STUFF MISSING FROM ITUNES IS STILL ON APPLETV

After upgrading to iTunes 7.6, many of my QT trailers are missing from iTunes ("The movie xxx could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"), but they are all still present and playable on my AppleTV!
How can the AppleTV continue to sync to something that isn't there?

The itunes window can in some ways be regarded as a list of alias's, providing you don't delete the alias (the entry in itunes), if I tunes can't find the original it will not delete the synced copy on the tv.
Not sure why the alias's are broken, could be because you've deleted the originals, moved the originals, chosen another location for your library in your prefs or simply because itunes thinks you have done one of these things.
If you haven't deleted them and need help relocating them just post back.

  • Odd... songs missing from iTunes, but still on my iPod

    I came across an odd situation, where certain songs (burned and purchased) are listed in the iTunes library, but do not connect to a file on my PowerBook. I don't recall any situation where I would have accidentaly removed the files. For example, I might have songs from seven albums for an artist listed in the library, but only two of the album folders still exist in the iTunes Music Folder.
    Although missing from the PowerBook, the song files are on my iPod. I feared that on the next sync, those files would be removed, as the PowerBook autosyncs and supposedly conforms the iPod to the iTunes library. But... no, the files have remained on the iPod through several syncs.
    I can find a way to restore the purchased music (although the new purchased music sync on iTunes 7 didn't do it). I can't use my automated backups, because this situation seems to have been around for some weeks, without my awareness.
    The problem started on iTunes 6, so it's not a quirk of iTunes 7 (which works fine for me so far).

    I seem yo have a similar problem, this is where I have purchased the songs via iTunes, and they are on my iPod but do not appear in my iTunes library, nor are they in the artists folders.
    I have recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes v7.0.1, and I have only experienced this problem since I upgraded.

  • Files missing from iTunes, but still in iPhone - how to transfer them?

    So, I recently had an issue where my external hard drive broke and I used my back up service, Mozy, to restore the contents of my iTunes Library to my new external hard drive. It seems that Mozy had not backed up some of the newer music files, podcasts, etc that I had in my iTunes library. These items are in my phone and show up listed in my iTunes library, but when I try to play them on my Macbook Pro, I get an error message that the file cannot be found.
    Does anyone know of a way to fix this issue?

  • Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
    Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
    This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
    Genious Sidebar
    I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
    Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC

  • Artists missing from ITunes - how do you ask ITunes to provide them?

    There are a LOT of artists missing from ITUNES. Some seminal albums. For example I wanted to download Ian Dury and the Blockheads (amongst many other artists) but ITUNES does not have a single track by him. Is this because ITUNES is particularly American in their outlook? or some other reason? How do you ask them to make certain artists and albums available for download?

    You need to be aware that often the reason any given artist isn't represented on the iTunes Music Store is that the artist or their record company won't license Apple to resell their tracks. This often happens with a deceased artist; the rights are sown up in estates.
    So by all means submit your request, but don't be surprised if nothing happens; often there's nothing Apple can do. In the case of The Blockheads, you might want to contact them directly and ask them to get their CDs onto the iTMS.

    Sorry for my english i'm spanish

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • Apps missing from iTunes. How to recover?

    Suddenly, about 2/3 of my apps are missing from iTunes. Basically anything I bought in the last 16 months or so - the apps I currently actually use! I searched the iTunes folder on my laptop and the apps are not there either. Just very old ones. I tried to re-download purchases that I had already made and I get a warning that I will have to pay for the apps. I'm besides myself frustrated right now. What am I missing in the instructions to re-download something already purchased? I dont want to re-purchase all the apps again. Help!
    Is there a way to pull the apps from my phone and put them back into iTunes?
    Any help is appreciated.

    I can confirm that right-clicking on the iPhone or iPod and choosing "Transfer Purchases" will successfully download the installed applications back to the iTunes library.
    One thing to be aware - if you click on the iPhone and then "Apps", you'll see that "Sync Apps" is UNCHECKED. DO NOT CHECK IT and resync without doing a transfer purchases first or else it will also wipe the apps from your device!

  • Apps missing from itunes file

    My iTunes apps file was corrupted, and I restored what I could. But now a lot of the apps are missing from iTunes.
    They're on my iPhone 4S, and various other Apple devices, but every time I sync my iPhone, the sync deletes the apps from my phone that it can't find in iTunes. I've re-downloaded them onto my phone, but I can't find a way to re-download them to iTunes. So the next time I sync to add music to my iPhone that I've purchased elsewhere and imported into iTunes, all those apps get deleted again. More hours spent downloading apps back to my iPhone and placing their icons where they belong. Very frustrating. And one old app that is no longer available from iTunes, but one that I use daily, is now only on my old iPod Touch - so I can no longer sync it, without totally losing that app..
    This problem first started when I tried to update to iOS 8.3 from 8.2. The update failed for some "unknown reason", and I had to restore my iPhone to the backup made just before that update. The restore dumped all my apps and all my music. When I tried to re-sync my music, it only restored about 1/3 of the songs. So I've had to re-sync again, and again, trying to get all the music back on the iPhone. And every time, it dumps most of my apps.
    My questions are: Is there any way to get the old, highly valued app from my iPod Touch back into iTunes on my Windows 7 PC? And is there any way to get the missing apps back in to the iTunes file on my PC from my iPhone?

    Follow the instructions here or here.

  • About 100 songs/items missing from iTunes on new computer

    I recently used Copytrans to transfer all my music from one computer to another. After a while of using the new computer, comparing it to the other computer, about 100 tracks/files were missing from iTunes. How can I find out what's happened to those missing files?

    Do you know which songs are missing? If so, search and see if they were uploaded somewhere unexpected.
    If you don't know which songs they are, I would compare your library to the old computer and just burn an mp3 CD of the songs you're missing.

  • Music files mysteriously missing from itunes library

    I have never had problems with my Itunes until now. Over 8GB of music has gone missing from my Itunes Library, there is still 2GB of random music left in the Library. Is there any way this could have happened as I have not done anything manually to move or delete any music. And how do I get the music back??? Please help as I have just had my Ipod stolen so now I have no music on computer to put onto a new Ipod if/when I get one.

    I've had the same problem ... does Apple have the right to remove tunes from my hard drive?

  • How do I remove a song from my ipod that has been removed from itunes but still appears on my ipod

    I have an ipod touch and my problem is how to remove songs from it when they have been removed from itunes. After synching the songs still appear on the ipod. How can I fix this?

    Hi empty,
    Have you deleted the song from the iPod itself? Go to the songs list and swipe left on the song title. A "Delete" option should come up allowing you to directly delete the item from your iPod....

  • Our Podcast Icon is missing from iTunes - please help

    Our podcast icon is missing from our Feed. Please can someone help us figure out what could be causing this.
    Here is the URL to our Podcast Image
    Here is the link to our Original Source Feed:
    PODCAST: http://www.modtvnetwork.com/podcasts/modtv/modtv_podcast.xml
    Here is the link to our Feedburner Feed:
    feed://feeds.feedburner.com/modtv/podcast
    Please can someone be in touch to let me know.

    The image is correctly referenced in the feed, is the correct dimensions and within the 500kB file size limit, so you've done your part correctly.
    The iTunes Store can be flaky about images: it's not that unusual for a new image to take quite a long time to appear, or for an existing one to disappear for a time. I'm afraid there isn't really much you can do about it except wait for the Store to get its act together.
    You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you are likely to get a form response telling you how to provide an image, which you already know.

  • Albums missing from ITunes after laptop switch. Help?

    I recently switched laptops and at first, when I logged into ITunes, all my albums were there. But, suddenly, they're gone. Help?

    I have almost the same problem.  As a workaround, I can check "sync all music" rather than "sync checked music" in iTunes.  (By the way, it worked for a couple weeks and now it doesn't).  I'm fortunate that all my music fits on my touch (though just barely).  The only album that still exists on my ipod (officially anyways) is one that I bought from iTunes after upgrading.
    Also, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I haven't figured out how to make that work (they disappeared too).
    Anybody know how to get back to a position where I can decide what I want for music and don't have to put everything on my touch?
