Where have loads of my iTunes gone?

I don't understand what has happened to my iTunes library. I went to listen to a Dylan track and got this message
"The song “Tangled Up In Blue” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
When I clicked LOCATE I was taken to a menu of stuff I don't know what to do with . I can't insert an Apple Grab screen capture of what I am seeing. How useful is Grab, when all is said and done?

You navigate in the window to the song you are trying to play.
Look in /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Music/Artist/Album/ folder
My Disk Utility does not seem to be working correctly either, so maybe there is a major problem. Could it be hardware or software? Will it get worse?
Do this.
Restart the computer and hold Command R WHich boots to the recovery drive.
Then select Disk Utilities and run Disk First Aid.
Maybe.
Start off with runing zdisk Repair.
I can't insert an Apple Grab screen capture of what I am seeing.
Command Shift 3 takes a screenshot of entire screen.
Command Shift 4 takes a screenshot of an area you click and drag.
Command Shift 4 then spacebar takes a screen shot of a window you click on.
These are saved to teh desktop and you can post them here.

Very useful. The format Grab uses is TIFF which this forum does not like.

  • Where have the shortcut website links gone?

    I know this sounds lame, but where have my icons for websites gone? I guess Firefox updates the browser automatically because I did not update it. And now I log on this morning and my Facebook, Wikipedia, Pandora, etc shortcut icons are gone. I loved having those on my page for quick links. And now it looks like in the update they were all erased.
    And the new Facebook extension is too intrusive. I have multiple people who log onto my computer so having all the information on the tool bar will not work for me.
    In any case, is there a way to uninstall the latest version of Firefox. It looks like I am working off version 8.0.1.
    HELP!

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • *** where have the ipod classic games gone?

    DOes anyone know where the ipod classic games on itunes have gone?

    Where have you been these last few years? All iPod clickwheel games were removed from the iTunes Store as of October 2011. Any you still have in your library can be used with a compatible device, but they can no longer be purchased or redownloaded from the store so keep a good backup.

  • Why can I only see iCloud email from the last 4 months? Where have all my old emails gone?

    I was trying to track down an old email from November last year and having used the search tool with no luck resorted to scrolling through the weeks. I then discovered to my horror that I didn't have any emails beyond 1/12/13 !!
    I have subsequently checked online using iCloud and the results are the same. Where have all my emails gone? I have been a MobileMe member since it started and pay for increased storage - which I am no where near utilising - how can I retrieve the 'missing' old emails? I have many Apple devices and it appears they are mssing on them all....

    You might want to go to icloud.com and open your calendar, then click the gear icon and choose Preferences, then make sure you aren't hiding old events on the Advanced tab.

  • Where have the CSV bill reports gone?

    I download my quarterly bill in CSV format as some calls are claimed back from an employer.  Since the change of the website I cannot find where the CSV download option has gone to.  Can someone please direct me to it?

    Hi AndrewD,
    Welcome to the forum!
    CSV files are available for the calls on the current bill only. To get to it:
    - View your most recent bill;
    - Click on ‘What you used’ on the navigation menu on the left of the page;
    - Scroll down to the bottom of the page where the text link (‘Download Data’) is for the CSV file;
    - Click on the text link to start the CSV download.
    All the best,

  • ITunes 8 - where have all the import settings gone?

    when will they ever learn?
    am I nuts - I can not find the import settings in the new iTunes -
    it appears to no longer be in the "advanced" menu, or am I missing it? it just isn't there - I don't see any "burning" settings either.
    help!
    w

    right you are! I keep wishing that iT would put them on the main menu - rather than a sub or sub-sub-menu, but there are probably few iT users such as myself that frequently switch between stereo & mono.
    does anyone know of a script to automatically change from stereo to mono and back? I guess it's just as easy to go into a sub-menu than run a script...
    incidentally, the apple help menus have not changed yet with the new version, every thing I found kept telling me to look in "advanced" rather than general.
    thanks!

  • Where have all the HD movies gone from the iTunes store?

    Not been in for a while and decided to purchase a film but there doesn't seem to be an option to download in HD anymore. Have apple stopped doing this or am I being thick?

    In the US iTS you can get HD content. It might not be available to other countries iTS.
    From the iTS main window select 'Movies' - in the US iTS there is a drop down menu.

  • Where have all the PRINTING presets GONE?

    Even in the mac store they are gone.
    Example, say you have a document and you want to reduce the size using quartz filter, before, it used to show "copies and pages" now it just says "last used", what happened to all the color, pages, duplex (if your printer has it) and all the many options that used to be there before 10.5.2?
    Thanks

  • Where have all the plug-ins gone?

    I re-installed InDesign CS3 after my hard drive was wiped clean with the re-installation of Windows XP, and I'm finding that some files won't open.  The error messages state that some plug-ins are missing and that the program and/or  the plug-ins should be updated.  I have run the update for InDesign, but this hasn't helped.  I don't know of any separate updates for plug-ins.  Any suggestions?

    1. Did you use any non-Adobe plugins in your previous installation? If you (or someone else) installed 3rd party plugins, you need to reinstall these as well. (I wouldn't know what "must have" 3rd party plugins there are -- the iTunes player for CS3? Tetris-in-a-panel?)
    2. Are you sure you are trying to open CS3 files? Trying to open a CS4 or CS5 file will give the same "helpful error message".

  • Where have all the ascx files gone in 15 \templates\controltemplates in SP 2013

    hi,
    if i see the prev. version of SP and deveop web parts with ascx controls, the ascx  controls  were deployed into the  14\templates\controltemplates folder .
    but in my sp 2013 , 15\templates\controltemplates folder, i am not able to see  my web part' s ascx  file .
    did  MS change the architecture of deploying the ascx [ web parts] soem where else in SP 2013? 

    Open your Visual Studio WebPart project. Then go to the solution tree and open Package.
    In Package go to Manifest tab and there you'll see all the controls routes that will be used to deploy them.
    Even more, go to the solution tree. Open the VisualWebpart1 subtree and put a click on VisualWebPArt1UserControl.ascx and have a look at the Properties box.  You should see a field called "Deployment location" with the route where will be
    deployed the control.
    You have to deploy the solution when you search in the controlteamplates folder for your custom control. When you retract the solution, the control template folder will be automatically deleted..

  • Where have all the old appointments gone from my calendar?

    Now that I have signed up for iCloud, I can't find the old appointments in my calendar.  I need those for billings.  Anybody know where I can find them?

    I think you;ll find them in iCloud. When I downloaded Mavericks, a warning came up that advised that my contacts and calendars would move to iCloud.
    In the Favorites bar, click on iCloud and you should see a number of icons:
    This is mine.Although my calendars have moved to iCloud and lost from the original calendars, I now have 2 sets of Contacts. Just click on Calendars and it should show up, albeit in a slightly different arrangement.
