ITunes suddenly not showing all my content, even though the folder does
All of the sudden, iTunes stopped showing all of my content. I have over a hundred movies and several TV shows and all of the sudden, some of the newer stuff that I recently ripped or bought from the iTunes store is no longer showing up in iTunes.
It is still in my iTunes folder however and open and accessible if I click it in Finder. This however is not a good solution as I don't know what is missing from the list and how this ridiculous issue happened.
I am furious. I spend a lot of time adding to my iTunes library for my Apple TV and suddenly, and for no reason that I can discern, content is not showing up, no matter what I do.
I recently moved my iTunes library to a 2 TB Time Capsule and took it off my internal drive, but this worked fine. For a while iTunes kept losing the library, but it no longer asks for it. It points to the right place, plays the content it chooses to see from the right place, and ignore others even though it showed them before and still has them in the library.
I am beyond confused. Can anyone help?
Check on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings that you checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" and that you checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab. Also confirm that your computer authorized for the Apple ID used to purchase this music (in Store>Authorize this computer).

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments. -
I am trying to upload files to an Apple hosted feed on KSU iTunes U (unpublished site). The file size in the Feed Editor shows as 2 GB even though the files are 50MB. I am using Safari on Intel Mac 10.5.8. at Kennesaw State University. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the second day. I tried using a new Apple feed to test. Still not working. I uploaded a 50MB mp3 file. The first time the upload failed. The second time the file showed that it was uploading a 2 GB file. It has been about 20 minutes now and shows "3.5GB of 2.0GB 178% Completed". Now it has started uploading all over again - it is now showing 399.4MB or 2.0 GB - 19% Completed. I dont know if this will keep looping - but I am going to Cancel.
Please let me know what other information do you need from me. Definitely need some help with this! -
Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there
songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there
If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

My ipad is no longer showing all my vidoes, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. Any suggestions??
Close the videos app and launch it again.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
if they still don't show up after you launch the app again, try resetting the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
itunes will not recognise my encryption password even though it has been reset. cant restore to last backup?
I'm not aware of a way to reset the password for an encrypted backup. If you have forgotten the password for an encrypted backup, your only alternative is to put the phone in recovery mode and restore it as a new device. Your data will be lost.

Clq status shows quorum server offline even though the clq service is runni
Hi,
In a 2 Node + 1 QS sun cluster 3.2 cluster, clq status is showing quorum sever offline even though the clq process is running on the quorum server. to make the quorum server online, i have to either remove and add the quorum server from cluster, or incase if there is a failure on any one of the node's both th nodes will reboot and once both joined to the cluster, I can see clq status showing quorum server online!!!
Why is the quorum server going offline automatically?
Any help would be highly appreciated
Many thanks in advance
Ushas SymonHi,
I asssume you mean the scqsd process is running on the QS, right?
A QS is shown as offline, it the monitor could not reach it when it last tried. This is usually due to a networking problem.
If you issue a clq status, the monitor checks again and if it can reach the QS will change its status back to online.
If this does not happen, check your logs, what kind of error message showed up.
Does clqs show on the QS show the correct information?
It is obvious, that if a node dies and the QS has been offline prior to the node death, that the other node will die as well due to lack of quorum, i.e. it has less votes than needed. You seem to have a basic networking problem or something is really wrong with your QS.

Photos 1.0 not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary folder/file after update install
I installed the update that changed my iPhoto to Photos 1.0, and the new Photos program is not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder (not sure to call it file or folder since it is actually a folder with all my pics but it acts more like a file) after update install. The Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder shows to be 55 gb in size, and it shows to be loaded into the photos program, but there are maybe a few weeks of pictures showing instead of a few years. Lots of pictures in the 55 gb are not showing for some reason.
No - iPhotos has not replaced anything - it is new and an addition - iPhoto is still on your system in the applications folder and still works just fine
Outlook is not supported by Photos - not sure if the support must come form Apple or MS as Photos uses a different interface to external packages than iphoto did

When listening to Fireworks by Katie Perry the base notes Sound raspy and distorted even though th eq is set to flat. I have tried 2 studio monitor headphones when listening and the raspy sound appears with both. The distorted sound from the downloaded song from itunes doesn't show up when listening to it on the computer. No other songs that have been downloaded from CDs onto my ipod classic seem to have this problem. Has anyone else run across this and how did you fix it?

New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.Two words, Migration Assistant. It will transfer files between two Macs using a firewire cable automagically.

Three words, Target Disk Mode. Use a firewire cable to connect two Macs and then hold down the T key when you boot the Mac you want to transfer files from, G4 Tower. It will appear as a hard drive on the desktop of your Macbook Pro. Then you can just drag and drop the whole folder.

Apple TV is not showing all netflix content in Canada
I've noticed a lot of content available on Netflix Canada is not available through Apple TV. Programs like The West Wing, Louie, The Good Guys, Manhattan, etc. They don't even show up in a specific search. It's not just a case of displaying only 75 titles, or whatever I've read the app does. I've called Netflix and they say that it's Apple's Netflix app issue and that Netflix have nothing to do with it and therefore can't do anything about it. What's going on here? Why would the Apple Netflix app remove content from the Netflix stream, especially when it includes some of the most highly viewed content like The West Wing? How or who decides what stays and what goes?
We don't yet have instant queue in Canada so I can't queue it up on a web browsers and watch on ATV. Also, watching a few minutes of one of these shows on a computer does not put it in my recently watched category on ATV, as the Netflix support person though that it would.
There must be a lot of people with this problem but there is very little info that I've been able to find out there.
Does anybody have any thoughts or advice?
ThanksI had the same issue until I found the missing movies in the "Home Videos" folder on the Apple TV.

Help - iTunes Windows not showing all music
I just discovered this - my iPhone has all my music and albums and artists are all correctly labeled and organized. my Win7 PC is all screwed up.
I'm not sure how/when this happened but at the moment about 700 songs are showing up in itunes without Artist, Album, or Genre info. In some cases, a few songs show up in the Album view and the rest are just missing. The only way I found them is by either viewing by Sony or doing a search. Most albums are still missing if I uncheck Group by Compilations.
All the songs are on my PC. I found them in 2 folders - iTune/iTunesMedia/Music seems to be what is displaying in iTunes. All of the ones missing info are in the Unknown Artist or Compilations folders. They are in this folder and sub-grouped by Album and in Windows Explorer they still have the correct Album and Artist info showing. The weird thing is most of these are not compilations. I also have another folder /iTunes/Music that seems to have the correct folder structure but I don't think iTunes is using this folder.
I have tried several things. First i tried copying the songs/folders from either the 2nd database or from the Unknown Artist folder in the iTunes/iTunesMedia/Music folder. This did not change anything in iTunes.
I also tried deleting the iTunes library file and starting a new one. This also did not work but when it scans it brings up 2 copies of every song.
I tried manually importing a folder and selecting each album but this did not work, presumably since the songs are already in iTunes but not labelled correctly.
Is there a way to fix this? Remember my iPhone is fine and I do not want to have to manually update the info for each song/album to re-organize it.any suggestions on how to resolve this?

ITunes Playlists Not Showing Up On Secondary Computer, Sharing The Same Apple ID
I'm trying to help a friend who has an old HP laptop that serves as her primary computer for all her music. She has synced this with her iPod. She then synced her iPod with her PC computer at work. Everything is working great, except on her work computer her playlists aren't showing up. What could be the reason for this?
I suggested iTunes Match may be the answer, but she's wondering if there's a way other than using this pay service. Please advise.
Thank you.Playlists are specific to the iTunes library on a computer. Unless she has the same library (by which I do not mean the same music, but the same library.itl file and supporting files) each computer will have a unique library even if the media content is identical.
Usually if you sync a device to one computer and then plug it into a different computer it will want to wipe the device so it can sync to the other library. The exception would be if you had exactly the same library on each computer, or they were sharing a library on a local network.
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 -
IPhone not syncing all iPhoto pix even though Gigs of space left on iPhone?
Hello,
I have a 16GB iPhone.
My iPhoto Library is 2.5GB.
I've "albumed" all my photos in iPhoto.
When syncing my iPhone I've only selected a couple of albums (no more than about 2GB's worth).
For some reason, my iPhone won't accept all the pictures I have selected, even though their collective size is far less than the capacity of the phone. Some of the pictures have loaded but when I try and sync again, I get an error message stating, "No photos were copied to the iPhone because there is not enough free space on the iPhone to hold your photos and albums"....even though according to iTunes own "Capacity Bar", I still have 1.75GB of free space left on my iPhone.
Now, here's something else that is weird that I don't understand.
My iPhoto library is 2.5GB.
My iTunes "Capacity Bar" says that the partial amount of photos that I've already synced from iPhoto to my iPhone is 11.62GB?
How can that be? How can the same amount of pictures be 2.5GB on my computer and 11.62GB on my iPhone?
Can anybody explain this to me?
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Justin
Message was edited by: jman995xI'm having a similar problem, I have 70MB of memory remaining, which I know isn't a lot, but I have less than 1 MB of photos I'm trying to sync, and it refuses to let me have them. I can put a 50 MB app on at this point with no problem, but this 1MB of photos keeps hitting some kind of wall.
