cannot locate song

when I click on a song in my library on my pc it tells me that I cannot locate it and shows an exclamation point next to it. This has happened since I transferred to a new laptop

Hi Elenafgg,



When tracks in iTunes display a User uploaded file it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. If you recently bought a new laptop, the iTunes Media folder may not have been transferred from the previous machine. For this issue, see the following article:

If you do not have access to the old machine and your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

Thanks,
