Imported CD not showing up in iTunes

I have tried importing this CD as Apple Lossless, .mp3, etc and it doesn't ever show up in iTunes. I found the music with the finder but when I drag it to iTunes, no go. I right click and say open with iTunes, nope. I go through iTunes and use Add to Library, it still isn't showing up. No error message is displayed, it just simply doesn't add it to the library.

This is how I solved the issue. I have iTunes 11.0.1 and it would import CDs, show them in the search but not actually be in the library.
Navigate to Applications folder and hold Option + Double Click on iTunes. A window will pop up asking you to Create a Library or to Choose Library. After clicking Choose Library navigate to Music>iTunes and hit Open. This was basically a refresh for my library and everything showed up.
Hope that helps. Also, fix your product Apple.

  • Importing songs not showing up in itunes

    I have about 200gb of music on an external hd. I import songs into itunes (it shows adding files) but I can not find the songs in itune. Or it will import 1-5 songs out of the 15 or so that were in the folder I was attempting to import.
    I tried to import all 200gb of music but only about 1/4 is showing up in itunes.
    I have even draged and dropped songs from ext. hd into itunes using my computer window next to itunes. It shows a + sign next to song as it is added, but I can not find it in itunes then.
    Any body have this problem?
    Any suggestions on how to remedy?
    Much Thanks!!!

    I followed the instructions for transfering a library
    from Windows to a Mac and so far it's gone fine. Now
    I'm trying to get the songs to show up in iTunes with
    no success. I dragged the library from the iPod to
    the music folder under documents, on the mac. It's
    still not showing up in iTunes. I tried importing
    these songs from that location and it brings up the
    error message: "The file "Itunes Library.itl" cannot
    be imported because it does not appear to be a valid
    exported file" Any help would be greatly, greatly
    appreciated. If you need any clarity because I know
    it's jumbled, just let me know.

    I tried the suggestions of other users to import from an external drive with the same result as you. I resolved this by instead selecting add to library and then browsing to the itunes folder on the external drive. It then copied all the contents to iTunes on the Mac.

  • Imported songs not showing up in iTunes

    Just imported a CD. They are not in my iTunes library, but the files are there in the directory on the back end. I even watched iCloud upload them, but the tracks are not showing up in iTunes even when searching for them. Any ideas?!?!?

    I have this same problem. Import songs from CD or from a MP3 Folder or if I add a movie, nothing shows up in itunes.
    If I do a search of the media folder in iTunes I can see it there. Even My Apple TV can see the uploads and play them.
    This all seems to have started after the latest update to Lion.
    I have downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled it but it made no difference.
    iTunes is importing ok it's just not displaying the newly imported items :-(

  • The music I am importing is not showing up in iTunes

    I have tried to import a couple of different cds. They seem to import fine, until I go looking for them in the iTunes library. I can't find the music anywhere, not even in the recently added. I don't have iTunes Match or anything like that, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. Also, when I find it in my folders (not iTunes), the songs are their, but they won't play in iTunes either.
    What can I do to fix this?

    So, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and that seemed to work, all my songs are there and playable!

  • When I attempt to import a CD the CD does not show up in itunes

    I put a CD into my drive and the CD does not show up in itunes. As a matter of fact there are no import cd buttons in my itunes or in my file tabs. At first it was saying it was locating it but now nothing happens. I did get a new computer a month ago. I never had this problem before.

    What format are the tracks?

  • Cd's not showing up in ITUnes so I can import

    I have one CD that does not show up in ITunes so i can import it. All my others do. Any suggestions????
    I also have 1 CD that imports but when I play it in ITunes the song skips. ANy suggestions?

    There is no way around the copy-protection to get these CD's to import correctly. If they are new, I would suggest taking them back to the store, politely explaining to a manager that as far as you're concerned the CD's are defective since you can't get them to import into iTunes correctly. Remember Sony is the one who brought us the "root-kit" spyware with their CD copy protection last fall.
    Even though a Mac can handle these types of CD's, I personally refuse to buy them as the recording industry is denying all of us our fair use rights by placing this junk on the CD.

  • My library will not show up in Itunes after moving library

    I moved my library folder from my C drive (my primary drive) to my D drive because I was running out of space on my C drive. I did this through My Computer and not through iTunes. Then, my library does not show up in iTunes.
    I moved the folder back to my C drive and everything, but to no avail. I read the tutorial on the Apple website called "Moving your iTunes folder," and I read the first 1,000 or so posts and nothing really solved my problem. There were other posts that were sort of related, but my case differs in that I moved the folder back to the same place it was before and nothing showed up.
    This happened before, and I was able to fix it. I thought I did the same thing again, but apparently not, since it's still not showing up. I tried every imaginable thing. I looked at under preferences, advanced, and then made sure the iTunes music folder was the same as the one I had my files in. Still, nothing is showing up. I know where my files are and everything, but iTunes acts like no files were even imported.
    I have tried importing songs into iTunes, but it doesn't show up on iTunes, so that rules out importing my files again.
    Please help me. I really am at a loss of what to do. Thanks so much!

    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 iPhone is not showing up in iTunes, or Windows Explorer.

    I have looked around searching and tried to uninstall everything that had anything to do with Apple and iTunes. Nothing worked. I also have gone into the computer managment and stopping and starting the apple managment and iPod service. Still, nothing worked. My iPhone will not show up in iTunes, nor Windows Explorer, when I plug it in I can hear the sound that when a device gets plugged into the computer.

    It sounds like you have a bad USB driver for the phone. That software is installed with iTunes. Like I said earlier, you need to make sure to uninstall everything using that support document. That clears out all Apple software. Do that without the phone attached to the computer of course. Once you have reinstalled everything, then try and connect it. It should load the USB driver and begin to work.
    Let me ask you this. How many pictures do you have in the camera roll? If you have a large number of them and  you have not imported them to the computer, there could be a corrupt picture causing you some problems. While that was known in the past to cause syncing problems, I thought that was fixed. If after you uninstalled iTunes the phone was recognized as a camera, I suggest importing the pictures and then deleting them from the camera roll and try the process all over with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. See if that helps.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory
