  When I try to play a song I get an exclamation point next to the song and a pop up that says: "the song could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? »

  I use Windows 10 and iTunes version 12.3.1.

  It's the path statement where the music is currently located on my hard drive:

  

  If I click on a single song from within File Explorer, it opens iTunes and the song plays without problem.

  To try to solve this problem, I went in 'Advanced' in 'Préférences' and changed the iTunes media folder location to match the location of the files on my disk hard as you can see below.

  

  Unfortunately, it did not work either. iTunes is always gives me the same message that it cannot locate the original files. I REALLY hope someone can help me finally tried for weeks to solve this problem.

  Thank you!

• When I download a WMV file on a website and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.

  When I download a wmv on an internet site and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.  I was told that the media player can miss a card.

  Hello

  1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
  2. are you able to play videos other than video .wmv successfully?
  3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  I suggest you to check if the hardware acceleration of the display device setting is too high.
  a. Click Start, click Run, type desk.cpl and then click OK.

  b. click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

  c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then move the hardware acceleration to none.

  d. click on apply and then click OK twice.

  e. If the problem is resolved after you move the slider hardware acceleration to none, contact the manufacturer of the graphics adapter driver to determine if there is an update that resolves this specific problem.

  Method 2
  The required codec is missing or damaged. If the problem occurs when you use a .wmv file, download or reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player. If you use an earlier version of Windows Media Player, upgrade to the current version of Windows Media Player for your operating system.

  If the problem occurs when you use a different format of video file, for example a .mpeg file or an .avi file, download or reinstall the appropriate third-party codec.

• "could not be used because the original file cannot be found".

  Due to the use of the program duplicate Fixer of Photos on my Mac, I now have quite a few photos in Lightroom was marked as "could not be used because the original file cannot be found" and a small! mark appears on the thumbnail.

  I would like to know if I choose these photographs (more than 400 in all of my collection of approximately 20,000) by some filter? I did not understand this point, and it would be useful to follow them down (to then define as rejected and then removed from the LR catalog) without having to wade through hundreds of folders, etc.

  Suggestions for a filter would be very appreciated.

  Tony

  PS I probably shouldn't have trashed the peaks of duplicate Fixer Photos, but this is now water under the brifge...

  Use the menu command library-> find all the Photos of missing

  To fix the icon exclamation point, read the following instructions: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

• the Player Windows media, rip a CD takes forever

  When I copy a CD it takes forever. This has changed recently because it was fast. It takes between 15 and 20 minutes to rip a standard CD. It is used to do this in 2 or 3 minutes. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest version, but it did not help. I am ripping to MP3 format 128. I ran CCleaner and Avast. Any suggestions?

  Hi razorray1,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. Do you have any third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer?
  3. What version of Windows media player installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, consult you are facing similar problem ripping CDs any other size of file and check if that helps.

  Also uninstall any of third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer and check if it helps.

• Unable to access the Player Windows Media Player mini

  Windows 7 & WMP 12 Mini Player

  I used the mini Player (taskbar) all the time in PX and vista. I was wondering why he was left out of WMP 12 and Win7? I was hoping that if a programmer reads this, you can add it before the release. (PLEASE!)

  Jasqid,
  The preview area when you highlight the WMP in the front to the back and play/pause buttons.

  So far, this is what I personally found it to be a good way to navigate.

  I agree with you, the Windows Media Player toolbar is very useful.
  It may have been infavor removed for a sleeker interface (consider the WMC gadget that you can add to your desktop).
  Whatever, lets see what the future result will, of course, Windows 7 is not yet complete. Rami

• C00D0FF4 error message when you try to share the media in the Player Windows Media Player 11 and Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit

  Hello
  I can't share my media using WMP 11.  When I try to do, opens a window of options asking how I want to share media files (with xbox, other users, etc.), and I select the options and click OK.  Then, when I return in the sharing of multimedia files to see if the media are indeed shared, a window opens informing me "Media sharing has been disabled because a required Windows setting or component has been changed. For any additional help, click Help on the Web. When I click Web help, the error code above, with a few troubshooting not.  You must ensure that Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service is turned on.  However, when I get to the list of Services, WMP Network Sharing is not.  It is also a step to confirm the ownership of a registry subkey.  When I try to access the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\HME\ [security ID], however, there is no security ID subkey.  Instead of that, by virtue of the MCH, there is a list of "default (name), REG_SZ (type) and not the value (data)".

  Suggestions about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.  Would it be useful to simply uninstall WMP and start over?  If so, how to do that?  I saw an obvious way to do it.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

• the Player Windows Media Player 11 burned CD missing information.

  I burned a CD with WMP 11 in my XP Pro machine and it played on my computer Windows 7 using WMP12. He played but no information about the albums, artists presented themselves.  I wanted to copy the CD, but I'm really sick of Unknown in my music so I won't start to pollute my new machine. Any help here. Thank you

  If you burned the files as an audio cd (one you can play in a CD player) the information will not be saved. If you burn the files on the CD as a data disc, the information must be stored.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279157

  If the two computers are connected to a router, you simply share your music and copy the files to the Windows 7 computer like that.

• How to take your side of the Player Windows Media and custimozations to a new PC?

  If you buy a new PC and want to keep all the settings/sides/customizations from the old, how do you do that? I don't want to not repeat the entire collections and re - note songs or add custom columns.

  If you use MP3/WMA and keep my ratings stars as global ratings in files is enabled in Options of WMP, the sides will be automatically transferred to the new PC, as well as music files.

  For more information, such as the counties of play and custom columns, you can use the backup of metadata to import and export your library.

• the Player Windows media 7 sound but no picture just stopped working

  Windows 7 media player on my pc hp laptop pavilion dv7 plays sound just no picture, I downloaded vlc player is the same can help you please

  You may have to reinstall the OS by doing a restore. The problem could be due to a corruption of a codec registry key in the registry.  You can also try to do a restore of the system for some older dsates and check if this solves the problem. You can also lose some files and applications that you installed after the date chosen for the restoration of the system. It is always better to lose some files rather than ending up losing the receipt of data on the hard drive.

• How can the player WIndows Media 'save' the last place, seen in a video?

  I wish WMP to be able to remember the last place/place in a video, so if I close it accidentally (instead of minimize the window), I can't spend too much time trying to find the exact location. Is this possible?

  AFAIA he can't. Note the time when you close it.

  Try a search on Google for what you want. If you find something, re post because it is of course an annoying problem. !
  See you soon,.
