HT203167 I found my media files.  How do I get them back into my itunes library.  I have tried :add to library" and copy & paste but that didn't work.

I found my itunes songs marked with an exclamation point in the media file.  How do I move them back into the libary?  I have tried copying and pasting but that didn't work.  When I hit control, then click, there is no option "Put back"  as suggeseted in the apple supoort article.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • All the apps on my MacBook Pro have been transferred to the Trash.  Any idea how I might get them back into my iTunes?

    I recently noticed that all the apps stored on my MacBook Pro are now in the Trash. This is the computer from which I synch all my devices.  I'm not sure what I did to make that happen, but I'd like to transfer them back into my iTunes.  I have tried to drag and drop them back into iTunes, and I have tried to right-click them to see if there is a good option.  Any ideas?

    If the applications have got a IPA extension, they are apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. First of all, open iTunes and go to Applications to check that your applications are still there, because iTunes removes the old app version when it is updated, so you may have an old version in Trash. In this case, you can empty it.
    If not, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (in the menu bar) -> Go to Folder, and type:
    ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications
    When you are in the folder, open the Trash and move your apps to this folder.

  • Why does itunes randomly put my music in my trash and how can I get them back into my itunes music list? How can I prevent it from occurring again?

    Itunes has randomly placed some of my songs (it has done this a few times now. Not all of them but at times hundreds/thousands) in my trash and I don't know why this happens. How can I replace them back into my itunes music library? Is there a reason this is happening? What can I do so it doesn't happen again?

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • All my .psd files created in PSE were changed  to CS files--how can I get them back to PSE?

    Running PC, Win7, HP Pavilion dv7.  PSE6, CS4.
    I use both PSE6 and CS4 depending on the project.  I am very happy with both of these elderly versions and have no desire to change.
    Recently, all the projects (works in progress, .psd files) that I had created and saved using PSE suddenly converted themselves into CS4.  Literally.  I booted my computer and there were no more PSE projects.  (To see what was going on, I created a .psd file with PSE and saved it; it also saved itself as CS4.)  I can find no way to open them in PSE.  This isn't a crisis, obviously, since I can still open them in CS4.  But I prefer to work on these projects in PSE (that's why I used PSE to create them in the first place).  And it's impractical to go through a laborious process of opening in CS4 and then transferring everything to PSE, only to have it end up as CS4 again.
    The only change I have made: I downloaded and installed Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) updates, upgrading the PSE from v4.2 to v5.6, and upgrading CS to v5.7.  Both installed and function without difficulty.
    I will be very grateful for any advice/info that will allow me to work in the Photoshop program of my choice (PSE or CE), save and reopen in the same program.
    Update:
    The problem is half solved.  Somehow CS4 was made the default for .psd files.
    Unfortunately, it seems that for whatever reason, since this incident all .psd files must have the same default "Open with..." program.  If I select a PSE project and make PSE the default program to open that type of file all .psd projects--even those created and saved in CS4, show the PSE logo and open with PSE when clicked.
    So basically I have to decide which one I use more, then use the "Open with..." option for the other.  Which introduces a small but noticeable hiccup into the work flow.
    I'm still at a loss to understand how this happened.  Used to be that CS4 projects displayed a CS4 logo, and PSE projects displayed a PSE logo, and each would open in the correct program when clicked.
    Simple is better.

    "Not typical behavior". I think not. I am yet another person this happened to. Even if I can get them back, you've just wasted an hour or two of my time. I won't be using firefox again after I've recovered my bookmarks. If I recover them. Thanks for nothing.
