Some Songs are not on iTunes but play on my iPod! HELP!

I have lost random songs of iTunes and it says it can nt locate the song file. But i can play all my songs on my iPod! Please help as i need to listen to my songs though my computer! Thanks!

I've had that problem, too ><; Check your iTunes...Did it make duplicates of certain songs as well? That's what happened to me: I lost random songs because they were replaced with other songs, so I got duplicates O_o;

  • Some songs are not longer available and an ! exclamation mark appears before the song. What should I do?

    Some songs are not longer available and an ! exclamation mark appears before the song in iTunes. What should I do?

    When you open iTunes it opens a database file that contains the locations of the media files you use to play the music.  If something has happened to invalidate where iTunes thinks that file is stored you get a !   There are many possible reasons.  Sometimes a computer can start to lose files.  In other situations it is something you did such as renaming a folder or drive iTunes uses, or moving the files manually.  If you can give us hints we can start working our way down the long list.

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • HT1351 We had 2 computers: his itunes library on one, and mine on the other. We got rid of both of those and got a new computer.  I put music on the new computer.  My ipod songs are not on itunes.  Will I erase them if I sync?  How do I add new music?

  • I have puschased songs on itunes, some songs are not completed songs, is this itunes error or the artist produced uncompleted songs?

    album: Univeral Religion Chapter 5
    song # 5: Falling Away (Armin Van Buuren remix), artist: Hannah
    album: A state fo Trance Yearmix 2011 (mix by Armin Van Buuren)
    song# 20: Be your sound, artist Cosmic Gate & Emma Hewitt
    song#10: Keep Waiting(Orjan Nilsen Midsumernite remix), artist: Tiddey
    I have noticed these songs are not completed songs.  Can you guys check if your songs that post on itunes store are good ripped.  After i redownloaded and listened to these songs are still not completed songs. 
    Thank You

    Were the songs in question downloaded directly on the device or synced from iTunes on the computer?
    Content does not magically appear on the device.

  • My songs are duplicated i itunes but if i remove one entry, the other won't play anymore...what do i do?

    After my friend transferred my songs to my new laptop, i have installed itunes. First i had 2 or 3 entries of the same song, because i had a music files (mostly
    mp3), and the 2 entries were from Itunes music files. One entry played, the other wouldn't (exclamation point). As i have  a couple thousand songs, i decided to consolidate into Itunes Media, thinking i could then uninstall Itunes, Reinstall it and delete my Itunes music folder.
    But it probably was the wrong way to go. Now I have an Itunes media folder and an Itunes music folder. If i delete one of them from my computer, itunes says it cannot find the track. But the problem is now it takes twice as much space on my computer and last but not least, almost every song is duplicated in Itunes.
    If I delete one of the two entries, the song won't play (exclamation point again). it's like each file of the song exist in his own file, but cannot play if the other version of the song isn't there.
    So i'm stuck with a duplicated list of songs in Itunes and 30 Go of songs on my laptop...<
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    I would guess that if they both point to the same file and you delete one of them, you have deleted the file. Therefore it is no longer there to be played.
    I'm not really sure how you got into this situation.  I'm also not sure if you have multiple copies of the same songs on your drive or just multiple entries in the library. It sounds like you  haven't gotten very far, that you have not yet set up playlists that you would be heartbroken to lose. If you have room on your drive, I might suggest closing iTunes, renaming both of those media folders, then restarting iTunes and creating a brand new library.  I would set iTunes to copy media files to the library when it imports them so that it all gets consolidated. I would add the music folder (which is probably a sub-folder of those other folders) from one of your two existing folders and see what happens. Then I'd add the other.
    As a normal precaution, I highly recommend backing up your two music folders before starting this. 
    When all is done and you are happy, you should be able to delete the older folders.  This is the step that begs for a backup. First, though, I'd change the names of the two older folders again and see if iTunes plays your music. If not, it didn't make a copy and it's still looking in the old folders.  You might want keep them around for a while and only delete them when you need drive space.  I am loathe to delete anything unnecessarily, just in case there is a problem.
    I'm not a Windows user so I can't help with the details on how to do this on a PC.

  • Ever since the last download, I am unable to edit my playlists on itunes. When my phone is not plugged in, my playlists that are on my phone are not on itunes but my songs are. Only the default playlists show up. How can I get all of my playlists back?

    I usually create and edit playlists on itunes and then sync my phone to update my phone.  Ever since the last upgrade, I can't do this.  When I open itunes, my playlists are not there, only the songs and the default playlists.  If I plug my phone in and click on My Phone at the top of the screen, I can see my playlists but I can't edit them.  How can I get my playlists that are on my phone back on my itunes?

  • Some songs correctly loaded into iTunes but won't transfer to iPod

    Can't figure this one out. I have 40-odd songs in my 2000 iTunes songs that won't transfer to iPod. Error message says the format is not recognized by my iPod, even though the songs appear and play normally in iTunes. Songs are about 7 years old. The file extension on them says ".mp3". However, I notice when I select a problem song and click "info", the information tells me the songs is a MPEG audio file; 6.8 mb size; sample rate 44.1 khz; format MPEG-1, Layer 2; ID3 Tag V1.0; Encoded with "Unknown". How do I properly load or convert these so they will play on my iPod? Do I need to convert them to AAC format, and if I do, what am I giving up? I have about 500 of these old songs in my library, which I haven't yet loaded into my iTunes. Thanks in advance for any help or expertise!

  • Some songs are not able to be downloaded.

    Some songs won't download. Error -100000 appears. iTunes support just gave me some credits for each song to download an other song, but I want THESE songs! Has anyone got an idea what the problem could be?
    My personal belief would be that the data on the server is corrupt, but iTunes support didn't react to my request to check if this is true.

    Hi, you can check the following:
    -->Check for firewall and antivirus
    -->NIC compatbility
    -->Run postinstall
    -->Span to PC port, pc PORT enabled , PC voice VLAN access and G.722 codec disabled
    -->Sniffer on agent PC to see if it is getting any RTP

  • Songs are showing in itunes, but empty in ipod

    two scenarios:
    1st, I updated my ipod with the latest version available in apple's site, in the middle of update, my ipod suddenly went black and white and started showing a folder with an exclamation point in it. followed everything on the support site, still nothing..so i sent it to the apple center, 1 week later, it was returned to me, and looking at the "physical" ipod, everything's ok, color and all.
    THEN...2nd...I re-installed ipod's software and itunes, imported songs from cds and all, copied it to my ipod, everything is showing up in itunes, as added to my ipod, BUT when i close itunes, and viewed the selection in my ipod, the folders were copied, but there is nothing in it.
    I tried to load the songs again in ipod bu this error keeps on appearing: "Attempting to copy disk beng failed. Unknown error occurred (-36)". Beng being my ipod's name.
    I have no idea what else to do here, i've installed and unistalled the ipod software repeatedly, but it still doesn't work...can someone please help me? thanks.

    Why would you lose all your songs if you restored it?
    You have no back up of store bought songs?

  • How do I transfer all of my songs from Iphone to itunes as lost everything, some songs are not bought from itunes and have been from borrowed CD's but I really want them in itunes library?

    Hello, Please help as I tunes havent got back to me yet!!
    A couple of months ago, I lost all of my music/itunes etc as my computer needed a complete restore. When it re-installed itunes there was no songs on it at all and would only let me transfer the purchases made on my iphone from itunes back onto my library. The problem I have is that I want to upgrade my phone to the iphone4 but dont want to lose all of the songs on my iphone, some are downloaded from the itunes, most are from CD's that I still own but there are some great songs that I have put on from borrowed CD's or another download company i.e. hmv music downloads and those are the songs it will not let me transfer into the library on my computer so when I get the new phone, I could just sync and they will all be there.
    Please help as I do not want to lose any of my songs
    Thank you

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • I purchased a full album on iTunes and some songs are not playing in full why is this?

    why is that?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copy from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.
