Added music not showing up in iTunes library

I recently bought a cd online and I tried to add it to my library. I tried it like three times, the music isn't showing up there. When I go to the "recently added" playlist, I can see the music there and it's also on my iPod, but it's nowhere to be found in the music folder. What should I do? Is my iTunes library corrupted?

right-click on one of those tracks in iTunes and choose get info. go to the summary tab and check the path to the original file.
also, in iTunes for Mac, if you right-click on a file, you get the option to show in finder (the equivalent to windows explorer). not sure but iTunes for windows might have something similar.

  • Transferred music not showing up in iTunes library

    I moved my music from a PC to Mac and now it's not showing up in iTunes. I used an external hard drive to copy all of the songs over and they are in the iTunes music folder. Is there something else I have to do to get them to show up in my iTunes library?

    Thanks Niel. I knew it had to be something simple!

    THat is working correctly.
    The iPod is not connected so iTunes cannot see the iPod.
    isnt it supposed to transfer to my library once I disconnect?
    It cannot transfer when it is disconnected because it is disconnected.
    Whats wrong with my Ipod/Itunes?
    Dunno?
    With the iPod not connected, do you have music in iTunes?
    Does it play?

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • I have songs on my iPhone but they do not show to my iTunes library. How do I get them to show?

    I have an iPhone 4 and have songs on it that do not show on my iTunes library. Everything is up to date, but I cannot get these songs to show to make my playlists.  Some of these songs were from CDs I had. How do I get these songs to transfer from the iPhone to the iTunes library?

  • Download Movies from Music Store but will not show up in ITunes Library

    I purchased a Movie from the iTunes Music Store. After downloading the movie the movie disappears. It's not in the itunes libaray or anywhere on my hard drive. I looked at my purchases account info for the store and it has a record of my purchase. Is it a itunes bug? ...Apple has no answers. Using iTunes7.

    I purchased a Movie from the iTunes Music Store. After downloading the movie the movie disappears. It's not in the itunes libaray or anywhere on my hard drive.
    in your source list, below "LIBRARY", do you have a "Movies" category showing up?
    if not, try heading into your general preferences and putting a checkmark next to "Movies" in the "Show" area. there's a screenshot of that tab in this document:
    Adding, Browsing, and watching videos in iTunes
    if you can get the Movies category to show up in your sourcelist, do the errant Movies show up in it?

  • My music is not showing up in itunes library

    after i updated my itunes all my music has disappeared. why and how do i get it all back

    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

  • I have music on my phone that will not show in my iTunes library, so I cannot play those songs from my computer.

    I am having a list of problems with my phone. First, my music keeps starting and stopping and I can't get a song to play through.  I went to the apple store and they told me I have some kind of damage so my dock connector thinks it's connected or something. In any case, I have a lot of trouble playing music through my iHome since it is connected by bluetooth and my phone no longer likes to play music. So I've resorted to playing music off my computer through my iTunes library until my phone upgrade is available. Today, I ran into the issue where I noticed I was missing songs from my iTunes library. I checked on my phone and they were on there, so I'm confused why they are not in my library. Shouldn't they be synced?? I'm absolutely perplexed, and I just keep running into problem after problem. Can anyone help as I can't get phone support without giving Apple more money?? Thanks!

    You probably purchased those songs on your iPhone and never transferred them to your computer. You can do so by following these instructions:

  • Movie not showing up in iTunes library

    I recently downloaded a digital copy of a movie, but it won't show up in my iTunes library.  The file shows up in my itunes folder, but not in my library.  Any ideas how to fix this.

    I just had the same thing happen.  I downloaded a digital copy of War Horse and it is in its own folder in the Movie folder inside the iTunes Music Folder.  I can even get it to play in iTunes but it will not show up on my list of movies in the library.  I need a solution.

  • Songs are not showing up in iTunes library

    I have 1600 songs or so on my internal drive.  However, the iTunes library only shows 1600 songs.  They're all in the folders under the same My Music folder/directory on my C drive.  How do I get them to be visible in iTunes?
    If I was to delete the library, how would I:
    Get the songs to show in a new library?
    Preserve the playlists I have?
    Not delete the actual files, including all the apps my kids have purchased for their iTouches?
    Thanks for the help.

    Typo above ... only 1300 of the 1600 songs on my local drive show up in iTunes. 300 are physically on the drive but missing from the library. Sorry for the confusion.

  • Podcasts are downloading, but not showing up in Itunes Library !

    Hi guys.... this is d3riving me up the wall !!!
    I'm running Windows XP. I recently had some work done on my computer and had to restore Itunes. Initially, nothing worked, but now the only issue I have is with podcasts.
    I select the episode I want for download and that works OK. Once the download is completed, the episode is nowhere to be found in Itunes. When I look in the 'podcast' folder in the itunes library in Windows, it is not listed.
    I did a search and found these references...
    E:\...\Downloads\Podcasts\Fischer's Brick_PE'S Chess Cast.tmp\
    E:\...\Podcasts\Fischer's Brick_PE'S Chess Cast.tmp\download.mp4 1,310,720
    E:\...\Downloads\Podcasts\Fischer's Brick_PE'S Chess Cast.tmp\Info.plist 1474
    Note 1) Fischer's Brick is the name of the episode of PE'S podcast
    Note 2) 1,310,720 on line 2 and 1474 are the file sizes.
    Note 3'E' I have set Itunes up on my 'E' drive rather than 'C' which I believe is normal. Don't know if that is relevant as 'Songs' Audiobooks seem to work ok with these settings.
    If I select the second line and tell windows to open it in Itunes nothing happens. Actually, what happens is that ITUNES will start playing a song that I downloaded that day!
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    It's the iTunes library files which, along with the iTunes Music folder and some other files, are found in the iTunes folder that iTunes uses to know the contents of the Library.
    It sounds like you may have only copied the iTunes Music folder to your new computer, not the entire iTunes folder. Can you confirm whether or not that is the case?
    If that's what happened, repeat the process , making sure the whole iTunes folder goes along for the ride.

  • Adding music to ipod nano from itunes library

    PLEASE HELP -- an ipod is connected to itunes on my windows pc and the window lights up o.k.. i want to add the itunes library to the ipod.. when i drag a title to the ipod name, i see the circle/slash symbol telling me its no good.. i have ripped the library to a cd, and still cant make it work.. any suggestions?

    Ya but in your first post it wasn't clear WHERE the iPod icon was that you were dragging. So you could very well have been trying to drag stuff from the iTunes library window to the iPod icon showing on the desk top (Mac) or in "My Computer" (Win) as a disk drive. That comes up from time to time, so had to verify.
    OK, next question, how is the iPod setup to update? Are you set to Auto update or manual update? If one of the auto updates, then you can not drag and drop anything onto the iPod. You "sync" it instead. If you right click on the iPod set for auto updating, you will see a "Sync" choice. Pick that and iTunes will update the iPod however it is set to update (the whole library or select playlists).

  • Recently added music not showing in library

    Music I have recently added to itunes is not appearing in my library (nor in recently added playlist). When I search for it in the top browser, the drop down box says I have 92 items, but when I click it there is nothing in the library. I am using itunes 11.0.112.
    Where has my music gone?

    I just ordered some music
    Do you mean you purchased it in the iTunes store and finished downloading it?

  • Iphone music not showing up in itunes

    Help! My iphone 4S works just fine when i[m using it, but when I plug it into my computer it doesn't show my music in iTunes. iTunes no longer opens automaticallly when I attach the iPhone, although it is visible in the windows Device Manager and in Itunes (instead of showing the few thousand songs i have, it shows 3 that i downloaded from the itunes store, but in gray, so i can't alter them anyway). I've tried on multiple computers, I've tried turnng the iPhone off and on (i REALLY hate to wipe it if not necessary - like I said, the phone and music and everything else on the phone itself are fine, and i don't want to risk not being able to reload any music after restoring it to factory default. I've seen other people with the same or similar problems, but no one seems to have a working solution. Any ideas?

    I have an iPhone 4S and have the same issue.  I noticed yesterday that I had alot of duplicate songs on my iPhone so I did the drastic thing and removed all music from iTunes then synced my iPhone.  This removed all the music from the iPhone, but still shows audion in the capacity bar at the bottom.  Sure enough when i go into music on my iPhone there is still music on the phone.
    I can't see this music from iTunes at all.  I've tried sync'ing and manually managing music both, and neither of them will make the music show back up in iTunes.
    The music just seems to be stuck on my phone.  I really don't want to have to restore my phone, but right now i don't know if i have much choice.
