Pdfs and MP3s in iTunes Folder not showing up iTunes Library - Please Help

Hi, I am running iTunes 10.7 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB of RAM using OS X 10.7.5.
My problem is that when I bring the latest set of pdf and MP3 files I added do not show up in my iTunes library.  If I go through the finder they are in the iTunes folder, but they will not display or play.
Thank you
Nucleus

They will not play or display even outside of iTunes?  Not with Quicktime Player (for the mp3s) or Preview (for the PDFs)?  If that's the case the files are probably corrupt.
Adding items to iTunes and not having them appear in the library is a recurring problem with newer versions for some.
Try restarting iTunes.
Check your recently added playlist.  If they are there, try temporarily editing an item in the name, then restart iTunes and see if it appears. 
Start iTunes, immediately hold down the option key and create a new, test library.  Add the files to it.  Do they add?  If yes, then they are readable by iTunes.  Go back to your old library using hte option key thing again.

    Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.

    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have to add them to iTunes. To do it, if you have your songs in an external drive or in the internal disk, open iTunes, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Add to Library, and search the songs. Another way is to drag the songs to your iTunes window

  • ITunes purchases not showing in iTunes and not transferring to iPod shuffle

    I Have been using ipod shuffles for several years as they are small and convenient for running. I have purchased 175 songs on iTunes and been forced to purchase FIVE iPod shuffle devices because the battery life in all five devices degrades after approximately 40 re-charges to the point that I only get 15 minutes battery time after a full charge. This is occurring on every iPod shuffle I have bought inclusing the latest one which is only two months old. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased several applications for my iPad and several new songs. I receive emails after each purchase. However, when I looked at my iTunes account, it showed all the items as a single item purchase and the songs were not even showing up as purchased or in my play list. This tells me that someone at Apple accounting is manually adjusting purchases and not itemizing them and the songs were not even given to me. I had to reinstall my entire iTunes program and they had to reinsert the new songs into my purchased playlist. That is why I couldn't transfer my songs onto my iPod shuffle. Now, with the latest IOS 8.3 update, I am getting all sorts of service problems like it says each time I turn on my laptop that I have inserted a CD or DVD, select the times I want to burn. It was never doing that before. It is also giving me all these warnings too:
    BookmarkDAV_client.exe - entry point not found
    The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll.
    icloudServices.exe entry point not found
    The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll
    Apple photo streams.exe entry point not found, etc,
    I purchased four new iTunes songs yesterday and only one of them transferred into my iPod shuffle. I am so tired and frustrated with the endless defects in Apple Products, that soon I am just going to say ENOUGH AND COMPLETELY STOP USING ALL APPLE PRODUCTS.

    The "Purchased" playlist you see on the right can be a little misleading. It's not mean to show all of the purchases you've ever made. To download (or just see) what a particular has previously purchased used this resource. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

    Bad feeling I may have to go into the Genius Bar
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks in advance

    Update:

  • Recently purchased iTunes songs not showing up in Library

    I'm a MAC user and am having issues with iTunes 11.   I have Match.  When I order a song off iTunes it doesn't show up in my library.  I search on my hard drive and it's not there.  I see it when I go to my purchased history within the iTunes store (Home page, down at bottom, Featured --> Purchased). There's a downward arrow next to the song, which indicates that it's available for download but it's not on my hard drive.  I download the song, and then it appears in my library.   This used to be ocassional but not happens every time.  Anyone have any idea of what's going on?
    What's weird is that when I purchase a song, the download arrow and status bar look like it's actually downloading something.  But believe me the song is not on my hard drive. 
    I've reinstalled iTunes twice.  Logged out and logged back in twice.  Kindof wishing I didn't install 11.  Customer service is not being all that helpful.
    Your help is much appreciated.

    I had the same issue and it was resolved with today's iTunes update to 11.0.1
    "This update to the new iTunes addresses an issue where new purchases in iCloud may not appear in your library if iTunes Match is turned on, makes iTunes more responsive when searching a large library, fixes a problem where the AirPlay button may not appear as expected, and adds the ability to display duplicate items within your library."

  • TS1425 when connected to itunes its not showing my music library on computer

    When I connect my ipod to my computer it registers that it is my ipod but doesnt show the music library that is on the ipod.  This is not the original computer but I registered the ipod to the new computer,

    Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I recently got a used iPod touch from a relative. Version 3.1.3.  She does not remember her restrictions passcode and I need help with that.  Also, my iTunes does not recognize it.  Someone please help me.

    I Recently got a used iPod touch, version 3.1.3.  I do not know how to reset everything.  First I have tried to reset all settings, but it asks for restriction code.  Also, my iTunes does not recognize it.  Please help!

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • ITunes Music not showing up in Library

    I have read a number of similar questions on how to restore the music library. Of those I tried none worked. So, can anyone tell me:
    How do I recreate the library so that it will pick up all music in iTunes Music folders?
    Thank you,

    When I disconnect my ipod from my computer all the music on my ipod dissapeares from itunes[
    THat is working correctly.
    The iPod is not connected so iTunes cannot see the iPod.
    isnt it supposed to transfer to my library once I disconnect?
    It cannot transfer when it is disconnected because it is disconnected.
    Whats wrong with my Ipod/Itunes?
    Dunno?
    With the iPod not connected, do you have music in iTunes?
    Does it play?
