ITunes does not recognize non-iTunes Store-purchased music - Windows 7.

No matter which iTunes Media folder location I select in 'advanced preferences', only songs purchased from the iTunes store are available in iTunes; not any ripped or otherwise downloaded music. This happened three days after downloading the latest iTunes update, after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and after moving music from a CD into the default folder location in 'advanced preferences'. After all this, I ripped a new CD in iTunes that played and displayed just fine in iTunes and was placed in the exact same folder as the 80 other CDs that are NOT visible, playable, or available in any other context in iTunes. I am spent. What gives?

Right click on the video in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the video tab and see if you can set Video Kind to Movie
When you managed to get it on the phone and you were able to just hear the sound, did you play the file from the video tab on your phone's ipod?

  • Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

    Hello guys,
    I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
    "ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office). 
    The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
    tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
    original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.   
    Thank you very much for any help.

    Hi Tom,
    VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
    character.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
    for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
      Hex   Dec
    ř 159   345
    ů 016F  367
    So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
    ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
    ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
    You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
    Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
    Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)

  • Synced new ipod to itunes, now missing all but itunes store purchased music that is already on my phone

    Synced our new ipod nano today to itunes. I don't know what happened but now all but itunes store purchases are in the library, my playlist is gone as well as all the music I had downloaded from my CD's. The iphone 5 still has everything on it but not on my computer. Frustrating!!   Now I'm scared to sync my phone, thinking I may lose all of my library off there as well. How do I get my library back on to my computer so I can transfer that music to my ipod?

    Look into iTunes Match, a service from Apple that uploads your music in itunes to the cloud (not icloud) so you can download it to other devices.
    Try googling "itunes match"

  • ITunes store purchased music not showing

    today I went into the itunes store and went under music and purchased......blank screen!!  My books, movies, and tv shows are there but not my music.  Anyone else have this happen and did you get it fixed?  Other computer in the house isn't doing it there's is fine. It's working on my iphone and ipod.

    Oops sorry I didn't phrase my question right >.< o
    What I'm trying to explain is with the new iTunes Store 9.0 when you buy a song it fades out the name to show you have purchased the song. And recently I have purchased the full album in different parts at different times but never pressed the Buy Album button to get the full album at once. Now after I brought the full album all the songs say I have not purchased them or now let me buy them once again, when they are usually faded in the iTunes store like I said before.
    So I was wondering why it did that because I wanted the extra feature for the full album. Since I have brought ever song on the album that I completed.
    So earlier this year my hard drive failed and I got a new one which I restored with my Time Capsule. And before my hard drive failed I had purchased a few of the songs on the album (with 8.0), and when I installed 9.0, where you can see what songs you have by them being faded them out,it didn't show credit for any of the songs I had purchased before my hard drive failed.
    If you need me to re-clarify or need more info feel free to ask ^.^ I did have some trouble writing up the question since it is hard to describe

  • My hard drive crashed and had to be replaced now itunes does not recognize my computer is my music lost? it's backed up to the cloud

    my hard drive crasched ans now I cant retrive my music in I tunes is all lost, I do back up to the cloud

    iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
    Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.

  • Buy Album Does Not Recognize One Song Already Purchased

    Many times an artist will release one or two tracks from an upcoming album. I will purchase that song from iTunes. Several weeks later the artist will release the entire album, which I then click on Buy Album. I am charged for the entire album, which includes the song I already purchased. So technically I'm paying for that one song twice.
    Is there anyway to avoid this? I know I can click on Buy for each song, but then if there is a special album only version of a song, I would miss out on that.

    You can see if the "Complete My Album" option appears for the album in question. That option will be under the Quick Links at the upper-right of the iTunes Store main page. If that option is not available for the album you want, then there's no way around the issue other than buying the tracks individually or buying the full album and accepting that you may get redundant tracks. The availability of the "Complete My Album" option is generally in the control of the record companies and some don't want to make that option available (just as back in the day when you bought a 45 with a popular single and then wanted the entire album you didn't get a credit for the single you'd already purchased).
    Regards.

  • My iTunes Store purchases (music) are dissappearing from me over time.

    They are not shown even in my account purchases, not only in the devices. Has anybody experienced the same? How can i solve it?

    me too! all songs i purchased from the iTunes store and ONLY AFTER i upgraded my iTunes/installed the latest version.
    what the **** is going on? i didn't even make more than one copy of these songs to backup on my external drive.
    in addition, after i first installed the update, some message popped up about how many machines iTunes is working on -- it's never been more than my computer.
    HELP!!!!

  • How to use itunes store purchased music in SP?

    Hello,
    I know that iTunes store music is copywrited and you can't use it in any commercial product. But I am making a movie of my vacation that maybe 10 of my friends and family will see.
    I would like to use my iTunes music in this movie and of course the songs I want are the ones that I bought on the music store.
    How would I be able to use those songs in my project? If you can do it in iMovie, you should be able to do it in Soundtrack. If I bought a CD I would be able to!
    Are there any kind of utilities to take that lock of the songs?
    D

    i haven't actually tried any importing music with drm into STP yet, but in the past on my pc, if drm was causing issue with using an mp3 in certain applications (soundforge was a regular), i'd simply burn the track as audio and extract the audio back from the cd...
    a little cheeky but drm should be there to prevent piracy, not hinder the legally paying customer

  • ITunes store purchases won't play on iPod

    iTunes has just told me that my iTunes Store purchased music cannot be synced to my iPod because I do not have authorisation to play them on my iPod. I can play them from iTunes on my MacBookPro, sure my iPod is the same account?

    I see what happened.... when I upgraded to Leopard, iTunes lost its authorisation.
    Now I've reauthorised my computer and it says I've used 2 of my 5 authorisations.... Wow. both on the same machine. Surely the authorisation system can see that it's the same computer and reuse the first authorisation?

  • T-61 Visat Prof. 32bit does not recognize internal 1TB SATA HDD

    Hi,
    I just bought 1TB WD internal SATA 2.5" hard drive and connected to USB of my laptop via SATA external adaptor but my laptop does not recognize this driver.
    I have Windows Vista 32bit OS.
    Any advise how I can fix this? My intent is to transfer all data from internal HDD to the new HDD and then replace old HDD with new one and upgrade to Windows 7.
    THanks,
    Ash

    There are a few problems regarding the way you are trying to do this. First is that your new drive won't be recognized by windows until it's partitioned and formatted. Also, since you're upgrading the OS, you'd be better advised to install the new drive in your laptop and install the operating system, windows will setup the new drive for you then you can connect the old one and transfer any of it's data onto the new drive. If you do it this way it should be effortless, but if you attempt the way you described you could run into problems being that you have an advanced format drive replacing traditional sata drive. Also if you allow windows to initiate and format the drive you know it will be done properly for the type of drive you have. 
    Another suggestion would be to have windows setup the drive with at least two primary partitions. With a drive that large it's nice to have more than one and if you ever find the operating system badly corrupted you could wipe that partition and reinstall without losing any of the data in other partition/s. You can also install multiple operating systems. I can be very handy to have a backup operating system in case something goes wrong so you can be up and running immediately upon rebooting. There is nothing more frustrating than having a non-functioning computer when you badly need to get some work done and this can allow you to continue working and worry about fixing whatever went wrong at a time of your choosing.

  • ITunes store does not recognize iTunes on my computer

    I installed iTunes on my conmputer - even reinstalled it by following online Apple instructions to the letter regarding uninstalling ALL Apple software, etc. - whenever I visit the iTunes store and make a selection to purchase, the page I get taken to always reads something like "in order to download your selection, you must have iTunes installed on your computer." I always get this without fail... I got it before I reinstalled and after. The site does not recognize my iTunes software that I have installed. I have consulted with various Apple support people and I get the runaround all the time and never a direct answer... most of the time, they don't even respond.

    Ok thanks for the help, i managed to do all that, included another port (443) which was mentioned in another article, to no avail. Same problem.
    I did all sorts of tests and i am firmly convinced it's got something to do with the router, but your solution didn't work.
    The router is the same i used before.
    I also use a range extender, same as i used before (linksys RE1000).
    The problem had occurred before, but it went away on its own. Now it has been happening for a week with no relief.
    It started when i bought  a new computer. I de-linked the ATV library and re-linked to the new machine. I sold the old machine, so i still have only one.
    Well, the syncing is super slow over my wireless network. So i thought i'd put the ATV linked by ethernet cable diretly to the router. Instead of making it sync faster, it simply froze (amber light steadily on).
    I thought i'd lost the hardware.
    I then unplugged the ethernet cable and went back to the old set up. Got iTunes on the computer to see the ATV andgot it to sync, which took forever (like 3 days straight).
    After this painful sync, i could not connect to apple store from the ATV, and hence can't play anything because it is there but 'not authorized'.
    I then factory-reset the ATV, and had to do the syncing all over again: no result.
    Tried all the other solutions (deauthorize, reauthorise, reboot, reset, change pwd, etc, nothing works).
    Tried you rport forwarding, didnt work. Maybe the range extender makes it not work?
    I also use dynamic IPs, so could that be a problem?
    I am at my wits' end and i know only one thing: APPLE *****. I will NEVER AGAIN buy anything from this company. Anyone knows if there is any other hardware that would work like an apple TV? I have a lot of unwatched, expensive shows...

  • HT201394 Since I updated to iOS8 my iPhone locked out in iTunes lock mode.  Then I had my iPhone fixed at the Apple Store.  Now i Tunes either does not recognize my iPhone5 or no longer offers the ability to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone.   DEVICES does not wo

    Since upgrading to iOS8 iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone5 when I connect to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5.  Thus, these features are no longer available.  When I click on the DEVICES tab, the window is dim, and will therefore not allow me to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5 on my iMac.  I use iTune 11.4 and iOS8.

    After the first install of iOS8 my iPhone5 locked up with a picture of a cord connected to a device linking to iTunes.  After taking my iPhone5 to the Apple Store, an Expert was able to get my phone operational again.  However, when I returned home I found I no longer had options in iTunes to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5.  I suspect that ITunes does not recognize my IPhone any longer.  For the past 1.5 years I have no problems updating or syncing my iPhone…it was only after I upgraded to iOS8 last week.

  • I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

    I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ  at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except  the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ  recognize it. I tried renameing  the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around  in there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.
