Itunes library not visible in Itunes

My Itunes library is there because I can update it but I cannot see the library in Itunes--only purchased stuff.

Have you tried clicking on "Music" in iTunes?
Yes and that is where my purchased music shows up but not my 6900 other songs.
My Itunes library is on an external hard drive. Maybe that has something to do with it....

Iphoto library not visible for itunes home sharing

Hello, I have an issue where my iPhoto library is not visible in iTunes Photo Sharing Preferences. I wish to have my iPhoto library (Aperture Library) available on my Apple TV. I have switched on Home Sharing. When I go to iTunes/File/Home Sharing/ then wish to select which photos to share, iPhoto is not listed in the preference pane. The only available option is my Pictures folder.
My library is on an external hard drive. When I try to point to it manually, the library is greyed out.
Any ideas? I have been using Home Sharing for a long time and have not had this before. I have latest version of iTunes and iPhoto. My library is an Aperture library. The external hard drive is Mac OS Extended format. There should be no issues there. I have done a check disk and a repair permissions also.

Hello, I have an issue where my iPhoto library is not visible in iTunes Photo Sharing Preferences. I wish to have my iPhoto library (Aperture Library) available on my Apple TV.
Does your joint Aperture/iPhoto library show in the Finder as "Kind Aperture Library"?
Then set your Photo Sharing to share from Aperture and not from iPhoto.
When I try to sync or share iPhoto libraries from iTunes, it will look for libraries "Kind iPhoto" and not sync with an Aperture library, even if it is the current iPhoto library.

ITunes Library not visible in iphone/ipad/appletv

I have a 2013 mbp, and 2007 imac. An ipad Mini, an iphone 5 and apple tv 3. All are updated to the most recent versions.
Both my mbp and my imac can "see" each other's itunes libraries and play them. So home sharing works.
My iphone, and ipad can see the mbp and imac libraries in their iTunes, however they cannot see them in Music.
The itunes remote works on both the ipad/iphone when looking at the mbp and imac.
The apple tv can happily mirror what is on both the mbp and imac. I can play itunes music happily on the apple tv from both.
The apple tv cannot see the itunes library of either the imac or the mbp in "Computers"
The apple tv happily mirrors the ipad and iphone.
I have duplicated the problem with different routers.
So home sharing sort sort of half works. It is weird. Suggestions?

Hello vette99coupe,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. It sounds like you may need to re-create your iTunes Library.

ITunes Library not visible in iPhoto

Several days ago, I installed a variety of updates to my G5. I went from OSX 10.3.9 to 10.4.2. I also went from iLife 4 to 5, updated my ipod, etc. In between the many updates, I went into iPhoto and played with slide shows. I was able to create several shows and import music into them. After my updates were done, the next time I tried to make a slide show, my iTunes library is no longer there. It shows the icons and all of the playlists underneath it. But you can't see any of the songs. My itunes and ipod are working fine. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

HI Patty,
check out these two movies and see if it helps.

Library not visible on itunes screen

When I open iTunes there's no longer a "library" shown on the screen and when I try to add something (mp3) from my computer's desktop I have no idea where it went (if anywhere). There's no file or folder on iTunes anymore that shows it like a "recently added folder." This is a mess and want to get it working again.

ITunes library not in default location doesn't show up as shared library

My iTunes library will not show up on my network as a shared library. It is not in the default location for Windows (Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes). I can find no reference anywhere that this should prevent a library from being seen by other iTunes users, yet that seems to be the case.
I have two other iTunes libraries on computers on my local network. Both show up on each other's machines, so this isn't a firewall issue. All my machines are running the same level of Windows XP Pro.
On one machine, I actually created a library in another location, then shared it. It was not visible. Once I recreated the library in the default location, it was again visible.
Does anyone have a any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I really don't want to copy/move what is now a very large library and there's nothing to indicate that this shouldn't work.
Thanks!
Michael Greis

Normally all you need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on one computer to <User's Music> on the other. If you've made things more complicated see make a split library portable.

All songs in iTunes cloud not visible in iTunes

I'm having an issue and something has obviously been corrupted. On one of my PCs, none of the songs which are in the cloud are visible in my iTunes any longer. iTunes says that everything has been updated and is working properly but I have no access to those songs. And it's not that they're greyed out, they're completely gone and not visible. I've tried de/re-authorizing my computer, turn off/on itunes match, update itunes match, sign out of itunes altogether, uninstall/reinstalling itunes and lastly I moved the iTunes folder on my hard drive to somewhere else hoping that iTunes would rebuild its index. No luck with any of these solutions. When I turn off iTunes Match and then turn it back on, it does say I now have access to all 5000+ of my songs but when I go to the songs list, only the couple hundred songs which are on my hard drive are visible, nothing else. I know the songs are in the cloud; all my devices and other computers can fully access and play everything. I'm out of ideas, what else can I do to make iTunes Match update my library here because it thinks that everything's okay when it's not. Also, I need to get this working in the next week or so because my iTunes Match is due to renew and if I can't get this computer to access anything then there's no point for me to pay for iTunes Match when it no longer works. Thank you for your help.

i did get the message that it couldnt go to the ipod because it couldnt be found --- so i "located" the file in itunes, then they went on to the ipod. but i dont get that message any more, i also checked to see if there were songs unchecked and there arent
this is weird to me
any other suggestions?

Gen2 ATV not visible in ITUNES 10.1.54, any others?

Cable-connected.
Have opened port 3689TCP and 5353UDP in NETGEAR FIREWALL.
I can see ATV in the firewall, it gets syncronized, it has an IP,
but not visible in ITUNES, Weird.
I can see my library in ATV etc..my computer..
The ICON ATV in ITUNES was there when I had Gen 1.
HAve done a total factory reset, entered all info and such, started homelibrary etc.

ATV2 won't show up on your library list as it does not store any media on the internal storage other than buffering. Where as the ATV1 had a hard drive with media stored on it would appear in the pane as shared media.

ITunes Match says music was matched, but it's not visible on iOS devices

I have a library of 16,000+ songs in iTunes. I understand some of my music won't be available, but what's puzzling me is this:
- iTunes Match (the iCloud icon) indicates a song/album was MATCHED (in this case, Opeth's "Blackwater Park" and Amon Amarth's "Versus the World").
- In the Music app on my iPhone 4S, other songs/albums by those artists are available for download, and I have successfully downloaded them. However, those albums are not visible to download.
- "Show All Music" is enabled under Settings -> Music.
So, as the title says, iTunes on both computers have iTunes Match enabled, and both say those albums are "Matched", but they're not visible as available for download on my iPhone 4S.
Any ideas?

Actually, the cloud icon next to a song in your library means iTunes is "waiting" for a result for the song. To find out what the actual status of the song is you should turn on the iCloud Status column in the iTunes Browser. Pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status." You'll see one of several statuses next to the song. The most common will be "purchased," "matched," "uploaded," "waiting." If the songs you have questions about have an cloud icon next to them in the iCloud Download column then the status will probably be "waiting" which means the matching process is not complete yet. When a song is "matched" it will not have a cloud icon next to it.
When you click the iTunes Match entry in the left-hand column what do you see?

I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere in iTunes for me to watch.

I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere for me to view. Usually in the iTunes menu there is an option call 'rentals' where rented movies sit until they expire, this is no longer visible. The movie files are listed in the finder under music/movies.... With the rest of my iTunes data, but they will not play in iTunes from there and I can't add them to my library for watching.
The only thing I am currently doing differently is that I have just subscribed to iTunes Match; would this affect my rentals?

Hi Cmcb,
Under your Library list, you should see "Movies". Click on that, and you will see a screen with several tabs at the top - Rentals, Unwatched, Movies, Genres, Home Videos, etc.
As Hackintosh indicated above, click on the Rentals tab, and your movies will be displayed there. Doulbe click on one to start playing it.
If you do not have your sidebar showing, go up to View at the top, and click on Show Sidebar. Then you will see your Library lists on the sidebar, which will include Movies.
Cheers,
GB

Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share. Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when I connect my iPad2. I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes.
PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

This is not a reply but an addition. While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
I went through this promising procedure but it did not help. Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.

My iPod Touch 4g not visible in Windows or iTunes

My iPod Touch 4th generation is not visible in Windows or iTunes. It also doesn't seem to want to charge. I've tried the Troubleshooting Assistant but nothing happened. Any ideas? It was working fine last night, and this morning started acting wonky.

2nd gen iPod not visible on Desktop or in iTunes

I have a 40GB 2nd gen iPod that works fine and until recently always appeared on the Desktop and in iTunes whenever connected. Haven't had any problems with the iPod or iTunes. Now it is not visible at all but it does still recharge.
It's connected with FireWire 400 but it doesn't show up in System Profiler or Disk Utility.
I've reset it. I've forced Disk Mode. Nothing works.
Another thing... I have my whole music collection stored on an external LaCie drive and connected to the laptop with FireWire 800. iTunes works fine, though, whenever I connect the iPod to the laptop, iTunes stops playing (the spinning colorwheel appears) and as soon as I disconnect the iPod, I hear the external drive kick in and iTunes resumes playing.
Please help! Thank you.

Thank you for your reply, socrates.
I always connect the iPod into my Powerbook via FireWire 400 and the external LaCie is connected to the laptop via FireWire 800. So, there is no daisy-chain setup.
Actually, I've just realized that my iPod is 3rd generation not 2nd. When I looked at the "Settings" on the iPod it says Version: 2.3 so I thought that meant 2nd generation but just discovered otherwise. Is there any way that I can change the title of the thread?
And any more advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
