Help! iTunes only shows music...

I have no idea what is going on...it seems to only sync my music & apps.  I don't know if something's wrong w/my iTunes or what....(I know nothing about iTunes)

I think I just solved this! I, too, was having the same issue.
Try this:
In itunes V11.1.5, there is a small line of choices across the top of the interface window that begins with, "Radio • Songs • Albums, etc.
Click on "songs."
Now, go to the iTunes menu > View, and select "Show sidebar."
Bingo! There is your Library; the list we've all grown so accustomed to, including ALL of our songs (not just purchased) and playlists.
I hope this is what you were asking, and that I have explained it well, becasue I'm very excited to have just found this solution. Best of luck.

  • HELP iTunes only shows 500 of my 2500 song collection

    I have both a windows and just bought a g5. Burned all my music from my win and drag and droped the music files into itunes music file. Itunes only processed, shows 500 of my songs. I've tried to play the other songs that are not in the library, add them to the library, everything, and nothing is happening. Only processing the songs that are already in the library. I also made all files into read/only mode as well, didnt changed anything.
    This is a huge issue with me, and may be a reason to rid myself of a all apple products.. so help is greatly appreciated.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • My iTunes is only showing music in the cloud.

    This just started happening last night. All of a sudden, all of my playlists are gone and iTunes is only showing music from the cloud. All of my music is on my local computer but it doesn't appear in iTunes. I've turned off the cloud functionality and then no music is displayed at all.  Because of this issue, my phone's music is no longer syncing to iTunes since I use a play list to sync. Same issue with my movies and apps. The entire library in iTunes has been replaced by the cloud. iTunes Match and Genius are turned off. They were never turned on.

    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.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    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.
    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!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT1491 My iTunes only show: iTunes U and category , no music and books and other stuffs.

    My iTunes only show: iTunes U and category , no music and books and other stuffs. Is it because of my Chinese ID?

    You can only purchase content from the store where your credit card is registered - and that credit card must be registered to a valid address in that country. I am afraid that you are restricted in what you can legally purchase from Apple.
    Sometimes the restiction of content has to do with licensing rights and sometimes governments will restrict the content that Apple is allowed to sell in their countries.

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • "Recently Updated" on iPod Touch Only Shows Music, not Podcasts

    I have a 'Recently Updated' smart Playlist in iTunes, set for 'Added in the Last Week' and 'Live Update'. The iTunes 'Recently Added' shows music, podcasts and movies, but when sync'ed, the iPod Touch (3rd Gen, 32GB) 'Recently Added' only shows music.
    Tried setting 'Media Type' to 'Podcasts' and 'Music' but it results in an empty playlist...
    Any ideas?
    TIA,

    There are some known quirks with how smart playlists sync to the Touch. In theory the contents (and sort order) should match when you compare the playlist on the Touch vs. your iTunes library, but that's not the case due to a bug in the 3.1.x OS on your Touch.
    As a workaround you can try un-checking the Live Updating option, but then that not only disables Live Updating on the Touch it also disables it in iTunes, so you'd have to re-check this option and then un-check it again each time you re-sync.
    Another possibility is to define a mixed-logic smart playlist:
    Date Added Is In The Last Week
    AND
    (Media Kind is Music) OR (Media Kind is Podcast)
    You can do this as follows:
    1- Enter your Date Added criteria
    2- Click on the (...) to "indent" the next criteria.
    3- Add the criteria "Media Kind Is Music"
    4- Click the "+" button to the right of this criteria, then add "Media Kind Is Poscast"
    5- Set the top match rule to "All" and set the 2nd match rule (after your Date Added criteria) to "Any".

  • ITunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars

    My iTunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars. How do I get it and iCal resynced?

    That was useful help. I thought iSync was cremated 2 years ago with the advent of Tiger and was only used to sync phones and pdas. Further, I have searched 'elsewhere' and have not found any other solutions.

  • ITunes only shows my last 10 podcasts

    I've been submitting Podcasts to my Cabaret Secrets feed for about a year now but iTunes only shows my last 10 Podcasts. The others don't seem to be there anymore. Any ideas?

    iTunes does not limit the number of episodes shown until you get to 300. If you examine the feed you will probably find that there are only the ten episodes in it. Many podcast creation programs and services limit the number of episodes show in the feed, moving older ones to an archive page and out of the feed once the limit is reached. There is usually a setting to increase this number.
    Please always post the URLs of your iTunes Store page and feed; without them one can make only the most general comments.

  • New iTunes only shows Purchased Music. Help!

    Wow, I cannot believe how inconvenient the new iTunes has been. Hoping someone can help.
    This is what I was used to and loved on my iMac:
    1. List view: All Playlists on left column, with "Library" on top, then "Purchased", Genius, TV, and so on; and ALL my music (songs) in the right side of main window.
    2. I just click or choose "New Playlist" and a new one would show up in the left column with the rest of my playlists so I could see them all at the same time.
    3. I just click and drag any song I want from the right side to whatever playlist (old or new) and the song would be added.
    Simple, easy and quick.
    NOW with the new, "improved" version:
    1. List view is fine (playlists on left, songs on right) but it takes a couple clicks to get to it--not my default view (default is annoying and illogical album cover view).
    2. On the list on the left side (under "Playlists"), "Purchased" is at top--NO choice for my entire music library! So if I click on "Purchased", it only shows me purchased music, which is only a third of my library.
    3. In order to add a playlist, there is no choice on the pulldown menu from the top. I have  to click the icon at the bottom left of the window for a pull down and select "New Playlist"--HOWEVER, the entire window suddenly shifts!! The new Playlist is now for some reason on the RIGHT side, and only *then* is my music library listed in the main window, which has shifted to the left. But in this view I can no longer see all my other playlists! Extremely confusing, illogical, unintuitive and completely unnecessary.
    4. Strangely, when in "regular" Playlist mode (where all my Playlists are listed in the narrow left window and my Purchased music is on the right main one), I can still click and drag songs, but only to add to my OLD playlists.
    Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get back to the easy way? Where my "Library" is listed in the left "Playlists" window and ALL my songs are listed on the right?
    And is there ANY way to to add a new playlist to the main Playlist list on the left column without having to switch to the next window?
    Any help is most appreciated.  Thanks much!

    I think I just solved this! I, too, was having the same issue.

  • Itunes only showing my first Podcast episode

    I added my podcast feed and after approval only one episode showed up. I have now done two more episodes over the last two weeks and they don't appear in Itunes. Anyone know why?
    Thanks in advance!

    As you upload new episodes, you have to make sure that the XML file for your RSS feed is being updated (you have to do this manually unless you have software that automates it.) and add a new '<item>' section for each new episode. Episodes are listed in date order (based on your pubDate tags).
    ALSO... iTunes only scans your URL once per day. Your new episodes may not appear in the iTunes store page for as much as a day -- although I think they'll show up for users who have subscribed to your podcast almost immediately (because once someone subscribes they don't actually need the iTunes store anymore to find your podcast or new episodes.)
    In the tech help for podcasters, Apple does describe how to craft a 'PING' URL which you can use to force iTunes to attempt to see if your feed has updated (without waiting for the daily update that they normally do).

  • ITunes only shows 10 episodes posted at a time

    Hello...I am trying to figure out why iTunes only publishes 10 episodes of my podcast at a time.  I just posted episode 17 of The Seamus & Opie Show and everytime I post a new episode the oldest one drops off.  How do I keep ALL the posts listed at the same time?  Please help.

    Please always post the URLs of the Store and your feed when you have a query - how do you expect to get an answer if I can't look at the feed?
    Searching on the title you give brings up a podcast at
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-seamus-opie-show/id500495929
    using a feed at
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheSeamusOpieShow
    Is this the correct podcast? All 17 episodes show, both in the Store page and when subscribing.

    If you are sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID you purchased those additional songs with and are following the steps in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519, you should contact iTunes Store support about the missing content:  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Itunes only showing most recent podcast

    Apologies is this hasn't been asked before.
    I use Libsyn to host my 'FIFA 08' podcast. It hosts it fine and works through iTunes but it only shows the most recent podcast; ignoring all the previously posted ones.
    I spoke to the tech guys at libsyn and they said everything was setup correctly on their end and suggested it was an iTunes issue.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    thanks

    I'm seeing 5 episodes listed on your page in the iTunes Store, and 6 episodes (the latest being today's) when I subscribe. No doubt this 6th episode will appear in the iTunes Store too when it next crawls your feed.
    So maybe the problem you're seeing is with your install of iTunes? Have you tried looking at the iTunes Store from a different computer?
