Problems importing only some of my music

I've been using itunes for years, and just recently I tried to add 2 folders of MP3s into itunes and they will not show up in itunes, and when I attempt to open the songs in itunes they will not play, I've tried changing the folder names and such and nothing has worked. But I can still import and play any other song on my computer just not the ones from those two folders. I've checked the permissions on the folders and they do no appear to be any different than any other folders permissions... any ideas?

Hey livelaughlove23,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like iTunes in the Cloud purchases have either been hidden, or you are no longer signed into your Apple ID on the computer. You can check the iTunes Store preferences:
iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes Store preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12468
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button next to them.

Only some of the music in my library will synch to my ipad

I have ripped a number of CD's to my PC music library, but when I try to synch this music to my Ipad only some of the music appears. Ideas?

First check what format the music was ripped in, I think that the idevices only support AAC, so you may have to right click and convert.
Also check and see of you have sync entire library or sync selected library under the device settings when the iPad is connected to iTunes, and then make sure the right checkboxes are seleceted.
Please ask if you are unsure about what I mean for any of this. Good luck.

Problems Importing LPs and other recorded music to my iMac

Hi All
I am trying to import my vinyl LPs and other music to my iMac using my JVC MIDI System with a record dec attached. The only output connection is for a standard jackplug (headphone) socket, other than the cable connection point for stereo speakers (at the rear of the system). I was sold a standard cable with a jackplug at either end and told that by connecting this to the input side of my Mac it should work. This does not seem to regognise any form of imput from my MIDI system can anybody help please!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin
Thanks for your response I have only used this forum once before and wasn't tosure what details where relevant. I am also not sure if I can provide answers to all your questions but will do my best;-
It would help if you tell us the exact make & model of the equipment you are using.
Your Mac? -IMac 11,1
What JVC MIDI system? Unfortunately it is an old system now and I don't appear to have kept the manual. It is a JVC COMPACT COMPONENT MD SYSTEM MX-MD9R R-D-S EON.
What "record dec?" Actually, what do you mean by "record dec" in the first place? Do you mean yourturntable? It is an AIWA PX-E800 turntable which i connect and play through the aux side of the JVC system
Is your JVC MIDI system capable of providing the RIAA EQ for vinyl LP's? dont know
What software are you using on your Mac to do the recordings? ITunes 11.0.2
In general, I wouldn't use a MIDI device for recording analog audio. They weren't intended for that purpose.
Thanks for your help Paul

I can only get some of my downloaded music from itunes on my iphone. The music that wont play has a round circle with a black square in the middle. Can someone help me to get all my music on my iphone. Thanks

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Email authentication problem on only some of Verizon's servers

I use Eudora 6.2.4 on an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0 20" (Al) Macintosh running OX 10.5.5. Like many others (see one thread each under FiOS Internet and High Speed Internet and Dialup), since about mid-November, I have been receiving intermittent (about 10% of the time) authentication errors when Eudora checks for new mail. I have 3 VZ e-mail accounts and one at my employer; the errors occur only on the VZ accounts.
I've used the freeware app Eavesdrop (http://code.google.com/p/eavesdrop/) to observe the TCP conversations between Eudora and the server. The VZ server offers SASL CRAM-MD5 PLAIN, and Eudora uses CRAM-MD5. I see the challenge from the server, Eudora's response, and the server's authentication-failure response. Since the response is hashed, I have no way of telling if Eudora is sending the correct response, but it works most of the time. (After it fails, Eudora then assumes its stored password is NG, discards it, and prompts me for it on the next mail-check, which is just a bit annoying.)
Here is an example of a successful mail-check:

-ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed
You'll notice that the VZ server identifies itself at the onset of each conversation, including a build ID and date, followed by a timestamp and a server ID (e.g., vms109.mailsrvcs.net). I'm in eastern Massachusetts, and when my client connects to incoming.verizon.net, one of a pool of V servers responds. I've observed about 15 different servers, of which two (vms171011 and vms171013) show "6.3-7.04 (built Sep 26 2008)" and all the others show "6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)". Furthermore, I observe that vms171011 and vms171013 consistently give this authentication failure for CRAM-MD5, but all the others (with the older build) consistently succeed in authenticating my accounts.
I called FiOS Support, and the CSR took down took down some relevant info, said she'd pass it on the the e-mail folks. Within 2 hours I got a call from a Verizon tech. He said they "knew" about it and that it was a Mac problem. It wasn't specific to VZ, and it occurred only on Macs.   He had no explanation for my observation that mail-check authentication works with 13 of VZ's servers and consistently fails with two which have a later build version/date, but he believed it was consistent with it being an Apple problem. So naturally he was off the hook.
He referred me to an Apple Support Forum discussion to back up his position. I hadn't seen (or thought of looking in) the Apple forums, so I had a look and found a total of 5 threads under "Mail and Address Book". Of course, these deal with Mail.app, . Comcast as well as VZ. This is the lengthiest of them:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8478765#8478765
These Apple discussion threads and the two Verizon Forum threads all mention Macintoshes, which lends credence to the tech's assertion that it's a Mac problem, not Verizon's. I've found one that seems to depict the same thing on a PC (http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows/browse_thread/thread/b426c0ca59841ca9), but it's not conclusive.
I don't know what PeeCee users use for a mail client or what method they use for authentication (the POP3 protocol, as amended,has several possibilities). My Eudora app has settings for "Password", "Kerberos", and "APOP", but VZ doesn't offer Kerberos, and Eudora seems to ignore the APOP setting, so it uses only the CRAM-MD5 method, so I'm stuck. I can't disprove that this is a Mac-only problem, but I can't understand why the CRAM-MD5 authentication always works with 13 of VZ's servers and always fails with 2 others (which happen to have a different build version/date).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

With the help of a Windows-using friend, I have additional evidence that the mail-check authentication problem is NOT Mac-specific, but also can be shown to occur with a POP3 client (the final version, Eudora 7.1.0.9) using a secure authentication method (APOP) on Windows (XP Home, SP 3). He had been observing no authentication problems, but investigation showed that his authentication setting was for "Password", which uses the basic (and very insecure) USER/PASS messages. His Eudora does not allow CRAM-MD5, but it does have APOP authentication, which is another secure method that also uses the MD5 algorithm to encrypt the password.
When he changed the setting to use APOP authentication, he observed the same behavior that I've reported above:
   - with most of the VZ servers (e.g., vms095.mailsrvcs.net, vms104.mailsrvcs.net) that show "6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)", the authentication succeeds
   - with vms171011.mailsrvcs.net and vms171013.mailsrvcs.net, which show "6.3-7.04 (built Sep 26 2008)", the authentication fails.
See examples below.
Here's a successful mail-check (these excerpts are from the Eudora log; I've edited his username):

IMHO all this evidence validates my original hypothesis, that two (or more) of VZ's mail servers, which have server builds "6.3-7.04 (built Sep 26 2008)", advertise secure CRAM-MD5 and APOP authentication capabilities, but consistently fail such authentication attempts. All the other servers with builds "6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)" handle these authentications correctly. This has been shown to be the case on both Mac and Windows POP3 email clients. Email clients that use the simpler and unsecure USER/PASS and AUTH PLAIN methods apparently see no authentication errors on any of the VZ servers. This strongly points to this being a Verizon problem specific to two of the servers that we see here in eastern Massachusetts. Others have also observed the same server-specificity; see for example http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showthread.php?t=13802 . This problem has been reported since about mid-November.
Verizon, the ball is in your court. Find the problem and fix it!

Only some of the music from my computer is available to listen to on Apple TV.

For instance, on my computer (which has Home Sharing enabled) my iTunes shows that I have four Arcade Fire albums.
But when I fire up Apple TV, it only shows 3 albums. The missing album is not some oddball format like FLAC or Ogg Vorbis.
Any ideas?

I got a new windows computer and I can't transfer all of my music to it from my old computer. I have some music on my phone but not all of it so when I plug it in only some of my music shows up and none of my playlists.

I got a new Lenovo Windows computer and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library to my new computer. I can't figure out how. I tried plugging in my iPhone and it synched what music was on my phone but I don't have my entire library on my phone and none of my playlists transferred. I tried authorizing my computer and it is but it still isn't showing up. I turned on my homesharing on my new and old computer but apparently I have two other computers I have authorized and I don't know which ones they are, probably ones that have been thrown out. What do I do now?

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

2G Shuffle plays only some of the music loaded on it

As the subject says, when I download songs (either by Autofill or dragging from an iTunes playlist), all the songs appear to be moved to my 2G Shuffle. However, when I try to play them, either in random or straight-through, only about 1 in 4 will actually play. Nevertheless, they continue to appear on the shuffle when I reconnect to iTunes. I have attempted restoring multiple times, and the same thing keeps happening. Also, the selection of songs that it will play is consistent. For instance, here in the summary for one of the songs that will play:
Kind: AAC Audio file
Size: 7 MB
Bit Rate: 256 kpbs
Sample Rate: 44.100 kHz
Date Modified: 12/27/06 12:01 PM
Play Count: 1
Last Played: 1/6/07 4:34 PM
Volume: -10.6 dB
Profile: Low Complexity
Channels: Stereo
Encoded with: iTunes v7.0.2, Quicktime 7.1.3
Here is one that will not:
Kind: AAC audio file
Size: 4.4 MB
Bit Rate: 128 kpbs
Sample Rate: 44.100 kHz
Date Modified: 12/27/06 11:59 AM
Play Count: 0
Last Played: Not available.
Volume: -12.7 dB
Profile: Low Complexity
Channels: Stereo
Encoded with: iTunes v.6.0.4, Quicktime 7.0.4
Has anyone seen this before or have any clue how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Why is only some of my music showing?

Okay, so I think I have cloud, but I did not pay for anything so I am not sure. Anyways, a while back I downloaded everything I ever bought, and had it all on here. Now, only four or five albums are showing, and I have bought like atleast 300 songs in the past, and tons of videos and apps, and none of it is showing. I click Check for Available Downloads and it says all have been downloaded for this apple ID. How can I recover all my music!?

Importing only some photos from camera to computor

My Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT contains 550 photos, according to my iPhoto window. My PowerBook G4 hard drive does not have enough space on it to accommodate my importing all those photos. There is nothing in the iPhoto window or menus that offers a way to import fewer than all those photos, much less send them to my external hard drive.
I downloaded the appropriate versions of Image Browser and Camera Window, but neither of these acknowledge the existence of my camera. Advice?

Hi Charles,
You can use Image Capture to import your photos. You can choose where to download them to and create a new folder to download them into.
First you need to open Image Capture and in the Preferences have it open when a camera is connected. When you next connect your camera, under the options have it download the photos to a connected external drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference

On Importing raw images to Lightroom only some of the images will import.

I have used LightRoom for years and just started having this issue. I select all of my raw images and "Open with" LightRoom 5. I can view all of the images that I want to import. It then imports only some. There are times it will import some and then freezes up in Import mode. I have even converted images to dng and found it to do the same thing. As a professional photographer this is frustrating!

If you mean "Open With" in your operating system, I am surprised that you get any images to import this way. As far as I know, Adobe has (tried to) disable this as a method of importing photos, and so I doubt you will find any help here in this forum on this matter, as this is not a function of Lightroom (although you used to be able to do it in earlier versions).

How can I import only about 50 of my contacts into my iPhone

How can I import only SOME of my contacts from my iMacOS10 onto my iPhone 5s ?

I don't understand your question.
An MP3 has a bit rate. That's the number of samples (bits of information) is has for each second of time that it runs. When you import an MP3 to your iTunes, it is imported at the bit rate it has been encoded with.
If that MP3 has already been converted from a higher bit rate to a lower one, you cannot retrieve the "original bit rate" from the new conversion.
What are you trying to achieve?

I have been trying to put some of my music and artwork, on youtube. Youtube says you need an encoder to upload music. But the problem is the only encoders available are for windows. Please help, thank you

The formats YouTube supports can be found here:

Since YouTube supports AAC, the file format iTunes uses by default, it's probable you don't need any sort of converter.
If you continue to have problems with uploading to YouTube, I'd suggest you ask for assistance in their forums:
