ITunes doesn't find all my songs in Windows7

After I install iTunes in Windows 7 I have over 5000 songs in C:\laptop\music and iTunes only shows 260 songs. How can I get it to find the remainder of my songs?

Good afternnon from rainy Livingston in Scotland people.
I seem to have a similar problem to L Anderson from Belgium.
Two months ago I had to re-format the hard drive on my laptop as there seemed to be a lot of problems. I re-loaded all the software for my laptop, and then downloaded iTunes version 10. I now find that my iPhone (3GS) cannot synch all my music and audiobooks from my phone to iTunes. All iTunes seems to synch is the items that were bought from the iTunes store and the iTunes apps. All the other music that I copied from CD's does not synch: also, I spent a sum of money upgrading my songs from the iTunes store and again, iTunes does not synch them to my iPhone. Also, when I click on Devices in iTunes, my iPhone is recognized, but I cannot see my music or audiobooks.
Please help!!!!

Itunes doesn't add all the songs from my library

Hi,
Had to reinstall Itunes and now the program doesn't add all the songs from my library (roughly 4,000 songs). All that is added is maybe 20 songs, and always the same ones. It has worked perfectly before.
I have tried to "pull" all the artist folders into the Itunes window, but it doesn't work. I have tried to set another folder as the Itunes library and then choose "add new folder", but only those 20 songs are added. I have made sure so that none of the files are copy protected or "read-only".
Please, help!
Best regards,
Jonas

Ok, I deleted the two files and upon startup iTunes did run that search wizard for music files. However, it only found 4 songs that are located on local harddisks, and did not (as far as I could see on the network status) even try to search on the network harddisk.
One more thing though, that I forgot to mention before. I tried to solve this situation by installing an earlier version of iTunes... 4.6 i think, but when I tried to run the program it told me something like "Cannot read the file iTunes library.itl since it was created by a later version of iTunes". Where can i find that file, and should i remove it and try to add the songs with iTunes 4.6 instead?
(Thanks so much for all your help!)

ITunes doesn't sync all my songs.

I've put some of the songs from my computer to iTunes, plugged my iPod Touch into the computer, iTunes has recognised the device, I've clicked on my iPod, gone to 'Music', selected 'selected playlists, artists and genres', 'include music videos', 'include voice memos' and then I've selected the artists and playlist I want to go on my iPod, then clicked 'Sync'. Out of the 165 songs in the playlist I synced, 11 songs haven't synced to the iPod, and about 5 or 6 of the different artists I selected haven't synced to the iPod. A few of the artists/songs, I've been able to sync before, whereas some of them, I have tried time after time and they've never been synced, but since I updated my iPod and iTunes, through iTunes, they're not all syncing.
So I went to www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch and searched all over apple's support pages, but could find nothing to help me, even though there was mention of help with syncing problems on the iPod Touch support page (underneath the link from said page to the troubleshooting assistant it said 'resolve common syncing and network issues and more' but all it gave me on those pages was the regular advice, which I'd already tried, like restart the computer, check the USB port, ect)
Any idea why I'm having these problems?

A video that previously synced now isn't, also.

Itunes can't find all my songs. how to tell iTunes where they all are

i had to re-install a new hard drive and i downloaded and installed iTunes. i have all my iTunes songs on another drive. i saved the itunes library file and now when i open iTunes it shows all my albums and songs but when i try to play them they won't play. if i double click on a song i can tell iTunes where the song is and it will play but i don't want to have to do that to every track. how can i tell iTunes where all my songs are? i tried to Add Folder to the library but it only gets so far and says that it doesn't have the room for all the songs or something like that. i don't want all that media on the c drive anyway. how can i get this to work? thanks

It comes up with a 1428 error message sometimes, and sometimes it says that I have to restore my iPod. I have restored it many times, but it just keeps going in a circle and will not sync my songs back to the iPod.
hmmmm. if you're relentlessly getting a recovery mode message, then you might be having a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions with that:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

ITunes doesn't load all of my music

For some reason iTunes doesn't load all the songs that's in My Music folder. I have over 3500 songs in that folder but it only imports 451 of them. I never had this problem until today. Can anyone tell me what's wrong

Yes,
Let's move the discussion from the iTunes for Mac to the iTunes for Windows forum.
Thanks,

I'm going through the same thing, I've tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer and that seems to help. I haven't gotten all my songs back yet, but I've got about 75% of it back.

HT4914 When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?

I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.
Peace Out.

My Top Rated songs, when I synch my iP4S - comes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong?

When synching, itcomes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong? This happens every time so I click them and it sorts them (boring with 200 odd). How can I prevent this?

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.

Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.

Your feed is at http://blacktribbles.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
When subscribed to in iTunes the recent episodes show, but the Store hasn't updated for some time.
There appears to be an issue with the feed. In the episode 'WRESTLING MARCH MADNESS: Final Bracket & Championship' of 31st March you will find in the 'description' tag the following line:
4. KURT ANGLE
At the end of this line is an invisible character which seems to be wrecking the feed - although it works OK when suscribing in iTunes it won't load in a browser (and I also found the feed very slow to load, which won't help matters with the Store)
This sort of thing usually happens when you paste text in from a word processing application and manage to include one of the invisible control characters. I don't know how easy it will be do do it in Podomatic but you should delete that entire line and retype it to remove this charter.
You should keep an eye on the time it takes the feed to be accessed - if there is a long enough delay (and it was quite some seconds when I tried) the Store may well timeout and fail to read it. At the moment it's showing a cached version from the last time it was able to read it.

ITunes doesn't find Airtunes when connected with cable, only WiFi

I have an Apple TV with Airtunes enabled. But apparantly, it's not possible to connect to it from PC's who are connected to LAN with cable instead of WiFI? Does anyone know why?
More details:
I have 3 PC's:
PC 1: , Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12 (latest)
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 2: 100% fresh install of Windows 7 32-bit and iTunes 9.1.1.12
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 3: Win 7 32-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12
Netbook - connected through WiFi
Apple TV device (latest firmware) is connected to same LAN using cable as well. *All PC's can ping the Apple TV without problems.*
So the problem is that iTunes doesn't find the Airtunes device (the output dropdown selector doesn't show up). I first tried on my main PC (PC1). It didn't work, so i tested on PC2 (wich is a fresh install of both OS and iTunes!), but same problem there.
But then the weird thing happened. I tried to install on my netbook, and it worked! Only difference is that the netbook was connected through WiFi. I don't see why that would matter, but just for fun i tested to disconnect WiFi, and connect with cable and boom - airtunes selection dissappeared! As soon as I disconnected the cable and reconnected WiFi, it appeared again.
Why on earth would Airtunes only work on WiFi? As you can see on this screenshot, network configuration is equal on Wifi and cabled connection. (Apple TV has IP 10.0.1.30)

It's supposed to be able to cope with slightly different file & folder structures, missing track numbers, all tracks in just an artist folder, everything in Unknown Artist\Unknown Album etc. Details here. Can you give me an idea of how things are set out? Maybe it needs a little tweak to cope with the way you've done things, or we could use something like MediaMonkey to reorganize what you have into something the script can work with.
I'm going to be out for much of the day but I'll look in on this thread later.

How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?

How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums?

How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums when the artist has many collaborators on the different songs, for example Timbaland? I want to just listen to the full album with all the songs, instead of having to play every song separately.

For your solution, see Steve MacGuire's helpful article: http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

I recently update my iTunes and it deleted all my songs. I was able to get some back via iCloud but I can't seem to sync my old playlist. Any suggestions??

Preview Doesn't Find All Searched Text in PDFs

I downloaded a PDF copy of my home insurance policy and I had it opened in Preview. The pages are displayed in the side bar. When I type in a search query such as "building" or "personal" or "dwelling" it doesn't find all occurrences if any yet I know there should be plenty of hits.
I guess I can try Adobe Acrobat.
Thanks for any advice.
