Itunes did not import all of my songs

I attempted to add over 600 songs to itunes several times, however it only took 395 songs each time. I'm using itunes version 4. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone?

ITunes does not import all artists/songs from folder

I have had several issues with getting itunes to import all the music I have. I have selected the folder that I want itunes to be associated with. But when I go into itunes not all the artists imported. However, if I select add a folder, and then the artist, it imports the artist. I have tried to add the whole folder again, but still does not import all the artist/songs. At first I didn't think that I had imported the CDto the folder, but then when I went into my music folder it was there.
A couple of times when I have opened iTunes it was like starting over. I lost my playlists. I am not as concerned in getting those back as long as I won't lose all the changes I am now making. We also own two iPod shuffles, don't know if that makes a difference.
Thanks inadvance for any information!

I had a similar problem with a Jimmy Buffett album,I sent the iTunes store an e-mail described the problem including the album title and receipt number and within 24 hours they responded and had done a "reset" and problem solved.
Give it a try

ITunes will not import all songs!

On every CD that I've tried to import songs from, iTunes won't import every song. It just freezes up. I know that it isn't the CD drive because all of the songs were ripped into Windows Media Player. I have even tried to import just one song, but still the same problem. Some songs will be in the Library before the freeze, but will disappear after it. On a few CDs, only half of the tracks were imported. Please help me!

First look at the CD and see if its protected.
Secondly goto the PC makers site (If the CD Burner came witht he PC when you bought it) and look for updates for your model, like Firmware updates for the CD ROM and BIOs/chipset updates for the system.

Backed up iPhone BUT iTunes did not copy all my apps!

My gosh, iTunes must be one of the most frustrating tools in the world.
From the screen area that states: Manually Back Up and Restore, I select Back Up Now.... this process oddly only needs about 1 minute to backup my iPhone (with about 160 apps on it).
When I look at the app list, there are still many apps missing, such as:
Any.Do (great to-do list app)
All my Synology Apps (for my SAN device)
etc.
BTW, why the heck isn't there an option to see the apps in folders - simulate the placement and folders of the iPhone?
Underneath this back up option is a Sync option... I tried this and it did something but I am unsearch what! All I know is that it did not help!
Never mind all that above... seriously, all I want to do is duplicate all my contents from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5. This should not be rocket science!
I think it should be an major embarrassment that something I can do between two Samsung Android phones is so friggen complicated between to iPhones! Yes, I have complained to Apple (this is my second iPhone trade-up) and never heard back from them the first time. That first time, I just ended up starting over! Grrr...
Anyway, enough rant.
I've gone to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109
...and selected, "Using iTunes to transfer information from your current iOS device to a new one"
Naturally, if I cannot successfully get past step 2, this isn't going to work.
Questions:
1. Can anyone please explain why I cannot backup all my apps and tell me how to fix this problem?
2. Can anyone suggest a better 3rd party backup and restore tool (for any price!)? I am sick of waiting for Apple's Windows iTune team to fix this inept tool! I don't mean to fight... but seriously, either this team has no budget or they are clueless to its serious shortcomings.
Sorry, I am just a little bit annoyed and expected better from Apple.

Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked.
Open iTunes
Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE. Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc. Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS. In that area click - Purchased
After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes. Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices.
Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased. You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone.
Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name. Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on.
Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in. Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.
The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

ITunes did not acknowledge all of the CDs on my computer

I have a new laptop running Windows 8. I moved all my music files to the new computer. On the old one they were in WMP (Windows Media Player format). On new laptop installed iTunes and did a a search for music. It only acknowledged 12 of the 39 CDs. Said protected files would have to be converted. When I clicked yes to do that, got the message that it couldn't be done without hard copy of CD. I don't have any of them, put them all on the computer to save space and reduce clutter. Am I out of luck? I'm wanting to use an iPod Classic that a friend sold to me. Thanks

So the files are on your computer in WMA format, originally from a music CD, but they have some kind of DRM (copy protection). That's odd. If you had ripped a music CD using iTunes, the resulting song files would NOT have any type of DRM. Why would Windows Media Player put DRM on songs files from a music CD?
iTunes cannot play WMA files at all, but the Window version of iTunes can convert WMA files to MP3 or AAC format. However, if the files have DRM, iTunes will not be able to convert them. That is probably why iTunes wants the origiinal CDs, so that it can rip the songs into the iTune library directly.
So, unless you know of a "Windows way" to remove the DRM, you won't be able to use those protected WMA files with iTunes.

Anyone know why iTunes is not syncing all my new songs to my iPhone?, Anyone know why iTunes is not syncing all my new songs to my iPhone?

i am running Itunes 10.5 on a mac and ios5 on my iphone 4, i have ticked the box in iTunes to sync all my music files however iTunes is refusing to sync a few songs, particularly 1 i downloaded yesterday and i do not know why?
Anyone have any remedies??
Many thanks

I was syncing over wi-fi but i attempted it by hardwiring and it still didnt work.

HT1267 my iphone restored automatically, and now i have lost everything, including apps, contacts, texts etc...i cannot retrieve apps from my itunes as my new itunes did not have all the apps, due to rebooting my comp..can someone help on how i can retrei

My phone automatically restored, and now i have lost everythig apps,contacts,texts..i mean everything.... and my itunes does not have anything as my computer had to be reboot,due to a new hard disk...
Can someone help,i really need my contacts back asap....

well i put my phone on charge, when the connect to itunes icon appeared.therefore, resulting in restorage of the phone.
The prompt to connect to iTunes is automatic, but not the restore process. You must manually select restore. There is no automatic restore.
in order to re-download apps, i will need to re-purchase...and i cannot afford the amount,
Read the link I provided. Had you done so, you would know you do not have to re-purchase apps when re-downloaded.
but to be honest, i am concerned about my contacts. which have completely disapeared and i just want them back.
Unless your contacts were synced with a supported address book app on your computer as designed and intended and your contacts were included with your computer's backup, or unless your contacts are available online with a free Apple iCloud account, with a free Yahoo account, or with a free Gmail account with all providing the ability to sync contacts over the air, your contacts are gone.

CC 2014 did not import all preset

I migrated several presets and everything worked sort off. Importing did not work completely. I have a lot of custom patterns, that where not migrated over. What can be done to correct this problem?

If you have saved pattern sets in *.pat files you can load these into Photoshop. If you the source files you can define the patterns again. If you still have Photoshop CC installed you can try copying your CC preferences patterns to your CC 2014 Preferences. On Windows 7 the file on cc is:
"C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Photoshop CC Settings\Patterns.psp" you would copy that to:
"C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings\Patterns.psp"

Photos did not import all my iPhoto images

I have an iPhotos Library containing over 33,000 photos. When I attempted to import them into the new Photos app only 22,000 came across. I tried to open the old library again with iPhoto using the library in the same folder (Pictures) but the same photos were missing. Photos had obviously done something ,to not only fail to import all my images into the new library but had also removed them from my existing iPhoto Library as well. I suspect that there is a problem with Photos creating a large SQL database. I have repeated this a second time but with the same result.
The only work around I can find is to delete both the iPhoto and Photos libraries from the folder and recover yesterday's iPhoto library backup from Time Machine. Now when I go back to iPhoto all my photos are there again. This means that I have to keep using iPhotos and not continue with Photos until this problem is fixed.
Does anyone else have an answer?

Try repairing the iPhoto Library and see if that comes over correctly.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

ITunes is not syncing all of my songs in my library to my iPhone

I have the latest macbook retina model 15 inch, syncing with an iPhone 6 plus. Please help me out here guys, why aren't all my songs syncing. Most of my songs are purchases, no corrupt files, all purchases are authorized for my computer ... can come genius please help me why all my songs aren't syncing. I have 1512 that all play on my macbook and will shuffle no problem. Yet in the iTunes summary it shows 1506, and on my phone it only shoes 1503.
Please help. Cheers

How is your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?
You can check to see how your iPod is configured to sync music from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes. To access this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under Devices. This should bring you to the iPod's Summary pane. Locate the Music tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure what and how music is synced to your device.
If you make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.

HELP!!!

The apple store has changed my phone. But when I got the new one i did not have all the songs and apps that i bought. WOuld you please help me to retrieve them back to my iphone. thanks

The apple store has changed my I broken Iphone to a new one. But when I got it, i did not have all my purchased songs and apps in it.

You will need to plug it into your computer and re-sync them from iTunes. The iPhone is meant to be synced/backed up to iTunes on your computer on a regular basis. It is NOT a primary or backup storage device.

ITunes does not import certain files

Hi everyone,
I had to reinstall my WinXP system and therefore also reinstalled iTunes (v9.0.3.15). Now, when I imported my whole MP3 directory, iTunes did not import some albums without displaying any error message. When I realized that some albums are missing, I tried to import them using drag&drop from the Windows Explorer, using the "File-Import file", "File-Import directory" (or whatever these menu items are called in english...), but nothing works! iTunes simply does... NOTHING. No error, no file imported, no action at all.
The files are fairly typical MP3 files: 192 kbps, 44kHz, ID3v1, ID3v2 both present, no DRM... And the most weird fact is: on my old WinXP system (same machine, but slightly older iTunes version) iTunes did import the files without problems!
I have no clue why iTunes won't import them. Does anybody else have an idea?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
gehho.

Hi ed2345,
thanks a lot for proposing the MP3 Validator! This fixed my problem. For others having a similar problem: I used this software: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html
However, I must say that I am really annoyed about iTunes and Apple. I mean, what kind of design is it when you say: "We do not accept slightly invalid files, although every other player accepts them. And most important: We do not display an error message to the user, so that he/she has to find the problem him/herself! Ha!" This is really extremely bad user experience, and I always thought Apple was known for their innovative path, especially regarding user experience. Pfff...
There are sooo many other things that annoy me; I think I will not buy any Apply product anymore. In my eyes, they have even overtaken Microsoft in being the most user-unfriendly company on the market:
1) You HAVE to use iTunes to copy files on your iPod instead of just using the iPod as a USB drive. What is this for??? It's just to promote their stupid iTunes which again introduces new problems.
2) iTunes obviously does not accept ID3v1 tags. It just displays all my MP3s which only have v1 tags as "Unknown". Come on, every other MP3 software supports ID3v1, why does not iTunes???
3) The import process in iTunes is such a hassle. Instead of being able to observe a directory for new files, you have to add every single new album manually. Of course, only after you validated it... Moreover, you cannot add multiple directories at once using the menu options - you have to do it with drag&drop; and it took me some time to try that.
4) EDIT: Another point just came to my mind: When importing a whole directory, iTunes is stupid enough to add all files once again, instead of just adding the new files. Therefore, you really have to know which album is missing in iTunes because otherwise you will have lots of files twice or three times or hundred times.
OK, that's enough for now. I am just really pi**ed off because I was playing around with those "invalid" files for about 5 hours. Might also be that it's me who's the stupid one - if so, please tell me. But from a company like Apple, I expect a software which is easily handled even by absolute newbies, and I would not call me a newbie...
Anyway, have a nice day everyone, and happy validating!
Thanks again to ed2345! The comments above were not meant for you! It just came out of my fingers... Btw: As you asked my to pick my interpretation... I would pick "INCOMPETENT" - completely!

24 minute video did not import

this and another video did not import. all the regular photos did.
video from another camera imported a video earlier so I know its working.
did not get any error message that the file was too big, etc.
Ideas as to why the videos did not import? File too big? If so, how to fix?
The videos are on a card on a Nikon Coolpix camera.

thx. most videos taken are 1-3 minutes. One of the kids cranked out a long video and no one knew what to do about it. Never knew about image capture. Thx for the help. All the vids downloaded fine as you instructed.
