Some songs "Not Found"

Had to do a complete re-install of 10.5.6 last month (long story).
Brought over my iTunes Library & Preferences from back-up. All seemed fine. There are all my tunes & cover art. Things working well.
After a few weeks, I noticed that some songs I clicked to play would get an exclamation point at the beginning, and I'd get an alert dialogue saying "iTunes cannot find the song ______. Would you like to find it?", or something to that effect. I can easily navigate to the library of songs, click on the song, and tune is reconnected.
What I cannot figure out is how to re-link an entire CD without doing each track individually (a pain). Or is there a way to re-link all the errant tracks?
This seems to only affect tunes burned from CD, not my iTunes downloads. And even then, not all the CD burns. At this point, I've gone through most of the A-C albums, re-linking by hand.
A shortcut (without looking my play count) would be appreciated.
Cheers!

This might be a good thread to watch. there are others with this problem too and have not done a re-install:

Some songs not found in same album, same directory!

But I can "add file" no problem. This happens whenever I move the music directory or move the directory (I am careful to copy the directory exactly).
So, what is happening in Itunes that some songs are simply not found, although nothing has "relatively" changed except the path? I give it the new path and update the directory.
The downer is that yes you can delete and re-add but you lose all your hard work on the rating system.
Anybody figure all this out?

One way is to select all the tracks and set them to be part of a Compilation (Get Info on all the tracks, then go to the Options tab). The album will then show in the Compilations in the Artists column of the Browser and not under a bunch of artists.
Or you can edit the Artist or Album Artist field so that the information is the same for all tracks. Compilations is probably the most common method for soundtrack albums and such, though.
Regards.

Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud?

Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud icon?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.
Maybe a screenshot.

I preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened

i preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened??

What do you mean 'only got some songs not all' ?
Has the album now been released ? If it is has and you've paid for it (you aren't charged when you pre-order an item, only when it's released) then you should be able to download the complete e.g. via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

set until sequence 59;You want to restore/recover up to sequence 58, the given number in until sequence nnn is always not included. So the backed up datafiles are simply too new, backup was done while current sequence is 60.
You need an older backup,which is obviously not available.

Importing songs "not found" message

Can anyone help? I tried to import a saved playlist from another network computer only to find I could access 4 out of 86 songs. The others had a "not found" message. All the songs are in my Itunes library?
Any ideas? Thank you

I use render all.... and still not found screen appear but you make me look at some places. I notice other places that not render even I select render all. I see transition look not right so I deleted them and render all again. It worked. I guess I use transition and not work right... that causes not found screen appear. Now it gone... whew.... glad you make me look through... smile. thanks

Oracle ADF - SRDemo (some methods not found)

Hi
I am running the SRDemo project in Oracle ADF demo. In step 8 of pg 6-20, they are mentioning to import oracle.binding.AttributeBinding class. I did this import and was requesting in jdev to import some more classes like oracle.adf.model.BindingContainer and oracle.adf.model.OperationBinding.
I imported all these.
Piece of code pasted below:
import oracle.adf.model.BindingContainer;
import oracle.adf.model.OperationBinding;
import oracle.binding.AttributeBinding;
public class SRMain {
public SRMain() {
public String commandButton_action() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding =
bindings.getOperationBinding("addNoteToServiceRequest");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if(!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()){
return null;
AttributeBinding noteText =
(AttributeBinding)getBindings().getControlBinding("noteText");
noteText.setInputValue(null);
return null;
Still some methods like getBindings(),getOperationBinding,getControlBinding are shown as not found in jdev.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Sabarish

Hi,
if getBindings() doesn't exist then you obviously missed creating a variable
private BindingContainer bindings;
with setter and getter methods creatd for it. Also, this bindings object is populated through a managed property in the faces-config.xml file. I don't believe that the tutorial missed this steps out. Please have a look again and create the managed property and the required setter and getter method

Song Not Found on PC, exists on iPod -- How to Transfer to PC?

Every time I sync I get a message saying there's a song that was not found, and couldn't be synced. That song exists and is fine on the iPod. How can I get that song back to the PC?
Thanks!

I had a similar problem with several songs on my nano. In the end, the only way it could find of getting a song off the nano and back into my library was to buy 'Xilisoft ipod rip' software.
I found it online and didn't think it was too expensive, and it worked well.

Some webpages not found

When I go to a website, I get to the main page, and a sub-page. When I make selections from some drop down menus, the next page that appears is "page not found"
Particularly www.mcall.com
My wife searches jobs, puts a location, and the next page shows up. When she tries to narrow the search by choosing a 10 mile radius and jobs posted within the last seven days, the "page not found" comes up. This same page works on my Compac and Emachine using the same network and Windows Explorer.
I can't seem o find any more specific settings that may be causing this problem.

Ok...
Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that off if there are any installed. Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn extensions back on then uninstall one a time to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Sync causes 'some songs not authorized to play on this computer'

When syncing iPod to iTunes I keep getting the message that some songs were not copied because they are not authorized to play on the computer.
How do I determine which songs are not authorized? I have either purchased all of my songs iTunes or loaded them from my CD. Therefore, all should be "authorized"

Diane,
I may have had another ID when I first started using iTunes - I just can't remember - I'll try to narrow it down using the smart playlist that you have suggested. As I'm thinking, I wonder if a disk that my daughter created for me a few years ago as a birthday gift (Dad's Mix) contained music that she had purchased with her account ID on iTunes, could be the culprit. Anyway, as I said, I'll try to whittle it down to isolate the songs that are generating the message. Thanks.

Some files not found

i have recently commenced importing cds to itunes. as i have many cds a little way through the import process i decided to store the songs on an external HD rather then the internal hd. however some songs were stored on the internal HD i have now copied these to the external and removed from the internal. now when i attemptr to play some songs ( those that i initially imported ) i Tunes can not find the files and asks if i want to find them.
my question is can i now direct itunes to look for the files in the new library location. is it possible to do this for all those songs in 1 command or will i have to redirect itunes for every song?
any help would be appreciated.
cheers

It's probably easier to just drag them back into your itunes library, and delete the references to the ones from the C: drive.
Otherwise you will have to locate each song's new path.
As you've discovered, it's a bad idea to move file locations outside of itunes. It stores the absolute path to each file, so if it changes, it can't find it.

Why are some songs not fully downloading?

Most of the songs that I've downloaded lately are not playing fully. They're stopping less than halfway through and skipping to the next song. I know this is happening to others also, is there any way I can fix this? It's rather unfair, since my mum has payed for all these songs, yet there's no point even buying them if I can't listen and enjoy them. Thus, I was wondering is there anything I can do, or must it be repaired by iTunes? Also, have iTunes aknowledged this problem? Thanks!

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player or another media player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt. If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773

Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here. I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

Some songs not shared

I have my main iTunes library on the big iMac in the sitting room and share the library with all the other machines in the house but some songs, even though they show up in the shared library, refuse to play and stay at 0 seconds. The only thing that I can think of that links the unplayable tracks is that they are all converted from FLAC to M4A with XLD or Max. I have a lot of tracks converted this way and the majority are shared happily. Get Info on the recalcitrant songs doesn't reveal anything unusual. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where the problem may lie ?
Cheers, Daniel

Well, I've discovered what the problem is. I rip my tracks to 160 VBR and I've noticed that iTunes displays the bit rate as 160, whereas Get Info in Quicktime reveals the real bit rate. iTunes actually gives the real bit rate for these songs that won't play when shared so now I need to find some way of editing the files so that they behave like the rest.

My itunes keeps saying song not found

when i try to sync my music to my ipod shuffle from my itunes it says song not found

Are you able to play that song in iTunes (on the computer)? That usually means iTunes can no longer find the song's file, where it was previously stored.
