Reconnecting missing tracks all at once?

When in the library I often click on a track only to find that the track is unconnected.  If I then use Windows Explorer I always end up finding the missing track which I presumably misfiled.  I then cut & paste the track into the folder 'Automatically add track to iTunes library' & this seems to be  just creating a shortcut to it.  At least this works. This fixes just one track I'm looking for a solution that is a more efficient way to reconnect all missing files in one hit.
Is it possible for instance to get a complete list on unconnected tracks & then have these tracks have shortcuts created for them?  Is there any better solution? 

Yeah,if you immediately close itunes, connect the missing exHD, and reopen itunes, everything should be OK.
You are only stuck with a 3-hour project if you panic and change a bunch of itunes stuff while the exHD is still missing.

  • List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks

    I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
    When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.

    This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
    To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list.

  • Collections Missing Files - Is there a way to fix them all at once?

    Hello,
    Due to new computer, all files has been moved to a new location.
    Obviously, the collections I have can't find them now and reporting "Missing Files".
    Now, I need to fix them by finding them folder by folder, and since the collections contains items from many folders, It will take hours to fix them all so I wondered if there is a way to tell Bridge about the new location of the files all at once.
    I hope I managed to explain what I'm looking for.
    Thank you,
    shlomit

    Which OS?  If on Windows you can find your Bridge collections list at (win 7 bridge cs6 example):
      C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\Collections
    The files in Collections folder are .filelist - text xml format.  You could copy filelists from the old system's Collections folder to the Bridge AppData Collections folder in your new system so long as all the referenced files listed in the collection filelists are in the same disks and folders on your new system.

  • HT1296 I downloaded an album from i Tunes to my i Phone 4 but somehow all but two of the tracks have deleted themselves from there. When I try to synch again (from a Windows pc) I can't upload the missing tracks again. they are playable from the PC but no

    I downloaded an album from i Tunes to my i Phone 4 but somehow all but two of the tracks have deleted themselves from there. When I try to synch again (from a Windows PC) I can't upload the missing tracks again. They are playable from the PC but not the i Phone. Any ideas?

    You may have to sync all your music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then sync it back on to fix this.

  • Bypass Plugins all at once on track

    is there anyway to by pass plugins without going through automation process?
    i'd ;like to bypass 5 plugs on master module all at once so i can hear effects in then out. right now i have to click on each one. is there maybe a command button that would bypass all plugs on track?
    thanks

    thanks
    Sadly, no. yes, that's a MAJOR oversight on the development side.
    2 workarounds:
    Save the plug-in chain as a channel strip setting, and the simply choose "reset channel strip" from the channel strip menu. This will clear out ALL plug-ins on that channel. Then simply select your channel strip pre-set again to load all plug-in and their saved settings back.
    This could also be accomplished by choosing "reset channel strip", and then hitting "undo" to undo that action, thus loading the plug-ins back in.
    Kind of "clunky", I know, but we do what we need to do to acquire the results we're after...

    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, 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.
    If, on the otherhand, you've been cleaning up your media from Explorer rather than iTunes and just want to eliminate the now broken links, use Tunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

  • Can I recconect missing tracks this way?

    When I setup i Tunes on my new PC & went to connect it to the library I found that many hundreds of songs are listed as can't be found. I know that the songs are there & I can reconnect them one at a time successfully but this is very slow when there are so many to do. I'm wondering it there is another way.
    For instance can i Tunes give me a list of every unconnected track so that I can delete these false references all at once?
    If I can do that first step what would happen if I were then to tell i Tunes to import every track again. I know that it would find the missing tracks but would then then be duplicated? Would these tracks still have any data that had been corrected?
    Would using that TuneUp program for i Tunes help in doing this?

    I finally have the programing running. I looked at the different tabs & saw that none were unconnected. Since I knew that many tracks are unconnected & not being seen by i Tunes I altered the route to my i Tunes library within iTWF so that both programs were looking at he same files.
    This time the results were quite surprising since it listed 5210 tracks and this is about 20 more than i Tunes reports at the bottom of the page when I open the program. This seems wrong & impossible. Where did it go wrong?
    Even if this had reported a reasonable number of unconnected tracks I'm still wondering how to fix the problem. I had suggested that perhaps I could delete all unlinked tracks & then add all of the tracks listed in the i Tunes folder. What would the results be of doing this? What if I deleted ever track currently in library & then added all tracks in again? (All tracks are from my CD's & don't have copy protection) Would this result in duplicates & would the program still pick up the revised information that I had entered re track name, album name etc. as well as album covers?

  • Fetching many records all at once is no faster than fetching one at a time

    Hello,
    I am having a problem getting NI-Scope to perform adequately for my application.  I am sorry for the long post, but I have been going around and around with an NI engineer through email and I need some other input.
    I have the following software and equipment:
    LabView 8.5
    NI-Scope 3.4
    PXI-1033 chassis
    PXI-5105 digitizer card
    DELL Latitude D830 notebook computer with 4 GB RAM.
    I tested the transfer speed of my connection to the PXI-1033 chassis using the niScope Stream to Memory Maximum Transfer Rate.vi found here:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5273.  The result was 101 MB/s.
    I am trying to set up a system whereby I can press the start button and acquire short waveforms which are individually triggered.  I wish to acquire these individually triggered waveforms indefinitely.  Furthermore, I wish to maximize the rate at which the triggers occur.   In the limiting case where I acquire records of one sample, the record size in memory is 512 bytes (Using the formula to calculate 'Allocated Onboard Memory per Record' found in the NI PXI/PCI-5105 Specifications under the heading 'Waveform Specifications' pg. 16.).  The PXI-5105 trigger re-arms in about 2 microseconds (500kHz), so to trigger at that rate indefinetely I would need a transfer speed of at least 256 Mb/s.  So clearly, in this case the limiting factor for increasing the rate I trigger at and still be able to acquire indefinetely is the rate at which I transfer records from memory to my PC.
    To maximize my record transfer rate, I should transfer many records at once using the Multi Fetch VI, as opposed to the theoretically slower method of transferring one at a time.  To compare the rate that I can transfer records using a transfer all at once or one at a time method, I modified the niScope EX Timestamps.vi to allow me to choose between these transfer methods by changing the constant wired to the Fetch Number of Records property node to either -1 or 1 repectively.  I also added a loop that ensures that all records are acquired before I begin the transfer, so that acquisition and trigger rates do not interfere with measuring the record transfer rate.  This modified VI is attached to this post.
    I have the following results for acquiring 10k records.  My measurements are done using the Profile Performance and Memory Tool.
    I am using a 250kHz analog pulse source.
    Fetching 10000 records 1 record at a time the niScope Multi Fetch
    Cluster takes a total time of 1546.9 milliseconds or 155 microseconds
    per record.
    Fetching 10000 records at once the niScope Multi Fetch Cluster takes a
    total time of 1703.1 milliseconds or 170 microseconds per record.
    I have tried this for larger and smaller total number of records, and the transfer time per is always around 170 microseconds per record regardless if I transfer one at a time or all at once.  But with a 100MB/s link and 512 byte record size, the Fetch speed should approach 5 microseconds per record as you increase the number of records fetched at once.
    With this my application will be limited to a trigger rate of 5kHz for running indefinetely, and it should be capable of closer to a 200kHz trigger rate for extended periods of time.  I have a feeling that I am missing something simple or am just confused about how the Fetch functions should work. Please enlighten me.

    Hi ESD
    Your numbers for testing the PXI bandwidth look good.  A value of
    approximately 100MB/s is reasonable when pulling data accross the PXI
    bus continuously in larger chunks.  This may decrease a little when
    working with MXI in comparison to using an embedded PXI controller.  I
    expect you were using the streaming example "niScope Stream to Memory
    Maximum Transfer Rate.vi" found here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5273.
    Acquiring multiple triggered records is a little different.  There are
    a few techniques that will help to make sure that you are able to fetch
    your data fast enough to be able to keep up with the acquired data or
    desired reference trigger rate.  You are certainly correct that it is
    more efficient to transfer larger amounts of data at once, instead of
    small amounts of data more frequently as the overhead due to DMA
    transfers becomes significant.
    The trend you saw that fetching less records was more efficient sounded odd.  So I ran your example and tracked down what was causing that trend.  I believe it is actually the for loop that you had in your acquisition loop.  I made a few modifications to the application to display the total fetch time to acquire 10000 records.  The best fetch time is when all records are pulled in at once. I left your code in the application but temporarily disabled the for loop to show the fetch performance. I also added a loop to ramp the fetch number up and graph the fetch times.  I will attach the modified application as well as the fetch results I saw on my system for reference.  When the for loop is enabled the performance was worst at 1 record fetches, The fetch time dipped  around the 500 records/fetch and began to ramp up again as the records/fetch increases to 10000.
    Note I am using the 2D I16 fetch as it is more efficient to keep the data unscaled.  I have also added an option to use immediate triggering - this is just because I was not near my hardware to physically connect a signal so I used the trigger holdoff property to simulate a given trigger rate.
    Hope this helps.  I was working in LabVIEW 8.5, if you are working with an earlier version let me know.

  • Reconnecting missing files?

    I have a new computer with Windows7 and PSE9.  Because of the difficulty I had on my old PC with trying to reconnect missing files, I decided to start afresh on my new PC.  So, I put all my images from Windows Explorer onto an External Hard Disk and brought them into the Organiser on my new PC from there. So far so good; not a single ? mark in sight.  However, I was soon to be disillusioned because today, having assembled all my images into Albums, I was putting tags on them in one Album when, suddenly, yellow ?marks appeared on all the images in that Album.  But, as I scrolled down the Album, by click and drag on the vertical slider, the ?marks disappeared line by line only to reappear as soon as I lifted my finger off the mouse. I most certainly had not moved or touched the images outside PSE because I went straight to the Organiser on booting up and never left it until coming to this Forum.
    Looking back at previous posts on the forum I see the problem reappearing with monotonous regularity since 2005, with nobody seemingly to find a satisfactory answer.  One really would have thought that Adobe could have found an answer by now!!
    I wonder whether anybody has found an answer other than the painful use of the Reconnect command?

    Hi Geeone2009,
    Yellow question mark on top left of an image indicates that: that particular image is missing. The thumbnails you see in Organizer are just the 'shortcut' to the image. These are not your real images.
    As you know whenever you move/rename a file, corresponding shortcut gets broken. Organizer does the same. Whenever you move/rename (or both) media outside Organizer (from OS), then Organizer losses the track of that media. Consequently it will show a yellow question mark on top left corner of image.
    Your case is somewhat different from that mentioned above and the root to this problem lies with the handling of external hard drive (hdd) by windows OS. When you plugin a external hdd, Win OS recognizes it as an internal hard drive. As your media is on hdd so when you un-plug the hdd, the  media (which was present on hdd) gets missing in EO (elements organizer). If you images were on a removable drive (flash drive)/CD/DVD/Network locations, and if you unplug the source then your images will get offline (a red color badge will appear on your images).
    Now i will suggest the following steps-
    1. Plug-in your hdd.
    2. In EO select all images and click 'File->move'. Here give the location where you want to move (delete from hdd and copy it on system's internal hard drive).
    In case you don't have enough space on your hdd, then  you need to plugin your device whenever you want to do some editing.
    Let me know if you have any queries.

  • Finding missing tracks

    I've just moved a large iTunes library from an eMac to a new MacBook Pro, and I've got problems with missing tracks (with the exclamation mark next to them). 566 of them to be precise - I've created a smart playlist so that i can see which ones they are, and generally when I double click to find them I can do so. But it's going to take ages to locate them all individually - is there any way round this that doesn't lose play counts / ratings etc for the whole library (which would be a disaster)? Most solutions i've googled seem to involve losing that info, or starting again (which I've already done once).
    I suspect this problem may have come about because i didn't have enough free space on the eMac to consolidate the library before i moved it. Consequently the iTunes music folder is a bit of a mess...but having said that, it all works fine on the eMac.
    I would be incredibly grateful for any pointers on this.

    I have exactly the same problem just moved my libary from Windows laptop to Macbook pro (the music is stored on an external drive set up correctly) When I copied my ITL file and database files accross I got a whole load of missing or dear tracks not sure how many but I have to refind them all individually taking ages!!
    There must ba an easy answer to this!?

  • Help! itunes 12 wont allow users to redownload past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this?

    Help! For some reason i-tunes 12 wont allow users to re-download past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this? It will only allow you to download what it calls "Recent Purchases" which in my case only would allow 250 items. I know i have at least 700 tracks if not substantially more possibly over 2000 tracks but I can't be sure. I don't know how to find that information, I've looked in itunes under the my account past purchases but id doesn't tell you how many total songs you have purchased or any relevant details. It only shows you small chunks of receipts by date but no total tracks purchased in an easy to view snapshot that I could find. The current support page says that if you have more then 2000 songs the "ALL SONGS" tab now listed above the left pan with all your purchased artists, will change to "Recent Purchases". IF apple changed this on purpose to stop user from downloading there entire library to cut down on bandwidth they have really upset me this time. At present the only way I can download all past purchases is by selecting each artist listed in the left pan one by one selecting the "Download ALL" button at the bottom right corner of the page at which point I have to input my apple password each time, which really slows things down. I have hundreds of artists and if this is the only way for customers to re-download there entire library this is ridiculous and really unnecessary to put customers through this kind hassle just to re-download all there past purchases when the whole idea of i-cloud is to make downloading and using your music simple, quick, and convenient on multiple devices. I know the old saying "your responsible for backing up your data" yeah I know that and I've been doing that for years when no one really should ever have had too. There is no reason a service that sells music digitally should not allow customers to be able to re download content purchased on there service regardless of the fact that people should just back up anyway as an extra precaution. Well sometimes backups fail like in my case and I have to re-download. No wonder paid subscription plans are so popular. You don't have to deal with any of these issues. I can only hope this is some kind of oversight by apple and will be fixed soon. Can anyone offer a quicker solution or any information about this issue? I would greatly appreciate any helpful assistance.
    Again this is for Windwos 8.1 x64 with Itunes 12.0.1.26

    After spending way too much time dealing with this issue myself, I discovered that you can:
    - Within "My Music", select all the songs you need to download (all w/ the cloud icon - use Shift-Click)
    - Right click and select download
    All songs will begin downloading from iCloud

    I want to delete my duplicate songs, but I have thousands of songs and cannot realistically go through and review and delete them one at a time.  Can I do it all at once?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
