Trouble with songs

I have a lot of songs that have an exclamation point !- this, and when I click on the song to play it, it says cannot findit or whaere it came from, how do I grt rid of these and also is there an mp3 to wav and wav to mp3 and others is their a converter you can d/load or buy.
Thanks jbonemich

Do you want to get rid of the "!"s or the actual songs? Unfortunately, I don't know of an easy way to re-find your lost songs, except to individually browse to the location of the song and tell iTunes where to find it now. If you just want to remove all of the "!" songs from your library--you can try using a script written by a forum member Robert Jacobson:

Look for itunesremovenot found.
Here are some wav to mp3 converters:

I would not recommend converting mp3 files to wav files because mp3 is a lossy format (during compression elements of the original file have been removed) and wav is a lossless format (as close to identical to the original file as possible.) If you want wav files (they're huge by the way) it's best to work with the original source.
You can convert wav files to mp3 files because you're taking an uncompressed file and compressing it.

  • I am having trouble with songs that will not play completely through.

    I am having trouble with songs that will not finish playback. The songs play about 75% of the way and then stop mid-song. This is true for my PC and songs transferred to my iPod. I have redownloaded (and repaid) for one song to see if that helps, which it did. But that can become expensive as I am starting to find an increasing amount of songs that are haaving this problem.

    Take it to a genius bar. It's probably something with the magnets.

  • Trouble with songs that have no albums

    Hey,
    I have a new video ipod, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the feature where, when you click on an artist with only one album, it goes directly to the list of songs in that album, instead of the list of the albums. The issue is with artists where I have one full labeled album and another song or two not in the album with the Album field left blank. When I click on the artist, it goes directly to the list of songs on the one album I have, making it impossible to access the song that isn't in the album. You can only get to it by going to the list of all the songs on the ipod. Is there anyway to fix this, or disable the feature that goes directly to the album tracks when you only have one album for an artist? Thanks!
    Sorry if that's unclear, here's a sample of the problem (artist - album - song)
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Dance Me to the End of Love
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Coming Back To You
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - The Law
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Night Comes On
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Hallelujah
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - The Captain
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Hunter's Lullaby
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Heart With No Companion
    Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - If It Be Your Will
    Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
    That last Hallelujah (a different version than the album one) is the one that's impossible to find.

    Thanks! It's not a neat solution, but until the apple guys fix this problem in the software I guess it's what I'll have to go with.

  • Trouble with songs showing up on Ipod 30gb

    Hi, I have a 30gb Ipod and have had problems before putting songs onto it using Window's Media and such.
    I cannot remember what I did that last time this happened, but when I add songs to the Ipod they do not show up. Again, this happened before and I was able to solve it but cannot remember how and just wanted to see if it is something with how the songs are saved IE .mp3
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Oh sorry, and they songs I'm trying to add are in mp3 format

  • Trouble with songs. need help please!

    alright, so here's my problem.
    last week i tried to put some songs from a cd on my ipod (video 30g). when they were in my library they worked fine but now on my ipod they are not working. if i click on them nothing is happening.
    i tried to delete them from my ipod but everytime i select them and hit delete, my itunes (latest version) freeze. i did erase them once before it froze but when i looked on my ipod they were still there. also, everytime i tried to put some new songs (not from the same cd) on my ipod, they go fine in my library but when i transfer them, it says synchronizing but does nothing.
    i don't know what to do and i really hope i don't have to restore and lose everything cause i lost everything last week as my hard drive died (i don't know if it can be related tho)
    help is needed!!!
    p.s. sorry for my english :S

    thank you but i did tried the basics. after posting my question here i tried a couple of thing and realized that all i could do was a restore. so i tried a restore and when i try it, my itunes doesnt do a thing and stop working. also, the weird thing is, when i look in my cache files for the ipod, no songs is in the folders where they are supposed to be, and when i try to play some songs it just show all the information but skip the songs quickly. so it seems like the information and everythng is still in the ipod but there's no songs in it anymore. so the only thing i'm looking for is for a way to restore the ipod to its original settings without using itunes...

  • I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

    As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
    This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

  • I have an Ipod Touch (4th Gen) and I am having troubles with my downloads from purchasing music from the Ipod. On my downloads icon in the Itunes Store (on Ipod) there is a symbol of how many songs I still have waiting to download, but they wont download.

    I have been having troubles with this for months and am extremly tired of not being able to download my songs. I bought these songs off of Itunes as well, so I really hope i can retrieve them. I do not know where to find a personal apple support person yet, does anyone know where to find one on the website?

    I had trouble with a iTunes download.  Two songs of an album were not complete.  I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes.  My iTunes now has the complete copies.  The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies.  It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs.  I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync.  Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone.  What's up?  What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck

  • We are currently having troubles with our iTunes. Playing different songs and randomly it changes the name of the song to pink time after time. We could go through 5 songs before it will change the next one to song title time after time and artist pink

    Hi I am having trouble with iTunes! Randomly when I click on a song in iTunes it changes the song title to time after time and the artist is pink.
    I could click on 4 songs and they will be normal but then the 5th one will change the info to time after time.
    I haven't done anything different or new, it started doing it all of a sudden, well that I have noticed anyway. Please help.

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • Downloading songs troubles with new nano

    Hello. I recently revieved a new pink ipod nano for the holidays. I am having some trouble downloading songs onto it.
    I curently have one ipod mini and one itunes account.
    I have followed the little instruction thing that came with the new ipod nano but i have no luck.
    [when it told me to turn off the computer it did and it turned back on and nothing really happened after that]
    I would just like the songs to transfer to the new ipod nano. everytime i plug it into my computer it just is charging the battery and is not downloading any of the songs from the existing itunes account. do i need to make a brand new itunes account?
    i would really not like to make a new itunes account on my other computer due to the ammount of space taken up by it.
    i think i am doing it right but having the already existing itunes account has made it difficult? i really don't know and am confused..
    if anybody could help me with this i would really appreciate it!!! i would like to have this problem resolved within the next day or two seeing i am going on a trip.
    not sure     none

    A few questions for you.
    Is this music purchased from the iTunes store you're having difficulty with, or all music?
    How do you normally transfer music? Any error messages?

    having trouble with iTunes playing on my phone...how do I adujust playlist from playing same song over and over...driving me crazy!....

    Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song.  It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white.  It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.
