Missing as in, if I do find it and try to do something with it, iTunes will say "The file is not there; want to look for it?"

I suspect there are two of them, because every time I sync iPad, I get two pop-ups of "one item failed to sync, ask iTunes for the reason" But there are never any pop-ups on iTunes.

  • Go ahead and add that link to the answer. – WGroleau Dec 16 '15 at 05:30
  • I think it would be better to flag it as a duplicate, make it twice as easy for people to Google the answer in future. 'cos, whilst my answer 'works' for a given value of 'works', the other one is a whole lot smarter ;) – Tetsujin Dec 16 '15 at 07:26
  • OK that's cool. I just wish the "duplicate finder" were better. Every question I ask offers me dozens of "possible duplicates." Rarely is there an actual duplicate listed. Yet in five or ten percent, a duplicate exists that isn't listed. – WGroleau Dec 16 '15 at 16:52

iTunes will put an exclamation mark in a circle against any tracks it cannot find the source file for. It doesn't do it during sync, but if you select all and then Get Info, the ones missing will be flagged.

You could perhaps scroll down & look for that.
View by My Music > Songs if you can't narrow it down to a specific playlist.
