Why can't iTunes find any of my music

Hi
The photo above is only the start of my current issues.
Bascially after moving my music from my Macbook HD to a seperate Wifi HD in my house iTunes can not "locate" my music. That is kind of a seperate issue, as I know how to put music back on to my computer from the Wifi HD. THe reason I moved it was that I was consuming 90% of my 320G memory.
Now I am getting this iCloud error message on almost every single iTunes song I have bought. That is thousands and thousands of pounds of music cant be played.
This iCloud problem is also effecting iMatch to my iPhone and iPad as well...!!!
Anyone have any ideas whats going on ????
Please help
Gareth

HI THanks for this helpful post. I will try this. I have 2 iPods. One is 3rd Gen. I love the little small square, so I bought it on ebay. Then I got a little iPod nano ( again a tiny square shape)
So I tried to sync them today and update them.
This is the response I got.
I get a message that the original file cannot be found and asks if I want to try and locate file. I locate the file and it's empty?!
This freaked me out because I have all this music I love. The only thumb drive is my back up drive which is not a thumb. Will the back up drive have my music files too?
Thanks-Peace Out

That would fall under Browsing History. Firefox > History -> Show All History
Firefox doesn't use Temporary Internet Files for anything except Windows Media files.
Type '''about:cache''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />

WHAT is "Hibernate this Group" and why can't I find ANY information on this and HOW to get accidentally hibernated groups BACK???

This is REALLY getting me frustrated! What is "Hibernate this Group"? Why can't I find any information on it? Why can't I get groups back that have been accidentally "hibernated"? There is a "moon" symbol on my upper right screen that says "Hibernate this Group" and I don't know what it does or how it works! AND I accidentally "hibernated" a group when I clicked on it too long and a bunch of "zzz's" showed up and then it was GONE! How do I get it all back? And why isn't there a tech center I can contact to help with this???

This sounds like some third-party app or extension, because this functionality is not in Firefox by default. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] should remove it

Why can't I find any of the Star Wars movies in the iTunes Store?

I can't find any of the movies.

Apple can only sell what the content providers grant them licenses to sell - if the film studios haven't granted Apple a license to sell those films in your country then Apple can't sell them there

Why can't iTunes find the music from an external hard drive?

I moved my music to an external hard drive to free up space on my old laptop. Since I moved to a new laptop, iTunes never seems to find the music. I have to go through and manually select a song for it to find it one and then it says should it use this to find the rest of the songs. Then it crashes. I have reinstalled iTunes tonight with no real improvement. I want to be able to create a playlist to upload to my new iPad as well as updating music on my iPod but I can't do any of it. Please, any advice!

Has the new laptop given the external drive a different drive letter?
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Why can't iTunes find all of my iPhone backups?

This has happened to me a few times, but the story is this: I back up my phone to my computer and yet when I then wipe the phone and try to restore from backup, iTunes cannot find the backup. I have an iPhone 5 and a mid-2012 Macbook Pro with Retina Display. The list of backups in Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup includes the backup I want to use, but iTunes just doesn't see it. This is what the Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup folder has in it:
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00-20130918-161854
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00-20130918-162244
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00-20140320-131013
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00-20140320-131702
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00-20140508-191124
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00-20140916-153119
3d91fca9e1ef559f5fd5ac236fda1f9bbd68bb00-20140916-161645
I am trying to restore from today's backup (20140916-153119) from before I restored my phone. The second one from today (20140916-161645) is from after I wiped the phone. Unfortunately, iTunes gives me the option to restore from every backup in this list except for the one I want. Why is this happening and how can I get iTunes to see my backup?

Why can't I find any matches ?

My first query select PONumber and itemNO from table1 based
on the document number entered in the form.
<cfquery name="qryName1" datasource="dbName">
select
PONumber,
rtrim(itemNo) as itemNo
from table1
where documentNo = '#form.documentNumber#'
</cfquery>
I then take the two fields retrived and match it against this
table, to get the pGR and netPrice.
<cfquery name="qryName2" datasource="dbName">
select pGr, netPrice
from OpenPO
where
(purchDoc = '#qryName1.PONumber#' and Item =
'#TRIM(qryName1.itemNo)#')
</cfquery>
What is happending is that the PONumber matches but the
itemNo does not match. That is why I rtrim in the sql in the first
query and trim in the where clause in this query but it still does
not find a match. Both items are defiend as nvarchar 5 in the sql
tables. I even used cfoutput to show the len and it is 5, so there
are no blank spaces, yet it still will not find a match, and I know
there are matches.
Any anybody tell me what is wrong and/or what to look for
?

NYG,
Can you pull out the raw data from the OpenPO table on the
Item col for the record you want? Perhaps by altering query2:
<cfquery name="qryName2" datasource="dbName">
select pGr, netPrice, Item
from OpenPO
where purchDoc = '#qryName1.PONumber#'
</cfquery>
I realize this might bring back several records but it could
be helpful to see what the DB has versus what you're comparing.
In addition, what happens if you adjust the query2 where
clause to use a like for the itemNo)?
where (purchDoc = '#qryName1.PONumber#' and Item like
'%#TRIM(qryName1.itemNo)#')
Also, more out of curiosity, does anything change if you
alter query1 to change the name of the alias for ItemNo:
<cfquery name="qryName1" datasource="dbName">
select
PONumber,
rtrim(itemNo) as itemNum
from table1
where documentNo = '#form.documentNumber#'
</cfquery>
More curious than anything on that last one!

Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment. The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!!
I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago. No problem in media payer - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album. Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.

HT6119 I live in Australia and I want to buy books written in Spanish. Why can't I find any at the iBook store?

Is it a way to buy books in other languages?

You can only buy the books that are available in your country's ibookstore. If there are particular ibooks that you would like to buy in Spanish then you can try requesting that they be added, but unless the publisher/rights-holder for Australia agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why can't I drag any of my music to iphone

I have my iphone 4 plugged in and it shows up in itunes 10.4.1 on the sidebar, but I can't drag any songs onto it. I had my phone replaced a few weeks ago and this is the first time I've tried to put any music on there. Any thoughts?

Probably because yoiu do not have the manually manage music box checked.
