iTunes cannot find music (suddenly)

Similar Questions

• Recurring issue with iTunes - iTunes cannot find songs, a need to search for them.

  A few months ago, I ran out of space on my 27 "iMac - so I bought a time capsule (3 TB) and I moved the iTunes library to the TC - problem solved.

  New problem is that every week, or more earlier, iTunes 'loses' half of my library and I need to go back and find a song manually, and then iTunes will begin to establish links and find all the songs.

  So, what happens here and what I can do to solve this problem?

  I'm running the OS and all software up to date.

  How exactly did you move the library?  Many people say that they moved a library and in fact moved only part of it. Your question is similar to this. Probably the Capsule will sleep and when the active iTunes search for files it cannot find them.

• How is it, iTunes cannot find my Installer 6464msi to finish the update?

  I tried to update. I tried to uninstall/reinstall. For about six months now, my iTunes cannot locate the required package (iTunes, 6464msi).

  I can easily locate in my downloads. I have same open it and run from the download files. But at the end of the update process and read error happens with all methods, which reads:

  The feature you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource.

  Click OK to try again or enter a different path to the folder containing the installation package iTunes6464msi.

  (Browse)

  Even if I try to use 'Browse' to access my downloads, installation package does not appear. And if I click OK to try again, the result is the same (see above).

  This has happened when I had Windows 7 and always with my upgrade of Windows 10.

  Please share any wisdom and insight, that you may have. And I thank you.

• "The system cannot find specified file", or "refers to a location that is not available" in my folder music Public

  I have a problem with several files that I can't remove. I bought a new laptop Windows 7 a few months ago, and my music library is located in an old Mac I installed iTunes and copied everywhere, but for some reason, a couple of directories has become corrupted in the process. I was able to move a couple of them from 'C:\Users\Public\Music' to 'C:\Corrupted records' so I don't have to look at, but one of them is

  refusing to move. If I try to open it, I get the message "C:\Users\Public\Music\P.O.D. refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the informaqtion could have been moved to another location. »

  If I try to get the properties, the type of file is a folder (.) that opens with Windows Shell common. Reading alone and Invisible are unchecked. It is not shared. The requested security information are either unavailable or cannot be displayed. There are no previous Versions. I tried optimizing for music and General items.

  I tried to remove it from a command line, and although he can be seen in the directory, I get an error if I try to delete or move it. I tried to delete it in Mode without failure. I tried to create another folder with the same name, and it creates a folder without end '. ", I'm able to remove, but the original is still there. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and iTunesHelper.exe cessation force.   I ran a chkdsk.  I looked in the registry. I tried to reboot in safe mode and try it. I tried to create a new account and delete from there. I tried to reset the permissions. I even deleted my entire library of music. If I try to change properties it tells me that the "system cannot find specified file."

  This issue is driving me crazy... I should be able to just go and start over, but I won't be able to copy this particular music folder. I could live without it, I suppose, but I wouldn't not to-I fear that this will happen in folders more if I can't find a solution. I could ignore it, but I am too a retention... I installed servers in a previous life, and when such things happen that we do something more deep is what concerns me in particular.

  Any suggestions? Please?

  Hi Zarebeth. I have the answer to your problem. The problem you are having is the same problem I had, it's a file name that ends with a '. '. (one point). That's THE problem, which has also caused all of your previous attempts remove this folder to fail. Windows does not allow you to create such a file, but Mac FACT (you mentioned that your music library lay on an old Mac)! Try for yourself, create a folder in Windows called "P.O.D." and Windows automatically re-writing this folder as "Painter" (note the last missing point). MAC doesn't have a problem with that, you can call your folder "P.O.D." witout any problem (but also allows you to call this 'Painter' folder (note the last missing point)). The only problem is when a folder created on a Mac device ends on a computer Windows, that happened when you copied the musicfolder of your Mac on your Windows 7 laptop. For example, I had the problem with music "C:\Users\Public\Music\M.I.A" and "C:\Users\Public\Music\T.I." after that I copied the files from my Ipod Touch (also a feature of Mac of course) for my new Windows 7 laptop to function.

  Now, I can only tell you how to remove this folder, I don't know how to recover all the data that have remained in this "indelible" folder (if any). What you can do of course, is to return to your old Mac, rewrite the "P.O.D." folder as "Painter" (note the last missing point) which will BE recognized by your computer laptop Windows 7.

  It's very simple, and you'll wonder how the sollution might actually be this simple :))

  GO to "command prompt" (start > all programs > Accessories > prompt) then in the command prompt (the small black screen with white letters), you type (in your case):

  RD/s '\\?\C:\Users\Public\Music\P.O.D.

  RD is as a function of deleting files (not for the files).

  You will then be asked if you are sure "(Y/N)" and then of course, you type 'Y' and press enter! " And like that... begone is the folder which you so frustrated! Happy days are back! : )

• iTunes loses contact with (cant find) music on USB

  Years, I kept my large collection of music & audio book, etc. on a USB key, keeping my clear computer memory. I have set itunes NOT organize or copy music, leaving in the folders I find convenient. I have no problem setting up itunes and adding music and audiobooks to itunes then manually transferring what I wish for my iphone and ipod. However, if I accidentally open itunes on my computer, when the usb drive is disconnected, or have used the computer with this disconnected, when I reconnect the usb drive itunes tells me that

  

  for EACH element in my music collection! The only way I know is "reconnect" itunes with music delete all items on itunes and re - import all my music. I was never able to find information on this itunes forums. I would be so grateful for the help to solve this long-standing problem.

  However, if I accidentally open itunes on my computer, when the usb drive is disconnected, or have used the computer with this disconnected, when I reconnect the usb drive itunes tells me that

  This is the right answer!

  If iTunes is open and can not find the location of the library designated, it will immediately default to the local disk.  So, even when the replacement of the USB, iTunes won't to get there.  So, if you want to have your library on the USB port, always make sure that it is connected before launching iTunes.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

  I'll certainly try and help you get the problem solved. Please provide us with some answers for a better understanding of the issue.

  1. Since when are you facing the issue?

  2 are logged as administrator?

  3. where's the music folder?  Located internal or an external storage device?

  4. do you have an anti-virus installed on the computer program?

  5. are you aware of any recent software or the hardware in the computer changes?

  You try to open the file as administrator. Right-click on the file and select run as administrator.

  You can also try to launch an online scan and check if that helps.

  Microsoft safety scanner

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  You can also start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists. If the problem persists, you can start the computer in a clean boot state, and check if all third-party software may cause the problem. Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.

  Hope this helps and provide us more information if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

  Right-click on the pasteboard, and you should have a choice of colours from timeline menu.

  I would add that you should have a file to open it or it won't work.

  Outlook Express cannot find the newly created files to attach. The files are there in My Documents and Outlook Express can still see all the old files, but each new file for the last month is not seen and cannot be attached. I even typed in the name of the file and it says can not find the file of the same name. I send you the files now through 'Send it' a service online, but complicated to use another program. I checked the 'views' and they seem ok. Help, please!

• iTunes cannot be opened...

  When I try to open iTunes, this message appears: "iTunes cannot be opened while it is being updated. AppStore says updated to El Capitan. I don't want to update lest Photoshop CS6 will not work.

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  Step 1

  The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

  Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

  While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

  Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

  After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

  * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

  Step 2

  The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.
