How can I get WMP to find all my songs that are stored on an external hard drive?

I bought an external hard drive to store music for my product and WMP adds only about 30% of the songs to the Player library.  Some are wma and some are in mp3 format (added to the library and which must still be added).  I tried to uncheck Read-only after reading some responses online, but who did not stick and nothing changed.  How can I get WMP to find all my songs?

I couldn't change them to read-only.  Fortunately after the computer restarts several times it work itself.

Thanks for all the tips!

    You have to locate the files on your internal hard drive, using the Explorer, then drag and drop them on the hard drive.  If you don't know where they are on your hard drive, right click on the video file in the library and choose the location of the opened file.

  • How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

    I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

  • How can I get Tracker to find a shared review, THAT PDF initiated in another area?

    I initiated a shared for a PDF review and stored on a network server in the domain X. Subseqauently, the server has been moved to another area, call it Y.

    Now, Tracker of Acrobat cannot find the PDF file... and reviewers can no longer access the PDF.

    How can I me Tracker to find the PDF file in the new domain Y?

    No, this is not possible. You must run the test again. This is because the review server information are embedded in the PDF file and when you change the server of the review, the JavaScript embedded in PDF format is still referring to the old server. Tracker is so impossible to locate the PDF review.

    If the old review the comments of the other reviewers, you can save it as an archive and start the review on the new server on this new PDF. This way all the review comments may be stored in the PDF file, but they will be published "on behalf of" the initiator now.

    Hope that helps.

  • How can I get the music in iTunes? After saving my iPhone on a new hard drive, how to make music in iTunes?

    I'm trying to get songs from my iPhone to my macbook pro ' after saving my iPhone on a new hard drive, I want to put these songs on iTunes

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup unit and transfer of media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is itself saved separately against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

  • How can I get Windows 7 to search for locations that are not indexed when I have no indexed locations?

    I recently discovered what may be a bug or a serious error in the Windows 7 search engine, I'm not really sure of that.  Heck, it could be just that the options are formulated in a misleading way, and I don't realize.  Anyway slice you it, I have no sites indexed on my PC, or what I want, and I get no search results either.

    My settings are, AFAIK, set up so that Windows Search will search by file names and content regardless of whether the location of the research is indexed but except if it is indexed it returns no result.  As a concrete example, I have a folder with 701 files it contains.  Of these 700 more than 400 files contain the letter 'C' in the name of the file.  When the folder is indexed, they appear in a search.  When the folder is not indexed appear not at all.

    So, how to get Windows 7's search in unindexed locations?  I rarely use the search engine, in particular because it feels and is that it now seems to be, a massive downgrade on XP, but I still need it from time to time and I prefer not to index my PC just because Windows 7 will not search non indexed sections of my drives as it's a waste of given how little system resources I need to use it.

    HM, this is regrettable.  Something to try...

    Open the Indexing Options Control Panel, choose Advanced Options and click [Rebuild], which is supposed to remove and rebuild the indexes.  With the indexing service off, I could imagine that it would remove whatever remains of an index, you can have but not rebuild.  Which perhaps honest to the operation 'search the doomed drive already' goodness.

    I go through this process when I disabled indexing, and done, I can search and find things.  Keep hope; It can work.
