ITunes Not Adding All Files?

Hey guys...
I have recently purchased an Ipod Classic & have a little problem with iTunes. I'm not unbelievably computer minded so it's most probably user related. I'm trying to add my music folder which is 70GB but when I do it only adds 61GB. Any reason why? All the files are the same & most are off CDs. I tried & experiment, I deleted all the songs out of iTunes & tried to add just one which was one of the ones which didn't wanna be added. When I try adding this file it just doesn't do anything. No popup or error saying it can't add it, it just doesn't show up in my bare iTunes list. The file is MP3, which will play on every other media player software I have on my computer. Please why won't it play through iTunes? And is there a way to fix it?
Thanks

Later versions of iTunes have become fussy about tags in MP3 files. If the files are in your library, they won’t play and if they are not in your library, iTunes will not add them, but it doesn’t tell you why.
You can try running one or two of the files you can’t add through a MP3 Validator. There is a great explanation of how it works [here|http://trevinchow.com/blog/tag/mp3-tag-validator]

  • ITunes not adding all songs in an album?

    Hi all,
    i've noticed i've added a new album of music to my itunes, however when I sync this to my iPhone 5 not all the songs are transferred over? This has happened more than once.
    I have my music syncing set to push over all the songs, however it pushes over only a few (the current one had 18 songs and I got 6 synced over complete with the album art).
    Any ideas?

    I have experienced the same thing for months now and was in false belief that there was something wrong with my songs. iTunes should go through all songs and play them randomly. There is absolutely no excuse for this not to work properly. Repeat option is completely separated. It's purpose is to play songs indefinitely. It shouldn't be necessary to turn repeat on for iTunes to play all songs while shuffle is on.
    I will just never be able to comprehend how is it possible for people who make this software for years not to see this problem while they test the application (if they do that at all) and fix it. This is just ridiculous and pure nonsense.

  • Itunes not syncing all files to ipod - permissions error

    With the newest verison of itunes is not syncing all of my files to my ipod - this is so frustrating! I have taken itunes/quicktime completely off my dell and reloaded with the newest version of itunes/quicktime. Changed to manually managing my ipod files. Now I have 2 problems left - 1. 2 recently purchased audio books show up in my ipod file in itunes but do not show up on my ipod; 2 I can ony get 100 of 500 songs to load onto the ipod with a warning that I do not have permission for the rest.

    Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
    Any suggestions would be helpfull

  • ITunes not importing all files in a folder

    Hi everyone. I'm currently having some problems importing music into iTunes. When I select a folder to import, it only imports a select few, and the others it sort of skips over. Does anyone know the possible problem?

    OK, so converting tags back and forth does not seem to help. The only way I've been able to get iTunes to recognize these tracks is to completely remove the id3v2 tags. If I readd the tags after that, it works too.
    I have around 5000 tracks (randomly located, of course) that are messed up, so my only option would be to use some tag program to remove all tags from my library (around 15,000 tracks), and then to readd them. Not an attractive option.
    I'm really pretty disgusted with iTunes at this point. It seems that, well, 1. using it to convert my id3v1 tags to id3v2 screwed up a good chunk of my tags, and 2. any other mp3 player can recognize these tracks.
    Between my wife and I, we have 3 ipods, so it would be nice to get some support directly from Apple at this point. Sorry to vent, but my wife wants to kill me because she can't get the Smiths or the White Stripes, among many, many others on her ipod. Argh....

  • ITunes not importing all files

    Hello,
    I just got myself iTunes and imported my music folder inside of which all my music is located. Now I noticed it only imported some music, whilst it skipped other music. I tried to drag&drop the missing files into the library, but I doesn't work. BTW, works fine with WMP.
    Thanks in advance,

    iTunes 7 & 8 are very picky about MP3 headers. Here's a good web page on it:

  • Finder not displaying all files in remote directory

    Sorry, this is a repost as I have gotten no response from my original request here: Finder not displaying all files in remote directory
    I've exported pictures from iPhoto on my iMac to a shared directory on my mac mini. When I access that directory from my iMac, I can see some but not all of the pictures. I know the pictures exported properly because I can see them all from the mac mini. I can open up a terminal window on my iMac and see all of the files; I can also open those files from the terminal.
    I'm running OSX 10.9.4 on both computers, with the mac mini also running OSX Server. I've placed a screen grab below from my iMac of what Finder sees vs what I can see from the terminal.
    Why isn't Finder displaying all of my files?

    thanks for responding
    Adding a new file to the shared folder results in me being able to see the new file from my clients regardless of where it was added from, however the "hidden" files do not suddenly pop up.
    I tried a few more experiments that had interesting results, but still didn't lead me to an answer.
    First I tried copying the files from the remote directory to a local directory; I did this in 2 different ways and had different results. Method A) I copied files from the mounted share to a local dir: "cp /Volumes/MyShare/dir/*.JPG .". Method B) I copied the files using secure copy: "scp user@server:/path/to/dir/*.JPG .".
    Method A resulted in Finder not being able to see the files in the local directory, while Method B did. This was interesting and lead me to suspect an issue with the way I am sharing the directory on the server. From Server settings I have both afp and smb checked. I tried enabling only one or the other and reconnecting; but this did not fix the problem.
    Next I tried exporting the photos from iPhoto again. Exporting them locally results in files that Finder can see. Exporting them to my server results the same bad behavior
    Getting desperate, I also tried renaming all of the files from "*.JPG" to "*.jpg" but this didn't help.
    One last experiment, I see the same behavior from both another Mac and a PC on my local network... FTP works fine.
    Any more ideas?

    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • Itunes not copying all photos from an event on my iMac to iPad

    why is iTunes not copying all photos from an event on my iMac to iPad

    Not at this time. There is no connection between iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPad
    Maybe in a future release
    Suggest to Apple. IPhoto menu =>> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Finder dose not show all files

    finder dose not show all files and is not open.
    nothing is shown on the desktop.
    how is it fixed?

    Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    2) You should run disk utility
         Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
         a) verify the disk
         b) update your permissions.
    3) Try a safe boot.
        Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
          is being checked.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    I wasn't aware the tv was supposed to sync or play pdf files. I have several pdf files that came with some music I purchased from iTMS some time ago and they do not sync or play on my tv's.
    What other type of content is it that won't sync for you, can you please elaborate.

  • Adding Entire Music Folder is Not Adding All My Music in the Folder

    Ok. In my shared music folder on my computer it has every song i own in it. it is all in the same format and everything. when i go to add my shared music folder (using the add folder thing on itunes) it will not load all of my songs that are in the folder. i have 2500 something songs and only 2048 songs will load. there was two songs i noticed right away that werent there so i went and used the add file thing on itunes and that DID load them. but there are about 500 songs that arent loading and i dont know which ones they are because there is no pattern to the songs not loading. some are my really new songs that i have just gotten and some are songs that have been on my computer for a few years.
    if anyone knows how i can add all my songs to my itunes library from my shared music folder, and have ALL of them show, please tell me what the problem might be and help me fix it.
    thank you!

    Luke, here is something you might try. I noticed you said that all your music was in your shared music folder (that you imported from). I have over twice as many music files as you do and I have not had this problem. If you want to save yourself some trouble from searching for all the missing files do the following.
    1) Go into iTunes- Edit- Preferences- Advanced- General
    If it is not already select, check the box that says "Keep iTunes Music folder organized."
    2) Go to My Music - iTunes- iTunes Library and delete all song files.
    3) Add all the music you want to be in your library from your Shared music to this folder you have now deleted all files from.
    4) In iTunes go to File- Import- Folder and import the iTunes Library folder.
    5) Go to iTunes- Edit- Preferences- Advanced- General make sure the box that says "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library." is checked.
    This "should" fix your problem. However, as a warning you stand a good chance of losing all your playlists and song ratings, etc (the song files will be fine though).

  • ITUNES NOT ADDING SOME MUSIC TO LIBRARY

    I updated my itunes and ipod to the most recent versions and now I have problems.
    I'm losing patience and I am extremely angry.. My library and Ipod were working perfectly before the last update now I have major issues with Itunes not recognizing some songs that were already succesfully addedto my library.
    Itunes no longer recognizes about 20% of the music in my library. I tried everything . Re-installs, re-adding folder, re-adding file etc... The only thing that has worked is deleting and re-adding the CD, BUT I REFUSE TO DO THIS FOR 100'S OF CD'S ALL OVER AGAIN !!!
    ALSO ALL OF MY FILES WORK FINE IN WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER AND WIN AMP... IT IS ONLY ITUNES THAT HAS THIS ISSUE.
    I want some one to tell me why all other software runs these files fine but itunes won't. I have way to many songs to go back an re-enter all my music. It would take me months to do this and I WILL NOT DO THIS.
    I WANT A FIX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am having the exact same problem. iTunes stopped playing about 20% of the songs that were previously imported into my music library. The songs are listed in the library, but when you click on them to play, nothing happens. They used to work perfectly. I deleted the entire library and re-added my collection, and those songs that stopped playing were not included in the new library. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, then re-added my collection, and those songs were still missing.
    The songs are still on my hard drive, will play in Windows Media Player, and will also play in QuickTime! I've tried ading the songs individually, adding the folders, double clicking on the song in Windows Explorer to see if it will play and be copied over...and nothing.
    This is VERY FRUSTRATING!!!
