HT1473 Problem importing music; music imported not showing in library

ITunes is really becoming a pain in the ***. I'm really ****** right now. Three days ago my new album purchase could not be located after it downloaded. I had to spend more time trying to make it work. Cd imported today does not show in library.

Thanks. I've installed the back up disc, but itunes doesn't ask me if I want to restore. Even though itunes is my default player, a screen appears asking If want to play using real player, or media player, or do nothing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Music will not show in library when imported from file

To whom ever can assist me:
Firstly, thanks for looking this over.
I am attempting to import music files that I have already saved on my PC via Real Player (I saved the music from my music CDs, using Real Player as my default media player). These files are saved on my C: Drive, under "My Music", and saved in folders under each artist.
Now, as I go into the iTunes icon, go into "File", and attempt to "Add file to Library", the songs are not being saved to my iTunes library. It allows me to find the song and double click on it, assuming I am opening it into the library, but it does not show.
I have gone through a few forum questions to see if I could find the answer on my own, and understand that because my music is saved w/a Real Player icon, that I may have to convert it. But I am completely lost as to how to do this, and w/out having to resave the songs say, like on CD, then resaving on iTunes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

If you've saved the songs as Real Player format then unfortunately iTunes will not copy those songs into the library. Because the extension is ".rm" which iTunes doesn't recongize.
If the songs are saved with a .mp3 file then they should copy just fine.
Hope that helps a little.

Albums not showing in library after import

Just install iTunes 10.4.1.10 on Win XP (have same issue on Win 7) it auto added my music folder but its all messed up due to filenames etc so I deleted everything from library with the intention of manually importing everything. Albums are not showing in library after going File -> Add Folder to Library...
Any ideas?

Note that Pause and Resume can be found in the right-click context menu of an item (toolbar drop-down list).
Do you have the .part file or only the (final) file with a byte count of 0 bytes?
If the .part file and doesn't have the expected file size (2 GB) is missing then you won't be able to resume this download anyway. You can check the temp folder as well.

I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

ITunes Store music tab not showing up

iTunes Store music tab not showing up

FollowUp - Problem Solved.
Just in case anyone else was experiencing the same issues, I pinpointed it down to a corrupted iTunes preference file - com.apple.iTunes.plist.
I created a new user account, lauched iTunes and it worked fine, no black drop down window appearing, so I went back into my account and deleted this and relaunched iTunes and the drop down window showed all the search results again, not the black window as seen in my example image.
Hope this helps others!

How can i get music to not show up on my phone that i dont want there

how can i get music to not show up on my phone that i dont want there

If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app. Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app. From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

My purchased music does not show in iTunes on my new mac

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. The iTunes library was transferred over by the Apple store employees, but my purchased music does not show. How can I get my purchased music to show in iTunes? (I previously had a Windows PC). Thank you!

The 'Purchased' music is just a special Playlist. You can create your own and drag the links into the 'Purchased' PL.
Using the command CMD-J you can add the Purchase date to your list view - sort by date - drag the tunes to the 'Purchased' PL.

Good! Sometimes you need to apply a little brute force.

Purchased music is not showing up on iTunes 11

I am running Windows 7 and am having trouble with iTunes. I have updated my iTunes to 11 and my purchases are not showing up in the Library. When I do a search, the music and apps show up in the iTunes folder. I've tried re-launching iTunes and restarting my computer to no avail. Any music I do import from a CD does show up in my Library. Is there a fix to this or am I going to to have to reinstall iTunes to my computer? Please help if you can, thanks...

Figured it out, looked for the individual songs and "draged" them from the folder to the iTunes library.

My iTunes music is not showing in iTunes

I just bought a new iMac and wanted to move my iTunes library from my MacBook to my iMac. I followed the directions in the set up assistant. I copied the entire iTunes folder (not just media or music) onto an external hard drive. I then merged that iTunes folder with the one on my new iMac. When I look in a finder window I can see all of my music in the iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder. However, when I open iTunes the only music there is what I have purchased on iTunes. Why isn't iTunes reading the correct folder? I have made sure it is directed to the right folder in preferences (see screen shot) but it's still not showing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Pearljamluvr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you have transferred your iTunes library to a new computer, and are wondering how to get that content imported into iTunes. To accomplish this, please see the information and the article outlined below.
Part 4 (optional): Add back new content
Copy the iTunes Media folder you created in Part 2 into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder inside the iTunes Media folder you copied in Part 3. iTunes will automatically import the content.

Iphone 4S iTunes music purchase not showing in iTunes on Mac

I purchased a song on my iPhone 4S using the same iTunes account that I use on my MacPro running Lion and the latest version of iTunes.
The purchased song shows up on my Mac iTunes under "purchased", but it does not show up in Music when I search for the song.
I did confirm that the song did download to my Mac from the iTunes store automatically. I am an iCloud subscriber and all of my devices have been synched with iCloud.
Why doesn't it show up in my regular music catalog on my Mac? Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Bud
