"Show in Windows Explorer" option for song not working

I have the latest verson of iTunes 11.0.1 but have had this problem for awhile
Whenever I want to delete a song from iTunes, I usually delete the file as well. To do this, I'll right-click on the song & select "Show in Windows Explorer". However, the majority of the time I get the error message saying:
"Location is not available
C:\....\....\My Music is not accessible.
Access is denied."
Every once & awhile it will work fine though & send me to the song in the Music folder. Any idea how to fix this?

A system restore fixed the problem.
I'm guessing the problem was caused by installing and uninstalling replacements (file browers) for Windows Explorer. Even though they were uninstalled and Explorer was running fine, iTunes had this problem.

  • Windows Explorer Preview pane does not work with .docx files

    This question follows on from previously unresolved questions posted on this forum (see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aec7b30a-0709-4d54-b5c7-570dc5b115df/preview-pane-and-windows-explorer?forum=officeitproprevious) and another forum I
    have visited.
    The problem:
    In windows explorer scrolling down (using mouse or arrow keys) in the library pane from one file to the next stops at a word document with more than 2 pages. Instead of continuing to scroll through the file list in the library pane it switches to scrolling
    through the pages of the document in the preview pane. This is a major pain because it impedes being able to move quickly through the files within a folder.
    The logical way this should work is to always scroll within the library pane unless you click in the preview pane to scroll through the document preview. This isn't how it is working.
    I am using Windows 7 with Microsoft Office 2010.
    Can someone please provide give me a solution.

    Hi,
    I did a test on my machine, couldn't reproduce this issue.
    There doesn't seem to be any settings on Office to change that; anyway, please try repairing Office in Control Panel to try again.
    Since it may be an issue more related to Windows Client, I suggest you post this question in Windows Client forum:

  • "Always open with" option for VLC not working

    I like to open my .avi files with VLC, but the default is set to Quicktime. So when I right click a .avi file and choose open with, then change the default settings by clicking on 'always open with' and then selecting VLC, it opens with VLC, but the next time I try to open the file, the default application is still Quicktime and it opens in Quicktime.
    It's getting frustrating
    Didn't have this problem with 10.5.
    Thanks.

    Somehow certain file types will no longer work with this method, the only software update recently having been the one for Safari 4.0.5. After I did that update, almost all of the file types that I use "Open With... >Change All..." get kicked from QT 7 (what I select) to QT Launcher, which launches any video file in QT X.

  • Windows Explorer option not working for a Document library

    Dear All,
                I am SharePoint administrator for one of the SharePoint site ,When I try to open the document library in local drive using via "Windows Explorer"option I am facing below error.
               Can any one help me how can I over come from this issue
    Thanks,
    Sidd

    1. Check if you have sufficient permission on the document library and its documents.
    2. If permission is all correct, then the problem looks like in your file name. Check your File Name, Length, and Invalid Character Restrictions and Recommendations.

  • New folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.

    I created a new folder under another folder.  The new folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.  Also, if I try to add another folder of that same name, it denies the action since the folder (although invisible) already exists.  My co-worker can access the same file (on a share drive) and see the new folder just fine.  This error occurs whether I was the one creating the new folder or she is the one creating the new folder.  I am new to RoboHelp and she has used it for years.  I suspect something is not yet set up right on my side.  Ideas? (I thought I posted this yesterday but I can't find it anywhere)

    Hi there
    What version of RoboHelp are you using?
    Did you create the folder from inside RoboHelp or did you create it using Windows Explorer?
    Cheers... Rick

  • New Workaround: Nano's showing in Windows Explorer but not iTunes

    Just tried it, since I've tried everything else so I thought I would share with everyone else.
    I had a Nano that would not be detected in iTunes 7, but it would show in Windows Explorer as a Removable Drive.
    1. Disconnect iPod, close iTunes 7.
    2. Access Windows Task Manager --> (CTRLALTDEL)
    3. End "iPodService.exe" Process
    4. Reconnect iPod via USB
    5. Restart iTunes.
    What I found was that when iTunes opens it restarts the Ipod service and will detect the unit in iTunes.
    You may have to do this everytime you want to hook up your iPod until a fix comes.
    But hey it works.
    P4 3.0 Windows XP Pro
    P4 3.0   Windows XP Pro  

    Check to see if the Nano is enable for disk use. If it is, disable it. For whatever reason ITunes gives me problems when I leave both my iPod enable for disk use. Only one of them appears. When I Unchecked the disk use, the problem has gone away.

  • Embedded Album Art not Displaying Showing in Windows Explorer

    Trying To Clean up my Music Collection using windows explorer.  Embedding album art works fine for MP3's yet it is not replacing the (film/file/musicnote/baloon/) icon for Mpeg4 - M4A files. 
    What annoying is that the embedded art may be present but I can't tell just by looking at the individual files.  how can I get confirmation outside of loading up itunes?
    is it possible for me to get the embedded art to display in place of the file icon in windows explorer for these file types?  if so, how?

    It only happens wih some files, and I can't seem to find out what the correlation is.
    If I take a series of mp3s where the album art cannot be displayed in iTunes but can in MediaMonkey or, extract the album art from the the tag through MediaMonkey (iTunes artwork fetching usually gives me poor results), and then assign the album art through iTunes, yes the album art does appear to be saved and displayed through iTunes.  But that's a process.
    Additionally, if I reassign the artwork in MediaMonkey (not readding it, just reapplying the assignment to all selected items) the artwork will show up in iTunes.
    I'm going to play around with Mp3Tag and see if that yields anything.

  • Dropbox does not show up as an option for "Save As" as OneDrive does (came preinstalled that way).

  • When i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

    when i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

    Yes, annoying. A couple of options:
    While it's playing the current A song, click on the H song to select it (but not double click to play it), when iTunes jumps to the second A song, press the down key and iTunes will remember that you had that H song selected and will move the selection to the second H song while the second A song is still playing. So, still jumps around, but easy to get back to where you were.
    Create a new playlist for your music, right click on it, select "New Window" and you can browse your music in a second list while the first window continues to play music. But if you then start playing music in that second window, you have to go back to the first window if you want to start browsing again. Not great if you're navigating around to play the next song.
    Play music from iTunes DJ, then as you're browsing around your library, you can add things to play next in DJ, and go back. You can combine this with previous suggestion, to keep DJ open in one window while you browser in the other window.
    None of these are great, but maybe one of these works better than your current workflow.

  • In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work.  Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

    in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
    Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
    I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
    This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
    When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Updated to the 7 version.  Under contacts there is no option for adding Notes.  How do you get it back?

    I updated to the 7 version.  When you add a contact now, you no longer have the option for adding notes.   Also all the apps I purchased are  no longer on my desktop. The apps are shown under settings but I do not see where you can add them to the desktop.

    I see notes under "add instant message" when you are setting up a new contact. Notes appears between "add instant message" and  "add field" .  Perhaps you didn't scroll down far enough.  This is on my iPhone 4 so I don't know about other phones. 

  • Reopen All Windows from Last Session is not working

    The option Reopen All Windows from Last Session is not working, is there any other way to recover the tabs from my last session?
    Last night I fell asleep and my friend shut down my laptop.
    When I woke up in the morning I couldn't restore my last session which had several tabs opened for my research.
    I don't know the exact date when I found them, so I haven't been able to find them in History either.
    I've looked around on the internet, but haven't been able to find anything that helped me out.
    Hope you can help me! Thanks.

    Restart your Mac.
    Check the box for:  Reopen windows when logging back in
    Then check History >  Reopen Windows from Last Session
