Problem with songs in wrong folder

Hello,
Please bear with me. I am not very good with the technical aspects of computers and with iTunes. I bought an iPhone 3GS (8GB) last week. I tried to sync it today. The apps that I had d/l from the app store on iTunes tranferred fine into the iPhone but the music and podcasts did not. I also had taken the micro SD card with a few songs in it and copied them into my PC. I then turned on itunes and noticed there were exclamation points next to the songs I transferred from the micro SD card. Long story short I tried to get the exclamation points off, I somehow moved ALL my songs from the files they were in to another one on my PC and now NONE of the songs I have in my library will play, they all have ! when I click on them, they all say to locate them and then a box pops up with the folders on my desktop. I also don't want to sync all the songs I have onto the iPhone and I know I can make playlists and then pick and choose from there. But I cna't make any playlists since all the songs are in another folder, when I highlight them in iTunes to make a playlist it won't do it.
I just want all my songs to play without any hassle and be able to transfer over to my iPhone. Can someone please help me. thank you

+I also had taken the micro SD card with a few songs in it and copied them into my PC. I then turned on itunes and noticed there were exclamation points next to the songs I transferred from the micro SD card.+
This happens a lot. iTunes was looking for them to still be on the micro SD card, but it was gone from the PC.
The fix is to go to itunes preferences > advanced tab. Put a checkbox in "Copy files to itunes Media folder when adding...."
Transfer the files again, so they will get copied to your PC's hard drive and not stay on the micro SD card.
On to the 2nd problem, moving files around in Windows Explorer. iTunes will lose track of them, as you discovered. So then you changed the itunes media folder to the new location? That's great, except that only affects FUTURE additions.
Can you put them back in the original place? Undo the rename in WIndows Explorer, in other words.

Problem with song names

Hey, I'm having this problem with song names. For example, instead of the song title being "Song Title" it will be like "Artist Name - Song Title". It's like this for half my files. I'm trying to organize my music files and every time I fix it, it keeps going back.
This has happened to me before and usually if I double click it, it will automatically change. This time, nothing seems to work except doing it manually ("Get Info)" and that would take too long since I have 7,000 files like this. I posted this on another board and somebody said to right click the songs and click Update ID3 v2.4 which originally worked, but now nothing but manually doing it works.
This is like this when I open it for other programs, but I know iTunes caused. I think it has something to do with the "Keep my iTunes Folder Organized" check because iTunes renames the file. I also tried reinstalling itunes and readding my files.
Thanks for any help!

I don't completely understand what you are trying to say, but iTunes doesn't automatically change your tag information.
iTunes stores a copy of the tag information in the library database. When you play a track, iTunes re-reads the tag information from the song file and updates the library data. This produces the efferct that iTunes appears to change tag information but it isn't, it is meerly reflecting a change that already happend.
Do you have any other software on your PC that can automatically change tag information? For example Windows Media player can do it if you select an option to retrieve data from the internet and overwrite existing info. But other software may do it too.
If you want to force iTunes to re-read all tags, go to your Music view and go to Edit>>Select All. Then right click in the selection and choose Get Info. Don't change anything, just exit by clicking OK. iTunes will update the library with the tag information from the song files.

If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match. iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers. It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

Problems with song's names in iTunes Store

So, I have a problem with song's names in iTunes Store on my iPhone 6+ 128. with 8.2
You can see it on attached screens.
I tried to change the font size and erase the phone and then install it again by default. The problem manifests itself on 6+ and didn't on my iPad with the same program version.

That's really curious. Sorry I don't have anything else by way of potential solutions to offer, but it may be worth contacting Apple about this one.

[SkyDrive] Files can't be uploaded because there's a problem with a file or folder.

On Windows 8.1 RTM, the SkyDrive metro client shows a message that "Files can't be uploaded because there's a problem with a file or folder." and lists one particular file. When I installed the PC, I have switched then Access all files offline
option to On.
The file resides in a directory I have deleted from the disk. When attempting to get rid of this "problem" (as there are no hints nor UI available) I have manually checked that the directory does not exists on the disk any more, as well as deleting
the directory from cloud storage using a web browser. However, the message is still there.
Restarting the computer several times nor keeping it idle for a significant amount of time did not help.
How to get rid of that "problem" / how to fix it?

Hi
Let’s try to redirect the skydrive folder and sync again to see what’s going on:
1. Open regedit and find following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SkyDrive
2. Change “UserFolder” to another location.
3. Open the SkyDrive Metro app to confirm your files and new directory.
Then check the issue again.

Problems with songs skipping in ITunes Library

I recently transferred my Itunes from an old PC based computer to a new PC based laptop (GateWay M Series - Windows Vista). After that I upgraded to Itunes 8.1. I am now experiencing the problem with songs in my Library skipping after about 5 seconds into the song. I have my library sorted alphabetically, sometimes after the 5 seconds it skips down 10-15 songs before it lands on one that it plays all the way through. In one instance it played all the way through on 3 songs from the same album - only to start skipping after 5 seconds into the 4th song. It doesn't happen on every song. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the types of songs this happens with - some of them were purchased songs, some were from CDs. I tried uninstalling the Library and then reinstalling - figuring that my library was corrupted. But - it is still doing it - only now it is doing it on different songs than before. Again no rhyme or reason. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I can do to fix this!! My husband and son were able to transfer their libraries from the old PC to their new PC laptops and they haven't had this problem with their libraries!

ITunes saves dropped songs to wrong folder

Because of the size of my MP3 ad WAV music collection, I store my song files onto a SAS RAID array instead in my user's Music folder. The path to this folder ls "/Volumes/Audio Storage/Music". This has worked fine for quite a while, but I've built a new Lion system for audio work and things have gotten odd.
My starting settings in the Advanced section are both Keep iTunes folder organizaed and Copy files off. I then drag and drop the folder into the Music panel of iTunes and after a few minutes, all 50K± songs are imported. I then go into preferences and eable Copy Songs for any new music. Last night I imported Fr/action's entire library and the import succeeded, but this morning I noticed that the songs had been imported int9o a new Music folder within my specified folder - "/Volumes/Audio Storage/Music/Music". While doesn't present a problem with playback or logically managing the collection, I'm curious as to why iTunes added the new folder instead of just copying the new group / album / song hierarchy into the defined folder?
Is this a bug, or am I missing some setting?

Hi I am having similar problems.
I recently bought an external hard drive that i wish to run my music and itunes library off of, i have an ipod and iphone 3gs. I am having problems with it not updating the apps in the folder i have a designated and sending all updates to a newly created folder (which i have deleted) in the c drive being music in an itunes folder, But i want it to go to the external hard drive. My itunes importing and all files have been moved to this external hard drive. itunes is being completely run off the external being installed on there as i thought that might be why its creating this folder on the c drive, with itunes library.itl, itunes extras and genius.itdb, and itunes music library.xml

Nano 2nd Generation, Problems with Songs ???

Hello, I have transfered songs from my iTunes to my Nano and there is 2 songs that play for couple of seconds than just stops and goes to the next song. Weird thing is when i go to play the song directly from iTunes it plays normally. I have also downloaded the songs to my Ipod Video 30gb and the same exact songs play normal with no problems. ?????? I just dont understand whats wrong. I have even did the 5 R's and restored my Nano and still the same problems with just those 2 songs. I could just go without those 2 songs but, it just makes me curious to why it works in iTunes and on my Ipod Video 30gb, but not on the Nano. If you have had this problem before or know of a solution your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for taking the time to read this...
Ipod Nano 2nd Generation Other OS Windows Vista

I have this exact same problem, but after doing the 5 R's it is now cutting songs short that didn't have that problem before. Unlike Junz, I can't live with random songs being cut off. I am very interested in an answer as well.

Problem with song tracks order

I seem to have this problem with only one album. Even though each song in the album has been correctly identified by its track number it still shows up in iTunes in the wrong order. This is especially annoying because the album has gapless playback and since all the tracks are in the wrong order I can't listen to it as I normally would.

Yeah... same thing happened when I downloaded Season 2 of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. They all transfered over fine, but in complete wrong order. *****, because the show follows a serial time-line and now it's all messed up.
Anyone help?

Hard drive died - multiple problems with backed up home folder

My friend called me when she started having some problems with her home iMac. After we did went through a myriad of troubleshooting items, I determined that her hard drive was failing and suggested she backup her home folder immediately to another drive. She copied her home folder over to her old Mac and took the iMac into the Apple Store for further diagnostics. Sure enough, her hard drive had failed and they replaced it for her.
She reinstalled Leopard and set it up with a new account. We tried using the Migration Assistant to copy her old home folder back over but because she copied it rather than using Time Machine, Migration Assistant doesn't see it as a viable home folder. I'm very comfortable using the Terminal since I support both Macs and Linux in my department so I logged in as root and copied over her folders to the new account. That generally worked but we now have a ton of permissions problems of which Disk Utility doesn't fix. I'd like to start fresh again from her backed up home folder. So my question is if I can't use Migration Assistant to move over her old home folder, how do you make OS X see her old home folder as a viable account? (I hope this makes sense.)
Thanks in advance!

I would suggest the following.
make a new temp admin account and get rid of the new account she made already. log in as the temp user and copy the old home folder from the external to /Users. then go to system preferences->accounts and make a new account with the same short user name as the name of her old home folder. It will say that a home directory by that name already exists and ask if you want to use it. say "yes". this should recreate that user and take care of all permissions issues.

Please help I have problems with songs,podcasts,and just general media play

hey guys, I'll get straight into it. My problem is that many of the songs and podcasts in my library come up with the little exclamation mark when I havn't changed anything or deleted anything, so I have to find the original files, which occasisionally just dissapear for no apparent reason. Also I have problems with d/l podcasts as sometimes it wont d/l the newest edition etc but comes up with the little '!' mark. I have just upgraded to iTunes 7 and although the problem was occuring before the upgrade just aggravated it, and messed up my library files causing me to revert to an older library.
Now last and most importantly, my audio has suddenly become choppy since I upgraded. This is similar to the problem I have with the sound in Quicktime only working properly if I keep all other apps and tasks to a bare minimum (even if they take up barely any system resources). This seems strange as my system is not exactly poor performance.
Thanks in advance guys !

Hi,
If you right click a file, and do getinfo on the summary page this will give a file location, is this matching the file location on your hard disk? If not that might explain the exclamation marks?
Kind Regards

Problem with song transferring

I am having a serious problem with my iPod. When I try to transfer songs onto it, after about 20 songs, the transfer process will begin to slow down dramatically by pausing on several random songs. Eventually, if the amount of music i'm trying to transfer is large enough, the transfer process, and iTunes, will freeze, and when I eject my iPod no songs seem to have transfered and the iPod is empty. If only transfer 20 or 30 songs onto it I have no problem listenening to them, it is only when a certain amount of songs are on it (or being transferred to it, I'm not sure.) The iPod is a replacement for a broken one, and it has only suffered on drop, although it was semi-hard. If anyone has any advice please let me know, I've tried everything I can think of.

you could try to manually load everything. It would still take a long time. but if you do it in like album batches it might make it through.
good luck

Problems with songs in iTunes

Hi, I am having problems with iTunes, in that whenever I rename a song (fix up the title, album info, etc) it will often revert back to the old settings and information about a week later. Almost always, it will lose the track number (not the actual track number, but the second total number of tracks for the CD, "# of #" and will put gibberish " 00000991 00000619 00002C8E 00001B1A 000295F0 0003074A 00008000 00008000 00007170 00007170" in the comments section as well as deleting the cover art. The problem is, it doesn't just do it once, it has recently done it again for about half of my iTunes library. It is very irritating.
Also, it only does it with .mp3 files, the .m4a files are always perfect. I don't want to have to rip my entire library to CDs and re-rip it back to my computer in .m4a format, but if I get desperate I might have to (15ish MB worth of music). Just looking for any suggestions before I have to resort to something that drastic. Thank you!
