Music files not found message

I have downloaded all my purchased music on my new mac but when I try to listen to anything I get a message that original files can't be found. I've downloaded iTunes again and still doesn't work. Any advice?

I did a restore on an ipod (due to syncing problems w/stupid 7.7 upgrade) and it deleted all but 24 songs on my itunes library. It lists all the songs but like the original poster, it has an '!' in front of the title, says the 'original could not be found' and I cannot locate the files anywhere on my computer.
I've asked this question about 5 times now -- why would doing a restore on an ipod delete songs from my itunes library? How does this happen? And more importantly, WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO FIX THIS 7.7 PROBLEM WE ARE ALL HAVING???

  • !File Not Found message

    My itunes does not connect to the underlying music files on my external drive. When I try to play, I get the dreaded exclamation point and "file not found" message for all. While I could click on each of the 10,000+ songs and reassociate the file to the location on my external drive manually, this would take forever. So I am looking for a way to reassociate all at once.
    How it happened: I am not sure. But when I went to check the settings, it showed that somehow it had restored the default location of my files to the C drive, instead of the F drive (where my external drive is located with the files).
    What I did: I changed the setting back to the F drive as the location of the music files. I thought that would do it, but unfortunately the error message still appears. I surveyed the support boards last night on Apple.com before I got too tired and couldn't find anything exactly on point.
    My concern: While at last resort, I could back up all my files and then attempt to drop and drag my whole library into Itunes again, I will lose all my many playlists and the play count. This information is important to me. How can I preserve it?

    There is a support article HERE that discusses moving your iTunes music folder (which is pretty much what you are trying to do). I''m not sure what will happen when you run the "consolidate library" since there is nothing actually there to move.
    There's also some documentation in the iTunes help file under "Changing where your iTunes files are stored."
    A last resort would be to edit the itunes library.xml file (after making a copy of it). I did this a while ago when I wanted to get rid of the drive letter designation and replace it with UNC (my music sits on a networked drive).
    By the way, are you sure Windows is still reporting the drive as "F:"? If Windows has changed the letter, iTunes will revert the default location to My Music\iTunes until the drive is "fixed."
    Good luck.

    I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5.  Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work.  There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone.  What is going on? Trying to find it using the "find missing photos" in the library menu does nothing.

  • 'Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found' message on ONLY 5 sites, but all others OK.  Help, please!

    Hi Again!
    I posted this problem here before, but since I really need to access the sites that receive this error message in less than a month, I had to re-post; hopefully someone who didn't see it before will see it & have a solution for me.
    Here are the details:  I'm running windows 8.1 & I use Firefox 33.1.1, Pale Moon 25.1.0 or Opera 26.0 as my browsers, (I have IE installed & up-to-date, but I never use it).  I followed the 10-point checklist on Adobe & everything was done, except for "uncheck Hardware Acceleration" in Flash 'Settings'; I tried to uncheck it on this site, where it's indicated, as well as in my 4 browsers when I'm doing something that uses Flash, but no matter how hard I try, I can't 'uncheck' the check mark in that tiny box!  Since this error problem only affects 5 web sites, & I can watch streaming media on all other sites, I don't think it's an issue. 
    Here's how this problem began:  I was watching a live, streaming nest-cam on 5/09/14 around 11:00AM, (yes, I DO know the exact time & date, because it happened so suddenly while I was watching this website that I'd been watching since the end of February, 2014), when my screen went black.  I thought it was probably an Adobe Crash, but when the usual Crash Report window didn't show up, I just closed Firefox & reopened it, expecting to resume watching the nest-cam.  When I went back to the site, I got the black screen with the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" message.  The chat portion on the site still works, though. I know there are other sites with this nest-cam feed, so I started trying them, but it took several tries for me to find one that didn't get the error message! I posted this problem on "Windows BBS" forum, & someone else posted that the same thing happened to them AND on the same sites!  They didn't have a solution, either.  I cleared my cache, rebooted my PC & even did a System Restore, but whatever happened in that brief second made using ONLY 5 sites impossible.  Here are the sites that receive the error message:
    http://pixcontroller.com/eagles, (but I CAN go to http://pixcontroller.com, but there isn't any streaming media)
    http://cbslocal.com/eagles
    http://westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdwebcam-1.htm
    http://wildearth.tv/cam/pittsburgh-bald-eagles, (I get the error message on ALL cams on this site)
    http://aviary.org/BE-NestCam1 (I get the error message on ALL cams on this site)
    Now if any videos from the 5 websites above are uploaded to YouTube, I can watch them perfectly...no error message if I watch the videos elsewhere.  Luckily, I found Ustream, & they have most of the nest cams I watch, but I need to fix this issue, because it's nearing nesting time!  I'm an amateur nest-watcher & it's vital that I have access to these 5 sites, so if anyone knows how to fix this, PLEASE tell me!
    Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
    All suggestions/solutions are gratefully accepted.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Suddenly I'm getting "out of memory" & "file not found" messages

    in the last 2 days I have started getting, first, "file not found" messages @ autosave and also quit ... thereby preventing me from saving my changes .. I tried to "save project as" but the program wouldn't let me .. with the same message. Then an hour or so later my canvas window went red with a card that said "out of memory ... free up .. and it will redraw"
    I'm running FCP 5.1 on 10.4.11 on a G5.
    This is a feature film project .. lots of memdia on several firewire drives ... have 10-15% free space on them.
    I'm lost, what gives? any help will be greatly appreciated...

    Hi Chocolade1972,
    >> Does the comparison i'm doing is right ? I want to compare one list index against other listi ndex.
    I think you could use “Object.Equals” and the link below might be useful to you:
    # Object.Equals Method (Object)
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bsc2ak47(v=vs.110).aspx
    >> OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory
    This error is very common, and when there is not enough memory to continue the execution of a program, it would be thrown.
    It would be helpful if you could provide us a simple code to reproduce your issue.
    Best Regards,

    If this is something inside omni.ja, I think you need to reinstall Firefox. Omni.ja is inside the program directory. I would get the installer and install Firefox manually. It probably would not hurt to remove the Firefox program directory first. You can get that installer here:

  • Recording error File not found message?

    I am trying to record onto an audio track in logic. When I push the record button a error message comes up: File not found result code-43??
    What does THAT mean? As long as I have a audio track selected, nothing works. I push play,..same error message. When I select any othe track besides an audio track, it works fine. Any ideas?

    I believe that error message is telling you that a record path has not been set.
    Hit "A" on your keyboard, and you'll get the recording path dialog box. Tell it where you want the newly recorded audio files to be placed on your hard drive, and that should fix it.

  • Music files not found for iPod sync

    Trying to sync my son's iPod nano and none of the music files can be found, when I look in the library, none are indicated by an '!' so I can't re-find them for the computer. I've re-stored the iPod but to no avail.  Forums have indicated that we've moved the library, which we haven't.  Please help.

  • Original File Not Found Message

    I just upgraded this week and now I am getting a message that my entire library is missing. Stranger yet, I have all my files on an external hard drive and I'm having trouble locating them.
    I'm kind of baffled ... I have two iTunes library files in my iTunes folder and two older ones in my "past libraries" folder.

    You need to give a bit more information.
    Did you have your iTunes folder containing the library database - iTunes Library.itl on the internal disk or the external disk?
    Have you established for sure if your actual music files are still where they should be?
    If you music files are still there on the external drive and your iTunes folder is on the internal disk, it may just be a matter of setting the location of your iTunes Music folder with Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General. But without more info I can't tell for sure if this is the issue.

  • File not found message during load

    I am trying to ascertain what resource my built EXE can not find during startup. While the reource IS ultimately found, and the APP runs, it displays the "VI not found" dialog during load.
    Any good way to either silence this dialog box of ascertain programmatically which VI is in the wrong location?

    If you do have VI which is to be loaded dynamically...
    This VI might be of helpful in one way or another in the VI's calling path.
    Hope I got your problem right.

  • Music files not found by music app

    Hi,
    I tried putting some music on my Q10, but the music app does not find it, or rather only finds some of the files. The weird thing is that I've deleted and copied the music several times now, and the files recognised aren't the same.
    Any idea what might be the issue? is there a way to force the music app to rescan for files?
    Further info:
    - files are organised in subfolders artist/album/track
    - files were always in 'music' folder
    - it doesn't matter if the files are on the SD card or on the device
    - reboot does not help
    - each album folder contains an m3u playlist file, these are all recognized by the music app, even though the corresponding files aren't
    - it seems that only complete folders are missing, not individual tracks from a folder
    - all files appear in and are playable through the file browser
    [edit: The files being in subfolders isn't the problem, either. I moved some from their subfolder directly into music/, didn't help.]

    Would you be able to send a sample file to [email protected]?
    If so please send a file you have tested with your device; one that is stored under the music folder but is not being displayed in the UI.  I would like to see if I can also reproduce this issue you are seeing.
