HT203167 How do I find music that disappeared after home sharing downloads.

I try to play a song from my list, and get an exclamation point, and the message: "The song “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I click LOCATE, and my finder comes up, but the music is not there. (I can, however, find the music I downloaded from the home sharing, just not my extensive library that was originally there.) Have read every article on finding lost music, but nothing helps. Anyone out there have ideas? Many thanks.

Hello Cindy,
It sounds like not all your purchases transferred to your computer before your restored your iPod touch. I found an article with some steps to download your past iTunes purchases. I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

Backup drive?
Subscribe to iTunes Match?
If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck. A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work. You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

How do I find music from Turkey?

how do I find music from Turkey?

I don't know of any easy way to search for Turkish music. All I can suggest is that you use the Browse feature (it's under the Quick Links on the home iTunes Store page) and browse the World section. Whether there's any Turkish music on the iTunes Store at all I don't know.

How can I access music that is now unavailable with iTunes 11?

How can I access music that is now unavailable with iTunes 11?

Many of the tunes have exclamation marks by them and iTunes says they "cannot be found". If I do a search throughout my computer I find the songs. But it is very inconvenient.

HT1351 How do i sync music that were in my documents, then opened into itunes onto my iphone!? ive been able to do this previously and now it simply wont do it!

How do i sync musics that was in my documents, then opened into my itunes?! ive been able to do this before but now i cant even find a sync button?

This is correct.
Ipod touch/iphone/ipad will sync with one and only one library/computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the curent content and replace with the content from the new comptuer.
This is the design of the product.

How do I get music that is in my Itunes folder, i.e. my own music that was not purchased from the Itunes store, on to my ipod?

How do i get music that i have put into my itunes folder, i.e. it was not purchased in itunes but from another source, onto my ipod?
I have looked at a number of different discussions and none have given me the solution.
I have recently had to do a restore and all the music that was once on the device was wiped.

Import the music into your iTunes library and sync like any other music.

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
Thomas

You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

In iTunes go to the Help menu in the upper menu bar. Then click on iTunes Help. Then on Sync your iPod, iPhone or iPad and follow the instructions.

Unfortunately, it's malware but easy to delete from the hard drive.
Run the removal tool here > The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Very easy to use, it's safe, and only takes a minute or two.

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond. How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums:
"Beautiful Life"
"Closer To The Sun"
"Just As I Am"
"Twenty Ten"
, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond so I can purchase the items thru iTunes.
How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

Guy's older albums have been on other countries' Itunes in the past. I don't know why they come and go. Guy keeps promising to spend more time overseas, releasing and promoting his music. I'm sure they'll all become available again then. You could import CDs, of course, but that becomes expensive. Online, Sanity and JBHiFi in Australia will mail overseas.

If the music was purchased from iTunes you may download it again, if not you will have to get it from your backup (if you have one)
