Help please! iTunes is not being cooperative!

Question

my iTunes puts those little exclamation points next to about 200 of my songs and i have to remove them all manually! is there anyway to fix this? it says the songs are not found and i have to search finder and open each individual one

i also just transferred all of the data on my desktop to a laptop if that affects anything

Answer 1

make sure that the folder that all those songs are under is still available like you didnt delete it or anything  

Answer 2

Go to Advanced and click on Consolidate library, after that delte ur old music files (make sure they have all been copied) and if that doesnt solve the problem im afraid you are not experiancing the same problem i did.
