Itunes library won't update to all items in a folder

I aam new to iPod and iTunes. I now own the 4G ipod nano and installed itunes 4.9.0.17 from the install CD included with the player. When I drag the top folder of my stored MP3 collection itunes does not add all tracks. For example there is an artist folder that contains 3 album folders and all tracks for each album are stored in each album folder. They are all MP3 tracks. After the library updates I can only find about 7 of the 29 tracks in the library. Why is this?
Any help would be appreciated. I expected that iTunes would be very useable.
Thanks
Andy

Anything common about the ones that don't work? Such as those are ones you ripped on a different computer? Or that you ripped with something other than iTunes?

  • .mobi ebook into iTunes; library won't update

    I accidentally dragged a .mobi ebook file into iTunes instead of Kindle and now my library won't update. Searched library, can't find file. How do I fix this?!

  • ITunes library won't open at all??

    on my shared computer, all the other users can open itunes with no problems. but every time I try to open itunes, it says "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not h ave write permission for this file." I've reinstalled itunes multiple times already. what do i do?!

    Hey try this out:
    Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
    Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
    After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
    window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
    in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
    This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
    manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
    Let me know if this works out.

  • Ever since I bought my Iphone 5 my itunes Library won't update the play counts. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have been playing a band over and over again for the past few weeks and my itunes count is still at zero? does anyone know why this is or what I can do to fix it? thank you.

    I am having this difficulty now, too! When I select a voicemail to play, it looks like it will start, but quickly changes back to the "play" mode. I CAN pick up my voicemail by calling my own number, however!

    okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
    Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on?

    It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
    Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • There are purchased items on the iPhone "asingh's iPhone" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue?

    When I am trying to upgrade my iphone to IOS7.0.2 by connecting my my iphone and macbook, it shows "There are purchased items on the iPhone “asingh’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue? ".  I hit the same issue and lost a lot of apps from my iphone. Can someone help on how to resolve this issue? I can automatically upgrade my software on the iphone but how shall I resolve any future updates of "Apps"?

    I appreciate the answer, but what you describe is not entirely accurate.  First, to even see view, you have to enable the menu by clicking on the icon in the upper left.  View allows you to show the sidebar.
    Second, you will NOT see your devise listed in sidebar or anywhere else.  Instead, you have to click on "devise" from the sidebar menu, wait a minute, and then it will finally show up under "devise."   Or maybe it just takes a minute to show up whatever you do. 
    Third, right clicking on your devise will take you to a menu with "transfer my files" on it, but then iTunes will refuse to make the transfer.  Instead, it will tell you that <your apps> on your <devise> could not be transferred to iTunes "because you are not authorized for it on your computer."  Apple unhelpfully suggests going to store> authorize this computer.  There is a "store" menu item on the sidebar, but it has no "authorize this computer" sub-menu.  Instead, go to the horizontal menu at the upper left, and THERE you will find "store" and the "authorize this computer" sub-menu.  Now you can transfer your files, to who knows where.
    My iPhone 5 is my first Apple devise. So far my experience has been, to do A, which must be done right now, you must first do B.  To do B you must first do C, which is unexplained save in answers in user forums.  To do C you must first do D, which, after several hours of research and puzzle solving, can eventually be done.

  • HT1420 My Itunes Library will not open at all. the icon will spin when i click on it but it won't open

    My Itunes Library will not open at all. When I click on Itunes the icon spins and nothing will pull up. 

    Try resetting your device. Hold down the sleep and home keys, ignoring the red power down slider, and release the buttons when you see hte silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    You won't lose any data, it's juat the apple equivalent of 'control/alt/delete' and often clears up glitches

  • Reinstalled Tiger and now my iTunes library won't open.

    Hi. I reinstalled Tiger and now my iTunes library won't open. And I can't install the latest 10.5 version of iTunes on this Mac. How do I get an older version of iTunes that will run this library? Any other thoughts? Thanks!

    This is an issue alot are facing rightnow because the quicktime bundled with itunes is more "Up to date" for now than the stand alone is. Even when its removed some of its more updated registery keys are left behind.
    GO here and follow ALL steps for removing itunes and quicktime, apple updater and ipod updater EXCEPT DO NOT install itunes til you get to the bottom of the page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976

  • ITunes library won't sync with iPhone 5s

    My problem is on an iPhone 5S 16GB running iOS 8.0.2...
    Recently I had to remove my music from my iPhone in order to create space to apply the iOS 8 update. When I went to add the music back to my phone, there are songs in iTunes that won't sync. All of the songs I am trying to add back were on the phone before the iOS 8 update was installed. Up to this point I have not had any problems adding or deleting music from the phone / library.
    FYI, I am only using genuine Apple cords to connect to my computer, so generic cables are not an issue.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    iPhone 5s, iOS 8

    Same issue here, but on an iPhone 4.
    Tried multiple combinations of unchecking playlist, reboot mac, reboot phone ... nothing worked.
    Re-initialized the phone and bam .. music is synching.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck.

  • Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased  from I tunes.

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:

    You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
    Here is a good idea for when your done:

  • Please Help - My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic

    My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic 80gb. I try doing the trouble shooting steps on apple, but they still did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to add some newer music to my old iPod for listening in the car or when travelling. Thanks a lot.

    Hello dmbnewfie,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPod classic is not being recognized in iTunes when you connect it to your computer. I know you have tried some troubleshooting on the Apple website as well, but without knowing which steps you have completed, I would suggest working through the attached iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant.

  • Itunes library won't transfer, please help.

    Just bought a new PC and I am setting up two users. I followed the instructions for transferring my Itunes library via my external HD. It let me transfer mine (I am the admin) but when I follow the exact same procedure for my wife's user account it wont let me. I can hold down shift and see the library I copied to her music folder but it never lets me "Choose Library". It just opens the folder all the way down to a specific song. Any help would be great. I've been searching for hours. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply!!!
    The instructions I used were off this Apple Support site...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    I get both options to choose as well as create. I used choose when I did mine and it worked.
    I did copy her entire itunes library.
    This is exactly what is in the folder that I copied...
    (folders)
    Automatically add to itunes
    Downloads
    Mobile Applications
    Movies
    Music
    Ringtones
    Voice Memos
    (XML Document)
    Library
    I do not see a .itl file anywhere.
    I just looked on my file I copied that worked on my user name and I have (3) Itunes Database Files on it.
    Thanks so much for the help!!!

  • Itunes library will not close down all the way

    My iTunes library will not close down all the way.  When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

    You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
    Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
    Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.
