ITunes not showing music

I have all my music and itunes library on a Mac server on my home network.  On my laptop, I cna connect to the serber, launch itunes and it shows the music on the server.  However, from my iMac, when i connect to the server and launch iTunes it does not see the music.  Preferences on both machines have been set identically, so both point to the exact same location for the iTunes media folder. 
Why is it working on one machine and not the other?
Thanks

What do you mean by "it kicks me out of it"?

  • Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

    Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • ITunes not syncing music

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
    A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
    It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
    This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
    So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

  • IPod Classic no music, freezing iTunes, not showing up, HELP????

    I have a used iPod Classic 120GB. I bought it off my friend. I took it home and added my files (about 5,000 songs and 13 videos) to his stuff (about 6,000 songs) and ended up with it being about half full. I let it sync, then ejected and disconnected. But it said there was nothing on it. I went back and reconnected it to my iTunes. The iTunes froze, and I couldnt access the iPod in anyway. I disconnected it, and when I did it unfroze everything, and popped up in iTunes, saying that the iPod was missing.
    I checked the iPod's "About" section and it said that it had 56GB of "Other". I took it back to my friend and he said he deleted the folder with everything in it. It is empty now except for 1.2 GB of who knows what, but still freezing my system and not showing up.
    I have tried restarting it, and putting it into disk mode. Nothing worked.

    HI, i am having the same issue with my ipod. Can you please tell me what you mean by putting on "disk mode" and deleting the files? Thanks
    First let's make sure the drive is physically OK...
    *Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

    Assuming you've ruled out a physical problem with the iPod's drive we can now move on to check for logical problems...
    *Check iPod hard-drive for errors*
    Hold Select+Menu on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Select+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Open iTunes and in the Sync tab of the preferences menu check *Disable automatic syncing of all iPhones & iPods*. Now connect your iPod to the computer, wait until it connects, then close iTunes. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of a successful restore. It might also pay to check the status of the source drive containing your media, particularly if no errors were found on the iPod.
    And if that still doesn't help try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from restoring it.
    Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. I have found that lots of large or complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
    *Break up large transfers*
    In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

  • ITunes 11.0.5 not showing music folder files

    Where to begin? Over the years, my music folder (approx 200gb) became a mess; approx 1/3 "missing" from iTunes, dozens of artists files somehow stashed in other artist files (all my Stones, for instance, was in the Ella Fitzgerald folder... why, who knows) , and not having access to everything I knew to be there. So, after upgrading to 11.0.5, I made a backup of my messed up Music folder, copied that to a scratch drive and began going through, artist by artist, and eliminating dupes, correcting spelling, and so on. Took 18 hours. When satisfied, opened iTunes, created a new library, clicked Add To Library, pointed it to the corrected folder, and let it do it's thing. In Prefs, I had selected "Keep Media folder organized" and "Copy files to media folder when adding".
    This morning, when checking on things, noticed that the Music folder did indeed have all the files in there, yet none of them showed in iTunes. Quit and restarted iTunes, and only things from the cloud where present, less than 10% of my music overall. During import, iTunes showed that it was downloading album art, equalizing volume, etc. for these files.
    Decided to start over again, trashed that library, made a new one, pointed to the right place, same results. The files are indeed in the proper place, iTunes is showing the correct location for these files, yet they're still not showing up.
    I do still have the untouched backup. One of the many things I trashed in the process were dozens of "previous iTunes libraries", which are still in the backup. Also, after backing up, trashed everything in my media folder on my MBP to insure that nothing old was left behind. Might that be causing this issue? Figured it I treated it as a first time, brand new thing, that all would be good.
    Obviously not.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for any help, and have a great day.

  • ITunes not showing my music!!!!!

    So I have an iPhone 4 and I used my ringtone designer app and then synced the ringtones so they would show up in my settings, but once I synced them, all my music, movies, etc. were removed from my phone!! Then, I synced my music from my iTunes library to my iPhone music library, but when I did that, all those songs I just synced to my phone did NOT show up in my iPhone music library on my computer. The songs all show up on my phone, but not the library when it is hooked up to my macbook. So I can't manage my songs or delete any off my phone since absolutely none of them show up on my computer. I have ejected my iPhone off the computer and then rehooked it up, but it still didn't show up. This is really frustrating. HELP!!

    It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the media on your iPod while you have it set to Auto Sync. This document explains the difference in the two methods. You can switch between the two, but you can use both at the same time.

  • Music purchased from iTunes not showing up on Purchased playlist on iPhone

    The last few song purchases that I've made on iTunes are not showing on my Purchased playlist on my iPhone.  I do have Automatica Downloads turned on under the iTunes & App Stores settings on my iPhone.  I've tried signing out and signing in again on both my iPhone and computer.  I've also tried manually dragging the songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone through iTunes, but I'm when I click and drag the files from iTunes to the devices list, iTunes does not allow the songs to be moved to my iPhone.  Any suggestions?

    I had the same issue.  Try this:  go into iTunes, select your iPhone, go to Ringtones tab, check the Sync seclected Ringtones, deselect the ringtones that you pruchansed from iTunes Store.  Now Apply/Sync the phone.  When it's done, Go back to the Ringtones tab and select Sync all Ringtones.  Apply/Sync the phone again.  Now go to a contact and set a ringtone, you should see all the purchased ringtones.  Good luck.

  • ITunes not showing songs that are on the iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation.
    I use iTunes 11.0.
    I usually connect my iPod Touch to iTunes and play songs from there because I do not put songs in my itunes library.
    I was doing this as usual and today when I connected my iPod Touch to iTunes, songs did not show up on the music tab of "On This iPod".
    Just the previous day, I opened iTunes and there were all my songs.
    Today, iTunes does not show any of my downloaded songs that were not bought from the iTunes Store.
    The iTunes Capacity Bar shows that I have songs on my iPod Touch.
    But when clicking on the iPod and going under the music tab in "On This iPod", there is no music other than a few songs, which were purchased from the iTunes Store itself.
    I also tried third party software just today to check if I can get the songs off my iPod.
    I tried using SharePod and it did not detect any songs, not even the purchased songs from iTunes.
    There are songs on the iPod Touch only. I can play all the songs from the iPod Touch just fine.
    They are simply just not showing up on iTunes.
    How do I get iTunes to show the songs on my iPod Touch? The capacity bar says there are songs.
    I tried SharePod a few times long before this happened, and it showed the songs on the iPod Touch.
    I don't understand why all of a sudden the songs all disappeared from iTunes itself only.
    (I would say this is similar to other issues where iTunes DOES show songs while the iPod itself DOES NOT. Mine is the opposite.)
    Thank you for the help in advance.

    I tried backing up the iPod Touch.
    Now all the songs on the iPod Touch (except for the purchased ones) are turned to blank names and are skipped.
    There is no name for each song or artwork, they all are called 'unknown'.
    Only the purchased songs are left unharmed. Everything else is corrupted now.

  • ITunes not showing content on iOS devices

    So I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad, both running iOS 4.2.1 under iTunes version 10.1.1. For some reason, whenever I click any of the content tabs under each device (Music, Books, Videos, etc.), iTunes shows that there is nothing on the device even though I can clearly play and view the content on the device itself. I know there have been some issues with 4.2.1 and content not showing up on the device, but has there been any sort of fix on content not being viewable through iTunes? Thanks!

    Also note, this isn't just movies... it happens with music, TV shows, and books as well.  The remote devices can see and play them, but it will not show up in the local iTunes list.
    Additionally, in the "shared" libraries section for iTunes on other computers, the items also do not show up in that list.

  • ITunes not showing Nano

    We have a brand new MacBook Pro and a first gen nano. When we plug the nano in the Finder reads it as a drive but it does not show in iTunes. We had been using it with a previous gen unibody MBP (which was stolen) and it worked fine. We have tried two different cables to no avail. I tried it on a borrowed Dull D610 and iTunes recognized it right off the bat and wanted to reformat it.
    Any ideas why iTunes on the new MBP will not bring the nano up?

    Unless you have music on it that isn't backed up, you might want to try a restore.

  • Title Names of Songs Bought on iTunes Not Showing up! Help!

    Just now, I bought some music from iTunes and once everything downloaded, none of the titles of the songs appeared! Even when I try to manually change that with the "get info" option, I would type in the title, press okay, but then it still would not show up! What's happening?

    By any chance have you turned "off" those columns in your window? Go up to the top of that window (on any of the visible columns) right-click (or control-click if you don't have a two-button mouse). You should see a pop-up list of all possible columns that could be displayed. Make sure that "Title" has a check by it.
    If that's not the problem, then unfortunately, I have no other ideas.
