Tried many methods. Still not able to transfer my music to a different path...

.Hi all,
I tried numerous methods, searched on forums, still can't get this problem sorted out...
Long story short, I reformatted my computer (windows), and used a new user name (e.g. from John Doe -> John D), and it screws most of my musics with exclamation marks next to them.
My itunes Media files are fine, they are now placed in E:\Musics.
Question:
There are still thousands of musics that the system think it is at "file://localhost/C:/Users/John Doe/Music/........". Is there a way to massively change all these paths to "E:/Music"...
That's all I need but I can't get it fixed. Tried TT2's FindTrack script but it doesn't work (can't find matched musics).
Can anyone help me to solve this problem...

@TT2
I figured it is not your script's problem (of course ). After carefully checking, I recognized most of the musics that didn't get the correct match are the ones that I deleted long ago (but didn't delete on iTunes). So of course your script couldn't find a match.
@ramblnmn1
My fix is quite easy afterall. I didn't realize Apply added new features that would fixes this issue. Basically, after 1 or 2 attempts to manually locate your exclamation-marked musics, a window will pop up asking if you want iTunes to find other musics in similar paths. I clicked yes and it fixes hundreds of musics, did that several times with the rest and within 10 minutes I got thousands of tracks back to normal

Not able to transfer all music to new computer....

My old computer keeps crashing when I try to back up all my music (store & imported) to my iPod at about the halfway mark, so half my music is stuck on my old computer. I am wondering if there is another way to pull ALL of my music into iTunes on my new computer without having to do it through my iPod or an external drive?

Ok, i have a similar question. I just got a new pc; my music etc was stored on an external HD, but now I can put it all on my pc. After a fresh install of itunes, I tried dragging and dropping the itunes music folder from my hard drive into itunes; after it was all done transferring, it still only transfered a third from my itunes folder from the hard drive to the itunes folder on the pc. any suggestions?

Hi, I'm not able to transfer my music in the library of the tunes from the same section of the tunes On Iphone

Please can you help me?

You can't drag songs (or other content) from a device back to a computer's iTunes. For music purchased from iTunes you can do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them back. For music from CDs or bought from other sites you will need to use a third-party program on your computer to copy them back (after you've copied them back you can then add them into your iTunes library via File > Add To Library) - there are some listed half-way down the document that I linked to : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Contact iTunes support. Nobody here can help with billing problems.

I am using iPhone 4s with no sim card. My WiFi turned grey and isn't working. I've tried many methods like freezing and Resetting the network settings, still not working. Now what should I do? (iOS 7.1.2)

I have mac book pro. Since i updated to OS 10.8, I have experienced the following: many of the programs don't respond. Not able to transfer file (eg pdf file og movie (VLC)). Many of the processes seem to be less effective or won't respond.

The tech tool diagnostic software (as part of apple care protection plan) stops in the middle of scanning.

First, know that if you have any old PPC-only applications they will no longer work. You should uninstall them completely. Secondly, applications that don't work may require upgrades for compatibility with Mountain Lion. Thirdly, you may have a dysfunctional upgrade for which you should try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

To avoid that I would recommend deleting the folder first the copying won't be an issue or deleting all the files in the directory. I know this is an extra step but just like the warning on plastic bags someone somewhere did something they shouldn't have
Sorry, I have been there.
So generally it will ask you if you want to do this for X number of files
IT SHOULD ASK ONCE AND ONLY ONCE
I SAY YES AND GO AWAY AND I HAVE TO COME BACK AND HIT YES AGAIN

I have a fifth gen Ipod and have changed computers. I was not able to transfer all the music over when I created an itunes account on the new computer. How can I save all the songs on my ipod and upload new ones? It wants to sync with my new account.

I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
