Apple TV only imports some songs

I believe the songs Apple Tv imports are the songs I bought from itunes. The ones I importeed from my cds are not importing. The songs that I bought from itunes have a cloud symbol next to them. The songs that do not have the cloud next to them are not importing to Apple Tv. What do I need to do to get my other songs on Apple Tv?

Yes this is all referring to the Apple TV. That option would be within the settings app (so that is still the wrong place),you need to go to the main menu. Then you need to go to the icon that says computers, it is right next to the music app.
Note: Your computer must be on and running iTunes for your library to show up.

I can import some songs from another computer but not others. All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Message says "...check connection to network..." Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's computer but not others. All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." The network appears to be fine . I can import other songs from his library. The same songs cause me a problem each time I try. My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well. "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot. My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7. I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

I preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened

i preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened??

What do you mean 'only got some songs not all' ?
Has the album now been released ? If it is has and you've paid for it (you aren't charged when you pre-order an item, only when it's released) then you should be able to download the complete e.g. via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

Ipod Mini will only play some songs

My ipod mini has 43 songs. It will only play some of my songs. The other songs won't even play a single second. I've had some success with restoring via the ipod updater but it keeps coming back. Help?

I've already written to Apple, several times. They sent an auto-reply expressing sympathy that I couldn't find where I had downloaded my iTunes, and directing me to the correct folder...not exactly a helpful answer.
I'm using whatever software came with the blue mini last August when I bought it. I can't be positive, but it seems that the only iPod software updates since then have been related to the shuffle, the nano, ot the new iPod (video), or a system bugs (Tiger) which I don't have yet.
What would have made iTunes stop recognizing the system and the iTunes version associated with the music I bought? What prevents iTunes, at some future point, from suddenly not recognizing my right to play music I paid for and/or insisting that I upgrade something which had been working just fine--until I went online?
Don't get me wrong--I've had Apples for almost 20 years. I have been a fervent supporter of Apples, have referred many people to Macs over the years, and have no intention of using Windows....Maybe that kind of loyalty is what gives the impression that I'll put up with whatever happens, unfair or not. A more accurate interpretation, however, would be that I'll just keep one Mac offline all the time so I can choose what software to upgrade, and when.
But this is an iPod forum...and I digress...
Thank you for your attempt to get to the bottom of this.

Can't Import Some Songs or More than One - HELP

I can't get an answer to this question: why when trying to import multiple songs will the import fail. I have to go back and do 1 or 2 at a time -- huge PITA. Also, Musicmatch would allow you to "scan" a folder and it would faithfully scoop up every song you'd downloaded since the last time it ran and import it. Can itunes perform this basic function?
Any help greatly appreciated. I love my ipod, but itunes seems like it goes out of it's way to make this difficult (gee, i wonder why)!

I can't answer the problem about the import failing, but you can tell iTunes to scan a folder for new music.
'File' -> 'Add folder to Library...'
By default, it copies the music files in the folder you selected to your iTunes folder, so you end up with 2 copies of the files. To prevent that and just have it list the files in iTunes, but not move or copy the files, you have to change some setting in Preferences.

my pc computer crashed so I bought a new one and autorized it. Downloaded itunes, synced my ipad and it only copied some of my sngs and no apps. How can I download my ipad to my new computer

You can re-download your apps and ibooks purchases via your purchase history in iTunes on your computer (assuming that it's version 10.3+), and if you are in the USA then you can also re-download music I think - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For music that you ripped from CDs or bought from a source other than iTunes then, assuming that you made/maintained one, you can copy them from your backup - and backups are relatively easy to maintain, so there is no reason not to have one (especially as content is occasionally removed from iTunes so isn't always available for re-download). Otherwise there may be third-party programs that can copy them off the iPad, but you can't do it via iTunes - this post from a year ago was about iPod/iPhone to computer utilities but some might work with the iPad : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11646661?messageID=11646661&#11646661 .
If you've got content in other apps that you want to copy back to your computer then you might be able to do via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab in iTunes, or they might have wifi transfer capability.

HT1386 new ipad only syncs some songs

Some songs sync some dont. They all appear on iPad but only some songs will play. Help!!

When you synced the iPad did you make sure that the songs were selected ro sync.
With the iPad connected to your computer and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices heading on the left. Click on the Music Tab in iTunes on the right. Look to make sure that all of your albums, playlists, artist have been selected to sync. If not, select them and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Music heading is checked as well.

ITunes will, not Import some songs, some it will

I have all of my music on an external drive saved as mp3s. aac, etc.
I am trying to create a new library for my iPod Classic. When I drag and drop songs into iTunes so it will import them into the new library, it will import some and totally ignore others. I can't figure out what the difference is between the ones it "likes" and the ones it "doesn't like".
Any ideas?

On a somewhat related note.... I had always added songs to my iTunes in Tiger via either Import from CD, or "Add to Library" from an external drive. But with Leopard, "Add to Library" doesn't seem to do anything whatsoever.
When I got my iMac 24" (with Leopard), I migrated all my data (including all my music files) from my iMac G5 (with Tiger).. and ever since then, I can still "Import" from a music CD, but from other sources, "Add to Library" doesn't do anything. What I end up doing is dragging the music files from the Finder and dropping them into my Music list in the iTunes application window.
I keep my iTunes versions current, so the different behavior appears to be due to the different OS.
It's a curious thing. I wonder if anyone else has seen this and can explain it? Thanks..

Itunes only imports some of my songs

When I drag my library from my music folder into my iTunes library, only 401 of my songs get imported into iTunes.
Why is this happening and how can I get all of my music into iTunes so I can synch my iPod?

I downgraded to version 6, was able to import the library file. There's clearly a bug with version 7 when it comes to importing large library files.

Music App on iPad Only Showing SOME Songs...

...yet ALL songs appear to be ON THE IPAD when viewed in iTunes on my MacBook with the iPad connected to my MacBook
So here's my issue and Googling for days has only produced a bunch of theories and random guesses at a solution but no real solution. Here we go: With my iPad 2 (ver. 5.1.1) connected to my MacBook, I drag a handful of MP3s (audiobook tracks) onto my iPad. Using iTunes on my MacBook, I create some Playlists on the iPAd for these new tracks.
Then, I press the Sync button in iTunes to ensure that what I have just done on the iPad in iTunes on my MacBook actually syncronizes with the iPad. Everything looks good. With the iPad still connected, in iTunes I can see the handful of new tracks I just dragged over onto the iPad and they actually appear in the correct Smart Playlist I made.
However...
When I disconnect the iPad from the MacBook, then open up the Music app on the iPad, I cannot see my new MP3 tracks anywhre on the iPad and the new Playlist is empty.
Now, keep in mind that SOME tracks transfer and are visible in Music. However, it is not 100% consistent and it fails more often than it is successful.
I have tried deleting the tracks and the Playlists from the iPad entirely then dragging them back onto the iPad (via iTunes) and while the tracks actually show that they are in fact on my iPad (via MacBook iTunes) while the iPad is connected to my MacBook, when I disconnect the iPad from MacBook/iTunes, I am unable to find the tracks on my iPad via the Music app. They don't show up in Music, Audiobooks. They don't even show up by author or genre. It's as if they aren't even on my iPad. Yet, when I reconnect the iPad back to the MacBook and view the contents via the iTunes on my MacBook, viola! There they are on my iPad.
I have successfully used this method to add MP3s to my iPad and occasionally, the tracks actually do show up in my Music app on the iPad. However, success is intermitent and uncertain...and rare.
I am NOT using iTunes Match so that option is turned OFF in my iPad Settings. I have tried turning it on to see if it would make a difference and I onl get a dialog box that tells me that I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match.
I have updated my iPad IOS to the latest. Have powered off completely then powered back on.
Still....nothing works.
Thanks so much for your input. I'm perplexed beyond belief by this random and frustrating issue.
C'mon gurus and expert users. What do you recommend?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Home Sharing only transfers some songs, asks to reauhorize for others....

I have the latest iTunes installed on both computers. When trying to use the Home Share, it transferred only 250 of the 350 songs from the main computer's library. I can see all 350 songs in the Home Share section. If I try to play or import one of the 100 songs that didn't transfer it tells me to authorize the computer. The computer is already authorized.
When I enter in my username and password it tells me the computer is already authorized and still won't bring any of those songs over. I'm stumped on how to get the last 100 songs shared on my other computer.
Any help appreciated

Go to one of the songs that isn't transferring (from the machine on which it resides), right-click, pull up "Get info" screen, check info on "summary" section. Does it list a "purchased by" and an "account name"? Is this the same Apple ID for which the two machines have been registered?

Iphoto only imports some ical dates when making a calendar

I am using Iphoto 11, on snow leopard, attempting to create a calendar populated with dates from ical. some dates show up, but many don't. there doesn't appear to be a pattern in terms of which dates appear and which don't. I have seens some posts that suggest dates with multiple events won't work, but this isn't the pattern i have seen. i have some dates with mulitple events that are imported and some that aren't. it also does seem to hit a date and stop, the missing dates are all throughout the year.
Anyone encounter anything like this before? Any work arounds?
Gosh I hate buggy software. #$&!@2

through additional experimentation, here is what i learned.
when i created the calendar, i told iphoto i wanted to display american holidays and a calendar from ical.
If i unselect the show holidays options, my dates import correctly. with holiday selected i get some dates from ical, but only to the extent they don't over lap with holidays.
once i noticed this pattern, i went back and forth and sure enough if you have an event from ical on say chirtmas day, it won't be imported into your calendar.
I didn't seem to matter which order the events were added to the calendar ... holidays first or ical calendar dates first.
Finally, i created an ical calendar with the holidays i wanted displayed, then in iphoto told it not to include holidays, but to display both ical calendars. That had the same issue. on date where you have events on both calendars, only one set of dates will appear in iphoto.
so to conclude building a calendar in iphoto you can not include dates from mulitple ical calendars without conflict.
i stopped short of merging calendars in ical, but i guess that's next.
Not to be too critical here, but that sounds like bug someone at apple might be able to fix.
Perhaps some of the developers you have building weekly updates to itunes and put them to work cleaning up this kind of mess.
Hope this helps others with the same problem.
regards.
