All music & apps not showing in iTunes

I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro 15" and transferred all my iTunes music, apps etc from a backup from my Time Capsule. However, when I open up my iTunes, the screens meant to be showing my music and apps are blank.
I can access the iTunes store and if I press play then the first song on my list plays and then iTunes crashes.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what you mean by right click on the device. In the upper right hand corner of iTunes I see the device, but I am unable to right click on it. 
I really just wanted to have the apps show up in iTunes so that i could update them all. (This is how I did it before they all disappeared). But I guess I can just update them directly on my iPad and iPhone. Is there a reason i need to have them show in iTunes is I can update and manage them directly on my iPad?

  • I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

    I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

    Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

  • Mobile apps not showing in itunes after upgrade

    After upgrading to iTunes 10.5.1.42, the apps I've purchased no linger show in the library listing.  They are still on my Windows 7 machine in the folder ...\music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications.  They just do not show in iTunes.  Does anyone know how I can get them to show again? 

    I get to this step in step 5 but I dont have the file/directory
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Where can I download the needed file? I think it is called usbaapl64

  • My purchased music does not show in iTunes on my new mac

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro.  The iTunes library was transferred over by the Apple store employees, but my purchased music does not show.  How can I get my purchased music to show in iTunes?  (I previously had a Windows PC).  Thank you!

    The 'Purchased' music is just a special Playlist. You can create your own and drag the links into the 'Purchased' PL.
    Using the command CMD-J you can add the Purchase date to your list view - sort by date - drag the tunes to the 'Purchased' PL.

  • Apps not showing in Itunes

    I recently did a fresh install of windows vista, and put all of my files back into itunes.
    All of my music is now there but my apps seem to be missing. I have added a folder called "mobile applications" into [username]>music>Itunes but still the apps are not visible in Itunes.
    I need to sync my phone now but am scared to do so for fear of losing the apps. Can anyone help get these files to show in Itunes?

    If the apps are in that folder then try adding it to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Libary. Or, as long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • The check box for syncing apps not showing in iTunes Apps page

    My new iPad is syncing Books, iTunes U, Movies and Music but not Apps. When I look in iTunes on my iMac the option box to sync apps is not there. It just says Apps all the other pages, Music, TV Show, Podcasts etc. have a check box for syncing. Any idea why Apps does not?

    In the iTunes User Guide it shows a sync check box next to Apps as you can see it's not there.
    I do see the Sync check box for Music, Movies, etc.

  • Why do I have to re add all songs/apps/movies/shows to Itunes??

    Itunes seems to lose all my songs/apps/movies/shows every once and a while and it all has to be re added?? HELP, why does it keep doing this??

    Normally no, updating iTunes won't affect your library at all. That said, it would be wise prior to the upgrade to make a backup of the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files and of any tracks you've purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, just in case something does go wrong.

  • Music app not showing Artists

    I'm using a first generation iPad with ios 5. I'm having trouble displaying the artist names in the Music app. I already checked all the tags and made sure that the albums are not compilations. I have 4 albums on my iPad and only one of them shows the Artist name. I have no idea why the other albums are not showing the Artist. Please let me know how I can fix this. Thanks.

    I have this exact same issue, i have emailed apple and have been told they have no idea and i should phone thier support team at my expence. Not really impressed as i am paying for the match service so i should at least get free support.

  • My apps not showing in itunes ?

    A friend logged into her itunes on my computer a few weeks ago. For some reason now when logged into my itunes i can only see her apps? I have made sure i am logged in my apple id!  Even in my devices, and the apps section i can not see my apps. The screen view on the right shows my front screen and all my apps. however the list of apps on the left are hers??
    HELP!

    Ok, so (typically) as soon as I post this and continue tinkering I solve it..
    I synced my iPhone then reconnected my iPad2 and the menu item showed up again - along with the others that were missing.

  • Purchased apps not showing in iTunes?

    I got a new laptop yesterday and all my music and movies transfered into itunes when I signed in, but my apps did not. They did not get removed off my iPhone. I can't load any new apps on my iPhone because when I go to the apps tab in iTunes, the only way to load it onto my phone is to check off apps and if I do that all my previous apps on my phone will get removed. How do I get my apps into iTunes without removing them from my phone and repurchasing them?

    With iphone connected, click File>Transfer Purchases
    This should transfer all apps from iphone to computer.

  • HT203128 apps not showing in iTunes

    i have my iTunes open on my macbook air and my apps are not showing in  my app, iPhone apps, or iPad apps, anyone else having this problem????
    Apps are on my iPad and phone, just not sowing ALL the apps I have downloaded in the past that are not on my iPhone and iPad, help

    If you want all apps to show in the Apps part of your iTunes library then go in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tickbox - that should show anything that is still in the store, and which you haven't hidden (hiding and unhiding) or is currently downloaded into your library, to show in your library with a cloud icon against them (tap on the cloud icon to redownload an item). Or you can see what is redownloadable by clicking on your name towards the top right of the iTunes screen and then click 'Purchased' on the popup.

  • My iTunes music is not showing in iTunes

    I just bought a new iMac and wanted to move my iTunes library from my MacBook to my iMac.  I followed the directions in the set up assistant.  I copied the entire iTunes folder (not just media or music) onto an external hard drive.  I then merged that iTunes folder with the one on my new iMac.  When I look in a finder window I can see all of my music in the iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder.  However, when I open iTunes the only music there is what I have purchased on iTunes.  Why isn't iTunes reading the correct folder?  I have made sure it is directed to the right folder in preferences (see screen shot) but it's still not showing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Pearljamluvr,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you have transferred your iTunes library to a new computer, and are wondering how to get that content imported into iTunes.  To accomplish this, please see the information and the article outlined below.
    Part 4 (optional): Add back new content
    Copy the iTunes Media folder you created in Part 2 into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder inside the iTunes Media folder you copied in Part 3. iTunes will automatically import the content.

  • Iphone 4S iTunes music purchase not showing in iTunes on Mac

    I purchased a song on my iPhone 4S using the same iTunes account that I use on my MacPro running Lion and the latest version of iTunes.
    The purchased song shows up on my Mac iTunes under "purchased", but it does not show up in Music when I search for the song.
    I did confirm that the song did download to my Mac from the iTunes store automatically. I am an iCloud subscriber and all of my devices have been synched with iCloud.
    Why doesn't it show up in my regular music catalog on my Mac? Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Ipod music does not show in Itunes

    Hello! I am new to the forum and was hoping someone could provide some advise please. I previously used Windows with my Ipod - they were synced. I have since purchased a Macbook Pro. My previous Itunes playlist (windows) is on the Ipod, but no longer on my current Itunes (macbook). I want to play music from my Ipod on my Mac and possible transfer music from the Ipod to the Mac. I have ticked 'manually manage', when I plug in the Ipod, however, it does not show any music Ipod content on Itunes. Am I missing something basic? Thank you so much.

    Hi...
    possible transfer music from the Ipod to the Mac.
    First, if you have not done so, launch iTunes on your Mac. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now connect the iPod.
    Now from the menu bar again click File > Transfer Purchases from ...
    For "non" iTunes purchases you may need to use a third party utility.

  • Purchased music does not show in itunes.  Only the artists

    I purchased a couple albums on my iPhone.  It shows the artist in the iTunes store and that there are 22 items, but it does not show the music for me to download it to my library. 

    Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to redownload the albums via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your PC's iTunes, or on the current version of iTunes you can access the Purchased section by clicking on your name towards the top right of the iTunes screen and then Purchased on the popup
    If they show there then click on the cloud icons on them to download them
