Method for itunes to list all exclamation point songs

lost a bunch of my music couple thousand songs....is there an easy way to have itunes list all exlamation point songs.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums.
For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

How do I get all 'exclamation point' songs to show at the same time?

Please help!
I need to delete TONS of broken tracks... they have all been reimported, but
the same old tracks with the exclamation points remain in my library!
What's even worse is you have to click on each individual track, just to get them to show whether they have the exclamation point? There has got to be an easier way!
Does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to make ALL the tracks that are broken, show their exclamation points?
Thank you!

Hi
Maybe you can solve your problem by executing the following action :
+Open iTunes in "safe mode" (without external plug-ins) by using the keyboard shortcut Command-Option (while opening iTunes).+
This will open iTunes in safe mode, which disables some plug-ins ...
But normally all exclamation marks will disappear ... at least it solved my problem.
I hope this helps

Upgrade iTunes 6.0 - ALL Exclamation Points

Running OSX 10.4.2 Quicktime 7.0.3 my son upgraded to iTunes 6.0 yesterday. Now all his old music has exlamation points next to each song. When a song is dbl clicked it says "The song _ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Clicked yes and looked in Previous Music Folder but it appears to only be data files. Cannot find the songs. Where did they go? Repaired disk permissions. He only has one computer so I don't think it's authorizations. Please help! Thanks.

To effectively follow what is happening here you must 1st understand what the word 'Library' means in iTunes.
IMHO it is the main reason a lot of people get confused
The dictionary says... with my comments in red
Library
a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for people to read, borrow, or refer to : a school library | [as adj. ] a library book. #1 library is a building or room (iTunes Music folder)
a collection of books and periodicals held in such a building or room : the Institute houses an outstanding library of 35,000 volumes on the fine arts. #2 library is all the books, recorded music etc. stored in this building or room (the Data files inside the iTunes Music folder)
a collection of films, recorded music, genetic material, etc., organized systematically and kept for research or borrowing : a record library. #3 library (iTunes Library file)
a series of books, recordings, etc., issued by the same company and similar in appearance. #4 library Podcasts etc.
a room in a private house where books are kept. #5 library your own private collections stored elsewhere, separate folders on other HD's etc.
(also software library) Computing a collection of programs and software packages made generally available, often loaded and stored on disk for immediate use. xml copies of playlists and library files
I am sure you get the idea... iTunes uses the iTunes Library file (tag data of the Music files) to manage your data library (the Music files)
Back to your question "since we are NOT selecting, "copy files when adding to library" this means that it won't copy what we have already will it?....I just want to make sure I understand before I try it."
Means it will not copy any data files to the iTunes Music folder when adding the tag data for each song to the iTunes Library file... if the 'tag' data already exists for any song it will be checked and corrected if need be and the link to the actual data file will be redone.... if any songs are found that do not exist in the iTunes Library file they will be added but as it says above the files will not be copied, they will remain in their present location.
I hope that helps Frank ... if you need any help or anything not clear come and ask ... TP

Is there a method or function to list all the properties

I'm looking for a method that's similar to Python's dir(x) which lists all the properties of an object. I'm looking to use this on After Effects Objects.

You can use a for...in loop: for (var key in myObj) if (myObj.hasOwnProperty(key)){ ...}
But in ExtendScript there are also Reflection and ReflectionInfo objects. Those are not documented in the After Effects Scripting Guide but in the JavaScript Tools Guide (common to all Adobe scriptable apps).
For any ExtendScript object o you can query its reflection object. o.reflect is an object with properties and methods:
"properties" : an array listing all properties in o. Each entry is a ReflectionInfo object.
"methods" : an array listing all methods in o. Each entry is a ReflectionInfo object.
"name" : the class name of the object
"help" and "description" : some strings supposed to give some hint about the objects but those fields are invariably empty...
"find" : a method to find a specific property or method by its name
For what a ReflectionInfo looks like, see the JavaScript Tools Guide. (The main properties are "name", "dataType", "type")
For instance, if o is a layer position property:
o.reflect.methods = array of ReflectionInfo corresponding to all "ADBE Position" methods
o.reflect.find("setValue") => ReflectionInfo corresponding to the method "setValue"
o.reflect.find("setValue").name : "setValue"
o.reflect.find("setValue").arguments.length : 0 // SHOULD BE 1 ... arguments are not filled in :-(

This was easier done in Pages, so I hope you will excuse the switch.
Formula for cell designation in column a of the table is:
=INT((ROW()-1)/10+1-0.1)&", "&MOD(ROW()-2,10)+1
I know it's difficult to read and can't be copied from the screen shot.
To get the entire table on one page, make the table Inline and set Text Layer columns to three.

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country.

Is there a way to authorize more than 5 computers for iTunes or reauthorize all of my computers before 1 year?

Is there ant way to consolidate "Exclamation point " songs?

Is there any way to consolidate "exclamation point" songs to update all of them at once. I have most of my songs in one place and xcan only choose one at a time. AND, unfortunately, some of the songs are "purchased". Are those lost for good???

You can't currently merge accounts nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it. As long as both accounts continue to be authorised on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to continue using them. Note that if you turn on automatic downloads for an account or re-download its past purchases then you may tie that computer (or iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch if that is what you are using) to that account for 90 days, so you wouldn't be able to log into the other account until those 90 days are up : associating a computer or device.

I downloaded music to my iphone and when I went to go sync it up to itunes, I lost all of the songs purchased from that time until the previous time I backed it up. How do I recover these purchased songs that have been lost?

All of your music should be in itunes on your computer.
Select it to sync and sync.

HT1199 My iTunes music list all have the exclamation point. I do not know how to find the files to restore the music. Any advice?

All the songs in my iTunes have the exclamation point. I do not know how to find location of the music...any suggestions?

Ok, your music could be in one of a coupel formats, MP3 or, more likely, Apples AAC format, which has a m4a prefix. Open Finder. Hold Command and press F, this will open a search window in the top of Finder. Type mp3 here, let it search. If it finds your music files, double tap on one and "open Enclosing Folder" That should show you where they are at. If nothing is found, try searching m4a instead. One of the two should show you where your music is.

HT203175 I don't know whether these articles apply or not. Here's what I seeing in my iTunes program. When I open iTunes, I see little exclamation points next to EVERY song that has been downloaded. Therefore, I can't play them from my computer or dwnl

Can somebody help me get rid of these exclamation points so that I can download all my songs to my iPod? Please? I don't know why they appeared, as I did have the songs working before and they were on my iPod. But, I didn't want ALL of them on there and I didn't know I could "select" which songs to send to the iPod. However, it's been a few months since I messed with it. But, yesterday, when I went to select my songs, I noticed all these excalamation points on everything that was there. Help, please! Again, I can't play them from my computer AND they won't download to my iPod!
Thanks,

This happens 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.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try 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.
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.

Missing itunes music files and exclamation point in iTunes 10

Hi
iTunes on my macbook is a copy of from my desktop. I have not added any music to it and only use it to play music when I am travelling.
Last night I opened itunes and it was updating album covers..i think this is the first time i opened it since updating to 9.1? Anyways every track had an exclamation point and could not locate the file.
I updated to itunes 10 and that did not fix the issue.
I checked where my music should be stored (users/shared/itunes/itunes music) and the only files there are 2 folders called "Automatically add to itunes" and another called "Incomplete". In "Incomplete" are 2 files "downloads.bak" and "downloads.dat"
I have done a spotlight search for .m4 etc and find nothing...
1. Is there anyway to find my music files or are they gone forever?
2. Can I sync my iTouch to my macbook and will everything be copied to my macbook?
3. Is there a easy way to copy or transfer itunes from my desktop to my macbook?
Help

if i were in your situation, i'd start over on the MB.
the simplest way would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source (desktop) to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the target (MB) (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
another option, which may be appealing if you travel a lot, is to get a suitably sized mobile HD such as [this|http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11030] and copy the iTunes folder there. then, on each Mac (one @ a time, mind you) launch iTunes while pressing option on the keyboard and, at the prompt, click on +choose library+. select the iTunes folder on the external.
that way, both computers will work with the same iTunes library. while @ home, the external is connected to the desktop. while on the road, it is connected to the MB. no matter on which machine you add content, it will be available to both.
if you opt for this setup, you must make sure the drive is mounted on your desktop before you launch iTunes.
