Not all songs importing!

On every CD that I have imported songs on to my computer, not all of the songs have imported. Sometimes half of a CD will not get imported. I've even tried importing the songs over and over but, nothing happens. When I import the songs they go into the library. Then iTunes freezes on the last song. I end the program(CtrlAltDelete)and bring up the program again. Some songs that I saw go into the library are not there. Someone please help.

Thanks but either I am not understanding something there or I am missing something.
This seems to be more of a pain in the arse to deal with.
The issue is when artists feature other artists. For example I imported the Jusitn Bieber Mistole CD and 5 songs are under the album but every song that has a feature artist is separated into its own entry. Its unfortunate that you can't just copy and paste or drag and drop it into the correct album.

    Are the songs authorised to the same account? 
    Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail.  You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name.  Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
    To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes.  It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
    If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD).  You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song.

  • Not all songs downloaded - help!

    I recently upgraded from a 2Gb nano to a 8Gb (red) nano. Everything works fine except not all songs have downloaded. I have tried some of the bewildering suggestions but still have the problem. I have the latest version of itunes loaded. Anyone able to help

    I have solved the problem myself!
    The songs were all downloaded but did not show up. The reason was that if there are a few songs by the same artist and the details of album are only entered for some of the songs the others do not appear under that artists name. If you look under 'Songs' all songs are there. Strange but true!!

  • Home sharing iMac and MacBook Pro: not all songs are playable

    Hello
    I set up Home Sharing between my iMac and MacBook Pro so that I could stream the music that's on the iMac to the MacBook Pro. On the MBP there are no songs, all of them are in Apple Lossless format on my iMac. I first tried to use "‘share my library on my local network" but because I wanted the play count to go up as well I chose for "Home Sharing". Setting up was simple. After all preferences were adjusted, I opened iTunes on the MBP and it immediately found the shared iMac library. There's now only one problem: not all songs are playable. Some don't even start. How is this possible and what do I need to do to resolve this?
    FYI: the iMac is connected via ethernet to my cable modem which sends a wireless Wi-Fi signal to the MBP. Signal quality is excellent.
    Also, is it possible that playcount is only available with Home Sharing and not with "share my library on my local network"?
    Thanks!

    It very well could be the antivirus app, most are intrusive and debilitate rather than enhance performance and should be removed using the developers instructions. You haven't really told us anything useful such as any settting you may have changed. However if you began working backwards resetting any changes and uninstalling the apps added since the performance issue started then you probably will find your issue. 

  • Sometimes i copy CD to the i TUNES, but not all songs. I have an iMac

    Sometimes i copy CD to the iTunes but often not all songs..why??

    iTunes only allows you to transfer songs from an iPod if they were purchased in the iTunes Store.
    As they were transferred from a CD, you have to use an application like Senuti > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ It will transfer the music from an iPod to iTunes

  • Not all songs are getting synced into my iPhone

    Why is this? I have no clue. Only ~200 of my ~500 songs are getting uploaded.
    Also, what's the best way to store songs in my computer, such that it will not get duplicated on my iTunes and/or iPhone?
    Currently, I store the song as "Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven" on my computer.

    Are you manually managing music and videos, or syncing?
    If syncing, do you have all songs and playlists or selected playlists selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
    Under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences, do you have Sync only checked songs and videos selected?
    If so, are all songs selected or checked in your iTunes music library?
    Also, what's the best way to store songs in my computer, such that it will not get duplicated on my iTunes and/or iPhone?
    When importing songs from another source besides the iTunes Store or when imported from a music CD, there is an iTunes option to copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library, which is available at iTunes preferences under the Advanced tab below General.

  • Just upgraded to 2.2.1 and not all songs play

    On my iPod Touch, I just finally upgraded the software from 1.x to 2.2.1. Now, only a few songs will play. Others appear to play but there's no sound. Odd thing is, it's like my last 3 or 4 purchases that play (some songs and one album--going back about a month) but older purchases do not play (only have purchased music, no imported CDs on the iPod).
    Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not really sure what to do. Am going to synch it to remove all songs then re-synch them back on, but didn't know if there was a better solution.
    It seems like I'm reading that 2.2.1 is a little buggy, I'm wondering if I will run into other problems as well.

    I would simply restart the touch and, if that didn't do it, a reset.
    Restart: Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the red slider and turn the touch off. To restart it, hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo and then let go.
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down together for about 10 seconds. When you see the Apple logo again, let go.
    FYI - 2.2.1 was a minor update to fix a few little things. It is only buggy in some people's hands. Most of us have experienced no problems.

  • HT4235 not all songs syncing to ipod nano

    Good day. I have noticed not all my songs are being synced to my ipod from laptop itunes. They are all checked and purchased. Any ideas ? Thanks

    Hey nanonano27,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues syncing music to your iPod nano. The answer to your question will stem from how you have set up your iPod nano to sync: Automatically, Automatically with Selections, Manually, Autofill. I have included an article that outlines these options:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • Not all songs transferred from iTunes to iPod

    iPod touch 3G, intel iMac (Leopard).
    The iTunes library has just been rebuilt with all files present and correct, cover art etc and AFAIK all tunes play OK. (Took ages, but it's all good!)
    1. Removed all songs from iPod
    2. Updated OS to 5.0.1
    3. Synced all music to iPod from iTunes. At the start I got a message saying that "This computer is not authorised to play some songs and they will not be transferred". However the iMac is of course authorised, and all the songs were either bought through iTunes on the iPod and transferred (over the last 2 years) or bought direct to the iMac, or ripped from personal CDs.
    4. Unchecked "sync all songs", switched to "manually manage music" and put them on manually. Same result but without the above message apperaing.
    There's 7503 songs on iTunes and only 7431 on the iPod.
    Two questions:
    Does anyone know why this should be?
    Is there an easy way of finding out which songs are missing? I've checked the ones I remember purchasing on the iPod originally, and they're all there.

    You go to iTunes>file>move folder 2 library then you slect the folder your songs that you downloaded r in and click ok.
    And more you can follow this tutorial about how to tranfer music from computer to iPod.
    Cheer.

  • Not all songs from an artist are available in the artist tab as some songs are from compilation albums. is their any fix for this?

    In the Artist tab, I am unable to see all the songs I have for that artist under their name. It looks like the artist tab is organised by album artist so therefore any artist I have on a compilation album can only be found under various artists. Is there any way around this, cause its the only thing thats ******* me off about the new ITunes.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • Iphone lost tunes plus "error 50" with many but not all songes

    My iPhone 3GS used to sync without difficulty to iTunes 9 running on XP
    I have recently updated to iTunes 10.0.1.22 on the PC and to 4.1 (8B117) on the Iphone 3GS
    When I try to sync the iPhone backs up successfully but I get numerous “error -50” when it tries to sync music. The song tracks themselves are not damaged in the iTunes library, they play via iTunes normally. Additionally, and alarmingly, repeated attempts to sync have wiped out most of the tunes on the iPhone, which have reduced from the 6207 there originally to 127.
    I have two Ipod 5th generation and they get the same error and have started to lose songs, though not so many as I have stopped trying to sync
    I have reinstalled iTunes clicking on the repair option ( i.e. I have not completely uninstalled iTunes) and it has made no difference, I have also bought and run a registry cleaner called Perfect Optimiser as it was recommended on some forum as a solution, and that has not improved matters.
    I suspect the problem lies with iTunes and the PC rather than with the iPhones/iPod.
    Can anybody tell me how to solve this ?

    I should add that the two iPods that we have ( not iPhones) sync correctly, though they are both seen as cameras, so I suspect that the problem is in the iPhone, and to recap, the songs the iPhone is displaying have shrunk from 6200 to 127 and when I try to sync nearly all songs come up with an error 50 banner. and sometimes iTunes tell you the iphone has all 6200 songs and sometimes only 127. Is there anyway just to clean off all the songs only from the iPhone, stop the 50 errors and just reload the music library ?

  • Not all songs appearing in Artist view

    I have an issue where under Artist view, which is what I normally use to browse songs on my iPod, not all of the songs that are stored on my iPod appear. So far, it appears that if I have an artist with songs under only one album (and tagged as such) and also a few miscellaneous songs that aren't tagged with album name information, then when I select that Artist under the artist view, it automatically opens the album and only shows those songs. When I hit menu to go back, it just goes back to the listing of all artists I have, instead of giving me an "All" option that will allow me to see the additional songs that I have. If I want to find those songs, I have to scroll through the list of 3500+ songs under the all songs listing, which obviously takes forever, even scrolling quickly.
    I have verified the tags on all 3500+ songs, and have reset/reinstalled and deleted/reloaded all software and songs, multiple times.
    Is this a bug? If not, how can I get these songs to show properly under the Artist view?

    There are a couple of things you could check out that might explain what's happening. Usually two things contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album.
