Can transfer to playlist, but doesnt show up in library      please help

I have several songs that i am unable to transfer directly to the library.... they are easily dragged/dropped into a playlist in iTunes, but dont show up in the main library.
Also they show up as a playlist on my iPhone 4, but again are not found ANYWHERE in the main library..
After some digging, I was able to find these songs in a folder within the iTunes folder on my PC
The songs are labeled correctly, yet they show up as "unknown album, unknown artist" but they are clearly labeled .... Im confused and just want to get these songs to appear in the main library of iTunes and also on my phone.
They appear as a playlist on my iPhone but I cleared the playlist and suddenly they were gone...instantly. 
I just want these songs on my phone...  (these are mp3's that I have had on my PC for years)

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
If you are using a laptop, this page might help: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

    Sure thing bro, no problem. I assume your running Windows 7 or 8? So for me I had to update the iphone drivers.
    First, open Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound then devices and printers look for your apple iphone under the "Unspecified Devices" tab, Right click on it, choose properties, after that you'll choose the hardware tab to the right of the box that opens. When you click on hardware, choose properties again toward the bottom. Then you'll choose settings, after that you should see the Driver tab, 2nd one. Click that and choose update driver, then browse my computer for driver software, after that you'll want to navigate to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and click Ok. The driver should update and all should be good after that. Matter of fact, here is the article i used. Good luck dude!!

  • I have downloaded RAW photos into IPhoto but they show up as JPEG, please help

    Why do my RAW photos show up as JPEG when I download to IPhoto 11?

    Betty,
    do you have a camera with supported raw format? What is your MacOS X version?

    And where exactly do you see your raw files as jpeg? When exporting? After editing?

  • Pdfs and MP3s in iTunes Folder not showing up iTunes Library - Please Help

    Hi, I am running iTunes 10.7 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB of RAM using OS X 10.7.5.
    My problem is that when I bring the latest set of pdf and MP3 files I added do not show up in my iTunes library.  If I go through the finder they are in the iTunes folder, but they will not display or play.
    Thank you
    Nucleus

    They will not play or display even outside of iTunes?  Not with Quicktime Player (for the mp3s) or Preview (for the PDFs)?  If that's the case the files are probably corrupt.
    Adding items to iTunes and not having them appear in the library is a recurring problem with newer versions for some.
    Try restarting iTunes.
    Check your recently added playlist.  If they are there, try temporarily editing an item in the name, then restart iTunes and see if it appears. 
    Start iTunes, immediately hold down the option key and create a new, test library.  Add the files to it.  Do they add?  If yes, then they are readable by iTunes.  Go back to your old library using hte option key thing again.

  • Can't Sync Songs Without Itunes Erasing My Existing Library ( PLEASE HELP!)

    Okay, My laptop had a problem and I had to restore my system to it's default setting. In which it deleted everything, Including iTunes. I downloaded iTunes again, and I didn't have any of my songs. So I tried to sync them back, But when I tried to sync it, a box popped up stating 'Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPod "Alexis's iPod" will be removed and replaced with songs and playlist from your iTunes library.' . I don't want to delete all my songs and have to start over. I Googled how to and many sites told me to go to the summary section and select " manually manage music and videos" under the options tab, then just drag and drop the songs into the iPod. So I went to the summary and did it. But when I tried to drag and drop the selected song, it wouldn't move, I think it may have to do with the fact that I had to resort to using "file sharing sites" (which I was very reluctant in doing, because of the viruses). I couldn't find the songs I wanted on iTunes so I had to find them on a file sharing site. So my question is, How do I sync my songs from the file sharing site and iTunes with out my songs being deleted?

    Apple's software doesn't allow transferring music from the iPod to a computer. There are unsupported programs out there that will do this for you, but most aren't freeware.
    Good luck!

  • Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

    Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

    Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage.  It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time.  But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
    Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable? 
    Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
    Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)?  You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
    If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?

  • Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD.

    Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD. Some are watched others not. It just seems to be a fluke sometimes that they show up in the rented movies when i sync. And bought movies I always have to manually transfer to my computer!

    How did you rent them ? From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

    It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
    As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
    Was there an update maybe ?

    Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
    Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
    Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

  • Anyone know how I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop. Computer had crashed. I am unable to export. I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?

    Anyone know if I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop.
    I am not keen to sync my iphone to my new laptop in case it wipes out my playlist.
    My Computer had crashed so I am unable to export a playlist.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello CDA ENT
    I would turn off the automatic syncing so that way you can see what is on your iPhone. From there, you should be able to see what is on your iPhone and then can export out the playlists and then import them back to your library. I would also recommend backing up your iPhone before going through with this process. To export a playlist, have it highlighted then go to File > Library > Export Playlist…
