Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in the Finder: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Show in Finder.
Show
If a song doesn’t appear in iTunes anymore
Important: For best results, don’t change the location of the iTunes folder or the folders inside it.

Why do I have Intermittent Wifi Connection Loss during music streaming ?

Hello,
I have an ipad3 and an iPhone 4S and I am getting with both devices interruption of the sound when I send music to the Apple TV. It generally happens after a few minutes. The signal for the wifi is still good and I have still access to the Internet I have tried all the recommendations of the article "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections" but this did not help. I have used several applications for sending music to the Apple TV (music application from Apple and DSAudio from Synology) but I'm getting the same issue. I have also the same issue with the media center application from Bouygues Telecom connecting directly to my internet router. My router is a bbox sensation. I had also the same kind of issue with my old router when sensing photo albums to the internet: I had the error message "your system is running low on ressources". How can I solve these intermittent wifi connection losses ?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why do I have two album options in my music on my iphone but no artist option?

After upgrading my iphone 4 to the new software, I no longer have an artist option in my music. I currently have two album options instead. The first album option is fully functioning. The second album option, where I think the the artist option belongs, is stuck on a single artist eventhough I deleted all those songs. Please help because this is making listening to music a hastle and its extremely time consuming to play a single artist.

Why does it have to be difficult to sync music?

I don't understand why they can't make this **** a lil easier to use everyone seems to have iPod which IDK Y it takes all day to add songs to it Some people have better things to do besides sitting at the computer clicking 1 song after another to sync I have over 3000 songs

Well, it's complicated because the recording industry assumes we're all thieves. So, for Apple to create the iTunes music empire it's become, the start-up pain was to force Apple to agree to a bunch of access restrictions. Remember the copy protected music files of not so long ago?

Why Do I have Two Identical folders in my music Library?

Hi.
I have a music folder with 1200 songs.
I created a single compilation on itunes (ver.11) and everything was ok until i decided to put that compilation folder to my iPhone 5.
Now I have 2 folders of the same compilation on my iphone music app. The songs was not splitted in the 2 folders: every folder has the same number of tracks (1200 songs).
Itunes copied the music on my iPhone but it didn't copied the files twice, cuz i have checked the amount of space on my iPhone.
I think it depends on how many songs are in the same folder.
someone can tell me the max number of song on the same folder?
I tried to split the folder in 2 with 600 song but i got the same prob: 1 folder was ok, the other folder with ALL music track from the 2 different folders! (I name the folders (Best Of 01, and Best Of 02).
Any ideas?
Someone know how to fix this? I just want 1 folder and not 2 identical folders!
(sorry for my bad english: i dunno if I write everything in a proper way)

It may be "normal" but it is not acceptable.
Lets say I have four folders that I sync from my PC to my iPhone. iTunes then creates four folders on my iPhone with the actual photos and presumbaly the same folder names that are on my PC. Then iTunes creats another folder with pointers to all the photos, well the synced photos, not the camera roll. (Why not the camera roll too if this is such a great feature) Yes I am so dumb that I can't figure out which folder has the picture I want (even though my folder names are descriptive of the contents; Family, Friends, Work, Hot Dude's) so I go to this catch all folder to find my picture.
All it is is CLUTTER, this, like so many other bugs (poor features), should be left to the user to decide, not Apple. I don't want it there and I defenitely don't need it there.

Why do I have to keep re-downloading my music?

Questions in the title. I tend to download full albums to my mobile for use in the car. Mobile app is upto date and it is happening on the htc one m8 but to be honest it always used to happen on the S4 aswell. I am a paying user. I have no local music its all from spotify. The odd thing is its never full albums that get deleted just a track or two.

This is on my iPhone 4. I will download them and then it will randomly just decide that I will have to re-download all of the songs again. And this process just keeps repeating!!! It is annoying!

HT1351 Why do I have ! next to some of my songs and they dont sync?

Why do I have ! next to some of my songs and they dont sync?

I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

Why do I have to click connect next to 802.1X every time?

My certificates are trusted. My WPA Enterprise profile has the proper credentials. Ask to join new networks is checked. When I unplug my ethernet cable and use the wireless networking environment at my workplace, I'm always prompted to choose the network from a dialog that pops up. Whether I choose the network I always use or whether I cancel, my IP address gets self-assigned until I go into the Network prefpane and click "connect" next to 802.1X. Why do I have to do that every time?

Open iTunes preferences and go to the Store pane, then uncheck everything, esp. the Always check for available downloads.
oh yeah, VERY IMPORTANT... forgot to tell you that you have to be signed in to your itunes store account to make these changes, or to even see what the current settings are. If you are not signed in to your itunes account the whole pane will be dimmed and will show all boxes unchecked... HOWEVER, once you sign in to your account and open the store pane, you will be able to see the current settings AND the "Always check for available downloads box is checked by default.

Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult to get answers--I am not going to be able to check the website to see what anyone might reply to my question on crashing?

I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.

Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]
Run the file after you download it to the desktop.

Why does it have to be tethered???

Hi, So I'm just about ready to buy the ipad. But I am having a big problem understanding WHY this thing cannot be used in my household, because my 2 apples run Tiger. If its a matter of an occasional update, I could take it to work to do that. I phoned the apple store, the rep said It can't work or sync without Leopard within my home wireless network. I also have within my wireless network 2.5 terabit of hard-drive and the rep was unsure if the ipad could see that either...
Both of my computers are pre Intel processor, so I read that leopard & snow leopard are out of the question on my computers.
If this is suppose the be the next big thing, Why does it have to be tethered to ANY computer. This IS sold as a wireless device, NOT an extension to another computer. Am I getting bad info or what.
Please advise.

Hi,
All is not lost, I think. It's true that you'll need either Leopard or a Windows machine with the latest iTunes in order to get the iPad going. But you're right, you can just do that at work. The iPad will work perfectly after that without ever synching it again. You can do everything from the iTunes store from the iPad itself.
However, if you want to synch your music not bought at iTunes, as well as iPhone apps and contacts then you're going to have to find a compatible computer to do it on. It needs the latest iTunes which doesn't run on Tiger. But once you've synched you don't really need to do it again unless you want to add a lot of music from another source than iTunes. Of course, synching also backs up the iPad, don't forget.
As far as the gigundo drive, if the iPad doesn't recognize it, all you have to do is copy what you want synched to a smaller drive (or even a DVD) and use that instead.
Hope that helps. The iPad is most definitely an independent device but it does need a compatible computer if you want to synch stuff to it from elsewhere.

HT4972 why dont I have an update facility on my ipad

Why dont I have an update facility on my ipad

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

How to install iOS 6

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.

I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
The computer just can't remember it.

Why do BT have Customer Services

I've switched to BT; Broadband, Phone & Vision.
Everything activated fine on the date predicted except Vision. The following message appears on my 'Track your order' page :
Your Vision order is in hand with a member of our team and we will keep you updated with progress. Please continue to check online for further updates.
Consequently, my vision box is stuck on C03 error...
Anyway, after 24 hours I called customer services and was encouraged that they seemed to spot the issue straight away. The very nice lady did ‘thing’s in the background and eventually advised me to reboot the hub and then reboot my vision box and everything would be ok. However, just in case, it didn’t work, I should wait until after midnight that day.
It didn’t work. It didn’t work by midnight and it wasn’t working 24hrs later. However, the activation date on my ‘Track your order’ page had moved back a day.
So I called the next day and again was encouraged to hear they seemed to spot the issue straight away.... Ooo déjà vu! In fact déjà vu and déjà vu!
I’ve been through the same ritual for 3 days now, so my point; why do BT have Customer Services?

Thanks, I've sent them a mail...
Thought I'd try to expedite the problem though and called India this morning.
After ping-ponging around a couple of departments, I got through to the 'Vision' dept and he explained that my broadband order was not fully complete (some issue on the line/exchange!?). So he put me through to the 'Order' dept.
They said although my broadband is working ok, they can't close it off until the problem they're having is resovled -then I can get Vision.
Probably.
So why didn't my three previous calls (UK answered) just tell me that...?

I have a mac 10.5.8, Why do i have to pay for the 10.6 update?

Friends of mine have Mac's and had the update with no hassle free of charge, so why do i have to pay?

Hi,
The current upgrade to Snow Leopard is only $29.00 available here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
The Apple Discussions TOU prevents us from discussing when the next upgrade will be available or how much it will cost.
See: Terms of Use
There's no guarantee you won't be able to upgrade directly from Leopard v10.5 to v10.7. You are better off upgrading to Snow Leopard now especially if you want to use the Mac App Store.
