iTunes can't find my music - it's looking on my mac as opposed to clouds

• iTunes can't find my music library

  iTunes can't find the music files on my hard drive.  I use iTunes 12.3.3 on my iMac with OS X El Capitan 10.11.4.

  In iTunes, I can see my purchased music, but none of my synchronized CD.  In Finder/music/iTunes/iTunesMedia/music, all my music is there.  In fact, if I double click on a song, it opens iTunes and play that song.  After that, this song is available through iTunes.

  I tried restoring iTunes Library.itl in my time Machine from before the update to iTunes.  I also tried a Finder/music/iTunes/previous iTunes library restaurant.  None worked.

  Any ideas are appreciated.  Please provide as much detail as possible; I am not much less this.

  Thank you!

  iTunes is none of the files in the media folder, it relies on the file .itl having the correct inventory.  Gong return well enough with the .itl versions should provide you for awhile before iTunes lost references to media files, but of course, it will mean also any changes you have made since then will be forgotten.

• iTunes can't find my music more

  A previous version of iTunes apparently added that the chain of file://localhost/ to the path and now iTunes can't find music more. How can I fix the path for all of my songs without having to change each of them? I already copied the folder back entire iTunes Media from the NAS to a local drive (because I suspect that this is the underlying problem for iTunes) but this does not alter the path information. All the music is now stored on a local disk, but iTunes brand each song with an exclamation point.

  The problem of 'missing file' with exclamation points occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parents, or the reader, records it feeds has been a change in the letter of the drive or you have moved a non-portable library to a different path (see make a split cell library for more details). It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

  Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl-I to get information, then click on no when asked to try to locate the runway. Look under the file tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions. If the difference between the two railroads is an additional music folder in a path, then it is a problem of layout. I can explain more if this is the case. If everything is where it is supposed to be trying to fix the security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  In some cases, iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info, or during playback of a track, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. Then, it can offer try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find titles in the same provision, artist / album, they were previously, with a systematic change to the path.

  If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files, or the library was moved from OS X to Windows, then chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies it will be difficult to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is pregnant. In this case, as long as the missing files somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script for reconnecting to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works. It may need some adjustments if your media is in a non-standard layout.

  If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

  1. The location of the media under Edition folder > Preferences > advanced
  2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location that begins file://localhost/
  3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details

  Note the addition of file://localhost/ and the reverse slashes (Windows only) is normal for a file that is not quite where iTunes is expected to find.

• iTunes can't find the music, does not recognize mouse clicks

  I am in iTunes in an environment Windows 10.

  Due to a series of hardware problems, I had to spend all my music on an external hard drive, and I think that I put in place the appropriate file structure, with songs in the album folders, album files in the files of the artist, artist folders in a folder titled music and this folder in a folder called iTunes. The library database is on C, where is the iTunes program. No matter if I put iTunes preferences to search for music in E:\\iTunes\ or E:\\iTunes\Music, it can't find about 60 000 pieces. If I orders of iTunes to the location of the 1 of them, it can not find others in the same album folder which it considers as missing. AND, at this point, iTunes begins to ignore mouse clicks; so I can not help it find any music more without stopping it through master. (This is a newly installed version of iTunes, I can't get it to display the version number).

  If I left click on the icon of iTunes in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, nothing happens. If I right click I can get iTunes to view by clicking on "go to the current song," which shows the current song, but also shows a spinning blue "O" (windows 10 equivalent of the hourglass).

  Any ideas on how I can:

  -Download iTunes to see all my files;

  -Recognize mouse clicks?

  Thank you.

  False alarm on the mouse click on the question; the program was busy to search for files and insensitive to the clicks as it did.

  He found all but about 2 000 files. It is a manageable number for me locate manually.

• iTunes can't find my music files

  In Windows employer all my music files are in the folder itunes/music/itunesmedia. My itunes is also set at this place, but most of my music has the explanation mark and will not play? What can I do?   I recently tried to clean my multiple file locations by moving ALL my music files to this place, have closed and reopened itunes and have executed the "consolidate files."  No assistance

  The "missing file" error occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the reader, he feeds has been a change to the drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

  Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl - I to get the information, and then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Because of a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say no twice!) Look under the Summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions.

  Re: Location of files

• iTunes can't find my music.

  I had my iTunes library on an external drive for my MacBook Pro running Yosemite.

  The drive is dead, but I had a backup and restored the library (the folder iTunes Media, to be precise) on a new drive.

  I put as my media folder in iTunes, but iTunes says that it cannot find my music when I click on a track. He said, for example, "the song" Copland: Appalachian Spring - 7 "» Doppio Movimento "could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? "I say Yes. He then asks: ' you want iTunes to use the location of the ' Copland: Appalachian Spring - 7. Doppio Movimento "to find other missing files in your library?" Again, I say Yes. At this time, finds this file it says that it cannot find the other missing files.

  Is it possible to fix it other than looking for each track?

  Open iTunes hold Alt (option):

  you see what to do: "choose library".

  After that, he opens that library when starts normally.

• After restoring my computer and iTunes download, iTunes can not find my my music files.  They have to be in the specific format or a folder iTunes for a recognized?

  I had to restore my computer from the ground upward.  I save my music files and then reloaded after the system restore.  Then, I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  But apparently iTunes can't find my music restored files.  I use a 10 newly installed Windows.  Y at - it a particular format to place the music files should be put in order for iTunes to see.  Or maybe a procedure that I did not follow properly.  Please notify.  Thank you.

  If you have registered to the iTunes library database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key is pressed and choose this library. If this isn't the case, slide the song files into the application window open iTunes or add it automatically in the iTunes folder.

• How can I find the music marked with an exclamation point in my itunes library?

  How can I find the music marked with an exclamation point in my itunes library?

  Hello there rdgernnr!

  I certainly don't want to find the songs that show the "!" and get them to play correctly. If you have not yet done it, read this article: If you see an exclamation point next to your items in iTunes - Apple Support

  More precisely:

  Correct the path of the media file

  Follow these steps to help find the correct location of the file iTunes media:

  1. In iTunes on your Mac or PC, select the song, album, movie, or television show that has the exclamation next to him.
  2. In the MenuBar at the top of your screen, computer or at the top of the iTunes window choose Edition > read the information.
     If you are using Windows and you don't see the menu bar, Learn how to turn it on.
  3. When you see a message asking if you want to locate the file, click search.
     • If you know the location of the file, point to it iTunes and try to read your content.
     • If you do not know the location of the file, search for it:
       Mac: Press ⌘ and space control your keyboard, and then type the name of the movie title, app, song, album or artist.
       Windows: Press the Windows on your keyboard, and then type the name of the movie title, app, song, album or artist. If your keyboard does not have a Windows key, press the Escape (Esc) and control (Ctrl) on your keyboard.
     • If the file is on a network drive or external, plug on the volume of disk or external network.
     • If you find your objects in the trash or recycle bin, restore them to their previous location:
       Mac: Control-click or right-click on the item and choose put back.
       Windows: Right-click on the item and choose restore.
  4. Once you retrieve the file, use Get new Info to locate the file, and then point iTunes to the correct location.

• Can, t find my music that I copied from my CD, s who used to be in my ITunes on my MacBook pro

  Can, t find my music that I copied from my CD, s in Itunes on my MacBook pro

  So you bent down to tie your shoelace and when you sat the CDs were all gone?  Is there another activity on the computer that might be associated with this mysterious disappearance as update the iTunes application?

• iTunes can usually find cover to import the CD

  Nowadays, most of the time when I import a CD (a CD published regularly a standard music label) in iTunes for Windows, iTunes can't find the album art. But Windows Media Player can. Looks like Apple iTunes is faulty (or Apple lost out on a license agreement with a provider of music information). iTunes has been much better to find album artwork. But not now.

  I have even upgraded to the latest version of iTunes for Windows offered, v 12.4.2.4 to see if the problem has been resolved, but nothing has changed.

  It is problematic that I must have a share entire library of music and the iTunes app to control the library in order to support the 3 players iPod I, when the majority of readers of music I play standard MP3 music and get music in the cloud or sync drag / drop with my PC. And now that my music library has exceeded my iPod nano, it's such a pain to change the music on this device... solution of the Apple store was buy a bigger iPod. No thanks.

  Hmm, Apple won't let me post my topic as originally written, I got one you are not allowed to create or update this content error.

  And now that my music library has exceeded my iPod nano, it's such a pain to change the music on this device

  Almost all the library world is bigger that a Nano will hold.   If you use automatic synchronization, it is very easy to change the music.  Simply use the option "... selected playlists." "(pictured below) to synchronize a subset of your music for the Nano.

  

• New hard drive, the same content, but iTunes can´t find my files

  Hey

  My previous external harddrive had some problems. I had to send to repair. Of course, I have saved my files to a new hardddrive.

  iTunes can't find my songs, even if the files are the same * they were on the last of them. I really spent a lot of time organizing all my music into different playlists, so I would really have appreciate some help with this.

  How iTunes to find the location to all my titles?

  Thanks in advance for any advice that could help me solve this problem!

  You can try to find a track with iTunes and then let iTunes find others when he offers.

  You can make sure that the name of the drive is exactly the same as that of the old, and structure of entire folders to iTunes from the top down is identical.

  It happened because you're using a shared library.
