Why doesn't my Sondy PS located my music files in Itues??

I want to use my Sony PlayStation to play my Itunes music on my home theatre system however, I am unable to locate my music files. Is this due to them being saved as Apple Lossless or is it due to proprieity issues between the two devices??

Why does Itunes keep losing the location of music files?

Itunes will lose the location of the music files. they clearly listed under the right album and proper order but when you select a song a exclamation mark shows up and a window pops up asking me where it can be located. I don't know, Itunes lost it, I haven't done any maintenance work to the hard drive that I know of other than clean the registry on my firefox search engine.

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. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
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.
i may be able to give some more focused advice once there is a clearer picture of where things are.

Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library?

Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library? I copied these files to my iMac from an old PC laptop that no longer has internet access.

After downloading via iTunes, I move MP3 files from the default iTunes podcast folder to another folder (on an a external disk), I also change the name of the file and I change some MP3-tags.
You download from the iTunes store, delete the podcast, mess with it, move it around, rename it, change the tags then try to add it back to iTunes?
I want all my files in one index, the iTunes Music Library
In iTunes, right click - get info, click the Options tab and set *Media Kind:* to Music.

Why can't itunes locate my music files when they are there?

I think that this happened when I checked off both "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library."I had all of my files located at C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media and then I noticed that itunes made folders for all of of my music files because I have checked off the keep iTunes media folder organized. Ever since then, itunes can't find all of my files but only some of it and I don't want to go one by one to locate all of the songs. All of my songs are located in the same location which is C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I changed it to this location because all of my song files are located there and the place where it was located before, I didn't find the song files on there. I also noticed that itunes would oragize and create folders for my songs in the my music library and I thought that was the reason why itunes couldn't find the files because they were in the wrong location so I moved all of those folders to C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music So, is it because all of my files are in folders since itunes organized them? All of my files are in album, artist, and song title folders. Where should all of these folders be located at? Also, iTunes creates multiple folders that have the same name and should I just leave the folders be or organize them myself because I have folders that have the same exact name as in the artist and title but it has different song files in the folders. Should I combine the files into the same folder that have the same artist or should I just leave it that way? Please ,I really need help as I have tried almost everything.

Why is my Windows 8 computer unable to locate my music files?

My itunes are in the cloud. My ipad and iphone pull all songs from the cloud as did my old Vista computer. My new Windows 8 computer does not recognize that my music files are in the cloud. When attempting to play a song, a window will pop up saying " The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Song files were also transferred over and it is unable to locate those as well. This is a problem for another computer user because her songs are not in the cloud.

If the media is in the cloud then it is not synced to any devices.
It cannot be both ways.
Was the media moved from the old computer to the new computer? Installing iTunes does not cause this to magically happen.

Cant open itunes, gives error message, cant locate my music file

as above. i installed a new hdd and my music is now on there, on opening itunes i just get a window saying itunes is unable to locate or create the itunes folder located in my music. file is in there. followed a suggestion that i rename the file path in itunes bin file to new drive name using a text editor, no joy, uninstalled and loaded latest itunes and still the same. windows has sp2 and all updates. any ideas????

no its a new internal hdd, though the fix may be the same? cant see why it would be different both run through the mobo just different conectors and a hdd with no operating system installed, which i,m guessing is the reason itunes cant find my music in windows on the c drive, cos it aint there!!!

Itunes can not locate my music files.

I have just moved the whole of 'My Documents' to a new internal drive as i was running out of space in the old drive. Then after doing this, i deleted my original 'My Documents' off the old drive.
However, now about 80% of my music all needs locating. This means i would have to locate each individual file of over 2000 songs. This would take years and do not want to do this. (am not sure if this is relevant, but i have my files in various places on the computer, so not all in one folder.)
Have you any suggestions? I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks.

I am experiencing this problem also, I can see all 1336 of my songs, but it only plays about 30 of them. the rest it keeps saying cannot find music. Also It will not connect to the store due to no internet connection...I am always connected via broadband. I can access the store thru the internet but not itunes...please help!!!!!

HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Need help changing location of music files on my compute

I purchased a separate hard drive to store my itunes music files. I copied the music from the default location on my hard drive to the new hard drive. How do I change the path on the iTunes site to the new hard drive location?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Undo what you've done, and follow these directions to consolidate your library:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364?viewlocale=en_US
Also, you might consider giving your exHD a letter pretty far down in the alphabet, so when you plug in other USB devices, the drive letter won't change in Windows. That can cause itunes to lose the path to your music with the ! file not found message.

Itunes can not locate some music files

I have a large music collection of approx. 35k songs. A few days ago about 10% of my music appeared in itunes with that exclamation point symbol and basically lost its location. If I click in the song it says that it could not locate file. The audio files are correctly placed in the itunes music folder but manually relinking them will take me forever. I have tried changing the location of the itunes music, updating library and consolidating library (even though my music was all in one folder) and it did not work. Any ideas? Cheers, Roberto

I cannot speak for the Windows user, as I do not know whether the program acts as it does on a Mac.
For the Mac, though, Roberto may consider this recommendation. It may end up as a very long process since he mentions that he has 35000 tracks in his library.
There are two alternatives: the first would have you removing all of your iTunes files EXCEPT the one containing the actual music files. If your music files are stored independently on an external disk, all the better, as this means you can dispose of all of the files and folders INSIDE the folder called "Music" in your personal directory. Doing so will destroy all of the ancillary information that concerns your music library including artwork, but if you copy the contents to an external drive before you delete it on the startup, you will be able to retrieve it if it is not available at the iTunes store. After you have deleted the files, restart the computer, open iTunes and check your preferences. The preferences should be set to the way that you had them prior to this deletion. You should also verify that there are NO music items in your library before you proceed.
Once you are satisfied that your preferences are set properly (and you have logged into the iTunes store for the cover art), choose ADD TO LIBRARY from the FILE menu. A window will appear that will allow you to navigate to your iTunes music folder. DO NOT OPEN the folder containing all the music, but click once on it then click CHOOSE, and the process of reentering all of the files will begin. Depending on the actual file size/type, this process may take as much as several hours. You may want to stay with the computer while this process is ongoing in the event that iTunes sends you an alert message.
The alternative to this would have you leaving your iTunes folder exactly as it is but following the exact same procedure outlined above. Unfortunately, this method could take much much longer, as iTunes will stop at each of the albums that make up the library to ask whether you want to delete the original or not (the answer would be YES). This would be preferable if, like me, the user has a lot of cover art that is not available through the iTunes store (I have about 20K classical music tracks that come from CDs long out of print, so this would save time scanning artwork). I would not recommend this alternative unless more than 60% of the listings are posing problems.

Why doesn't the map search locations and only drops pins?

I started a project in iPhoto and used the map to show various locations. It was easy to insert the locations as the map searched them for you. Now I only appear to be able to drop pins and label them. This is going to be very time consuming if I have to precisely search each location manually... Any suggestions?

How do you set the location of a phot if it has nort recorded the GPS co-ords ?
I cannot see a way to drop a pin !... Tx
This discussion is about photos on the map pages in a photo book. You can drop pins on the map of a book to mark a place, but that does not assign a location to a photo.
While viewing a map in a book, ctrl-click a place on the map and select "Drop Pin".
Adding location data to photos is not supported in Photos. I hope, the next update will add this necessary feature.
Send feedback with a feature request: Apple - Photos - Feedback
For the time being, you have to add GPS coordinates to the photos before importing them to Photos.
You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, houdahGeo, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.
If you updated iPhpto to version 9.6.1 before the update, you can still use iPhoto.
Just drag it back to the Dock from the Applications folder.
If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

Why doesn't the CreateBackup=True generate a .xlk file?

What is different in Excel 2010 that is preventing a backup from being created when saving a .xls as a .csv on a network share drive?
If we generate the CSV from Excel 2003, the backups are created. From Excel 2010, they are not. It does not matter if the file was saved as a .xls version. It also doesn't matter if the CSV is created using VBA code (where CreateBackup=True)
or you check the option when saving the CSV to "always create backups".
Saving the .xls file with "always create backup checked" DOES generate a backup on the network.
Saving the .xls file as a .csv with the option checked on the local drive also DOES generate a backup.
Is there a setting or different VBA code we can use to allow the backup files to be created from saving a .CSV on the network using Excel 2010?
Thanks

Hi,
Please try to create a new workbook template to use as the basis for any NEW workbook first.
Click File>Save As> scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select
Click the Tools> General Options > Check Always create backup
Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
We could use the VBA, here is a sample:
If ActiveWorkbook.CreateBackup = True Then
MsgBox "Remember, there is a backup copy of this workbook"
End If

Why doesn't this replace the XML in my file?

I am trying to write some code that replaces some XML in a file. The first part works (opening the file, locating the XML, replacing it). When I save the file, it contains the original XML not the modified XML.
I used the Get XML method to retrieve the text I wanted to change, Setting the Value property of the node doesn't seem to work but I don't know what else to try - I need the equivalent of a 'Set XML' invoke node but I haven't found it.
Any ideas? Am I even close?
(I'm new to XML and manipulating it in LabVIEW and I'm glazing over now so ideas which don't involve reading another 20 documents would be really appreciated, thank you )

Well, Darin was first and I had same idea with XPath... So I'll post it anyway, just for the sake of effort taken
Actually, using XPath does not require "20 documents", it is quite easy, so I'd recommend you to take a look at it if you're going to use XML.

Why doesn't Firefox have an ADM/ADMX GPO file?

I've been using Firefox for years, and it's always been my favorite browser. But working in our environment we push Firefox to our users, but we have no control of the software. Things we want to do are; allow pop-ups, disable auto-update, enable certain plug-ins and a few other settings we want configured.
Why is this never tackled by the Firefox development group? I've seen 3rd party ADM\ADMX but they only last for a version and won't work again.
Why won't Firefox do this for the business users? It's been brought up time and again.
