Music Removed from My Music?

I'm a US Premium user using Spotify in Canada. I haven't changed my country or billing address in the settings. The other day I noticed songs were missing from both "My Music" and "Starred" playlists. About a dozen or so.
Among others, the songs were by X Ambassadors and Adam Lambert. All stuff that is sill available on Spotify - I just had to re-add them. I'm just confused how they got ghost-removed from my music and playlists. Any one else run into this problem?

Hey this was my first question ever on this forum, thanks for the quick reply ^_^ That's what I don't get. I've been in Canada for a few weeks. This happened just a few days ago. And the songs are still available - I just had to manually re-add them to "my music" and to various playlists (most "Starred"). I really hope this isn't a recurring problem because of bouncing around the border. Because, I often find myself bouncing between Canada and the USA.

All music removed from iPod, Music will not Sync, iTunes freezes

So I was syncing some new songs to my iPod, the sync went through alright, then I go to listen to my iPod to see that there are no songs on it, so I just kind of wave it off and go back to sync everything back on my iPod, only to have it freeze my iTunes. When I unplug the iPod, iTunes tells me it can't read the contents of my ipod and to restore it.
I have tried the following troubleshooting techniques.
A. Reinstall iTunes.
B. Reset iTunes driver. (By this I mean Restart "iPod Service"
C. "Format" iPod driver.
D. Check for updates
None have helped.
What should I do? My warranty is not covered but I seriously am not considering getting a repair for the cost offered.

How can I get music REMOVED from iTunes Store?!

I manage a band who has never been signed to a record label however, they had a distribution deal which has since expired and the company went under. Apparently they put a CD up of my band on iTunes Store and items look to have been purchased as the Popularity "meter" is maxed out on some. Where the money is going outside of Apple's cut... who knows. But how can I get my band's music removed from iTunes' Store? I can't find contact numbers anywhere. Thanks for any help!!

I forgot to mention that the distributors with who we have an expired contract are no where to be found. yikes.

How to remove from iPad music files that do not appear in iTunes?

A 'phantom' music Album files appears on my iPad, in the Albums view of the Music menu. The album cannot be played and the three tracks on it appear greyed out when it is selected. It is not present in my iTunes library on my PC. Is there anyway that this file can be deleted or at least removed from the Music/Albums view?
Similarly, I downloaded a free track from iTunes directly to my iPad. This now shows on both my iPad and iTunes on my PC. However, I do not wish to keep the track on my iPad. Removing it from the playlist that sync's to the iPad does not remove it from the iPad. Is there a way to resolve this additional issue?
iPad is an iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1. iTunes is version 10.5.2.11 on a Windows 7 laptop PC.
Thanks, any suggestions welcome.

If you try syncing with iTunes again, perhaps the phantom album will be erased since it does not exist on the computer.
Have you tried restarting or maybe resetting the iPad to see if the album will disappear?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Help - retrieving music removed from ipod/itunes

I followed the steps to remove some songs of my daughters that were updated on to my ipod. I followed the steps by selecting the songs and clicking clear on the edit menu. After clicking clear a box pops up with options and I selected "keep files". The songs were removed from my ipod but also seem to have been removed from itunes/hard drive and can't be located. Are they gone and if so is there any way to get them back? Some of them had been purchased from the itunes store. If they are gone from my hard drive will they allow me to download them again without charge since they were already purchased?
Thanks (by the way they're not in the recycle bin)

I have just had the same problem yesterday, someone advised me to try PodUtil and it has worked just fine and repopulated my itunes listing from my ipod... there's a few niffty utilities thrown in but most of all its an excellent backup utility for your ipod/itunes. DL a trial version (with really annoying nag screens) on; http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php full registration is only £10.

Why was some music removed from store?

I saw the The Mighty Underdogs' CD's have been removed from the iTunes store. Anybody have any clue why? I was going to purchase yesterday and only two videos and a few singles were available. Weird.

I am not sure why you think it is weird. Retailers, including iTunes, have stuff going on and off sale all the time.
I haven't seen any news particularly about Underdogs, but it could possibly relate to licensing, distribtuion strategy, pricing issues, or many other reasons.

Over half of my music disappeared from my music library after updating to itunes 10.7

I use a Windows 7 operating system. Since updating my iTunes to the latest version, 10.7, over half of my music has disappeared from my music library. All 851 songs remain on my iPod, but my library shows only 187 songs after syncing my iPod with iTunes. Also, while trying to sync my iPod to my iTunes, I'm constantly being asked to authorize my computer (it's already authorized) and an unknown email address displays in the account sign-in window to sign in when trying to sync my iPod. I did not have these issues with iTunes before updating to the recent version. Any help is appreciated!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Transferring Music Bought from Nokia Music Store u...

I have bought music from Nokia’s Music Store (specifically, on the Finnish ‘Nokia Musiikkikauppa’). I have downloaded the music files to my computer, and would like to transfer them to my phone, a Nokia N82. In order to do that, I have tried to use Nokia Music Manager (v2.0). I am able to find the songs I downloaded on my PC in the ‘My Collection’ section of Nokia Music Manager, and I can see my phone ‘N82’ in the list below. However, when I go to File -> Copy to Phone, the ‘Copy to Phone’ line is greyed-out, and I cannot use that function. This makes no sense to me. Can it really be that I cannot use ‘Nokia Music Manager’ to transfer music I bought at the ‘Nokia Music Store?’
I partially suspect that this is indeed the case. From the Nokia Music Store help section, I have read “You need to use [Windows Media Player] in order to be able to play, burn and transfer the DRM-protected WMA files from Nokia Music Store.” From this, it would seem that only Windows Media Player can be used to transfer Nokia Music Store music to Nokia phones. However, I simply find it beyond belief that Nokia’s own music manager software cannot be used to transfer music bought from Nokia’s own music store to Nokia’s own devices.
Can anyone shed light on this case?

i had this problem, try doing it through the windows media player. i cannot remember exactly how i did it in the end but i did burn the music to a disc and i'm wondering if i loaded it from the cd in the end?

How can I remove a song from my iPhone? it is removed from my music list under "device" in i-Tunes in my computer, but remains on my phone.

I am trying to clean up and reduce the songs in i-Tunes on my i-Phone. I connect the phone to my computer, go to i-Tunes, and display the music list (songs). I then click "delete" on the song i want to remove, and it disappears from the list. The problem is, it remains in the song list in my phone, and won't go away, no matter what I do. Help!

It means no such thing. Your selection of songs to sync remains in iTunes regardless of what is currently on the device. After you delete the music from your device, connect it to iTunes, select it from devices:
Then select the Music tab, uncheck the few songs you no longer want on the device and resync.

Is Music Removed From The Itunes Store?

November 1, 2006
Hi Guys,
I was browsing around in itunes yesterday for some music I heard on a radio station. I found that itunes had several of the artists I was looking for, and I decided to return to the store today to buy them. However, when I went back on the itunes store, I tried using power search to pull the songs I wanted to buy up again, only to find that the songs weren't there (I just got the "Your search did not match any results." message)
The thing is, I KNOW that these exact same songs were on the power search just yesterday evening. Does Apple remove songs from the itunes store if they are not as popular as others, or is it just my itunes program acting up? (the songs I was looking at I found by digging way down deep in the Electronic section).
I would appreciate anybody's answers to this problem.
Thanks,
Phil Shaw

P.S. Here is a couple of songs I wanted to buy that have apparently "disappeared" from the itunes store. Mabey one of you guys could plug these into the power seach and see if they come up on your itunes program:
1. "Pimp on Vacation" by Unforscene
2. "Remember Me" by Elak
3. Various songs by The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination

Ph1l2007,
It is possible that you may be looking at the iTune Store for a different country.
Click on the Home icon at the top of the iTunes Store window, and the scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Make sure the country pull down is correct, and then try your search again.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

HT201365 So where is Find My Iphone on my device? Or is it like the Podcast app that I had to download when podcasts got removed from the music app? Why aren't these necessary (and free) apps included with the upgrade?

Itunes 5 will not play music purchased from itunes music sto

Just transferred myself from my flat panel imac to a new powerbook & Tiger - updated to 10.4.2. In itunes, all seemed to be working fine till I noticed that music I purchased in the Apple itunes music store would not play! I get a dialogue box saying "This computer is not authorized to play "xxxx". and asks me if I want to authorize it. I do so using my AOL screenname and password and then I am told "Machine authorization was successful. You have authorized this for 1 computer. You have a maximum of 5". I click OK but nothing happens. If I try to play the just-authorized song, I get the same screen ansking me to go thru the authorization process again - to no avail. So strange that this just happens with the music sitting right there in the "Purchased" folder. itunes 5 rejecting its own children. What to do?

Mike, Hi
Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

4.3 upgrade on 3GS, Music disappears from phone once you download a Podcast

Anyone having the same problem? Since I've upgraded to 4.3, if I download a podcast on my phone via wifi, all my music disappears and so do my podcasts. They are still on the phone but it says "there is no music, download from iTunes"
Music is easily restored if I connect the phone with my mac and play a song from my phone through iTunes.
Anyone know how to "cure" this?

The basics from the manual are reset, restart, restore.
Have you tried any of these?

Exporting Music listing from Creative Media Sou

Is there anyway of exporting my music listing from My Music Library to Smartlisttogo program?
Leif

Sure, if they are not protected WMP files.
Drag the audio files from the folder to the Library in the Source list
or choose File > "Add File to Library" and select the song file or folder.
