Importing audio book cd, cannot find file

I have imported numerous cds and books before now, so am familiar with it. I got a couple new ones and iTunes does not pull this one automatically like the others, so I used the add folder to library. It now shows up in the library, but if the cd is not in the drive, it shows the exclamation point and says file not found. I dont know what to do.
Thanks!

Put the CD in the drive. In itunes, right-click and choose "Show in Windows Explorer".
Is it where you expect it to be?
You could also delete it from itunes and re-rip it.

  • I bought an audio book and cannot find it anywhere, I bought an audio book and cannot find it anywhere

    I just purchased an audio book and cannot find in in my iBooks or when I go back into iTunes it's no longer available for download. Under recent purchases it's not there. When I look at my iBook all the other books I have bought are there but not the Dale Carnegie book

    So I searched other similar questions and found that going to music, then audiobooks, my new book was there. Any suggestions on how to get it to my phone now?

  • How do you import audio books so they are like the ones you buy from itunes

    how do you import audio books so they are like the ones you buy from itunes?

    There are a number of tools for merging the files into one. Personally I don't bother, but you'll find links on my page which describes how to manage Audiobooks on iPods.

  • If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

    If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

    If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
    But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
    Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

  • Import audio book to itunes but it won't sync to my ipod

    I am at a complete loss. I have been importing audio books from the public library to itunes and then putting them on my ipod for months. All of a sudden the books won't sync to my ipod. Songs work ok, but my audio books don't. The little sync icon spins and the itunes screen says it is updating but it only lasts for a few seconds and the book is not on my ipod. I have done everything I can think of including restoring my ipod back to the original settings which lost everything. I don't know what else to do.

    Might you find the answer here?

  • "cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

    Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
    Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
    But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

    The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
    That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
    I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
    Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
    Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
    It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
    Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
    Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
    In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

  • Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?"

    We recorded a song yesterday and saved it as properly as the other sessions we also recorded. Today I want to open it, but it always says "Cannot find file #01, do you want to search?" But I've got the problem only with one file, the other songs are ok.
    The odd thing is: the file is there, also the tracks in the file and the recordings in the tracks appear. But the music inside the recordings is gone. Also the media file is empty. I'm quite desperate and my band will kill me. Can anybody help?

    Did you move the songs to the current folder AFTER you added them to iTunes? Sounds like you did. Big mistake. You may just have to delete you library and re-import them from the current folder. Once you've done that, leave the files where they are. iTunes can't track where you're moving your music to from one place to the next.

  • Cannot sync photos-says cannot find file, will not sync

    eveytime I try to sync, when it gets to photos, iTunes has an error window with no code that says "Cannot find file, cannot sync" Everthing else backs up and syncs except photos. My husband uses the same mac and he can sync just fine, no errors.

    For iPhoto the link said:
    If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture album, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
    From the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu.
    Once there, open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.)  If you have moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location in Finder first.
    Control-click the iPhoto Library or Aperture Library file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
    In the next window, locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and drag it to the Trash. Important: Do not remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
    Close the Finder window.
    Are you doing step 3?  You can also right click and select Show Package Contents.  It works both ways for me.  I just tried it.

  • None of the links in my TOC or INDEX work. Cannot find file is the error message.

    The files are on a networked drive. Win7. FM 8. I've renamed files. Regenerated. Created a new book. Nothing works.
    I do have hyphens and underscores in the file names but no other special characters.
    Need help urgently.
    The error message is:
    Cannot find file named
      \SOL\Data\TechDocs\DRAFT\Shiva\OperatorManual\096-0461-001C-1.
                 fm.
                 Make sure that the file exists.
    Note that the TOC and INDEX are listed in the book w/o a path while the body chapter has the entire path (above) listed in the book view.
    Thanks

    IIRC, FM8 had an issue with a path having more than 5 (or 6?) sub-folders. Try bringing the files up a few levels or create a mapped network drive down to the lower levels.

  • Need to Import Audio Books at higher sample rates in iTunes 8

    Folks,
    In iTunes 7, I could import audio books at 32k mono and they would sound good (after all, it's just someone reading - doesn't need stereo or high sample rate). However, in iTunes 8, for 32k the sound crackles and is distorted. Quality is OK at 64k mono but obviously now the files are twice as big. Am I right in slating the blame to iTunes 8? Is there some way I can use iTunes 7 encoding?

    I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't try it. To get a non-crackled 32kb mono AAC you have to:
    - Select the AAC Encoder's "Custom..." from the drop-down
    - Change the (stereo) bit rate to 64kbps
    - Leave sample rate on auto
    - Change channels to mono
    - (And most importantly) keep the "optimize for voice" box UNchecked
    I tested it several times with different audiobook CDs and settings and it seems that the voice optimization causes mono tracks of any bit rate to be garbled and crackle. Hope that helps!
    (And I'm pretty sure OS 10.5.6 is out. Check your Software Update under the Apple menu.)

  • Spotlight and finder cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

    Spotlight and search field in Outlook on MacBoon cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

    Reinstall on both.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
    Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.
         Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings.

  • I photo freezes under 'cannot find file'

    When I open iphoto it works fine for a few seconds but then it freezes and says 'cannot find file .........'
    I then have to force quit because it says it's 'not responding'
    I don't know why the files have gone from iphoto because I can still find them if I search for them and they seem to be in the correct place.
    For the moment I cannot use iphoto at all so please help!
    Thanks
    Chloe

    Chloe
    When it says that it cannot find a file, does it mention the file types?
    Some other things to try:
    Rebuild the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • System cannot find file specified during install officejet 6500

    I started my HP solution center software today to do some scanning over my wireless connection.  I received a message box indicating I needed to reinstall the original software that came with my OfficeJet 6500 wireless 709n printer.  when I started the software it recieved the message 'system cannot find file specified'.  No information was given on what file it was looking for.  I then downloaded the software from the HP site (OJ_AIO_6500_E709_Full_Win_WW_140_408.exe) and encountered the same result.  I hookup up my printer via USB and it appeared to go looking for driver updates.  After that the HP solution center software would run but would only connect to my printer if the USB was connected.  Still cannot run the printer software set.
    I recently upgraded my windows 8 64-bit to window 8.1.  It worked before that.  This is not the only software that was broken by the process.  Any help on how I can re-establish my wireless connection to my Officejet 6500 would be appreciated.  
    I also tried the Microsoft 'Fixit' solutions but they are not available for windows 8.1 :-)...

    Hello All,
    Try using the scrubber built into the CD or download.
    From original CD installation:
    1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer.
    2. Open  "Computer", and then right click on the CD drive and choose open.
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. Run the L3uninstall.exe (near the bottom of the list).
    6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    7. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    8. Restart the computer.
    9. Download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard.
    10. When it comes to the screen asking to accept the terms, don't yet. There will be a few options near the top of the Window. I need you to choose "Connection settings" or "Internet connection usage settings" (It will be something similar to what I just stated). It will give you the options to turn off automatic updates, I will need you to change all of these options to "Off" / "No".
    11. Once they're set to "Off" / "No", continue with the installation like you did before.
    If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
    1. Type %temp% in the run field
    2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. Run the L3uninstall.exe (near the bottom of the list).

    Also, make sure all of the Windows Updates have been completed.
    Let me know if this works.
    Thank you,
