I redownloaded itunes and now computer says it can't find the file

I had to reload itunes, but now it doesn't recognize the music files I have on my computer. The message I get says " The song..........could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  When I press locate I can find the file, but when I click on the song it gives me the same message again.

You can use a program like Microsoft's "Autoruns" to investigate and modify what Windows is trying to do at startup. I agree that it's probably not a Firefox issue. If you have problems using Autoruns or interpreting the results, you could try a Windows XP forum like the following:

  • HT201272 I purchased the Killers new album and for some reason now my computer says it can't find the files. So I tried to download the album again off my iTunes acount but the cloud button won't appear. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

    My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • HT1222 When I try to install iTunes 10.7 it says it can't find the iTune64.msi file. I can't seem to find a replacement download for that file.

    I have ITunes installed on my PC which runs Windows Vista in support of my IPad.  When I try to install the update for ITunes 10.7 version, it says it can't find the "itunes64.msi" file.  How do I correct this, or where can I find a download for the itunes64.msi file?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I purchased songs  and they now have and exclamation point next to them and says it can't find the file.

    Many, many songs won't play that I have previously purchased from Itunes...They have an exclamation point and says the file is corrupt or has been moved, Ican locate the files, but they won't play...Will Itunes let me redownload at no charge or am I expected to pay again.  Why is this happening?

    I'm not sure if your account actually has to be connected to iCloud, but you can redownload previous purchases through it.
    This page details how to do that.
    If it turns out an iCloud account is required and yours isn't one, I'm sure you could connect your account to iCloud now and it'd work just fine. I know I had a few songs appear on my purchase list from long before I connected mine.

  • I just reinstalled iTunes and can't get it to open; error mesage says it can't find the files so without a program it won't even sync my phone.

  • Just installed OS X Snow Leopard, and now Photobooth says I can't use the old version (2.0.3). How do I get the new version?

    I just downloaded OS X Snow Leopard onto my early 2008 Macbook. I would like to be able to use Photobooth but it says I can not use this (2.0.3) version. How am I able to get an updated version??

    For now just reinstall the combo updater. If this does not install Photobooth, then you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard or:
    How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD.  However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
    How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive.  Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items.  Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
      A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
      B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in
           the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
      C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go
           to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
    Click on the  "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
              20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
    Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
      • Stop
      • Leave original alone
      • Update .....
      • Default selection
      • Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

  • 42 GB itunes library says it can't find the files

    My 1113 song 42 GB itunes library says " files could not be found " when I try to play any song
    yet it still shows that it's using 42.82 GB on my hard drive . Where is it hiding or is it just gone ?
    Does any one have an idea??

    On the HD is one thing.
    PROPERLY pointed to by the iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl files is another thing entirely.
    If you've renamed or moved your music folder, however slightly, the XML file will no longer recognize the "location" on your iTunes files. Then the Library.itl file is useless.
    Hold the Option key when you launch iTunes and re-select your library in its proper location.

  • When I open Firefox and try to open a new tab I get an error window which says "Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/9Úº%01˜%1Cm:ÙËÅȵ֯AÐóqÖ¬7F±éS¿W5." Is this a virus?

    I get multiple windows opening with this message. Sometimes as many as 8 or more. I first tried clearing my cache then I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the issue persists.
    I am using Trend Micro anti virus software with their latest updates and have run a complete scan. The program tells me I do not have a virus but I suspect I do. Can anyone give me any input on this?
    Thanks.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • 9i and 8.1.7: where can i find the file crdbSID.sql and crdb2SID.sql after installati

    The two files should be saved under the directory $ORACLE_ADMIN/<sid>/
    but i couldnot find them after installation. is that because i missed

    Are you sure that your table name is lower case
    Can you do the following commands in SQLPLUS

  • It says it can't find the jpegs, but is able to pass them to an app

    iPhoto displays thumbnails of my jpegs, and when double-clicked, correctly passes the location to the editing app. The strange thing is, after all that, a window pops up saying it can't find the files. Since the editor was able to locate the files based on the path iPhoto passed to it, why does it report that it can't find them.

    Well that's not good.
    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, faces and places 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.
