Trying to transfer music from itunes library to device and getting song not located

I,m trying to transfer music from my itunes library to device and I got exclamation point next to song saying it cannot be located. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Did it work before and stop after updatings iTunes on the computer?
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with new iTunes 11. How do I do this?? What folder does iTunes use?

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I cannot seem to transfer music from ITunes to other devices?

Is it not possible to transfer music from Itune's to other device's then Aplle products?

Recent iTunes Store music purchases can be moved to non-Apple devices by locating the song files and following the instructions provided with the device; in some cases, the file needs to be converted to MP3 first. Very old music purchases can't be except to a handful of Motorola cellphones.

Trying DESPERATELY to Delete from iTunes 10.5.0 and it's NOT Working

I have some files in iTunes 10.5.0 on my laptop, running Windows XP, and iTunes doesn't ever give me any options for deletion. No Edit --> Delete, no backspace, NOTHING. What the heck?
Also, just out of curiosity, if I have any album that I've downloaded, and put into iTunes, do I need to keep the file in My Documents --> Downloads, or can I delete them from there. My computer's hard-up for space.
Thanks!

After continual hangs on iTunes Match Step 3 (crashing iTunes, etc.) I was finally able to get iTunes Match to complete late last night. iTunes 10.5.1 is working normally again as well.
I added two columns to my iTunes library, "iCloud Download" and "iCloud Status". iTunes > View > View Options > check both items. This allowed me to see exactly what was matched, uploaded, waiting, etc.
After reviewing all of my songs I found that there were about 40 that displayed "Waiting". No matter how many times I force-quit iTunes and tried to get iTunes Match to complete, those last songs in the wait-state would not budge. I finally deleted all of them (they were odd, non-mainstream songs and albums that I can live without plus I still have the original CD's).
Once I deleted the the "Waiting" songs iTunes Match finished instantly.
I'm not sure why those particular songs were causing trouble, but I was glad that it was finally able to finish. I eneded up missing a lot of cover art and also resolved that. More here...

So I've tested iTunes Match on my iPad, my Apple TV2, etc. and it seems to be working okay now...but what a nightmare it was to get there!. iTunes is once again behaving normally in both regular and full-screen mode. This was not a good Apple-like experience.

I can't transfer music from Itunes library into my Ipod Touch

I transfered a music library into a new laptop bu all the song have !!!! and exclamation sign and I can't transfer any songs into my Ipod Touch, can somebody ghelp me??

Make sure "Manually manage Music and videos" box is checked under Summary tab.
If the box is already checked and you are still not able to drag it over, highlight the video in movie library and go to iTunes menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version". Drag the newly created version over.

How do you transfer music from iTunes library to iPad

I have over 200 songs in my music library, but every time I drag the songs into my iPad library and sync, it still doesn't show up in my music app,on my iPad.

If you sync your iTunes with your iPad, it deletes all of the music on the iPad. There is a prompt window that advises the user of this.
So if you want to drag music to your iPad manually, then do so, but do not sync after performing this task.

I am trying to transfer music from the latest version of iTunes on my PC to my iPad. I did it earlier but not now. can you help?

I am unable to transfer music from iTunes on my PC to my iPad2. Recently I have upgraded iTunes and iPad to latest versions of software. Can you help with a solution?

Thanks, but I checked - iTunes Match is turned off in my iPad. In fact I am not subscribed to iTunes Match.
After docking iPad to my PC, I clicked the iPad icon in the side bar of iTunes. Then I tried to drag and drop music from my iTunes library into the iPad. But it doesn't go!
I am not syncing iPad with iTunes on my PC because an alert is appearing to erase all the earlier stuff which I had transferred to my iPad from a different computer. This is eventhough the 'selected playlists....' is checked.
I am signed into both Ipad and iTunes using the same ID.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)
