Refreshing Library when folders have been moved

I have to admit im new to iTunes, and so far im finding it good, apart from one major thing:
I have my library on an external drive because of its size, and ideally would like to be able to click and drag the albums i want to listen to at that time into my internal hard drive, and have only these albums show in my library. But i cant find any way to 'refresh' the library so that it removes the tracks that are no longer in the iTunes folder. All it does is show the exclamation mark and tell me it cant locate the song which is driving me mad! Is there anyway i can update the library on a regular basis to only show the tracks i have in the iTunes folder at present, not every song it has ever played? Thanks for your help and apologies if this is a really stupid question!!

I'm eagerly awaiting an answer to this question as well. So is the bottom line, there is no "refresh" button in iTunes to force it to update the library to reflect folder name changes, deleted files, etc.?
I've recently inherited a messy iTunes library with multiple copies of each song, quite an eyesore to see, and a pain to navigate even with sorting and filters selected. It's easier for me to delete duplicate files using Windows Explorer, but noticed that iTunes doesn't reflect the changes. There's no way to force a refresh, eh?

  • Network Place to SharePoint 2010 unable to access sub sites with error: "The folder may have been moved or deleted".

    I am working on SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and had recently upgraded our site from Sharepoint 3.0 Services to SharePoint 2010 Enterprise.  Everything seems to be working fine for the site, but there is one issue.  The problem I am running into
    is when I create a Network Place, I am able to view the documents and lists of the main page, but if I click on a folder for a sub site, I get the following error:
    "Documents in this folder are not available.  The folder may have been moved or deleted, or network problems may be preventing a connection to the server.  There is a problem with the web server.  Please try again later or contact the
    server administrator."
    If there were a network issue, I would not be able to navigate around on the main page to lists and document libraries.  This seems to affect all of the sub sites on my site.  Explorer view works if that information is required and I do not get
    error messages using Explorer view.
    Thanks in advanced for any help on this.

  • Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

    Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched.  I had to manually locate.  Is there a fix for this?

    I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
    You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
    If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

  • What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
    This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

    After updating my iPhone4s to the lastest update my photostream stopped updated onto my comuter.  From my phone it looks like pictures have been moved into the photostream folder... but they are not showing up on my computer.  Help!

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.

    I am trying to download an epub book from the library, which I have been doing for almost a year. Now I am being asked for my adobe id, which I enter and I get an error message stating Adobe Activation Request Error:2004.. What's this ?

    I downloaded Blue Fire Reader and it requested an adobe id. I clicked on the link that was in the error message stated http//adeactivateadobe.com. Found out that if the date and time on my Ipad is wrong that it won't let me download a book. I was off 5 hours. I reset my clock settings and adobe id let me download a book from the library. I am back to using Overdrive and adobe again on my ipad.
    Thank you.

    I dont recall when I have been more frustrated....  the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless.  After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works.  On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required.  When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not.  I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated....  Rich@

    When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize.  Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem"  I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available.  I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC...  I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again....  so frustrating...

    What is this "box"?  What is this "folder" you're asking about?  You'll likely get a better answer if you use standard terminology.

  • Turned on computer email said i needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent)

    Turned on computer email said I needed new account when I have been using for years (no mail, drafts, sent). I filled oyt new mail setup and it only found my mail not drafts and sent ... I use drafts to store documents and sent in a leser capacity - Ihave huge data in drafts.  Tried to restore using time machine (never had to before). The backups are there but the restore button does not highlight??? So when you clickit nothing happens.

  • This file might have been Moved or deleted

    HI All,
    I am running following site 
    http://a816-dohbesp.nyc.gov/IndicatorPublic/VisualizationData.aspx?id=2048,4466a0,11,Map,Rate,2012
    It is giving me sometime error while creating PDF in IE11"This file might have been Moved or deleted ". Working fine
    in Chrome. Please let me know what I should do. I used Itextsharp and phantom.js to create pdf.
    Regards,
    Vishal Bedre 

    The problem occurs on any website that has PDF's available to open. I do not have a particular website to give. I am using Windows 7 64bit, IE11, Adobe Acrobat 11.
    Here are some additional steps taken to troubleshoot:
    1. I discovered that Symantec Endpoint Protection was blocking PDF downloads from IE11. Once a PDF exception was made, I could start downloading PDF's and have them open in Adobe windows. However, the problem still continues but more randomly.
    2. After disabling all firewalls and antivirus protection on the computer, the box still pops up about one out of every six attempts.
    3. I uninstalled IE11 and installed IE9 and tested. Issue was no longer present. So it appears to be a bug with IE11.

    Is there a fix for seeing bolded dates in navigation calendars for shared calendars (when appts have been made on certain dates) as was the case in Office 2003?
    Looks like in 2011 someone posted on the forum that it was being looked into, but has there been a fix?  It's now two years later?
    Thank you!!

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems that the issue is related to Outlook 2003. This forum focus on Exchange 2013. Additionally, Outlook 2003 is no longer supported in Exchange 2013.
    I suggest we can ask this question in Outlook forums for more professional answers:
