I have songs in my iTunes library that I burned from CD's. They play in iTunes and will sync with my iPad. They play fine on the iPad.  However, the songs will not sync to my iPhone 4S.  There are now exclamation points next to songs (can't find source).

I burned cd's in iTunes. The songs were able to sync and play on my iPad. After this, exclamation points appeared in iTunes on my laptop (unable to find source).  They still play in iTunes but will not sync with my iPhone 4S.  Do some cd's have a limit on the number of times you can copy them or is this an iTunes problem.

KiwiLouisa - I had the same problem.  I was eventually able to distribute my content that was "Not eligible for iCloud" to my iPhone by switching off ITunes Match in both the ITunes app/machine that hosts my library (my Macbook Pro, in this case) as well as on the device to which I wished to distribute my content (my iPhone 6+).  This opened up the option for my device iTunes Music settings for selecting "Entire Music Library".
After I successfully transferred *ALL* my music and music videos via iTunes sync, I then again switched on ITunes Match in iTunes on my Macbook and on my iPhone.
This does not change the iCloud status, but at least I have the content on my iPhone.

  • Moved library from PC to Mac w/ iPod now exclamation points next to songs

    I used the instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173 to move my iTunes library from a PC to my new MacBook Pro.
    Everything seemed to go smoothly...I moved the iTunes folder from the iPod to the Music folder on the Mac, then opened iTunes. Then something went wrong that I can tell will take me hours to fix. Or at least I hope not:
    The first time I did it, all the songs had the exclamation point next to them and when attempting to play, I got the 'file not found do you want to spend hours re-linking all the files?' message. I moved the iTunes folder and tried it again. This time, about 95% of the 1,100+ songs had the exclamation point. And as I clicked on the few without the exclamation point to try and play them, they too developed the exclamation point blues.
    Is this fixable? The .itl and .xml files are in the 'Music' folder. Should I try moving the iTunes folder from the iPod again? I also noticed that while my playlists and custom genre tags, etc. made it, the album artwork did not .
    Please help! Thanks so much!

    It is a likely possibility that the format of the folders is different between the 2 OS. Troubleshoot these
    Make sure you have actually music files in the folder from your XP. Make sure you transfered your main music folder (My Music)
    Do you have the folders in this order in your music category on your MacBook? iTunes>(iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library data file)iTunes Music>(all of your music
    If these dont work, then use Yamipod, a 3rd party utility that can extract all your info/music off your iPod into iTunes...

    My AppleTV only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's that I am pulling my hair out to figure out how to play them.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  Thanks

    Your music library needs to be in iTunes on a Mac or PC. In iTunes enable Home Sharing and you should see your music library and playlists on the Apple TV. Both the computer and ATV have to be on the same WiFi network.
    See the following page on Home Sharing.

  • Exclamation point next to song

    On every song in my library I have an exclamation point to the right of the songs and tv shows. When I click on it I can't play anything. It says file not found. Does anyone know how this happened? Help! Thanks

    I've had the same problem in the past. I've found that the only way to fix the problem, is to delete the songs with the exclamation point next to them from itunes and then re-add them to itunes. As for how this happens, I don't know. I'll do the same thing if a song I want on my ipod does transfer over.

  • How to I have one iTunes library that enables me to keep my music on my laptop, and my podcasts and audio books on a separately mapped hard drive?

    I'd like to enjoy ONE iTunes library on my laptop, which isn't big enough to store all my content, so I'd like my single iTunes library to have a LOCAL drive portion for my music, and then - when I'm at home, have my iTunes library be able to ALSO include a large library of podcasts & audio books.
    I currently have TWO iTunes libraries - a big one on a big drive at home, and a not-so-big on on my laptop.   This is, of course, a nightmare, because I have to resynch my iPod to use one or the other.    
    Ideally, I'd like to transfer content from my home PC iTunes OR my laptop iTunes - to my iPod and iPhone.     But I can only use one or the other library.     So, I guess the next best thing is - how to do this? - have an iTunes library on my laptop and then, when I have access to my home network, be able to see additional iTunes content - books and podcasts.    I need this in order to transfer books etc. to my iPod/iPhone, as well as music.
    Any suggestions?      In this regard - Windows is way the heck easier to manage than iTunes.
    thanks

    Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

  • Is there any way to get my old iTunes library that is saved on my Spotify into my new iTunes library?

    Best Buy screwed me and lost everything, so since my Spotify was linked through my Facebook when I re-installed Spotify it was all still there. So, I was wondering if there was any way to put my music back into my iTunes library? I tried authorizing it and that didn't help at all. I clearly know nothing about any of this.

    If I understand it correctly Spotify has indexed the media you like, and you can stream it again to the Spotify app on demand within the terms of your subscription. It won't give you access to downloadable copies of your tracks.
    If you have an Apple device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, otherwise see HT2519: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • HT203167 I have just installed itunes on my new comp. and searched for mp3 on the hard drive but it has not found all of them. There are 2000+ missing, is there any way to re-search the hard drive?

    Is there any way to re-search my hard drive for mp3s which have been missed on the initial search?

    If you've just moved the drive between systems then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows just in case that reveals the missing files. Apply to a single album folder first as a test. Otherwise, if you've not done too much with the drive since things went missing, an undelete tool might recover the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted that looks recoverable. Backup to another drive when you're done.

  • Exclamation point next to songs in iTunes & disappearing songs =[

    after downloading songs from iTunes, & uploading music from CDs, time will go by before an exclamation point symbol shows up on the left side in my library.
    once this symbol appears next to a song, i cant play it in iTunes. but i can still play it in my iPod =/ when i do try to play it, a box will pop up asking me "if i want to locate the file?" when i try, i cant find the file.
    now here comes the best part: not all but only certain songs with the exclamation point disappear from my iPod, but they're still in iTunes!
    if someone knows how to fix this, id greatly appreciate the help!!!

  • "Original file could not be found" - exclamation point next to song

    All of a sudden there are exclamation points in the very left hand column of the iTunes list next to some of the songs in my library. When I try to play these songs, it says "The song _ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    Why is this happening? How do I make it stop? Do I have to re-upload every song one by one from my hard drive? Ack!

    no idea why this happens, but the easiest way to solve this is to go to +edit/add folder+/ and find the folder in your itunes music files that contains the album and select it. you might now have duplicates, so just ctrl-select the songs with exclamation marks and you'll have only the ones you just reimported.

  • Exclamation Point Next to Songs!!!!!!

    hello All,
    Does anyone know why all of my albums in my ipod have an exclamation point by the 1st 2 or 3 songs? This is really weird. Please help.

    For some reason itunes may think that the file is deleted. Click on the exclamation mark and itunes will tell you that it cannot find the son. you then get the option of locating it on the file system

  • PLEASE HELP! Exclamation point next to songs that can "no longer be found"

    Here is the deal:
    I have Itunes 6 on my non-Mac computer. I saved about 1000 mp3s from CDs I had onto my hard drive. All of them appeared in my Library and I could play any of them by simply double clicking the entry.
    Now if I double click on SOME of these songs, an exclamation mark appears next to the listing and a message appears with this: "This song could not be played since the original file could not be found"...
    I then have to find it on my computer and import it again... the problem is that this affects about 25% of the songs in my library.
    Can anyone help?

    The first thing I would do is search for all your MP3 files. Bring up the search window (its in the main menu in XP). Select "Files and Folders", Put in the search string "*.mp3" and let it look through all hard drives. This will list all it finds and may take a few minutes to complete.
    Also, have you done the "Consolidate Library" function. This, I believe, will move all your MP3s to a central location ("My Documents\My Music\Itunes" ?) which might explain why your library cannot see them anymore.
