Songs Not Appearing in Library Correctly

After loading a CD into my library, only two or three appear with song titles/artist names -- the other songs are dumped in a file with simply "track 1", "track 2", etc. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it?
Thanks

You will need to Reimport everything back into iTunes after an upgrade. go into your iTunes task bar, click on File and click on Add Folder to Library and go from there.
Good Luck,

[iTunes11] New songs not appear in library

Hi everyone,
With the new itunes 11 I can't see new songs or new movies in my local library (adding from iTunes Store or finder)
I have a macbook unibody with snow leopard.
I found a workaround : disable iTunes Match => new songs (or other itunes files) appear instantly.
I'm very surprised that this bug was'nt fixed before the release of the iTunes 11, am I the only one with this bug ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Have a nice day

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the external list not display the new item button.
When we have created a new external list, by default, the new item button would not appear in the form.
However, we can first create a new item using the new item button in the Ribbon.
Then, after we have created a new item in the external list,
the new item button would display in the form as below.
You can create a new item using the ribbon, then check whether it works.
Thanks & Regards,

7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library. Ipad and old nano sync fine. How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library. Ipad and old nano sync fine. How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

**1. Separate these out first without deleting anything from i tunes libary?**
iTunes:
Set up 2 iTunes playlist, one for songs & the other for talking books.
**2. Then simply transfer my 500 odd tracks of music to my new nano?**
Connect new iPod to computer & set it to manually sync.
Move your music playlist to Devices. Music will sync to your new iPod.
*3. Once all this done, delete songs (only) from the old nano just leaving my talking books?
Connect old nano to computer.
Under Devices-Music: Start deleting all the songs including any song headings you have in the left column under Music. This will delete from the iPod yet leave your iTunes library intact.
Read the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide for other suggestions.

Final Cut 10.1.1 does not see my desktop in the import window. Problem is intermittent. Frequent crashes. And clips that are being used in a project do not appear in library browser. Any help?

Imported songs do not appear in library (iTunes 10.0.1)

When I import songs from a CD, the songs are not appearing under Music in iTunes.
The track info is properly displayed for the mounted CD itself and the songs are correctly imported (green checkboxes appear, the MP3 files are placed in the correct folder under "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music", and the MP3 files are playable in Quicktime).
I've tried re-importing the songs in iTunes using the File > Add to Library function, but no luck. This has happened with multiple CDs.
Songs that I have bought through Amazon were successfully imported.
Is this an iTunes 10.0.1 bug? I haven't successfully imported a CD since I upgraded.
Is my library corrupt? Is there a way to rebuild it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Details:
iTunes 10.0.1
Import settings: MP3 encoder, high quality (160kbps), use error correction

It turns out that this is an identified issue. See the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2565869&start=0&tstart=0
(I searched for a thread on this topic before posting, honest!)
For what it's worth, the problem with the two CDs I tried importing before I posted this has magically healed itself and I can now see them in the library. No idea why. I haven't yet tried to import more.

Purchased songs not appearing in itunes library

Many of my past purchased songs were not appearing in my itunes library. After trying many different methods (over 2 hours of investigation) I finally discovered that I need to check the box in the PREFERENCES that says "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".
iTunes 11.0
EDIT --> PREFERENCES --> STORE --> "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".
Then... all my songs appeared!
It's not clear to me when a purchase is "in the cloud" and when it's not ? I'm not sure how that works... but this solved my problem. Maybe it will solve it for you too!

Perhaps the files have been added to your library, but iTunes wasn't displaying them in the Music list for some strange reason. Apparently the most effective voodoo is to obtain the current "Free Single of the Week". It may be that any new purchase causes ITunes to reindex itself properly but this one seems to work, and is free.
Alternatively you could try closing iTunes, deleting the hidden file sentinel from within the main iTunes folder, and restarting. This should cause iTunes to run an integrity check on the database which will likely resolve any issues.
Turning on that option would let an empty library show links to your previous purchases for streaming or download purposes. It may also have triggered a reindexing of the library to compare local content with iTunes in the Cloud.

Songs not appearing in Music list when imported

When importing a CD (or even purchasing via the iTunes store) the new tracks do not appear in my Music list, even though the songs are sorted by date added - the only way I can view new tracks as they import from a CD is by signing out of the iTunes store!!!
Surely this cannot be right?
For info, I have not paid a subscription to "Song Match" (or whatever that completely useless feature is called!) - I've read that that feature has caused a similar problem for some people.
Oh, and does anyone have any inside information as to whether Apple have taken notice about the plethora of complaints about the dreadful iTunes 11? I for one have already submitted 3 complaints to them... so far!
Many thanks!

If you both want to use the same library (all songs, movies, playlists, ratings, etc.), do this…
1 - Quit iTunes.
2 - Move your entire /Users/'me'/Music/iTunes/ folder to /Users/Shared/.
3 - Move all the folders/files in /Shared/iTunes media/ to /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder.
4 - Hold Option and launch iTunes.
5 - Select *Choose library...*
6 - Select the /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder then click Choose.
Everything should work fine.
Quit iTunes then log into your wife's account.
1 - Hold Option and launch iTunes.
2- Select *Choose library…*
3- Select the /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder then click Choose.
That's it! If you are using Fast User switching, only one person at at time can use iTunes.
Any changes made by either person will be seen by the other.

How do you get songs not in your library?

I have some songs that are not in my library so I can't download them into my iPod. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Locate the tracks (songs) and drag them into the iTunes "Library" section. Then Create a play list from the "file" menu (so you can quickly find your song/s) and drag the songs from the library, over to the playlist in which you want them and let them drop in.
Plug in your iPod (make sure that you do not disconnect the iPod if it says "Do Not disconnect").
Go to "preferences of iTunes under the "File" menu. Click on the "iPod" icon.
Once there, click on the "music" tab and make sure the box for "automatically update all songs and playlists" (something like that), is checked.
Update your iPod and your newly added songs should be copied over to your iPod.

Songs not appearing under artists

Hi,
I'm going to try and explain this the best way I can,
On my Ipod (30GB), some songs do not appear under the artist.
Example:
I have two songs by Christina Aguilera, A is from the album "Stripped" and the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank). So on my ipod when I go into:
[ Music -> Artist -> Christina Aguilera -> All ]
only song A is shown.
But if I go into [Music -> Songs ] I can find A and B...
So you see my problem,
If you have any idea, please answer,
Regards,
Waq

"the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank)."
There is the problem.
See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

All transfered songs not appearing

I have moved songs from my itunes on my pc to my iphone 4s. When I go to the iphone while it is plugged into the pc it shows the songs are there but when I go to my iphone they are not all there. All the songs are from albums that I loaded into itunes. Never had this problem before so I downloaded the latest update yesterday and it didn't help. What worked for me yesterday was making a playlist in itunes then moving the set list to to the phone.
Any ideas?

You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be releated to. Do you have a question about iTunes Match?

Ivory and Konyakt do not appear in library

Santa Cruz 2.2
WD Rator containing Ivory
PC 34 Expresss hoding Kontakt library
All app's and system are current
Can't find Ivor or Kontakt
TIA
gary

Tried another experiment... went back to iPhoto--> iPhone--> selected an earlier photo (one that did not appear in the aforementioned event) --> Import, selected 'Yes, import anyways even though there is a duplicate'... and then went again to Last Import --> now only one photo to choose from, 'Show Event' and it takes me to an event with this photo, but no others even though, imported previously, were 10 other photos from this particular evening.
Last Import is just that - the last import. So your last import was one photo, so that's what last import shows.
And the photo is alone in an event because you only imported one. Every import creates at least one new Event - part of the way that iPhoto avoids duplicates overwriting each other. So that experiment shows that iPhoto is working normally.
As to the core issue:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Mp3 version not appearing in library

Hello
I am using iTunes 11 and I am trying to use the "create mp3 version" option. The process runs and the file is created and saved on my Mac, but it does not appear in the library as it used to in previous versions of iTunes. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution to this issue?

Do you see it in your Recently Added playlist and do you subscribe to iTunes Match?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4543259 - delay of several hours (for some people overnight) for new additions to iTunes to appear in the main library window as a result of using iTunes Match. Things to try:
1) Turn off Match, see if the items appear, then turn Match on again.
2) Drag the items from the Recently Added playlist to the library.
3) Wait until they do appear.

Purchased music does not appear in library

I just purchased an album but it does not appear in my library. Thinking I screwed something up went back into store to purchase. When I clicked purchase a pop up said you have already purchased this do you want to purchase again, a pop up said you purchased this already do you want to purchase again? I clicked No. Where is my music?

All purchased items will be put in the "iTUnes Music" folder on the PC where you bought them and then added tot he green "Purchased" playlist.
When you add these files to a new PC/iTUnes library tho, there not automaticly added to the purchased playlist. So first search the itunes main music library for purchased items. If not listed search the PC by going to Start>Search in windows select "Files and folders" (Not music) and in the search field put ".M4P" and search the PC

Is their a way of transfering certain songs, not the whole library?

i've created a new playlist on my itunes comp because other people in the house already have their own playlists for their own ipods. how do i tranfer just the songs i want and not the whole library? cheers

At the very bottom of the link posted above, there is a short sentence that indicates you can transfer 'Selected Playlists'.
With the iPod attached and seen within iTunes, go to Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab and select the updating method to be playlists.
This will allow you to choose which playlist(s) you want to auto-sync with your iPod.
This is one of the easiest ways to have two or more iPods syncing with iTunes and containing different music.

Dowlnloaded music to itunes does not appear in library

I have downloaded several cds to itunes and they show they are downloading but after that they do not appear in the itunes libraries. If I do a search it shows they exist on the computer hard disk but they cannot be accessed nor apparently moved to an itunes library where they then can upload to an ipod. Even erasing them does not then allow them to be reloaded to itunes libraries.
Thanks for your advise

I had a similar issue. I realised that the music wasn't on the computer but on the cloud... do you have an iTunes Match account, if so try downloading 1 track to the computer by clicking on the cloud icon in iTunes, then go back into iMovie and see if that track is available. Hopefully it will be like mine.
