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 :-(

  • 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.

  • Ipod songs not showing up in itunes

    Although my ipod (5G - new in October) is showing up in itunes, it is not showing any of the songs on it. Today i imported two new CDs into itunes, and then added them onto the ipod - which says it has imported them, but they are not actually showing up on the ipod. I presume these two problems are linked. I have tried reinstalling both itunes and ipod software - but had no luck.... Does anyone know what I can do?

    I am adding them as normal via itunes - dragging and dropping as my ipod is set up for manual rather than automatic update. Have been using an ipod for about four years and always done it this way without a problem.
    The ipod is showing up in itunes, but as if it is empty (ie no music showing up) despite the fact that it says 25G is being used. Also, all the music i transferred yesterday onto the ipod - which is the only thing showing up as if it is on there when you look at it on itunes - is not actually on there at all....
    It's a mystery!

  • Purchased songs not showing up in iTunes or iPod

    I have purchased many songs from iTunes, both on my computer and on my iPhone over the past year or so.  However, only some of them are showing up in iTunes and iPod.  I have receipts still from iTunes stating that I paid and purchased them and they were even in my library and on my iPod for some time but I went to listen to a couple of songs yesterday and couldn't find them anywhere; both browsing for the song and the artist.  I went to my computer to see if they where there to re-sync but they were not in my library either.  I'm not sure what happened to them as I haven't done anyting different.  I tried restarting my iPhone and, closing and reopening iPod and even rebooting the computer, still nothing.  I have red some threads stating that you should change the language to French, did that, still nothing.  I'm not sure what the issue is but I have proof that I paid for the songs but they are no longer around.  I'm very frustrated!  Any help would be great.
    I've also been experiencing issues with updating the software.  Sometimes I get a timed out error which is odd since I have an internet connection with no issues.  It gets all the way to the end and won't complete.  I try two or three times and give up and then the next day I may try again and it will work without issues.  I have the iPhone 4 and have software update 4.3.2 but have not successfully done the 4.3.3 yet as I keep getting the update error and it's driving me insane!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks!

    on the computers itunes click on the iTunes Store.
    then click Purchased under quick links on the right.
    you can then select Not In My Library and download anything you're missing from there.

  • 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.

  • Songs not showing up in Itunes 11?

    Music that I have bought on amazon is showing up in the music folder on my hardrive, but when I select "open with itunes" itunes opens, but the song does not show up in my library.

    Chances are that iTunes is uploading NEW content to your iPhone... since the songs are on your iPhone, but not on your computer, your computer is not removing them from your phone.  
    Second option:
    The songs are still in the main library.  have you checked the list of ALL of your songs on your computer?

  • Songs not showing up in iTunes

    Recently many of my songs haven't been showing up in itunes. It happened randomly and decreased my library by about 3000 songs out of 10000 in no particular pattern (like date added, alphabetical order, downloaded songs, file format, etc.) except the songs are missing in groups of albums.
    I tried reinstalling itunes and deleting the songs from itunes and reimporting them with no luck. I didn't change any options in the preferences tab, and I checked my actual music folder and it's all still there, but some songs just don't show up in itunes. What can I do to resolve this?

    Maybe your "iTunes Music Library.xml" file got corrupted?? Try searching this file for some of the songs in question and see if they're in there at all and if so if there's anything funky about them.
    Next step:
    Try uninstalling iTunes and verifying that "iTunes Music Library.xml" is REMOVED and then reinstall and drag all your music into it again. I believe this will remove any playlists as well, so you should back them up...not quite sure how to do that.

  • 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!

  • Imported songs not showing in library...??

    Help please!  I've imported a few CDs and they are showing in my recently added playlist but not appearing in my library.  How can I fix this so they show in my library?

    Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

  • 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.

  • Imported CD songs not showing in library

    I imported a CD into itunes...it says they imported but none of the songs are showing in my itunes library. I tried dragging them over from the CD and it says that they are already there. Any idea why I can not see them in the itunes library? This is very frustrating. The same thing occured with a movie I just imported.

    Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.

  • I have songs on my iPhone but they do not show to my iTunes library. How do I get them to show?

    I have an iPhone 4 and have songs on it that do not show on my iTunes library. Everything is up to date, but I cannot get these songs to show to make my playlists.  Some of these songs were from CDs I had. How do I get these songs to transfer from the iPhone to the iTunes library?

    If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

  • HT4915 How do I delete a song from my iPhone 4s if it is not showing up in iTunes?

    How do I delete a song from my iPhone 4s if it is not showing up in iTunes? I've tried going through the "On This Phone" tab and I still cannot view it, but it keeps popping in my play list and I want it gone! It was a freebie song that was included with another song I purchaces and I can't stand it. Please help.
