Help...cant find my music

I love(d) my ipod and everything was going really well until my little girl got a new computer for Christmas. Tonight she has tried to download somthing from her new machine on to my ipod and now I can only access the new stuff she has downloaded (and not my huge library from the original machine). When I plug it back into the original machine it just updates what she has downloaded and the ipod still does not show any of my library. I am absolutely gutted!
The music is still on my original machine...why does it not show on the ipod. It seems what she has done has overidden it.
Can somebody please help..I am lost without it but I am a complete ICT novice. Simple instructions please!!!

It would help if you said exactly what steps you took to get your music from your old computer to your new one. Also where your music was located i.e. was it all in the iTunes Music folder or was it in other folders in My Music - this tends happen if you saved music outside iTunes.
The exclamation marks mean that iTunes can't find the tracks.
Note that one thing that can go wrong is that your account name is not exactly the same as it was on the old computer.
The default loction for iTunes music files is:
c:\Documents and Settings\<youracountname>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
You can see that the accountname is part of the location.

I used to use Genius to help me find new music to purchase. Is this feature still available?

I used to use Genius to help me find new music to purchase and found the feature to be very helpful. Is this feature still available?

In iTunes 12, make sure that the menu bar is showing, click on Store, and click on Turn On Genius.
NOTE: You may have to explore a little, because this applies for the OS X version of iTunes.

HELP ME FIND MY MUSIC

I had another computer crash. I have all my music on an external hard drive after the last crash. I got a new hard drive and installed itunes on it. Set the path for the external drive and nothing. Can someone help me find my music. I know it is there, I see it in the windows folder. itunes just doesn't see it.

Hi, mdw9901.
iTunes has to be specifically told that the music is on the external drive. Have a look at the Add to Library section of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for details on how to do so.

I cant find my music,that i already payed for.

I cant find my music that i already payed for.

Front Row cant find my music

Hi,
Im pretty new when it comes to Mac. Ive added all my music and downloaded some from IStore, but Front Row says that it cant find the music and that I need to either import it or buy it from Istore. But Ive done this and still it doesnt work.
what can I do?

I too have found this. My sharing was already on. However, my issue relates to Audiobooks specifically. I get them from Audible.co.uk. I have a specific library for audiobooks and keep music in the standard iTunes folder and use the Alt key to choose the library when starting.
In the audiobooks library I have set up playlists for different genres. This works in iTunes and on the iPod I use for the books, but not in Frontrow. In FR all my non protected books appear but the protected do not unless I go to the specific Audiobooks folder. They all appear and work fine, but that means I have to know who wrote the book in order to find the book I want. In a substantial library this is long winded. It would be better if I could just choose a custom playlist.
Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance....

I cant find the music

i put the music on my ipod but when i look for it i cant find it i can plug it into my computer and it will play off of that and when i look at the folder it shows it in there but when i unplug my ipod and attempt to listen to the music i cant find it on my ipod

1. Capitals and punctuation do have a use.
2. What do you mean "I look at the folder it shows it in there"? What folder? Where?

I hope this helps!

It's possible you backed up your iPhone to iCloud.com but you can't view your pictures there and you can only "restore" your backup files via the iPhone that made it.

Please Help me Find my music! Thank you!

Hi, I delelted voice memos off of my iphone 4 while it was plugged into my Mac OS X. My phone was connected to i-tunes at the time. I thought I saw the voice memos in my Mac itunes library, so I proceeded to delete the voice memo's off of my phone. Now, when I look in my itunes those specific voice memos are no where to be found? Not on my Computer nor on my phone?
Can anyone help me find where the voice memo's went, they are very important!
Thank you for your time!
ALenny

When you manually manage your iPod, you decide what songs to add and delete. You can make playlists for the songs you want to add and pull them on top of your iPod--or you can just pull songs on top of your iPod.
When your iPod is plugged into your computer, you'll see it show up in the left column as "Liz's iPod". You can just pull these playlists/songs right on top of "Liz's iPod" and the updating process will start.
To delete songs you no longer want on your iPod, click on "Liz's iPod" and when the window opens there will be two tabs--one will let you manage your iPod (restore, update software, etc.) the other will list the contents of your iPod. You can delete things using the contents window.
Finally, to release your iPod from your computer, make sure the updating process is complete. You'll get a message that it's safe to remove your iPod in the center grey box at the top of iTunes (where you see the apple). Then just hit the eject button triangular symbol next to "Liz's iPod" or in the bottom right corner of the screen. When "Liz's iPod" disappears from the left column of iTunes, you can unplug it from your machine.
