ITunes cannot locate my songs suddenly...it wants me to show it where each song is individualy. Otherwise, I cannot listen. It unchecked all the songs and when I rechecked them I filled with exclaimation points. I do have some songs but I dont know why.

The "!" show up when the song file or iTunes music folder is moved or manipulated in some manner, such as changing the folders location to a different drive. By any chance, did you do something like that?

My son got a new iPod and we created an account for him as a new user on my computer.
I've been having the same trouble ever since. My songs are disappearing & I get the exclamation point.
My son's library has disappeared completely and iTunes tries to reinstall every time we switch to his user name.
Did you do something similar? How do we fix this?

Well, it has been doing this randomly for some music that I have not touched or changed. In this instance I normally drop music I have put onto my computer in "my music" and then I take it to ITunes and drop it in. This most recent time I dropped into the "ITunes library" because I thought that this would help eliminate the issue of things getting lost. That made everything disappear. Luckily, I do have all of my music still in "my music" but i dont want to reapply ALL of the songs and if I cleared and started over I would be missing things. Is it fixable?

Have you tried the "add folder" function in iTunes to re-import back into iTunes? Sort of a mass re-import. Also, is there some reason specifically why you aren't ripping directly into iTunes, if that is what you are primarily using to manage your music?
Lastly, you have your OS listed as Windows ME. Are you sure because iTunes isn't compatible with ME?

I am having this same problem! Sorry for jumping in on your post. I recently moved all my music files (not the library file) to an external drive becuase i need more space for my music. now half of my library has these question marks. I dont want to lose my ratings or anything else. Is there a way to batch "original file can not be found"? Thanks Irene

reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.
why didn't you reply?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

My wife was given a 5s and she sent her 4s to her daughter in Thailand to use. The problem is the 4s needs to have the imei number unlocked. We need assistance on how that can be done. We are long time Verizon customers.

Your daughter will have to send it back to you. You will have to reactivate it on you line. You will then have to request to have it unlocked. See THIS thread for more information.

"Your session has timed out,try again." is the message I get every time I try to purchase a song on itunes. My last purchase was June 11, 2011, and nothing has changed since then.

"Your session has timed out, try again." is the message I get every time I try to purchase a song. My last purchase was june of this year, and nothing has changed since then.

I had this problem, but it was because I was clicking on an external link. Try instead going straight into iTunes, then going to the Podcast section. At the bottom of the "Podcast Quick Links" section, there's a text, "Submit a Podcast." Click on this instead. Once I did, I got to the same page as before, but it did process the feed.
Good luck!

HT1414 I had my ipod touch off and when I tried to turn it off the best I could get was the apple logo than that went out. I can't get it come on at all. It was working fine earlier and nothing has happen to it.

I tried to turn on my ipod touch and the best I could get was the apple logo and even that went out. I tried charging it with no luck. It had charge yesterday when I turned it off but now I can't get anything at all. Any suggestions???

If the reset does not work try the remaining items:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I want to reply to iCloud email but it did not provide any email address. Anyone has their email? I signed in for Support Chat, it said wait 2 min. but I was waiting for 10 and nothing come up?

I want to update my payment information but it keeps saying my security code is invalid and my payment method was declined. However, I got a short message from my bank saying the charge by Apple was successful? How could it be if the payment information was invalid?

Hey TapBkk,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Since it says your security code is invalid, take a look at this article:

Help was given bad advice and now device inst working

Was told by another user on here to change the confreg to 0x800 so i tried it i entered
confreg 0x800
reset
After the device did that i started getting random jiberish like the baud rate is wrong on the console. and i cant read anything or do anything now. Help how do i fix this issue?

We do not know what platform this is on, but as you have discovered changing the config registry to 0x800 produced unexpected results. I believe that Leo is on the right track that part of the solution could be to change the speed specified by your terminal emulator to match what has been set on the device. If 115200 does not get it to work I would suggest starting with your emulator set to 1200, and try all of the speeds (2400, 4800, 9600 etc) till you find the one that works.

I was given an iphone4 and it wont let me set up. i asked the person that gave it to me for the apple id info and she says she doesnt have it. i setup an apple id so i could use it and i still cant use the phone.

It says its linked to an apple Id and to login with it but the person I got the phone from doesn't know it.

You have run into Activation Lock and you will not be able to activate that iPhone without clearing it. Why doesn't the person who gave you the phone know that information?

I was given a nano and need to set up name and sync under me; how do I do this, undoing the link to the person I got it from?

I am currently looking at the manual under syncing with itunes, step 2 and it does not pull up for me to automatically to be able to put my info in so I am assuming it is using prior users.

Hello Jenamin,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning restoring devices:

I was given this iPad and it wont let me register it.

My used Ipad won't let me register it, it says it's already registered. How can I past this she has a new on and gave me this is.

The iPad is Activation Locked, as described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
Check this section of the above article to see what you (and the previous owner) need to do:
What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

I was given an ipad and cant get passed the activation id and the owner is not available

i cannot get the activation id from the previous owner

Sorry, but you can't use that iPad. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure; Apple won't unlock that device for you.
