Music files not showing up in library when transferred from computer?

Just got an 80gb ipod classic. Haven't the slightest clue how to use it. Reading help and stuff but not getting answers. I transferred music from my computer to my music folder in Itunes but they don't show up in the library? They're probably WMA files but they need to be converted. I thought they were supposed to do it automatically? There are no instructions on how to do this in itunes help. Anyone have any solutions?

Wave your mouse over the WMA files in WIndows Explorer. There should be a pop-up info balloon.
Does it say they are protected?

Combing two large libraries (over 1.25 TB total) and music will not show up in library but does in media folder. Help?

I'm a Windows PC user, and I'm currently in the process of combining my 12,000+ song library on my laptop (we'll call it Library A) with a 180,000+ song library (Library B, and yes, one-hundred-and-eighty thousand) onto a new hard drive. I have successfully moved Library A from my laptop onto my new hard drive. The method I have tried so far to move the Library B music into A on the new hard drive is by using the "Add Folder to Library" and selecting only a small portion of the folders in Library B's media folders as not to overload iTunes and to be able to pinpoint problems.
This worked for a few small iterations but the moment I tried doing half of the "A" artists (alphabetically), most of the music doesn't show up in the library. Some of it doesn't show up in the regular library but in the "Recently Added" playlist, and some don't show up in either. I have even tried adding just single files now and those don't show up at all.
THEY ALL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA FOLDER ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE. That is why I think this might be true but I'm not sure: I've heard that it is because iTunes needs to process all the songs before it shows up in the actual library. Is this true? I have waited over an hour for adding about 6,000 songs; half showed up right in the beginning and half haven't yet. When I added about 4,000 just before this, they all showed up without any problems.
Any help? And is there an easier, error-free way to add this many songs into a new library at once? I'll keep this updated for anyone trying. Thanks in advance!
I have tried signing out and signing in and that does not work either.

hey.
finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

E71 - Camera not working/music files not showing

Just recently, the camera on my E71 isn't working. It says it's being used by another application or something. Also, the music I put in my phone doesn't show up anymore. However, when I plug it into my computer, the files are still there. Does anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it?

check whether the scanner application is running in the background... happened to me once. press the home key long and check open apps, if you see any app that uses the camera, close it.
Music files might not show up at first, go to music player, press option and select refresh, the device will now scan for music files...

Hi
even i faced this kind of problem earlier.
You could control this through ABAP too.
i used
CONCATENATE '=REPLACE("' wa_abc-ordernumber '",1,14,"'
wa_abc-ordernumber '")' INTO lv_order number .
then pass lv_ordernumber to the fianl table..
Note: 14 is your sap field length.
lv_ordernumber(56) type c

Music files not showing up...but still on ipod

So today i plugged in my ipod and itunes opened up and I immediately noticed that the music files were not able to be viewed, but the ipod still read that it had x number of files and x number of gb's used. Is it possible to recover my music files. I am still able to view my contacts. Anyone find a solution to this problem without restoring the iPod to factory specs?
Thanks,
dee

Try Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
There's also a similar program called Yamipod which has a Mac version.
I've used both these on a Mac with great success, but of course the iPod needs to be redable by your computer.

Original ipod not showing up in itunes when connected to computer

My original ipod has worked fine until a few months ago. I connected it to my 10.4.7 Mac and it won't recognize that it's hooked to the computer. The ipod screen just says "OK to disconnect". I downloaded the new itunes but that didn't do anything, and I'll try the 5 R's, but any ideas if that doesn't work? It's not full, so I don't know what's wrong with it.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
Still no joy? See these.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
Try it in disk mode.

Photos lost in another library when transferred from old mac. Can't work out how to update them.

Hi I've imported photos from my old mac onto my new but could not find them in iphoto. When I searched for them I realised they were in another library. I transferred over to what I think is that library and it said I needed to update the softwear for them which I tried to do but after downloading could not understand apple's instructions. They said to choose the Go menu in Finder - what's that?!! Now when I tried to go back to my other library I couldn't find it ahhhggg!!!

What version of iPhoto were you using on the old Mac? What version on the new, Mac.
If you try to open the "older" library with the iPhoto on the new Mac it will need to convert it to the newer version. If the older version was iPhoto 7 or earlier and the new vesion was iPhoto 9.5 then you will need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.
So if you will provide information asked for we can go from there.

Music not showing up in library after drag and drop (7.0)

Music will not show up in library after draging and dropping .mp3's into itunes. Also won't show up if I try the File > Add Folder to Library. The processing files box shows up like its going to work, but it just doesn't. I have tried many differnet mp3's, some actually DID import.
Also, double clicking on an mp3 will bring up itunes, but it will not load or play the song.
I currently have 55.5GB of music, and 10,158 songs. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Music Not Showing up in Library

I have the latest edition of iTunes and just discovered something odd.
Sometimes I drag & drop folders of MP3 music that I got from other sources directly into my iTunes Music folder.
I just realized that this music does not show up in my Library in iTunes unless I specifically use the "Add Folder To Library" feature in iTunes.
HUH?
Is there any way to have iTunes atomatically scan the iTunes Music folder for new additions and automatically add them to the library? I can't understand why it wouldn't do this...but it's not.
Help.

With your iPod connected to your computer and iTunes running, select your iPod form the left pane, click the File menu in top bar, from there select "transfer purchases from iPod"
