ITunes won't import my music library

I've installed the latest version of iTunes, but when I open it up, my library of music isn't there. When I try to import song from my music folder on my hard drive, it can't them. I can open my Windows media player and see all of my songs there, so what's going on? Any ideas?

HD vaporized. Fortunately I was able to recover all songs to a PC from my old ipod. Now that I bought a new hard drive, I need to transfer back all the songs. How can I get the playlist from the ipod as the playlist were not copied to the PC.

  • ITunes Won't Recognize My Music Library on Ext Hard Drive

    Hey All,
    Just got a iBook G4 and I'm trying to access my music on iTunes, but I can't. Is there a trick I'm missing here? I set the folder location to the Ext Drive, but still nothing. Everything work with out issue on my old iBook G3.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Pointing iTunes to a folder simply tells iTunes to put all new music there. You need to File -> *Add to library* then select that music folder.

    Hey there Ellens1,
    It sounds like you are trying to sync your music to your iPod Nano but something is preventing the sync. If you are using the the following process to sync the content:

    You do not.. the iPhone is not a backup device.
    Copy the entire iTunes directory from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

  • How to import first song on burned cd if iTunes won't import it

    Often I find that iTunes won't import the first track of a burned cd. It'll just keep cycling and eventually move to the next track. I use Exact Audio Copy to import the first song and then import it into iTunes. EAC has worked EVERY time and I have a lot of burns, of which maybe 1/4 have this problem.
    You can get Exact Audio Copy here:

    You will need the LAME encoder to create mp3s:

    Just create a LAME folder somewhere and unzip contents to it, then point EAC to lame.exe

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

  • Did a full recovery on hp with Vista. Using external HD, I reinstalled my music library, and installed iTunes from net.  Following instructions given in iTunes, I was unable to import my music library into iTunes.  Any advice, comments, etc,?

    After recovery I am not able to load my existing music library into iTunes.  I followed instructions given in iTunes.  Any comments/suggestions?

    Do you see the library and media files on your external drive?
    If you recovered the iTunes folder from <User's Music> in the backup to your current <User's Music> folder then the library should all be there with no need to import anything.
    Depending on how you backed up the data it is possible that the recovered files are missing the security permissions that iTunes needs to access them. See epair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on how to check and reset if necessary.

  • Why won't iTunes save changes to my music library?

    It seems like every time I update my music library (i.e. add ratings and such), it resorts to the default the next day (i.e. ratings are lost and changes are restored).  Can anyone explain why iTunes won't let me make changes in my music library?

    It could be several things but we need fuller information.  If I go into a doctor and just say I have a cough it could be an allergy, it could be dusty, it could be flu, it could be cancer...  If I say it only happens when I work in a bakery that provides a clue.  If I say I also have a fever that provides more information. 
    Is this only happening with purchases from the iTunes Store?  Possibly something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both).  I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself).  There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
    Something to try (post by turingtest2) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26454072#26454072
    If the above doesn't work:
    2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file.  Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/26335620#26335620 - user ended up rebuilding iTunes library from scratch
    Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:

    Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

  • ITunes 9.2 won't read my music library

    After upgrading to iTunes 9.2.0.61 last night, iTunes will no longer read my music library. I can place each song in the library by playing it from the music folder itself, but with 8700 songs, that will take a while. Any one know the solution to this?
