ITunes doesn't work after update now! Says music files have been moved, would I like to locate them, then everything freezes.

I need some help! I've spent hundreds of dollars on iTunes music and suddenly every time I click the "play" button the entire service just freezes and stops responding. The only way I can even get to a play button that doesn't freeze is through the iTunes store. But at that point when I click "play", it tells me the song can't be played because the file isn't in its original location. It asks me if I'd like to locate it, and if I click yes, it brings me to a screen that I can't do anything with. Nice update. It was just fine until now. What can I do to get my music back???

"She says it doesn't work because the iPod is too old and Apple doesn't suport it any more."
She is wrong.
Since you do not mention what happens when you try it is hard to help.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Everything on the ipod came from your computer in the first place.  It should still be there and you should always have a backup copy.

  • What would cause itunes to say "music file has been moved or is missing" when no files were moved?

    What would cause iTunes to say: "The song “All Prayed Out” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" when the music library has not been moved or modified?  This is the case for many, but not all the songs in my library.

    But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
    Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

  • ITune doesn't work after updating to 6.0 - Help!

    I'm using Windows XP and I upgraded ITunes with 6.0. Since I did that I've lost everything, my original ITune program and Quick Time. The messages I get are: ITune has encountered a problem and needs to close, Quick Time failed to initialize - error 2095. I can't uninstall or reinstall the programs I've tryed. I even tryed going back and trying to restore my computer to an eariler date, to no avail. When going in to my documents I can find all the folders for these programs but can't get any to come up. Since I'm not that clever when it come to fixing or messing with the computer, I'm at a loss as to what to do.

  • ITunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6

    iTunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6. The white screen with gray tape above appears, and nothing more happens. Reinstalling/restoring iOS doesn't help. I have contacted support team in my country (Russia) by phone, but they could not solve the problem. Is there downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 available?

  • ITunes doesn't work after improper relocation of "My Music" folder

    I recently had the bright idea to move the My Music folder from the default C: location to D: which had much more GBs of space in hopes of making some programs run a little faster and more reliably. When attempting to open iTunes after the move it will not open and i received the message, "The folder 'iTunes' can not be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'Music' folder"
    Same situation on in the new location on my D: location. What should i do? I even tried moving the files back and iTunes is still unresponsive. How do i fix the situation without losing everything on my iPhone and iPod?

    Provided all your music was inside the iTunes Music/iTunes Media folder and you didn't rearrange things internally when you moved from one drive to the other then it should be easy. Click the icon to launch iTunes and *immediately press and hold down the SHIFT key*. You will be asked to choose or create a library. Click Choose and navigate to the iTunes folder wherever you have it now on C: or D:
    If most of your music was in the main My Music folder however then you will need to put everything back to exactly where it was before you started to get to the stage where your library will open properly. There are a number of different approaches to moving your content to another drive - which to use depends on whether you're happy to let iTunes organise everything or you like to retain manual control.
    If manage to open your library but it can't find your music then iTunes Folder Watch may be useful in helping determining just where iTunes thinks your music ought to be... Ideally move it back there rather than try to fix things one track at a time. Once iTunes is working and able to play your music we can move on to how best to move it to another drive.

  • "my novo-app" doesn't work after update to IOS7

    I got this game-app and after updating to IOS7 it won't start - the window opens for some seconds and then disappears. That's not amusing, because I bought this app in the store and gained a lot of "money" in it.
    Can anyone help me ?

  • Firefox won't open at all, and when I try to use the 'run' feature, it says the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can not lose my bookmarks. Help?

    Firefox has been working great on my computer for months, and then all the sudden it wouldn't load any pages. So naturally I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox wouldn't open at all. The icon glows for a bit like normal, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the 'run' command, I get this error:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
    I also tried the same for the file in the x86 folder but it gave the same error, and I went and looked for the files in the location given and they were there.
    Firefox didn't crash, so there aren't any other error messages I can give you.
    The things I had bookmarked are really important, I can not lose those, but other than that I'm fine with anything else needing to re-installed, etc.
    Help please?

    But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
