I am missing several hundred songs from my itunes

I am missing several hundred ssongs from my iTunes account. I switched computers several months ago.

If they are iTunes purchases and you haven't moved countries since buying them and they are still in the store, then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - and check to see if you've hidden any : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
If you can't redownload them and you still have your old computer then you can copy them over from that : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - or you can copy them via home sharing.
Or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them to that computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library.

  • I'm missing about a hundred songs from my iTunes and I can't find them on the cloud. What should I do?

    I've noticed that everytime I download i Tunes i have several songs missing. I have a new computer and have noticed that I'm missing even more songs, but they are not in my cloud. Also, songs I thought I had lost forever are back in my library. What can I do to get my missing songs back?

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

    Bought new iMac & moved (or thought I had) all of my music from the old PC to the new iMac. Have discovered several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac itunes Shared folder. How do I move them all so I can then & retire the old PC?

    From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Is there a way to upload songs from my iTunes to another iPod that is connected with a different iTunes account without any songs being deleted?

    My father has thousands of tracks in ipod nano uploaded from his desktop computer itunes, but he wants several tracks from my macbook pro laptop itunes.  Is there a way to get my tracks into his nano without deleting the thousands of tracks.  It seems ridiculous to delete all the tracks just to get a few more.  By the way, he does not have a desktop computer anymore, and the only way to get tracks is from my laptop.  Also some of the tracks in his nano, he does not own the CDs anymore that is why he does not want to automatically delete his thousands of tracks in his nano.  When he had his desktop, he had his own itunes account, and i have my own itunes tracks.  We want to share music although we have our own account. Please help. Thank you Apple.

    No. If you have different iPod using a different iTunes acct. you have no choice but to delete the songs and upload your. itunes won't let you transfer songs from different iTunes acct.

  • I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

    I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer.  I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
    My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
    Any advice/help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How do I transfer songs from one iTunes library to another?

    My husband and I each have our own iBook G4 and iPod mini's. I need to get songs from his itunes library (mostly downloaded from cd's) to mine so that I can put together a playlist for his surprise 50th birthday party. What's the easiest and quickest way of doing this?

    Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I think that the fastest way is:
    - connect the 2 iBooks using the Airport Extreme Card or the Ethernet
    - open finder then select network and select the remote computer
    - open iTunes, select your tracks and then drag them into the shared folder... that's it! You have just transfered your music to the other iBook and now you can create your playlist using iTunes.
    If you don't know how to create a private network or something else, post another message... bye!

  • I purchased a song from the itunes store and down loaded it to my ipod. The song will not play. I attempted to listen to it on my computer and itunes asked me to authorize my computer. I did so and it told me I authorized one out of five computers .

    I purchased a song from the itunes store and downloaded it to my ipod and it will not play what happens now?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I recently downloaded an album from Amazon (a gift) directly to iTunes.  I also recently pruchased a song from the iTunes store.  In both cases, the songs in the album appear in a lighter print on my iPod and won't play when selected.  Will play on comput

    I recently downloaded an album (a gift) from Amazon, one option of which is to download directly to my iTunes library (which is what I did).  I also purchased a song from the iTunes store shortly after this.  In both cases, the music shows up on my iPod touch in a lighter print than the other music on my iPod.  When I select it nothing happens.  I only plug into the computer a couple of times a month, but I perform all updates as are indicated and I synch my iPod.  Note that when I have iTunes up on my computer, the music WILL play directly from the library, just not on the iPod.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hello zayasva
    I would delete the songs and download them again, or plug it into iTunes to resync them back on.

  • I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time.  How do I do that?

    I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time.  How can I do this.  All of my songs have check marks by them.  Help!

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

  • How can I wirelessly in for a song from my iTunes library on my PC to my iPad

    I would think it would be a way to import a song from my iTunes library to my iPad if I wanted to take a few songs or maybe an album with me on the iPad I don't want to use a USB cable and connected to the computer I'd like to do it wirelessly.  Have Apple home sharing set up and thought I could just browse my iTunes library from the iPad and import a song that would be great if that works but I don't see a way to do it hoping that there's alternative ways to accomplish this.   Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

    Do you want to stream them to you or transfer them?   And are you talking about at home on your wifi network, or anywhere?
    If away from home, the only way to get the songs is to download them as you want them from I cloud.  The cloud will not stream.
    If you are home, you can go either way.  If you want to transfer them, then pick them on the computer, and sync. You cannot pick the songs to sync from the pad or phone.      If you are home, and you want to just listen to them, you can stream to your device using AirPlay.  Assuming all devices are on the same network with the same apple id, you can play song that live on your computer on your phone or pad.
    In the music app, at the bottom, touch more, and your shared library will be available.
