ITunes 7.1 - Won't import music - lost imports?

Is anyone else having this problem? I recently "upgraded" to 7.1 and have nothing but problems.
When I try to import new folder or files, iTunes goes thru all the importing process but the music is nowhere to be found?! Add this to the fact that adding any existing files from iTunes to my iPod also takes forever.
Even when I view the "Date Added" category - there is nothing there even though iTunes went thru the whole importing/analyzing process.
Hey APPLE! This is why your customers are wary of trusting and installing these so-called upgrades!
What the heck is going on? I want my iTunes back! Any help is always appreciated.

SoundTaxi files created prior to v 2.2.7 do not play on iTunes v 7.1.1.5. Go to SoundTaxi and download trial version and use old license code to avoid paying again (so said AudioTaxi support). Workaround for old files and discussion here:

ITunes 7.4 won't play music videos

When I doubleclick on a music video, iTunes 7.4 won't play the video, only the music. Music videos where playing fine with prior versions of iTunes. No matter which option I choose in the Video Playback preferences, iTunes won't launch the video. Restarting iTunes didn't bring back music video playback either. Podcasts and Movies are playing just fine though.
Any help ?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I landed here - OS10.7, had iTunes 10.5.2 *thinking* it was playing - acts like it was?, shows pause icon - no audio, no actual playback. ...Scrubber dot didn't move onPlay click. (And, dam, I was hungry for music!), but.. That's where I discovered it. Of course, I had browser audio probs, too - YouTube, Hulu - and Skype - any app output audio was affected...
   I struggled with this for at least a day! Frustrated, I took out my other OS10 boot drives and tried troubleshooting... No dice. I halted CoreAudioD (whew) out of desperation... I checked my audio lines.. Then I remembered I installed a trial of ProTools with an Avid audio driver (maybe looking for Digi-approved devices) at around the time of trouble.
     My SysPref audio panel was showing only Avid's device - no line in, no ext spkr.. So, I ran the ProTools uninstaller to try that. That's where EVERYTHING went back to absolutely normal! (After the restart). SysPref Audio panel shows all! I selected LineOut (for me), and I got it.
     iTunes and other audio-service-consuming apps suddenly didn't take 4 minutes to launch!, and my Lion install was like I first had it. ProTools has a dedicated uninstaller - install that clean. If you have a PT install that works, check the iLok config - my iLok is active and attached, but not for PT 10. Maybe it's avid device->CoreAudio, may it's due to the PT trial???... Whatever it was, for me, the problem lied there.
     Hope that helps any of you guys. Good luck and thanks for the direction, bros..

ITunes 7.2 won't play music from my iPod.

I just installed itunes 7.2 today, and plugged in my ipod. However, it just showed the info about my ipod (gigs available, name of it, ect.) but won't recognize the songs! Help! When i try to uncheck the manually manage music box, it tells me that all my songs on my ipod will be replaced by my library. I really don't want this to happen since I have over 5 gigs on my ipod.

Click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view and what's on your iPod.

ITunes 10.5 won't play music off NAS, 9.2 did.

Keep music on NAS drive so can be shared by 5 other users, the NAS does support iTunes. After upgrade to 10.5, iTunes won't play from the NAS. The drive does appear in the left hand column, but new library screen opens just briefly then closes. Same for both PCs and Macs. 10.5 working on each computer's own library. What changed in 10.5? fixes?

Nearly all NAS devices use Firefly as an iTunes 'server'. Firefly is based on the mt-daapd code. Both Firefly and mt-daapd are effectively discontinued and unsupported. While Firefly does not and never has supported newer technologies like the Apple Remote app for iPhones and also never supported connecting to an Apple TV2, it did work for basic use via iTunes for Mac or Windows.
Apple have unfortunately been tweaking the daap protocol in iTunes and as a result have now several times broken compatibility with Firefly.
The ideal solution would be for all the NAS makers to dump Firefly since it is well behind the times, and switch to an alternative open-source package called forked-daap which does work with Apple Remote and Apple TV2.
I can say that NetGear have now issued a patch for Firefly running on their ReadyNAS boxes so it once again can limp along and work with iTunes 10.5. This particular occasions cause of the problem in iTunes 10.5 has been discovered and how to resolve it (clearly since NetGear have already fixed theirs) so it should not be too long before QNAP and the others catch up.
In the long run it would still be better if they all switched to forked-daap.

IPod Shuffle seen as iPod Nano in iTunes 6 and won't load music

I had iPod shuffle linked to one computer, then changed computers. Tried loading iPod software from installation disc and iTunes 6 then looking at iPod. Initially got message indicating that iPod was linked to another computer - did I want to change link to this computer? I clicked 'YES' and all was well...until I tried the iPod updater. Following that my iPod Shuffle was recognized as an iPod Nano and would not accept any music through iTunes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling software multiple times with no success. I am still able to use iPod with old computer, but those days are numbered... Need some suggestions to remedy this. Thank you.

those symptoms can sometimes be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. are the techniques from this document of any help with that?
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

ITunes runs but won't play music anymore

Since upgrading to 6.0.2 audio files no longer play at all (I don't hear any audio and the diamond in the progress bar does not move) in iTunes for Windows. I'll hit the PLAY button and it changes color, acknowledging I clicked on it, but it won't play. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled but the problem remains. I followed the help article that mentions compatability mode but it was useless. Does anyone have any suggestions or have seen this before?

Here's a link to a recent thread where lots of people had the same problem. See if any of these recommendations work:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=292137
Just one word of caution--in another thread a previous poster said your have to install standalone Quicktime 7.0.3 instead of the current version 7.0.4. I don't know if this is true--maybe you could search the forums for more posts on this subject. Or, if someone knows for sure they can add their 2 cents.

lost some music and cannot find it on my computer. tried to repurchase from itunes store and won't let me stating that it was previously purchased, yet doesn't give an option to redownload. help anyone?

AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

How do I get my music back from a computer which has been recently serviced. I am able to log into my itunes account but lost half of my library which was music I imported originally.

I need help. I recently had my cpu serviced by Geek Squad, They completely renamed the CPU and now all of the music I imported is gone. I dont even have my library anymore. I can usually click on itunes and play music from my library. Its all gone. I have authorized this "new" computer for my account but I still dont have my library. I even went in and deauthorized the computer under the old name. I am very frustrated, as i have some songs which were purchased on itunes on my phone but not all of the music that was imported from CDs. Most of which I got rid of once I imported them into my library. all I want is my entire library back. On my old iphone 3g, which I let my kids use, my entire library is there but on my 4gS, i only have the music which was purchased through itunes. I miss my songs and have no idea where to begin with this process.

Your music will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup cop of your computer.
Certainly you did not have our computer serviced without making sure your backup copy was up to date.
In some countries you can redownload some content:

ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

iTunes won't play music videos.

Hey guys, here's my problem.
I had some major issues with OSX last week that a trip to the Apple Store couldn't fix. Their only advice was to save all my pictures, music, documents, etc. and reformat. I did that yesterday. I reinstalled everything and then downloaded all the most recent updates.
Today, I can play all the music I own in iTunes (music imported from CDs, bought from other sites, and music bought from iTunes itself). However, it won't play any of the music videos I have (all bought off iTunes).
I have authorized the computer again and again. When I try to open the videos in Quicktime it tells me that I don't have permission to play them and that I need to authorize the computer.
I'm lost. Any help?

Yup, this Audio but no Video WAS exactly the same trouble I was having, on my MacBook and iMac but not the other 2 MacBooks. This was due to the speaker settings at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes window. I do use multiple speakers via Airtunes, on the two that were having trouble but not the other two, and although the speakers were only set to the computer it still wouldn't play the video content.
Whilst the audio (of the music video) was playing I then went to reselect multiple speakers, which brought up the "*failure to connect to remote speakers network refused connection*" warning, then I unchecked the remote speakers to leave just the "Computer" and hey presto the video came to life.
Thank you Charles C n Miami and hope this extra info helps.
Happy Music Video Watching

Computer won't play music thru itunes, CD's nor library???

itunes will not play anything, and my computer won't play CD's either. It's like it doesn't even recogonize that there is a CD in the drive. I checked and the driver seems to be there in the list of programs, but it won't work. can't import CD's to itunes or play them. but the wierdest part is my computer won't play the music I have in my itunes library either. No go. what could the matter be?

Sometimes, my computer would be a pain and it took me forever to for the CD to load. About the playing music thing I don't know, but I think the not recognizing CDs is pretty normal. Unless you have a really high speed computer, have you tried defragging it?

Itunes library won't play music on my ext hdd

I have approx 1400 cd's catalogued on itunes (library) the music is stored on a portable hard drive.
When I try and play a song it tells me itunes cannot locate the file, it then asks would I like it to locate the file.
When I answer yes it will take me straight to the hdd that the music is stored on yet it still won't play it unless I play it from the portable hdd.
With 490gb of music and still more to back up.
I am using a MacBook Pro and have itunes v11 if that helps
Supplementary question, I number my discs (I am an ex dj) but with itunes I got to 999 and then had to start at number 1 again does anyone know a way around this?.
Any help will really be appreciated
Thank you

#1 Is the hard drive on and mounted before starting iTunes? iTunes will look only once, at startup, for things on an external drive. If the drive isn't there (it is not on, or it is sleeping) it won't look again.
#2 I think you are running up against something hard coded into iTunes. 3 digits max (same applies to BPM). iTunes is likely programmed with the general consumer in mind, who will use it in a straight-forward manner as intended. Some DJs find it limited in some features but then it likely isn't programmed for DJs. An alternative for you is to think outside the box. For example, "Show" is a tag not normally used for music, but you can store information there too which goes beyond 3 digits/characters. Note, however, it is only stored in iTunes. If you delete a music track and add it again the stored information is not embedded in the music file and is lost.
