Discrepancy Between iTunes and My Music Folder

Didn't really know how to word this but at the bottom of my iTunes it says I have 10,345 songs and it's 45.58 GB
but when I click on the properties of the folder where my library is, it says I have 10,829 files and it's 46.25 GB
where's the discrepancy coming from?

Itunes is only showing you the amount of songs/videos ect. Your music folder has other files like downloaded album art files.

  • A 70GB discrepancy between iTunes and the actual folder...

    iTunes is telling me I have 70GB less than what my actual folder is displaying for size. I just dragged my whole music folder into iTunes to see if it would add any missing albums that were just floating around in the folder, and I only found one doing this way. There is no way I have 70GB worth of album art... plus isn't the art stored in an iTunes specific folder in your User folder?
    I'm just so confused, and i either a) want to clear up this mysterious 70GB from the folder or b) add a missing 70GB worth of music back into itunes.
    thanks,
    greg

    try this app:
    _*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
    This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

  • Missing link between Itunes and Music Loaded from CDs

    Somehow itunes no longer recognizes the link between itunes and music loaded from my Cds (error message in itunes indicates original file could not be found). I can establish this link manually one by one and the songs play but how can I establish this link other than manually one by one in itunes ?

        Hi again!
         I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
         I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
         In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
         'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • Link between iTunes and Library lost. Hard drive failure

    Hi!
       I need help with the following problem. (i7 27" iMac/256GB SSD + 1TB of internal disk hard drive. (SATA/7200rpm/3.5"))
              The 1TB internal hard drive on my iMac failed the S.M.A.R.T. Utilities test so Apple called in the computer and I had to have the hard drive replaced. The technicians reloaded the system from a 1TB external Western Digital hard drive; I had backed up the everything on it using Time Machine.
              Unfortunately, the iTunes application cannot now locate my iTunes library. I create a lot of slideshows on Aperture and use music from iTunes on the audio tracks. The titles on the audio tracks are now inaudible and are preceded by a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. Can anyone help me on how I should re-establish the original link between iTunes and its library. The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (declangreaney) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.
              In trying to solve the problem, I went through the folders and double clicked on one song. This opened iTunes so I highlighted and dragged all the other 'artist-named' folders on the iTunes interface and in doing so, I succeeded in accessing all the files. This is not wholly satisfactory, however, as I do not have my own playlists and more seriously, there is still no link between the Aperture audio tracks.
      Sincerely,
         DG.

  • Since downloading spotify trial (one month), i seem to have lost itunes and my music from my dock. how do i bring my music back

    Since downloading Spotify app (trial for 1 month), i seem to have lost itunes from my dock, including my music. How do i bring it & all my music back. the last time i saved it to my hard drive was 3 months ago.

    If you start iTunes from Launchpad or Applications. It will Show the icon on the desktop. Right mouse click select Options and Keep in Dock.
    When you say your music has dissapeared is it removed from your hard drive?
    username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music is the path to my music on the local hard drive?
    If it is missing from itunes then redrag the Music folder back into iTunes and your music should reappear.
    Or did you mean something else?

  • Difference between Itunes and Hard drive ..?

    Hi
    I'm using Itunes 9 and my music (aiff) is on an external hard drive
    I can see 290 GO on the bottom of the Itunes windows and my music folder on the hard drive says 320 GO ! why this difference ? ( I rebuilt the libraries recently)
    It is the same with an other new session for the mp3 placed on the internal hard drive. Always a difference..
    Any idea ?
    Thanks
    Christophe

    No just music. and I rebuilt recently the libraries...
    And it the same with a new mp3 itunes I created on an other account..

  • Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

    Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.  I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated. 
    I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer.  It worked a couple of weeks ago.  Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8  and iOS 7.0.4.  I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off. 
    I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again.  Any suggestions?

    So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
    The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
    Regards.

  • After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

    After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
    Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
    Thanks in advance
    Dingoh

    The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
    So, are you on version 9.2.1?
    Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
    iTunes 9.2.1 download...

  • HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

    My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

    In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

  • I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on.  Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5.  I need to free up space on my iPhone.  If I delete the music on my phone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?

    The same is true for photo's.  I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space.  Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...

    This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
    Backup the device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.
