When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
Yes
2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

Check iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and make sure you're running a Managed library:
It sounds like the checkbox that should be checked is not.

Volume can not be found WHY THE HECK NOT??

Hi
ok I have 26000 photos in iphoto so I have a litte bit of an idea how to do it...
but why is it doing this now?
-this is my workflow I insert my card in the reader
-copy them to my external HD
iphoto is only a reference library ( have copy unchecked )
-I go into iphoto/file/import to library/external HD/pictures/then the file with my photos I want to reference
-preparing to import
-VOLUME CAN NOT BE FOUND. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.
WHY WOULD IT DO THIS OUT OF THE BLUE??? HELP
THANKS

This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

TS1702 I have lost a precious ringtone! When I sync my iphone it says it can not be found. Any help on this???

When I plug into I-tunes to sync, it says some of my items I have used in the past can not be found.
I have lost a precious ringtone & wondered if it was possible to retreive it.
Any help out there???

Where did you get the ringtone from? Can you see it in itunes on your computer in the library under tones?

When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found", When Syncing, got error msg "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found"

i've upgraded to IOS5 and also my iMac to latest iTunes.
i now found Itunes frequently issued a error during syncing "iphone4 can not be synced as the required file can not be found". i have connected the iphone4 to my iMac using USB (i.e., wired). but without doing any thing further, i go to iTunes and just hit the button to "SYNC" the iphone4 again, it will work.
so, why am i getting that error usually first time around when i connect the iphone?

Hi folks. Am REALLY struggling here and hoping for some help. I too am constantly getting the 'iPhone can not be synced' message since upgrading to a new MacBook and trying to sync my iPhone 3GS. Have tried updating to latest iPhone software and hasn't helped. Have tried all the stuff mentioned above (dumping that file etc) and no luck. When I go to my sync page for photos, even if i un-tick the sync photos option altogether, this error keeps appearing. Very odd and very frustrating. Can't sync - seems to stall at last step of the process every time.
I'm guessing it is photo related as the pics on my iPhone are now all lowres and blurry, and it is asking for sync to iTunes to get high res images onto the phone.
Also have problem going the 'other way'! WHen I go to iPhoto on Mac and try to download new photos taken on iPhone.. I keep getting the message 'The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognized format."
help please

The icon for PHOTOSHOP 64-BIT DOESN'T OPEN ANYMORE. I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS IT CAN NOT BE FOUND IN THE DYNAMIC LIBRARY.

THE PHOTOSHOP ICON 64-BIT DOESN'T OPEN ANYMORE THE PROGRAM. I GET A MESSAGE THAT IT CAN NOT BE FOUND IN THE DYNAMIC LIBRARY. WHAT TO DO TO RESTORE IT AND OPEN THE PROGRAM?

Urazurrutia which operating system are you using? I would recommend removing and reinstalling Photoshop to restore the application. What specific version of Photoshop are you facing difficulties with?

Why does Lightroom say "file can not be found" but I can see the image?

I have uploaded pics from my Fujifilm XPro1 but some of them can not be moved, exported or developed(?) The image is there but I can't do anything to it.

Thanks very much. I found the missing images in another folder on my desktop although when I originally uploaded from the camera card they did not automatically upload to Lightroom as usual. I found another folder with icons came up as Lightroom and Lightroom2 with those images. When I opened it it automatically imported to Lightroom but now the Lr app only opens with that last download and my entire library of 2500+ images is empty!! and all of these new ones have "!” on the thumbnail. Now what have I done, if it was me?

ITunes can not copy downloaded game, says file can not be found

I downloaded Tetris from iTunes, when I plugged in my ipod, it said the file could not be copied to the ipod because it could not be found. Then it said the same thing about one single song file what does this mean & why did it happen....anyone????????????

Not sure why you got that message but you do need to be aware that you cannot add purchased games to the nano. Those games are only for the 5th gen video ipod. This info is stated on the iTunes Games page.

I can not change albums when I plug my Ipod touch into my car.

When i plug my Ipod touch 3rd gen into my 2010 Scion XD the screen goes white with an icon saying that is plugged in as an accessory. The problem with this is that when an album ends there is no way to flip to a new artist/album or anything without unhooking the ipod. So once you plug the ipod into the car it will only play the album that you already were playing with no option to change it. Is there a setting that i can change so the music touch screen will stay active when plugged into my car so i can flip through my library?
Thanks

This can happen if Restrictions are enabled on your iPod Touch and Installing Apps is turned OFF. You'll also find the App Store icon is missing.
Check Settings > General > Restrictions and either disable restrictions or turn "Installing Apps" ON.

Get message saying one or more files can not be found when using plug in Perfect effects 8.5 in Lightroom 5

Cant open Perfect Effects in lightroom 5

Update: I have just installed version 8.1.1. and exported my library and the issue seems to be fixed. I don't believe that export libary had any impact so it mostlikely is version 8.1.1. who has fixed the isssue. I will keep an eye on it and get you posted on how it goes.
Thanks Cees

Why does Firefox take me to a page that says, "Oops Page cannot be found" when I click on a link in a secure site. Not with IE: only Firefox.

If I go to a secure site and click on a link, it take me to "Oops Page cannot be found". I have reset Firefox, uninstalled it and re installed it, disabled my Add Ons, and every other suggestion from the forum. Nothing works and this does not happen with IE. Is the bottom line that I must use IE for these sites? I would prefer Firefox but cannot solve this problem.

Did you disable all the extensions before restarting?
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
*all extensions are disabled
*the default theme is used (no persona)
*userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
*the default toolbar layout is used (localstore-safe.rdf)
*the Javascript JIT compiler is disabled
*hardware acceleration is disabled
*plugins are not affected
*preferences are not affected

HT201210 says phone can not be found

trying to restore iphone .phone goes off during .itunes says phone cannot be found

Ensure iTunes is updated version. Try this link for further assistance.

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista but my iTunes will no longer work. It says file can not be located when I try to play a song.

I recently upgraded my operating system from Vista to Windows 7. Ibacked up all of my music on an external hard drive before I reformatted my computer. I have reloaded iTunes several times and attempted to transer my files back to my computer. Everything appears to transfer but once I remove the external hard drive I get a message stated file cannot be located. What am I doing wrong?

I just posted a similar question -- five months later. Did you ever find a solution?

Original file could not be found when I click on song

I had to restore my hard drive but had everything backed up. But I don't remember the exact directory it was in to point the Itunes library to. How can I find this previous link to the songs? When I right click on the song it doesn't show any previous address.

The "missing file" error 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, one of its parent folders, or 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. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) 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, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
