Can anyone help? I can't find my songs!

Hi, I'm looking for my songs and I can't find any. I guess I should have been using the desktop icon, but I've been going on the internet. I used to be able to find them all in my library and now they are not there. Can anyone help me locate them? Thank you in advance for any assistance!!!

You cannot download music from the iPod to the PC, unless you are referring to transferring purchases that you made in iTunes. iTunes is designed to sync in one direction, from iTunes library to the iPod. You music should be in the iTunes library. That is why you saw the warning that music would be deleted. If you have a backup of the iPod, you can try restoring the iPod, but it may not work, since music is not generally backed up.

Safari Quits Unexpectedly On Startup OS X 10.10.2 can anyone help? I cant find any malware or any virus

Safari Quits Unexpectedly On Start up OS X 10.10.2 can anyone help? I cant find any malware or any virus I updated to 10.10.2 also to try to fix the problem.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

HT201272 I can't find my songs I just bought on my iPod touch..please help thank you

I can't find the songs I just bought on my iPod touch. Any help you can give me is appreciated.. Thank you

If they've finished downloading then they should be in the iPod's Music app - is that where you've looked for them ? If they don't show in there then have you tried closing the Music app via the iPod's taskbar and/or tried a soft-reset of your iPod to see if they then show up in Music ?

HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.
Peace Out.

I can't find a song I bought on itunes?

I bought a sobng on itunes, and when it showed up on my song list it had a picture of a cloud near it. Now, I can't find the song on my itunes list but I paid for it. Help?

Does it stil have the cloud symbol or not ?
If it has the cloud symbol next to it e.g.
If it has then that implies that it is only in the cloud and not downloaded into your library. If you click on it then it should download onto your computer.
(You can turn off whether items that are only in the cloud show on your iTunes library via Edit > Preferences, iTunes > Preferences if on a Mac - select the Store tab on that and there should be a 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tickbox.)
You can also redownload content via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If an item is shown there but doesn't have the cloud symbol then is it still listed in your iTunes library (i.e. where you would click on it to play it) ? If it is then iTunes will be seeing that and assuming that there is therefore no need to be able to redownload it - deleting it from your library should then give the cloud symbol against it in Purchased.
If it doesn't show in the Purchased link at all then is it still in your country's store ? If not then the record label has probably removed it, so you won't be able to redownload it. If it is still in the store but not in Purchased then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

Can't find a song that I know is on iTunes

When I was in Europe, there was a song I heard called "Nine Million Bicycles in Beijing." I know it's on iTunes because I did a search on it when I was in Europe using my laptop. The only reason I didn't buy it was because everything was in Euros. And .99Euros is much more expensive than $.99 in the states. When I came back to the states and did a search for the song, it can't find it. Any ideas why?

SirSly, welcome to discussions! I've done several searches in the European stores including UK, France, & Germany, & can't find this song in any of these 3 stores. The most likely reason that it isn't available in the US store is that the copyright holders of the song have not negotiated a deal with the US store for distribution.
This scenario is usually why songs may be available in one country but not in others. Copyright holders can easily vary from country to country & deals have to be negotiated in every country for download distribution of music. Hope this helps!

Defrag my hard drive on my iMac now I tunes can't find my songs in the iTunes library

I defraged my hard drive now iTunes can't find the songs in the library. Not connected to the cloud yet. Any suggestions on getting iTunes to find the master copy of the songs so I can play them on my iMacs. I have the same songs on my I pad but I don't know of any way of transferring my music from my iPod to the iTunes library on my iMac. Any thoughts.

Same problem here. In my case I suspect due to having been cleaning out duplicate music files when hard disk was filling at an alarming rate (as I watched.) No longer doing that but my cleanup must have moved essential elements and files.
Anyone know how to get my purchased stuff, showing as purchased but with exclamation mark, back into itunes again?

Can't find my songs on my ipod

I can't find my songs on my ipod. However, when I connect my ipod to my computer the songs are listed. How do I find them on the ipod? Please help.

How are you putting the songs on your iPod? Are you loading them through iTunes?
If you're just using the iPod as a removable drive and dragging the songs to the iPod, they will be stored on the iPod but not accessible through the interface.

Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

I tunes can't find original song files of all my songs. How do I fix this?

I tunes can't find original song files of all my songs. How do I fix this?

Itunes stores ripped cds in the 'itunes' folder called 'itunes music' which under normal installation should reside into your 'My music' folder. Your music folders on the DVD then have to be copied into the 'Itunes music' folder for itunes to find it.
The tracks with the exclamation marks have registered with the incorrect location into the library. You can do two things:
Either search in the folder where you copied them from the DVD at the earlier step described above which means that you will have to do this for every single track, or the fastest way, delete all the incorrect entries and re-import by drag and drop into library the folders with the music you want to show in the library.

Updated iPod software, now it can't find 100 songs of my music.

It cannot fine the origional file for 100 songs? If I go into my music folder, itunes music, I can find all the songs. What happened!!??

This is a major Itunes Flaw!
This is not an issue that one of the volunteer experts can answer or solve. There needs to be a software change.
Why they have not found a fix for it I don't know.
If google can index and locate billions of pages, why in the world can't Apple make an itunes program that can locate songs after you have undocked.
With me my problem is that I have my songs on an external drive. When I plug it back in it shows that it is the same drive, but itunes can't find the songs. Even when I repoint it in the right external directory, I still have to go into the specific root directory for that song. If you have 4000 songs that could take forever.
What is the Deal Apple!!!!

I can't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added. The purchases are on my account.

I can't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added. I have searched my library but they are not there. Itunes says that all recently purchased items have been downloaded. Where are the songs?

I don't know how, but this problem resolved itself for me. If you don't see the downloads go to Documents, My Music, iTunes and then scrounge around to see if you can find a file with new downloads in there. Then you can drag them to the iTunes icon.
Then try shutting down iTunes, and your computer and restart to see if this issue fixes itself. I know, only a Mackie would think that a computer could fix itself.

HT1725 Hello! I can't find one song in the Purchases in iTunes.

Hello! I like listen music on my iPad. At one, I found, that name of one song is written in grey color. I've delete it, and I thought that I could download it again, but I can't find this song in the Purchases in iTunes! When I look at this song at the store, it shows me that I haven't bought this song. How to solve that problem?

You are signed in with the same account that you bought the song with, you haven't changed countries since buying it, and it's the same song (e.g. you aren't looking at a differennt version of the song, different single, album, etc) ? Have you checked to see if it's hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
If you've changed countries since buying it, or if the exact version of the song that you bought is no longer in your country's store, then you won't be able to redownload it. You've been keeping and maintaining a backup of all of yoru downloads via your computer's iTunes ? If you have then you can sync it back from your computer.

ITunes can not find orignal songs

iTunes is saying it can not find orignal songs. The ones it can not find are all the songs I put on there from my Cd collection. Having taking the time 3yrs ago to put them all on itunes I do not want to do that again. So itunes does not fully sync with my ipod. Also that means I can not create a play list with any of those songs.

Unfortunately you will either have to locate the files for those songs on your Hard Drive or re-import them to iTunes. There are however several steps you can take to make sure that this doesn't happen again.
1. In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences
2. Choose the Advanced tab in the Preference window
3. Under General their will be a option to check "Copy file to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" select that
4. Exit the window by pressing OK
Also you will want to consolidate your iTunes library to reduce future loss of other files currently in iTunes. By consolidating your files it will place a copy of all of them inside your iTunes folder on your Hard Drive. To consolidate your library use the following steps in iTunes.
1. Advanced > "Consolidate Library..."
2. A warning dialog will appear stating "Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes music folder. This cannot be undone" Press "Consolidate"
iTunes will copy all your files to the iTunes Music folder. This will NOT copy any of the files that it cannot find though.

Can anyone help? I can't find my songs!
