Itunes unable to locate music

after much itunes drama and loosing much of my music, I finally got it all make into my itunes library by moving my finals from my ipod back to it. now I tried to sync my ipod again and it says all of the music cannot be located. any idea how i can get it back again or is it now gone for good?

The most common cause of iTunes loosing links with the songs, is moving them around in the Finder.
If you don't move songs around, repair the disk using Disk Utility. If there are errors found, that could be the cause.
To repair the startup volume, you have to run disk Utility from the first OS X install CD/DVD.

  • ITunes unable to locate music files saved on external drive

    Hi all,
    This is proabably something incredibly simple but my iTunes was installed on to my laptop wih music added till my memory was all used up.
    So I bought an external drive, and re-added all my music saving it to the external drive, my iTunes however remained installed directly on my laptop.
    This worked fine initially as long as my external drive was selected in the Preferences section of my Itunes, but recently all my albums are available but it says that Itunes is unable to locate the files, even though none of them have been lost or deleted from the external drive.
    Ive tried everything I can think of - does anyone know how to rectify this?
    Thanks....

    I switched computers and tried to reload all my backed up itunes files. It loaded the files fine the first time. After I logged off the files disappeared from my Itunes. Apple tech told me to add itunes folder to library. It worked fine until i logged off again. I tried it several times because my files never stayed on itunes. Finnaly I added two new CD's into my library and I went to file Libray and I entered consolidated Library. This brought everything I had before and then some to my itunes library. I logged off, shutdown and even hibernated and my files still remain. I was able to create playlist, my movies, podcast, there all there. Hope this helps.

  • ITunes Unable to Locate Music File

    I have a few hundred songs in iTunes that have been loaded over the years. Their source is CD's and iTunes. Tonight on an airplane, I was listening and noticed that I had red circles with red squares inside of them next to song titles. When I selected these, they were not available. This happened more and more as i selected different songs, eventually I was left with just a handful of songs. Immediately when I got home, I snyched to my computer and it said that there were items unable to synch because iTunes was unable to locate the original file. (it did restore a few but still over 100+ missing files). The titles are still listed.
    However, I am unable to play any song in itunes on my computer. Just on my iPhone. When i ask it to loacte it directs me to a catroot file from 2009???
    I have not added or removfed songs in weeks and it has been working fine (iPhone and computer) for months.Any help in finding these files or restoring them would be appreciated.

    Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library, and navigate to the folder containing the music.

  • I Tunes unable to locate music ?

    I have just spent 7 hours updating our i-Tunes account. I successfully deleted the extra copies of tracks,located missing files,updated the library and then backed up the whole of i-Tunes.
    I then backed up the whole I-Mac to an external drive and was busy patting myself on the back for an excellent job when I thought I would just check and see everything opened properly after a shut down. I didnt.
    When i opened i-Tunes I could see all my albums,all the artwork,all the playlists, all the music files perfectly organised as I had left them.
    BUT when I clicked on a tune to listen to it, i-Tunes gave me a mesage saying i-Tunes was unable to locate the music file ? I followed the link path to where the music was stored, user\music\ i-Tunes\ i-Tunes media etc and there was all the music as I had left it ??
    When I clicked on any file in i-Tunes it could find it, but when I click on the media folder with the music in it opens i-Tunes up perfectly and plays my tune. I've tried emptying the whole i-Tunes library and then restoring it from i-Tunes folder but I get multiple copies of the allbums, missing artwork, missing files, some albums have one or two tunes missing and some are completely duplicated, e.g. I can see two copies of each track in the album..........I cant believe it ! why is i-Tunes so frustrating ? all I want it to be able to see one copy of each track on each album and keep it that way.
    Is it something to do with my library ? is that corrupted ? should I delete the library and create a new one ? how do I do that ? How, (once I've got it back to how I want it) do I save everything and ensure it doesn't go reading something corrupt again. This is a nightmare...HELP

    The exclamation mark for missing files is shown if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. Changing the path to the media folder won't fix the links to files you've moved by hand.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. I would suggest you untick Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized before you start so that things don't have to move around as they are repaired.

  • Itunes unable to locate zeppelin remote speakers

    We have just purchased a wireless zeppelin speaker and my itunes is unable to locate devices, I have followed instructions within preferences set up - how do I access devices menu to add a new device?

    The exclamation marks (and the accompanying note) inidicate the files aren't located where iTunes expects them to be.
    This most often happens when the files have been deleted or moved to a different location than where iTunes expects them to be.
    If the files are still on your computer but have been moved, the best solution is to get them back where they were in the first place. iTunes will be able to find them again - happy ending.
    It can also happen if the files have been renamed in which case changing the name back to what it was in the first place is the way to go.
    Sometimes though, it seems iTunes loses track of files for no apparent reason. In that case, other than telling iTunes where they are on a one by one basis, your only other option is to start with a new iTunes library. Regrettably, this method will lose your playlists and related information (Ratings, Play Counts, Dates Last Played, etc.).
    If that's not a deal-breaker for you, delete the current entries in your Library by highlighting them - iTunes Edit menu > Select All - and then right-clicking > Delete . You are removing the entries from your Library but keeping the files themselves in your iTunes Music folder, or wheresoever they happen to be stored.
    You can then add them back into your Library by selecting the iTunes Music folder in Windows Explorer and dragging it into the Library entry in the iTunes Source List (left-hand column). Reference this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.

  • IPod says unable to locate music video question

    Big time newbie here to the whole iPod thing. I bought the touch for my wife for Christmas and I'm trying to load it up with some stuff before I give it to her. I bought a music video on iTunes and when I sync and try to load it I get a message that says "unable to locate video". I look in the iTunes folder and I can see it there. I restarted the iPod and the computer and still got the same message. I can watch the video on my computer via the iTunes player. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    If you backed it to iTunes you should be good with all the pictures, videos, etc. and they are still here. However there isn't really any way to retrieve them without the use of 3rd party software. Sorry for your loss

  • ITunes unable to locate my music

    iTunes has been periodically doing this weird thing: it loses track of my music. The music files are on my computer, their names appear in iTunes, but when I click on some songs a window pops up that says "The song "blah blah blah" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?". Then I locate the song and it plays just fine. But every now and then I have to help my computer re-locate all my music, which is really annoying and takes a lot of time. Is there something I can do to avoid this from happening?

  • ITunes not loading - "Unable to locate Music Folder"

    Guys,
    Having huge problems - I decided to move all my iTunes purchases and music onto a portable device, changing the location path from the C:\ drive to H:\ drive. Since I carried this out - everytime I try and load iTunes I get this error message:-
    "The folder "i Tunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.
    The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
    I have totally wiped the pc of iTunes, re-downloaded from iTunes website and re-installed everything but I am still having this error message appear!. I need help..............
    Leon.

    Have had the same problem starting abruptly a few days ago without any new computer software or updates on a WIndows XP Media Edition computer. Troubleshooting including removing and reinstalling all Apple software did not work. Seemed to be a user - specific issue but the Apple provided trouble shooting removing preference files and plugins did not work. The same error message as above occurs.
    I will try the SHIFT-OPEN iTUNES solution and see what happens. If the same error message recurs I will try to contact Apple directly.

  • ITunes can't locate music I have stored in the iCloud

    I am experiencing the following problem. In iTunes some of my "songs" have an exclamation point beside them even though they are stored in the cloud. I see the dialog box that asks if I want to locate the music and I have found if I hit the cancel button, the music suddenly has a cloud icon and starts to play. This is weird, and I'd love to know how to fix this.
    Thanks

    Yes, you are correct. The songs are only stored in the iCloud. Which is what I want. I don't want to have all my library sitting on my iMac and in iCloud. Am I missing something?
    There are plenty of songs on my hard drive with the iCloud symbol and they play without a problem. I also have some songs sitting on my hard drive. And they aren't a problem. THE PROBLEM is the tracks that have the exclamation mark and will play from the iCloud after I press "Cancel" in the "Locate" dialog box. I hope I'm explaining this clearly....

  • ITunes can't locate music files

    Any music that was copied into my iTunes music folder cannot be located. Anytime that I try to play the file from iTunes, it shows an error message, requests that I locate the file, and then proceeds to tell me that I need to format my hard drive. When I try to open my iTunes music folder directly, my computer freezes and then after 10 minutes informs me that my hard drive needs to be formatted. I never had this problem until I downloaded the new version of iTunes. This is only going on with music I have copied into my iTunes folder, which is all the CDs I have or had. Many of these CDs I no longer physically have. I have tried to use a previous iTunes library to fix the problem. I have also moved my preferences files to the desktop as suggested in another thread, but neither have worked. I am not having any other problems with my computer that would encourage me to format my hard drive besides this issue. I would appreciate any help possible with this predicament.

  • ITunes can't locate music files THAT I CAN

    Last night, when I opened iTunes, each song I clicked on gave me a "!" next to it, followed by this message:
    "The song XYZ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    Well, I know exactly where the song is, which is where all the songs are and have been for some time on my LaCie external drive. They are, in fact, still there. When I go to a music file through the Finder and double-click the file name, it plays--through iTunes--and is recognized by iTunes thereafter. I could do this for all 2,500 songs, but I have a life to live in the next three to four years.
    Why is this happening and, more importantly, what can be done about it?

    this can also happen anytime the external drive is not available... i have 1/2 my library on an external drive and whenever the power goes out in my neighborhood, iTunes temporarilly looses the link to the external drive... my neighborhood was built in the 1920s, and the power goes out many times a year... i use an old powerbook for my iTunes computer, which i keep plugged into my stereo... when the power hiccups, the external drive goes down, but the powerbook continues on it's battery... if iTunes or the external drive get too confused by going up and down, then i just powercycle the external drive and reboot my powerbook and everything has normally gone back to normal... the power issues are part of the reason i wanted to keep as much as i could on the internal powerbook drive... and i keep everything backed up...
    anyway, i'll try you suggestion for the "option" on launch... i had to replace my external drive which finally died (from 2001)... so now i need to relink the files back to iTunes, hopefully not manually since i have about 2500 files to fix... i did copy all the files from the internal disc to the new external drive and merged the libraries, then tried using the iTunes preferences to point to the folder in the external drive... but that didn't work in my case... it still sees 1/2 of the files still in the internal drive and still has "!" for all the files on the external drive...
    for tlee61, this makes me wonder if you might not need to check the iTunes preferences to see where it is looking for your files. if you set it up to store all files on the external disc, and it is set up to copy in the files to the iTunes library, then that option in the preference file for the library location might have gotten changed inadvertently... if you have iTunes set up to NOT copy in the files, and your files are in random locations on the external drive, that may be much harder to solve... i'm not positive of the best approach... i think there may be an option for iTunes to search the drives for music, like when someone installs/runs iTunes for the 1st time... but i'm not sure, off the top of my head, how to trigger that... i may be looking for that option if i can't seem to figure out another way to relink my files... but i'm afraid that it will try to either copy everything from the external drive to the internal drive, where there is no more space, or that it will try to copy the files on the internal drive to the external drive, where i've already merged the files (and eliminated some duplications)...
    i very much want to keep all the metadata... so i'm hesitent to experiment blindly too much since i don't want to do something that "imports" all the songs, but looses all the metadata... in my case, it would be easier to relink the files manually than attempt to recreate all the metadata...
    if i find a solution besides just manually relinking files, i'll let you know...
    i expect there is a way to solve this...
    luck to us both-

  • ITunes unable to locate my songs

    Recently iTunes has struggled to find my music. It is on my hard drive (the same place it has always been). There are 3,000 tunes out of my 20,000 it can't find, although when I click on locate, I can manually find them where they are expected to be and then itunes starts playing the song.
    Is there anyway to sort this out without going through all 3,000 tunes individually?

    I'm having similar trouble, in the OS X 10.6.5 iteration of (latest; I did check for updates) iTunes 10.
    Same symptom: iTunes opens to library on a USB drive fine, w/ playlists and everything, but any song I click on, from a playlist OR Library-Music, iTunes tells me iTunes 'can't find the original file', and shows me a Locate and Cancel button.
    I can browse to a song (in iTunes-iTunes Music-<Some Band>-song and when clicked on, it plays. It won't play the next song in the (purported) playlist, so if I choose another song in iTunes, gotta browse for it again. Ad infinitum.
    Podcasts and Movies appear unaffected.
    Rebooted, relaunched w/ (OPTION)-iTunes; I can point iTunes to my USB drive/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml, and iTunes appears to like that --but same symptom persists.
    There's an iTunes/iTunes Library.xml on my HD and all that --but, I successfully launch to the USB drive. Which I wholesale copied the iTunes folder to, when I moved from one Mac to another (same patch-levels, same program iterations) and, all this worked up until, what? Three nights ago?
    This issue has merit. I have a Genius Bar appt. tomorrow, but meanwhile, I looked here, found this discussion.
    Apple Jedi's: any takers here????
