Number of songs on iPad

I have only synced a few playlists onto my iPad, and when I look at the song list in the Music app, it says there are 165 songs total, and that's correct, but when I go into Settings/General, it says there are 6125 songs loaded. That is not correct.
I do have iTunes Match turned on and Show All Music turned off, but that 6125 number doesn't match the number of songs I have in my 15,000+ song library.
So where is that 6000 figure coming from and how to I correct it?

I am having a similar issue. iTunes says I have 7,537 songs in the library but the iPad reports that it has 7,533 songs. I don't have room for pictures but the count of books and apps does match. iPad is running the latest OS and Mac is also up-to-date. Any ideas?

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)

How do I delete a large number of songs off my iPad

I have a large music collection and have downloaded a large number of songs onto my iPad (10GB). I don't need that much music on my iPad and would like to put the songs back in the cloud. I don't want to have to delete thousands of songs one at a time by swiping. What is the best way to do this?
I have a 4th gen iPad and I have iTunes Match.

Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

IPad iTunes Stores App Freezes due to large number of songs purchased?

The iTunes Store App on my iPad 4 freezes when I go to " purchases" on the lower right hand corner of the screen. The screen remains blank, with the twirling icon in the middle implying 'wait.' I wanted to avoid doing a "restore" to the whole iPad, as everything else on the iPad but this works fine. After several days back and forth emailing with with Apple iTunes support, the Tech concluded it was beyond his/her technical expertise, and gave me the phone # for Apple Cares. Initial diagnosis after my first call to them was that I needed to do a 'restore' to factory setting because Apple won't push through an update to their iTunes Store App. So, I backed up the iPad to my using iTunes on my my PC and to iCloud, then called back. This time I worked with a very pleasant Apple Rep who stayed with me on the phone for over an hour running diagnostic tests, trying different things like rebooting my iPad, unplugging and resetting my Wi-Fi modem (I used AT&T UVerse for Internet and had already had techs out checking that after the first call - no problem there), going to iTunes on my PC, and a number of other things. After conferring with a senior tech, the Apple Cares rep said they concluded it was due to the large amount of songs I've purchased. I don't think of myself as a large music purchaser, maybe 4 - 5 songs a week since I bought the iPad new a year ago. So, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Apple Cares was not able to tell me how to move songs out of "purchases" or whatever the bucket might be called where purchases are listed to clear this out if in fact it is the large number of songs there actually causing the iTunes Stores App to freeze. This is not an essential function, but I use it when I want to find the names of recently downloaded songs to place purchases into playlists. (I know, I should be able to remember the names, artists, etc. of the music a I purchase, but alas, no!) The nearest Apple Store is about 180 miles round-trip, and I won't get there for about two weeks. Incidentally, recently added songs show normally in the iPad's Music library. If anyone else has experienced this, was it fixed? If so how?

No, the problem still exists. As far as I know, the Case Number is still open. I've just not had time to set aside a day to bring the iPad into an Apple Store yet. It's about a 3 hr round trip, plus there'd be time walking to the store (it's inside a mall), and then the time spent while the iPad is looked at and hopefully fixed. Ugh!

ITunes on mac shows stream songs on ipad which are not there

I use iTunes on my MacBook Pro to sync ratings and playlists with my iPad and iPhone. After syncing I like to verify that the total count of songs matches that on the iPad and iPhone.
If I look at the number of songs on my Mac, and also look at the Music app on the iPad, they both display the same number of songs.
However...if I look at the Music "folder" under the iPad device in iTunes on the Mac when they are connected, I see a different count for the iPad. After looking, it appears this is due to a number of "duplicate" listings for the iPad songs - all of which are grayed out, and are shown as "Stream" under the Size heading.
I am unable to delete those listings on the Mac iTunes side, and multiple reboots and syncs of both machines has failed to clear it up. It appears to me this is a bug on the Mac iTunes side, since the iPad has the correct number, but it would be nice to clear it up. Makes me nervous about syncing between the Mac and the iPad. I am running OSX 10.8.5 on Retina MacBook Pro, and iOS 7 on iPad 3rd generation.
Any ideas?
While I'm at it...does anyone know if I were to use iTunes Match (I don't currently) would it automatically sync BOTH ratings and playlists across my Mac, iPhone, and iPad??
I use ratings a lot in order to build playlists of top songs by genre, and currently the only way I know how to do it is through sync from the master database on the Mac, but I seem to have had a number of issues with the sync over the last couple years.
Thanks!!

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

Number of Songs Discrepancy between iTunes & iPhone

There are 1,437 songs in my ITunes Entire Music Library. Due to problems I was having with my iPhone, Apple had me restore my iPhone 5S to "factory" settings and then back-up my iPhone to one of my backups before my iPhone began having problems. My backups have had 1,437 songs for quite a long time. Now the number of songs on my iPhone 5S has 1,348 songs. Why? What can I do to get all my songs back on my iPhone? I tried "Transfer" purchases thinking it did not get my purchased songs, but it didn't change the number of songs. I just purchased a new iPad Air 2 today and set it up. It has 1,437 songs.

An easy route is to setup a Smart Playlist for each category - note 'matched' and 'uploaded' will both count towards your 25k limit, 'purchased' do not count.

Can I limit the number of songs in a genius mix (not a playlist)?

I would like to limit the number of songs in a Genius Mix (not a Genius playlist). Is this possible in any way, including on iPhone or iPad? If so, how?
I've seen some earlier answers, but they apply to earlier versions of iTunes. I'm using 10.2.2.

Some of us don't have a boatload of free space on our iPods, and limiting the number of songs in the Genius Mix would allow us to synch the lists to the iPod and carry them around.
You can already do this...
A Genius mix is limited to how many songs in the selected playlist fit the Genius mix profile.
A Genius playlist is limited to 25, 50, 75 or 100 songs.
A Genius playlist is a limited Genius mix.

Can only synch a small number of songs at a time -- more than 20 or so yields "itunes has stopped working" error message.

When I try to synch more than a small number of songs at a time 20-30 or so), I get the error message "iTunes has stopped working." This happens on my iPod, iPad, and iPhone, so I'm sure it's an iTunes or computer issue. I'm using a PC with Vista.
I have reinstalled iTunes many times. I have also taken care to delete all iTunes related files from my registry. Any suggestions? It is a pain to manually synch my library in batches of 20 songs at a time. If someone has a solution to this, I would be SO GRATEFUL.

i found the problem. ipod doesn't like my new combo usb/firewire hub. plugged directly into USB card on computer, problem went away. yay.

How can I view the total number of songs in my iTunes?

iTunes no longer displays to the total number of songs. Also the side scroll bar has disappeared. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Marcia

You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.

The email account I used to purchase a number of songs inmy library is no longer active and I do not rember the apple ID associated with that email. How do I authorize songs I purchased on that account on my new computer?

Years ago I purchased a number of songs in my library using a corporate email address that is no longer valid and I do not remember the password. As I have no way to retrieve these songs and autyhorize them it because of the inactive account I cannot play the songs on my new computer without repurchasing them. Any suggestions?

Just authorize the computer and retreive them.

FYI: you should have simply updated the AppleID with new info and continued to use it instead of creating a new one.

How do I find total number of songs in my library in the new iTunes 11?

Last version of iTunes showed the total number of songs within the library on the bottom of the screen. Now that's disappeared and I don't know where to find that piece of info.
Any suggestions?

Click View>Show Sidebar
It looks about like the old version.
Or you can simply click your ipod name at the top of your screen and sync as always.
The new version is not that different from the old one
