Can't find certain songs

I heard a song on youtube and I tried to look it up on iTunes. It wasn't there. I googled it and somebody said it was only on the irish version of iTunes??? I'm not even sure what that is.

Not all songs are available in iTunes, and those that are available aren't necessarily available in all countries iTunes stores (I assume that the song is only available in the Ireland iTunes store) - Apple can only sell content where the content providers (in this case the record companies) grant them licenses to sell it. You can try requesting that the song be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decision : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

ITunes "can't find" certain songs when I sync my phone

When I sync my iPhone with iTunes, I get an error message saying that certain songs cannot be synced because they cannot be found, and yet, there they are on my phone! I've tried deleting the songs from my iTunes library, and then adding them back in, to no avail. There is a check box that tells iTunes to stop showing the error, but I'd rather solve the problem than pretend there isn't one. Besides, what if, at some time, there really is a problem that I want called to my attention? My phone is an iPhone 4s, and I'm running the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 7 computer, but this happened even with my old iPhone 3 and on previous versions of iTunes. It's not such a tremendous problem as to have a significant negative impact the life of an average person, but I've tried for years to figure this out on my own, and I've got nothing! I've even gone through my library line by line (this is in excess of 500 songs), looking for those little exclamation points that say there's a problem. I can safely say that I have none of those.

I subsequently answered this issue for myself, and now I feel a little foolish. In my case, it turned out to have nothing to do with the songs themselves, but with ringtones I'd created from those songs. When I looked under "Tones", I saw the exclamation points all over the place, and multiple copies of the "problem" ringtones (probably due to my repeated downloading of them). Now, I put all of the ringtones I created in a single folder in the music library of my computer and so, should iTunes have this issue again, I'll know just where to tell it to look.
By the way, if anybody doesn't know how, and is interested in making their own ringtones, I learned here: http://osxdaily.com/2010/09/04/make-free-iphone-ringtones-in-itunes-10/

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.

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.

Can't find certain music on Zen Style

%?Hello!
My partner has a Style and whilst most of it works fine, one particular album we have loaded onto it cannot be found when trying to play it on the device. The computer recognises it (both WinAmp and Creative MediaSource Organiser, as well as bog standard Windows. We can't fathom out Centrale - it doesn't recognise it at all!). I have tagged and re-tagged everything, album, artist, song titles (using assorted programmes to do it too), but the only way my partner can get the songs to play is by leaving it on random play and eventually one of them will come up, she then gives it a 5* rating and then can only find the songs by searching for stuff with 5*s. I've tried dumping everything into a playlist but it doesn't recognise that either.
Between us, it's the 5th Creative device we've had so it's not like we're new to the company's products - hope one of you has an answer for us, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks very much!

It seems that this problem is prevalent..just read around the forum and there seems to be no solution to the fact that there is no way for the creative software to recognize large portions of your computer's mp3 files...so if you want a creative, I am now selling mine on ebay here?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260777062956#ht_500wt_ 56
As much as I can't stand Apple, it seems I am going to have to go back to using an
Ipod--at least that recognizes all the files on my hard dri've.

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!!!!

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 ?

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.

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

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.

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 delete certain songs off my iPhone

A few months ago I clicked the "Show all music" it the music settings on my iPhone. After a few weeks I no longer wanted all the music to show up so I turned it off. Now I can't get certain songs off my phone. I am unable to swipe left on these songs and they don't show up on iTunes or on the One This iPhone tab. All of the songs appear to be songs that I have since deleted from my iTunes library. I have tried removing all songs from the iPhone yet the pesky songs are still there. I also tried unclicking the Sync Music in the Music tab of my iPhone but nothing seems to get theses songs to go away.
Please help.

This will delete all the music from the device:
Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > > Delete

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.
