Finder window doesn't see new music in iTunes

Now when I add new albums to iTunes, the Finder window simply does not see them; they do not appear in any of the lists under 'Music', 'iTunes' etc; they are invisible. Which is really annoying because it means I have no way of copying the music onto my tablet or my phone, as I can only copy things to my other devices using Android File Transfer.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the Finder is no longer able to see music added to iTunes?

Where they end up will depend on your settings under iTunes > Preferences > Advanced.
You can select any track in iTunes, option-click on it and then click Show in Finder to see where it is.

New iTunes doesn't see all music in iTunes folder

I recently upgraded to iTunes 9.1.1.12. Since the upgrade, I notice that it only shows a portion of the files in the iTunes folder.
I can see them when I open the folder in Windows Explorer.
I haven't/don't receive an error message.
How can I correct this?

From Germany with not perfect English:
I had similar problem. Files that were not transferred had either no file-ending (.tif and .jpg-files without these endings are not synct) or a wrong ending (.pdf for example).
And the Apple-Hotline told me, a next iPod-software-update would allow a better sorting photos on the iPod. (Actually you can not use folders in folders, and all Photoes are sorted by date; a little help may be a count-number at the beginning of the file-name: 01.... 02.... 03... This helps, however it is not a good work for so many photos as you have.)

Can't see new music in iphone

I recently upgraded my iphone to ios 6.0 sicne then I cannot see new music to load from my PC to my iphone 4. The music is in the cloud and plays on my PC but not my iphone.

Thanks, I am using Match and on my PC it shows that the songs in question are matched. Before loading ios6.0 I copied music to my phone with no problem. The old music I copied before is still there but I cannot see or add the new music even if I plug in and sync with my PC.

IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. This is timely and aggravating. Any other solution?
I have also tried a hard reset. I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music".
Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

Successful experience with Apple Care.
If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg ( * this may or may not be there * )
4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.

The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library. I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.

Please advise where this is in the new version?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

Syncing just new music from iTunes

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have just bought a 160GB iPod Classic and I plan to use it to clear alot of space on my laptops hard drive. This means that I cant sync automatically as it will wipe my iPod when I start deleting stuff on my laptop. However, I don't want to manually put all the new music that I add to iTunes so my question is: Can I sync my iPod so that it just adds new music in iTunes and will not delete anything on my iPod at the same time.
Im sure I've made that question more confusing than it should be....
Thanks.

If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
Don't delete anything until you have changed the update option. If by any chance you do however you can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are connected the settings can be changed: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.

PLEASE HELP!
I AM SO AGITATED RIGHT NOW?
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Any music that is not in your own iTunes library will be erased from the iPod when you connect and sync.
That appears to be the case here.
"a friend gave it to me with music already downloaded."
The iPod is not designed to share music this way.

When watching a slideshow I could always access music from my iTunes folder. Suddenly today I can only hear music under the 'theme' tab. I can see my music in iTunes but when I double click on it nothing happens!

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
