New music lists missing

i use to (for 1.5 years)see a text listing for new music for the current week plus older weeks but now (for the last 4 months)all i get is album covers for the current week. whats up????

Command-R didn't specifically solve the problem, but it did direct me to the correct place. The reason I couldn't see my files in the music directory was that after I upgraded to iTunes 6.0 everything was loading as a compilation. It therefore dumped all the new files into a compilation directory, which doesn't show up among the iTunes playlists.
I've re-set everything and all my files and directories are displaying correctly in the music directory.
Funny thing is, this didn't happen on my G4 Quicksilver at home that is running the same operating system.
Thanks for the direction.

  • Ipod "Syncs" but doesn't add new music

    My ipod has always worked perfectly fine with my computer and itunes. Yesterday I added a new mixCD to my itunes and tried to sync it with my ipod. My ipod shows up in the sidebar, and goes through a "sync" process, but hasn't added the new music.
    Additionally I tested my ipod's syncing abilities by changing the name of a song on my itunes. This song is already on my ipod touch, so if it synced properly, the name should change. I hit "sync" but name did not change and my new music remained missing on my ipod.
    Does anyone have any idea what this problem might be? I feel like it's probably something very minor I'm just not understanding.
    PS I have a second gen Ipod touch, but have yet to update it, could this be the problem?

    See if your Touch is set for "Manually manage music and video" (connect ot iTunes, look at the iPod's summary page). If so, then any changes you make in iTunes will not sync to the Touch -- that includes new music you add to iTunes, and changes you make to your library. If your iPod is in manual mode then you need to manually add new music, and if you change your library in any way you need to manually add the updated song(s) and delete the original version(s) on your Touch.
    If you don't want your iPod in manual mode, un-check the "Manually manage music and video" option in iTunes and click the Apply button. You will then be able to synchronize your Touch to iTunes.

  • I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but  over 3 quarters of my music is missing.

    I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

  • The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?

    The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?

    I have the same problem with new 11.0. Presentation of album data now seems scrambled in 'Album' screen. Instead of albums in alphabetical order with all album tracks I now get albums in the order of the Album Artist. Unless the album artist is EXACTLY the same, the tracks on any one album can be spread all over the screen (hopeless for compilations). Does anbody know how to get the Album screen to sort solely on the Album title?

  • Restoring from iTunes backup of my 4s onto my new 5s is missing all my photo albums

    My laptop is being repaired and therefore I have nothing from my iTunes library such as photo albums, music etc, except what is currently on my iPhone 4s. I may or may not be able to recover what is on my old laptop and won't know for several more weeks.
    Meanwhile, I asked Apple prior to purchasing my 5s if I would be able to transfer EVERYTHING that is currently on my 4s, into it, I was told "absolutely".
    So yesterday I used my friends outdated but functional laptop to download the newest iTunes and proceeded to backup my 4s. Then I restored from that backup onto my new 5s. On the first attempt the 5s was missing all photo albums (only had camera roll and videos) as well as 75% of my apps and what seemed like my entire music library! however upon closer inspection it seems to have had all of the music listed but not on the iPhone! each song had a little cloud with a downward arrow protruding from it. Not sure what that is about because the majority of my music is from discs and downloads that I manually added to my iTunes library, not from purchases made in the iTunes Store. Regardless, it does seem I have those songs available so this isn't the problem. The missing photo albums and apps is the issue. So I attempted a second restore of the same backup file. This time the apps seemed to have all come through but still no photo albums. I am now underway on my third attempt in the hopes that they will materialize the same way the missing apps did on round two. I will know in two hours when it finishes but I am not optimistic.
    Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Actually it only restored about 1000 of 4000 songs, so 3000 songs missing as well. And the 3rd attempt didn't yield any more songs or photo albums.

  • How do I move my music list from one external to another?

    As per my post a couple of minutes ago, I do not want to run the risk of Itunes deleting all my Ipod files again.
    I have put all my files onto an external hard drive. I was up until 4am this morning removing duplications in the music list. I never want to do that again.
    Here is what I would like to do: the external HD is labeled as drive E under "preferences"; it is a drive that requires ac. I have copied all the files to a USB 60 gig drive. The USB drive shows up as drive F so Itunes would not be able to find the files. The last time that happened (i.e., 2 days ago), it erased all my Ipod files.
    How can I make Itunes find all the files on the USB drive? If I can get that to happen I can always have the files with me.
    Thanks for help,
    Chuck

    Note: Canned response, so may not specifically address your questions, but may be enough for you to figure out what you want to do...
    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

  • When I add new music to iTunes, it doesn't appear under artists or anywhere else in library.

    The other night, I tried adding a bunch of music that I had sitting on my Seagate external hard drive to my iTunes library, which is also located on my external. I attempted to add around 1,500 songs at once. It was giving me problems at first and only added some of the music so I tried again. Now I have a problem.
    When I add new music, iTunes only recognizes that I added it after I close iTunes are restart it. But then, the music doesn't show up under artists or anything. The new music shows up under the Recently Added smart playlist, the folder is located in the iTunes library, and when you search for the music it says its there, but it's not under artists or in the song list or anything.
    Example:
    1. Added music from Abandon All Ships! (who I didn't have before), but they don't show up under artists despite the fact that iTunes says the music is there.
    2. Added music from Whitechapel (who I had before), but the album doesn't show up with the rest.
    Hopefully this makes sense the way I explained it. It's all rather frustrating.

  • How do I regenerate the music list in iTunes?

    I reorganized my music files to remove duplicates. The iTunes view shows the old list of music with duplicates. How do I regenerate the view to show only the current music list?
    Thanks

    Iam not absolutely clear what you have done.
    If you manually deleted duplicate files or moved them, you library will have lot of tracks with exclamation marks.
    These can be removed, either by collecting them in a playlist and deleting them from there, or with a script.
    Using a playlist to collect dead tracks.
    Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
    Select whole library and drag to Playlist1
    Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
    Live updating checked – after you run it, uncheck live updating or you may not be able to delete tracks.
    This playlist should contain all the dead tracks
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5696793#5696793
    Or you can use a Robert Jacobson script - iTunesremovenotfound at:
    http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/itunesscripts/
    The simplest method if you don't care about playlists and counts etc is to start a new library.
    Close iTunes and drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml out of the iTunes folder to the desktop.
    Start iTunes and an empty library is created. You can now add your music folder with File>>Add folder to library.

  • I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.

    I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.  The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud.  I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Any fix for random art and song order problems after adding new music?

    If I sync my touch with itunes as a restore, all cover art, albums and playlists are correct. Once I add anything new or make a change and re-sync, random cover art is missing and random songs are in the wrong order. The only way to fix the problems is through a complete restore. Has anyone else had this problem or figured out a fix? I am using the latest itunes on a PC with XP.

    A few issues, but sorry let me try to understand.
    Adding new music, 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' can you let me know the number. most likely music format is not iPod Compatible like HE-AAC.
    started skipping songs  - these are normally due to corrupted ID3 tags, try converting them -File-> Advance -> IPOD version or use MP3 validator to fix all songs in the library. (My Apologies, only work for MP3 music that skipped)
    As for item 2, you can try Hard Reset if you like to download MP3 validator.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
