Ipod cant find music

My ipod suddenly won't find my music. I-tunes still has it all, but the computer now won't "mount ipod". The ipod memory shows that there are files still on it. Reset does not help. Last time I ran the battery down, then recharged it and the music appeared again. Next time I turned it on, the music was gone again. any suggestions?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"I went to computer to recover and cant find them on my library or playlist,"*
Your purchased iTunes music should be in the iTunes window ????
Connect your iPod to your computer. It should launch iTunes for you. Then from the iTunes Menu Bar, click File / Sync iPod
If you don't see your iTunes purchased music in the iTunes window, try My Documents/My Music/iTunes.

Itunes cant find music files

Seems to be some discussion on this problem where as itunes will not play the music on the computer and says it cant find the music files. I found that the block for using itunes as default audio player has to be checked. This is in preferences under the advanced tab. Seems to come unchecked at times and stops the player. Also my music location, also under advanced will go back to default at times. (My files are on an external hard drive) Hope this helps.

Cant find music after sucessful update

uploaded some music to my ipad 2 but after a sucessful upload i cant find the music on my ipad, eventhough it works perfectly on my computer itunes. what is wrong?

If the music is in your iTunes library on the computer, sync with iTunes again.
Connet the iPad to the PC, launch iTunes. Select the iPad from under the Devices heading on the left sidebar of iTunes. Click on the Music Tab in the iTunes window on the right. Check the Sync Music Heading. Select all of the albums, artists, playlist, songs - whatever - and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
You can also download purchased music again in many locations. Go to the iTunes app on the iPad and click on the Purchased tab (if you have one) and you can download your songs again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs.

Ipod cannot find music files

I just updated to iTunes 12.1.1.4, and once again, I plug in my iPod and my music went from over 2500 songs to 174!! ABSOLUTELY FRUSTRATED!
Restore did not work. I click on music files on my iPod and I get the icon but there is no option to "find" the file. All the help articles talk about how to find files in iTunes. They are not missing from iTunes, they are missing from my iPod! And it's RIDICULOUS that Apple wants me to pay $29 for support on software that always corrupts my iPod!!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I cant find music files on my Ipod

I can see all my songs on my ipod library when I tunes is open. But when open it as a hard drive half of my songs are missing or not there. I need them all to be there to transfer my library to a new computer.
any suggestions on how to find these files?

Hi,
To transfer all the songs from the computer to the iPod shuffle and then to a new computer, first determine the amount of space taken by all the songs.
Then connect the iPod shuffle to the old computer and in iTunes Prefrences click on the iPod and check "Enable Disk Use" and slide the slider to the Right side to increase the size.

Cant find music

I bought a bunch of apps and music from itunes with my iphone , before i could sync my phone ,i dropped it and had to get it repaired. I can find the purchase history on my acct but i cant get the songs into my library... id like to get them on my phone again .... Help ?

3rd party apps can be downloaded again with iTunes on your computer or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
Not the same with music and movies/tv shows. Maintaining a backup for your purchased music and any movies/tv shows from the iTunes store is your responsibility. You can contact iTunes store customer support to request being able to download the music again that was purchased with your iPhone before it was dropped.

Media Playen cant find music

Hi, i have new songs added to the E71 and the media player wont find them, when you search via "Serch" program it can see and play not problems, any ideas?

Try refreshing the music library now that you've added new tracks. You can do this with 'Options' --> 'Refresh' from within the Music Player app (may take a while to complete if you have many songs).
My previous phones:
6310i --> SE K750i --> E50 --> E61i --> E71
... much prefer the Nokia phones, especially the E71

Cant find music in "purchased"

I want to download my previously purchased music from itunes, but when I go to the purchased list, only my apps appear! How can I find and download my music??

Either Look in the iTunes Store on your iPhone or look in the iTunes Store in the iTunes Program on your desktop, laptop or whatever you have. Then if you go to "Not in my Library" or "Not on my iPhone" then your purchses that aren't on the device should appear. Make sure you are looking at the correct section such a Music, Apps, TV Shows etc if youre on a computer. If you are on your iPhone and you want music or video then go on the iTunes store, if you want Apps, then go to the App Store.

Cant find music on server

I've paid for an album, and I cant download it. It keeps saying that it can't be found on the server.
Any ideas? I've paid and got nothing for it.

There could be a number of reasons why a track shows as not available. The track could have been defective and Apple is waiting for a replacement from the record company, the record company could have requested for some reason that the track be withdrawn, or it could just be an error in the iTMS database (with a couple of million tracks, that's not unlikely).
Contact the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them. If they don't have an immediate fix, they'll probably credit your account and suggest you wait a couple of weeks before trying again.

My new ipod cant find january upgrade

I bought a ipod touch and direct bought the upgrade, but then my ipod went broken and i was forced to pick up a new one in the store, and i connect the ipod to itunes, and update to 1.1.4 but then the upgrade doesnt instal, im loged in to itunes store and i can se that i have bought it, men it doesnt downloading to my ipod. I have press the update-botton, sync. it manuall and so on, but nothing helps. I have try to contact itunes support but they couldnt help me...What can i do?

You are syncing from the same computer, same user account on the computer, and same itunes account that you used to purchase the update, correct? When you plug your ipod in click on the ipod in the left hand itunes pane, then select summary from the main window, make sure "manually manage music and videos" is not selected. See [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6415636&#6415636] to verify that the Jan. upgrade file is still located in the correct place on your computer.

Moved music to external Hard Drive. Now Itunes cant find Music

Moved my Itunes to an external hard drive and went through preferences in Itunes with the location. However, when I click on the music, Itunes cannot play and I have to manually link the library to the song to the new location. I have over 300 songs in Itunes as well as videos and photos.
Am I going to have to manually link each file? Or is there an easier way?
I am using Windows XP
Thanks

If you moved the files then you have to re-link the files. Using iTunes to move the files would maintain the links.
This article gives the details.
