Missing music in playlist but still in library...

A few days ago when i connected my Ipod Touch to itunes, it cleared my intire ipod. Well its music anyway. it has done this a few other times as well. I got some of the songs back on there but i still cant get them all back onto my ipod. I looked in my library and all the songs are there, but i cant get them on my playlist. First, how do i get them back into my playlist? And second, why does it keep doing this?

how do i get them back into my playlist?
On the left side ofTunes, drag from Library -> Music to the playlist you want it in.
why does it keep doing this?
Are you deleting the playlists the song(s) are in?

Want songs in playlist but not in library

so i have a CD with thousands of short japanese recordings on it, the only way i believe that i can get them onto my iphone/ipod is through adding them to itunes. However when i hit shuffle songs the likelihood of getting a japanese recording instead of a song is very high.
CAN I ADD THESE RECORDINGS TO MY IPHONE/IPOD IN AN ITUNES PLAYLIST, BUT NOT IN LIBRARY?
or is there an alternate way to listen to these without disrupting itunes?
cheers

You can't have them in a playlist unless they are first in your library. If you delete them from your library, you also delete them from any playlist.
You should select all your Japanese tracks and open the "Get Info" window (iTunes File menu > Get Info). Select the Options tab and check "Skip when shuffling" and click OK.

Loops "missing" but still in library

Upon update, many loops went 'Missing" although they are in the loop library still.
Have tried several attempts to re-index loops to no avail.
For instance, "Live Edgy Drums 07" remains, but "Live Edgy Drums 29.2" does not and has no sound.
in sound effects, "Airplane Takeoff" is in the loop library and is functioning, but "is not found" in my composition.

How can I stream music via AirPlay but still have an internet connection?

Hi guys,
Ive just bought an Airplay speaker but I seem to be missing something here as I can't figure out how to stream my audio on my iPhone to the AirPlay speaker but still use the internet by either WiFi or 3G at the same time. I stream all my music using iTunes Match or Spotify.
There are volume buttons, a power button and wifi button on the AirPlay speaker. The instructions state to press the wifi button for a few seconds then it will appear as a wifi connection on other devices. And so it does. It comes up in my wifi list on my iPhone and on my Mac too. So as it suggests, I connect to the speaker's wifi connection, and if I go to the Control Centre, AirPlay gives me the option to choose the speaker and it connects to it fine. It streams music that's locally on my iPhone, but when I try to connect to Spotify, stream something using iTunes Match or just use the internet on my phone, there's absolutely no connection. Of course it seems to be using the speaker as the primary and only connection to the internet.
If I try to connect back to my home wifi network, I get my internet connection back, but lose connection to the AirPlay speaker! It just disappears altogether. So what am I doing wrong here?
I've tried the same on my Mac but having the exact same problem. Can anyone please advise me where I'm going wrong?
Other notes: I am using a Virgin Media Superhub 2 with dual band 2 and 5 GHz connection options, Technika AirPlay Speaker, iPhone 5S and a MacBook Pro.
Thank you in advance!

You're not setting things up properly. You need to first connect this speaker to YOUR network, not create a network using the speaker. I suspect there is a setup menu for this speaker to do so. Check the documentation or the maker's web site for instructions.

TS5376 I have followed the instructions re these 2 errors "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

I have followed the Apple Support instructions re these 2 errors "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

Try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components; you may need to do this multiple times. It won't normally affect the iTunes library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Photos deleted from iPhoto, but still in Library folder

iPhoto 9.5.1
Strange behavior in iPhoto : let's say I imported 100 photos. Then, in iPhoto, deleted 80, keeping 20. Emptied trash in iPhoto. Then emptied Trash in Finder.
Let's say the "_DSC1234.JPG" photo was among deleted files. When searching "_DSC1234.JPG" in Spotlight, I find it in the "Master" folder of the "iPhoto Library" folder (Photothèque in French).
I've got a lot of photos deleted, but kept in Library, Not good for privacy, not good for hard drive space.
For exemple, I find 514 ".NEF" photos in the iPhoto searchbox. But when searching in the iPhoto LIbrary folder with Spotlight for files with ".NEF" in their names, I find 1048 ! No duplicates, no previews or "faces" (hey are in JPEG), but photos I deleted, before emptying iPhoto and Finder trash !!
Rebuilding Library didn't help.
I'm using a user account not allowed to administrate the computer. Maybe a link ?
The question was already asked, but never answered :
Growing iPhoto Library, deleted photos still in folders
Deleted Photos: Why are they still in my iphoto library folder?
Photos deleted from within iPhoto are still in Library folder
Thanks for your help !

Strange behavior again, with the original library : If I select NO event and use the menu Information, I've got 14.634 photos. If I select all events, I've got 15.760 photos. How can I have more photos in all events than in my Library ??????
Check, if you have hidden photos.
File > New Smart Album, with a rule: Photo is hidden
In my iPhoto Library the "Hidden" flag accounts for the difference in the Photos count between selecting all events and no events.
Make sure, "View > Hidden Photos" is enabled in the View menu, so you can recognize hidden photos by the X.

Ipod shows there is no music or video, but still has the same memory.

so basically, last night I hooked up my iPod and synced it to upload this new podcast I had. once it did, I turned off my computer and went to bed. When I got to bed, I went to listen to that podcast, and it wasn't there..nothing was there. I went to the about and it said "Music: 0 Video:0 Photos:2752" But then I looked at my available memory, and it said, "Capacity:74.3GB Available:23.4GB"
So I believe that all my music and videos are still inside my iPod, but my iPod isn't reading it..
Can anyone please help me? I really do not want to lose my whole libary..it isn't on my iTunes anymore..

*...it isn't on my iTunes anymore...*
Why not? You erased the iPod's backup!
Well, try this reset procedure...
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. +You may need to repeat this step.+
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Allow at least a two-hour charge and repeat the above steps.

Music wiped from iPod nano but still in library

Trying to update my iPod nano, I get this error message:
Songs on the iPod "Claire's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist
I inadvertently deleted a playlist entitled Claire's iPod earlier, which seemed to contain all but a few songs in my library, created during my last update, possibly due to space being short on my iPod?
All songs are still in my library. How do I get them back onto iPod nano?
Help! Thanks.

Your options are:
1. Create a new playlist with the same name as the one you deleted
2. Create a new playlist with any name. When your iPod appears, go to the second(music) tab and select the playlist you just created to be synced, and no other one unless you want it.

Music disappeared from my ipod but still in library and on our video ipod

I turned my ipod on today and music that was on it last night has now disappeared. These are from cd's that we had copied onto the computer and then deleted once we loaded them into itunes and onto the ipod. I didnt do anything different when i plugged it in to charge. HElp please!!!

It would appear that the iPod hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes, but if they are no longer there, then you are seemingly stuck with importing the CDs again.

one of the problems may be that the original files may have been moved.
before you do anything, open itunes, then click on the ipod icon on the left side of the screen. there should be 4 check boxes. make sure the "manually manage music" check box is filled in
for one thing, try finding the folder where all of your music is stored.
then, click and drag the music into itunes, or onto your ipod.

Can't Find CD Music in iTunes But Still On iPod

Not sure this is iPod problem, but occurred after linking iTunes to a library. I first moved my iTune file to secondary drive to free up space & no problems playing back downloaded iTune songs and CD music copied to iTunes. I hooked up my iPod only when booted in the 2nd drive to download from iTunes. Then I moved the iTune folder to an external drive (firewire boot-able) and again no problems playing back any of the music. Again I only connected my iPod when booted in the external drive to download from iTunes. I found out from Apple Discussions how I could press option when opening iTunes to link to a different Library and both download files to play, and load them to my iPod. This way I did not have to reboot from my main drive just so I could download iTune files and/or listen to my music including CD imports that were located on the external drive. So, when I was on my main drive, I linked the iTune app to the library on the external drive and was able to download from iTunes and sync my iPod with no problem BUT!!! Now there is an exclamation point next to every imported CD title in my iTune folder and it says can't find the original file. I booted into the external drive and opened iTunes but the ! is still there etc. The music file is still loaded/playable in my iPod but I can't play it from the computer. So my question is...
WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW DO I FIX IT?

So I put all my music into the iTunes folder (copied it back from my external hard drive) but when I open iTunes, it doesn't "find" it.
If you didn't back up or restore the iTunes database files, you also need to drag the music into the open iTunes application window.
What are the chances that Apple will let me redownload all of her purchases?
Click here and ask.
And last question, I know that they only let you copy your music onto "5" computers.
For most purposes, that doesn't apply to recent song purchases.

How to restore itunes music and playlists but run from external HD?

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my macbook from Tiger to Snow Lepoard.
I backed up my entire HD onto my exteral harddrive and fromated my HD and rebooted with Snow Lepoard.
Is it possible to restore itunes to exactly how it used to be i.e. playlists etc, but, is it possible to do this but run all my music from my external harddrive rather than adding it back onto the computers HD?
Any help how to do this would be great.
Cheers

Start iTunes with the option key held down. Guide it to the library file on the external hard drive. This is all assuming it is on there in some sort of regular format and not in an image file or some such.

HT1478 Hi, I want to partition my Ipod Touch so that I can transfer music files to this partition for download to car. Attached Ipod to PC, but coudn't see in Disk Management. Then selected Manually manage Music and Video but still can't see??

I want to transfer music from my Ipod Touch to my car. I found out that I had to partition the Ipod to do this. I attached it to my PC with the USB cable but couldn't see it in the Disk Manager window. Googled why not and saw that I had to select Manually Videos in the Summary section on Itunes. This was already ticked off (selected) and still can;t see the Ipod icon in Disk Manager. What else can I do to partition this Ipod?
Thanks in anticipation ...

iTunes Match on your computer can give you the same higher quality files.
Run iTunes on your computer. Show your music library by Song in list view. Add the columns for Bit Rate, Kind, and iCloud Status to the list view.
Any song that is shown as Matched for iCloud Status, that is NOT already 256 kbps (or higher) for Bit Rate can be downloaded from iCloud at 256 kbps AAC. For example, if you have an old album from a music CD that you ripped years ago at 128 kbps MP3, and it is "matched" by iTunes Match, you can replace the lower quality files you have now with 256 kbps Match AAC audio file (which is shown for Kind).
To do so, select the song, or a set of songs, on the library list. Press Delete. Confirm you want to delete the song (but do NOT check the box to delete song from iCloud) and choose to move song file to the Trash. The songs remain on your iTunes library list, with a "cloud" download button next to the song name.
Click that button to download the song from iCloud. Because the song is Matched, you get the replacement as a 256 kbps AAC audio file, instead of the original 128 kbps MP3 file (or whatever lower quality format it was before).
You can go through your iTunes music library, and replace lower quality Matched songs with higher quality versions, thanks to iTunes Match.

STRANGE: single clip missing in export! (but still in the timeline)

Strangest thing: I exported a project... and a SINGLE clip is missing. BUT... the "key" over that clip shows up (over "black.") Hmmm... So I went back to the timeline... the clip is STILL THERE! So, I re-rendered, exported again... SAME THING. That one darned clip goes "black" w/ the key over it. Any suggestions?

NOTE: Had no problem exporting this same project before.
1.) even clip info = 720 x 480 / 29.97 fps (same as ALL clips throughout entire project)
2.) Timeline info = 720 x 480 DV Anamorphic 29.97
3.) Here's the clip in the timeline. (see image, it's the gentleman in the labcoat) Amazingly, in the export the "keys" appear over black. Just this ONE clip is missing--audio and video. No other clips are affected.
4.) Finally, here is how I am exporting the project: (see image)

Photos not showing up in iPhoto but still in Library

I'm having a problem with iPhoto. I just got back from a trip. I was copying using the share photo function my photos from one computer to another and after that it seems that about 500 photos are not showing up on the original computer, these photos also did not copy over. Originally, I thought somehow I had deleted them somewhere but they are in fact still in the correct places in the iPhoto library folder. However, they are not showing up when I open iPhoto. I have restarted. I have repaired permissions. I have checked the iPhoto trash- they are not there. I have viewed the hidden photos. I am at a loss. I am sure it is some easy fix I just cannot find it. Please help. I don't want to manually deal with this problem because I have already organized all of them.

Sounds like a corrupted database, I'm afraid.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
