Can't see playlist/music library

My shuffle shows up under devices on itunes, however, I cannot get it to open. Anytime I click on it, it just brings up the "Register your ipod" screen. I have already registered it. I just want to see what music is on there so that I can delete some and add new music I already uploaded to itunes.
HELP! I am very frustrated!!

Apparently, time heals all wounds.
The song is in the library now......big as life.
I wasn't high, I wasn't drunk. It wasn't there a couple of days ago.
And I looked hard!
We'll have to add this to the "life's unsolved mysteries" list.

Can't see iTunes Music Library in Aperture slideshow tool!

Hi everybody
I keep my iTunes Music Library on an external HD. Aperture Library is on a second external HD. Aperture doesn't show my playlists in the slideshow tool, therefore I can't play music to my slides.
How can I make Aperture show me the playlists?
I have the same problem with iPhoto.
Thanks for your help, Rob

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

Need to synch iphone 4 with a PC...can't see my music library

I need to synch my new iPhone 4 with a PC, since my macbook doesn;t run Leopard. I have authorized the PC, but can only see my boyfriend's library--not mine. Any suggestions?

Did you put your library on the PC?
It will not magically appear. You have to put it there.

When i plug my ipod in i can't see my music or playlist?

I just got a new used ipod and I transferred music from my library to my Ipod and now I can't see my music list or my playlist so I can't add or delete music.

Can't see it in iTunes or on the iPod itself? To view content that is synced to your iPod via iTunes, click the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to reveal a submenu of content. Click the appropriate playlist or content category to view what content has been synced to the Nano.

I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?

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.

The red exclamation mark indicates that itunes cannot find your files.
Are the music files still on your harddrive. Look n Finder
Username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
If the files are there then keep the option key pressed and open iTunes. A dialog box will open asking you to choose your library. Select Choose and then navigate to the Music/iTunes Folder and click OK

I can see my music library but when I go to shop the itunes store it's blank

I can see my music library but when I go to itunes store it's blank what happened?

I have the same issue with the blank store. I have my music I already have but I can't buy or preview any songs that the store finds for me. That's my main issue.

I recently changed my PC and I transferred my iTunes music library to an external disc. Now, when I open iTunes I can only see the music I've downloaded, but not the rest of my music. Whatdo I need to do?

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

Can't see my music!!

how can I see the music that I bought, i dont know how to find it. I want update the iOS4 software and it says that I have to transfer the music that I bought in the past. I just want somebody to explain me how to transfer my music so I can update the software.
PS. it's ok that I update iSO4 software. I've been heard it drains iPod's battery and stuff. thoughts?

HP iPods... I know they did this awhile back. Not sure if they still do it?!
When you select your iPod, and the songs are greyed out, its becuase of security and stealing protection. Although there is plenty of software that allow you to "un-grey" the songs.
You cannot create a new playlist directly on your iPod. It has to be done on your iTunes Library, then synced to your iPod.
The new 5G iPods are a little bit larger than previous models, but thats because of that nice 65,000+ color screen... (the screen is bigger)

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?

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.

How can I update my music library on Windows and a library on Mac on netwo

I have music on my PC and music on my Mac, both systems running iTunes.The 2 systems are networked. Can iTunes update my music library on both computers so they have the same music library without deleting any songs?

iTunes cannot, no.
See this -> syncotunes.

Can I Use My Music Library With itunes and ipod if it's Only Saved to an External Hard Drive?

I have very little space left on my internal hard drives. I have the same music library saved on an external drive. To get some space back, can I delete my music library from the internal drive C and just use the library on the external drive? Will it work in my itunes library and ipod? I want to download more music but I'm afraid to right now, because there is hardly any space left!

Rick,
For everything you should know about Time Machine, see http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
If your photos were on your internal drive then, yes, they are likely to have been backed up by Time Machine.
However, if Time Machine starts running out of space, it will delete old back ups and thus your photos aren't really 'safe' just on a Time Machine back up. What you really need to do is either:
Buy another external hard drive for storing your photos and other files, or;
Back up your photos to DVD's: there are a number of cataloging apps that you can use to catalog your files or, if you have named them something specific, use something like DiskTracker.
Either way, don't rely on your Time Machine back-up to store your photos.
Good luck - call back if you need more information,
Clinton

After 2 years of not having a PC i now have a laptop... I downloaded iTunes. How can I retrieve my music library???

After 2 years of not having a PC i recently purchased and ASUS laptop and downloaded iTunes. How can I retrieve my music library?
I thought I backed it up on an external hard drive, but I can't import the files to my library...

Is there any way Apple can help me recover my music library?
