Problems with iTunes and Windows 7

When I try to access a song from the library in iTunes, I get the following message "the song 'xxx' could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? "Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

It also is an exclamation in the far left column in the iTunes library.

This can happen if you have NOT the "copy files in my itunes media folder when adding to my library itunes." selected, and you have a network drive mounted where you have added files. If you launch iTunes and the same drive is not mounted, iTunes think that files are missing.

The same is true for any situation where the path to your media files: either mount you a network drive in the 'shared media folder"and change the share name"Press Kit "... This happens with local directories as well if you leave not iTunes manage your media files (which you should NEVER do) and you do not copy the files of your iTunes media folder. Changing the location of your media or any what part of the path to these files gives you this error.

This can also happen if you have completed the transfer of songs to your iTunes media folder - even if iTunes displays the files in your media list. I added about 200 discs in my iTunes library (which I had managed for years with full ID3v2 v1 EPAS, and Custom embedded in each file tagging support). When my computer restarted because Microsoft updates installed automatically (although I had that option enabled OFF...), I lost access to all files that they appear in my library. Try to add the duplicate error message gives me.

iTunes is the worst.

My only solution is to delete all files with the. and restart Windows. Start itunes and then log out of your account. Reconnect to your iTunes account and add the files of 'missing' again. If you do not use iTunes, you may use a more robust solution like helium... by far my favorite.

Good luck with your multimedia library. Best wishes

  • Problem with Skype and Windows 8

    Received a new computer with Windows 8.  Skype came on the computer and worked great for a day.  Now it shows people I'm "unavailable" even if I'm registered.  When I make a call, it sounds just and rings and the person I call does not get notification.  Should I uninstall the Skype that came on the computer and download another version?  Any suggestions?  Please make simple answer - I'm NOT techie and I need Skype to work for my company!

  • Problem with iTunes on Windows 10 12.4.1-

    Recently upgraded iTunes to version 12.4.1 and now my older iPod (a classic and a Nano) will not be synchronized.  New devices (iPhone, iPod Touch etc.) seem to be good, but older devices show as 'corrupt' attempts to restore the iPod do not seem to work, and now music has been deleted during the restore process, in my opinion, it is a problem with the new update running on Windows 10.  I installed iTunes 12.4.1 on a Win7 machine and two older iPods have been recognized and synchronized well - isn't the device - still on the machine Win10 it still shows up as damaged files no matter how many resets / reboots etc I do... someone else has this problem?  Yet all the patches?

    Yes - same thing here. Windows 10 and my iPod Nano 4th generation syncs not - says it is corrupted. When I plugged on my Macbook, it was fine. Maybe we can install old version of iTunes?

    If your computer is actually turn off and isn't just pass in "Sleep" or "Hibernation" during a scan, and this happens only when you run an analysis, then I must say that yes there is a problem with this security on this computer suite.

    Personally, I'm worried about the security suites.  They developed gradually bigger and bigger, which requires more system resources, and when they fit well with a particular operating system, they can interfere with its normal functions.  My preference is to use a good antivirus and Windows Firewall.

  • problem with RBR and Windows 7 on of T400

    Had good performance with RBR on T61P and Windows XP, still in service. Now also under Windows 7 on transfer of T400 and RnR 4.23 backups but having problem between machines. In particular:

    Back up machine 'A' on the external HARD drive. The backup appears when the HARD drive is seen by 'A '. Can also backup 'B' machine on the same HARD drive. This second backup appears when the HARD drive is seen by the machine 'B '. BUT the backup 'B' cannot be seen by the machine 'A' and vice versa. This prevents me from 'A' to 'B' cloning I could do before.

    RnR keep track of the original internal HARD disc, where the data came from? Or he keep track of the S/N of the machine he came? Or something else to avoid restoring to another machine.

    Thank you.

    To view all backups:

    (1) stand-alone boot RNR.  CD or pf11 if they are available.

    (2) in the main screen, select launch Advanced Rescue and Recovery (bottom left of the screen)

    (3) select restore your system

    (4) screen step1. restore all of the hard disk option.

    (5) following screen. Step 2. Choose the backup to restore from.

    On this screen is a box, you can check "list all the backups that have been created for other systems.

  • Problems with Adobe and Windows 8

    I am using the free trial of Creative Cloud market, but I came up against a HUGE problem. For the last four weeks, I tried in vain to get the CS6 to install on my computer. I have a Dell laptop with Windows 8 (which I'm already quite dislike), and I've tried a variety of methods to get the programs to install. I tried to use the adobe Download Manager (download fails after downloading each time), directly download programs (that I get an error when the instillation is 99% saying I don't have enough disk space, and I have a lot), modification of the ULA (?) code in my registry, in order to obtain instillation to run and you try to run the installation under window 7 settings does not. I am extremely frustrated, is there something I am doing wrong, or is this a common problem with Windows 8?

    Hi automatic movement.

    Try to disable the startup of microsoft services not viz antivirus etc (Ref: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es - Windows.html ) and then try to install.

    You can also activate the hidden administrator account (Ref: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista / ) then try install in this account and check.

    Alternatively, you can solve with the Setup logs. CS5.5, CS5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

    You will no more find system restore points if they are not created.

    Restore points are saved until the system restore reserves HDD space is filled. As new restore points are created, old ones are deleted. If you disable the Protection System (the feature that creates restore points) on a disk, all restore points are deleted from this drive. When you turn System Protection, new restore points are created.

  • Apple support has been unable to solve my problem with iTunes not responding do not. He started all of a sudden. A few weeks after I've upgraded to Windows 10. Reinstalles/uninstalled iTunes and nothing. Now, I can't even Apple support for help.

    All the sudden, iTunes has stopped responding. I click top and nothing. I spent over an hour with a Senior Engineer at Apple's Support, which does not give me a ticket number so now Apple can't even find the person I talked to. This person had to remember and it's been 2 weeks. I called Apple back Support and since they can't find a ticket number they told me that I have to wait until this person reminds me. This engineer had me remove and reinstall iTunes with all the other components that go with it, I run it as administrator, pretty much did all the troubleshooting I had done on my own. I have now to sit and wait, hoping that this senior engineer at Apple called me back. It's poor and poor support for iTunes. If anyone has any advice, please share.

    Thank you

    These can be things that you've already tried. Despite this, it might be interesting to try again. As another poster has said recently, though for another problem, "20th try was the charm.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Problem with iTunes gel preferences and other issues.

    I don't know why, but the week last iTunes randomly decided to not work: whenever I try to open the preferences panel it hangs and release only randomly after a few minutes only to freeze again when I change the tabs. Also, all devices that I connect so that open freezes iTunes, yet once it thaws in itself rarely after waiting an hour or more but crashes again soon after.

    I tried everything short of wiping the disk and start from scratch (not an option to be honest): followed every single link help I found on Apple's site, used several malware scanner, defragmented, made several clean install iTunes and its components.

    I'm on an ASUS N53SV win 10, latest version, all the updated drivers. I don't really know what else remains.

  • Problem installing iTunes on Windows 10

    I get an error message on the installation in the installation of iTunes to Apple Application Support. Specifically, the text reads:

    ""Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type = "win32", version = "8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken = "1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture = "amd64" '. '. See Help and Support for more information. ' HRESULT: 0 X 80073715.

    In addition once iTunes is installed and I try to open it it wont let me.

    The message "an error occurred during the installation of assembly ' Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type ="win32", version ="8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture is...» "may occur because a particular library file is not included in the supplied with iTunes distribution package or will not be installed because some unspecified reason. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC security update before you attempt to reinstall iTunes can help.

    When to reinstall iTunes, right-click on the Setup and run as administrator.
