Itunes don't find some files after close the application

I have a local network. I have decided to share my music from a share server samba on Linux to my laptop on XP , my macbook , and my Imac.
I have made this solution because have many problems to share the music on my Imac between users.
The libary sharing music is not synchronise during the time. I explain : If i import a cd to Itunes on My imac, my wife don't have the music. ( security problems I thinck). ITunes is on Public and the acess is granted for users.
I was admin Unix system
I don' t wanted to copy the files on the Itmusic on each users.
The other solution is the linux server samba sharing a directory Itunes_share. I have made a directory Itunes Music and put all the files mp3 and podcast.
the share is good by selinux and the group is Itunes
After that Itunes has recreated the share database. The system is right.
But tomorrow, I has lost the songs on the interface. When I click on the song , I have a !
The problem is the same on Windows XP
After the migration for Iphone 2.0, song with ! apparears.
Just yesterday, i have access Itunes with the user, and i can hear song with ! . The files have on disk but ITunes don't find after closing the aplication.
Also , I has note that the lenght of the string is cast . And you have 2 files for the same files.
Just the name is different. ie : the lenght is 14 caracters the other is 16 caracteres
The problem is current
I thinck that is a bug of Itunes

I have unterstand the problems.
You have two reason that itunes don't find the files.
1) if the share is forward networking, the lost of share can be a good reason
Itunes changed preference to the default localisation of your files in preference
2) share the same files by two different libary of two computer or user differents
I think that Itunes made a lock in the syntaxe

ITunes can't locate some files after HD swap

I've just transferred my files from an old external HD, to a new one. these files included some music from my iTunes Library. this is a hassle - but i've got my music split up into two parts on my internal drive, and the rest on an external drive...
I suspected this maybe a problem - but i've renamed the new external HD to have exactly the same volume name as the old one - i thought that this would keep iTunes working fine. i have some of my songs that are on the external HD working fine - iTunes didn't have a problem with them. but others that are on the external HD get the "!" next to them - and the old "original file cannot be found" message.
I am sure that the files are in there... i just added them to my iTunes Library after i'd moved then to my old external HD. then i had to move everything to the new external HD. i have manually located some of the songs.. and they're right in the same location as they were when i added them. this is strange...
I also tried moving the iTunes Library and the .xml file out of ~/Music/iTunes/ folder, then started up iTunes again (resulting in an empty library). then i tried to Import that .xml file - but i got the error:
"Some of the songs in the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" were not imported because they could not be found."
I opened up the .xml file in TextEdit and it lists the full path to each song. so i'm thinking - if somehow there's any differences or errors in the path names, i could use the "find & replace" function of TextEdit to fix it... well i'll keep working on it. i was wondering if anyone here knows what's happening? especially regarding why some songs on that external HD would still play fine in iTunes, and other "can't be found".
and sorry for the long post - i hope i've explained this properly. just ask if you're a bit confused. :P
EDIT>>
okay - i think i've found my problem...
i had re-named my old drive, after i changed the name of my new drive to what the old drive previously was, so i didn't get confused. but i must have opened up iTunes along the way somewhere... i've checked the .xml file and some of the file paths have the name from my old, re-named HD. i've been doing a find and replace in TextEdit - so hopefully that will fix it all.

There is a better way to do this: use the File > Add To Library command. But first you should open iTunes Prefs > Advanced and deselect the "copy files to iTunes Music folder..." option and the "keep iTunes music folder organize" option.
After you have done this use the Add To Library command to get iTunes to recognize your music again.

Can't find some files after changing drive name

I keep all my music files on an external drive, and my iTunes folder (and iTunes Music folder) on the internal drive. After changing the name of the external drive, a good number of files (not all, and probably not even most, but a lot) couldn't be found by iTunes.
I'm suspecting that this problem results from having my files stored externally and separate from the internal default iTunes Music folder, but I'm hoping someone can give me some more details about this and hopefully help find a solution. Thanks.

In the root of the filesystem there normally is a folder "lost+found", in which files with strange names are found. These are the files cvfsck has collected in the recovering of the filesystemnames. It is sometimes not possible to recover the original file name and location. So this is the only way for cvfsck to give them back.
If you think the content of these files is allright, you can rename and relocate them.

ITunes can't find existing files after upgrading HDD

What the subject says - I have a 2008 Mac Pro & iTunes 10.6.3. I just upgraded the HDD where iTunes lives, by copying the entire drive to the new one, then installing the new one in the same bay as the old one. Whenever I open iTunes, a few of my +/- 6K tracks show the (?). This happens to different tracks each time I open iTunes.
It's a pita to re-locate these every time I access iTunes. Is there any way to correct this problem without trashing all my playlists, album art, ratings, etc?
Pls help! It's taken a long time to build this library and I'd rather not have to start all over. I still need to edit then add about 40 LP vinyl albums to the library, and I don't want to continue adding them until this problem is solved.

Sorry. Found the answer myself. DUH! I needed to tell iTunes preferences that the iTunes folder was on the NEW HDD rather than the old one.

Can .air installer some files together with the application?

I have an installer.air that is created by Adobe Flash. I have another file called settings.cfg which is needed for my application to run. How do let the computer auto install settings.cfg into the installation directory together with the application when i run installer.air? Currently, I need to manually place the settings.cfg into the application installed directory.

YAY Thanks, kglad.

ITunes can't find some songs after update

So I've read a bit about this and it's happened to me now. I did the recent iTunes upgrade and now random song files can't be found. The " ! "shows up here and there. Now when I search for that particular song, I can find and play it. It's just that maybe it was renamed or something? I cannot manually do this since I have almost 40,000 songs on a separate HD. 99% ripped from my CD collection.
Why or how does this happen? I've been adding to my iTunes HD for 7 years or so and this was the first time this has happened.
Anyway I read a few suggestions and so I just deleted all the music from itunes BUT saved the files and now adding all of them back which will probably take 10-15 hours. It says "organizing files" wil it's a very long haul.
Will this work and will iTunes then again know where all of my songs are?

Well I researched and had to "delete" the 40,000 songs from my itunes list BUT saved the files. It took 20 hours for them to repair and then were fixed in one place with no "!" What a pain.

DVD SP can't find some files-won't start

When I try to open a major DVD SP 3 project, which worked last week, DVD SP states that it cannot find some files and that the project cannot open without them: "The movie file "Sequence 1-FIN-00000005" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." I have to Force Quit DVD SP and cannot open the project. Other files complained about include 1-FIN-0000003b
Since I last opened the project, one of my external Firewire hard drives has failed - it will not switch on or run up or mount. That HD contained the scratch for FCE from which the movies (.mov) files for the DVD SP project were created.
Could it be that some of the movies that DVD SP can't find are Reference Movies which rely on a Sequence in one of the FCE projects on the faulty disc, which would explain whey DVD SP can't find them?
If so, how do I recover from this? The originating FCE scratch disc is lost, being on the failed HD. How can I force DVD SP to open the DVD SP project and THEN complain? That would allow me to delete the missing movies, recapture the shots from my camera into FCE, run the FCE project (which is on my internal HD), output the movies again but as stand-alone movies, and reinsert them in DVD SP's Assets and rescue the project. As it is, I cannot even identify the movies that DVD SP complains about
Help! A serious problem.

SOLVED! I can now get the project to upen by tricking DVD SP into finding that the files are MISSING rather than that they are REFERENCE MOVIES which cannot find their "parent" Final Cut Sequence. Here's how:
Examine all the QT movies that the troublesome DVD SP project needs acces to (they will be in your Media folder). Open each movie and if QuickTime can't display any of them by reporting that it cannot find a file called something like "Abcde - FIN-0000008", that means that the movie is a reference movie, which means that it depends on the Sequence in your Final Cut project file which created that reference movie. That is perhaps because the Final Cut project file or its sequence has been deleted; or (in my case) the relevant Capture Scratch hard drive is kaput.
For each such reference QT file, add an "x" (or something) to the file name in your media folder. (A clue about which QT files are reference movies is an unexpectedly small file size.) Changing the file names like that will result in DVD SP failing to find any trace of them them, one after the other, but this time it will continue to open the DVD SP project file until it displays a box listing the missing file names. Press "Continue" and the DVD SP project file will complete the opening process. In other words, DVD SP will refuse to open a project that needs REFERENCE movies which lack their parent sequences, but will eventually open a project with MISSING OR WRONGLY NAMED movies. You should then re-create the movies as non-reference ones, perhaps after re-creating your Final Cut project or re-capturing the shots from your camera.
This is an important discovery for anyone who has inadvertently created reference movies and lost his/her Final Cut Project File or Capture Scratch. Without it, you will loose your DVD SP project and many earlier versions of it. So, never check the box called "Make reference movie" when creating a movie from Final cut.
Whew!
However, I think that it is bad programming on Apple's part to create a situation when a file has to be abandoned unecessarily like that. DVD SP should treat orphan reference movies like it treats missing movies and just complain and get on with the job of opening. It's like my car refusing to move for ever more because, just once, a door wasn't properly shut!
I can't think why I did not keep a backup external HD for my Capture Scratch. I've got one now!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible because I had them as hidden but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

If the filename starts with a dot (.thisfile), then it will be hidden on the Mac.
You can use a 3rd party App, such as EasyFind to search for the file on your Mac, and then re-name (remove the dot)

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem " This has been going on for several days, I've had to go back IE to access web pages

When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.

Working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser

working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser when i came back on working on bootstrap my computer started hanging and opning new tabs and showing message " A caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close thoe program and notify you if solution is available"

Hi Geetha,
1.) button problem:
i don't know how you open the form - when you do it with a XML file maybe you packed the wrong XML file into your addon installer.
2.) the flickering can be a problem of formatted searches or interacting with other addons.
when addon a. changes a field it can be that addon b. does something because of the event from addon a.
the same can happen when you have formatted searches that do something when a field changes.
ok - that are my last tipps for this day
good night

ITunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?

iTunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
iTunes 10.5.3 64bit

I've had this problem on my Windows XP for years. it's been around, unsolved, or no solutions in these forums.
It keeps reminding me why Apple will never be the primary office computer company. Anyone running a business cannot have software running that will not behave, won't shut down, or behaves without any explanation, and this problem has no explanation, or solution that I can find except to use task manager to kill the process and only use iTunes when I'm expecting to shut down or kill the process.
