My computer isnt able to "locate the song(s)" in itunes...HELP!!!

So I downloaded some songs a couple of weeks ago and forgot to load them on to my ipod. A few days later when I went to load it on itunes told me it couldnt locate the music. So then I tried to listen to it on itunes and a ! came up next to the song and told me that it couldnt locate the song. Now I cant listen to any of my songs on itunes. What do I do? Please help!!

Anytime the songs are moved out of one folder in windows and into another iTunes looses track of where it is. You will have to locate where the songs are on your harddrive and then when you click on the song in itunes, a pop up will come saying it can not locate it and will give you the option to locate it.

If I delete my songs from my "Downloads" folder, have them in my "Trash" and then delete them from my "Trash", will I still be able to play the songs on my iTunes or will they be deleted on my iTunes as well?

I want to clear some space on my Mac since it is filling up and I don't have much room left on it. I want to delete all my songs from my "Downloads" folder and then delete them from my "Trash" to free up space however, I'm worried that if I do this then iTunes will not play any of the songs I deleted.
Will I still be able to play my songs on iTunes even if they are not in my "Downloads" or "Trash" folders?
Thank you.

All tracks in iTunes (if you use default settings) should be in various artist and album folders in the main media folder in the iTunes folder. You can right click a track to reveal its location in Finder. If there's a copy there then it doesn't really matter what you do with other copies.
I have never downloaded from iTunes but I thought it placed files directly in the correct locations, or is this some other downloads folder to which you are referring?
Normally if you download a file from another source and add it to iTunes by dragging it there, or using the Add To menu item, it places a copy of the file in iTunes. You can discard the original, but if you're concerned you can check which copy iTunes is actually using as above.

Help! I can't see the songs listed in ITUNES!

I am not that computer literate, but since last night I have not been able to see the song list in ITUNES. How can I buy a song if I dont see it listed? I have have been downloading songs without difficulty for months. What gives?

Angela,
Welcome to the forums. You need to be running iTunes 4.9 or later to use the iTunes Music Store. This is a very recent change. Go HERE and download the latest version.

I purchased my first iTune song on my computer in FL. I am now back in IL. Am I able to find the song for my IL computer?

For the first time I downloaded iTunes on my computer in Illinois about 2 months ago. I never bought a tune. I went to Florida and downloaded iTunes on my computer in Florida. I then purchased my first iTune. When I came back to Illinois I thought i would be able to find the song I had downloaded in Florida but I cannot find/access it. Did I do something wrong by not preparing the song while in FL for access in IL? Can I access the song now from my IL computer? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine.
This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file

I want to play a song I bought but when I press play it says I need to authorize my PC but when I put in my Apple ID it says its already authorized. What should I do to be able to play the song?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

I want to add the songs from itunes to my ipod without deleting all of the songsd because it gives me that option

When I try to play some of the songs in my itunes library, I get a prompt saying the file could not be used. When I hit the "locate" button, it still won't locate the file. I didn't delete any of these tracks and there is no common link between them.

I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?

You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

TS4006 If I'm receiving a message "all devices are online, but cannot be located" what can I do to be able to locate the devices on a map?

If I'm receiving a message "all devices are online, but cannot be located" what can I do to be able to locate the devices on a map?

My understanding is that a device must have access to either WiFi, a cellular network, or (best) GPS in order to establish a location. Of course iPhones can access all three and iPads also if they incorporate cellular. However, Mac computers don't have GPS or cellular.
So if a Mac is connected to Internet via Ethernet to a LAN and not WIFi it will not be able to establish a location. Anyway, that's my experience.

If you're using Mac OS X, click on Store and choose Authorize Computer.
