Possible to have video playlists NOT show up in the music playlists tab?

I like how when I go to videos > video playlists, my iPod will show only the playlists that contain only movies and music videos inside.
Is it possible to have it so that the video-only playlists are parsed from the music > playlists tab? That section is cluttered enough as it is, and having empty playlists inside really doesn't help.
Also, anyone have tips for managing large amounts of songs? Since I have a lot of one-hit-wonders, the artist and album tabs has gotten populated with 1-song artists and 1-song albums, making it a pain for browsing through in search of whole albums.
Maybe I could put a symbol around the artist or album to make it higher or lower in the alphabet. From what I've seen, it goes symbols, numbers, then letters. Is there anything I can use to sort alphabetically in iTunes to be below the letter z?

I just remembered something; japanese characters (letters) are sorted by iTunes below the letter z. Accented characters (such as ö) get sorted next to their regular (o is higher than ö).
And so, I think I will go through and find all the albums and artists that only have one song to them and rename them using a japanese character so that they appear at the bottom of the album and artist lists. Should make looking through those much easier.
I would still like an answer to my first question.

Songs not showing up in the Music folder but in a playlist

Hi,
Something weird is happening with iTunes.
Just before upgrading to 10.5, I had a problem where after opening a M3U playlist from the finder, the playlist was added as a regular playlist.
I can play the songs, when I go in the Get Info of the file, I can see that the file has been copied to the iTunes Music folder.
But when I look for the new imported songs from the top Music Folder, then the songs don't show up.
I opened the iTunes Library XML file and the songs are correctly listed.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Sorry, just to clarify, this is my problem:
When I double click on a song from my computer, it plays in iTunes, but it is not copied into my music library. Also, when I import a audio cd, it imports but does not show up in the music library, nor can I click and drag it there or to my Iphone. In the past clicking on these tracks would automatically save it in my library. I noticed this problem last week perhaps after upgrading to iTunes 10.1.2.
Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

ITunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library.

Our PC running Vista froze up so we upgraded to Windows 7. iTunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library. How do I access my music?

Use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the folder(s) where the music is.

Added albums to iTunes, but they do not show up in the Music Library view.

I imported some albums and the albums do not show up in the Music Library view, however I created a playlist containing all songs added today and they show right up. Is there a fix for this?

They don't show up at all or they don't show up where you expect them to?
The iTunes Library is divided into a number of sources, Music, Podcasts, Books etc. Each file added ends up in just one of these sources depending on its *Media Kind* plus any playlists for which it has matching criteria.
Settings such as *Part of a Compilation, Sort Artist* or *Sort Album Artist* can make albums appear in an unexpected location within Music.

CD's not purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on Apple TV! How can I fix this?

You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

The volume controls will not show up in the music app or the lock screen music controls. What do I do?

After my last download I now have video adds that show up in the broswer from time to time. How can I get rid of them.

on my last down load of firefox, I not have two issues that occur, One every once and awhile I get a video ad that shows up in the lower left corn of the browser. I have uninstalled your software and reinstalled and it is still there. Also I get a web site of inksr.com that my trend micro blocks everytime I go to a new web site within firefox. Both of these have started after I was told to redownload your software in order to get the updates to work and not be blocked.

You probably have malware or adware installed on your computer.

Why are some of my tracks in specific playlists not showing up in my Music Library playlist?

I've restarted several times and some tracks that are in certain playlists don't show up on my music library playlist. Is this a bug? Any known fix? Thx!

But I would think that the purchases would be saved onto my Itunes account and therefore redownload into my computer. I have been able to retrieve about 9 of the 20+ songs that I bought by syncing my phone however the other purchases are still not there. Also, when I go to the Itunes store and back to the purchases, the button you press to buy it says "PURCHASED" so I know I don't have to rebuy them. How do I redownload the music I purchased previously?

HT201441 I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but it on not showing up on mu music playlist. What should I do?

I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but on my music playlist it does not show up. What shoud I do?

Download it to iTunes on your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone. Make sure the album is selected to sync to your phone before syncing. If that doesn't work, you may have to delete all the music off your phone, then sync it back from iTunes. To delete your music, go to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then click Music, tap Edit, then tap next to All Music.

Music is on my iPod touch 1G but does not show up in the Music App

Been having this problem the last week. I synced my iPod before I went to bed, grabbed it and headed off to work on Tuesday. Once I got to work I went to use my iPod and when I opened the Music App a screen popped up saying "Updating Library...This may take a few minutes". I didn't think much about that as I have seen it a number of times after I synced quite a bit of new music or podcasts(the night before I had 3 new hour long podcasts that synced).
Set my iPod to the side as that usually does take a minute, turned back and the screen said "No Content" and then some line about buying music in iTunes. I was quite surprised as I had never seen this screen before. I turned my iPod off and back on and the same No Content message.
I checked my Photos App and those were still there and so were all my saved photos that don't sync. Checked some of my other apps and the settings and saved data was all there too.
Finally got the idea to check the About option in the Settings. Knowing that it would list how many songs and how much space was free. Opened that up and it said 0 songs but that I only had 1.4GBs of free space. Which tells me that my music is on the iPod but just isn't being recognized.
Got home that night and synced it and once done I checked it and my music was there. Friday this all happened again and I have not been able to get my music to show up again even though my iPod tells that I have 12GBs of something on there going by what the About page tells me.
The only change I have made is I finally updated from just Itunes 10.0.X to 10.1.4 on 12/20 of last year. I have a iPod touch 1G that is running 3.1.3.
Last night I did a restore and created a whole new iPod but the same issue has happened. I watched it sync my ~2800 songs but when I went to check them, No Content but the About page tells me there is 12GBs of space being used. Right now I am going to a back from from June of last year to see if that works but I doubt it. I also have an old install of iTunes 10.0.1 that I think I might try.
What else could be the problem?

Which version of iTunes are you using?

Some playlists do not show up on the iPod sync tab...

I tried doing it manually both through the "manage my music manually" and through the "On this iPod" tab and the playlists will not drag and drop over... Why is this?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know what had happened and why - but I got this to work by completely deleting the files out of itunes and reimporting from my external hard drive backup and re-creating the playlists.... not the most ideal solution, but it works.

Some videos are not showing in Apple TV playlist after upgrade to 6.0. Can play on Macbook itunes and using airplay to Apple TV. Anybody else have this issue?

Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0. They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV. Anybody else have this issue?

Ok, so I'll try again. Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update? It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV. These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

Smart playlist not showing all playlists

Since I updated to iTunes 10.4, I have notice that many of my smart playlists are corrupted. I am using smart playlist to group ordinary playlists. But today, while I was trying to edit one, I found that all my big smart playlist that contain more than roughly 5 playlist are showing almost all the conditional playlist as empty (a big horizontal bar).
If I go to manually re-select that one that are empty, I can't find them in the combo box that pop-ups, but I can see the playlist in the left side bar of the main window of iTunes.
In the picture below, you can see the _Jazz playlist. That one is OK, but what follows is a mess. First weird thing is that the first 3 playlist shown in the list are not within their respective folder. I have made red links in the picture to point where they come from in the main window list. After that, I should found in the pop-up window the entirity of the Alternative Pop/Rock folder, but I only see one playlist. Then after that, the list display the folders / playlist as it should.
Anybody know why are the smart playlist not allowing me to select my playlists anymore? I didn't have this problem a month ago.

Make sure that the Album column is showing for the playlist, and then click the Album header to sort by the album name.
If you just want to play specific albums, you will probably find it easier to turn on the Browser (View menu -> Show Browser). Then you can select an individual album and play all it's tracks, or select an artist and see (and optionally play) all album by that artist.
Hope this helps.

Songs not showing up in device music folder, but showing up in playlists

Hi everybody, total newbie here. Appreciate any help or advice.
I just tried to import an audio CD to iTunes and it says it has completed importing, but it doesn't show up in my iTunes music library. I tested by trying to play an mp3 file with iTunes, but it doesn't seem to work.
Furthermore, when I connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, I can't see any of my 2000 or so songs. However when I click on my playlists, I can see the music there. Also, when I disconnect my iPhone, my music and playlists on the iPhone are still intact.
I noticed that the last time I was able to import music was January 26, a couple of days before the 10.1.2 upgrade. Do you think this has anything to do with it?
Thanks for your help!

Sorry, just to clarify, this is my problem:
When I double click on a song from my computer, it plays in iTunes, but it is not copied into my music library. Also, when I import a audio cd, it imports but does not show up in the music library, nor can I click and drag it there or to my Iphone. In the past clicking on these tracks would automatically save it in my library. I noticed this problem last week perhaps after upgrading to iTunes 10.1.2.
