Missing libary content with iTunes 12

Ever since I updated to itunes 12 I am missing tons of my music library. I would say a good two thirds of it is gone from itunes. If I go into the finder and music library everything appears to be on my HD but not in itunes itself. Anyone else having this issue? any thoughts or ideas to get my complete library into itunes so I can make changes to my ipod and iphone?
I am very disappointed in this latest itunes update and now missing most of my music is a really bummer!

Thanks for the response but I have done all this already. Everything is in my Itunes media folder as it should be however nothing is appearing in my itunes library. It does not appear I actually lost any music(also backed up on timemachine) but nothing is in my itunes libary. It was perfectly fine before the update yet after updated and opening itunes 12 for the first time nothing is there. This also means all my of media on my ipod and iphone is not going to snyc correctly with itunes if I plug it in. I made zero changes from before the update to after either,

  • Sell media content with itunes store in Russia

    Hello.
    I have a question:
    How can i sell myown uniq media content with itunes store in Russia, and what do i need to do this?
    I've read a FAQ of selling indie music in itunes on American version of your website, but there is only an instruction about selling music in U.S. and Europe region - not for Russia.
    Also i trying to find any faq on Russian Apple web site, but there is nothing.
    Also i would to know what about Apple-approved aggregators and encoding houses in Russia?
    Thank you!

    Finally i got an answer from itunes store support about my question.
    If somebody have the same questions as i, here i would write some text from the massage of apple support.
    "I understand that you want add your own media content on iTunes Store. I know how eager you are to get the information. I will do everything possible to help you today.
    To submit an application to have your own content added to the iTunes Store, please visit the iTunes Labels & Marketing page at:

    Thats all that thay wrote to me.

  • Music files missing after sync with iTunes

    All of my devices are updated to the last version.
    I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
    Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
    It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
    Zen style APPLE !!

    It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
    try this:
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Replacing iTunes content with iTunes Plus

    I see on my iTunes account that I have many songs I purchased prior to DRM-free content, and these "upgradable" songs number about 300. This might make things easier, but when I purchase the "upgraded" version, will the new version of the song also appear in the playlists that the original version was placed in? Or will I have to manually put the new iTunes Plus version back into the playlists? That might not be worth the cost to upgrade if I have to go back and replace each song in every playlist that it appears in. 

    Your upgraded iTunes Plus music will replace the original purchases in your library. You will be given an option to delete the original files or move them to your desktop at time of download.  However, in my experience, the new versions don't always make it to my playlists.
    Here is the iTunes Plus FAQ:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1711

  • Iphone purchased music goes missing after sync with iTunes?

    I have noticed that when I sync my iphone 4 that any music on it under purchased on iphone all of sudden goes missing. I can find it in my library in my computer but no longer under music puchased on iphone on my iphone. It used to not delete songs. Any ideas how to fix?
    Also, this music is no longer showing up as purchased in my itunes account either. It is in library so it isn't truly missing but it is creating a mess for me.
    I would appreciate any help.

  • Backing up iPhone 4S with iTunes

    I have a new iPhone 4S and tried to back up its contents with iTunes on my Mac. ... I used the USB connector to physically link the iPhone 4S to my Mac -- which is running OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9, if I remember correclty -- but the iPhone did not appear in the iTunes pane ... can anyone tell me why and how to back up my iPhone 4S using iTunes?

    You need at least Mac OS 10.5.8 (or later) and iTunes 10.5 (or later) for the iPhone 4S.

  • How can i manually remove songs from Ipod with itunes 11?  Please Help

    I am trying to remove a single song from my kids Ipod 5th gen ipod with itunes 11.0.1.2. With older versions of itunes i was able to right click on the content that i wanted to remove and select delete.  I for the life of me can not figure out how to remove content with itunes 11.  i have a lot of apple devices , iphone,ipad,ipod touch, and so on and so on. I am so frusterated that i feel like thowing it all in the garbage and starting over with another product.   

    Everything works the same in iTunes 11 as in previous versions.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

  • Missing ringtone after sync with iTunes

    Hi,
    I just bought a new iPhone 5 and I transfered all data from my old iPhone 3GS except for one ring tone which is missing now on both phones after the sync with iTunes! I can't find it anywhere in my iTunes, nor on my old iPhone 3GS which is weird...
    I can't see it in my iTunes in my Purchased items. It's like Apple just deleted it entirely.
    I found similar problem in topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811069?start=0&tstart=0 where Apple deleted a ringtone which was no longer affiliated with iTunes Store. This can't be the right way to deal with all the content people paid for in past ?
    The ringtone is still available in iTunes. It's Royksopp - Happy Up Here.
    I paid for this ringtone and I wish to have it back.
    Please advice

    Have you tried closing the GoodReader app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with GoodReader 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the GoodReader app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes music and have selected 'entire music library', which shows a large amount of potential music data to be transferred.  Trouble is after sync, the bar shrinks back to just the content of one particular Playlist!?

    Please can anyone help?  I am trying to sync my iphone music with itunes, but am finding that as soon as the sync is complete the data bar shrinks back from almost full (my entire music library) to just 100 songs, which happen to be the contents of one playlist I have.  i cannot seem to change the music content on my phone no matter what?  PS when I hit sync the capacity bar fills up, but when I apply, it drops back to just those songs I already mentioned :- (

    thank you randers4, unfortunately these restrictions aren't to blame.  Now I realise the problem - I tried to play some of the music and found out that the source data wasn't attached.  The computer was rebuilt and backed up - and it seems perhaps hasn't all been copied back.  I am currently attempting to copy accross some itunes files from my backup drive.  Bit confused, too many itunes files of different types but fingers crossed getting closer to the solution......?
