• Display music files in iTunes but do not appear under my folder music in XP

  I just opened the My Music folder, and most of my music files and folders have disappeared - I have no idea how that happened as I didn't move all the files to another location. However, these 'missing' files still play on iTunes, but when I search for them, they are not displayed. What can I do to make these files appear in the music folder?

  Thank you very much.
  * original title - Lost music files *.

  Unfortunately, I do not use any iStuff or iDevices.

  But if possible I would try to save the music files which are playable in a different location via the iTunes player - if possible.

  This can create an identical copy of your music, but it is better to create a backup copy while you still can.

  in all cases, sometimes the files become not indexed in the master file table.

  what you might try is to run a disk check which reconcile the file system.

  by the way, you either have your music files on the same drive that has your programs and windows system files?

  If so, then the music files can also be very fragmented.

  If it was my system I would separate permanently from the personal files, photo and music off the coast the main drive.

• Music watch 65.4 GB files folder but no files in the folder

  I bought a 1 to Digistore external hard drive - a few years ago, and I used it to store all my media since: photos, videos, music and e-books. My main reason to have the external hard drive is to simplify the process of moving these files and make sure they are more protected. I recently got a new laptop which runs on Windows 7, but also a new iPod touch. So as I got the computer a little longer, I already transferred my purchases and others from my old iPod to my new computer, and all my music to fit on the iPod 32 GB, I had to choose the option "Convert higher than 256 Kbps rate songs" in iTunes. If all transferred files were 256 Kbps. So I plug in my hard drive to your new PC and "Scan [ed] and difficulty [ed]" (which lasted 5 hours). So I decided to check the files in Windows Explorer, manually before I imported the iTunes (I also had major duplication problems, which doubled my bytes in iTunes). I discovered that all my files are intact and my photos, videos and e-books are all there, but none of my music is in the "Music" file on my hard drive, except for the 2 files that were not in subfolders. I then check 'Properties' to the 'Music' file and there 65.4 Go in the folder, but the records are all empty... I lost in the initial transfer to iPod music, but I really need the original quality of the files on my hard drive, as I'm a bit of a purest, I guess. I've referenced the other topics on this site, but they do not mention external drives and pressing Alt + T > Folder Options > view > show hidden files and folders did not work for me either. As far as I know, this new computer (second-hand) had no viruses, and files were able to see on my laptop XP before I plugged on the Windows 7 laptop, but now, say something to the effect of "No files in the folder" when you open the sub folders. I am seriously distressed my what, as music is a majority of my life, and I know that the files are not lost, if they still 65 GB of disk space. Could someone give me please a solution that works? Also, I noticed that when I eject my XP laptop hard drive, the light on it turns off and I can feel the drive stop its process, but when I eject on the new Windows 7 laptop, the PC says 'remove mass storage device Safe,' but the light stays on and functions still drive. I understand that this can be a huge problem, but once the device is ejected, I can't access to more info on this subject, and even when I looked to find the "Stop generic-mass" option in Windows 7, I couldn't. It seems to me that while Windows 7 has a friendlier user interface, missing some functions altogether, or complicate otherwise simple used to be things to do.

  "Make active"... There is no available disk-levelaction.  What you mean is "Mark Partition as Active".  Is not what you or the other poster may think it is, it does not have a disk "available or unavailable", that is applied to the partition level and what is the MBR to say which partition to boot when he takes control of the boot process.  In other words, the Master Boot Record has some code telling him that it loads the boot sector of the active partition, that's all.

  Not necessarily any active partition on the disk at all, often data discs do not have an active partition, active partitions are only necessary at the start of the operating systems, otherwise there is no need to have an active partition and does not mean a hill of beans in the ability to use the disc to store data.

  There can only be one active partition on a disk given at any time, if a partition is already marked as active and if you select this option to mark another partition on the same disk as active the active indicator will be removed from the active partition and the other partition will be marked as active, the active indicator will be "switched" between the partitions.  If you remove the indicator active partition used to boot your Windows installation then MBR won't be able to start Windows, and it will give you an error message indicating that he could not find an operating system to load or the boot loader is missing.

• 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.

It only allows to choice very limited and inflexible to download folders. There always will be an update for this or is - this simple impossible?

• Music files lost on PC, but still on the phone

  Hi, for some reason any selection of music files (not all) went from my PC when even records are still show here. However, the files are still on my Z3 Xperia SD card and play very well, but I can't transfer them here back to my PC... it's weird! I tried moving them via PC Companion and Media Go, but no luck.

  Is there any other way of pulling the files on my PC?

  You mean you don't see all of the files when you open the folder in the phone which contains the files in Windows Explorer?

  If Yes, go to settings-> Apps-> all-> storage media-> clear data-> OK and then reboot the phone (this will not delete your files). The phone will then rescan all your media (this can take some time if you have a lot of media files). Then check the PC again. You should be able to copy them by drag and drop in Explorer.

• Hi how to do a folder of music files separate playing alphbetically? Thank you

  Hi how to do a separate folder of music files to play in alphabetical order? the entire list? Thank you Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft community.

  I understand from the description that you want to have music files, sorted so that the files are played in alphabetical order.

  It would be useful that you could let us know what application you use to read the files.

  You can open the folder that contains the files and click on the "Change view" button in the menu bar. Click the bar above, order the names that will sort the files alphabetically. Clicking on new will result in the files displayed in the opposite direction in order alphabetical order.

  Let us know if this helped.

• How can I recover music files lost due to synchronization with another device?

  My music files have been on my Ipod Touch, then during what I thought, it was a normal synchronization, all my music disappeared from my IPod. I tried to sync again and it is still missing. Also, all my music went from ITunes.

  My computer is a PC.

  Is it possible for me to recover the files?

  Hi clowdnyne,

  With a few exceptions, all the music that you purchased through the iTunes Store, or when you use iTunes on your Windows computer or on your iPod touch, can be downloaded from the store once again, if it is still available on the store. See this article - download your past purchases.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  Sincerely.

• iTunes can't locate some of my music files. Places seems to be the same however. Help?

  My old motherboard itself killed a few weeks ago and I finally had time to take out the hard drive and transfer all my files over to my new laptop. The old and the new have been / are running the same version of Windows 10.

  I met a strange problem with iTunes (version 12.4.3) locate all my music files now. When I transferred the old files to the new computer, I did it without changing anything. All iTunes folders and subfolders are together just as they were before and so are my music from Amazon and other music files (some from other music sites, more old torn records). Nothing has changed on the level where it was stored, or how files or albums have been appointed, only the computers themselves. I literally just plugged the old hard drive, dragged all the subfolders in my music in the main folder of music on the old pC to the new folder of music from PCs and went on my way. I'm looking for the files on the old HARD drive and comparing them to the new computer and all are exactly the same.

  iTunes was no a problem of localization of music and videos in the folder iTunes at all, but it seems to refuse locate others, at least automatically. He finds some of the things Amazon, but not all, and it goes the same for ripped files. It seems to be forcing me to go through and individually, select it "!" marked songs/videos to find them manually on my computer. When I select the option automatically search and find other missing files, it tells me that iTunes could not locate the other missing files in 2000. This happens even with full albums that are located in the same folder. For example, I have a Florence + the Machine album, I bought from Amazon and all songs have been marked as being absent, so I found one of the songs manually in the album folder on my PC where are all the other songs on the album, but iTunes could not find the other songs on this album, even on its own. Normally this wouldn't be a problem and I'd go just to do one by one, but for 2000 files, it's a big enough problem. I'll be sitting here all night or add more just each individual file, even if many are together.

  I'm not sure what is the problem, but I'd like an overview of how I could speed up the process from here. I pourrait delete all photos of does to and re-add-the, but that represents only ~ 500 files, the majority is the singular songs and because I can't seem to sort my files missing library I always face the boredom.

  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

• 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

  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.
