ITunes says there is music on my iPhone but it's not showing up!

iTunes says it is syncing with my iPhone, and it says there is music on the iPhone. However, on the 'iPod' section of my iPhone, there is nothing there! I have synced multiple times (am also having LOADS of issues with files that iTunes says are corrupted when I'm trying to sync, even though they will play quite happily through iTunes) and I have changed the cable I'm using to connect my iPhone to my PC.
Can anybody help?

Oddly, when I disabled AdAware and Zone Alarm I stopped getting the corrupt file messages too.....anyone know why this might be?

  • ITunes knows there is music on my iPhone, but it doesn't show up in iTunes!?

    I recently got a new laptop and today I downloaded iTunes onto it. I have to latest version of everything (4.3.2).
    I plugged my iPhone 4 into the laptop and everything downloaded well and everything is fine. iTunes recognises I have 779 songs on my phone and all the apps and videos and things. However, iTunes does not allow me to see these songs in iTunes itself. Under the 'Playlist' heading, it only says 'iTunes DJ, 90s music, Classical Music' etc that are default playlists.
    When I go onto the music page of my iPhone under 'Devices', I have to option to 'Sync music', but this then brings the capacity bar right down to hardly anything, so if I were to apply the changes, it would delete all of my current songs on the iPhone.
    I've looked everywhere and I don't know how to solve to problem. Please help!

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content from another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone that was transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. The same applies to photos transferred from a computer.
    To avoid this, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the instructions included with this link.

  • App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac

    App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac as well. But nothing seems to work. Am using Iphone 5 6.1.4. Help

    Next time that happens while on WiFi, turn WiFi off in settings, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turn WiFi back on. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times, but this fixes that issue as well.

  • I purchased a bunch of songs on my iPhone but they are not showing up on it my computer.

    I purchased a bunch of songs recently on my iPhone but they are not showing up in iTunes on my computer.  They have always shown up in the past but these few haven't. I usually do a manual upload and backup of my phone, as opposed to doing it via icloud.
    In the meantime, I went to the purchases for my account and see that they are listed there and I hit "report a problem".  But it doesn't even ask me what the problem is....
    Is there anything else I can do?

    Go to View->Account and verify you're logged into the same AppleID as the iPhone
    Then go to iTunes->Preferences->Store and verify that "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is checked.

  • ITunes saying there is an app to update, but no updates there?

    Hi guys,
    At the moment I have a '1' next to apps in my iTunes. Now I know this means there's an update for an app, but when I go to check for the updates I get a message saying "No updates available. Check again later."
    How do I get rid of this?
    I've reinstalled iTunes but this hasn't helped. I've checked for updates on my iPhone but nothing there either.

    iTMS = iTunes Music Store
    If you mean iTunes account then no, I only have the one account personally, but I do use another account owned by a family member.
    Do you think I should try logging into iTunes on my Mac with this other account and see what happens?
    yes, try that. i am using two accounts and what you're reporting is consistent with what i'm seeing when updates for one account become available but i'm logged into the other.

  • How do I delete unwanted music from an iPhone 4 that does not show in iTunes on the computer?

    How do I delete songs from my iPhone that is not showing up in my iTunes library on my laptop?  The songs appear to be from iCloud.  I sync to my laptop.  Show All music is off.  iTunes Match is off.

    Hi Lancefromgoldcoast,
    When you hook up your device and click on it, to the right you will see the Device Profile Screens with tabs like Summary, Info, Music, Photos, etc. Click on the Photos tab. There you will see the boxes that you select to sync (or not sync) your music. To turn off the Music sync, make sure the "Sync Music" box is not checked.
    Cheers,

  • HT1212 trying to restore my phone because forgot passcode and iTunes says I must turn off "Find iPhone" but since I can't get into my phone what do I do now?

    How do I Restore iPhone4s when iTunes is telling me to turn off "Find iPhone" but I can get into the phone because its disabled?

    Go to a computer or another mobile device.  Logon to iCloud.com with your Apple ID.  You can remove or erase your device from there.

  • I started downloading a song from iTunes and then stopped it in the middle of the download cause it froze, but when I tried to redownload it, iTunes said the song was already downloaded. But it does not show up in my music library on my phone. Help?

    I bought a song on iTunes and it started downloading but then about half way through it seemed to stop downloading so I pressed the square stop button in he middle of the downloading circle so that I could try and restart the download. But when I went back to iTunes, instead of having the cloud and the arrow to let me download the song from the cloud next to it, it said "Play" as if I had already downloaded the song. So I went back to my music library to try and find the song but it's not there and iTunes isn't letting me download it cause it says I already have it. Please help.

  • I have songs on my iPhone but they do not show to my iTunes library. How do I get them to show?

    I have an iPhone 4 and have songs on it that do not show on my iTunes library. Everything is up to date, but I cannot get these songs to show to make my playlists.  Some of these songs were from CDs I had. How do I get these songs to transfer from the iPhone to the iTunes library?

  • When I add a *.ics calendar item via email on my iPhone it shows in my calendar on my iPhone but it does not show in my calendar on my iPad. Why?

    I am using icloud and family share but when I receive an email with a *.ics calendar file and add it to my calendar on one of my devices it does not show on the calendar of the other devices. Same happens if I e.g. add my flight details to my calendar via the KLM app. The details show in the calendar of the device where I did it, but not in the others.
    But if I add a new calendar entry on one of my devices it immediately shows on all my other devices.

    If you are talking Photostream remember that Photostream does not transfer existing photos on your device it only transfers new photos added to the camera Roll by taking or saving them. Also note that photos aren't added to Photostream until after the Camera app is no longer in use. Furthermore Photostream is not a backup media. It only saves up to 1000 photos and only for 30 days.
    If you are talking about camera roll photos saved in an iCloud backup then there is no way to view these. They are for backup purposes only.

  • Itunes says i must enter passcode on iphone but iphone only gives option for emergency calls

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You're gonna have to force the phone into recovery mode:
    Turn your phone off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • My itunes say there full!!!!but they can' be!!!

    ko i juss got my ipod like in chrismas and like today i pluged it in my computer and i put the #227 song in i have the 2gb ipod nano wich it's supposed o hold 500 songs and it said i was full..ll of my songs are less then 4 minutes so theres no reason for it to be like this so can like someone help me please!!

    You might want to check the quality level of your songs. The higher the quality level the bigger the file size. That 500 songs they say it can hold is only meant for certain lengths of songs at a certain quality level. Hope this helps.

  • My Laptop will not connect to itunes, saying there is an internet connection problem. This is not so as I can connect to other websites. I have Windows 7, but do have a new internet supplier! Can anyone help?

    Please note: I am NOT technically minded, although, I have accessed the itunes store through the same laptop and iPhone4 previously. Kindest Regards. Cx

    Disable any security software on the computer and try again.

  • Itunes says my in app purchases were refunded but i have not received any money for them. what do I do?

    On 4/3 3 54.95 purchases went through on my checking account. I had a 50 dollar I tunes card and tried to buy an item worth 50 dollars. but instead 54.95 was charged 3 times from my bank account on iTunes card. I talked to my bank and iTunes. ITunes said they would refund all of them. I check my apps purchases on my pc and all 3 of the charges say refunded but I have received no money. On top of that I did not receive anything I purchased. what should I do to get my money back?

    It can take a number of days before the refunds will show on your card - if they aren't there by the end of the week then try contacting iTunes Support again.
