Missing song track

I’ve created a project in Final Cut Express 4 and added a background song from my collection of purchased iTunes songs.
The file seemed fine, it converted and saved fine, and even when I burned it on DVD and played it back as a DVD on the computer, everything seemed fine.
When I took the dvd to be played at the clients house in their DVD player, the background music was gone.
Any idea why?
Everything else played ok, but the song track was missing and not playing at all.

That would be a very interesting extension of DRM.
So, just confirming, you had an FCE project, included an iTunes song, exported the video, imported it into iDVD, burned a DVD ... and the resulting DVD played fine on your computer but not on a DVD player. And the DVD was not a data DVD, it was a playable DVD, right?

  • 4 of the songs on a recently purchased album do not appear on my computer. I bought the album on my phone, and all of the songs are accounted for there, but on my computer it shows as an incomplete album and ITunes wants me to buy the missing songs?

    I recently purchased Slipknot's ".5: The Gray Chapter" on my phone via an ITunes gift card worth $15 dollars. The album did have some trouble downloading because of a bad signal, and a good number of songs "could not be downloaded at this time". To download the missing songs, I had to go into ITunes store>more>purchased>music>all songs and click download on the few that didn't. This fixed that problem, and now the entire album is on my phone, but when the album transferred over to my computer, 4 of the songs still did not appear.  Not only that, it says that they have not been purchased. The ITunes card I used only has a dollor left on it, so I know it registered the purchase. The 10th, 14th, 15th, and 16th tracks still have $1.29 next to them, and ITunes is showing the album as an incomplete.

    We are having this same issue.  We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library.  Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain.  The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase.  Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

  • Missing Songs in iTunes Music folder.

    I recently found that I have missing files in my iTunes music folder. The missing songs seem to be random. For instance, Abby Road is missing tracks 3 and 6. My music folder is on my main hard drive and I also have a Time Capsule backup.
    When I look for the songs in my backup disk, I find I have to go back as far as 4 months to restore some of them and I just now found a song that was there yesterday but gone today. This leads me to believe that a few songs are randomly being deleted every day. Anyone else with this problem?
    I'm using iTunes 10.1 but apparently I've been having this problem for at least 4 months now so I believe it was an earlier version when it started happening.

    redcore,
    I got an answer from AppleCare on this one and it seems to be working as I have not noticed any more lost songs. The first person I talked to had never heard of this but his boss had and told me I needed to create a new iTunes music folder. This is a bit of a pain, but not as bad as going through TimeMachine to replace all the random, missing files (that part took a while).
    You have to Option-click (hold option while you click) on the iTunes icon and then click "Create new library". Name it something different from your old one and then drag all your old content into the new library. You will have to do this with the music, apps, movies, etc. Also, keep in mind you will have to export all your playlist info to the new iTunes as well. I didn't export them all so I'm not sure how, or if, you can do them all at the same time. I did File/Library/Export Playlist in the old iTunes... Than had to do File/Library/Import Playlist when in the new iTunes I had created.
    Hope this helps

  • Missing songs in itunes

    When syncing my iphone today, I recieved a message that "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone...because they could not be found." All the missing items were ones I had purchased thru iTunes. The songs in question are still on my playlist, but there is an exclimation point next to themthat when clicked on, another message box appears: "...song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I choose that option, it takes me to iTunes folder in C drive:\Windows\sysWOW64. I have no idea where the files would be in the huge list that comes up. I haven't deleted anything recently (I synced the iPhone 2 days ago and didn't get the message). My CCleaner and anti-virus have not run yet today. They last ran 3 days ago. Some of the missing songs are actually albums that I purchased.  Help?!

    You're on the right track - somehow the ITL file got damaged. Nobody knows exactly why this happens - you can google "data corruption" and read about it.
    If you don't have a good backup of your ITL file, you're going to have to rebuild your library. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's true. You have 2 options:
    You can build on the current ITL library file that has missing songs, if you can figure out what's missing. This method won't lose all your ratings & playcounts.
    Or, just start with a an empty library and add your main music folder back into itunes.
    Then start making weekly backups of your ITL file so if something like this happens again, you're not totally out of luck.

  • IOS 7 problems finding songs, playlist missing songs

    I had a playlist that included several songs from a particular artist but since upgrading from iOS 6.1.3 I can only see one of the tracks remaining. The other songs appear to be removed and searching for missing songs/parent album/artist does not produce any results at all.
    The songs are still on the iPhone and I can navigate to them, but only as follows:
    Play the one surviving track from this artist/album still in my playlist.
    Switch to 'now playing' to select other tracks on the album, including the missing playlist items that Music Search can't find.
    It seems like an indexing problem. I'll try removing all the music and resyncing from iTunes and reply with the results. Maybe this will help someone else...
    Running iOS 7.0.2 on iPhone 5 64GB. Problem has been present since iOS 7.0.0
    Music ~= 20-30GB on iPhone.

    Third update (sync takes hours so I can only do this once a day...)
    iTunes 11.1.1 did not help.
    I deleted all music on the device from Settings > Usage > Music > Edit > Delete (which, incidentally, took two attempts before it actually deleted it).
    Then I performed a clean sync of my selected playlists again (about 5800 songs)
    The sync completed but the iphone was still missing over 1500 songs.
    I tried another sync immediately. The process stayed on 'waiting to apply changes' for about 15 minutes, then completed. A few more songs were sync'd but it was still missing 1400+ songs.
    The playlist with missing songs was still missing some tracks, but different ones this time. To test if the playlist was the problem I deleted all music from the iPhone again and sync'd just two playlists, including the problematic one. It sync'd all tracks on both playlists, so it doens't appear to be the playlist that is breaking the sync.
    I will try one last attempt by restoring the phone as a new device then syncing all my playlists before reapplying the backup data. If that still doesn't work then there is clearly a problem with the sync process that previously worked fine on earlier versions of iOS / iTunes.

  • Tried/tested song track will not publish on iWeb anymore

    I have successfully published 2 sound tracks from a bona fide CD on my client's website until a month ago when checking the website to ensure all was in order, I noted these tracks showed they were not playable.
    I spent many hours trying to circumvent the problem, that is reload the MP3 audio tracks to iTunes, but all efforts were to no avail.
    Considered it was a matter of slow speed when it came to publishing the website. However, I have increased my internet connectivity to a much higher speed, but still the two tracks would not upload.
    I have tried many times again to reload the sound tracks in iTunes, but I found that when I followed the instructions this time round, when it came to 'Choose a New MP3 version on the pull-down menu, the list was grayed out. I cannot understand why this is occurring.
    I have carefully followed the instructions for 'To convert a song's file format. Somehow, I am missing a procedure that is affecting converting the two songs properly so they can be mounted on my website's page.
    The web page where I had successfully mounted the 2 song tracks, was very well visited. I want to keep it on the site, but at this time as I write, I cannot do so.
    HELP!

    Make sure that you run software update. iWeb was one of several apps that got updated recently and publishing is one of those things that was addressed.

  • Where are all the missing songs I already purchased?

    Where are all my missing songs which I previously purchased?

    I assumed I wouldn't need to explain as it seemed pretty obvious that a lot of people are asking the same question and I have yet to see a post by anyone who has gotten an answer.
    Before the iCloud seemingly took over all my songs and playlists where stored in my phone and computer. When the transition from the old iTunes to the new iTunes with iCloud took place all the songs which I had previously loaded manually from CDs became just titles with no content. Also, seemingly arbitrary tracks which I had previously purchased from iTunes are no longer available. I realize I can download what is in the cloud whenever I am connected but two things are wrong here. My albums, tracks, and song which I had ripped into my iTunes library are gone as are many songs which I legitimately purchased. Regarding the latter of the two is there a record of my purchases and will I be credited and have those songs previously purchased made available again? Regarding the first issue, I saved those songs and may not have the CD anymore, where did they disappear to?

  • How to get iTunes to find all missing songs which are in the library

    iTunes keeps telling me it can't find around 150 songs and I have to manually point it to each folder - it offers to use location to find other missing tracks but that only works for songs in the same album folder, not other artists/albums. Is there something I can do to find all songs at once?

    Hi,
    Try Doug's Applescripts for iTunes, he has one for finding missing songs.
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=listmias
    You can browse his site to find where to put the downloaded script.
    Good luck.

  • Anyway to automatically relink random missing song files in iTunes library? Random songs have "!" while other songs in same album folder are fine.

    I can manually relink a missing song by navigating to the album folder in my iTunes media folder where all of my music is stored, but there are hundreds of "missing" songs in my 100+ GB Library. Any way to get iTunes to reconcile the library in a more automated fashion? I am fearful of solutions that may introduce a ton of duplicates.
    Would also like to know why this has happened so I can prevent it in future. Why are some songs in an album coming up missing and others in the same root folder playing fine?? It's not like my library is missing, 80% of my music is fine.
    My MAC iTunes library is organized by iTunes and all new media is copied into the iTunes folder (which I have "living" on an external USB 500GB hard drive, which I sometimes use with my PC Laptop when I travel - I don't do this often and it has never caused a problem before.)

    UPDATE: I contact the developer fo the iTunes Track CPR script just to give him some feedback. His reply, "
    Thanks for letting me know. CPR needs a good looking at. But have you tried "Music Folder Files Not Added"?
    http://dougscripts.com/466"
    I used that script and it found all of the MIA "missing" songs and then added them back to my iTunes library (took about 7 hours to auto add about 2000+ songs.) This process also created duplicates, but I was able to use the "Manage Duplicates" feature of iTunes under the File menu to see a list of all duplicates; then I deleted all of the songs with the"!" next to their names (took about 45 minutes.)
    So I think in the end this did save me a lot of time and aggrevation.
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chris!

  • Missing Songs on Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - 40GB. Player empty but space not 1

    I have the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 40GB.
    Over the last couple of weeks I?ve been slowly ripping my CDs, using Creative MediaSource and then adding them to my Nomad player. Recently, I went to turn on my player and notice it saying ?rebuilding library?. I thought nothing of it.<SPAN> I then went to see how many songs and albums were on the player and from what I could tell it looked like a lot less than what I thought I had copied over. The songs were something like 3750 and the number of albums was something like 350, which was far less than what I thought it should be but was not 00% for sure.<SPAN> Total free space was something like 7800MB.
    Anyway, yesterday, I tried to copy over some new songs that I had just ripped from CDs.<SPAN> ? of the way through the battery died on the Zen player so it stopped transferring. I went to charge the player and when turned it on the player said ?rebuilding library?. There should, at this point, had been 4500+ songs.<SPAN> I went and tried to copy over the files again, from my computer, and noticed that the songs that I had just copied and would have been skipped, were being copied over again. When I went to check Settings, About the player said I had the ~3750 songs plus the additional songs that had just copied over. At this point I just copied over the new songs bringing my total count to 4634. To be safe, I copied all the songs from my Zen back to a new computer, using Creative MediaSource. After copying over all the files, I then tried a reset of the player, thinking this would delete all the files on the Zen. Instead it did the ?rebuilding library?.<SPAN> When I went back to Settings, About, on the Zen player, it again said there was the ~3750 songs and ~350 albums.<SPAN> So the ?rebuilding library? on my Zen player keeps on removing/hiding my songs and albums.
    Since nothing was working, I connected my Zen to my computer again and using the Creative MediaSource deleted all the songs on my Zen player. When I was done it is showing No. of Tracks: 0.<SPAN> Total Memory:<SPAN> 3833MB.<SPAN> Free Memory though is only 8659MB.
    There is nothing on my Zen player that I can see. Even using Windows Explorer and Nomad Explorer, it is completely blank.
    Someone help please.<SPAN> How do I get back my missing songs and/or reset the player? If at all possible I?d like to get the missing songs off the player since I don?t have those ripped songs on my computer and don?t feel like ripping all those songs again.<SPAN> What is going on?

    Pls Help  Best and Kind Regards

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if it shows under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunee. If it shows there but doesn't have the clpud symbol against it for redownloading then is that track listed in the Music part of your library i.e. where you would click on it to play it ? If it is then delete it from there and it should then get the cloud symbol against it in Purchased.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com . iTunes Support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours.
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I just bought an album on iTunes but didn't get the first two songs.  I click on them to try to download them, but get a message to authorize my computer.  My computer is already authorized.  How can I get my two missing songs?

    Sometimes, there would be temporary connectivity glitches preventing you from downloading a certain track from the iTunes store - these are rare and usually resolve if you try back in some time. If it continues, contact Apple support mentioning the name of the problematic song:

    i have missing songs that i purchased on my old iphone. they are not in my purchased folder. but in itunes store when i look the song up, it has the purchased logo next to it.... but no way to download it

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

    Bought new iMac & moved (or thought I had) all of my music from the old PC to the new iMac. Have discovered several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac itunes Shared folder. How do I move them all so I can then & retire the old PC?

    From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
