ITunes 10.2.2.14 shows no music

Following the upgrade to 10.2.2.14 none of my music appears in iTunes.
All the music is there, but none of the information is visible. If you click on a playlist, the songs will appear for about 1 second, then vanish. Go back and select music and the same thing happens, they appear for a second and then promptly vanish.
The system is XP Pro SP3 with all the current fixes/patches. I tried uninstalling iTunes and all the other Apple software and then deleted the iTunes directory and data; then did a clean install and copied some songs into the iTunes Library. Same problem. Songs are there but cannot be seen.
Any suggestions?

Can't get iTunes on new computer to show iCloud music files or manually manage phone

I have so many questions. Normally I use iTunes on my work PC, but I got a new home PC, downloaded iTunes, logged in with Apple ID, yet I don't see any of the music showing up from my Cloud. And when I plug my phone in, I'm unable to add/delete some files that I had manually added at work. How do I get my home and work PC to sync so that I can plug my phone into either and pull down music, or add/delete files? Both conputers are authorized.
If it's a syncing issue, can I only sync to one computer? And how do I do that?

Hi Samma7,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The articles below may help you with this. You can only sync your iPhone to one iTunes Library, so you will have to decide which computer to use. I would suggest following the steps in the article below to backup your iTunes library to an external drive to copy it to your new computer at home.

ITunes Store purchase does not show in Music library

Two songs purchased from iTunes store today. Download looked OK, new purchases do show in Store>Purchased list. I added ratings, and songs went to smart playlist for top rated songs. BUT songs do not appear in Library>Music where all songs are. Search indicates they do not exist. It is from this library I drag to other lists. But without them there I am stumped. Never seen this before.
I do use iTunes Match, if that is an issue.

Same problem here. I found if I type in the song or artist in Search and then hit the Return key, they do show up immediately. Otherwise they only show up with just typing (not hitting the Return key) until the next day. I am wondering if Apple is uploading our database of songs and they do not show up automatically until Apple gives the ok. I do not trust them.

I recently got a new laptop and i havent downloaded new music for many months off iTunes and i have always used my aunts laptop. I setup up an my itunes sccount but it only showed downloaded music from over two years ago. How to fix it?

I recentl bought a new laptop and setup my itunes and couldnt remember my account informaion. I got logged in but only 60 of my 750 songs were on there and they were downloaded over 2 years ago on my aunts laptop and that is the only place i have ever downloaded from my itunes. I would like to get new songs but im worried to sync it because it ssays all my music will be removed. Is it possible i have my ipod connected to two accounts? If not can anyone explain what has happend or help me out of this pickle?

I have tried many things and none of them work i have purchased over 340 songs itunes and id really noy like to lose them all.

ITunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.

iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them. I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music. I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5... never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.

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 AB and resync
To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
- 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.

How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

Please help! I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes. The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).

I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!!
I just downloaded the iTunes program.
Very confused, pleaseee help ...

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Help ASAP needed

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

My iphone4 no longer shows my music files?? They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

My iPhone is driving me insane! It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone). After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet. I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested & this resolved the problem. The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software. However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
I've since synched the phone & the problem is now even worse!!! My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes! However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!? Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer & the music files are still in the phone?!?
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem. I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files! I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch. This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done). I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!). Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work. It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did. This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in. I need to either:-
* figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
* figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

You cannot buy music from itunes, as they do not sell it in your coutnry. You would have to buy elsewhere.

When i plug my ipod into itunes it shows the music i put on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music.

I have a 6th generation ipod nano, When i plug it into the itunes it shows the music i have on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music. What do i do?

You may want to do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the problem is caused by data corruption in the iPod's storage, a Restore should fix it.

TS1382 I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it back up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?

What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.
