Lost Music Track !

Hi,
I've downloaded 40 - 50 music tracks and videos from iTunes and never had a problem, until now!
A music track I downloaded a couple of days ago has disappeared from my Touch ??
There's a 'Report Problem' option against the download in the d/l list in iTunes, which I've selected but nothing happens ?
Anyone had this problem and resolved it?
Mike.

While it doesn't help you in the present case, I hope it helps you in the future. I've lost many files in the past, so I hope that by posting it will help people realize the importance of a current backup. I can see losing a few songs if a backup isn't current, but if I spent $40-50 bucks, yeah you can bet I'll be backing up. I actually got "the look" from my wife the other day when she saw a new hard drive arrive in the mail, but she'll be glad when she doesn't lose the music she's purchased or any of her other "essential" files. Usually apple will allow you to re-download lost music as a one time thing, but that's usually it. Good Luck.

  • Music tracks lost in Elements Editor

    I create photostories of collected photos, import them into my catalog and then create a slide show in the Editor. I also add music tracks.
    Has anybody had a problem with the music tracks being gone upon restoring a backup? In fact, all of my backups are missing the music tracks when restored!! I now have little confidence when doing a backup that the music tracks are included!!
    Any advice or help?

    Hi Barbara:
    Thanks for your quick reply. However, I have restored backups of Adobe PSE before and it always included the photos and music tracks that were in the project. My music files along with all of my pictures are kept in a Adobe Folder on my D:drive. I regularly do a backup especially if I was working on a new project and wanted to save my work.
    About a month ago, I messed up a project and restored a backup file which had all my other projects and music tracks. It correctly recovered everything except the projec that I messed up. If I restore that same backup today, the music tracks are gone from all of my projects and I don't understand why.
    When I finish a project I either send it to Premiere Elements to add menus and either burn a DVD or write a .WMV file. If I don't use menu's I just output the project from PSE as a .WMV file. Thankfully, I have a .WMV file for all of my projects!!
    Any other advice or assistance?

  • Lost itunes tracks on a NAS

    Lately iTunes has been loosing my music tracks(the grey exclamation point). I have the itunes music folder,xml, and database file all on a NAS that I connect to with my powerbook over wireless. I also connect to this library from a desktop pc over wireless(used mainly for streaming content to my apple tv) and have the same issues with lost tracks. iTunes will let me browse to find the track but it will lose it again after iTunes is restarted. Any help would be appreciated.

    i too have just moved all of my music onto a NAS, and I have the same issue. although its not ALL of the tracks, just a bunch of random tracks...
    however, they are on the NAS. I have manually re-linked them, but i havnt tested quitting and restarting yet.
    -do we need the .xml file there? i dont even think that matters, and i frankly dont even know what that xml file does?
    -is there a way to batch the missing links, instead of manually re-locating them? because this is getting annoying, being that i have almost 25gigs (and counting) worth of music to manage.

  • I've bought songs straight to my phone and havent syncs my phone to to computer, have I lost the tracks

    Have I lost my tracks Ive bought from itunes to my phone if Ive not sync my phone to my computer. ive lost my phone and just got a new one.

    Contact iTunes support, plead your case, and request they add the lost music to your download queue. Be nice, as they are under no obligation to do so:

  • Ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5

    ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5 upgrade. After the first Sync, 90% of my albums had blank covers.

    I had the same starting with taking 3 times synchronisation before my music library was visible on the Ipad-2. Though during synchronisation I saw the tracks being updating, they were nowhere to find . After a manual sync through devices->NNNipad->music and checking the entire music libary, I got my music libary back with the exception of roughly 10% of the artwork was not transferred. It is not related to manual added artwork as most of them are correctly transfered.
    Checking the through info on the albums I found the following issue:
    In the past i_tunes kept the artwork related to the album, now it keeps it attached to the several tracks. So when in I-tunes right clicking an album and selecting "info" you will find no artwork there. But when selecting a track and right clicking it (choose again "info" here it is you will find the artwork. The missing artwork in iOS5 is related to the fact that in the library on my computer the albums had artwork, but the tracks were not showing it. Adding again (with i-tunes 10.5) the artwork and re-sincing solved the problem for me.
    I hope this will help you, Hedzer

  • Retriving lost music?????

    Hi all
    I upgraded my ipod last year to the fifth generation when my old one crashed. I was playing with the old one the other day and low and behold I was able to get it into disk mode, so I copied all files to my computer and am now wondering how I get them back into Itunes from that funky apple format? I have most of the music all ready but I did lose a few of the tracks along the way some how and would like to restore them. It will let me import them one file at a time but not more than that. Since You can't see what the song is before you load it, it will be a looooooooooooong process to find my lost music. Any help would be greatly apprecited!!!
    Thanks

    hi
    Thanks for the response. I have done all of that before and now again. It does not work. The songs I copied are in the Apple format (F00, F01, F02 folders and song files in four letter code such as AYLP, DFGW, etc). If I click on add folder and then select the F00, nothing happens. If I click on Add File, I click on AYLP and then it adds it. But I can't add multiple files at once. here in lies my dilema.

  • How do I find and clear all ticked Stop Times in music tracks?

    I have lots of music tracks which have the Stop Time ticked under the Options tab in Get Info. I don't know why they are ticked as I didn't do it, but now I want to clear them all as it causes tunes to stop abruptly in playback. I've looked for a script that would do this, but no luck. If there's no available script, perhaps if I could at least find all of the songs with Stop Time ticked, that would be a start. Does anyone either know of a way to clear all ticked Stop Times, or at least create a playlist of all songs with Stop Time ticked? If anyone knows why Stop Time gets ticked for some songs and not others, that would also be useful information. Thanks in advance.

    barney97,
    Maybe this script in can be of help:
    tell application "iTunes"
    if selection is not {} then
    set sel to selection
    repeat with this_track in selection
    try
    set finish of this_track to 1000
    end try
    end repeat
    display dialog "Done!" buttons {"Thanks"} default button 1 giving up after 5
    end if
    end tell
    Replace the "1000" with the number of seconds of your longest track, compile and run the script. The script tries to set the Stop Time to 1000 seconds. If your tracks are shorter in duration, the Stop times just will be cleared.
    Run Script Editor (in ./Applications/Applescript) and copy the script (grey block above) to it.
    Click the 'Compile' button and save it as a script in ./Library/iTunes/Scripts.
    It will then appear in the Script menu in iTunes.
    Next, select all tracks in your Music Library (Command-A) and run the script.
    It's not a very elegant solution, but it works.
    If anyone knows why Stop Time gets ticked for some songs and not others, that would also be useful information.
    I can't tell you that. I've never experienced a phenomenon like that.
    Maybe some iTunes related Widget or iTunes supporting application is responsible for that.
    Hope this helps.

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • When I convert a trailer to a project and add content, how can I get the music track to repeat longer

    Hey fellow Apple Geniuses - I just got the latest iMovie11 so excited for the new trailer feature, only to discover that these teenie weenie movie trailers are not near long enough for my taste, however I do like the cool transitions and layouts, so I discovered that I can convert the trailer to a project and then add more content, which I am doing right now. I need help though with the audio track... Does anyone know the secret to getting the 43 second music track to repeat, since this particular track (Friendship2) is not showing as an option in my iTunes/iMovie licensed audio to be able to keep dragging more into the movie? Thanks a million!

    Hey Tom - Thanks a million truly! Just did what you said and it worked so smoothly! Totally cool! This was the last piece to finish the movie. I appreciate and value your quick response! Happy camper here!

  • How do i add EQ to multiple music tracks

    in an effort to make my touch's battery life last longer i read the tips and 1 was to turn off eq on the touch and add eq to the tracks from itunes but i can only do 1 at a time which is very slow. how do i add eq to multiple tracks??
    im talking like 700 music tracks 1 by 1 isnt an option

    You should be able to select the top track in a list and then hold down the shift key and click on the bottome of the list. Or you could use select all from the edit menu to select all the tracks in a play list/library.

  • How to delete multiple music tracks

    how to delete multiple music tracks?

    I think rendering the audio has to do with the way I import to FCE. This is how I bring video into FCE because it seems to be the only way I can get it to work. I run my video camera through a digital coverter which runs a firewire into my Mac. I then import the video into imovie. After that is done, I do a drag and drop of the imovie into FCE. I have to render the audio because it just beeps if I don't when I play it back in FCE. I tried using the video capture in FCE but it keeps telling me it is unable to capture (my gues is the cameras are too old and the digital converter in not compatable with FCE or Mac). So once the video and audio footage is in FCE, if I click the green button on the left hand side, my rendered audio becomes a red line. However, I can click the same button on the upper video portion, and it drops the video out so I can see video clips on the lower levels and not just the first one on top. So that's why I render the audio. I can see all twelve audio tracks already. Tom- would making the change you suggest still help? Great book by the way also.

  • How to add more than one music track in iphoto slideshow

    how do i add a second music track to a slideshow in iphoto. When I have a slide show longer than one song I'd like to start a second music track rather than repeat the song. Thanks for any help...

    I shortened songs in the playlist by changing the end time but when I select for slideshow in iphoto, it plays the full length????
    I know that feature works with later versions of iPhoto but don't remember it it did with iPhoto 8 and 10.5.8.

  • How do I retrieve lost music?

    Downloaded Itunes on a new computer and am trying to retrieve lost music files.  Everything pulled up when I first clicked the library link.  When I tried to create a playlist, a message kept popping up, saying that I needed to authorize this computer before I do anything else basically.  I then went to account settings, and it showed that the device was authorized.  I thought that maybe it just needed to be reset, so i clicked unauthorize and ok.  I went back to authorize it again and clicked done.  Then went back into the library, and the only songs that where in there, were the ones that made it into the new playlist I created before the authorization message popped up.  How do I get all of my downloaded songs back?  I went from having about 500 songs to about 9!!!!  Help!
