Re-downloading deleted songs? (with a twist)

Hey all,
So I got a new iPhone and downloaded the new iTunes (haven't used either in many years) and I figured 'what the heck ill figure it out.' So in my haste I started clicking the "cloud" icon next to most of my albums thinking I had to download them on my PC.
Then I start reading about the iCloud and figure "oh, why do I need these on my PC if they play from the Cloud?" So I just went into my PC Users and Deleted the songs from My Music and then from my Trash Can.
Upon logging back into iTunes the albums are still in my Library but when I try to play any of the songs (about 90 of them) they all have the "Can't locate file" error.
I am looking for help on finding how I can redownload these songs. [I have already tried looking under hidden purchases]
Thanks for the help!

Delete the library entries and download them again:

And this time don't delete them!

  • How do I delete songs with iOS 4.2.1 on an iPad. No other Mac or PC availably?

    I own an iPad with version 4.2.1 on it and do not have an other PC or Mac to connect to. I can not delete songs or update my iOS version on my iPad. Any ideas . . . O_ o ?

    There are no other ideas. You need a computer to update the iPad. There is no alternative. As for the songs, without updating to iOS 5.1.1 you do not have the ability to remove the songs without unsyncing them from iTunes which once again means that you need a computer. In iOS 5 and up, you can delete the songs directly on the device, but not in earlier iOS versions.
    You can take the iPad to an Apple Store and they can update it for you, but you will lose everything on the iPad unless you can back it up on another computer, restore from that backup and then download all of your content again.
    Bottom line - you must have a computer and do this through iTunes or you are stuck.

  • Cannot download all songs with 7.1.5

    I have Itunes 7.1.5, and when I go to download some songs it says cannot download songs without 7.2 or better. But I've had problems with new versions, and there to fast for my computer. Infact the version I've got now is so fast I can't even watch my videos that I could with my older version. So what can be done about this? I wish I could down grade more, but I can't.

    Here's a wild idea that I'm curious to try out on your computer:
    Try reinstalling iTunes. Go to "Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs". Select "iTunes" and delete the program off your computer.
    Then, download iTunes 7.0.2 again here -> iTunes 7.0.2.16 installer
    Restart your computer after full installation of iTunes 7.0.2. Then, connect your iPod, and see if error (-69) appears again when syncing.

    No, sorry, we can't do anything since we're all just fellow users in these forums. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • Re-Downloading Deleted Songs

    Hi there. I'm a long time iTunes user - and I've purchased quite a few songs from Apple. Recently, however, some of the purchased songs needed re-loaded onto my computer. To make a long story short, a few of them did not make the transfer. They're lost! I'd like the songs back, but I don't feel like I should be held responsible for re-purchasing them. Is there anyway that I can re-download all songs that I've purchased in the past? If not, can I at least re-download a couple of the songs?

    You're supposed to have backups of your music.
    *+Why do I need to back up my music library?+*
    +Be sure to make regular backups of your music files (in your iTunes Music folder) by copying them to an external hard disk or other media. Otherwise, if your hard disk becomes damaged or you lose any of the music you've purchased, you'll have to buy any purchased music again to rebuild your library.+
    You can contact ITMS (at the bottom of that page) and ask if they will let you re-download those lost songs.

  • How to delete songs with ios 7

    I don't know how to delete my songs that I want to delete on my  music

    Everyone,
    In order to delete some of the songs that are not delete(able?) you have to first re-download them from the cloud. There just seems to be some confusion with the itunes match having songs show up that are not actually on your machine therefore, you aren't able to delte them.
    -'Settings > Music' and toggle OFF "Show All Music"
    -delete all the songs you are able to download.
    -make a note of all teh songs you can't and then,
    -'Settings > Music' and toggle ON "Show All Music"
    -go back to iTunes on your device and re-download (click on the cloud icon) all the songs you noted in the last step
    -Once they're all downloaded on to your device,
    -go back to 'Settings > Music' and toggle OFF "Show All Music"
    and the songs you donwloaded should be the only ones showing up.
    -Delete those and you should have a "media on deivce" or something
    -go back to 'Settings > Music' and toggle ON "Show All Music"
    -and you should have a clean iTunes Match library.

  • Take account online to download message error WITH a twist

    Mail is telling me that "The message from _ concerning _ has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    I've looked over many posts here about this problem, and many solutions involve moving the correlating .mbox folder to the desktop, re-opening mail, and rebuilding.
    Here's the twist - I can't find my .mbox file, or the mailbox in Mail, but I can find all the "non-downloaded" messages when searching from within Mail. All the messages, until today, were in the mailbox that is now missing.
    Where did my .mbox file go, and how can I restore the messages?
    24" Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   2.33 Ghz, 2GB RAM, 7600GT

    Have you checked whether the missing mailbox is within some other folder? If the mailbox is nowhere to be seen in ~/Library/Mail/ and Spotlight doesn’t find anything, that means the messages are gone and what you’re seeing in Mail are just the entries that remain in the index — Mail displays that bogus error messages because it cannot find the *.emlx file associated with the message where the index says it should be. Re-creating the index would “fix” the problem by getting rid of the phantom entries, but won’t make the messages reappear.
    Before doing anything, if the messages are gone and you don’t have a backup, you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
    You should also verify/repair the disk (not just permissions), as described in the following article, in case there is some filesystem corruption that has a bearing on what happened:

  • Re-download purchased song with missing content

    How do I re-download a purchased song which apparently completed, but download only contains 3+ minutes of song which is over 4??

    Depending upon what country that you are in then try deleting the song from your iTunes library and then redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Deleting songs with 12.1.0

    I know this is ridiculous, but the new 12.1.0 is so different.  I can't figure out how to delete my songs???  Thanks Smokey

    There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer).  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using:" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).
    Another possible remedy relates to a potential clash between the 64-bit version of iTunes 12 and Google Chrome; some users have reported that uninstalling Chrome (not just not having it running) resolves the iTunes playback issues without having to install the alternative version referred to above.
    Finally, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • Deleting Songs with Exclamation Mark (!) in Bulk

    I have hundreds of songs, all (I think) duplicates that have an exclamation mark in the left most column. All these need to be deleted - is there a quick way of doing this or do they all have to be done manually.
    I can't work out how to order the first column to put them all together. And I realise they represent songs that iTunes can't find.
    Thanks...

    You can do this with a script called itunesremovenotfound which you can find here:
    http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
    Or if you prefer to say in iTunes, iT can be done with a combination of playlists:
    Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
    Select whole library and drag to Playlist1
    Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
    This playlist should contain all the dead tracks
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5696793#5696793
    Once you have all the dead tracks in a playlist, they can be deleted together.

  • CME 8.x - 6921 Phones not downloading loads.. with a twist.

    I'm using CME 8.x on a 3800 ISR, and a couple of 6921 phones.  Two of them have ~8.5.3 code, the others have 9.x code (phone loads).  If I'm understanding things correctly, the phone should be downloading the published phone load via TFTP from CME if what it has already installed doesn't match (either an upgrade or downgrade).
    So here's what I'm seeing.
    The scenario:
    The phone load files exist in a folder on the flash. (/phone).
    The TFTP server is configured with the appropriate information on the loads (and aliasing the path)
    tftp-server flash:/phone/BOOT69xx.0-0-0-14.zz alias BOOT69xx.0-0-0-14.zz
    tftp-server flash:/phone/DSP69xx.0-0-0-3.zz alias DSP69xx.0-0-0-3.zz
    tftp-server flash:/phone/SCCP69xx.8-5-3-0.zz alias SCCP69xx.8-5-3-0.zz
    TFTP is working fine, I've tested it with a TFTP client. 
    Telephony services is configured with the name of the load load 6921 SCCP69xx.8-5-3-0
    telephony-service
      load 6921 SCCP69xx.8-5-3-0
    The ephones are configured to use a common ephone template, and are configured as the proper model.
    The problem:
    The phone will power on, request the CNF files, request the SCCP*.loads file, and then just when I think it'll download the actual load itself (.zz file), the phone registers, and that's it.  Nothing I do seems to force the phone to kick into upgrade mode. It just jumps straight into SCCP registration.
    What gives? I don't see anything that I'm doing wrong here.   I've tried deleting and recrating the CNF files, no dice. I've tried resetting the phone to factory defaults, no dice .Watching wireshark, it's asking for and receiving the SCCP69xx.8-5-3-0.loads file (which has the correct .zz files listed in it - this is all stock CME stuff) but those .zz files are never requested or transferred via TFTP. 
    Would love some thoughts on this.

    What firmware are you upgrading from that going to 8.5.3 is failing on?  Certain versions of firmware need a step upgrade to go to 8.5.3.  Try upgrading the devices to 8.5.2 first, and then go to 8.5.3.

  • Cannot download anymore songs with only 27.84 taken up

    My capacity is showing full when I sync with other 27.84 songs and then a yellow line showing no free space?  I have a Fifth Generation ipod that is supposed to hold 7500 songs.  I don't know what else is taking up so much space?  How can I find out what else is on the hard drive of my ipod?

    Have you emptied the Trash?
    If you have downloading a copy of OmniDiskSweeper might be able to help you to figure out what is eating up your disk space.
    640 MB is far too little free space on your drive. There is an extreme likelihood of this small amount of free space having corrupted the directory on your disk. I would recommend that as soon as you get some free space that you boot from the Install DVD for your Mac and use Disk Utility to repair the disk. Once you finish that as long as it finishes without error then repair permissions.

  • Deleting songs with Itunes

    I want to delete a lot of songs from my computer. I can delete the songs in Itunes, but they're still on my harddisk. Is there any way that I can delete a song in Itunes and that it's also removed from my harddisk?

    Hey there,
    When you delete the music file does a small dialog box come up asking you what you would like to do with the files? It might say keep the files in the library or send them to the recyclable bin. You want to choose the recyclable bin and them empty it the recyclable bin when you are finished deleting music from your library.
    If the warning box does not come up, you may need to reset the warnings in iTunes. To do this, head the Edit drop down menu and choose Preferences. When the Preferences menu pops up, click on the Adavanced tab at the top. In the middle of the window you will see a button to reset all dialog warnings. See if this helps.
