Not all my music is showing up in itunes widow - although the music folder is full of music
I have transfered my music library from an older compter. All the music folders are now in the new compter itunes music directory.
But only a few of them are showing up in the itunes window. And those were all copy on the same date. What's going on here and how can I get all my music into my itunes?
File>Add to Library
Select the ENTIRE music folder.

I'm using home sharing But not all albums or artists show up as they do on my computer in itunes
I'm using home sharing with iTunes but not all artists or albums show up as they appear on the computer I'm looking at
Sure, but if I have International League Pass shouldn't there be a way to tap into that? I mean, if I can watch it on my computer, why can't I conveniently watch it on the television sitting right next to it via Apple TV. Seems odd...

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory
Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
ThanksApple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Not all of my emails show up in my iphone account. Only about two weeks worth - how can I access all of my inbox emails? I have hotmail and am not sure if this is a sync glitch or what...?
How are you accessing the "7 days" account: IMAP or POP?
Are there other computers accessing the same account? -
Can i restore all my music somehow? Even though not all 10,000 songs were purchased from iTunes Store?
Im so devastated and desperate to get my music back.
I deleted my User Account from the old LaptopUnless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past. -

My phone some how deleted not all but most of my contacts and then backup to the iCloud can I go back to a previous backup and retrieve the contacts. If so how.
Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy. -
i purchased a song on my Ipod Touch 4 GEN. and i listened to it not 5 mins before i synced it with Itunes...then i looked in my Ipod music library and itunes library...GONE. but when i go to download it, like with Apps when if you have purchased an app and it get's deleted...you can have it back for FREE

HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!! PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

Can I have in one iphone 5 music from more than one itunes accounts? My daughter and I have our music in the same pc. She and I have iTunes accounts. I have not been able to load in my ophone with my itunes acct music that she purchased in her account. I have not been able to do this. Thanks
iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?
I have done a little experimenting: 1-close all open windows (I found that I had to do this step in order to keep Safari from hanging-will be explained later). 2: Remove all data in Prefs. 3: Immediately close the prefs window (no window should be open at this point) and quit Safari. Try to complete step 3 fast as possible; I have it down to a few seconds. The reason I urge you to close all windows is that Safari hangs until forced to quit upon immediately quitting after removing cookies. I think the auto page reload in Lion is the cause of these hiccups but I can't be sure about that. The hasty quit I found is crucial to success. Don't know why that is but it could prevent the data from re-populating. A quick flush, if you will. Hit me back if you need any of my suggestions clarified; a bit wordy, I know

my ipod will not update. I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered. It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done. The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
Thanks,We won't know until you try the procedure. The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

Charging not supported with this accessory shows up on my iPad. The cable seems broken at the connector. Could it be that I need a new USB cable?
Yes, but should be covered under the warranty of your device (or any device under warranty using that cable) just bring it into the store.

I have tried to delete them manually. While deleting, When propmted, I select to move them to the recycle bin. They keep comming back without any interaction by me. I also have 2-3 different librarys. I have 2 HDD that have the itunes media folder on it.
I am willing to pay for phone support, but I was advised Apple does not offer phone support for Itunes. Is this true? Itunes 11.0 Win 7 64bit
I attemptede to back up Itunes onto an external drive. I drug the Itunes media folder to one of the drives. When I moved ir back I ended up with "A lot", of duplicates. I purchased a dup program. Not only did it remove duplicates, it removed a lot of songs. There we ! on the songs I lost.
My itunes is a big mess.
In May they removed a brain tumor, which makes this more difficult. Every time I attempt to fix itunes, I make it worse.
I appreciate any and all help I can get.
SSEasoest way is...
Quit iTunes.
Drag entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library.
Select the iTunes folder on the external.
Make sure the external is mounted and ready before launching iTunes.
