Missing tracks in iTunes U collection

For the University of Chicago "Volunteer Caucus" collection, 52 items are added on the iTunes site manager (last uploads were January 3), but only 17 appear on iTunes U. The release dates also appear to be wrong (e.g. "Reunions with Class" shows up as 11/19/10 when it should be 10/09/10).
We had an initial problem in another collection which was caused by bad/missing characters in the feeds metadata, but it doesn't seem as though there are any such characters for this collection.

We checked the collection and an invalid XML character was found in the RSS feed. Since this is an Apple hosted feed, we will need to go in and remove the invalid character. Stay tuned.
-Thanks

Missing tracks in iTunes album folder

This evening I downloaded a 28-track album from the iTunes store. All 28 tracks show up in iTunes and on my iPod. All 28 tracks play in iTunes and on my iPod.
I backed up the new album by copying the iTunes folder to my external hard drive.
But then.....when I checked the back-up, I was surprised to see that only 2 out of 28 tracks on the new album had been copied to my external drive. Twenty-six tracks appear to be missing.
So I went to the original iTunes folder, and found the 26 of the 28 tracks appear to be missing there as well.
I then did a hard drive search-by-name for some of the missing tracks, and nothing turned up. But they must be on the hard drive somewhere, right? Or I couldn't play them in iTunes.
Baffled.

Scratch this thread.
Rebooted the computer twice, and all missing files have magically reappeared in their folder.
Go figure!

Can I batch download missing tracks from iTunes Match?

For some reason thousands of my tracks have gone missing in iTunes. No idea what can have happened, unless it was a consequence of messing with TuneSpan...! The exclamation mark icon appears next to the missing tracks. I can play them and download them if I go through a series of clicks so I could download tham all one at a time (indeed I started to do so) but to complete this job is going to take hours and risk giving me repetitive strain injury. Is there a way to get iTunes to download all the missing ytracks from Match?

Thanks. This will save me one click per item, but I still have to click each one individually a couple of times (ie to make it 'play' in order to get rid of the and then press Escape to dismiss the dialog box that comes up about searching for other missing files. (If I select multiple items and control-click for the contextual amenu, Download does not appear – only when I have gone through all of the above to turn into the iCloud download icon.)

Missing Tracks in iTunes Browser after Match activated

After iTunes Match successfully completed, not all tracks are found when using the iTunes Browser.
For example, selecting the Music icon on the left, ensuring that All Genres, All Arists and All Albums are selected within the Browser, I scroll down within the Artist window and select Artist "ABC" . Only three items appear, all of which are music videos.
However, when I enter "ABC" in the search bar, the 3 music videos appear along with all of the band's music tracks and digital booklets.
All "ABC" albums and videos were purchased thru iTunes earlier this year with the same Applie ID as I currently use within the store. None are marked as Complications and used to be found in the browser prior to activating iTunes Match.
Any ideas why they doen't appear when using the browser?

Same issue here... Found them on another disk though... iTunes will just say the files are missing and wil not process them. They'll be marked with an exclamation mark in front of the track name when in the numbers view. I first had to re-link the files (thus iTunes copying them to my iTunes Music folder) and then had to run iTunes Match again.
Sorry, iguess no workaround here. I may dsuggest you find a copy somewhere and then re-download them from the cloud.

Itunes import only missing tracks

When I imported my CD library into iTunes, I had limited disk space, so I only imported tracks that I like. Now that I have a larger hard drive, I'd like to import the rest of those tracks. Is there any easy way to import only missing tracks, leaving the previously-imported tracks (and their ratings and play counts) alone? If I have to manually check each album to see which tracks are already existing, it'll be a huge undertaking.

Just reimport the entire CD. It'll ask if you want to replace the tracks already imported.
Click Yes.
This won't change anything (playcounts, ratings) or anything else.

Complete my album downloads the missing tracks but then does not place it with the existing tracks in iTunes. i have a single song bought sat on its own and an album with a track missing, any ideas?

I had this same problem and started a thread, but for the most part nobody responded and those who did somehow didn't understand what the problem was.

I'm sure the problem is sweat getting into the apple supplied headphone "remote." Basically even the smallest drop can slide down the wire and get into the unit.
Unfortunately I haven't found a solution other than to get a Belkin remote adapter and some sport headphones. This doesn't give you voice over, but you can still control the volume, skip, etc.
I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and it hasn't had a freak out since.

HT4914 missing tracks (broken file limatching iTunes?

I have some missing tracks (broken file links) in itunes, will these sync with iTunes match?

Reply to self: I ultimately did speak to a sympathetic iTunes support staff. But, I figured it out just by talking iot through with him. For reasons that remain unknown, large swaths of my library were "hidden" by Windows. Unhiding and clicking to apply to sub-folders does not function as intended. The Microsoft support personal left it with clicking on every single file and unhiding. But I did ultimately unhide everything by using the HIDDEN parameter in Windows Search, which makes available all files for group clicking "Off" the hidden feature. Unfortunately. major library damage already incurred before all this was figured out. Albums missing tracks, etc. With a folder by folder comparison to several backups, I managed to re-create the basic file structures. I also cleaned the hard disk by shifting old Music backups off the drive so that now there is 769 GB used, 1.16 TB free of a 1.81 TB available hard drive. Rebuilt the library using the latest download available 9/25/2012. Have gone through the shifting of the directory structure out of iTunes/iTunes Media to just iTunes. A shift which I approve of but a warning would have been nice. Have gone through the varisous corrections to Compilations, Music Videos, Audiobooks which are clearly tagged incorrectly as iTunes cannot rebuild to previous specs. And now I am stuck with ERROR, ITUNES LIBRARY CANNOT BE SAVED, -50. Continuing to iognore the message results in a "Not Responding" iTunes, with a required force shutdown. I have used the File, Library, Organize feature several times today. Weeks of effort and I am right back where I started. Steve would be turning over in his grave, where's Apple's perfection? Customers are begging for alternatives and I've just joined their ranks. I want and love my media library but my life is not structured to this type of time committment.

Missing Artwork in iTunes & iPhone-Adding

For use with my new iPhone I purchased a new UMPC computer, i.e., Samsung Ultra Q1. Transferred music collection from my windows laptop, approximately 450 songs, 91 Albums. Installed iTunes 7.3.0.54. Added music folder to iTunes and iTunes converted the music as most were in WMA format. Synched iPhone and with the exception of missing artwork iPhone music looks fine.
A. One Album has artwork in iTunes but did not transfer over to iPhone. Any ideas what I should do?
B. Out of 96 albums 43 need to get Artwork. Tried having iTunes search/get but it was unable to find. From reviewing forums looks like I need to add manually. I have found the artwork in the respective music/cd folder on the original/source laptop. Looks like there is a large JPG and small JPG for the artwork, which one should I use to add to track/album manually. I assume once I get all the artwork on the albums in iTunes it will transfer over to my iPhone on the next sync.
Thanks
Kris

Hey Kristopherk07,
The smaller version of the artwork or thumbnail was probabbly being used by your other music application, I would use the larger version though.
This article describes adding artwork to tracks in iTunes.

List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks

I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.

This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list.

Missing Songs in iTunes Music folder.

I recently found that I have missing files in my iTunes music folder. The missing songs seem to be random. For instance, Abby Road is missing tracks 3 and 6. My music folder is on my main hard drive and I also have a Time Capsule backup.
When I look for the songs in my backup disk, I find I have to go back as far as 4 months to restore some of them and I just now found a song that was there yesterday but gone today. This leads me to believe that a few songs are randomly being deleted every day. Anyone else with this problem?
I'm using iTunes 10.1 but apparently I've been having this problem for at least 4 months now so I believe it was an earlier version when it started happening.

redcore,
I got an answer from AppleCare on this one and it seems to be working as I have not noticed any more lost songs. The first person I talked to had never heard of this but his boss had and told me I needed to create a new iTunes music folder. This is a bit of a pain, but not as bad as going through TimeMachine to replace all the random, missing files (that part took a while).
You have to Option-click (hold option while you click) on the iTunes icon and then click "Create new library". Name it something different from your old one and then drag all your old content into the new library. You will have to do this with the music, apps, movies, etc. Also, keep in mind you will have to export all your playlist info to the new iTunes as well. I didn't export them all so I'm not sure how, or if, you can do them all at the same time. I did File/Library/Export Playlist in the old iTunes... Than had to do File/Library/Import Playlist when in the new iTunes I had created.
Hope this helps

Missing track from download

Hi,
I am in the middle of downloading an album but one of the tracks is not listed.
It isn't in my library either, how can I get the missing track.
Oh how I would love some proper support from apple instead of this forum!

If the track doesn't appear automatically once the album download is complete, look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the track there to be downloaded.
If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department through the form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (that is how you get support from the iTunes Store) and explain the problem to them.
Regards.

I recently had my computer stolen and not my purchases from I tunes store were backed up. I've been told there is a way that I can re-download my missing tracks from the store without having to pay for them again. Is this true, if so, how do go about it.

Unfortunately, redownloading of past music purchases isa still in beta test and only available in the US right now.
It's due for everyone this fall. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you can't wait, contact the iTunes Store Support Team at this link
If you get lucky, they may be able to authorize another download now.

Remove missing music from iTunes database

I have been converting my music from one format to another and (because I don't know how to replace the original version rather than just creating a new copy) deleting the old version. Doing so leaves me with two references in iTunes to the relevant music, one copy of which refers to a now missing track.
How can I rebuild the database so that the duplicate and now missing tracks are deleted but the data for the new versions including last played time is untouched?
I presume I can rebuild the database by deleting all music from iTunes but not the disk and then adding my iTunes folder again but I also presume that this will delete all the last played times and ratings.

you might find this script useful:
Super Remove Dead Tracks
Surveys iTunes for tracks whose files are no longer available (so-called "dead" tracks, as indicated by a "!" next to their names) and removes them. Progress is breezily indicated every 500 tracks while iTunes is the frontmost app.

Reconnecting missing tracks all at once?

When in the library I often click on a track only to find that the track is unconnected. If I then use Windows Explorer I always end up finding the missing track which I presumably misfiled. I then cut & paste the track into the folder 'Automatically add track to iTunes library' & this seems to be just creating a shortcut to it. At least this works. This fixes just one track I'm looking for a solution that is a more efficient way to reconnect all missing files in one hit.
Is it possible for instance to get a complete list on unconnected tracks & then have these tracks have shortcuts created for them? Is there any better solution?

Yeah,if you immediately close itunes, connect the missing exHD, and reopen itunes, everything should be OK.
You are only stuck with a 3-hour project if you panic and change a bunch of itunes stuff while the exHD is still missing.

Can't delete metadata for multiple tracks in iTunes 12

Hi. I have about 20 tracks in iTunes and I want to delete the metadata on all of them at once, something I've done a thousand times on prior versions of iTunes. I select the tracks, hit Apple-I, and make global changes, i.e. deleting all the track numbers or clearing out the composer box, etc. But now, it's not happening. I click into the box, hit Delete, the grey dash will disappear, but when I go to another box, the dash returns and when I leave the Info dialog, the boxes aren't empty.
However, when I do the same thing to the tracks individually, it works.
Is there an extra step that I'm missing, one that's new to iTunes 12?
Thx!

Same issue. The error says not enough space for me -- go to settings to alter. Takes me to storage -- and the video is not listed as using storage!
I have 8 episodes stuck there -- some even play -- but none will swipe to delete. To test I did swipe to delete a video podcast -- no problem. Just my TV Shows seem to be permanent fixtures.
Connected to the computer to see what ITunes showed as installed TV Shows on the device -- nothing there...!!!
