Loss of recored music from the library
I had a large volume of music reorded from CDs in the library of my Itunes on my desktop.
With frequent upgardes of the Ituns software, most of the music recorded from CDs have diaspeeared from my Itunes, or I cannot see them. All I see are the ones Ipurchased from Apple Store. How can I find my folders?
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

How do i sync my music FROM the ipod TO my music library
I know how to put music from the library to the ipod but i dont understand how i can sync my ipod music to library.. Please someone help
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases by choosing File->transfer purchases from the iTunes menu. Disable autosync before you connect your ipod.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0 -
When I try syncing music from my library to my ipod, I get the message that it lost connection. My ipod is plugged in to the computer though. Does anyone know how to fix this?
How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

some music files do not show up in google play music app library. I did clear cache/data and restarted phone. The music is stored on the SD card. Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card. I can play the song from file manager, but it still is not in the music library in play music.
Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?
Thanks,

I have an iphone 4s. I have a mac computer and a pc. Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it. I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account. My husband has the same problem with his iphone 4, but only uses pc.
My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?
You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer. -
I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.
What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

I lost all of my ITunes library when my windows laptop had a major glitch. I have all of my music on an IPad and IPhone. Can I pull the music from the IPad or IPhone when I connect them in ITunes? Thanks.
One application that's able to accomplish what you want is called Senuti.

I have 137,000 songs on an external harddrive. I just loaded them all into Itunes on a new computer and took the time to sort through all of them and remove duplicates and correct artists ect to have it all sort well. I narrowed it down to 20,000 songs. Now I figured out the Itunes library with 20,000 songs is still on my harddrive and is just pulling the 20,000 from the 137,000 songs available. How do I copy just the 20,000 in my library onto the hard drive on my computer. I want to upload these into "Cloud" but want to keep them separate from the rest of the music? Does anyone know how to do this?
ThanksDesignate a new iTunes Media folder outside of the current folder structure and consolidate the 20,000 files to that location.
I don't have iCloud but I presume it counts the files in your library. If so you may not need to do anything at all, assuming you've eliminated the other entries from the library, but the method above will let you create one clean folder with your keepers.

ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?
In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in. -
I have the latest iTunes software on my iMac mini and now have IOS7 on my iPhone and now I cant sync music from my library either by wifi or by usb? I get song lists that scoll at a million miles an hour but no actual content. What should I do to get my music onto my iphone.
Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc. -
How can I get my music from my Library in Windows Media Player to sync to my iPod Nana?
You can't sync an iPod using Windows Media Player. You need to add the songs to your iTunes library first, and then sync those songs to the iPod.

NOTE: The WMA files (the file type used by Window Media Player) need to be unprotected (no DRM). They are converted to a format supported by iTunes while adding to the iTunes library. This WMA conversion feature only works in the Windows version of iTunes (Mac users cannot do it).
I believe you can drag and drop the WMA files, or the folder containing the WMA files, onto the iTunes window. The original WMA files are not changed. iTunes creates its own converted files at the location it stores all the iTunes media files. -
My iTunes library has completely disappeared during a download of some music from the store
This morning, during a download of some music from the iTunes store, iTunes appeared to crash, as the downloads all paused and the spinning wheel appeared. Itunes then shut itself. After reopening it, all of my music, apps, vids, etc (everything), had disappeared, and iTunes was basically blank as if I had just opened it for the very first time on my computer, with iTunes match, Home Sharing, etc all signed out.
I know this has happened for other people but having looked through the discussions they all seem to be under different cirumstances. I'm running a mid 2012 2.9 Ghz macbook pro with 8GB memory, on OS X 10.8.5, with itunes version 11.1.1 which I updated to, around a week ago, when prompted to by the app store.
I've located all the music files on my hard drive in the iTunes media folder and everything appears to be there, just no longer showing in the iTunes app. I know that if I sign into iTunes match that I'll be able to access my library through that online, but I'd like to access the music on my hard drive so I don't need an internet connection to listen, so is there any way of just re-directing iTunes to the media folder or do I need to just import everything from that folder manually?Should also add, that when opening my iTunes preferences that the iTunes Media Folder Location appears to be the same one that supposedly has all the files in it. If I click change then I can see all the music, vids, etc that are on the hard drive, yet still nothing is showing in iTunes.

Had to reinstall Lion. Backed up my music to an external hard drive. When I plug in my iPod a prompt msg says it's synced w/another iTunes library and asks if I want to "erase and sync" (to what is now an empty library) or "Transfer purchases". Do i "erase and sync" and re-add music from the hard drive once that's done?
You just need to tell iTunes where the library is located. If you want it back on your internal drive, copy the entite iTunes folder. Follow the instructions below.
