No longer able to download podcasts, get an exclamation mark on left of episode listing after clicking download icon

HT3281 Only get an exclamation mark when I try to download one certain podcast.

I am having problems downloading one podcast from iTunes. They are only ones after a certain date. I get an exclamation mark next to the podcast. I am able to download them from the actual webpage though.

Shadow--hey thanks for the reply. No all the songs are in C drive on my computer. I do have an external drive as backup (Sync-Toy) but all my songs are on C. I was thinking of trying to delete ITUNES and Quiktime and reinstall. Do you think that would work? Jeff

I downloaded iTunes 11.1 and when I went to open iTunes after the download, all of my music, podcasts, playlists, etc were missing. The only thing in my iTunes now is my purchased items. Does anyone know how to get my content back in my iTunes?

ITunes has recently began corrupting my music library and my Podcasts. An exclamation mark has appeared at the beginning of a random number of songs and against some Podcasts with the result that they will not play on iTunes. Message is that iTunes cannot

iTunes has recently began corrupting my Music and some of the Podcasts. An exclamation mark appears at a random selection of songs - about a thoussanad of them - and they will not play as iTunes says that it cannot locate the file. This also has happened on a number of Podcasts. Any one else encountered this?

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, if you are running Windows (you've posted in iTunes for Windows, but your sig mentions Mac OS X...), and 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.

Iphoto photos not opening get black exclamation mark

iphoto photos not opening get black exclamation mark when open thumbnails

Not sure what you meant by "missing till" but all of the photos and movies are there. I concluded that searching for several photos by their file name and then opening them with Preview.
I'm pretty certain that I only used the Picasa desktop app to test using the Picasa web service for some family photos. I don't think I used it to edit any photos in the iPhoto library but I suppose it's possible that I did without really thinking about it.
Why to I have tiffs? - As far as I know I don't. They are all jpg or mov files. I can't imagine why that error dialog said I was missing a tiff.
I just noticed based upon your suggestion to review the package contents. I have folders for Modified and Originals which I've seen before. But I also have folders for Photos - Modified and Photos - Original. I haven't seen those last two before. Moreover, all but 6 of my latest photos are in those last two folders. iPhoto can show me their thumbnails but can't open them. iPhoto can open the 6 photos in the "Original" folder. I didn't notice that before because they represent a very small portion of my library and I didn't select the right photos.
iPhoto Library Manager could see only those 6 photos in the Original folder. There are none in "Modified". So iPLM obviously can't see the photos in Photos - Modified or in Photos - Original. Looking at the Info for these two folders, I see they were created on January 7, well more than a month before I downloaded Picasa. Somehow all but 6 of my photos got moved to these new folders. I must have done something to cause this but I have no clue what.
Sorry this is so long but usually details are important. Do you recommend that I use the Merge Libraries function in iPLM?
Thanks!

I am getting an exclamation mark when I am selecting my color

When I try to select my background or font color I keep getting an exclamation mark. Help

Also if you select a font color while using the Type Tool, you must click the color swatch in the Type Tool options bar, not the the ones at the bottom of the Toolbox.
I should also mention the black triangle in the color picker means it is not a printable (CMYK offset press) color. If you are displaying your work on screen you can click OK to accept the color you want.

I cannot find my downloaded podcasts in my iPad Air music app. Where do I click next?

Where are my recently downloaded podcasts in my iPad Air? I have the Podcast App; I went to the Music App. as one person suggested and the inquiring party was successful. I'm missing a step here.

If you downloaded them using the IOS Podcasts app they will be in there. Open Podcasts and then select "My Podcasts" found in the lower left part of the screen. You should now see them. Many other apps also download podcasts. For instance I download a lot of radio station podcasts using the radio app TuneIn Radio. The only way to play them back is to use TuneIn. The IOS app "Podcasts" has no idea they exist.

I cannot pull up pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle

I cannot open pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get this exclamation point inside a triangle

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How can i move my HDD and not get all exclamation marks?

I am having issues with my mouse and keyboarda nd need to plug them into the motherboard USB ports. But I was told earlier today that my external HD has to be in the one it was in when I synced it up, so if I move it across to a different port, how can i stop it from giving me 17000+ exclamation marks?

You probably don't want to run your external through a hub either. As long as your external drive is assigned the same drive letter iTunes should find the files on it but I noticed your other thread where someone suggested that you should use the same port as earlier. What happens if close iTunes, switch ports, confirm you have the same drive letter then restart iTunes? What other devices do you have that assign drive letters? Windows may assign these in a particular order as your system boots up but you should also be able to take control and assign a specific letter to a specific device.

Podcast subscriptions screwy, exclamation mark, resubscribing doesn't work

I did a search on this first, but I didn't find anything. If you know it's already posted, please just direct me to that URL.
I know how to deal with the exclamation mark regarding missing songs -- no problem there. But lately I've had some podcasts evidently lose their subscriptions. These podcasts are still coming out regularly, and I listen to pretty much everything every week, so it's not the lack of use.
Finding the "!" in the column to the left, I click on the podcast's arrow to take me to the iTunes page. I hit "Subscribe" again. Still the "!"
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I went to the Apple Store for a One to One last week on several issues, but that guy didn't have a clue on this one. He recommended seeing a Genius for this and a couple of my other more technical issues. Sometime in the next week or so I'm hoping to set that up. If I do get any more clarification, I'll post it here.

When i click on my pictures I get an exclamation mark

I have all my pictures on iphoto and when I went to click on a thumbnail the picture turns to a dark exclamation mark. How do I get back my pictures?

That's an indication that iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original files in the library package. Also it helps to include your system version and version of iPhoto in your original post. Saves us guessing. The following is for iPhoto 9.4.
Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

App updates not down loading after clicking download all updates

Hi
My iTunes said I had 16 app updates to download, so I clicked download all updates and a waring message (saying along hte lines of some are ages restrictec) so I clicked ok again but the downloads didn't start. I've just upgraded to Lion too, would this be the cause? Yet if I click on the get updates under each individual app it will start the download.
Cheers
