Albums missing from ITunes after laptop switch. Help?

I recently switched laptops and at first, when I logged into ITunes, all my albums were there. But, suddenly, they're gone. Help?

I have almost the same problem.  As a workaround, I can check "sync all music" rather than "sync checked music" in iTunes.  (By the way, it worked for a couple weeks and now it doesn't).  I'm fortunate that all my music fits on my touch (though just barely).  The only album that still exists on my ipod (officially anyways) is one that I bought from iTunes after upgrading.
Also, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I haven't figured out how to make that work (they disappeared too).
Anybody know how to get back to a position where I can decide what I want for music and don't have to put everything on my touch?

  • Now my music is missing from iTunes...please help

    OK, for today's fun and games: I synced this morning like I always do, but all the music in my iTunes library on PC is missing. After syncing, it still appears on my phone though. I went into the music tab in iTunes with my phone plugged in and for some reason, the "sync music" option is unchecked (no idea why it is unchecked). I am afraid to check it because it says it will replace all the music on my phone with what's in my iT library which currently appears to be nothing! Where did the music on my PC go and how can I get it back!?
    Thanks

    Well all my music is on my hard drive in its various original locations.
    Thanks a lot Apple! I really appreciate having to REIMPORT, Re-link, and get album artwork FROM SCRATCH all over again. Kind of p!ssed off right now.

  • Albums missing from Itunes

    Hi

    \Documents and Settings\Mandeep Chana\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    How can I import the whole music folder without having duplicates?

  • Album missing from itunes

    I downloaded about 5 months ago the entire album of the movie "Project X"....for some reason it does not appear in my itunes anywhere.  When I go to the store, it appears as purchased.  I am not able to download it at all or place it back into my itunes...any help...

    I think if you go to this link you can fill out a form which sends a message to iTunes support:
    https://expresslane.apple.com/Symptoms.do
    I found that by going to the Express Lane (https://expresslane.apple.com/), clicking "iTunes" under product categories, clicking "iTunes Store", and selecting "Purchases, Billing, and Redemption".

  • Side bar missing from iTunes after the update o oct '14

    Please let me kow if there is side bar option in Itunes after the update.

    It's not missing. It's no longer used as you remember it. But there is no loss of functionality if you take some time to work with iTunes.

  • TS1474 Lost several albums *completely* from iTunes library AND iPod-HELP

    Sooo I had been using my laptop for iTunes purchases, management, etc., and then the thing crashed and has never been revived. I decided to begin using the desktop computer to access iTunes instead, and in the process of syncing a new purchase to my iPod, somehow inadvertently lost several older albums that I had purchased earlier. Now when viewing my library on either iPod or iTunes library on desktop computer, they do not appear to be present. Are they truly gone? All that money spent..poof? Please advise!

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    It appears that the mess resulted in the iPod seeing the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/iTunes library. If you sync to a new computer your iPod gets erased and the media in the iTunes library ends up on the iPod.

  • HT1937 I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone

    You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
    If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
    Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
    This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
    Genious Sidebar
    I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
    Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC

So I know the devices are fine. They are all on the same physical wired and wireless network. Even when I put the Zeppelin on the wired LAN there is no Airplay icon in iTunes on the PC.

AND THER SHE WAS fiew windows updates uninstalled and icon is back in itunes

  • Effects missing from clips after PP update

    I have asked this question before, but nobody responded with any useful suggestions.  Let me try again.
    I spent an incredible amount of time keyframing Beauty Box effects on a timeline in Premiere Pro 8.0 during fall 2014.  When I upgraded to 8.1, all the effects are simply gone from the timeline.  To be clear, there are no "missing effects" messages; they are just gone.
    Beauty Box is still installed and is an effect I can add to my clips with ease, but somehow, the update stripped all the effects off the timeline when it the project is updated to the new version.
    Luckily, there is one machine at work that is still on 8.0 and recognizes my old project correctly.  But - PP crashes literally every single time I try to adjust the Beauty Box effects that I spent many, many hours tweaking already.
    Exporting an AAF also doesn't work: PP crashes every single time I try.
    Short of adding the effect all over again to every clip and starting from scratch, is this a known issue to Adobe and is there a solution?  I hesitate to upgrade Beauty Box, as updating any software in the middle of a project is a bad idea (see above).
    And here are bonus issues: I use a Saffire Pro 14 for audio on my system.  Everything was fine until the other day, when it stopped playing AIFs. If I try to import one and place it in the source monitor, everything locks up and PP crashes.  There have been no hardware or software updates in these areas for literally months (aside form "upgrading" to the latest PP version about a month or so ago).  The files play normally outside of PP.  The solution to this, I found after a good bit of experimenting, is to switch to the Adobe audio driver.  But why?
    Also, I have a two monitor system.  The right monitor is my program view.  I usually set it nearly full screen (but not quite).  Suddenly, it started taking up the entire screen with no borders (and no accessible controls) yesterday.  I can't find a command to restore it to normal.  (~ doesn't do it).
    Another frustrating issue: warning boxes that normally appear on top of everything onscreen have begun appearing behind other PP windows, giving me the annoying system error noise whenever I try to touch anything.  the only way I have found to reveal them is to switch to another program then toggle back to PP.
    All of this has made it virtually impossible for me to get any work done on this project. Gotta say I'm not loving PP right now.er literally a month,

    UPDATE - after literally a month, all my missing effects re-appeared on my timeline tonight.  Why?  Who knows?  But I'm glad they're back.

    I have almost the same problem.  As a workaround, I can check "sync all music" rather than "sync checked music" in iTunes.  (By the way, it worked for a couple weeks and now it doesn't).  I'm fortunate that all my music fits on my touch (though just barely).  The only album that still exists on my ipod (officially anyways) is one that I bought from iTunes after upgrading.

  • Apps missing from iTunes. How to recover?

    Suddenly, about 2/3 of my apps are missing from iTunes. Basically anything I bought in the last 16 months or so - the apps I currently actually use! I searched the iTunes folder on my laptop and the apps are not there either. Just very old ones. I tried to re-download purchases that I had already made and I get a warning that I will have to pay for the apps. I'm besides myself frustrated right now. What am I missing in the instructions to re-download something already purchased? I dont want to re-purchase all the apps again. Help!
    Is there a way to pull the apps from my phone and put them back into iTunes?
    Any help is appreciated.

    I can confirm that right-clicking on the iPhone or iPod and choosing "Transfer Purchases" will successfully download the installed applications back to the iTunes library.
    One thing to be aware - if you click on the iPhone and then "Apps", you'll see that "Sync Apps" is UNCHECKED. DO NOT CHECK IT and resync without doing a transfer purchases first or else it will also wipe the apps from your device!

  • STUFF MISSING FROM ITUNES IS STILL ON APPLETV

    After upgrading to iTunes 7.6, many of my QT trailers are missing from iTunes ("The movie xxx could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"), but they are all still present and playable on my AppleTV!
    How can the AppleTV continue to sync to something that isn't there?

    The itunes window can in some ways be regarded as a list of alias's, providing you don't delete the alias (the entry in itunes), if I tunes can't find the original it will not delete the synced copy on the tv.
    Not sure why the alias's are broken, could be because you've deleted the originals, moved the originals, chosen another location for your library in your prefs or simply because itunes thinks you have done one of these things.
    If you haven't deleted them and need help relocating them just post back.

  • HT1351 Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".

    Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".iTunes is the only thing open on my computer so I don't understand what this could mean.  If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thanks

    Hello, cgtyoder. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears.  If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings.  The article below will walk you through both these steps.

  • Artists missing from ITunes - how do you ask ITunes to provide them?

    There are a LOT of artists missing from ITUNES. Some seminal albums. For example I wanted to download Ian Dury and the Blockheads (amongst many other artists) but ITUNES does not have a single track by him. Is this because ITUNES is particularly American in their outlook? or some other reason? How do you ask them to make certain artists and albums available for download?

    You need to be aware that often the reason any given artist isn't represented on the iTunes Music Store is that the artist or their record company won't license Apple to resell their tracks. This often happens with a deceased artist; the rights are sown up in estates.
    So by all means submit your request, but don't be surprised if nothing happens; often there's nothing Apple can do. In the case of The Blockheads, you might want to contact them directly and ask them to get their CDs onto the iTMS.
