Deleted songs are still in my iTunes folder
Well, I've seen, when I used OmniDiskSweeper, that my iTunes folder in the Finder is about 1 GB bigger than my iTunes Library. Why is it so?
Are in the folder still songs that I deleted or what is the reason?
Do you guys know, if there is an application to compare the songs in iTunes and the songs in the iTunes Folder in Finder, and show them, so that you can delete the ones that aren't anymore in your library?
Thanks

Could be, or they just could be (former) duplicate files of which you deleted 1.
I don't know of an application, but you might find the script List Folder Files Not Added helpful. The 'readme' tells you how it works.
Hope this helps.

I only have a portion of songs from my itunes library selected to synch to my iphone 5 (35 songs from one artist). They have always been on my phone without issue, even after updating to the ios7. Just last night however, about half of those songs randomly deleted.....now only 15 of those songs are appearing on my iphone. I tried deselecting that artist when synching my phone to itunes to wipe the songs off completely, and then reselecting that artist's songs to synch to my phone, but again only the 15 songs would show up after the synch. Long story short, all 35 songs are still available in my itunes library, yet only 15 of the songs will synch with my phone. I have never had this problem, even after synching new songs from that artist to my phone when synching it with itunes. Dont know if this has something to do with ios7.....if somebody could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!
I forgot to mention that when I look at the playlist that has been tranferred to the iPhone all the ones that won't play and are greyed out have a sync symbol next to the check mark.

I deleted music in the iTunes app but the files are still in the iTunes Media folder
Hi everyone,
I am doing my best to free up some HD space and decided to get rid of some of my music library in iTunes. For the record, my iTunes content is accessed from an external HD. My goal is to move the library back to my Mac's HD instead of the external because I don't want to use the external for anything by backups. (I have to get rid of some content in order for the library to fit on my Mac's smaller HD)
I went into the iTunes app and deleted everything I was no longer interested and managed to get my library down to about 50GBs. I moved the files to the trash and did not choose "keep files". Unfortunately, when I looked at the iTunes Media folder on my external HD, the albums I've deleted in the app are still there. That folder is about 80GBs.
Ultimately, I want what's in my iTunes Media folder to reflect what I've narrowed down in the App's library. Im trying to avoid deleted everything again manually in the media folder on my external as it is a pain.
Any help/suggestions?Exact same problem even though I selected 'move to thrash option'. Maybe it was because I was using screen sharing to another mac on a LAN but can't see how this would make a difference.

After adding itunes match, some of my playlists are disappearing from my iphone 6. The songs are still in the phone, and the playlist is still on my PC. Why are they being deleted?
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

A while back the songs on my itunes (laptop) just disappeared, but the songs are still on my ipod nano. Since this happend I purchased some songs which are now on my itunes/laptop, but NOT on my ipod.
I want to sync my iPod with my itunes account on my laptop (i.e. all songs on ipod are on itunes and vice-versa), however I know someone who attended a simular sync. and the accidently wiped-out all of their songs.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Just upgraded iTunes to version 11.0.2.26...... now have no music or apps..... they are still in the iTunes library on the pc, just not in the iTunes interface.... ideas anyone..?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Note with iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show all your purchases with cloud icons that allow them to be streamed or downloaded from Apple's servers.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If, for some inexplicable reason, the media has been removed from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I need help - songs are still on the ipod but dont show up
my itunes crashed the other day and suddenly all the files on my ipod were gone. now when i connect it, itunes doesnt recognize it anymore, but i can see from the space left info in the finder that the songs are still on there. using ipod viewer, it even loads the songs to a certain point. unfortunately, a message comes up about an error reading the ipod. now my question is, is there any way or program to extract all those files from my ipod or do i really need to restore it?
yes i did. that was actually what i did when i had my ipod connected to the computer and itunes froze which lead to all my stuff getting deleted. so NEVER do this while your ipod is connected to your computer. thanks for your reply.

Delete songs from disk but not itunes
Alll mu music (150G) is in iTunes/iCloud, which is great for my iPhone 5. However, I have a classic iPod (120G) that won't sync unless the music is on my hard drive. So, I started downloading the music onto my hard drive but ran out of space... so I'm wondering how to delete the music from my hard drive but not iTunes so I can reclaim the hard disk space.
You can do what you say you want to do on the face of it, but it doesn't make sense. Yes, you could, if you wished, delete the media files in your iTunes folder that are associated with a particular entry in your library. You would then see a trimmed down version of the entry in the iTunes window and of course a message that the file could not be found ( a ! ). I'm not sure why you would want it this way in your case. The bottom line is, if you want to sync to your device the media files have to be on the computer. If there are files you do not wish to sync you can delete them. You can add them to iTunes again later but they will be put in as new entries so you will have to re-create playlists that contain those entries.

Not all of my perviously purchaced songs are showing up on itunes purchaced link on my account. It show that I have already purchaced them in the itune store, but i have no way of downloading them back into my library.
If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes? They don't show up in the music section when you click on "On this phone". Side Note: I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.
Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
