Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles??

Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles (meaning these songs don't exist in Library but actually do)? I really don't want to scroll through 5,000 titles to remove these items.

Hi mitzlet,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

  • In the iTunes Store, why can't I sort songs by popularity anymore?

    I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes on my PC.  I can't tell which version of iTunes it is (how do I find this?).  In my previous version, I could go to the iTunes Store, look up an artist, and sort his/her songs by popularity.  I can no longer do this in the latest version of iTunes.  How do I sort by popularity now?

    Hey Scot Walker,
    Thanks for the question. If you are viewing all albums by an artist, you do have the option to sort by release date. This option is located in the top right corner of the page (it defaults to Bestsellers):
    Note that you will need to click “See All >” from the Artists’ homepage.

  • Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes

    I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.

    What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.

  • Why can't iTunes transfer songs with Home Sharing?

    I am trying to transfer songs and tv shows onto my computer from another computer in my house and everything is working fine, but when I try to drag the songs, they won't move. What should I do?

    what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
    if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
    now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
    if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.

  • Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

    why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • Why can't I sort music?

    Why can't I sort music on my iPod when it's connected to PC? I can sort the music in my library by any column.

    I have the same issue since the latest update.  I can no longer sort my music by song title on my iPad.  When I click on "Songs", it is sorted by Artist.  The songs aren't even sorted alphabetically by artist in this mode.  I checked on my computer and I have my music "Library" sorted by song title, not by artist. 
    This is very frustrating when trying to locate a song title.
    Any help?

  • Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

    Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

    It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
    If you want to change syncing computers see:

  • Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?

    Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?
    The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
    have tried many times, what am I wrong?
    Thank you in advance!

    Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice?  And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
    I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air.  Not sure if this will help you but...
    In your itunes client music library:
    Right click on one music file
    Hover over the Add to Playlist option
    Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
    See if that helps move the music file over.  If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file.  The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

  • Why can't i purchase songs in "browse"

    Why can't i purchase songs from "browse" mode?

    I suddenly have the same exact problem with both my Macs - MBP 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.7, as well as an old PPC. The button for 'buy" "or "download" or "rent" is no longer functional. I click on the button but nothing happens.
    And we're not alone - there are a lot of similar complaints just recently in Apple discussions and other forums in the past few days. It doesn't seem to matter which OS or iTunes version is used, or even if it's a Mac or PC. Apparently its only affecting some. So far, there doesn't seem to be a fix.
    Maybe if enough people complain, Apple will find a fix.
    Edit: I just saw this temporary fix on another thread that worked for me:
    "click on drop-down, add to wish list, and then answer yes to the prompt about "prices may change, do you want to download now" works."

  • I purchased an ablum thru itunes on my phone and it says i purchased the songs on itunes but when i go on my music it says i have to repurchase all the songs how can i get the songs with out havin to pay again

    Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

  • Hard drive failure (why can't I start up with boot disk)?

    Running OS 10.4.6. I was getting flashing question mark at startup. Tried starting with Disk Warrior holding down "C" key. Got Apple logo, but then screen frooze with horizontal lines across screen.
    Rebooted, held mouse to eject disk. Tried TechTool Pro disk. Would not boot from that either (got circle with slash logo I think).
    Finally was able to boot with Tiger install disk.
    Ran disk utility from Tiger disk. My internal hard drive showed up in red letters and said "failing"
    OK.....I can understand that.....I guess my hard drive crashed (on my 2 year old Powerbook...oh well)
    But, why can't I start up with any of my boot disks (Disk Warrior, TechTool) only the Tiger install disk. Also the Panther and Jaguar disks will NOT start it...only the Tiger disk works. One more thing I'm wondering....I connected my external firewire drive that has a boot partition on it that I have started up with in the past....and it won't boot my laptop either.
    Any ideas? Thanks for any insight. Guess I'll head to the genius bar tomorrow. At least my extended warranty is still good (I think).
    Powerbook G4 17 1.5 ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Here is what the outcome was:
    I took my Powerbook into Apple Genius bar (still under 3 yr. AppleCare), he determined that my hard drive had crashed. He shipped it for me to be repaired.
    It came back with a message attached saying that the source of the problem was my 3rd party RAM, which was a 1 GB module. The note said that the memory had been removed...and that in some cases like this the removed memory will be sent back to the customer and will be in the box somewhere. I checked and it wasn't there. The "Get Info" for my system said I was now running on 512 mb instead of the usual 1.5 GB. The note said that this 3rd party RAM had caused the hard drive to fail, so the hard drive had been replaced.
    I ordered a new 1GB RAM module from Apple for $300, didn't want to take a chance on 3rd party again. But....when it arrived, I went to install it....and my 1GB 3rd party module was in the slot....it just wasn't pushed all the way in I guess. I pushed it in firmly, closed up the computer, started it, and the "Info" read 1.5 GB again. I ended up removing the 512mb module and replacing that with the new 1GB one I bought from Apple. So now I have 2GB of memory and and extra 512 that I can't use. It has been running fine ever since (more than 2 months)
    Can bad RAM really make a hard drive go bad?
    I wonder why they said they had removed the RAM, but it actually had not been removed (at least not completely)

  • Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

  • Can you still sort songs by popularity, name, etc.

    Can you still sort songs by popularity, name, etc.? It does not appear as thought these options are still available.

    Hi Jim,
    I tried both things suggested and neither worked.  This just happened after updating. 
    Like thousands of others, I got an error message MSVCR80, and had to delete all Apple programs from my desktop and re-load iTunes. Since updating, nothing iTunes related has operated properly on my iPad, or Desktop.
    Very frustrating.  A service request to Apple results in a charge for service.  Very unfair since it is their own update that is causing the issues.
    Thanks for the suggestions.
