Songs disappearing when I double click them in itunes.

Hi,
I'm using iTunes 8 and have on two occassions been the victim of a rather evil bug. When I double clicked a song it got replaced with a totally different one, it happened for each track on the album I was trying to play. This has happened to me twice so far and both times with a whole album. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't seem to find anything about it on the forums or on google. It's really frustrating.
Thankful for any help I can get recovering my music.

That's wierd, and I can't explain it.
Do you have iTunes set to keep you iTunes Music folder organised in your preferences?
Also how did you add your album X, was it ripped from a CD with itunes, or added in some other way/purchased from the iTunes store or elsewhere?
Just to be clear, do you have duplicate copies of the actual music files, or does the library have two entries pointing to the same place?
Do the files for album Y still exist on your PC or have they been deleted? If so are they in the recycle bin?
The only thing I can think of is that somehow the library database got corrupted and it misbehaved when you added album X.

  • Bridge won't open NEF files, when you double click them, using PS CC

    I have installed the latest version of PS CC and the Bridge, but when I go to my Nikon NEF files and double click to open them, they open up in some weird Window Photo Gallery, then I went to the preferences for bridge and reset the settings, and now when you double click on them nothing happens and they don't open at all.  I am using a PC with Windows 7.
    I have posted this question before, I need help, PLEASE

    If you go to the Bridge Preferences>File Type Associations what does it list as the default?
    If it doesn't list Adobe Photoshop CC you can use the Browse button to set it to
    the Photoshop.exe in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC

  • My screenshots won't open when I double-click them.

    I've had this problem for the past 2 days. When I double click a screenshot in my desktop it won't open. I have to continue clicking it until it opens.
    It's a MacBook Pro w/ Retina 13" - OS X MAVERICKS 10.9.3

    It may be an issue with the trackpad.  Consider a visit to an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

  • Some of my photos show small when I double click them

    I have a macbook air OS X 10.9.5 (13F34), iPhoto 9.5.1
    I have just noticed an issue in my photos from 2008 to 2009.  When I double click on the photos in this period small size photos come up, not full screen
    at the start of the problem I note that one event seems to let me have full size, and another event straight below suddenly only allows me to click to a small photo
    I don't know when this problem happened, obviously I certainly do not recall doing anything to cause this.  Is there something I can do to get those photos back to full size.

    I'm not sure if I know exactly where to find this, but this is what I see on the two examples of the same photo

  • My iphoto movies won't play when I double click them. ***?

    Hi friends and holders of the light of communal knowledge. I recently noticed a glitch in iPhoto in that double clicking on movie files fails to elicit the once normal response of opening a play window and then allowing me to press play and enjoy the moment I videoed. Anyone know of a reason, fix, solution? Reaching out, thanking you all in advance.

    Greetings,
    This would be a good question for the iPhoto Forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
    What version of iPhoto are your running?
    If you drag the movie out to the desktop and then double-click the movie on the desktop, does it play?
    Once you have the the movie on the desktop click on it once and then go to File > Get Info.
    Change the "Open With" to Quicktime Player 7 and then click on "Change All"
    See if this changes the behavior of iPhoto at all.
    Cheers.

  • Some folders are not opening when I double-click.

    Hi.  I am currrently on an iMac, running OS 10.6.8.  Last week random folders stopped opening when I double clicked them.  I found it happening more when I started a new folder ( command n) and renamed it.  Whenever I double click, the folder "whooshes" to the left never to be found.  The folder stays on the desktop and does not open.  The only way to get my items out is to throw the folder away, get an old folder, rename it and take the items out of the trash.
    Any ideas as to what the issue may be?  I've restarted the computer, shut down the computer, force quit the finder, relaunched the finder etc.  I have done an "get info" and made sure everything is "read and write" as well.  This is becoming a headache for about a week now.
    Thanks for any help.

  • When I double click on a song in my iTunes Library i receive the following: the song "....." could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

    Greetings all
    When i double click on a song in my iTunes library the following appears:
    The song "......" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
    Hope you can help

    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.

  • When I double-click on a song name, a different song plays. Did I transfer my library to my new computer wrong?

    I recently transfered my entire song library from an external drive to my new HP computer with Windows 8 and also copied over the library file.  I have the usual issues of iTunes not being able to locate some of my songs (indicated by a !), even though they're all in the iTune's media folder.  In addition, I just found out that when I double-click on my songs, a different song starts playing.  What should I do?

  • Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

    Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.  I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file.  I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild.  Any Help?!  Any Suggestions on how to fix this?!  I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
    I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

    The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
    If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database  --  if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
    If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
    You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

  • Please help me! I imported my pics to iphoto but I can't open them now. I can't see them on full Screen/edit them like before. All I get is a exclamation mark when I double click on them. I don't have copies, can someone please help me?

    I imported all my pics to Iphoto and I can't open/edit them now. When I double click on them, I only get an exclamation mark. Please help me I don't have copies. I tried burning them to a cd but it didn't work. Can someone please help me?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 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. .

  • Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?

    The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

  • I have photos on a cd which I'm trying to open .  If I click on them I can see the picture in the preview, but when I double click it doesn't recognise the picture.  They are all in .jpg format.  Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read.

    Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file.   If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
    You could try a photo file recovery application like  MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

    You can't play movies in iPhoto.  But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS.  Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

  • TS1398 I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and then mysteriously disappeared. When I click the music icon there is an airplay icon top right which is fine for music, but I can't mirror anything e

    I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?
