HT4913 music not categorized in my library on ipad

Suddenly a large amount of albums, artists, etc that were categorized and could be found searching by genres and by artists no longer appear in those categories and can only be found by searching by albums. This just happened the last time I synced a week or so ago. Frustrating because my primary method for locating music is these two search methods. Does anyone know why this might now be happening? I did not change any settings in itunes or otherwise. Only thing I have done recently (last few months) was to make sure that all music is physically in my ipad memory and not accessed via cloud when that functionality was added. Any ideas?

i tried... file, device, ransfer purchases from iphone and nothing seemed to be working
i'm used to them just automatically uploading tbh but i've not really used itunes on my laptop for a while so it must be this new version of itunes
i have now gone on to the itunes store, clicked on purchases and selected not in my library and they seem to be going into the recently added playlist in my itunes library
it never used to be that hard did it

  • HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

    I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
    However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
    Help Please!

    The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • Music not showing up in library after drag and drop (7.0)

    Music will not show up in library after draging and dropping .mp3's into itunes. Also won't show up if I try the File > Add Folder to Library. The processing files box shows up like its going to work, but it just doesn't. I have tried many differnet mp3's, some actually DID import.
    Also, double clicking on an mp3 will bring up itunes, but it will not load or play the song.
    I currently have 55.5GB of music, and 10,158 songs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

    Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

  • Purchsed music not showing up in Library or created playlist

    I purchased music last night and successfully transfered the music to my iPod. Now I would like to listen to the music from my computer. However the files are not showing in my iTunes playlist or library. I can find all of the titles, in my Music folder (running Windows XP) but the titles are just shown as individual folders, without the music file for play. Problem - why isn't my purchased music shown in my iTunes library available for play today?

    Close iTunes, delete the hidden file called sentinel from the iTunes folder where your library files are stored and then restart. This should force iTunes to run an integrity check on the database which ought to resolve the problem.

  • Music not appearing in iTunes library

    This is my last hope before I throw everything out of the window ....
    I have windows 7 and an old iPod Classic - never had issues before, but last 2 days I cannot transfer any music to the library and put on iPod. I have trawled through these posts, and;
    Chosen manual sync
    Turned off iTunes Match
    Tried to drag files
    Tried to put them on desktop them drag
    Tried dragging fro, c drive directly to iPod that shows up in 'my computer'
    Tried adding to library cntrl + o
    Tried deleting whole library and iPod - then move it all back - this just moved all the 'old' files, but none of the new music
    It just doesn't even seem to respond and do anything - then sometimes it says it's already there and do I want to 'replace' I choose yes, and it still doesn't show in the library!
    It's all on my desktop and is normally a simple task of dragging them over to iTunes, but for some reason iTunes is having none of it.
    Please help as this is driving me insane .....

    So, the current problem is not related to the iPod, is that correct?  The iPod is not part of the problem.  The problem is that you cannot add songs to your iTunes library.
    Turned off iTunes Match
    That should not matter for adding new songs.
    Tried to drag files
    Tried to put them on desktop them drag
    That should work.  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not showing, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, select Music under LIBRARY.  Show your iTunes music library as a regular list of Songs.  When you drag the files, drag them to that list.
    Tried dragging fro, c drive directly to iPod that shows up in 'my computer'
    That will never work to load content to an iPod or into iTunes.
    Tried adding to library cntrl + o
    That should work.  In the dialog box for selecting what to add, are you able to select the song files.  If you are trying to add a song file format that is not compatible with iTunes, it will not work (and the other methods will not work either).
    Tried deleting whole library and iPod - then move it all back - this just moved all the 'old' files, but none of the new music
    This may indicate that the new music song files are not a format that iTunes can play (or import).  This document provides a list of compatible file formats

  • Music Not Showing up in Library

    I have the latest edition of iTunes and just discovered something odd.
    Sometimes I drag & drop folders of MP3 music that I got from other sources directly into my iTunes Music folder.
    I just realized that this music does not show up in my Library in iTunes unless I specifically use the "Add Folder To Library" feature in iTunes.
    HUH?
    Is there any way to have iTunes atomatically scan the iTunes Music folder for new additions and automatically add them to the library? I can't understand why it wouldn't do this...but it's not.
    Help.

  • ITunes Music not showing up in Library

    I have read a number of similar questions on how to restore the music library. Of those I tried none worked. So, can anyone tell me:
    How do I recreate the library so that it will pick up all music in iTunes Music folders?
    Thank you,

    When I disconnect my ipod from my computer all the music on my ipod dissapeares from itunes[
    THat is working correctly.
    The iPod is not connected so iTunes cannot see the iPod.
    isnt it supposed to transfer to my library once I disconnect?
    It cannot transfer when it is disconnected because it is disconnected.
    Whats wrong with my Ipod/Itunes?
    Dunno?
    With the iPod not connected, do you have music in iTunes?
    Does it play?
    With the iPod not connected, do you have music on the iPod?
    Does it play?

  • Why is my music not showing on my account in 2 separate computers?

    Why is all of my music not showing in my library on 2 separate computers?

    Did you put your music on the computers?

  • Combing two large libraries (over 1.25 TB total) and music will not show up in library but does in media folder. Help?

    I'm a Windows PC user, and I'm currently in the process of combining my 12,000+ song library on my laptop (we'll call it Library A) with a 180,000+ song library (Library B, and yes, one-hundred-and-eighty thousand) onto a new hard drive. I have successfully moved Library A from my laptop onto my new hard drive. The method I have tried so far to move the Library B music into A on the new hard drive is by using the "Add Folder to Library" and selecting only a small portion of the folders in Library B's media folders as not to overload iTunes and to be able to pinpoint problems.
    This worked for a few small iterations but the moment I tried doing half of the "A" artists (alphabetically), most of the music doesn't show up in the library. Some of it doesn't show up in the regular library but in the "Recently Added" playlist, and some don't show up in either. I have even tried adding just single files now and those don't show up at all.
    THEY ALL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA FOLDER ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE. That is why I think this might be true but I'm not sure: I've heard that it is because iTunes needs to process all the songs before it shows up in the actual library. Is this true? I have waited over an hour for adding about 6,000 songs; half showed up right in the beginning and half haven't yet. When I added about 4,000 just before this, they all showed up without any problems.
    Any help? And is there an easier, error-free way to add this many songs into a new library at once? I'll keep this updated for anyone trying. Thanks in advance!
    I have tried signing out and signing in and that does not work either.

    hey.
    finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
    i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

  • My computer recently crashed.  I had everything on an externa drive.  I'm trying to reload my music into itunes from my external drive.  I do not have an itunes library document for some reason.  How do I get my library back onto itunes?

    I'm trying to figure out how to access my music library from my external drive.  I do not have a media library document and believe that I would have to create one based on the music that is on my external drive.  Can someone help?

    If you're running Windows 8.1, this seems to be a common theme, or some variation there of at least. Myself, I can't even back-up on my iPhone 4S which has iOS 7.1.2 and I'm running iTunes 11.3.0.54 and have resorted to purchased the iTunes Match service to ensure that music on my primary desktop PC (which is paired to my iPhone) will be available on both the iPhone and my Windows 8.1 laptop. Regarding backing up of the iPhone, I'm thinking about going to a third party solution until either Apple and/or Microsoft can figure out why Windows 8.1 is having so many problems with the current version of iTunes (as of this writing 11.3.0.54).

  • I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

    you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere.  Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.
