ITunes 9.2 not Adding to Library content downloaded from eMusic or Amazon

I have content that I've downloaded from eMusic and Amazon through their respective downloaders. Both downloaders are set to add the content to my iTunes library, but after dwonload, nothing shows up in iTunes. Trying to add the content via File-Add to Library doesn't work either. Indeed, I can't even add content that I downloaded long ago. (Just bought a new MBP and trying to get things up to speed.) Anyone else having this problem? What's the fix?

Thanks for the help by the way. I think something is very wrong with my copy of iTunes 9.2. I've discovered other issues: I downloaded the free song from the iTunes store. It shows up in the "Purchased" folder, but not in the Library "Music" folder. Also, iTunes doesn't see anything on my iPod Touch. I was able to drag eMusic and Amazon items from playlists to my Touch as well as stuff currently showing in my Library. Everything shows up where it should on the Touch when I access it through the Touch, but nothing shows up when accessing it through iTunes on my computer. Very weird...and bad. I think I'll try a reinstall of iTunes and see if that has any effect.

I am trying to transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac; however, all that transfers is the music I downloaded from itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's.

How do I transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac? When I try all that transfers is what I downloaded from Itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's/.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

2011 Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information, particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick solution above. Unfortunately it uses the single term "transferring library" for two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration) and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

My daughter's itunes library is on a computer that now has a broken usb. can she view her library and download from my computer? is so, how?

my daughter's itunes library is on a computer that now has a broken usb port. can she view her library and download from my computer? is so, how?

If you set up Home Sharing and are on the same network you can share your library. However you must be using the same itunes account. Another option (if you are trying to download to a device) would be to sync over Wi-Fi. I hhope this helps a bit. If you let me know what you are trying to accomplish I may be able to give a better answer

ITunes purchased music not found in library

Hi there, maybe someone can help me, I'm having MANY annoying problems with my itunes both before and after the 2015 update. Problems with both music purchased directly from iTunes and from cd uploaded music. Main concern is inaccessible music purchased from iTunes:
*The other day, I noticed about 1500 songs from my library would not play within the iTunes program. These are from previously uploaded CD's and mp3's, and then I noticed also iTunes music, when attempting to play would give the error "unable to locate file/locate now". Sure I guess I can re-upload the hundreds of CD's (sigh), but I'm mostly concerned about the inaccessible music I bought and paid for from Apple.
I tried some online research and found the Account Tab->Purchased within iTunes desktop program, to re-download...however this didn't fix the problem because some of the iTunes purchased songs having the "no-play/can't locate" issue were not showing up as "Not in My Library"... And it appears you can only re-download with the cloud button, music that isn't already in your library. But when you go to play them you get the error message and it shows an exclamation point by the check mark box. Some of these inaccessible songs however, will play on my iPhone and some will not.
*Next issue, I also cannot locate MANY of these iTunes purchased songs/albums on my hard drive either (I am using a windows 8 computer). Very frustrating when music I bought from Amazon is saved securely to my hard drive and is also playable on ITUNES. Apple's music won't even play on their own friggin program, but Amazon mp3's will???
*Next issue. I applied the new updates to my phone and my iTunes program hoping to correct the issues. This did nothing. I opted NOT to use Cloud at the moment for privacy concerns. Could this be adding to the issue with the iTunes music?
I also have over 100 songs that want to be re-downloaded from the iTunes application on my phone in order to allow those tracks to be available on my phone. I went from my phone into iTunes->More->Purchased->Music to find these. Do I have to go through each artist individually to re-download them all?
As you can see, getting very frustrated with Apple and their constantly malfunctioning softwares. Is this an issue I need to take with me to the Apple store? I went in before for iTunes issues and they said they wouldn't help me because I'm not using a Mac computer but a PC and they don't help people that use PC's, even though my iPhone5S and hundreds of iTunes tracks are from THEM. Should I just throw in the towel and buy a Samsung next time? Spending my whole day trying to figure this stuff out when it should be accessible being that I already PAID for all of this music, such awful software, jeeze louise.

Hello JackieVall213,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your purchased music has not downloaded automatically after pre-ordering an album. Please take a look at the information below on how to download pre-orders from iTunes if you do not have automatic downloads enabled.
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders - Apple Support

Take care,
Alex H.

Backed up iPhone apps not adding to library.

Recently moved my iTunes content to a network drive to free up space on my HD, now my iTunes apps will not sync to iTunes, error message 'The app ** could not be added to the iTunes library because an error occurred. An unknown error occurred (-50)'. I've done a quick google search and the results I am getting back are suggesting problems with .ipa files. Mine are .ipa files but all were purchased directly from the app store and my phone is not jailbroken. Anyone have any idea what's going on? When I moved my content and tidied up my file organisation, I deleted all my library preferences, files etc.. to effectively start again, seems like that wasn't the best of ideas lol! Any help would be much appreciated! I am using Mac OSX latest. Thanks :0)

Unlike music, you can redownload apps:

HT1473 I got my MAC PRO installed with iOS lion and since then i'm unable to add music on my iTunes and i tried adding to library option but still it copies and at the end it stays empty, doesn't even open new songs on it. any suggestions ?

hey,
I've rebooted my mac before installing new ios lion, so after everything was done i copied my data back to my mac book pro, then simple clicked on adding to library option in itune and it only synced half of the track and rest simply didnt copy, i thought maybe some error occured and i tryed the same procedure again but its not adding more tracks in it. and i just notice when ever i try play a new song through my data it does not open in itune these are the same tracks and songs i been listening to since ages on different note books and pods..
Help me i've tryed everything but nathing seems to be working. and my itune is uptodated =S

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Ovi Player / Ovi Suite Music not added to library

Ok more weird Ovi annoyances:
Ovi Music / Player does not add certain songs from my iTunes folders (all Non DRM m4a files) to its library, neither automatically nor does it let me add them manually.
However, if transferred to the handset (N97) manually they will play fine. They also play fine when opened via File|Open in Ovi Suite or Player.
I first noticed it with
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Israel Kamakawiwo'ole\Over the Rainbow - Single\ Over The Rainbow.m4a
Which I cannot add to the library in any way.
Ok, I thought, Ovi trips up on special characters, but
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\C'mon C'mon.m4a
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Men They Couldn't Hang\How Green is the Valley\The Ghosts of Cable Street.m4a
are both added just fine, while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\Not That Social.m4a
can again, not be added in any way.
Al right then, has to be that Ovi trips up over legal Windows path names that are too long for Ovi.
But
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Neon Trees\Animal-Single\Aniimal.m4a
can again not be added in any way while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark\Messages - Greatest Hits\1-03 Enola Gay (2003 Remaster).m4a
is added just fine.
Sometimes when trying to add an album, only certain titles are not added, while the rest of the album is.
There seems to be no pattern whatsoever to this behavior, since it's not path lengths or special characters tha keep songs from bein added, it's also nit file type related as there some MP3s i can't add as well.
Note that M$ Media Player 11 has no issues adding the same bits to its own library.
I run Win 7 Pro 32.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

It's getting weirder and weirder
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde
was successfully imported including the first track
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde\01 Hunderttausend Rosen.m4a
on another PC.
So the failures seem completely random, which would not be so tragic if you got a second chance, which you don't.
I'd still like to know what I need to delete to get rid of the entire music library. I just need OVI-Music / Suite to get some of my music to my phone and this should not be so tedious!
Ovi Suite seems to sotre stuff all over the place and you don't really know what's what, which makes fixing problems very frustrating.
iTunes keeps its stuff transparently in the same place, but then again I never had any such weird problems with it in the past 5 years.

I want to back up an Iphone 3G and put all the content into Iphone 4. When Iphone 4 is connected to Itunes I do not get an Option to restore from Iphone 3G. IOS 3G - 4.2.1

I want to back up an Iphone 3G and put all the content into Iphone 4. After I have backed up the Ipone 3G and then when Iphone 4 is connected to Itunes I do not get an Option to restore back up from Iphone 3G. The only devive is see in the drop down list is my Iphone 4. The IOS on Iphone 3G is 4.2.1 and on Iphone 4 is 4.1.
Please share if anyone has any solution to such a problem.

You will first have to update your iPhone 4 in order to restore it from the backup of your 3G. Follow the directions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
This is an erase/restore deal, so make sure all of your data is on your computer before you begin. iOS 6.1.2 will be installed on your iPhone 4.
Once done, on your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You'll now be able to restore your 3G backup to your iPhone 4.

How do you delete songs on iTune that are NOT on the library?

I got a new computer few days ago, and I downloaded iTune on my new computer today.
I want to delete all my songs that are in my iPod Touch now, and want to buy other songs.
I don't have any songs in my library at the moment, since there's no song in my new computer now.
So I want to delete songs, but since I don't have any of those songs in the library, I can't delete them. (I can't delete them since they are not on the library.)
Are there any ways I can delete songs that are NOT on the library?

You don't want to keep the songs that are on your iPod touch, in your library?
You can keep them in your library and not put them on the touch.
Then you can purchase other songs and put those on the touch.

"Add a copy of this File to iTunes music folder when adding to library" ???

why on earth is this feature a feature???
now that i finally realized what i have been doing all this time... i see that i have 1000's of dupes eating up HD space.
obviously when i add a song to my library - i want it in the folder i have chosen to be my iTunes music folder -- d'uh!!!
that is precisely where i added the songs to!
so can someone help me understand why i did this?
what need did i have to click this preference?
i know i made this choice...
what i want to know is if there is a reason to click it that i am missing the boat on?
thanks

hi nysepete,
why on earth is this feature a feature???
this feature is for copying files into the iTunes music folder when you are dragging/openning files into your library.
let's say you have a song file on your desktop that you just downloaded from Internet. if you double click on it or simply drag it into the iTunes windows, iTunes will automatically copy this file into your music folder. then, you can delete the file on your desktop since a copy have been made and referenced by iTunes.
if however this option isn't activated, the iTunes library will instead referenced the files in it's current location, i.e. in this exemple on your desktop.
personally, I keep the option checked so when I need to add files to the library, I know the will be managed by iTunes and then simply send the original to the trash. unchecking this option is mostly for people that want to manage files themselves outside the iTunes Music folder.

Exported Files(pictures) not Added to Library

Hello,
I installed Lightroom 4.4 recently. I have been using 2.x for years.
I exported a number of jpg files into a JPG subfolder. These jpgs were generated from cr2 files. The "add to catalog" option was selected. My problem is that not only the exported files/pictures were not added to the catalog but that I cannot add them manually (by syncing the upper-level folder).
I used to do it like this for years and it worked.
Any comments, ideas?
Thank you!

Hello,
Have you found where the files are being exported to?
Are they in the correct place? (IE. where ou expected)
Are you certain the first option of the export dialog was Export to: Same folder as original - and not - Specific Folder before electing a Subfolder of JPG?
Yes to all of the above. The new (exported) files are where I want them to be, i.e., in the same subfolder as the CR2 files. The CR2 files are in one sub-folder named CR2 and the JPG files are in the JPG subfolder named JPG of the same containing folder. I can see/browse/display the exported files in explorer. The export worked as expected and placed the newly generated jpg files in the right place. The only thing that did not work as I would expect it to was that the newly generated files (and folder) were not added to the library. If I remember well this is how my Lightroom 2 was behaving as well. This is not a big deal, or WAS not a big deal as in LT2 I would then synchronize the folder and bring all the exported files into the library.
My current problem is that syncing does not work as it used to; it does not list the JPG folder(s) (or any of the exported jpg files in these folders) as part of what to sync. The folders are physically there but they are not selectable or visible as part of the sync, as if they were already in the library (they are not) or as if they were deliberatly ommitted for some reason...
Do you have any filters active in Lightroom that would hide the jpgs?
I did not turn on any filters on. Where are the filters so that I could check if something is not on by default?
Thanks!

For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Imported tracks not available in playlists until download from cloud

Sometimes, playlists made of tracks imported from my CDs are not available to sync with iPhones or iPads. When I look at the tracks in My Music, they all have the cloud symbol by them. I can't get a playlist that includes them to sync to phone until I download from the cloud. Any idea why I have to do that? The tracks started out as imports on my PC in the first place. (If anyone can point me to good complete description oh how iTunes on PC works with the cloud, that would be very helpful.)

Hi,
To sync your music you iphone, the music needs to be physically in you iTunes library on your computer. So you will need to download then. Where do you keep the originals of the tracks as they would have had to be on your computer when you subscribed to match?
Your alternative is to turn on match so that all your music will be available from the cloud. You have the option to download tracks for use when you have no wifi connection.

How to recapture content downloaded from my CDs

My old computer died & I now have a new one. I was successfully able to download the latest iTunes & access my purchased content, but there doesn't seem to be a way to access the music I downloaded from my CDs. The Help content said I could do it if both computers have the latest software, but the old computer is dead, so that won't work. I remember doing this several years ago, & all I had to do was to log into my account & the content was there. Help!

As you have found, that only applies to the music that you have purchased from the iTunes Store. For the rest of your Library, you should have made a backup, on an external hard drive, or to an online service.
I think you may have to import the CDs again.
