What causes songs in Itunes to not be located?

Hi,
Do you have iTunes match turned on on your computer?
If you cancelled your iTunes Match subscription, you will not be able to download your music except for previous iTunes purchases.

HT201210 what if it says itunes could not contact the iphone software update server , what to do ?

what if it says itunes could not contact the iphone software update server , what to do ?

99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

When trying to sync or listen to songs in itunes library it says the song on itunes could not be used because the original file could not be found. I am using windows 7.

I have imported cds into my itunes and they appear on my playlist, but when I try to sync to my ipod or listen to them on my computer a message comes up stateing " the songs on itunes could not be used because the original file could not be found". I have not deleted them and am importing them the way I always have. This problem has only been for the last 4 or 5 months. Since updating to the last 2 itunes versions.

The message means that iTunes can not find the original imported music files. iTunes should display a red exclamation mark next to the songs it can not find. You will need to look on your hard drive for the songs/files and than correct the file path in iTunes or just delete the files in your iTunes library and import them again.

HT1349 My songs in iTunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC or my iPod?

My songs in itunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC

Quicktime Player should already be installed on the Mac. If you transferred Quicktime from a VAIO it will not run on a Mac -- no PC software will without using a special interface.
Right click or control+click on one of the files, then > Open with Quicktime Player.
I already suspect that since these files will not play completely on any of your devices that you have an incomplete download.

TS1702 some of my songs on itunes will not play

I purchased the Iphone5 and moved all my info, songs, apps from my Iphone 4 over to my new phone. Now most of my music will play but about 50 songs will show up on my iphone in my Music App but they will not play. I'm so frustrated. I can't figure out why they won't play. Can someone help me?

Hey ronserickson,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the songs do not play completely. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Restart current song while iTunes is not the current active app

In prior iTunes 11 / Mtn. Lion when using an Apple keyboard the F7 key when pressed would re-start a song that was playing with one press, and go to the previous with 2. This functionality has changed so that now it will go to the previous track with one press.
Is there a way to change the functionaly back or, add a separate key command that allows me to restart the current song when iTunes is not the currently active app?
Thanks!

I have a SteelSeries Shift keyboard, and experienced the same problem after updating to 10.4.
Found this little piece of software to fix the problem for me:
http://code.google.com/p/hktunes/
It's not ideal, as it has to run in the system tray in order to work, but it's way better than being without the functionality of the hotkeys, untill the problem is fixed.
Hope this works for you guys as well!

Some off my songs on iTunes will not play

The message means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. You can confirm that by trying to play the songs in iTunes on the computer.

Small subset of songs in itunes but not making it to iPod. Help!

Hi,
I upgraded my three year old Gen 2 20 gig ipod to a 60 gig video ipod. Recently it's starting acting odd. I have songs on iTunes that do not appear on the ipod. About 5 or 6 of them I understand, since they are copy protected. However there are several dozen tracks for which there is no reason i can think of. They transferred fine to my old iPod. The thing they have in common? Well, in my library, viewed through windows, they're in an 'unknown album' folder, although through iTunes the album title is just blank. It's infuriating and I don't know what to do. Any ideas?
Thanks very much,
Dan

That's a very helpful, quick and good response. Thanks. I tried it and it works as a fix to the problem. So that's something!
It is however somewhat annoying to have to give fake album names to all songs currently without album titles (about 2000 tracks). This did not occur before having updated the ipod with the latest updater, or on my old iPod.
So thanks for your help and I'll do that for now, but if Apple are reading and looking at things to change in the next software version it would be good to revert to how things used to be!

All songs from itunes do not show up on ipod

I am having trouble getting all my songs from itunes to my ipod. When in itunes if I click on my ipod it says all the songs are there, but when I try to find them on my ipod they are not there. If someone could help me out figuring why not all songs are loaded to my ipod that would be awesome... Thanks

Lost All of My Songs in iTunes but NOT in my iPod

My computer crashed recently and I had to re-install Windows. I wound up losing all of my songs in iTunes but I still have them on my iPod. (I have not connected my iPod to the computer as of yet.) Is there a way to get the songs back from iTunes or to upload from the iPod to iTunes? Thanks, Terry

This topic is covered several times a day. First off, you need to develop a back-up strategy so this doesnt happen to you again. Relying on your iPod or computer is not smart. Next time, Burn your library onto a Data DVD or CD, or invest in an external hard drive. THey have come down in price a lot.
Anyway, you can download a third party program, such as YamiPod or CopyPod, both free, that will allow you to rip your iPod onto your iTunes. There is also another way, but is a bit more involved. Here is the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Actually, Read Zevoneer's post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3850372&#3850372
He explains everything perfectly and it will really help you out.
Good Luck and Back up now, and back up oftenn,

Over half of my songs in iTunes will not play and they have the ! next to them!

I went to listen to my iTunes yesterday and over half the songs would not play. When you click on the song the window pops up with a message say the song could not be located and asking you would like to locate it. They were all playing fine earleir this week. I really don't want to go through and locate each and every song it would be close to 3,000. Is there a way to fix it all at once? Any help you can give me would be greatly apreceated!

i dont think there is nothing u can do i have the same problem and i think its just the way it downloaded. the good thing is that it should be able to play on ur ipod/iphone/ipad but it doesnt play on itunes
