HT5085 I can not find my purchased movies and music

I did a file clean up and after that I was not able to play music or watch movies.
the message I get when I click on movies or music is can not be used because original
file is not found. would you like to locate file. when I click to locate file, the message I Get is file not found.

What did you 'clean up' ? It sounds like you deleted your music and films from your computer - since doing it have you emptied your computer's recycle bin/trashcan, or are some/all of your music and/or films still in it so that you can put them back ?
If not then you might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases - what you will be able to redownload will depend upon whether you've moved countries since buying them (you can't potentially redownload another country's purchases unless you return to the country), and whether the rights-holder has removed them from the store. What you can redownload will show via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If you still have the item listed in the Music / Movies part of your library then iTunes will assume that you still have them somewhere and won't show the cloud against them in Purchased for redownloading - you will need to delete those entries (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message when trying to play them) from your library for the cloud icon to show against them in Purchased.

How can I restore my purchased games and music from a external hdd backup?

Hi!
I have formatted my iPod and reinstalled Windows. Before doing that, I have made a copy of my entire iTunes folder on a external hard drive. Now I cannot restore my games by simply copying (my thought) "iPod Games Library.itl" file and "iPod Games" folder into the new iTunes folder under my Music. With the music I didn't trid because I dont't have much space right now.
In my purchase history I see I cannot re-download stuff.. Only "report a problem"/"done".
I know that a better option for backup would have been a CD backup from iTunes, but now I cannot go back in time to do it.
So, could you help me, please?

I would try opening itunes using a blank library and try this - just drag one game (one with the ipg file extension) into v8 and see if it shows up under applications.
Don't sync your ipod to it, though - you'll probably lose all game info/stats by doing this. This is just a test to see if itunes can see the file as an ipod game.

HT201272 How do I find my purchased audiobooks?

I bought The lord of the rings dramatised audiobook just before my iphone decided to get wet and stop working. I managed to get my purchased films and music from icloud but there doesn't seem to be a purchased audiobooks section. I really don't want to have to re-purchase it but I am in the middle and was enjoying it. Does anyone know where to find it?

Audiobooks are curerntly a one-time only download. If you haven't got a copy of it on your computer and/or on a backup then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

TS1474 I can't find previously purchased audiobooks on my computer, these downloads ar older than 90 days.

I have no clue what you mean. If you downloaded the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer or of you transferred the audiobooks from the iPad to iTunes via the transfer purchases feature, the books should be in your iTunes library,
If you are looking to download them again in the purchased section of iTunes, you have to buy them again. Audiobooks cannot be downloaded again for free. They are not part of iTunes in the cloud.

Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

You can view the full purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
On an iOS device you can only view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?

Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?
Thanks anyone!

Just reinstall. Unless something's seriously wrong with your computer, you won't lose any content or settings. Of course it's always wise to have a backup before you make any changes to your computer.
Might I ask what problem you're experiencing that you think will be corrected by reinstalling iTunes?
Regards.

HT201272 Why can't I play a Shakespears Sisters music from Hormonally Yours that I purchased years ago?

Why can't I play a shakespear sisters music from hormonally yours. I have authourized my computer and but it keeps asking to authorize, it also says my passowrd is wrong.

Was that new device used with a different AppleID recently?

HT201272 how can I download previoulsy purchased audiobooks?

I am trying to download a previously purchased audiobook but I can't find the way to do it.

If you buy an audiobook on CD you'll find it needs some effort to get it organized to play on Apple device. See Audiobooks on iPod for details.
Audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store should be packaged as a single chapterized file that works better on Apple devices. At the present time you are only allowed one download of any audiobook, but you can backup those files just as you would any other.
Even though you can repeat download certain purchased content you should really backup your iTunes library regularly to avoid having to redo any work you've put into organizing your library along with ratings, playlists, and any media you can't download again. For a suggested strategy see this user tip.

Installed Itunes & Can't find my purchase music, is there a hole in my PC

I can't find some tv episodes and music that i purchased.

I've followed the HELP instructions to check iTunes Media nad Purchased areas but I can not find some thigns that I purchased. They appear with an exclmation point in front of them. Can anyone help me find them?

Hey there,
If you know what music is not showing up on your iPod, find it in your iTunes library. Right-click the song or group of songs you know are not showing up on the iPod under Artists and choose +Get Info+ from the Menu. Once that window pops up, make sure there is NO check mark next to Compilation. Hope this helps. Let me know.

Imported photo's from computer, via Itunes, to iphone, now itunes can't find the folder with original pictures from Iphone or doesn't recognize it.

Dear reader,
i just bought a new Iphone 5s, and decided to download Itunes and sync my Iphone with my laptop. Everyting went well until i decided to try out some things and i imported pictures via Itunes from laptop to Iphone. this is how i did it: Itunes - iphone - pictures - pictures synchronized from 'option choose map' - I chose another map - after, i 'ticked' box 'all maps'. Then i hit the button 'synchronize'. I forgot to look how the orignal map was called and this was the one Itunes syncronised autmatically with, that one also contaned all the original pictures on my Iphone. So, after putting some new photo's on my Iphone, i wanted to change the settings back to normal so my Itunes and Iphone could sync iphone pictures again. But I can't find the old map back or Itunes doesn't recognize the map. I already tried to use the map 'Ipod Photo Cache' but it shows only empty folders. I also tried computer - iphone - Internal storage or DCIM or 860OKMZO; No idea what that means but i thought that the last two folders can contain pictures. However, i get an error if select these ones a map in Itunes. How do I get back to the old settings again?
I hope I described the problem well; English is not my native language so i'm sure this might contain grammar mistakes.
A big 'thank you' for helping me in advance!

When i connected the iphone to my laptop, i found the location of the pictures on the iphone; the a map called '860OKMZO' (i've mentioned this map earlier, this folder is located inside the folder DCIM). But if i try to open it with Itunes, this error comes up: 'foldername is invalid'. I figured that Itunes could have saved the synchronised pictures in another map somewhere else but i've found nothing...

ITunes can't find my external hard drive music

Hello, our computer crashed recently and I have restored Windows Vista and iTunes. All of our music is stored on an external hard drive (drive I). There is a main "iTunes music" folder, and then there are a ton of folders in there that are named by music artist. I went to iTunes and changed the preferences to the I drive iTunes music folder, but it will not import the music. If I go to "computer" and open the individual songs, they will play on iTunes. Please tell me I don't have to go in and click on every single song; there are thousands of them. How do I get my songs back in the iTunes library? Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm sorry, I don't have an answer, just to be clear immediately, but I do have the same problem and I'm looking for an answer as well.
Because of a problem with the computer I had to re-install everything yesterday. Also my music is on a separate disk, not on the computer itself. I forgot to save or copy the separate iTunes-library-document, because I never use the bloody file, I only use iTunes and sometimes I copy something from the G:\-drive (with the yellow folders with the names of the artists) to the H:\-drive to back-up my music.
So my music is all there, all 60 days of music, so a h e l l of a lot, but I don't know how to get to open everything as one big action, instead of one by one which will be weeks of work. To be clear: because of the re-installment I downloaded iTunes again. The music is for sure on the G:\-drive.
I googled my problem of course, but then problems turn up like people who don't know how to install music on their iPod and stuff, but that's not what my problem is.
Just like Lauren & Mikes mom I changed in 'Preferences' the C:\-drive (the computer says C:-drive automatically) to the G:\-drive, but no action was undertaken by the computer. Of course I tried it several times. In vain.
I don't understand why I can't find the solution by googling this problem. I'm sure Lauren & Mike's mom and I aren't the only ones having this problem...
Thanks in advance for an answer.
