I cannot get the files off of my library on to my new Ipod which is what I wanted to do because all of the songs have exclamation marks next to them. How do I get them to play and how do I transfer them on to my new I pod. PLEASE X X I have the same situation.

I've followed all of the steps and it worked in moving all of the music to my itunes library, but once the ipod has been disconnected, when I try to play one of the songs I get the following message: "The song "***" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Then, if I click "locate" it just takes me to all of my files and I'm not really sure what to do, as none of them open? HELP!
