What if my itunes cant find my orginal files?

I am trying to download music to my new ipod touch and a window will come up saying it cannot find my orginal files. It will dowload some but not all. It will only download 57 of the 558 songs I am trying to download. Help me please!

    what if itunes cant find my iphone when its in recovery mode?

    Any possibility of opening it up and trying to troubleshoot it. Mine has completely died also. I'm seeing quite a few psots about this freakin' phone breaking. I've never dropped mine or gotten it wet, I barely use it & only had it a little over a year. Mine at this point will be used for target practice.

  • HELP! NEW NETBOOK+iTUNES-CANT-FIND-PHONE!!!! :(

    Hi!
    I just bought a netbook...
    And I am connecting my iPhone in it...
    BUT!
    The iTunes cant find my phone...
    In short...
    I cant sync my iPhone in my netbook...
    Please! anyone! anybody!
    HELP me!
    >_<
    How can I make my iTunes find my phone..?

    What kind of netbook? Is it running a "real" version of Windows, or is it running Windows "Starter" edition?
    I've seen lots of complaints from people running Windows Starter Edition on cheap netbooks. You may need to get a "real" computer. Many netbooks are hobbled beyond belief. Think about it... a fair number of them cost less than the iPhone does, even discounted with a multi-year contract. That should give you an idea of its capabilities.

  • Itunes cant find music files

    Seems to be some discussion on this problem where as itunes will not play the music on the computer and says it cant find the music files. I found that the block for using itunes as default audio player has to be checked. This is in preferences under the advanced tab. Seems to come unchecked at times and stops the player. Also my music location, also under advanced will go back to default at times. (My files are on an external hard drive) Hope this helps.

  • I transferred my music to a larger hard drive and when I went to sync to iTunes there half my library had a '!' next to the songs. After I located one song the question 'would you like itunes to find other missing files' came up. What does this mean?

    I recently transferred my music from one external hard drive to another and when I went to sync it to iTunes half my music had a '!' symbol on the left side, which meant that the songs weren't located. When I went to locate one of the songs it asked me if I wanted iTunes to find other missing files, which I said yes. What happens next and what is iTunes doing to find the missing files? 

    iTunes is a database.  When you import songs to the database, it records the location of that song, so that when you play, or sync the song iTunes knows where to look for it.
    When you moved your music to a different location, iTunes can't find it because you didn't tell iTunes that you moved the music.
    You'll have to re-add those songs that you moved to your itunes library.  Your best bet is going to be to delete all the songs in your library and then go to File > Add folder to library > and then find your music folder on the new external hard drive.
    Also, the external drive HAS to be connected in order for iTunes to find it.

  • Itunes cant find folder %APPDATA%\

    I had a problem with my computer when backing up the harddrive. It had to clean out some stuff and it ended up cleaning out Quicktime and it told me to uninstall intunes and reinstall it. i went onto apple.com and tried reinstalling it but it popped up that itunes couldnt find folder %APPLDATA%\ so i installed Quicktime with no problem and tried downloading itunes but it popped up again.
    HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

    I am having the exact same problem as Ravi. I recently upgraded to iTunes version 5.0 and now the program will not even open. It hangs for about a minute and then the error box pops up with:
    "The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
    I have checked on the location of iTunes. It is in the right location but what is wierd is that when I click on the "My Music folder in the Explorer Window, my machine hangs for about 30 seconds before showing the contents. Then when I click on "iTunes" folder, the machine hangs indefinitely. It simply will not show me the contents of the folder. Eventually it gives me an error:
    "Request cannot be performed because of an I/O device error."
    I just reinstalled the iTunes 2 days ago hoping it would fix the problem, but no luck...I also tried the Tweak UI program, but to no avail...my machine hangs when I try to pick the "My Music" folder in the final step of the process.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

  • Itunes cant find my library in external HD

    Ok Gang...
    I consolidated my library and moved it to an external HD. I changed the advanced setting info to find my new external HD. But when I open Itunes it comes up blank no music library. Help How do I correct this problem. How do I tell Itunes to find my external HD and open the library?

    There's been a few threads about this recently. Where we've all come unstuck is that even if we can get Itunes to look in the right place for the music (by consolidating, or dragging the files into the library) ... IT STILL LOSES ALL THE USER-GENERATED INFORMATION.
    That is to say; you'll find your music again, but all the album art, ratings, playlists and so on that you made yourself will be gone gone gone.
    No-one so far has come up with a solution to this. Several of us have found that even if we input it all again, it's lost the next time we connect the External.
    If anyone has found a solution, PLEASE tell us, because this problem makes the entire ITunes experience time-consuming and pointless. You might as well go back to having a big pile of CDs on your bedroom floor!
