HT1414 What do I do if my music isn't showing?

When I go into my liberary of music on my iPod all of the music appears grey and won't let me play it!

first of all make sure whatever songs you have on your ipod are also present in itunes library
and are you facing this problem with all the songs on your device or just a few songs
if the issue is only with few songs then those songs are not in mp3 format
just convert them using a mp3 converter, or just right click on that song in itunes library and click create AAC version then just wait for itunes to convert that song, then just SYNC and that should solve your problem

  • I click on one song and another one starts playing.  Cover art for one artist shows up on another album.  All of my music isn't showing up.  Please help.  Why is this happening?  How can I fix it?

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

  • HT201272 Puchased music isn't showing up on my new iPhone 5

    After purchasing the new iPhone, the gentlemen at the store began the set up and restore process for me. My apps started to download and he told me I could interrupt the download process and continue at home. Once I got home and connected to wi-fi it asked if I wanted to continue downloading. I was checking out the phone so I clicked "Later" after which all my music still appeared in gray. When I connected to the wi-fi this morning at work to finish the download, no music was there. I was able to recover my apps from the purchased section of the app store. But my music doesn't appear in the purchased section of the itunes store. I am using the same apple ID as before and all my music was purchased through itunes.

    Click here and pick the option which best fits your situation.

  • TS1702 2 of my apps won't update and my music isn't showing. Help?

    Mysmurfs village and logo game won't update. I have tried re-syncing my iPad and everything but won't work. Also when I plug it into the laptop it says I have 392 songs on it yet when I goin to music on my iPad there is nothing there. Can someone help?

    Try resetting the iPad: Simultaneoisly hold down the On and Home buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignor the off slider if it should appear. This should take around ten seconds, give or take. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button.

  • What do I do if my installer isn't showing all the packages I have paid for?

    My account page shows the full CS suite of packages, but the installer is missing Premiere and After Effects, meaning I can't download them.
    I am trying to phone Adobe, but have been on hold for 30 minutes so far.

    Video apps in the Cloud suite (such as Premiere Pro and After Effects) are 64 bit only and will only run on 64 bit processors and 64 bit operating systems.
    If your computer is running a 32 bit operating system (e.g. Win 7 32 bit) then you will not able to download those apps since they will not run on your computer.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html#desktop-products
    Which desktop applications in Creative Cloud require 64-bit operating systems?
    With the new CC apps, most of the pro video and audio applications now require 64-bit operating systems to run. These native 64-bit applications include Adobe Premiere® Pro CC, Adobe Audition® CC, After Effects® CC, Prelude® CC, and SpeedGrade® CC. Flash Professional CC, Photoshop CC and Lightroom® also require 64-bit on Mac OS.

  • I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members.  What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

    I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family.  What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
    I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
    Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

  • What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    Hi jackwyatt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to connect your MacBook Pro to a projector to output the display and sound, the cables and adapters you need will vary depending on the specific model MacBook Pro that you have.
    I recommend this page for getting a good idea of which adapters you might need:
    About Apple video adapters and cables
    Additionally, the tips in this article can also apply to using a projector as a display:

    All the best,

  • Ok, what can I do with downloaded music and burn to cd's

    Two questions, when you download a song, you can only burn it to a cd 7 times? Or is that a playlist of more than one song?
    What happens if I download my music, burn it to a cd, then something happens to my mac and I have to wipe the HD and start from scratch. Will itunes realize when I reload my music that it is mine?

    when you download a song, you can only burn it to a cd 7 times?
    This only applies to songs with DRM. Any songs you purchase now do not have DRM.
    And this only applies to a specific playlist with a song containing DRM.
    You could put that song in a new playlist and burn it 7 more times.
    What happens if I download my music, burn it to a cd, then something happens to my mac and I have to wipe the HD and start from scratch.
    1 - You have it on the burned CD
    2 - You have it on the backup of your importatnt files you want to keep
    3 - 17 years of Mac owning I have never had to "wipe the HD and start from scratch". It's not something you do on a regular basis. Some Windows users do it for many problems and some do it regularly just to keep things running smoothly. ???
    Will itunes realize when I reload my music that it is mine?
    No. You only get one download.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
