ITunes Music not showing up in Library

I have read a number of similar questions on how to restore the music library. Of those I tried none worked. So, can anyone tell me:
How do I recreate the library so that it will pick up all music in iTunes Music folders?
Thank you,

When I disconnect my ipod from my computer all the music on my ipod dissapeares from itunes[
THat is working correctly.
The iPod is not connected so iTunes cannot see the iPod.
isnt it supposed to transfer to my library once I disconnect?
It cannot transfer when it is disconnected because it is disconnected.
Whats wrong with my Ipod/Itunes?
Dunno?
With the iPod not connected, do you have music in iTunes?
Does it play?

  • Music not showing up in library after drag and drop (7.0)

    Music will not show up in library after draging and dropping .mp3's into itunes. Also won't show up if I try the File > Add Folder to Library. The processing files box shows up like its going to work, but it just doesn't. I have tried many differnet mp3's, some actually DID import.
    Also, double clicking on an mp3 will bring up itunes, but it will not load or play the song.
    I currently have 55.5GB of music, and 10,158 songs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

    Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

  • Music Not Showing up in Library

    I have the latest edition of iTunes and just discovered something odd.
    Sometimes I drag & drop folders of MP3 music that I got from other sources directly into my iTunes Music folder.
    I just realized that this music does not show up in my Library in iTunes unless I specifically use the "Add Folder To Library" feature in iTunes.
    HUH?
    Is there any way to have iTunes atomatically scan the iTunes Music folder for new additions and automatically add them to the library? I can't understand why it wouldn't do this...but it's not.
    Help.

  • Itunes music not showing after accepting user agreement?

    I recently moved my itunes music to a new hard drive on my computer without any issues and it had been working fine for the last month or so but after starting up my computer today itunes has updated it's user agreement terms. After accepting the user agreement terms itunes started up but is not showing any of my music. I have the latest Itunes version 11.0.5.5 installed which was updated on the 17/8/2013. I also noticed today that Itunes has created a new itunes folder in the old location so I suspect that it is reading this library instead. How do I change the settings in itunes so it will show my music and artwork in the new location?
    Thanks,

  • Purchsed music not showing up in Library or created playlist

    I purchased music last night and successfully transfered the music to my iPod. Now I would like to listen to the music from my computer. However the files are not showing in my iTunes playlist or library. I can find all of the titles, in my Music folder (running Windows XP) but the titles are just shown as individual folders, without the music file for play. Problem - why isn't my purchased music shown in my iTunes library available for play today?

    Close iTunes, delete the hidden file called sentinel from the iTunes folder where your library files are stored and then restart. This should force iTunes to run an integrity check on the database which ought to resolve the problem.

  • Recently purchased iTunes songs not showing up in Library

    I'm a MAC user and am having issues with iTunes 11.   I have Match.  When I order a song off iTunes it doesn't show up in my library.  I search on my hard drive and it's not there.  I see it when I go to my purchased history within the iTunes store (Home page, down at bottom, Featured --> Purchased). There's a downward arrow next to the song, which indicates that it's available for download but it's not on my hard drive.  I download the song, and then it appears in my library.   This used to be ocassional but not happens every time.  Anyone have any idea of what's going on?
    What's weird is that when I purchase a song, the download arrow and status bar look like it's actually downloading something.  But believe me the song is not on my hard drive. 
    I've reinstalled iTunes twice.  Logged out and logged back in twice.  Kindof wishing I didn't install 11.  Customer service is not being all that helpful.
    Your help is much appreciated.

    I had the same issue and it was resolved with today's iTunes update to 11.0.1
    "This update to the new iTunes addresses an issue where new purchases in iCloud may not appear in your library if iTunes Match is turned on, makes iTunes more responsive when searching a large library, fixes a problem where the AirPlay button may not appear as expected, and adds the ability to display duplicate items within your library."

  • When transfering music into itunes, music not showing in itunes app, but songs are in music folder.

    when i transfered many songs from external hard drive into itunes library, the songs do not appear after transfer completes. it appears as if songs are being added to library. when i search through itunes app, songs are missing, when i go to the folder on computer that holds my itunes library songs are there. any help?
    latest version of itunes with windows 7.
    thanks

    Create a smart playlist that would match one of the albums. I suspect you'll find the tracks show up in it...
    My guess is that something has gone wrong with the internal index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should  fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes library folder, then start iTunes again. iTunes should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to clear up any anomalies.

  • Why is my music not showing on my account in 2 separate computers?

    Why is all of my music not showing in my library on 2 separate computers?

    Did you put your music on the computers?

  • I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

    you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere.  Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

  • ITunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library.

    Our PC running Vista froze up so we upgraded to Windows 7. iTunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library. How do I access my music?

    Dear Sirs,

    Hello there Jameskuo47,
    In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
    This section specifically:
    To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
    Note:
    iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
    latest iOS software here'
    Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
    Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
    Important:
    When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
    Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
    By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
