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

for EACH element in my music collection!

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.

  • Satellite Pro P200 - 1KE Vista loses contact with the second internal HARD drive

    Vista Business SP2. I have a Satellite Pro P200-1KE, with two 160 GB drives: a Hitachi configured as C: (operating system, programs, etc.) and E: (data, other programs). The second is a Toshiba MK1637GSX. This little about it and nothing of any importance and is normally configured as d. Unfortunately this hard drive has now become invisible to Vista, although it is still recognized by BIOS and Device Manager. In managing computer does not appear in the list in the upper pane, it comes without a letter from reader below. I have tried everything I know to get recognized, including the following:
    (In no particular order):

    * Remove computer - managed, reset as a single Volume: it always fails
    * Reformat to NTFS using Linux GParted or utility disk Linux (via a USB stick with Linux ice Peppermint on that nerd), sometimes combined with the restoration of the system - it works, but only for a single session. She always disappears again when you restart
    * Remove the driver from Device Manager and pointing plug-and-play with Windows System 32 and Windows Update - which seems to return the driver - but does not recognized disk, unfortunately
    * Meanwhile, throughout all this, Vista insists on finding a driver for "unknown device" that she sometimes found and (allegedly) installs and sometimes find one fails to install.

    Bah!

    Anyone know anything else I can try - preferably without having to reinstall the entire operating system, or run the risk of using Toshiba Hardware Setup that does not seem to come with all the instructions and enigmatic, who wonder if I want to delete stuff 'selected', without showing me what kind of things I am alleged to have selected for removal!

    If this second HDD is not so important to try to start the original installation disk Microsoft (Vista or Win7) to see if the second HDD will be recognized for the installation procedure.
    You can also try to install Win7 on this second HDD to see if the installation is correctly finalized. Later, you can check if you can start the second HARD drive preinstalled OS.

    Test just to see if this problem is related to Vista only.

    Discs CD - R burned with the Finder in Yosemite are unreadable by other players of CD despite the burned music files individual, .aif format. When it is burned with iTunes, all right. Any ideas?

    A CD to use in an Audio CD drive must be formatted as an Audio CD.

    Finder cannot create an audio CD, instead, it creates a data CD.

    Therefore, use iTunes to create create an Audio CD.

  • Newbe to epub creation... itunes book oven will not accept encrypted files from InDesign 2014... cant find them and which fonts can use one without this problem?

    Newbe to epub creation... itunes book oven will not accept encrypted files... cant find them and which fonts can use one without this problem?

    The book oven does not accept the embedded fonts that are encrypted, even if the encryption is by the IDPF specifications.

    InDesign will not incorporate fonts unencrypted by respect for the rights of the provider of the police.

    There is no work around as I know, at least with regard to preview what will look like the fonts. If you choose not to embed the fonts then the oven should work, but then you won't be able to see what the fonts look like, no?

    What is the team of InDesign epub is simply side load the epub via dropbox or by e-mail. Two of these routes allow you to choose "open with...". "and iBooks will be one of the choices.

    Apple knows about it. I suggest that you remember that, as a customer, you are not satisfied with this behavior and asks that they go back on their decision.

  • iTunes 12.4 - most of my music cannot be synchronized

    So iTunes 12.4 erased ALL my tv shows: I had to add them. Now I go to sync music, and most of my music is not available to synchronize with my iPod. It's not by Apple music downloads; These are my songs I own & live on my computer. Hundreds of songs, and I was able to synchronize 48. Below shows what is available on my iPod for synchronization. Many of them are Apple music & cannot be in sync would be (The Beatles and Supertramp), but all the Zevon, Yuki Kajiura, some of the supercell - these are my albums & should be available to sync.

    (And don't started even get me on the interface of Podcast and the loss of almost all my podcasts).

    My guess is that it is related to your problem of TV shows.  iTunes is currently not access your media files from local storage.  If this is the reason for your problem, you see your music to iCloud.  This can occur if iTunes loses track of your files stored locally for some reason any.  Then iTunes starts to access your music to iCloud automatically, which may occur if (1) the songs are bought on the iTunes Store, or (2) you have an iCloud music library a subscription to Match iTunes or Apple music (or both).

    You can check by right clicking to get information on one of your songs that does not synchronize.  Go to the files of the Info window tab and look at the situation.  It shows the path to the location of the song on your drive, or should I say iCloud?

    This occurs if the power adapter is plugged or only if the laptop running on battery?

    You will find the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

    I would recommend the brand and disable this option.

    Hello

    Having too many competing programs from loading at startup CD/DVD can cause these problems.

    Deleted? Or did you correctly uninstall iTunes? Check with iTunes support for complete hair removal methods.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.
