CD's not showing up in library.

I installed a CD but i can only put it in a playlist and it doesn't show up in the music library

The free single may be dependent upon the country you're in. If I look in the UK store now, I cannot see a free single at this time. Maybe Apple have stopped it.
Have a look through the iTunes For Windows discussions for "CDs not showing in Library", or for "missing songs" etc etc. I have noticed several other threads on this subject, although I have no experience of this issue myself.

I made a book in iPhoto and ordered it in november. it is not showing in my library now. does apple keep a copy of purchased books so I can order another one?

I made a book in iPhoto in november and ordered 2. I would like to order a third but it is not showing in my library anymore. I fear it got inadvertently deleted. Does apple keep a hard copy of books purchased?

Apple keeps files for 40 days for reorders according to a previous web site - give them a try

BTW - Once a year is NOT a backup - I use TM so I have at least one per hour plus do a daily clone for a second one and an occasional offsite one (10 or 12 times a year) for the third one

.m4v movies on external drive not showing in my library?

Some movies held on external drive are not showing in my library. I can open them with iTunes through Finder but they still don't appear in my library. Any ideas why. All my iTunes downloaded movies are there but the .m4v that I have loaded are missing.

Again I do not have iTunes 12 but I recall seeing a picture where movies have their own library section.
I did not fully understand your last post (cosignee?) but if iTunes is playing a file then it is in the library somewhere.
I know with my version of Quicktime Player it shows tag data in a separate information window I can choose to display. You can also use a tag editor such as MetaZ or Subler to edit movie tags.

Music not showing up in library after drag and drop (7.0)

Music will not show up in library after draging and dropping .mp3's into itunes. Also won't show up if I try the File > Add Folder to Library. The processing files box shows up like its going to work, but it just doesn't. I have tried many differnet mp3's, some actually DID import.
Also, double clicking on an mp3 will bring up itunes, but it will not load or play the song.
I currently have 55.5GB of music, and 10,158 songs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Content purchased from iTunes store are downloaded but do not show up in library (iTunes 11) even after manual add

Hi all,
I upgraded to iTunes 11 recently and have now purchased some additional content from the iTunes store. The files have been downloaded but do not show up in my library. A search yields some results but I cannot access the songs in my library nor can I add them to 'up next' although the option is available from the search results menu.
First thing I tried was to add them again manually but the problem persists. Any clues?
Thanks and Best
Frank

OK, I found a solution. Here it goes, just in case anybody else comes across this issue:
I deleted all the relevant entries from the iTunes Libary.xml AND iTunes Music Library.xml files (with iTunes closed, of course) and removed the files on the harddrive library structure to another location. I then restarted iTunes and added the album manually to my library again. In my case, I got iTunes to handle my library and the files were thus copied back to my old structure by the iTunes. To finish I reimported the album artwork and that was that.
Hope that I won't encounter this issue with future purchases under iTunes11, this workaround IS a bit of a hassle!

Combing two large libraries (over 1.25 TB total) and music will not show up in library but does in media folder. Help?

I'm a Windows PC user, and I'm currently in the process of combining my 12,000+ song library on my laptop (we'll call it Library A) with a 180,000+ song library (Library B, and yes, one-hundred-and-eighty thousand) onto a new hard drive. I have successfully moved Library A from my laptop onto my new hard drive. The method I have tried so far to move the Library B music into A on the new hard drive is by using the "Add Folder to Library" and selecting only a small portion of the folders in Library B's media folders as not to overload iTunes and to be able to pinpoint problems.
This worked for a few small iterations but the moment I tried doing half of the "A" artists (alphabetically), most of the music doesn't show up in the library. Some of it doesn't show up in the regular library but in the "Recently Added" playlist, and some don't show up in either. I have even tried adding just single files now and those don't show up at all.
THEY ALL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA FOLDER ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE. That is why I think this might be true but I'm not sure: I've heard that it is because iTunes needs to process all the songs before it shows up in the actual library. Is this true? I have waited over an hour for adding about 6,000 songs; half showed up right in the beginning and half haven't yet. When I added about 4,000 just before this, they all showed up without any problems.
Any help? And is there an easier, error-free way to add this many songs into a new library at once? I'll keep this updated for anyone trying. Thanks in advance!
I have tried signing out and signing in and that does not work either.

hey.
finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

ITunes sees iPod...but songs do not show up in library

Long story short...I gave my son my old iPod mini. When we couldn't connect both it and my new video iPod to our new computer, we took it to his grandmother's house to use. I've downloaded all of the iPod/iTunes updates, and when the iPod mini is connected, it shows up in iTunes and you can listen to the songs...but it wont let us make any changes. The songs do not show up in the "library". We can't burn any songs to disks, we can't move anything around in the playlists....HELP!!!!!!! We've already de-authorized our old computer...so why wont this darn thing work???

The songs that you had on your original computer are saved on that computer, and your iPod. You cannot drag songs off of an iPod and place them into a new library.
You can, however, use your iPod as an external hard drive, and use it to transfer files to a new computer:

Bought a movie and it is not showing up in library

Bought a movie on itunes and does not show up in my library. Is that normal? I was able to watch it on my apple tv
and it does show up on in account. It also shows up in a list of movies "not in your library".

How did you figure it out?

Imported audiobook and iPhone videos not showing in main library.

Today I imported an Audible book I had downloaded by dragging the files onto the "Library" section of iTunes. The progress bar showed that the files were being imported and the book shows up in a smart playlist in the "Playlist" section but not in the "Books" category of the library. I have checked and the files are exactly where they are supposed to be on my hard drive with this author's other books. A similar thing happened when I imported videos from my iPhone. I had downloaded them from my phone onto my desktop and then dragged them onto the library where the progress bar showed they were imported. They are not in the "Movies" library but when I went to sync them onto my iPad2 they show under the "Movies" tab of the iPad and were successfully synchronized onto my iPad2. I tried quiting iTunes and restarting it but this did not cause them to show up. I then restart the whole computer but still no go.
Any suggestions? I am running iTunes 10.6 (40) on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running OSX 10.7.3.
Thanks,
Clayton

Properly tag them in itunes before transferring them over.

ITunes movie purchase - not showing in cloud library on iphone

Hello
Yesterday I redeemed a 25 dollar USD ITunes gift card.
I used it to purchase two movies.
The second movie I purchased (Brick) ended up using a cross between iTunes credit and my credit card.
Anyway, I can see it in my purchase history on my iPhone 4s.
But you know how when you're on wifi it shows your purchases with a cloud icon?
Brick for some reason does not show up. The other movie does but not Brick
Tried rebooting and stuff
(Shows on Apple TV)

Hi WC, well as promised the results . . . . I redownloaded the triology (thanks support) but it made no difference. I still couldn't see The Bourne Identity in my Apple TV library (still all OK in library on my Mac). So ended up with two copies of all three films. So sent an email back to support this was their reply below (just received)
Carole Anne here. I see you are still unable to watch the last movie in the Bundle you purchased. I know how eager you are to watch your movies so I am going to do all I can to be of assistance.
I have reversed the charge for "The Ultimate Bourne Collection". In five to seven business days, a credit of 13.99 GBP should be posted to the credit card that appears on the receipt for that purchase.
I hope this helps, and again, please do not hesitate to reply to this email for further assistance. Have a great day!
So looks like even Apple iTunes support can't work it either. I'm gonna put the re embursment towards buying the four film bundle and hope that it works better. Thanks again for your help WC. BTW whilst wifey watches Pointless I record The Chase . . . . I like it better too.

TS1425 when connected to itunes its not showing my music library on computer

When I connect my ipod to my computer it registers that it is my ipod but doesnt show the music library that is on the ipod. This is not the original computer but I registered the ipod to the new computer,

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Rip CD not showing up in Library and I don't want to sync with devices

I would like to rip CD's to my iTunes Library but I don't want to sync with devices. Ripped CDs are not showing up in the physical folder location I have designated in the Preferences Tab...t's an exyernal drive...Any help would be appreciated...

As you know, you can designate an external drive to be your iTunes Media folder location. However, if you ever start iTunes when the external is disconnected or unavailable, iTunes will revert back to the local drive.

HT1349 Why is my free audio download, that I purchased earlier this year, not showing in my library or my i clouds?

Why is my free audio download, that I purchased earlier this year/late last year, not showing in my itunes library and/or my icloud?

I don't want to change all my computer's visuals just because firefox has a bug in it! The Menu bar is rendered faintly and this is a bad idea. At least give me the choice . . . see image below. I have vista running ffox 4 and none of the fancy settings can fix this. Also I want transparency on! Most programs work properly. They don't force me to adhere to some idiot programers whims, likes or dislikes.
Of course ranting this way will get me nowhere . . . such is life.

HT1351 The DEVICES heading is not showing in my library column...help????

I am unable to sync my ipod with new songs that I have just downloaded because the "DEVICES" heading is NOT showing in the left hand column under the Library (where everything is listed while in itunes).
I have tried to call for help, but I was told I needed to pay a 19.99 fee for the tech support- which is rediculous in my opinion since I paid for the ipod, paid for the songs, paid for the laptop, shouldn't the tech support be included in there for free?
Anyway, my question IS....what happened to the DEVICES heading? How do i get it back? How am I to sync my music?
Thank You for any help that can be offered!

shouldn't the tech support be included in there for free?
It is for 90 days from the date you purchased your iPod, or for two years if you purchased the AppleCare extended coverage for it.
The "Devices" header will only appear if the iPod you're connecting is recognized, which apparently it is not. This may help:

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.
