What is your iTunes version?
If iTunes 11, have you checked the "Up Next" list? If it is not empty, try if clearing "UP Next" will help:

Odd... songs missing from iTunes, but still on my iPod

I came across an odd situation, where certain songs (burned and purchased) are listed in the iTunes library, but do not connect to a file on my PowerBook. I don't recall any situation where I would have accidentaly removed the files. For example, I might have songs from seven albums for an artist listed in the library, but only two of the album folders still exist in the iTunes Music Folder.
Although missing from the PowerBook, the song files are on my iPod. I feared that on the next sync, those files would be removed, as the PowerBook autosyncs and supposedly conforms the iPod to the iTunes library. But... no, the files have remained on the iPod through several syncs.
I can find a way to restore the purchased music (although the new purchased music sync on iTunes 7 didn't do it). I can't use my automated backups, because this situation seems to have been around for some weeks, without my awareness.
The problem started on iTunes 6, so it's not a quirk of iTunes 7 (which works fine for me so far).

I seem yo have a similar problem, this is where I have purchased the songs via iTunes, and they are on my iPod but do not appear in my iTunes library, nor are they in the artists folders.
I have recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes v7.0.1, and I have only experienced this problem since I upgraded.

Why are only 2 songs missing from my Purchased playlist?

here's another weird missing purchased song issue: in itunes on left side under store, there is the pre-set purchased playlist with the right click menu with the entry to check for available downloads - it is showing 90 songs. Same as on my iPhone's purchased playlist. Here is the problem - I created a new smart playlist per the previous discussions here and it is showing 92 songs - I went onto my account to check the itunes store and the 92 songs are there and the 92 songs are also downloaded to my itunes library on my PC. Not one of them is hidden - I have others hidden but not these 2. they are not in the cloud, they have been downloaded to both PC and phone and they will appear in other playlists and play fine. For some reason, the pre-set Purchased playlist under the store menu is not picking up that these 2 songs were purchased but my smart playlist is! Both are on the same account ID, one from 2013 and one from just last month! This is clearly an issue with certain flag not being set in a database somewhere, but why just these two? It is not affecting my ability to sync or play these songs since I have them in my new smart playlist - just an odd thing that makes me wonder why and if it can be corrected. ooops - this is PC iTunes not Mac - can't change it - sorry!

Hi Pugs lover,
If you are missing songs from an album but the iTunes Store is showing those tracks as Purchased, you may want to see if it will allow you to redownload them. You may find the following article helpful:

Songs "missing" from playlist still in library

I've seen similar threads but my issue is slightly different. I do apologize if this is a duplicate post.
In many of my playlists, a song will now be marked as missing by an exclamation point. However, the song is still in the library and I can manually locate it. This is happening to too many songs (70 at last count) so it is a PIA to fix. Any ideas how to automate this? Suggestions on how to stop this from happening (this isn't the first time)?
I haven't moved any songs or made changes to song names or libraries. The songs are in the same place and when I click locate for the first missing song in the list, iTunes goes directly to the right folder. For each subsequent song, I've got to point iTunes.
Thanks!

Not a Sony Vaio. I have one of the first iPods. It was a gift. It's not that songs disappear from the playlist in the iPod, but from playlists on the computer. They are in the music library and I have to copy and paste them back into the playlist I want them in. I haven't lost any from the music library, fortunately.
The playlists (I have a bunch of them) are blue with a music note. The songs in the playlists have checkmarks next to them, and are all checked. They just drop out of a playlist every now and again and I have to copy it back in. I can go for a while and think "hey, I haven't heard X in a long time". And sure enough it's dropped from the playlist in the computer, and I have to copy it back in from the library, then resynch the iPod. Really weird and mildly annoying.

Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago. Rest of playlist was ACC too. P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
thanks, Melody

Why are Albums missing from the Albums "tab" in Photos app?

I just upgraded to the new version of OS X with the new Photos app. All of my photos transferred over to the new app correctly, but not all of my Albums are showing up in the new Albums "tab" in the Photos app.
For instance, my "Honeymoon" album does not show up on the Albums "tab," but when I search for in the Photos app it will appear.
How do I get all of my Albums to show up on this tab?
Additionally, does anyone know how to change the "timestamp" on photos?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Terence,
I appreciate the reply, but that did not solve my issue. Several of my albums are still "missing" from the list, even though I can find them when I search:

Songs missing from IPOD menus

Hi this is a bit complicated to explain so may take awhile but here goes:
Me and my Boyfrind both share the same computer and Itunes Libary. However one album is causing him problems. The Jimi Hendrix Voodoo child album is synced in Itunes and is on my Ipod and can be accsessed through all of the menu options Albums, artists, songs etc. However on my boyfriends the album or any of the songs cannot be found in any of these menus. The weird thing is that the album Is on his Ipod as songs from the album and diplaying the artwork and album name pop up randomly when in shuffle mode but we cannot not find it in any of the menus so that he can acsess it manually??? We would be gratful for any help anyone could give us in solving this problem.
30gb vidio Ipod Windows XP

This is a little confusing. You say your b/f iPod cannot access that album via any of these menus, "Albums, artists, songs etc."
Then you go on to say "The weird thing is that the album Is on his Ipod as songs".
So where are you accessing these songs if not from the artist/album/songs menu?
The best place to start is with this.
It could be that you have inadvertently imported this CD into iTunes as part of a compilation (I believe that JH album is a compilation right?). If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not, although in this case I think it is a copmilation and the CDDB is correct.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
Also, I would check to see if your b/f ipod has the "compilations" menu turned on. Settings/main menu/compilations/on. This way you can keep that album marked as a comp if you so wish.
If I've misunderstood and it's none of these things, post back.

Only 8 of 10 songs downloaded from paid album

I paid for an entire album and only 8 of the 10 songs downloaded; the other two songs kept getting error messages. When I retunred to the store today with better access to download the last two, they are no longer there, and do not show up in the downloads. How can I retrieve the last wo songs? How do you get customer service help with the iTunes store?
Sharon

Yes, I already checked the store
I didn't write that you should check the store.
only 8 of the 10 songs from the album show there.
Where exacly did you click to view them?
Any ideas how I can retreve the last two without paying for them again?
Open iTunes.
Look at the menus at top. Select the Store menu and select Check for purchases.
Don't go to the iTunes store on the left side of iTunes.

Why did my ipod receive a song separate from the album that was downloaded

why did my ipod receive a song separate fron the album that it was downloaded with?
i copied a cd using itunes

Dont have that problem but i have two tips:
1 Other ipod/iphone apps: they are often the problem, i had an alarm clock and that blocked the whole ipod app, so check if other apps dont use songs to wake up or anything else..
2 try to leave the ipod app trough the multitasking instead of pressing the home button?

Photos missing from library - Albums still there

I just recently started using iPhoto. I started doing photography 2 years ago, and I wanted to tag all of the people from my personal library. I added over 8,000 photos and tediously went through every one and tagged all of my friends/family. I probably tagged over 20,000 faces over the course of a few weeks.
I opened iPhoto a few days ago to finish up the tagging and every photo from every album (except my iPhone) was gone. I've been looking for a fix for a few days now with no luck. I'm sure it's obvious how aggravating this is and how much I would like to avoid having to repeat this process, especially if it will result in vanishing photos again.
One thing that might be helpful is that I do not duplicate photos added to iPhoto, I keep them in their original folders.
Abundant thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why are my songs missing from my playlists using match? How can I fix it?

On my mac mini, iTunes shows my playlists as expected. It also shows the iCloud icon (also expected). However, when I use my iPhone to try to sync/download a few of the playlists, there are no songs in them. I even tried adding songs AFTER I finished the iTunes Match and only one of the eight songs showed up in the playlist on the iPhone, even though all eight had successfully been loaded to iCloud through iTunes Match. Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks!

I think I am having the same issue. I had a number of songs on my phone. I signed up for Match, and switched over my iphone library to Match in settings. Everything was fine, all of my playlists synched to itunes.
I then decided to free up space by deleting all of the previously stored songs from my phone. After I did this, all of the songs that were once on the phone vanished (rather than appearing with a cloud symbol). All of the songs that were in the cloud prior to the delete are still there, but none of the songs deleted from the IOS device are there.
Everything looks fine in itunes.

Why are songs missing from albums I downloaded

When I try to listen to some albums songs are missing! Do I have to download the entire cd again?

This is a long-standing topic on the forum. I've been seeing it for years and years. I have seen it happen maybe twice with my iTunes and I am still using iTunes 7.5. However, there is nothing definitively pointing to to it being a specific issue with iTunes. In the past I have created and deleted hundreds of tracks in a day and who knows if my computer's operating system or iTunes slipped up somewhere, or even if I did in selecting files for deletion. The other question is, is the media file itself also missing or is it just the entry in iTunes that is gone, or is the link broken? With something this vague it's like going to a car mechanic and asking them to troubleshoot a "strange noise" that happens maybe a few seconds for every 20 hours on the road and not being sure where it originates, nor if it has something to do with the road conditions, or the fuel in the car, or the engine, or the tires, etc.
Keep backups. The two or three times it has happened to me in the last 8 years the original file had gone missing but the entry was still in iTunes (broken link). I periodically run one of Dougscripts Applescripts to check my library for broken links and I was able to rescue the file from my backup before I overwrote the backup. I try to do this each time I backup my library just to make sure I don't overwrite a good copy with a bad copy. Of course this won't work if the entry has also been deleted in the library file but I manually manage my library and this has the mixed benefit of iTunes not automatically deleting the media file when I (or it?) delete the entry in the library database.

Random songs missing from ipod touch

Hi
I have an iPod touch 4 and for no particular reason, a load of random songs have disappeared.
Every album is missing songs, some just one or two but some just have 1 song remaining!
I haven't synced my iPod for weeks because my computer is broken and is currently away getting fixed.
Could it be because I haven't synced it? I can't understand why that would be though.
I did buy an album recently via my iPod itunes so could this have anything to do with it? I'm honestly not sure if the songs went missing before or after I bought this.
I just really don't understand how it could have happened and it's really fustrating as I've now lost my itunes as my hard drive failed. Does this mean that all of the music I had is gone forever?!
Thanks

As I said, my harddrive failed and I have lost everything off the computer.
And most of the stuff wasn't bought from itunes, it's imported from CDs, a lot of which I don't have anymore for various reasons.

Why are some songs missing from my purchase

I preordered Stars Dance by Slenea Gomez and it was downloaded to my iTunes this morning when I turned on my computer. Online at the iTunes store the album is normal. It has 13 tracks on it. But in my iTunes track number 2 (Slow Down) is duplicated. Track number 5 (Come & Get It) is missing. So my album has the following tracks.
1. Birthday
2. Slow Down
2. Slow Down <---- duplicate Track
3. Stars Dance
4. Like a Champion
5. <--- Missing Track
6. Forget Forever
7. Save the Day
8. B.E.A.T.
9. Write Your Name
10. Undercover
11. Love Will Remember
12. Nobody Does It Like You
13. Music Feels Better
How do I get it to download correctly?
I would like to have all the songs I paid for.

They should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for (re-)downloading.
If they don't then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
