Music library not shown

I am guessing that after the last update to 6.03 my muisc library was moved out of iTunes. I see my music via Finder but not when I open iTunes. How do I put the music back there?

Put your library wherever you want, then . . . open iTunes, it'll either ask you to go find your library or . . . you go to the Prefs and tell it where it is.
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced (button):
At the top of the panel - "iTunes music location". Click the "Change" button and go from here.
Hope this works for you!

Music Library Not Shown when Started ITunes

I conneted my Ipod nano (2g 8Gb)to sync with my PC and if any updates were available, only to be faced with the error of "Ipod has been synced with another Itunes library" which it has'nt. In addition Itunes was not showing any of my music files.
I checked with preferences and Itunes is looking in the right place but is not showing the files in the normal way.
I have upgraded to Itunes 8 today thinking that the process may resolve the issue but it has not, can any one help?

Hi guys,
Just a note, itook the long way round to this problem and manually found all my tracks in the itunes library. this seems to have solved my problem, albeit it was a bit boring. I then re synced my Ipod with Itunes. It would be interesting if anyone else has solved a similar problem much easier however.

I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. My iCloud is turned on. All my music initially did go to my iPhone

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there. iTunes Match is a different service from iCloud.

I want my kids to have the ir own iTunes accounts so they can manage their download on individually. I have a rather extensive music library (not purchased from Apple, but ripped from CD's). Can I use my iTunes libray to put music on their devices?

the iTunes app on the iPad is updated when the iOS is updated. What version of iOS is on your iPad?
The message you are getting is about updating iTunes is for your computer, not the iPad. The current version of iTunes is version 11.

Music library not showing correctly in the scrolling pics

ver 3 - when I open my computer and it loads my library - I am sitting at music, it keeps scrolling the same 3 pictures - is there a way I can make is scroll my albums correctly, I have an extensive album collection and would like to see it scroll through them -

Music is not synced to the cloud. In iTunes 11, yes. Music is stored online, but this is a function of the iTunes store, not the cloud. Only purchased content from the iTunes store will be available on the cloud. If a song is downloaded from the cloud to your computer, or already exists as a file on your computer, then it will show up as a song that is not on the cloud, but just on your computer. However, if you remove these songs from itunes and from the computer, and then restart iTunes, they will show up as being "on the cloud".
Cheers!

Bug: iTunes Music Library Not Showing Song Name Category

As the title says: the iTunes Music library does not the track/song name category.
I realized this after clicking "Auto Size All Columns" after a fresh install of iTunes. The track/song name disappears from the current view, and isn't an option when right-clicking the categories.

5800 Comes With Music - library not refreshing!!

Hi everyone, I recently got a 5800 Comes With Music phone and registered the phone within the Music Store. I don't have a PC I can use so I wanted to use the phone to download music. I managed to download a couple of tracks and they were stored in my music library when I chose the 'Refresh Library' option. However, the next batch of songs I downloaded show as complete in the 'My Downloads' section but when I go into my music library and try to refresh it, it just says '0 Files Added'. Why is this? I'm not doing anything different to what I did the first time, yet whatever I try, I can't add the latest downloads to the library. It's driving me mad!! Has anyone had the same problem? Am I missing a step - I'm literally selecting download, waiting for it to complete then going to the library and choosing refresh.
Thanks!

Hey man, yh i'm afraid i'm having the same sort of problem as you.
I've bought and downloaded new songs off of the internet and have tried to put them onto my phone with little success.
Originally I got all but 1 song off the album into my library, through bluetooth, but when i came to play them later in the day (even though they were working earlier) they couldn't find the files and therefore were useless.
I tried, when I got home, to put them on later through the applications you download through your PC (like Nokia Suite and Nokia Music) and seemed to get them on fine but when I looked for them in my library they weren't there.
It seems like they are happy for you to put it on to your phone so that you can find the file in File Manager but won't let you put it in your library.
Sorry I couldn't give you any help but I thought it would be a good idea to put my problem up on here as well.
Good Luck mate

Entire music library not found

My entire music library in iTunes says that it cannot be located. I tried to create a playlist and it says I cant do it bc the song is not found. Now all of my music cannot be located. I haven't done anything to my library, it just happened all of the sudden.
Can somebody please help?
Thanks

do you keep your iTunes folder on your startup disk or on an external HD ?
if the former, launch iTunes with the option key pressed and, when prompted, click on +choose library+. now navigate to the +iTunes library file+ inside your iTunes folder.
if the latter, is your entire iTunes folder on the external or just the iTunes music folder ?

5800 music library not working..

my 5800's music library is not working anymore and it cant play mp3 and other sound files.. but when i remove the memory card..it can play the sounds..also my picture editor is not working..
in my memory card..i found many folders namely _PAlbTN..is it a virus??
do I need to reformat my memory card?
and what do i haveto copy on my pc when i format it?
just the mp3 videos and pictures? or do I have to copy also the folders like private, sys, etc?
pls help..

That is a thumbnail file.
You can format the card if you want, but that would also bring problems on the apps if you do not uninstall them first as your phone will read then as not uninstalled properly and you wont be able to download them again from Ovi Store. So when you format it, just copy your own files (music, pictures, etc) and leave everything else alone.
How exactly does your music player not work anymore. Has it stopped showing songs? Cant it refresh?

Music library not syncing

I have 4641 songs in my iTunes library. When I sync my iPhone only 1106 songs are transferring over. I have "sync entire music library" checked. I don't understand why most of music is missing. I have plenty of room on iPhone for the full library.

is all your content "checked" in the main itunes library window ?

N91 Music Library Not Refershing Properly

Hey everyone, im having a problem with my N91s music library, the title of this thread should be pretty self explanatory but then music librarys failing to find any of the tracks ive transferred onto the hard disk. i can browse to the files in file manager and play them there but refreshing the music library returns "mucic library refreshed, tracks added: 0" my firmware version is 1.00.028.58, im just waiting for nokia to release the newer version online and im hoping thatll fix things, has anyone else had this issue and can someone confirm that its fixed in the latest firmware?

yeah, thats the punishment i get for being an "early adopter". ive managed to temporarily fix it by backing up, formatting the hard drive then restoring factory settings and restoring the backup. its hardly ideal but hey, it works.
im gonna hold on untill the N91's firmware is avaliable to update online, im kinda secretly hoping that maybe the reason online firmware upgrades became avaliable now is because the WMADRM update for N91's is imminent and nokia wanna make it nice and easy for other users to upgrade
*in my dreams*

Music library not displayed after iOS 6.0.1 update

Okay so I updated to iOS 6.0.1 when it came out. Everything went smoothly however just a few days ago I thought I'd listen to some music. I opened up my music app and found that instead of my regular library of 3,000+ songs I had only 74. Before updating to 6.0.1 I had been listening to to Glenn Miller. Oddly enough Glenn Miller was not displayed in my artists list but the 'Now Playing' arrow would still take me to his album and I could play the whole thing. I did a search in my phone and nothing showed up for Glenn Miller. I checked my usage in settings and although under music it only said 435mb the total usage was the same as when my music took up took up about 23GB. This led me to believe that the music was still there but just not being displayed for some reason. I had a look around on the Internet and it seemed people had been having problems with the update but I couldn't find a similar case to mine.
Now you're probably thinking just restore your phone through iTunes. Buuuuuut I am currently traveling and don't have access to my laptop. I don't have iTunes Match so I've no way of re-syncing.
So my question is has anyone had a similar experience and found a way to fix it without going through iTunes? Or if you're from Apple please release a fix in 6.1!!

Sorry nobody from Apple reads these forums.
When you get back from your traveling resync your phone to itunes to get your music back.

ITunes music library not completely syncing with my iPod touch??

I have restored my iPod, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. When I look at the file structure, there are multiple folders with music in them, not all consistent. Any ideas what I could do to get all the music where it is supposed to be. My library is a mix of ripped CDs and purchased from iTunes Store.
Interestingly, when I open iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop, all the music is there and available to listen to.

You can see that the ipod is connected, it goes through the syncing process but it dosen't sync the library back to the ipod anymore. A month or so ago I did the update and it was doing the same thing. So iuninstalled itunes, reinstalled 10.6.325 and fixed my register to get it to start syncing again, I had to index 5500 songs all over again. then i tried to sync to add some new music last night to the ipod and itunes erased everything and didnt re-sync.
I just restarted the ipod and tried sync through wi-fi and it seems to be working, so I dont if its fixed or what.
