All music i add only shows up in recently added playlist not in the main library, how do i get it to main library?

?

Hi ft_wesadaguy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you see songs in your Recently Added playlist, they should also appear in your iTunes library. First, double-check that you're viewing your music library:
To view the contents of your iTunes library, click the Library pop-up menu near the top-left of the iTunes window, and choose a type of media to view (Music, Movies, and so on).
From:
iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12402
Additionally, make sure that the "songs" category is selected at the top of iTunes.
If you've confirmed that songs in your playlist do not appear in your iTunes library, I recommend re-creating the library using the steps in this article:

  • HT4527 I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I have a place for my music? Thank you. SandyLyn50

    I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. from my PC to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I can put in my music? Thank you so much

    Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to do. I'm in business again! I had thought of doing this, but didn't think my music would automatically transfer into the new iTunes. It did transfer and I updated to the new version and I'm good to go. Thank you again, so very much

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

  • I have allowed my iTunes Match subscription to expire, because of a limited data plan so can't listen to music outside my house. My music files were removed from my computer and are inaccessible without renewing the subscription. How do I get them back?

    Hi,
    I presume you deleted the original files as match would not have done so. Do you have a back up. If so, restore your music from that. If not, your will have lost all your music as this needed to be on your hard drive when you unsubscribed.

  • I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?

    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • Imported songs show in "recently added" but not in  the general "music" tab

    I imported two Amy Winehouse albums to iTunes, adding to one of her albums I already had. When I order my list in iTunes by "artist", I only see one Amy Winehouse album, which I added long ago. The only way I can see the new albums I imported is to look under "recently added". If I look in the iTunes folder, under music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music/Amy Winehouse all 3 albums appear.
    How do I get the new albums to appear in the general "music" tab without having to look in "recently added"? Thanks...  chas

    Go to the top of this page, click "Support", then type back up itunes" ore similar in the search bar. I believe that the support site is down for the moment but it will be back.
    or.. You can drag the entire itunes folder to your backup drive/disk.
    or..From itunes File>Library>Backup to disk

  • Why are my videos showing up in "Recently Added" but not in TV Shows or Movies?

    I didn't have a problem adding videos to iTunes for several months, but now videos are not appearing in the right places. For some reason, they appear in the Recently Added playlist, but they are not showing up in the Movies section (which is where they had all gone before). The video plays fine if I play the file from Recently Added.
    The files are mp4 format converted with Handbrake, which I have used for a long time without issue.
    2011 iMac OSX 10.7.3 & iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
    My research into the issue has found that some users experience metadata info missing from files. I ran some of the recommended programs that automatically add metadata to videos, but still had no luck adding. The issue is with every single mp4 file I add, and it just suddenly started.
    If I click "Get Info" on a file, they are listed as being sorted as a Movie. If I change it to TV Show or Music Video then click OK, no changes are saved and file goes no where.
    I get no Error Message when adding to iTunes.
    I hope I have provided enough information. I'm eager to hear your answers!

    Update:
    Still having issues getting new videos to show in the "Movies" or "TV Shows" categories of iTunes. However, last night I discovered that Home Sharing on my iPad lists the newly imported videos in the Movies category (iPad & Video app). So, the files aren't corrupt or anything like that. It just seems like I need to 'refresh' the Movies page. Is that possible?
    Since I can see the files on the iPad now, I want to remove the extra copies of movies I imported. But, since I can only find them in Playlists, how can I delete them?

  • I accedentally deleted my recently added play list  which is where i synch my music from how can i retrieve the playlist i'm not concerened about the songs because there in my library but  i  would like the recently added playlist back on the left side

    In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
    Recently Added:
    Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
    Check the box "Live Updating"

  • How to only show what is on my ipad, not everything in my library/cloud.

    since the ios 7 upgrade, my iPad is flooded with movies and tv shows that I have already watched and have removed from my iPad.
    I want to be able to see just what is present on my iPad, but I don't want to hide those items in iTunes on my mac.  I use my iPad mostly offline and the cloud items are distracting and make it hard to use.  Is there a toggle or something to see just what is currently present on my iPad?

    For Music:
    Settings > Music > turn off Show All Music
    For Videos:
    Settings > Videos > turn off Show All Videos

  • How do i only show photos as attachments in mail not display the  photo

    Hi
    I am trying to send some photos by mail on my MBP but instead of just listing as attachments the complete photos are being displayed.
    Can i prevent this from happening as it often results in the email being 10 ft long!!!!!
    Best Rgds
    Kev

    There is a third-party program called Attachment Tamer that will do that for you.  In the Terminal, you can type this:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Also note that while Attachment Tamer does some things with the encoding that makes certain email clients display the item as an attachment, what shows up at the receiver's end is solely dependent on their email client and its settings.

  • Safari does not show up after wife did a rest in the settings. How do I get safari back?

    Need help some how safari is no longer on my wife's iphon4.

    Double check it is not on another homescreen or in a folder and also try to spotlight search it. If you are still unable to locate the safari app icon then go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure safari is switched ON.

  • Tracks only show in recently added? not music library

    anything i add to itunes will show in recently added (or play list) and play fine but do not show in music library? Show in finder will display items where they should be in music folder in finder.  Searching through the recently added playlist is not as much fun as it sounds when you have hundreds of tracks.  Double clicking on track in finder will open track in itunes under recently added playlist, will not show under music library
    anyone else having this issue?
    thanks

    Yes, it is a known bug.
    By design,iTunes can only have a song in a playlist if it is also in the library.  However, due to the intermittent bug, sometimes newly added songs do not display in the Music library list.
    Some people report that a system restart (sometimes more than one is needed) will get the display back to normal.
