Playlists don't appear in iTunes

I got a new computer, I installed itunes, connected my ipod but my play lists from my ipod don't appear in itunes? How do I fix that? Everything I see has me sync the itunes to the ipod (thereby eleminating my playlists) but not the other way around. How do I fix that?

Well this didn't work. I get to step #10 and there is just the words "home Share" and nothing listed below it, no arrow to click. I'm assuming neither computer is recognizing each other even though they are sitting side by side and connected to the same wifi connection. I'm literally about to throw everything in the trash!!!

Playlists don't appear in iTunes Playlist selection window when synching

I just updated to iTunes 9.0 (big mistake) and discovered that many of my playlists do not appear in the playlist selection window when I synch my iPod nano 2.0. Even playlists that I created after upgrading to 9.0 don't appear. I have more playlists than I can load onto my iPod, so I need to be able to select which playlists to synch. Since many don't even appear in the selection window, I can't put them on my iPod. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
BTW, I have already gone through the Five R's, which did nothing to help.

Personally I use Subler to tag all these shows and then send them to Itunes. In subler you have the option of setting the Media Type and also the HD option of 720 or 1080p if applicable. Save it then use the file, Send to itunes and they show up in the right place.

Audiobooks don't appear in itunes

Hey
The audiobooks I put on my Ipod don't appear on Itunes in the Ipod (they do appear in the library).
Any idea on how this can be fixed? I need to delete some!

In order to see Audiobooks on the Touch you have to click on the More... button on the bottom right after you open Music. Then you'll get a list including Audiobooks, Podcasts, etc. from which you can choose. According to the promotional video for the Touch, you can replace one of the standard icons in Music, e.g., Songs, with Audiobooks or Podcasts so you don't have to click on the More... icon to get to the list.

Address Book ulContacts don't appear in iTunes

I just went to sync my original iPhone via iTunes and just discovered that my address book contacts don't appear in iTunes. My address book is fine and all of my groups appear. Anyone have any helpful hints to get them to reappear?

I have a similar issue. There are hundreds of podcasts on my Ipod Touch that I would like to delete. However, they don't show up on the computer. 2 questions:
1. You say to delete them from the Ipod. Please explain how. If they have to be deleted individually it will proabably take a lot of time.
2. Why does this happen? How can I prevent this from happening again?
Sure wish Apple would give us more help with this.
Thank you.

GarageBand files don't appear in iTunes.

My exported garageband files don't appear in iTunes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You're sure they are not there? Have you done a
search with the name in iTunes? Or on your disk with
Spotlight?
I've tried all these things to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?

ITunes Match Smart Playlists Don't Appear to Work

Hi all!
I was playing around with the smart playlists in iTunes last night, to try and keep an eye on how the sync to the cloud was progressing.
I created smart playlists with iCloud status is: duplicate, error, ineligible, local only, matched, purchased and uploaded.
Now, when I look at my full list of songs, I see the "ineligible" icon next to several items (mostly digital booklets) yet the ineligible playlist shows 0 entries. Similarly, directly after importing a CD, the tracks on the CD show "waiting", I would expect my "local only" playlist to show these items, but again, that playlist shows 0 entries. The only playlist that appears to work is the "duplicate" playlist
anyone else had this before? am i doing something wrong (likely!)
cheers!

UPDATE: so i was looking through some more, and here's another issue: I bought James Blunts album many many years ago. If I look at the "matched" playlist it shows "Goodbye My Lover" which is track 4/11, the remaining 10 tracks are in the "purchased" playlist. Checking the info on "Goodbye My Lover" show that it is "Purchased AAC audio file"
I've also bought the AC/DC box set from iTunes, and some of those tracks are showing in the "uploaded" playlist!
In "View Options" i enabled iCloud status and it's just all over the place! Music i've purchased (and subsequently added to iTunes from apple support allowing me to redownload purchases) are shown as "Uploaded" or "Matched", some songs from albums (imported) are matched and others uploaded. Parts of box sets are "uploaded", others are "matched" and others "purchased"...
what the?! I'm just confused! I'd like to use the option to upgrade my songs to the best quality (for my CD imports) and thought these playlists would help (actually a single button - "Upgrade" would be nice!) but they don't appear to be too accurate

.m4V files don't appear in iTunes until played from iTunes' 'Movies' folder

Some .m4v camcorder movie files (from a recent .avi conversion using Handbrake) just don't appear in my iTunes 'Movies' library until I double-click on them in the iTunes 'Movies' folder. Handbrake did the batch conversion and placed the converted files in the iTunes 'Movies' folder.
All of the converted files are visible in that 'Movies' folder of iTunes. And when I double-click them they play in an iTunes window. iTunes 'Movies' section seems unable to display them until they have first been played from the iTunes 'Movies' folder. Am I missing something about the way iTunes handles .m4v files?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Any idea what the issue might be?
Thanks.

Problem.
I just tried turingtest2's suggestion and it didn't work.
I converted an H264 .mov file in Handbrake and output the conversion to the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder. But it was not added to iTunes - it ended up in the 'Not Added' folder and remained there until I played it from that location. Then it immediately turned up in iTunes 'Movies' folder.
The Handbrake conversion was to an 'Apple TV' compatible .m4v file.
Any idea what the problem might be?

Latest podcast episodes don't appear in iTunes

This topic doesn't seem to be new: 6 episodes of our podcast have been properly shown up in itunes. #7 and #8 are not updated in the itunes store. Any help is highly appreciated, Thanks!
Itunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/arkhaminsiders/id689894807?l=en
Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Arkhaminsiders

In fact the Store is missing episodes 1 and 7,
Episode 1 is not present in the feed. Episode 7 is, but it has no 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of the media file, as is required by iTunes (and is present in the other episode except a few which are presumabloy designed not to have playable media, and thus don't show in iTunes).
The media file URL for episode 7 is present in the 'description' tag, and works; but evidently you have failed to do something in WordPress which you did for the other episodes to make it iTunes-compliant.

Playlists don't appear across all my iOS Devices?

After tens of hours of adding around 25k songs to iTunes Match, re-matching, fixing matches and artwork etc....I finally managed to be in a happy place.
So i then spent a couple of hours creating multiple and varied playlists e.g. Chillout, Dance, songs from 98 etc
This was done on my iPad and works a treat - the playlists appear and work when iTunes Match is turned on, and even when iTunes Match is off the playlists remain but only show the songs i've downloaded/played from the playlists.
However, the same playlists simply won't appear on my iPhone 4S when iTunes Match is on. It's just blank. I've turned on, off, reset, closed multitask, waited....nada...just doesnt want to appear. I was led to beleive playlists synced across all my iOS devices/shared accounts
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

iTunes Match does not handle Smart Playlists well on iDevices.
Two routes are open, either move to the use of standard playlists for now, or backup the iphone - restore - recover from backup. Whilst the latter route often forces Songs onto the iPhone the issue with Smart Playlists proving unreliable will remain.
A further route would be to avoid iTunes Match on one or more iDevices, simply use a manual sync for these devices.

HeIp Ipod Shuffle "Playlist" no longer appear in itunes when disconnected.

I got a new laptop and was forced to load up the latest version of itunes, which for me has worked fine. I connected my first gen. shuffle and married it to my new computer. But on my old computer/version of itunes i was able to keep the "shuffle's playlist" on itunes at all times so it was easy to tweak my songs and then whenever i charged my ipod all the songs would update. now it seems i cannot keep the playlist contents of my shuffle on itunes and have to update the shuffle manually while its connected which takes much more time. Where is the setting to change this so i can see the shuffle playlist all the time?
shuffle 1st gen Windows XP

It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

IPod touch apps don't appear in iTunes app

My iTunes account used to purchase apps (I always do this on the iPod itself) does not show my apps when I am in iTunes on my computer (using same acct; I double-checked). I have nine pages of apps on the iPod, so I do not want to have to download them again to my computer from the apps store as suggested by people who updated to newer version and lost their apps. Any suggestions? When I connect my iPod to my computer, does the sync apps only work in one direction--computer to iPod? I am afraid to sync for fear of losing all my apps. Thank you for any help you can give me. bjfritz

Any applications downloaded directly to iPod touch are automatically backed up to your iTunes library when you sync.
If you don't trust the automatic system, open iTunes, press and hold Command+Option while connecting your iPod touch to your computer until you see iPod touch appear in the iTunes sidebar. This will prevent automatic syncing. Then use the iTunes File menu -> Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPod Touch.

Ios playlists don't match with iTunes

I have a number of Smart Playlists in iTunes, but when I pull them up on my iOS device, they don't order in the same way, so song ordering is completely mixed up. Anyone know how to get the smart playlists in iTunes to play in order on the iOS device?

That is the weird part. 2 computers are missing some of the same playlists. While some other playlists are present on all 3. Also, after I started match on the second PC, then I got some double entries of playlists accept with a 1 added at the end of one copy. This sort of makes sence since all 3 PCs started with the same playlists. Do you know if I can export the playlists to an xml file and import that on the PCs that are missing playlists or is this info only in the itl file? Appreciate your responses to this issue.

IPod plays great but songs don't appear in iTunes

I originally set up my 4th-gen iPod to synch with iTunes on my PC. Made a brief switch to a Mac laptop running OSX 10.4.11 -- reformatted the iPod, transferred the songs from one iTunes to the other. Alas, that experiment is coming to an end and I decided to reformat to the PC. Weirdly, the iPod absorbed the entire library on my PC -- I thought reformatting the device wiped it clean. But the songs don't show up in iTunes under my player although they do in the library -- that is, I can see the titles, but they're grayed out, I can't select them, and I can't add anything to the iPod from the iTunes library. Just for grins, I plugged the iPod back into my Mac, and the songs are also grayed out. I'm lost in the Twilight Zone. Any suggestions?

The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
Please note that by editing/changing the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.
