Enhancement request: Show actual songs downloaded to device in General|About

After switching to iCloud for my iPhone 4S, when I go to Settings|General|About I am shown the number of "available" songs in the cloud rather than the number of songs actually downloaded to the phone. While this is certainly impressive to imagine that I have so many tracks available to me, I really would rather have a clear picture of what is actually on the device. Even if I put the device in Airplane Mode so that it has no access to the cloud, I'm still shown the cloud statistics.
I can plug the device into my Mac and see in iTunes how many songs are on the device, but that is obviously not a convenient way to measure usage. Of course, I can also look into "Usage" on the device and see how much physical memory is being taken up by songs, but I'd still like a way to see how many of each available item are actually ON the device, and not just what I have available to me in the cloud.
Thanks.
Danita

Maybe your "iTunes Music Library.xml" file got corrupted?? Try searching this file for some of the songs in question and see if they're in there at all and if so if there's anything funky about them.
Next step:
Try uninstalling iTunes and verifying that "iTunes Music Library.xml" is REMOVED and then reinstall and drag all your music into it again. I believe this will remove any playlists as well, so you should back them up...not quite sure how to do that.

My old PC broke, it was the only pc my classic was sync with. New PC only shows 1 song (recent purchase) so am worried about syncing to new PC in case I lose the list on my iPod, which is still intacted. How can I transfer my list to new PC?

I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions?

HT1725 My downloads on itunes show the songs downloaded however when you play them that is not the case. The download was not completed unsucessfully. What can I do?

My recently purchased songs indicate the download was completed, however that is not the case. When you try to play the song it does not work. Any ideas to fix the problem?

Hello,
Here's how I got my songs to play correctly:
1) Delete the songs that aren't playing from your iTunes library.
2) Download the songs again from the iTunes Store for
free. For information about downloading past purchases, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

I bought a few songs the other day, and only half of most of the songs downloaded. Like as in all of the songs downloaded but only go to about 1:30 then stop playing. Is there any way to fix this?

It was around like 16ish 3-4 minute long songs that only played up to 1 minute 30 seconds. If this can't be fixed, is there a way i could at least get a refund?

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Please let me know how things are going.

TS1424 I downloaded an album, but most of the songs are incomplete. The itunes list shows the appropriate song length, but the actual songs are not completely downloaded - meaning it does not give me the option of finishing the download.

I purchased a complete album, but most songs are only about a minute in duration rather than their actual lengths. The times showing indicate the full song was downloaded, but in reality, its like listening to a sample. I want to get entire songs, but the itunes list shows it as downloaded, so it does not seem to give me the option to download again. I sure would like to get what I paid for. Any suggestions?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song.

I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song. All the songs play on my iPad and MacBook. It seems like my iPhone will not let me download the rest of the songs, and I have 3.5 GB of remaining space. Help!

You're welcome. I've never set up an alias but according to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622,
"The text you provide becomes the email address ([email protected]). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters."
This certainly implies that the alias is not required to be your registered name, and only becomes the prefix for a new @me.com address. There might be something going on with the servers right now as they are probably very focused on getting ready for the iPhone 5 pre-order release, which is supposed to happen any minute now. You might have better luck if you waited a while.

I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?

Red square in red circle cannot play songs
My iPod isn't playing certain songs. Help?

I have songs from icloud showing on more than one device but only want them on one so how do i delete them

Can some tell me how i can not have the songs showing on more than one device for my account

it wont let you swipe to the left on songs that have the cloud next to them
That's correct - it only deletes them from your phone, not from iCloud
If you go into Settings, Music and set Show All Music to Off, you will only see the songs that are actually on the phone.
One other tip - once you've deleted the songs/lists you no longer want, restart the phone (hold the Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears) to make sure the songs are gone.

If they are iTunes purchased music then go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Show All.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Every time I try to download something(song or app) it shows it's downloading but it never does. What can I do?

You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
No data is lost due to a reset.

Hi ozzie329,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you transfer your iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the computer first.
Then in your iTunes library on the computer, find and remove the duplicates.
Then resync to your Nike.
Here are a few articles to help you do this ...
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

HT203167 I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/

I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/ when i go to iTunes>Purchased it says that the songs have already been downloaded, which means i cant re-download them. is there a way I can re-download my previous purchased songs?

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

How do I get the music icon to show up on the home page? in the settings icon it shows I have all my songs downloaded.

How do I get the music icon to show up on the home page of the touch? Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded.

- Move the Music app icon to the home page. It is usually easer to do it on the computer than on the iPod itself. The manual says how to move the apps.
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)
- I do not undersand what: "Under the settings icon it shows the songs are downloaded." means.

The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.
