so we can have different playlists and checked music. So here is what I want to do:
    Find all music files on each computer seperately and put everything in one folder one each computer, so three folders total to start...
    Move my husbands itunes library and my itunes library from each of our laptops to our main imac, making one huge itunes folder
    I want to store our music on an external hard drive, which I have, so I have a full library for backup purposes.
    I want all future music downloaded on any of our laptops to transfer to the main imac computer, again to keep one main library
    I want all video, apps, books, etc on each laptop to be available in one file on my main imac also so we can all use them
    So mainly I want to organize, organize, organize and put everything in one spot so things don't get all messed up and some items are only accessible to me some times and not my husband or vice versa.  We want to share everything we can so we don't have to pay twice. I have read many instuctions, but nothing seems to be helping me and was hoping someone could...
    Thanks, l

    I am totally running into the same issue as well. On top of that, when syncing to my iPhone, it took some of the tracks from my iphone and recopied them to the iTunes library, as new files, so now I have a ton of duplicates, and tons of tracks that can't find the iTunes folder, so they have the little "!" next to them.
    It would be really nice to have someone answer this question. I didn't think, moving my iTunes library to a bigger external hard drive would have caused all this madness

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • How do I find my music files in iCloud?

    How di I find my music files in iCloud?

    To Find your music You would Enter iTunes then do the following: Search for Quick links on the right> then Select Purchase> From there you can search for All Media that you have on iTunes, can all select  from the two options on the Right> All or Not on this Computer & then once you've selected your choice you can see what you have and what's not on your computer, but this only works for media you've purchases through iTunes. I hope this clears things up.

  • I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

    As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
    Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
    The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

  • Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos.  I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

    Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.
