• Someone smarter than me--help me please understand this - songs is not found

  This issue has persisted for a long time, but I am currently on iTunes 12.5 on Yosemite.

  At a certain point in time, and I can not associate with a specific event like an upgrade, a lot of my songs 13 900 became 'broken' - impossible to locate.  Not all, just a part... maybe 1/3 to 1/2.

  I of the wrong and has given several times, not wanting to do a radical reconstruction, I just jumped the songs that have been broken.

  I let iTunes manage my library - always have.  All files, including the "broken ones" are sitting to the right users/username/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Artist...right were all I expect.

  I recently found an album which had two songs next to the other, each 'broken', the other plays very well.  If I go to the finder, they are right where they should be.

  If I look at the .xml, the key to the place said same location, any other name for the song... and this combo of place/song name matches the location in finder.

  Here are two songs from the Album even next to each other:

  

  Track 651 Sugar Magnolia is very well and plays, track 652 ngone Saturday night is "broken" and cannot be found.

  Here is the XML on the two files, you can see locations are correct:

  Here's the location of the physical file Finder of the two files:

  

  I DON'T SEE A DIFFERENCE:

  When I right click - read information in iTunes, the news of 'rent' are different - the 'broken' file includes the "file:///" and are not the songs that play very well (starts by / users /).   Meta-data are the same.

  

  The file above plays very well, it does not work (and it is compatible with all the thousands of files broken):

  

  So I am confused - any help would be greatly appreciated.  I thought I was going to need to do a simple "find and replace" to "file://", but after reviewing the file data and the xml meta-balises, I am puzzled.

  Oh Yes - here is the metadata for the song "broken" above which has the "file://" to the location:

  

  .. .it shows the location as the other playable songs... just/users /...

  puzzled

  Assuming that everything I laid out above are correct:

  How do you fix a large group of songs including "not found" If iTunes:

  (1.) the path and the name presented in the library xml is correct and

  (2.) the file is actually not exactly where the xml library says it does.

• When I try to print a web page it says selected printer cannot be found? Never had any problems until I loaded Windows 10 down. I even updated to fIREFOX.

  When I try to print a web page, it comes up with the message selected printer cannot be found.
  It was ok until I downloaded Windows 10.

  Any ideas?

  Hello, please try refreshing firefox and see if that can solve the problem...

• Why Firefox takes me to a page that says: "Oops Page cannot be found" when I click on a link in a secure site. Not with IE: only Firefox.

  If I go to a secure site and click on a link, it take me to "Oops Page cannot be found". I have reset Firefox, uninstalled and re installed, disabled my Add Ons and any other suggestions for the forum. Nothing works and that this does not happen with IE. Is the bottom line that I have to use IE for these sites? I prefer Firefox but can not solve this problem.

  You found, buddy. It was my AVG Security Toolbar. My computer will be vulnerable to the virus if it is disabled?

  Once again, thank you very much for your time.

  KUDOS to THE MODERATOR that solved the problem.

  By clicking on the sidebar in the finder, received the error of the object:

  Cannot open 'Documents' because the original item cannot be found.

  I spend a lot of stuff around recently because of a SIN that went down.  A lot of backups, transfers etc.

  Just as moving things to normal.

  Have all my backup files.

  If I go to users / #username "/ Documents I get the following:"

  Cannot open the 'Documents' folder because you don't have permission to view its contents.

  cmd - I do not show Panel permissions at all, just said I have unknown access.

  Finally, the fold icon has a small blue arrow in a white circle in the lower right corner.

  I am the only user and admin.

  Do you use a data service on the clouds that fits in the Finder, like "Dropbox" or "Google Reader?"

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  The problem can be solved by opening FF and choose the tools... To Add one... Select the SEARCH addon, then choose UNINSTALL FF browser... When asked to restart, then reload the gangsters. It worked for me. The suggestion on the 404 that says to remove the search via Add/Remove programs is completely BS, that research does not appear there.

  If you use the internet OK for other things, the problem with Outlook Express (e-mail client).

  Check your server settings and out against your ISP help pages. I've seen cox help pages that involve your incoming server should be pop.east.cox.net (note the absence of the number 3 after pop). The outgoing server may be smtp.cox.net or maybe smtp.east.cox.net.
