Can't see my music in itunes

I have backed up my ICloud on the IPhone 5, and when I plug in the phone to my computer, it shows up on the tab that says "On This IPhone", but when I press the Music library tab, my songs aren't there. I've been trying to backup using ICloud twice, but it is stil not showing up in the Music library. When I click on the Music tab, it says that I can sync my music, but I'd have to erase everything on my phone, and I don't want that.
I have  new laptop, and am using Windows 8 with the new Tunes.

Have you run software update on your new Mac? One of the iTunes updates specifically addressed this problem.

  • Moved my itunes folder to new drive, now can't see my music in itune

    I transferred my itunes over to an external drive per the step-by-step instructions on the Apple site, which assures that all playlists will be maintained. iTunes Properties shows the correct location of the new folder, which, judging by its size, does in fact contain everthing I transferred over to it.
    Now when I open itunes, it is blank - no music, movies or playlists. How do I get itunes to pull up everything propoerly from the new folder location?

    *Well this worked, thank you. However, my playlists arent there. Did yours go back in?*
    I never moved my library file just the music folder but I'm surprised the playlists aren't there if you are picking up the original library.
    *I believe I can now synch the ipods to get those playlists, but there were others..*
    If you sync the iPod to a library without playlists the lists on the iPod will be erased. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and clone playlists from your iPod. I believe these three will recover playlist data, they'll give you somewhere to begin your research:
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Can't see all music in itunes...

    Hi,
    I have recently added music via import CD. I can see the album folders when I navigate to my Music folder but I don't see them in itunes. I had changed my music folder from the default location but have since moved it back. Have "consolidated". No change.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, provided all the media is inside the iTunes Media folder, which is in turn inside the main iTunes folder (which is the standard arrangement) you should be able to move the iTunes folder from <User's Music> to any other path and shift-start-Tunes (option-start-iTunes on a Mac) to reconnect to it.
    If the media folder has split out to another drive in the past, or media is stored outside of the iTunes Media folder, then things get a bit more complicated. I can go into details should it be necessary.

  • Can only see "purchased" music in iTunes

    The rest of my music collection is visible on my iPod, but I can only access "purchased" from my laptop.  So, when I search for a song in my library, it fails to appear unless I have bought the song from Apple.  What happened to the music I imported?

    Are you in the USA?  Currently you can only re-download movies in the USA and not even all of those (studio dependent).
    Before deleting duplicates I would make sure it isn't just two links pointing to the same file.  If it is, delete the link but not the file (especially if you cannot download it again).  In general you need to exercise caution when dealing with duplicates because some are not really.

  • I can't see my music from iTunes in iMovie?!

    I am trying to put music I purchased from iTunes into something I made on iMovie and it just says when I select iTunes, "The Contents of your iTunes library will appear here." I have tried everything, dragging and dropping music onto my desktop, trying to import manually, but then it tells me that it cannot import the media in that folder ("iTunes Library"). Please help!

    I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
    I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

  • When I open iTunes I can't see the music transferred from PC

    I transferred my iTunes folder from PC to sd card to MAC computer following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. The itunes library on my new Mac was completly empty so all I needed to do was dragged the empty folder to the desktop and my library from the sd card to the Music folder. I did this and I can see all the music is in the iTunes folder inside Music folder (on the Mac) but when I open iTunes I can't see any music. Itunes looks brand new. I don't want to click on "Find music files" because I tried that once and all the songs appeared on itunes but there were no playlists. I started the process all over so now I'm stuck with all the music in the folder but Itunes empty????

    Thanks so much for your tip!!  I did that, but it says there's no files in the library.
    Originaly in Itunes > preferences>advanced>under folder location I put in new path pointing to the Ex HD.  made a new folder for my son's library "Nick's Itunes Library". (Keep itunes media folder organized is checked).
    Clicked on change.
    Then i was prompted ot move the exisiting files over which I did.  Went to File>Library>Organize Library>consolidate files>OK
    I did all that.  I closed itunes, went to the external HD to verify all the files were there.  They were.  Went back into itunes on the mac mini HD and deleted the files one at a time.  I realize that this whole thing is not a deal breaker as it is all in iCloud.  And can be downloaded again if necessary.  But I want to know how to do this manually. 
    I just checked the external HD again. The files are there, Itunes isn't recognizing them is my guess.

  • I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

    I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

  • HT1567 I can't see any music I previously saved. I tried to see if the it was hidden-my wife has just set up her own iTunes account, so i checked "previous iTunes library and this is now displayed at the top of the screen -is this the problem?

    I couldn't see any music on iTunes that I had previously saved. I looked in Previous iTunes library. "Previous iTunes Library" now appears at the top of my iTunes screen, is this the problem? If so how do I fix it so i can access my saved music?Also my wife just before this set up her own iTunes account on this PC.
    Cheers
    Jim

    For an updated, I performed an SMC reset and that has solved the problem for the time being. This thread on the World of Warcraft Mac Technical support forum is very helpful, though it seems the issue has not yet been resolved and the SMC reset is a temporary fix at best.

  • The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?

    I have the same problem with new 11.0. Presentation of album data now seems scrambled in 'Album' screen. Instead of albums in alphabetical order with all album tracks I now get albums in the order of the Album Artist. Unless the album artist is EXACTLY the same, the tracks on any one album can be spread all over the screen (hopeless for compilations). Does anbody know how to get the Album screen to sort solely on the Album title?

    What about if I want the entire playlist available so that I can view it in my finder the way I was able to before I made it a playlist?

  • When watching a slideshow I could always access music from my iTunes folder.  Suddenly today I can only hear music under the 'theme' tab.  I can see my music in iTunes but when I double click on it nothing happens!

    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

    Did you transfer the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder?
    Or did you only transfer /Muisic/iTunes/iTunes media? folder?

    I can't see ipod on the itunes library page anymore.  how do i transfer music from the hard drive to my ipod now?

    Click on the button for the iPod on the iTunes header bar, e.g.:
    or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes 11 will look much as earlier versions did. From there the process is exactly the same.
    Regards.

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.
