The iTunes itl. file can not be found

iTunes won't open and i tried to reinstall it and it says the same thing wat do i do?

Search all your hard drives for the file:
iTunesLibrary.itl
If none are found, you've lost all your metadata such as ratings, play counts, etc.
You might also just look for files containing ITL, since there may be something in the +Previous iTunes Libraries+ folder that you could use.
Make sure WIn Exp is set to show file extensions.
You should be able to get itunes to start by pressing _and holding_ the shift key while starting itunes. EIther use one of the ITL you files you found, or create a new one, when prompted.

    How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from Windows XP?
    I get a message that iTunes.msi can not be found or is corrupted.
    I want to install latest version, but can't get remove older version.

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • How to make a copy of the IMAP Sent messages when the Sent folder file can not be found?

    My Thunderbird works fine. I can also see messages sent in the Sent folder but I wonder are the sent messages only saved in the IMAP server. For the backup purposes I would like to copy the file of the Sent folder but I can not find a local file for it.
    In /home/me/.thunderbird/44g5fxvp.default/ImapMail/mail.[mymail].fi I do have files
    Archives-1.sbd
    Archives.msf
    Deleted Messages
    Deleted Messages.msf
    Drafts.msf
    INBOX
    INBOX.msf
    inbox_old
    inbox_old.msf
    msgFilterRules.dat
    Sent.msf
    Templates.msf
    Trash.msf
    Trash.sbd
    I.e.the Sent.msf esists but there is not file named Sent. Am I looking from a wrong place? Are my Thunderbird settings or preferences wrong? Is there something obvious I have missed?
    What is the most convenient way to make a local copy of the Sent folder messages if Thunderbird does not make a local copy of it?
    Information about my system:
    Application Basics
    Name Thunderbird

    re: the Sent.msf esists but there is not file named Sent
    That is because they are not stored on your computer they are stored on the server. The Sent.msf file is just an indexing file and does not store emails.
    re INBOX, INBOX.msf, inbox_old, inbox_old.msf
    These subscribed folders have been synchronised to get a local copy onto your computer in your Thunderbird profile folder.
    You need to do the same with the 'Sent folder.
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#w_configuring-synchronization-and-disk-space-usage
    then go into 'offline' mode to stop further synchronising.
    Then you can right click on selected emails and save as .eml files in a folder external to Thunderbird.
    You can also copy or move emails into a suitable folder in Local Folders. These folders keep emails on your computer, they are not modified by the server, they do not synchronise with any IMAP mail account.

  • How can I relocate songs from my Itunes? Itunes tells me that the original files can not be found! can someone help?

    I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
    WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?

  • I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itune's however all of my music has an "!" buy it and I get an error saying "original file can not be found". How do I get my music back?

    I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itues, however; all of my music has an "!" but it and I get an error that says " original file can not be found".
    How do I get my music back?

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

  • HT201413 I am receiving a message saying the iPod "TRACER's iPod" can not be synched. The required file can not be found. I ran the iTunes program repair and restarted both the computer and the iPod. Any suggestions on what else to try?

    I am receiving a message saying the iPod "TRACER's iPod" can not be synched. The required file can not be found. I ran the iTunes program repair and restarted both the computer and the iPod. but still receive the same message. Any suggestions on what else to try?

    That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
    If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
    For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

  • Itunes can't play the file because the original file can not be found

    There is many things wrong with that message and I don't know why.
    I had around 30 songs off an album on my computer
    I put the album on Itunes
    I edited them and then they played fine
    I put them on my ipod and then deleted them off coz i wanted to put something else on
    but i found out I had more space to put the other 30 songs I had from before back on so I went to the album
    when I wanted to play a song it said "Itunes Can't play the file because the original file can not be found"
    1) The original file was on my computer, in the exact place where I left it last time when Itunes played it
    2) I did not change the file path name
    3) I did not change the folder path name
    4) The songs aren't corrupted
    5) They play fine on other programs
    I deleted them all off and took them on again and they played fine but whey did they keep stuffing up before?

    The "missing file" thing 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 say no when asked 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. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. 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 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
    Nick

    Yes, thank you.  My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that. 
    Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!
