Please Help! simple ? on updating Library

There must be simple method of doing this but I can't figure it out! I was cleaning up my hard drive and deleted a lot of old music that I don't listen to anymore. Problem is, when I open my iTunes library, the music is still listed and just won't play anymore. Is there a way to update my library to reflect what I've dumped or do I have to do each song indididually?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You have whats called dead/broken links. This happens when you manually delete the song(s) and is noted in iTunes with ! marks beside the names. You can use otto's script to quickly get rid of them here http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/QuickScripts.zip

  • HT4623 Please help me to update iOS 7.0.3

    Please help me to update iOS 7.0.3

    Read though the article you referenced to find out how to update to the latest iOS level (which is now iOS 7.0.4)
    See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier.  Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier.  You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

  • Please help me tp update my iPhone 5, because after updating to ios 7 I can no longer update and restore my phone? it always error

    please help me to update and restore my iphone 5? beacause after updating to iOS 7, i can no longer updater and restore my phone. it always comes in error

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.

    1. Go to the “Preferences” folder (Win: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    2. Delete “Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs” should it be there
    3. Rename the “Preferences” folder to “PreferencesXY”
    4. Start LR5 – it should now start and create a new LR5 catalog
    Of course, the user may not want a new catalog ... in fact, most people don't want a new catalog ...

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Please help I cannot update my Keynote

    Please help I cannot update my Keynote.I am trying to download the update but the message that I get says: The application could not be downloaded the file keyedobjects.nib couldnt be saved in the folder "com.apple.iwork.keynote.Gizmo.Turntable.nib" and it prompts me to retry but everytime I get the same report.

    try goind to apple, support, type keynote update in the search box and download the version you need.
    Also one or more of your third party apps could be the prolem. You can try uninstalling them one at a time till the download goes, then re-install them.
    Make a back up FIRST!

  • Please Help - Novice - ITunes update lost my sound.

    I have spent all day trying to sort this out, please help.
    My IPhone asked me to update ITunes to the latest version, I did this, updated the IPhone as well and then added some music, after it synced I noticed my sound icon had gone and when I tried to play music/video's there was no sound on the computer at all.
    I uninstalled ITunes and Quick time and re-installed, no change, I did a system restore back a day and the sound came back but ITunes reverted to the older version and when I plugged in the IPhone is said it could not access it as the library was created on a newer version.
    I use windows XP, have checked the Sound in Control Panel and nothing is registered, Direct X says no sound card attached, I have tried downloading Direct X again, in the Devices Manager is has a Multimedia device listed with the yellow? mark, I have gone through trying to update drivers but nothing works.
    The only way I can get the sound back is a system restore but then ITunes is out of date and will not access my phone, if I then update ITunes from the website it takes off the sound again so I am going round in circles, has anyone else had this problem or has anyone got any advise.. please keep in mind I am not very technical..

    try just move the .dll file from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes (or C:\Program Files\iTunes for window 32 bit) to desktop. reboot should fix it. if not you have to reinstall itunes(http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923) choose repair if one component does not work.

  • HT201413 I have been trying to restore my iphone 4s for 5 hours, please help! The update wouldn't work and now when I connect the iphone it says I have to resore in order to start using itunes but I am getting an error msg. HELP!

    I am trying to update a 4s. The update did not work for some reason. Now I need to restore the iPhone. When I connect the usb to the computer and phone it says I need to restore. So, I click to restore. It starts extracting the software. But I am continually getting the same error message that it cannot complete for unknown error. I have been working on this for 5 and a half hours. I'm tired, mu husband needs his phone and apple support is a joke and of course I can't find any answers anywhere. Please help!

    Hi MB2751,
    As an iPhone user myself, I know it must be very much a problem to have the phone out of service because of an error such as you are seeing. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • PLEASE HELP - Simple movieclip click to URL is NOT working... Why???

    Here is my code.
    ondemand.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goThere);

    This should work!! There are no compilation errors...
    No mouse cursor change on hover... just like nothing is there.
    Please help...   

    I am overall confused by your description of what you have, especially when you get to doubleclicking the movie and assigning code in it.
    In any case, you need to assign the name (the same name) to every instance of a tweened object. The lack of a name in earlier frames will be inherited by instances in subsequent frames
    I'm confused about your mention of 3 instances being in the library.  Just for clarity, an instance is a library symbol (or an object) that you place on the stage.  If you place two of the same objects on the stage, then you have 2 instances.  Items in the library are instance-wanna-bes.  If you have three different symbols in the library, and you are tweening them as if they were the same, your tween can't possibly work.

  • PLEASE HELP ME: Pink/Purple library everytime I open Itunes.

    I have no idea what I did. I have re-installed Itunes, Restarted my computer, and still my library is pink & purple. This is true for all of my libraries, including playlists & the white parts of the Itunes Store. Its all Pink & Purple. The rest of my computer is acting completely normally. I don't know what's going on. I don't like pink & purple. Please help me.

    Make sure that in your Display Settings colour is set to 32 bit. See this link for details: iTunes - Pink iTunes window under iTunes XP/Vista

  • Please help!  Security update disaster!

    Hello,
    I have read about the security update doing some ill things to peoples macs with their networks and such but mine seems a little stranger.
    After updating to the most recent security update, my mac restarted and had a "aqua" screen for almost 30 mins. With nothing else on the screen, i grew inpatient and restarted by pushing the power button for a few seconds. It restarted to an all black screen saying something about 'darwin kernel'. it asked for a login and password, but in an all black screen (think DOS). after trying different incorrect attempts it restarted and now I have to log in as fast as I can because the login screen only stays up for a few seconds before it dissapears. After I log in, the log in screen never goes away it constantly states that it is still logging in. The login screen is on top of everything and won't go away and cannot be covered.
    Everytime I restart I am asked to enter a password to get back on my wireless network. Also, my disk utility does not start up. it tries but it unexpectedly quits. I get a crash report that says ( exception: EXCBADACCESS (0X0001) CODES: KERNPROTECTIOINFAILURE (0X0002) AT 0X0000001c
    it seems like the rest of my programs work and my info is still here.
    someone please help.

    Hi Joseph
    The best thing would be to run Repair Disk from your Install Disk.
    The startup drive can only be repaired from another drive. Simply loading the install disk is not sufficient. You have to boot from the install disk.
    To do this: Insert the Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart, then continue to hold down the C key until the Apple logo appears.
    This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
    Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to Utilities and navigate to the Disk Utilities application.
    Select the start up drive, then follow the instructions in the First Aid pane where you can click on Repair Disk.
    If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
    After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.
    Once restarted normally run Repair Permissions. from the Disk Utility application found on your hard drive in Application/Utilities.
