Not all music showing up in iTunes

The latest version and previous version of iTunes will not show all music in my iTunes Media folder. All my music files still exist in the Music sub-folder, but only those artists from T - Z are showing in iTunes. I have tried a previous iTunes library, but it is also not showing all music. I am on an a 64-bit HP laptop running Windows 7. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you feel that you have enough evidence of the symptoms, use the feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html to let Apple know. The "feedback type" of "bug report" has been removed from the iTunes feedback, so I suggest you use use "Other".
You will not receive any feedback from them, but they do read the submissions and act upon them. It can take a while, and more than one iTunes update before the issue is resolved.

Not all music showing up after Match

I recently subscribed to the iTunes Match service. Let it run overnight to match and upload my songs. I woke up in the morning, and my library was about 500 songs smaller!
Music Library: 1582 songs, 6.73 GB
Thankfully I had all my songs backed up, although this proved to be unnecessary, as the music IS still there upon further examination
All Music smart playlist: 2039 songs, 5.5 days, 8.89 GB
How odd. I created a smart playlist to easily identify which songs were and which songs were not in the Music Library
Now there is a very definite pattern: All the songs not included in the Library are those that (for whatever reason) couldn't be matched
1 ineligible song + 457 uploaded songs.
Most of those songs I know are in the iTunes store, so I am not sure why they aren't matched to begin with.

Are those apps purchased using a different Apple ID?
On iPhone, start App Store app, tap Updates (bottom right) > tap Purchased > tap Not on This iPhone
are those apps there?

Not all photos show up in iTunes sync

I have always used Lightroom (professionally) and iPhoto (snapshots), but decided to give Aperture a try and bought it this week.
I have imported the iPhoto library (about 8000 photos), which went well. Then I wanted iTunes to start syncing my Apple TV (1st gen.) with Aperture instead of iPhoto. This seems very simple and straightforward, but the 8000 photos that Aperture shows don't show up in iTunes. It gives me about 1700 photos (this number seems to vary). It's the same when I want to sync my iPhone.
What could go wrong here? Why isn't iTunes seeing all the photos that I see in Aperture? This worked fine in iPhoto.

Just stepped in the same problem on my Mac Pro, Aperture 3.2.1, iTunes 10.5.1 and iPad updated to 5.0.1.
Once selected Aperture as reference library for photo syncing I selected specific projects and faces. As a photographer I have volumes of material I just can't copy completely on devices.
I noticed the number on the right side of projects in iTunes were way below the actual content. Syncing just let me verify on my iPad a lot of picture were missing.
Deselecting Aperture and photo sync, erasing pictures from the device and restarting from the top didn't help.
Also repairing photo database gave no effect.
I solved by updating ALL photos previews in Aperture. It took the whole day, 16 hours, but in the end, quitting both AP and iTunes then enabling photo sync showed the correct amount for each project, same on iPad.

I have updated iTunes on my computer and my iPod nano 4 is up to date but not all music shows up in my iTunes library..only the purchased songs..what happened and how do I get them back into the library?

The music library in the updated version of iTunes is grossly incomplete although the music still remains on my iPod. Why did this happen and how do I get the music back into the library?

Hi Dalegu219,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of these screens:
Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
From:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Recently got a new computer and installed itunes from external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when i click on a song i receive this message "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". What do i do?

I recently got a new computer and installed itunes from which had been saved onto an external drive - all music shows up in the library, however when I click on a song I receive this message "the song "abc" could not be used because the original file could not be found". What can I do?

I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.

Not all music in iTunes will sync to iPhone4.

I have plenty of open available space on my iPhone4. But for some reason, not all the songs in my iTunes library will sync to the iPhone.
Any ideas??
Help please!
Thanks

Apple TV not syncing TV shows after updating iTunes

Hope someone can help!
I upgraded to the new iTunes version. Everything seemed to work fine - movies and music appeared. When I tried TV shows, nothing appeared. I checked my computer and saw that everything had been moved to the iCloud EXCEPT for the latest season of any TV show! For example, Glee Seasons 1-4 showed up but Season 5 did not. Nothing synced with Apple TV unless I downloaded it. Again, movies and photos are fine. Even movies that are not downloaded are showing up in iTunes but TV shows are not.
I restarted Apple TV with no effect. I de-linked and then re-synced my library but this did not change the problem.
I checked the settings and the box "Show only synced items on my Apple TV" is NOT checked but that is exactly what is happening.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Elizabeth Sullivan

I solved the issue - I had to go to Apple TV, settings, computer, and connect to my iTunes library. Even though my Apple TV had previously had been connected to my iTunes library and was visible on the Apple TV, it was now "greyed out". I had to select my library again and it immediately showed up in iTunes and I had to confirm with the code that appeared on the Apple TV. It did erase the content on my Apple TV and it will take time to re-sync, but it was immediately able to stream content from my computer. This set up is pretty much the same way I set it up in the first place. All is well....

My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3. this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Is there a way to view all music without albums on itunes 12.0.1.26?

Is there a way to view all music without albums on itunes 12.0.1.26?

Try the Songs option from the drop down list control near the top right. Use the same control to turn off Show Artwork if needed/desired.

Itunes will not launch, it shows message of "itunes library .itl" can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I tried opene it in save mode but I had the same problem.

If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:

•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:

Good luck & happy computing!
ps: i see you resolved this issue. it's magic!

Not all of my songs from itunes are appearing in garageband.

Not all of my songs from itunes are appearing in garageband. I want to make a ringtone with a certain song but its not there. How do I get it to be there?

Is it a song you have purchased? Maybe your song is protected by digital right management? Then it will not show up in GarageBand. Have a look in the Information panel if the kind of the song is "Protected".

I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song). I need a solution.

I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library (38.33 GB) only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song or 63.80 GB). I did not have this problem until syncing my library with the new Macbook Pro. I need a solution (a solution IS NOT sifting through my iTunes song by song and deleting the duplicates).

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer
