HT1473 How come the rest of my songs don't show up in itunes on my new macbook air

I just bought a macbook AirI It is only down loading my songs that I purchased on itunes How come it won't down load the songs that I down loaded from my cd's on my vaio computer?

Hi Liz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps to try if your Mac isn't recognizing your iPhone 5s:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

If that does not help you may also want to try a quick reset of SMC to see if that helps:

  • Can't delete music on phone and the songs don't show up in iTunes

    I've had this problem before and found no solution, so this time I'm going to ask and see if someone else has the same issue. It's not any of the usual problems, so I ended up restoring my phone to an earlier point and it worked, but I don't want to have to do it again.
    Okay so the problem I have is there is music in my music app on my phone that doesn't show up in iTunes in the "on my device" section.  I listened to music on my phone that I had streamed from the cloud, when you do the "show all music" thing and can play all of your purchased songs.  Then when I turn off "show all music" there are random songs that I had streamed but didn't download.  I can't swipe left to delete them on my phone, and they don't show up in iTunes as even being on my phone.  I can't find a way to erase them.  I think they are stored in the "other" section of phone storage because now "other" is larger than it was.
    The last time this happened I had to restore my iPhone to a point before this problem occurred and I lost my messages and new contacts and what not.  I have a feeling this is not a user fixable problem, but a problem on apple's end.  If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    Thanks

    You're welcome. If that method isn't quick enough you can always delete the whole conversation.

  • IPod Songs Don't Show Up in iTunes After iTunes 6.0.2 "Upgrade"

    After installing iLife '06, and the iTunes 6.0.2 "upgrade" that came with it, the contents of my 4th Gen. 40 Gb iPod don't show up in iTunes. The iPod mounts on the Desktop OK, and even shows up in the Source list in iTunes 6.0.2. And I can unmount the iPod by clicking on the little up arrow icon in iTunes. But iTunes reports only 919.2 Mb used and 36.33 Gb free in the iPod.
    I tried copying a song from my iTunes Library to the iPod, and it showed up in iTunes. But when I unmounted, then remounted, the iPod, it no longer showed in iTunes. It was on the iPod, however.
    I tried upgrading to the latest iPod software (iPod Updater 2006-01-10) but that didn't help.
    I ran Software Update and it didn't find any software that needed updating.
    I repaired disk permissions and Shutdown, then powered back up and restarted. Nada.
    The iPod mounts fine on my G4 AlBook running iTunes 4.9, and the contents of the iPod are also visible in iTunes 4.9, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem on the iPod.
    Don't know if it matters, but all of the music on my Mac and on the iPod was ripped by iTunes from CDs (that I own).
    Anybody else seeing this?
    Is there a fix?
    TIA,

    This might be a quick and dirty method.
    We're trying to force iTunes to rebuild properly.
    With iTunes not running. Make a copy of the library database file (iTunes Library).
    Try deleting the iTunes Library file. Start iTunes. Does this then show the missing tracks? To get the original playlists back you can import from the original xml file that you saved.
    If you need to get back to the start point just delete the newly created database and .xml files and go back to the originals.

  • How come the ipod  on my phone doesn't show the songs I loaded onto it?

    Just got the iphone 4, loaded some apps, synched it up to my computer and loaded a couple of movies on as well, just for fun. When I open ipod on my phone, there's nothing there. It suggests I go to itunes to find songs. I plugged the phone back into my computer, and there was all the music I loaded, showing that it is on the phone and is using up memory space. How come I can't listen to it? Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello....
    Connect your iPhone to your PC. Launch iTunes. Select your iPhone under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Then select Music from the menu.
    Make sure *Sync Music* is selected then click Sync tab bottom right side of the iTunes window.
    If that doesn't help, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT1373 Why can't I transfer all the songs from iPad into iTune on my new Macbook Air?

    I've recently purchased the new Mackbook Air 2013 model , OSX MT 10.8.4 , iTunes 11.0.5
    And here's my problem, I connected my iPad to iTunes and thought all the songs
    would be transfered automatically to iTunes library, but appearantly only haf of them did with iCloud icons next to the song's name.
    Another thing that I noticed is that all the songs in the library are the ones I purchased on iPhone quite a while ago (I share iTunes account on both devices)
    but for those recently I purchased on iPad are just not there.
    So I'd like to ask you guys how to figure out this problem.
    Many thanks.

    It works, thank you so much

  • Songs don't show up in iTunes ... but iTunes still thinks they're there ...

    I've lost songs. They don't show up in a search, they don't show up when I scroll through all my songs, and they don't show up in the browser, but when I try to import them from the original CDs, iTunes asks me if I want to replace the files. And they're in my iTunes file directory (I keep it organized). So, they're where they're supposed to be. I've tried to add them to the library, and they remain invisible. It's the oddest thing.
    Does anyone else have experience with this? What would you suggest?
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Songs don't show up from iTunes Apple ID

    Hello. I just got a new computer for my room and my computer broke but right before that I got a new Apple ID, so i downloaded some songs( like $20 worth) then my computer crashed. So now my old computer downstairs( i am currently on) is working and i can't find how to get my songs onto iTUNES. HELP ME!!!!!!

    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    However if you have an iPod and the songs are on it, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Songs don't show up on iTunes

    When I synced my nano to my macbook, it showed up that there weren't any songs at all though my playlists were intact. I also checked how much memory was left, and my 16gb nano was pretty much full. I thought it was just being difficult, so I restored my nano to factory settings, but when I tried to re-update my nano (with some in specific playlists, and some songs just added) it still showed up with NOTHING in my music list. I added around 2gb of music so far. When it's not connected to the computer, it seems to show the music just fine. However, if I were to remove and add music, I need to be able to see my comprehensive music list!
    I have an iPhone with the latest software, and it doesn't seem to be having the same problem. I noticed when I synced it, it was a little slow in updating some apps (I deleted some and added some), but found there were no faults when I toyed around with it.
    I run with my iPod, so does anyone have suggestions?
    Thanks so much!

    Are you selecting the playlist like this
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • How come the repair cost of a MacBook Pro cost more than a brand new unit?

    My nephew bought her Mac Book Pro last June 2012. During the time that floods hit metro manila where she is studying, her Mac Book Pro (13in) happend to have been damped wet by water. Still running but it seems the batter got problem.  So she brought her unit to SM North Edsa ( Annex) Mac Center for possible repair.  The Mac Center told my nephew that the unit will be brought somewhere  in Mandaluyong - Apple Service Center.   After a few days she received a message from the Mac Center telling her that the repair cost will be a whooping P88,000.00  almost twice the cost of her unit when she bought it. My sister ( my nephew's mother) was fuming asking me how come the cost of repair is so great, it is better to buy a new one.
    Is this really true?  I wonder what others may have experienced bringing their unit for repair and finding out that the cost of repair is such... APPLE IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS...  IS THIS THE KIND OF AFTER SALES SERVICE THAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU... PLEASE explain it to me.. thanks

    And mind you dear APPLE believers, this also happens to my BOSS' Mac Book Air, which was brought also to an Apple Center for repair due to White Screen of Death... The repair center told my boss that the repair would cost him P68,000 pesos... the new Mac Book Air is only P47,990.00.   Who in his right mind agree to such a repair cost which costs more than a brand new unit...  If this is so... then APPLE is not a good brand after all...  Anyone who had the same story?
    BTW  i tried to revive the unit by following some repair tips from the internet... and I was able to revive it without spending a dime.... I am not a technician... just wondering what kind of SKILLS those technicians at the Apple Repair Centers have in the Philippines...

  • How to sync on new MacBook Air with 'dead' Windows notebook?

    Hi dear all,
    I’m in need of some good advice and assistance on the following.
    Basically I just switched over to a MacBook Air from an IBM Thinkpad as it went ‘dead’.
    My iPad and iPhone are sync via iTunes on the Thinkpad. Now I have a challenge, I understand if I just sync with iTunes on my new MacBook Air, it may just wipe out everything on my iPad and iPhone.
    May I know are there any ways I can keep everything in my current iPad and iPhone and still able to create and sync with iTunes on my new MacBook Air e.g. in future still can add files, perform sync etc. I don’t wish to lose all the current files and contents in my iPad and iPhone.
    Thanks.

    Hi ..
    As long as you are using the same Apple ID used on iTunes on the PC, you won't lose any content.
    You will need to authorize the new MB Air.
    Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click Store > Authorize this Computer

    Hi m.cohen1220,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If it is consistently selecting something away from the location of your tap, especially if it's happening in multiple apps, you may have an issue with the display response.
