Where is my imported library. I cannot find songs from my cds.

I have signed up for the Cloud and Imatch.  As soon as I did, my own library disappeared and my I am attempting to find my own songs off my cds or else re-import them, which literally will take weeks. Where are these songs hiding?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

  • Appear to be losing songs in my library says cannot find song to play?

    when I request my itunes library to play a song - it comes up with "cannot find do you want to locate"  I did locate and the ones that will not play are there but are grayed out?  This appears to  have happened after the last update.  Help.  Thanks

    You moved or renamed something.
    Either your iTunes Media is in a different location, or a folder in the path to it has been renamed.
    iTunes uses an XML file to locate your songs. It works like the hyperlinks in a webpage. If the path to a song doesn't match EXACTLY what is in the XML, it pops the error message up. All it takes is a simple move or name change for that to happen.

  • ITunes cannot find songs in library

    For some reason, my iTunes cannot find songs in my iTunes library that are there. It says the file cannot be located, and I have to go one by one and individually find the files for iTunes. I checked in my preferences and I made sure that it is actually looking in the folder where all my songs are. Any idea why this happened? Is there any way to find all of the songs at once instead of doing them individually? (I have about 800 songs, so that could take a while).

    One way you might be able to speed things up ( re-add to itunes) is to find songs where Itunes does know about from the same Artist and then right click on song and select reveal in explorer. This will give you the path to folder of similar songs. You then go to folder and select the songs you want re-added to itunes. While it plays it gets re-added. YOu can play a few seconds of the song and then go to next one that needs to be added.

  • Itunes says it cannont import since it cannot find the right folders?!?

    itunes says it cannont import since it cannot find the right folders?!?
    i plugged in my ipod, and that's what it says!! i cant import anything into the ipod
    does anyone know how to fix this??

    I am having the exact same problems as you are. Same messages. Mine will actually sync some of my music then the message comes on. I'll plug my ipod back in and it will load a few more. Eventually it all freezes up and deletes everything on my pod.

  • "cannot find songs online" when trying to play/import from cd.

    When trying to play/import a cd I get "cannot find songs online" message. Only Track # & time are displayed. When trying to get cd info I get "not registered for online use" message. Never did this before. Thanx in advance for any help.

    The "not recognized for on-line use" error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs.  Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12 (though the number of reports has reduced significantly since 12.1 was released).  A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
    Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected.  I don't have a Vista system to check whether its different, but you may need to:
    Select Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization
    Click Folder Options
    Select the View tab
    Under Advanced Settings, click Show hidden files and folders, then click OK.
    Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\.
    Exit iTunes
    In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Delete the following files:
    CD Info.cidb
    com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
    Restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    If this doesn't work:   
    In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
    Exit iTunes
    In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
    Restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.   
    If this one didn't work:   
    Exit iTunes
    Check the following folders:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Delete any copies of the following files:
    CD Info.cidb
    com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
    iTunesPrefs.xml
    Restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure.
    If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:   
    Exit iTunes
    In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.  Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
    When this process has finished, restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself.  If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes.

  • Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

    OK.  I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created.  And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist.  I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either.  I even talked to a supervisor.  He was stumpped.  It looks like a bug has infected the system.  I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem.  I believe if it works, don't update.  
    I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
    This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
    Help!

    "ok and how exactly do i do that? "
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup?  That is not good.

  • I deleted photos cause the capacity is so big but i backup first on itunes then when i was to restore some of those i cannot find photos from the last backup that i 've done. What to do?

    I deleted photos cause the capacity is so big but i backup first on itunes then when i was to restore some of those i cannot find photos from the last backup that i 've done. What to do?

    As far as i know, you can use a third party iPad photos recovery software to have a try. If i remember correctly, this software has two methods to restore your photos. One is recovering from your iTunes backup, another is recovering from your iPad directly.

    It is worth to try if your photos are important.

  • ERROR:  cannot find information from the FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS table

    Hi,
    I am in CU2, i have created my project, set the right responsibility in Project property panel of my Jdeveveoper.
    When i run the first page all is ok, but if i click on a h-grid link , i receive the following error:
    "Your system has not been properly set up. The system cannot find information from the FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS table which is needed for this process. Please consult your System Administrator for further assistance."
    This happens only if i launch the custom from jdeveloper. On the Applications, the custom works fine.
    Any idea about the error?
    Thanks in advance,
    Carlo

    Please check the calling logic which is written to invoke the custom form from the existing form.

  • Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

    Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

    You need to create a play list of songs that you would use for movies - mine is called Music for Movies.  Then when you click on the music icon (the first box in the line of 5 in the grey bar across the lower third of the screen) and a drop down menu will appear showing all your play lists.  Then simply drag and drop, but make sure that you hover over the video clip that you want to add the music to.  If you don't the music will be added to the start of your presentation.  You can always move the position afterwards. NOTE - if you want to add to your play list do it before you start your video editing as the list does not always update when I Movie. 

  • I cannot move songs from my library to my iphone

    I cannot move songs from my library (CD's that I own) on my laptop to my iphone

    They are not moved, they are synced.
    What if anything happens when trying to sync content to the device?
    Is it actually selected to sync or are you trying to manually manage content on the device?

  • Cannot copy songs from library to ipod - says need to run updater but ipod

    Cannot copy songs from library to ipod- says the software is too old and updater needs to be rund. However, the updater has been run and says the ipod is up to date. I have already run the restore so the ipod is empty.

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    So, transfer of any songs added (or removal of any songs deleted from iTunes) should take place automatically every time you connect the iPod to iTunes.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Cannot find row from context to build the RowKey

    I have a table with 8 attributes!
    6 attributes are varchar2(20), so the input is just in textfields, the other 2 are booleans varchar2(1)!
    To select the boolean I made 2 comboboxes with the displayvalues Yes/No and datavalues Y/N!
    When I change 1 of the 6 attributes with the textfield, everything goes fine, but when I want to edit 1 of the 2 boolean attributes I get the following error:
    oracle.jbo.JboException: Cannot find row from context to build the RowKey
    The strangest thing is that all the settings from the attributes are the same and also the code in the dataeditcomponent.
    Does anyone knows what the error means and especially how to solve it!?
    If I change a boolean value the change is saved, but the error comes before you can see the changes!

    Hi Steve,
    thanks for your help.
    These are my steps to build the application:
    0.) JDev 904, WindowsXP, IE6.x, FireBird 0.7
    1.) New Project and Wizard 'New Business Components Package',
    only DeptImpl, default VO and default AppModule
    2.) New Project, Wizard 'Complete Struts-Based JSP Application'
    only default settings
    3.) Customize config of AppModule: Referenced Pool Size = 1
    4.) Start application, connect with two different browsers (IE and firebird)
    5.) Browse page DeptView1_Browse with both browsers
    1. Browser: Link Edit --> edit&update attribute Loc of Dept 10 (no commit)
    2. Browser: Link Edit --> edit (no update) attribute Loc of Dept 20
    6.) 2. Browser: update ==> Error Message: Cannot find row from context to build the RowKey
    I have also tested JDev 9034/9033 with no error :-)
    I have build the same application in JDev 10g with ADF (no migration from other projects)
    and ran into another error message (same steps as above):
    JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException, msg=null
    I don't know if my ADF-Struts project is assembled correctly but it works with just one session.
    My intention to set Referenced Pool Size = 1 was to test my code against some session releated bugs.
    I wanted to associate user information like name, role and PK with the SessionCookie instance (during login), via
    SessionCookie.setUserData(myInfos). The Information is used in VOs to get only the user related data
    and in EOs to store the real user name in an attribute like modifiedby/createdby
    (I use Tomcats as deployment platform):
    getApplicationModule().getSession().getUserData() -or-
    getDBTransaction().getSession().getUserData()
    Is there a better way to link own data to a 'session' on the level of business components?
    Can you reproduce my results?
    Ciao Markus
