ITunes 10 won't show me my songs.

I just downloaded iTunes 10 and it won't display my songs.
I use Snow Leopard (got it recently)
When I had iTunes 9 it wouldn't work, and every time I reopened it it would crash immediately.
Now iTunes 10 doesn't crash, but when I import songs, the songs are imported and they start playing, but it doesn't show up in the library.
Also, whenever I click "Movies" and then "Music", the movies introduction page just stays there and sort of freezes.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Try testing with an alternate iTunes library, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. After launching iTunes while holding the Option key, import a few tracks and test viewing/playback in the alternate library.
If the issue persists, try removing and reinstalling iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224.
If the issue only occurs with the primary iTunes library, try re-creating it. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 will walk you through the process.

I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window. One of the albums won't even play the music. Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music. Can you help?

Hello dannugget
Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.

TS1389 I tried all these steps and iTunes still won't let me play songs I paid for... Every time I authorize, it repeats that it's already authorized, but won't play because it's not authorized ... Catch 22

Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

ITunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network

As it says in the subject, iTunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network. For a while I thought the problem was with iTunes Match itself. And maybe it still is somehow. But I recently discovered the problem only occurs on my own home network. Any time I add a song to iTunes that isn't in the iTunes store, it should upload it. But instead it just loops in failed attempts to upload, always stopping and starting over at step 1. Occasionally I'll get error messages like -9810, but more often it'll just continue to loop for hours on end. I recently took my MBP to a coffee shop and used their wifi and tried it there, and the songs uploaded without any problem at all. I never used to have this issue over the entire year I was using iTunes Match. My only guess as to what might have caused the issue is when we downgraded the speed of our internet. I can't recall for certain whether that was the exact time my issues began, but it's the only possible change I can think of. I've tried rebooting the router, turning iTunes Match and Genius off and on, rebooting the computer, creating a new iTunes Library, all not solving my problem. Any other ideas?

There's a longer thread discussing this problem over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=120&tstart=0
What I posted there is that if I enable QOS on my router and limit my upload bandwidth (I used a cap of 1024 kilobits/second) then iTunes Match stops looping and will successfully upload songs and complete match.
There aren't any blocked ports, it's really just iTunes being a pig and oversaturating the internet connection to a point of failure.
Super frustrating, it's been a bug for months. I wish I had a better solution.

I have an iTunes account. My iTunes on my computer shows about 100 songs. However, when I click on about 1/3 of the songs, they will play for about 15 seconds and quit. Anyone know what is going on?

I have an iTunes account along with an older iPod and a new iPhone. My iTunes account shows about 50 songs on it. When I try to play about half of the songs, they play for 15 seconds and then it quits and goes on to the next song. Anybody have any ideas?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

ITunes 10 won't show some artwork?

After I upgraded to iTunes 10, I noticed that some of the artwork will no longer display in the column view. It's still there, it just won't show up. Why would this happen?

To be honest I think the way the new iTunes handles artwork now is a pretty big retrograde step, you now can't scale the artwork in the list view plus loads of the cover art is now just not there thanks to this "clever" new system.
Hmm, I really miss these aspects of iTunes!
This other thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2564803&tstart=0 also talks about this issue but thanks for the tips on this thread. Let's hope Apple fixes this ASAP.

ITunes playlists won't show on IPhone4s

I've got a new IPhone 4s. But now when I sync with I Tunes on my MacPro....the play lists only show a few songs in each playlist.
Example I have 30 songs in one playlist in ITunes....everything is checked and everything plays just fine.
But after syncing via a cable...Only 4 songs show up on my IPhone4s. I talked with someone at Apple and they said they know there has been an occasional complaint of this happening... They said that the engineers are working on it..
Does anyone know of a work around to get my music onto my IPhone......maybe importing the ITunes music folder in some other form?
Thanks
Rich

What type of iPod do you have? Currently only the iPod classic and the new nanos support the folder structure on the iPod that will allow you to create playlists with a playlist.
Older iPods (and you are posting in the forum for older iPods, hence my question) do not support this and only show playlists as lists of songs even though iTunes allows you to create folders.

Since the latest ITunes update, I cannot find all the CD songs I converted to ITunes. All it shows are the songs I purchased.

Hello jerryfromil,

Itunes 11 won't show my current library?

I downloaded Itunes 11 (my IPOD Classic) was plugged in and charging when I did this. Now it wants me to recreate a new library and I can't bring back the old library which has all my songa and artists organized? I lost all of my 4000 songs and when I plug it in the Itunes library won't recognize what is currently in my IPOD? No support from Apple hope someone can help? Thanks

Itunes 7 won't show songs when Ipod is plugged in.

I used to just plug in my ipod on the old Itunes, click on the "manage manually" button and be able to look at and play (through my computer) all of the songs on my IPOD (My home computer is a separate laptop)
So I downloaded Itunes 7 and when I plug in my IPOD, I can still play songs on my ipod, but that new "ipod summary-version-options" screen is up and I can't get rid of it to see the songs on my IPOD. I can still play the songs, but I can't cycle through the library or pick and specific ones.
Its probably something simple but does any know how to fix this?
thanks

click the little triangle next to the ipod in the source list. when that is pointing down, you'll see "Music" and a list of playlists on the ipod. click on one of those to show the contents of the ipod, or the contents of a playlist on the ipod.

ITunes 11 Won't Let Me Add Songs To Library

I made this a new question because the previous posts were pretty old. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4562384?start=0&tstart=0 Thats the previous with the most replies that I could find. The options they suggested were :
1) file>add folder to library> navigated my way to the name of the folder> highlighted the one i wanted and pushed "select folder" and it brings in any song not already in the library.
2) Have you enabled the menu bar? with the menu bar enabled you can add file or add a folder, also at the bottom left you se the + sign, click that and you have the same options.
3) make sure ur genius is on.
That did my job..
4) I just selected "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library", it works! It was unselected before, and iTunes 11 keeps the old settings. If you are in the same case, don't miss this setting!
5) solved the problem by right-clicking the songs and clicking "convert to AAC". they immediately appeared in my library. hope this helps.
6) In store preferences, I deselected "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" and everything was back to normal!
7) I had this problem as well, what helped me was to rename the MP3 file you're trying to add and just try re-adding again. Hopefully it works.
8) Mine seems to work once and awhile randomly. If you look hard enough you can see the import crash. White box flashes up and goes away.
Sometimes clearing itunes cash/restarting makes it happy?
9)Problem Solved - If using Windows 7 and for instance you want to add folder to itunes you must first transfer the music you want to upload to itunes in the Music Folder - Noted as "Public Music Folder" - This applies to either music on your system itself or from an External Hard Drive - There is no other option thanks to the annoying Windows 7 Operating System - I transferred a huge file and then added it the usual way onto itunes and it worked.
10) Open iTunes. Open Windows Explorer and locate the folder where your music resides. Drag the folder of music into the iTunes window area where the albums are listed. I just dragged it around in the iTunes window until the red circle with a slash turned into "+Copy". Let go of the mouse. The music is playing as I type! Closed iTunes, reopened, it is still there!
So, now that thats out of the way, I went ot other sites and dont think any other options were given but if they were i tried them. Ive tried all of these things in different combinations too. Unlike some other people though, the songs never showed up in recently added and they wouldnt play when I clicked play using itunes. I've transfered music before for my parents from windows media player to Itunes when they got ipods and from one computers itunes to another. Can't figure out why I can't get this to work from this windows media player to new itunes. Its Not all the music though, only select songs, which seem to be the same as the songs in the SAME ALBUM that did work.

OK, I got the same problem, and tried all the solutions here, none of them works.
Then I tried everything by myself, and finally, I made it!
I just selected "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library", it works!
It was unselected before, and iTunes 11 keeps the old settings.
If you are in the same case, don't miss this setting!

Itunes files won't show up in the menu

to import music into a movie, i found out that the dropdown menu only shows me as available, the preinstalled Apple audio effects and short audio files in iMovie. How do i make other forlders and itunes files available to imovie?
imovie 11
mac osx 10.6.8

This continues to get crazier by the minute! I completely deleted the event mentioned above and started from scratch. Impoerted a few clips into this new event and most played properly...but only for a few minutes! I got a call and afterward when I attempted to play clips in the timeline that had just played a minute ago there is now nothing happening!
Here's what they look like on the screen:
Some of them show an audio waveform but most do not. Does ANYONE have any idea what to do here????
I'm dead in the water!!!!!!!!
Here's my timeline:
Just a minute prior to taking this shot the all played perfectly and then they were gone!

ITunes window won't show up?

I've tried repeatedly reinstalling, updating, etc...
It started on iTunes 11.0.2
Is still a problem on 11.0.3
I've scanned for viruses, I've checked everything
The window opens for a split second when I start iTunes and then disappears
Everything is greyed out in the top bar menus
I can open the equalizer and get pop-up messages from iTunes but no window.
I've checked the expose and everything the window isn't hiding, it just won't open. It's simply not there.

Nike+ runs won't update to Nike+ site from itunes and won't show on itunes

ok. I have read through many posts that have had similar issues but not quite the same.
I have run and synced 18 workouts before this annoyance but all before i updated to itunes 9.2
I have two workouts that I can see in my ipod nano. i go to sync and they do not go to the nike+ website.
they will not show up in itunes on the Nike+ipod tab.
so I went through terminal and moved the runs from the "synced" folder to the "latest" folder in the nano. I made sure I could see them in the nano nike+ app. they're there.
so i go to sync through itunes. it says it's sending it to nike+ site. go to nike and they're not there. I look on the nike+ tab in itunes and it doesn't show it. It shows a 30 second test run that I deleted only. BUT, this is what stumps me, within the nano the 2 runs move from the "latest" folder to the "synced" folder. I'll go back into terminal and move the runs back and this viscous cycle repeats.
all my old runs are still in the nano and on the nike+ site. is itunes effing up or is the nano?? I don't know.
Here's a bit more about the 30 second test run i just mentioned. so, I thought maybe the .xml files (the runs) were messed up so I recorded a new one. 30 seconds long just to see what happens. I tried to sync it. shows up in itunes, says it sent it to the nike+ site. nope. not there. so I went into the nano and removed the test run through terminal. it's gone. i go through the nano and there is no 30 second test run. Whenever i plug in the nano now, itunes says my last run is the 30 second run that I have physically removed from the nano. huh?
i ran with my iphone today and it's been no problem at all. ran and it synced no problem.
maybe my nano is "corrupted" (whatever that means since it's working fine aside from this) and i have to reset it. i'm willing to do that if I can get all my runs (the .xml files) off the nano and put them back in. but i don't know how to pull files off the nano but will figure it out but wanted to see if anyone else gets this weirdness.
please help

ITunes store won't let me preview songs

So I want to preview a song in iTunes before I purchase it and everytime I click on the preview button the song plays for about 5 seconds then stops. This happens no matter where I start in the song. I could hit preview and click 20 seconds into it and after about 5 seconds it will shut off again. I downloaded the newest version of iTunes hoping it would fix this problem but it hasn't done anything!!! Please help...

You could use youtube to "preview" the songs your buying until you figure it out?
