Many random songs are not "found" by iTunes. How can I locate in bulk?

After I left external hard drive off, iTunes defalted to "c" drive for music file. I re-mapped itunes to my external drive yet many of my songs are not found. Why are some of my songs found while others are not? All the songs are on my external and when I individually "locate" not found songs they work fine. Is there a way to point iTunes to these songs in bulk rather than having to do each song individually??

Interesting, this is the first time I hear one can purchase songs via Facebook. Note that unless youpurchased the songs from iTunes, you will not be able to add them to the Music app on your iPHone.

Some songs purchased through Facebook are not syncing onto iTunes, how can I fix this problem?

Good morning to all of you in this community. The reason for this discussion being started up is because I am having trouble uploading some mp3 files that I purchased through Facebook. most of the songs uploaded successfully with no problem, bit there are a few that I can't find although I downloaded them. I am a new user to Apple products, so this is quite an annoyance to have to be dealing with. If anyone has any helpful suggestions I would appreciate it greatly, thank you.

TS1424 I'm having a hardtime syncing my new ipod shuffle, get a message that says my songs are not found

I'm having a difficult time transfering my songs to my new ipod shuffle 4th generation. A message says that my songs are not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure what procedure you are using, but you should do it this way...
First, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, find and select the shuffle under DEVICES. There is a bar with buttons toward the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. Choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Under Playlists, find and checkmark that 12-song playlist. Click Apply.
Going forward, you can update that playlist (add/remove songs) in your iTunes library. The next time you connect the shuffle (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.

If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

Hello

IPod is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes.

iPod touch is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes... any ideas how to fix? Tried resyncing, didn't work.

I'm fishing slightly but you may have casing inconsistenices in artist or album names that cause the iOS firmware to see more than one instance of the album but with each getting all the tracks. Merging stuff in iTunes via sort fields may also have unintended consequenses on the device. Could you post back a screenshot or decribe the symptoms more fully, ie. exactly which menu screen you are in on the iPod, what is repeated etc. The songs menu for example can correctly list more than one copy of a song if it appears on different albums.

TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly. How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

My old computer has crashed and my itunes account went with it. The only place I have my unpurchased songs are in my iPhone. How can I transfer them to my new iTunes account?

I have the EXACT issue as Hatchs88 and the response doesn't help. I found a 3 of 4 missing songs as "song".tmp file in the music directory but I can't do anything here... The iTunes store just says purchased and it doesn't the songs show up in the purchased list either. What's funny is that I was able to download on an iPod touch but I cant get it on my PC...

When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure but I think you create your play order manually then select the playlist, right click it (or use ctrl+click) & select "Copy to play order".
I think when you burn that playlist it should obey that order, it has been so long since I made a mix CD that I'm not certain, good luck.

Hey my iphone is not synching with itune, how can i solve this problem?

It can sync with a 32-bit, so long as you have the correct version of iTunes installed. I'm assuming that you are referring to a Windows based computer, so check out this support document regarding the device not being recognized by Windows. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

I downloaded movies onto my iPad to watch when I was abroad, I synchronised with my laptop and now they are not on my iPad how can I get them back?

If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

My Macbook is not playing sound unless i have headphones in. The light in the headphone plug stays on even when they are not plugged in. How can i fix this?

You might need to clean the headphone port (I was in the same situation and this worked for me). Dirt, dust, and debris accumulate in the port and eventually the computer registers the debris as headphones being plugged in. After cleaning the issue was resolved.
