ITunes not displaying some songs on Library

Okay I've had this problem for quite sometime and it's been bugging me because I have no idea how to fix it.
It seems that whenever I change the actual file name of the song (ie. songs that I've ripped from CD's that that say "Track 1" I just change the file name to their appropriate titles) iTunes does not "allow" them to be on my library or something! Whenever I try to add the song it does not show up!
Does anyone know whats going on here?

Not that it doesn't allow, simply that it can no longer find it. Just go back to iTunes, double-click on the track, and it will tell you it can no longer find it and will ask you if you want to locate it. So, just navigate to the new filename and you will be good to go.

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!!!

ITunes not finding some songs

Hi...
I just got a new Macbook, and I moved all of my songs from my PC via my iPod to the Macbook. However, many of my songs are not being found by iTunes. There is an exclamation mark next to those songs. Many of them were purchased from iTunes, and some were imported from my own CDs.
Any ideas on how to "find" these files? Do I need to burn CDs of them and import them that way? Seems like a waste of CDs to me.
Many thanks!!!

I finally got most of my songs into my new Macbook's iTunes. I couldn't get all of them because my hard drive was full...probably from my trying to do this too many times. I'm assuming that I had several copies of my iTunes folder on the desktop. I'll get the rest of the songs on there at some point.
Oh, and iTunes is recognizing all of my music now.
Many thanks!!

ITunes not syncing all songs in library to 5s (iOS 7)

Ok so after I synced the other day I went to play some music on my phone and noticed that many of the songs had the "downloading" symbol next to them and the song name was greyed out and not clickable. I have tried resyncing my phone, restoring it, reseting it, everything. I noticed in itunes when I select my phone and go to "On This iPhone" that the songs that are unplayable on my phone and are also greyed out. Screenshots are attatched. Help me please please please please

Hello Dakota,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with music on your iPhone. For an issue like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPhone.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and click "Apply," then check "Sync Music" and click "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:

Here's the exact scenario with it: 1) Ipod connected successfully to iTunes. 2) Drag song from Library(in AAC format) to My Ipod. 3) Song plays successfully in iTunes. BTW: This is one of the songs from my cd. Not bought. 4) Eject Ipod. 5) Find song in

Here's the exact scenario with it:
1) Ipod connected successfully to iTunes.
2) Drag song from Library(in AAC format) to My Ipod.
3) Song plays successfully in iTunes.
BTW: This is one of the songs from my cd. Not bought.
4) Eject Ipod.
5) Find song in Ipod and press play.
6) Display for song and time appear.
7) About 1/3 of a second of the song plays, then it cuts out and restarts itself. (boots me back to apple logo)

Nope - and it was set to not look for them.
The final clue came when I tried hooking the drive directly to the computer, instead of to the airdisk. iTunes still hung. Then I disconnected the drive and tried to run it, and iTunes came up right away - but with an ! next to each song. Clearly it was trying to find/touch every file in the library on first startup.
I didn't try plugging in the drive and leaving the hanging iTunes running for more than a few minutes, so it's possible that it would have recovered and launched. But after removing the XML file, restoring the library to my pre-7.7 version, I could hear it accessing the directly attached drive (and see it in disk activity in the monitor) for a few minutes (less than I'd left the hanging one trying), before it came up.
Conclusion:
1) 7.7 is definitely trying to touch/see all the files in the library on first launch (proved by the ! when they are missing).
2) Disconnecting/interrupting the touch/see MAY have corrupted something (can't prove it).
3) Since touching 10,000 files takes a LONG time even at 802.11n speeds (let alone b or g), it's worth the hassle to plug the drive in directly for the first time.
4) Patience is a virtue

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

Preview.app will not display some PDF files

Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

Why is Safari not displaying some pages correctly?

Safari seems to be messing up again. Had this problem quite a while ago. It's not displaying some pages correctly.
Notice the 2 enclosed screen shots. I went to purchase something (no personal info in the jpgs)
Notice the W-Safari. Little trash cans by the purchase items missing as well as the submit button and a few other things. So I opened Chrome.
Notice in the W-Chrome, everything is displaying correctly.
I've had problems like this some time ago but I thought they were fixed.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Post a URL so what we can look at it.

Edge running slow/not displaying some items on stage

My project's growing quite large but I'm keeping everything very tidy and importing only small files (tiny PNGs, well compressed short videos, etc) but I've found the file slowing down and now it's not displaying some of my images and symbols.
Also when I now preview in Browser it takes forever to load a page - BUT - if I drag the .html file on my browser it opens and works fine.
Why would it be doing this? Can allocate Edge Animate more memory? I have an 8-core mac with 28GB RAM and plenty of HD space (which should be fine for this)
Thanks
J

Can you attach a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot]?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
* If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My iphone 4 does not play some songs, that previosly it did

Im having a similar problem since i upgraded to IOS5, ive read on other forums that some people's music hasnt even showed up, so they did a soft reset (turned it off and on again) which worked for them.
It didnt for me, i have found some of the songs will play if i press the repeat once button, but this isnt really fixing the problem.

ITunes will not acknowledge some songs in my library

Hi
Recently transferred entire library from an old computer to new one, after which several albums and individual songs could not be located. Many of these I found in the itunes folder where itunes had filed them (by artist etc) but it was not picking them up. So I went through and found them all as prompted when attempting to play songs with an exclamation mark next to them, I also noticed it has dropped whole albums and random songs from the library for no reason, and does not display these at all. Consolidating does not seem to help itunes recognise and display them.
How can I get itunes to have a proper look in the library and display all my music??
cheers
Dan

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

ITunes does not open some songs

I bought some songs off an online store and when I double click them the iTunes icon bounces in the dock once and brings the window to the front but nothing happens. When I drag, them to the iTunes window, it recognizes me attempting to add songs (with a blue border around the library) but then nothing happens. This is not the first set of music to have done this, and this is not iTunes 10 specific.
I have checked all of the ID3 tags and even tried renaming the files, but to no avail.
Any reason why this is happening?

if those songs are in mp3 format, try running them by _*MP3 Validator*_.

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

Can not transffer some songs from itunes to ipod

I have down loaded some hindi song from net , I am trying to transfer song from itune to ipod but can not can some one help me?

Are you using a 1st or second generation shuffle and what format are the songs that won't move? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supported on the 2nd generation shuffle:
iPod shuffle: Compatible audio formats
iPod shuffle 2nd generation - Technical specs
Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod
