[!] marks on iPod iTunes files

On iTunes, when I clicked on some of my iPod music files, an exclaimation mark appeared next to them. Then, on the main head iPod file, they all worked (sans the [!] files), and all the remaining working files work again, even in the subfolders. Anyone else having this crazy problem?

Update: The iPod has been working so slowly, sometimes the music is all messed up, and iTunes just cannot connect with the iPod. I thought at several points that I lost all my files, but they still exist, but when I tried to restore last night with the latest iPod update, it did not recognize the iPod.

My purchased itunes files will not show up on my ipod after a virus Help!!!

Everything shows up in itunes, but my purchased files from itunes wont sync to my ipod. They still play in itunes. Is there way to get them to sync? Help please!!!

They backed up the files but you need to authorize the computer again.

How can I transfer my iPod touch files directly to iTunes library?

I wanted to upgrade my iPod because it is still version 4.1 . Every time I try to download apps from the App Store, most of them are only available for newer versions that's why I wanted to upgrade it. Please help me! Thanks in advance.

Follow these insructions. WHn it says to restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
Note:
A 2G can only to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
Identifying iPod models
CAUTION, if you have a 2G iPod
Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

I moved by iTunes files to an external drive because I was changing computers. I then moved the files to the new computer. My iPod is not linking with the files on the computer. What can I do?

I moved my iTunes files from my old computer to an external hard drive. I then moved those files to the new computer. My computer and iPad are not linking up (recognizing each other?). I installed the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer to see if that would help. It did not--I got the message that an iPad can only be linked up with one computer and the new download would not work with this iPod. So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPad. What should I do to correct this?

Sorry, I had a typo. The last sentence should have read "iPod" (iPad): So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPod. What should I do to correct this?

My computer crashed with all my itunes files. I was able to get some off and transfer them to another computer. I am afraid to sync my ipod to the new computer becaused I do not want to loose all of my playlists and other music. Will this happen?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

My ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out

my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings. I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill.
After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

I have an apple computer and ipod touch and an ipod classic when i sink the ipod touch everything sync all is well and then i try to sync my 120 gb classic and all the music syncs but not photo's it comes up saying it can't because itunes file is missing

why does it come up and say it can't find the itunes file i didn't do anything different then when i used the ipod touch so why does it work for one and not the other

Sorted it out. If anyone has this problem i reccommend visiting http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-classic-ipod-5g-video/237546-ipod-classic-80gb-fr eezes-itunes-need-restore-plz-help-2.html#post1403546 there's some pretty good advice on it. have to go into control panel and re-format iPod into NTFS file. good luck.

Accidentally deleted iTunes, is there anyway I can download it again and have it just back up my iPod instead of clearing it of all data? All of iTunes files are still on my computer, but the actual program got deleted.

I was trying to clear space on my C drive and decided to delete programs that I didn't use or that I didn't recognize. (Bad idea, I know that now.) Anyways, accidentally deleted a program that iTunes needed to run and the computer said it would undo the uninstall and restart to fix the problem but when it restarted iTunes was gone. So my question is, after I download iTunes again, is there a way I can just backup my iPod to it's last sync (which was coincidentally right before I accidentally deleted iTunes) instead it being cleared of all its data? All of iTunes' files are still on my computer except the actual program itself.

Hi, InsaneCharlie.
Thanks for the question. I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes. If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

Either you did or did not. Do you not remember?

Media is not burned to iDevices. Burning an iDevice would destroy it.
Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice? What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?

I changed my password so now when I pull up my account there is no music.
Changed password to what?
Pull up what account?
What does this have to do with iTunes?
One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
What is the actual issue that is occurring?

iTunes has nothing to do with putting media on a non-Apple device.

Can't Play Shared ITunes Files On Ipod Only

Ok, I've looked at all the shared files posts, but couldn't find this scenario. I've also looked at the how-to shared threads.
My fiance and I are running two Ipods (one 30G Video and a 4G Mini) on one PC w/ Win XP under 2 different profiles and two different ITunes Accts. I've enabled sharing under both profiles.
Our music is not in the shared folder and we can add files to each others ITunes Manually, and that is fine. (we didn't want them together)
She can add actual ACC files that I downloaded from ITunes and play them on her Ipod, no problem.
BUT, i can add her song to my playlist and can play those ACC files fine through ITunes, but they just won't play on my Ipod, any ideas? It just skips over them... I don't even get a message for authorization...
Anything else I download from her ITunes playlist (like cd, mp3 and limewire files) all work fine and play on my Ipod, just not the ITunes files she downloaded and purchased...
Any ideas, this is driving me nuts...

Try deauthorizing both of the accounts (from the Store menu in iTunes). Then Restore the iPod, and re-authorize both accounts in iTunes. Then make sure you can play songs from both accounts in iTunes, hook up the iPod and sync them over.

HT1386 Unable to transfer iTunes file/folder on my iPod (Classic) to my new computer.

I am trying to transfer my iTunes music to a new Windows computer from my iPod (Classic) but I am unable to see my iTunes file/folder on my iPod when connected to my new computer.

I managed to recover my music from my iPod Classic (formatted F00, F01, F02, etc......F49), but I am unable to get iTunes to recognize any of it. It keeps defaulting to a previous old iTunes library and trying to locate those songs.
How can I get it to recognizewhat I would like to be my new!!! iTunes library (off my iPod)?

I get a message saying some of the itunes files cannot be copied to my ipod b/c i can only have content from 5 itune accounts. what can i do to put the content i bought?

Obviously that's your problem. As the message states, five is the maximum supported.

HT201301 How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?

How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.
