Itunes doesnt display all music

I was cleaning out all my music, and searched for mp3, m4a files wihich show 12375, but itunes only show 12315, i am unsure which files its not showing,m but why is this, i even installed winamp, and it shows all files, like search does

Instead of deleting I just re-imported everything over the top so iTunes has the links again. Now more songs have imported but when I get to a certain group of songs it cancels the sync.
I can see all the imported music I import on my phone but most of it is not clickable to play.
What happened originally was I cancelled a sync mid way, since then when iTunes tries to sync it always cancels at a certain point. Is there a way to effectively clear the cache of iTunes so it doesnt remember cancelling the sync before. I have tried updating iTunes and it doesnt work. Maybe if I uninstall then re-install?
Thanks

IPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times and doesnt display all music

iPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times. When I manually manage music and re-sync it it still cancels the sync half way through, but shows all songs I manually copied on the phone within iTunes. On unplugging the songs dont display.
Have already tried changing the language, doing a hard reset, updating the itunes software, unchecking all songs and only checking the songs I want synced, deleting the songs that the sync stops at from iTunes. Still doesnt work.
Any ideas? Not too bothered about the syncing part if necessary I can manually move music I just need to know how to make it display on the phone when it is not plugged in to the computer?
Dont say wipe the phone and start again thats not an option for me.
Thanks

hI, bella
I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Click 'OK'.

Can iTunes search for all music on my system and rebuild the library?

Is there any way to make iTunes search for all music on my hard drive and completely rebuild the library from scratch?
Thanks.

do you know how to re-locate files to an existing library?
All of a sudden, about 2/3 of my songs (over 6,000) will not play and a box comes up saying "The song 'x' could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and have the correct (fixed) external drive letter selected for the folder location. and the files haven't moved, but iTunes isn't finding them. Restarted the computer making sure the drive was on.
I'd like to not lose all the ratings I've worked on. Hoping you or someone has a solution!!
thanks!

My iTunes library shows all music but there is an exclamation mark to the left on all entries and there is a message stating "original file could not be found" although all music is on the iPad.

The massage means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. All iTunes has is a database of where the files should be and they are not there.
Try:
- iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
- Redownloading iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

"Force" iTunes to find all music on a computer?

When iTunes is initially setup, it asks if you would like it to find and import all music on your computer. Is there a way to have iTunes find all music on your computer after the setup is complete?
The problem we're having is that music is scattered all over the place, and it would be nice to just have iTunes look for it all rather than do it ourselves. Of course, we declined the initial offer for iTunes to find all music.
Any thoughts?

You can reset the query by deleting the two iTunes' preferences files, both named "iTunes.pref" and tucked away in your "Documents & Settings\username" area. If you invested time in creating playlists & rankings, then you should make a copy of the ITL & XML files from "My Music\iTunes" before starting the process. I'm not quite sure of the results of resetting the preference files with existing playlist data which is stored in another file.
If you don't like the results, restore the ITL & XML files to their original location to restore your library to its previous appearance.

HT1386 itunes sync takes all music off iphone onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone?

itunes sync takes all music off iphone 4s onto pc. how do i get music from itunes on pc to the iphone 4s?

Under your device in iTunes, you need to make sure you have "Sync Music" enabled on iTunes under the music tab to tell iTunes to move the music it has over to your iPhone.
Take a look at this article for information on how to sync your iPhone using iTunes.

You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

ITunes Match displays all my music but won't download or play

I have just upgraded to Yosemite, doing a clean install. There are 2 user profiles - mine and my partner's. My partner's music appears to be playing fine. I have iTunes Match. I created my user account yesterday, logging in with my one & only Apple ID. I have turned iTunes Match on and it is displaying all of my music, playlists, movies and TV shows (all with the little cloud icon). However nothing is playing or downloading. Whenever I click to either download or stream a song I get a message telling me "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID" and telling me to wait 90 days. Surely this is not referring to my partner's user account on the same iMac? Otherwise what would be the point of having separate user accounts on a desktop? All my music is correctly stored in iTunes Match - now I want to listen to it. What has gone wrong here please? And yes, my user account has only 1 Apple ID and has been logged in with that since inception.

Apple have done something really screwy with Apple IDs on Yosemite. They've decided to associate an Apple ID with the device in its entirety, instead of with each user account.
I have two logins, one for my own personal account and one for a radio show I produce. The personal account has iTunes Match but the radio show accountt is just normal iTunes with iTunes In The Cloud. When I want to download music for the radio show, I switch to that account. I needed to download some of the music for that account and was warned that if I change accounts on this device I won't be able to again for another 90 days. I had no choice because I needed those files. But now when I go back to my personal login, I can no longer download any of my music from iTunes Match.
Fortunately, I have another device associated with my personal iTunes account and can download some of my music there instead.
This really needs to be sorted out!

ITunes not displaying all synced files that are on my iPhone.

All,
I am having an issue that I did not see here.
First, ever since the last iTunes upgrade (the one prior to the latest upgrade that added iTunes match), I have had problems with album artwork displaying on my iPhone. My efforts to solve that issue by deleting and then re-syncing tracks without artwork created another issue: Duplicate songs on my iPhone. The strange thing is, when the iPhone is connected to iTunes and I click "Music" under iPhone, the track list displayed in iTunes shows no duplicates. However, if I navigate on my iPhone (even while connected to my computer), it shows duplicates of several songs. The duplicates appear to be the ones that I tried to delete and then replace to show the artwork.
I have just done a "restore" on my iPhone to try to resolve the this issue since there apparently is no way to clear the duplicates in iTunes (remember - the duplicate tracks are not displaying). I will see if this solves the issue. Does anyone know what is happening here, and most importantly, how to prevent this from happening again? This is very annoying!

New version of ITunes installed - Not all music files are being recognized

My system crashed and Itunes was automatically 're-installed.' My music is located on my external hard drive. When I reconnected my music to ITunes about 3000 music files did not appear in my library. Before the re-install all music files were available in the library.
The music files are all still located on my external hard drive. Strangely, when I copied my music on my external hard drive to create yet another back up of my music many music files were missing on the copy. The missing files were a combination of downloaded music from a cd and purchased, no trend.
I welcome any advice on how I can get 1. my ITunes library to read all of my music files (which are in ITunes format) and 2. how do I copy all of my music on my external hard drive to make a safe back up (I-tunes back up is not an option because not all of the music appears in my library)
Thanks for your help

Using iTunes Match, Show All Music not working for one playlist

I am using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2. I just recently subscribed to iTunes Match and all of my music has been matched/uploaded.
When I turn on iTunes Match and Show All Music on my iPhone, all of my playlists show up but one of them is incomplete, and doesn't have an option to download the missing songs from the cloud.
So, for example, I have a playlist that on my Mac has 696 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, and they all appear as either already on my phone or downloadable. Most of the other playlists are the same: working as expected. But I also have a playlist that on my Mac has 58 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, but only nine of them appear on my phone (they were already there), and none of the remaining 49 are showing as available to download from the cloud.
Is it possible to fix this? I've had bad luck in the past deleting playlists on the phone with the goal of having them refresh during the next sync. (The bad luck involved my playlists being deleted in iTunes on my Mac after the sync.)

Hi Michael,
thanks for this, this helped me out as I just had the same issue but on my iPad lol.
Forgot about that setting even though I knew about it, just goes to show, out of sight, out of mind.

Switching iTunes folder and all music folders to new drive

My C Drive is getting bogged down. I would like to switch both the iTunes application including full library, and all my music folders from my C drive over to a new internal hard drive ("F").
So, 1. How do I move everything over to the new "F" drive?
And, 2. How will iTunes know that now all the songs are there? I mean, doesn't it look for their path as in the C drive? Will the path on all songs automatically change to list "F" instead of "C"? Do I have to manually change each song's path?
I'm not a computer wiz, but can follow simple directions!
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Chris -
OK. I get it. That iTunes folder stays on C. I just have to get over it, right?
So, should I eliminate that same iTunes folder from my F drive? Obviously, the libraries should stay on F (or it that not obvious?).
So, now let me pick your brain on my second question....
My understanding is that all of my music is stored in folders ("My Music" for example). They are located both on my F drive (my songs) and the C drive (my kids' songs). I want all music folders on my F drive - both mine and my kids'.
I've moved individual songs from C to F, and when iTunes goes to play them, it'll say - "Hey, I can't find this song anymore", and I'll have to click Browse and click on the new location (in F) so that it sees the song is there.
So, if I move the entire folder of kids songs to my F drive, will the individual song location paths change from C to F? Or will iTunes totally freak out, trying to locate everyone one of their zillions of songs?
Thanks in advance.

ITunes wiped out all music and playlists

This is a real problem as many of what I have loaded are teaching lectures and the titles were added at the ITunes level. What is on my hard drive are numbers that have no coorelation to the lecture title.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.
