Warning of ITunes that point could not be found should have more details

When I moved the ITunes library to new computer, not all files were transferred successfully.

When I tried to sync, I got the message, that some elements are not found (and the list showed a list of 100 problem)

It will be good if the list must include the original location for the simple recognition of the file, not always enough unique and descriptive names.

Unfortunately, sync was stopped after 100 errors, even I have the correct location for the other elements. ITunes should ask, what I want to synchronize all of the remaining elements and allow the to do.

Also, it will be good to copy the list to the Clipboard for easy search.

In addition, when importing to the library, I got a message that some files are not found, but do not provide a list. Again, it will be good to have the files report with full places and possibility to copy them to the Clipboard.

I am running Windows, ITunes 12.3.2.35 64-bit

The "missing file" error 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 parent folders, or the reader, he feeds has been a change to the drive letter. 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 the information, and then click No when asked to try to locate the track. Look under the Summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drives. 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 directory 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, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. He peut then offers to try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find the titles in the same layout artist & album that they were before, with a systematic change to the path.

If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it difficult to restore media on the precise way that iTunes is expected. 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.

If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

  1. The location of the media file under Edit > Preferences > advanced
  2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location which begins file://localhost/
  3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details.
