ITunes Music Library, Songs view empty

Hi All,
iTunes 11.1.1.11 on Windows 7.
I have plenty of songs and I can see them in the Music Library > Albums view. But the Songs view is empty. What's up with that?
Any assistance gladly appreciated!
Rob

  • Bug: iTunes Music Library Not Showing Song Name Category

    As the title says: the iTunes Music library does not the track/song name category.
    I realized this after clicking "Auto Size All Columns" after a fresh install of iTunes. The track/song name disappears from the current view, and isn't an option when right-clicking the categories.

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

    How do I get the Itunes Music Library to stop showing and asking me to purchase the songs I have drug in for playlist?

    If I make a playlist of my favorite Sax players by dragging there songs from their homepage into my playlist not purchasing them.  Those songs appear along side my regular songs in my overall music library with option to buy them.  The only way to get rid of them in my Music library seems to be to delete the playlist.

  • How do I delete ringtones on my iPhone 5 that I created from songs in my iTunes music library?

    I created several ringtones for my iPhone 5 from songs in my iTunes music library but they are only 1 second long.  I need to delete them and recreated them so they are 30 seconds long.  How do I remove them from my iPhone and iTunes?

    No -- an iTunes sync has no effect on photos in the Camera Roll; each time you sync using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes setting/selections.

    I have a few thousand songs in my itunes music library, when i connect my ipad that has only 50 songs on it will it overwrite the songs in my itunes library

    I had previously syncd the ipad and the songs on it, then loaded songs from an old ipod into the itunes account (using irip) and now the ipad songs that were in the itunes account are gone.  Can I change the auto sync settings before reconnecting the ipad again as to not lose the songs from my old ipod.

    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. 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!

  • ITunes Music Library.xml not updating when adding new songs

    I have about 150.000 music tracks on my iMac and iTunes didnt have any difficulty with it. When using the songs in DJ program Native Instruments Traktor Pro, this program checked the latest update of the iTunes Music Library.xml file and everything went ok. Whenever I changed a smart playlist or added songs, my Traktor looked at the updated .xml file and Traktor updated it's own files.
    SUDDENLY, and I dont know why, this iTunes Music Library.xml file did not update anymore. Whenever I change a song or add a song, the 'update date' in my finder next to the iTunes Music Library.xml file stays the same (1 May 2010) This means my DJ software does not show the updated/added songs...
    Plse help... what should I do... I am a professional DJ and I especially bought this iMac for the purpose of DJ'ing. Because of this issue, I can't use it anymore...

    try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.

  • Playlists empty, no iTunes Music Library file

    Is it possible to recover songs from a playlist?
    I was reading over some posts on the subject, which mention moving the iTunes Music Library file. I see the iTunes Library file, but not the iTunes Music library file.
    Thanks for any help!

    I don't know exactly what you mean by recover songs from a playlist. What are you trying to do?
    The two library file terms are the same, just differ with iTunes versions.

  • Help with itunes music library view

    My itunes library view is only showing purcahsed items, not my full music library.  I've checked advanced preferences and am pointed to the correct library and all my files are there but they aren't showing in the library view?  I'm terrified to sync my devices and lose all of my music and playlists.

    I can't find any file with an .itl extension (but I can't find one on our other Mac, either, so it isn't just my MacBook). In addition to the iTunes Music Library.xml file, there's a file [on both our Macs] that's simply called "iTunes Libary" (the file kind is listed as "iTunes Database File") and that's the other file I read not to touch or delete.
    Would that be the one?
    It says it was created on July 3rd and last updated yesterday, so if that does turn out to be the one, then that really could be the end of the playlists. July 3rd was the day I first started trying to move my library (and failed, as the new HD was defective and ate everything I put on it before imploding, so I'm putting everything back in the original location). I didn't read the instructions not to touch the .xml file until Friday or Saturday, and I can't remember if I checked to see if the playlists were still there between the 3rd and yesterday. So it's possible I did accidentally delete it on the 3rd.
    But I think I was still seeing stuff in my playlists over the weekend, and looking at my Recent Tracks Played list on Last.fm, it looks like I was listening to stuff on at least one of my iTunes playlists on the 5th. I'm pretty sure they were still intact after the 3rd.

  • ITunes Music Library: View (at top right on version 7)

    When selecting the third view in iTunes Music Library (to display album covers flip; such as in a juke box) this message is displayed. "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer." Now, what I can't figure out is why ... because I had previously been able to see this feature before. Any thoughts out there would be greatly appreciated.
