Locating souce file error? and purchase history deleted for some reason?

I have purchased serveral albums (nearly $500 estimated), and since I upgraded my computer, I cannot find the purchase history. I wanted to re-download the songs from a certain artist as it keeps coming up 'error, unable to locate source file' even though they worked before I tried to copy them into a playlist for burning.have severa
After I got the new computer, all of my stuff was transferred from the old one. This meant that I had several of the same song in my list before the update. After the update happened, these duplicates dissappeared, and I was left with trying to re-download the albums that I had bought from iTunes store from the cloud.
I had confirmation of one album being downloaded correctly, the rest need to be re-downloaded. Unfortunatley, as I cannot access my purchasing history, I am unable to download the rest from the cloud.
The support network wants a serial number and the only apple product I have is my shuffle. When I give the serial number for my shuffle, it then wants $20 in order to troubleshoot my problem over the phone.
The customer support is terrible, confusing, and they want you to PAY for help for problems in THEIR PRODUCT, which was bought under the understanding that it would be problem-free.
Anyone else see the problem with this?
More importantly, can anyone please help me?

Found a solution.
Had to go through my internet browser in order to restore my purchasing history in iTunes.
Now I have to re-delete the duplicate songs in my list again.....
My songs from a certain artist still come up 'error unable to locate source file'.
This really bites

  • I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

    I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

    It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

    By chance have you tried connecting your device to your Desktop (USB Cable) & then opened up the Device Files using iTunes?

  • I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie.  I used drag and drop to copy them.

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

  • I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

    Help!
    I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
    I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

  • My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts and always have. For some reason after she bought the iPhone 5c, whenever she tries to update her apps, it comes up for my AppleID and asks for my password. Please help on how to fix this!

    My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts. Ever since she updated to the iPhone 5c, for some reason when she tries to update her apps, it comes up with my AppleID and asks for my password.  I cannot figure out why this happening and how to fix this.  Please help!

    I have had this issue lately.
    I can only put it down to using the one computer to update all our IPads for me and my wife.
    Some of our apps, although downloaded from both our seperate accounts on our IPads, are the same.
    However after plugging her IPad into the computer when my AppleID is on ITunes, I think something strange has happened and when she then tries to update Apps on her IPad and I try on mine it now asks for the others Apple ID password.
    The only way I have found to counteract this is to update an app one at a time, if that app asks for your wifes password then delete it and then reinstall it.
    That has solved it for me.
    Hope this helps

  • Color in fcp7 changes to crushed blacks and warm skin tones for some reason

    So I have a MBP Retina, 2.6 GHZ, 16GB memory, 512 SSD.  I have two external displays LG IPS LED ones connected via hdmi.  For some strange reason, when I perform a given function or just randomly the color of my video becomes highly contrasted, and warm.  When I first begin my project everything looks great, but say for example I go to Window>Arrange>Standard, the windows will orgainze themsleves as usual, but then the color will become drastically crushed (see before and after photos below) The image becomes heavily contrasted as well as very warm in the red spectrum.  When I disconnect the monitor to see if it is an issue of the external display and just view FCP on my laptop, the images remain the same, crushed blacks and warm/redish skin tones.  But everything looks fine, if I close the program, disconnect the external displays and then recconnect them again and open FCP 7 again.  It will NOT do this if I stay on my laptop only, seems to only do it when I have either one or two external displays attached. 
    Not sure if anyone has come accross this yet, any clues? The first photo is how it normally looks, the second is with the strange color annomily.

    In FCP, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > System Settings and click on the Playback Control Tab.
    Make sure the Gamma Correction is set to Approximate:

  • How do you save data into an excel file while myRIO is acquiring data? I tried saving it using "Write to file" but it doesn't work for some reason.

    I am acquiring cosine wave and a pulse wave as input and I want to store their peak to peak values into an excel file. "Write to File" is not working for it. Is there any other vi which can be used for data logging?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Ssheoran,
    Can you provide more detail when you say that the Write to File VI doesn't work? Is there an error given? Or can you just not find the file on your computer? Keep in mind using this file in a Real-Time VI on the myRIO will save files on the myRIO. You will then have to transfer to your PC. Please view the following video as a guide for saving files and transferring them to your computer: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuREWnD6Eno). Hope this helps.

  • How do I remove the black double font on my text slide in iphoto '11? I selected a font and font color but for some reason the font appears in black also in a double font format

    Whatever font I select, it is showing up double with the second set of the font in black (I selected red - but if I select black it shows a double line of black) - kind of like seeing it blurry. I've never had this happen before. The font type shows selected as regular. Nothing I do gets rid of the blurry looking second font.
    I'm on a Mac Book Pro 15" running OS X 10.8.4 with iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.3

    Are you using the "Reflections" theme in your slide show? Then the mirrored reflection is built in and you cannot remove it. It is part of the design. Pick a different theme, if you do not like this feature.

    What kind of card is it ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
