Recently added movies not showing in iTunes 11 library.

Hi - I have just converted a movie via Handbrake as usual, added it to iTunes as usual ; but it does not appear in the Movies LIbrary on the iMac. I saw the progress bar that said it was copying etc.
What is strange, I can see it via AppleTV; but not in the iTunes on the computer.
So summat is up, this is the first time I have actually added something to my library since the dreaded iTunes 11 upgrade.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I also had this problem after upgrading and this is what I did to fix it.
I belived the issue to caused by the iTunes Library.itl file found in (username) > Music > iTunes, since the iTunes Music Library.xml file contained the missing videos. I moved the iTunes Library.itl file to my Desktop and relunched iTunes. iTunes was now blank. Then I went to File > Library > Import Playlist... I then selected the iTunes Music Library.xml. This brought back all the music and videos, including the missing ones.
I also had to grab the Mobile Applications, Books and Tones folders from Finder and drag them back into iTunes as the iTunes Music Library.xml doesn't contain info about those. Not sure if you need to drag in the Podcasts folder as well since I don't have any podcasts at the moment.
I have been able to add new videos since and it works fine. This is a really tedious issue so I hope to not have to do it again.
(Note: you could also just create a new iTunes library (hold option when launching on mac, hold shift on windows) and add in the content to the new library. Make sure to delete the old library when finished.)

Recently added music not showing in library

Music I have recently added to itunes is not appearing in my library (nor in recently added playlist). When I search for it in the top browser, the drop down box says I have 92 items, but when I click it there is nothing in the library. I am using itunes 11.0.112.
Where has my music gone?

I just ordered some music
Do you mean you purchased it in the iTunes store and finished downloading it?

M4V movies not showing up in iPad library.

I have several movies downloaded from iTunes via the "Free Digital" copy that comes with many new Blu Ray movies. None are illegally downloaded or ripped. I always choose the apple format (and not the Windows) to be sure that I can play them on my iPhone.
I connect iPad to my computer, then through iTunes go to the "Movies" tab within the device options. I have "Sync Movies" checked but I do not have the "automatically include.." option selected.
Down below I see several movies listed and I select the checkbox of a movie. Then I click apply and wait for the movie to sync. Afterwards, I disconnect and open my iPad. Unfortunately, the movie is no where to be found.
I have double checked that all of my movies are in the correct format (M4V) and none of them are set as television files, they are all movies. Any other ideas why I am unable to find them on my iPad to view?

I don't have any wisdom to offer but I will add this. I never use the sync movies and music settings. I always use the "manually manage movies and music". This way my devices only have what I drag to them. I do use the sync photos and apps.
If the movies are in your itunes library, you should be able to see them and drag them to the ipad device.

Why do my recently added contacts not show up in contacts list, but show up as contacts in a global search of my iphone?

I have an iPhone 3gs
I suspect that its not just newly created contacts that don't show up in my contacts list, but contacts I added through text message or missed calls. Again, they show up as contacts when I search my iphone for their name. I have never backed up my contacts from any of my mail accounts (people said they were having problem with exchange, and I recently deleted my exchange account). I am not using MobileMe.
When I sync with iTunes, and select Sync Address Book Contacts, I have "All Contacts" selected. The option to select "Selected Groups" is grayed out.
When I look at my groups in my Contacts list App, I am viewing under "All Contacts". There are no other group options.
This is a very annoying problem has anyone officially had it solved??

You can, but it's a bit involved and requires using an app. Probably not worth it for only 5 contacts. If you're interested in how you would do this, you would do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap each of the other accounts you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

Purchased movies not showing in iTunes for Mac

I'm using the same apple ID on several devices, and am able to access all purchased movies on my Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. When using iTunes on my Mac, only 25 of the 50 purchased movies viewable elsewhere are accessible. I've tried accessing the missing items through the iTunes store, hoping that they'd be available for download, but am only given the option to purchase them again. Does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to remedy it? I've already tried deauthorizing/reauthorizing, and logging in and out. It has been happening for a while, so I don't think that it is something that was caused by a recent software update.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

I feel dumb. Solved it for myself. In case anyone else has this issue, instead of looking at purchased items from within your library, go to the iTunes store home page, and select purchased from the menu on the right. Then there will be a tab for "not in my library." This is where your purchased items that haven't been downloaded to your computer reside.

NEW SONGS NOT SHOWING IN ITUNES 11 LIBRARY

No new songs that i import are showing up in my iTunes Library!!!!! HOWEVER, I can view them in a playlist if I drag and drop them there from my desktop.
I don't understand why apple have to constantly keep updating and changing things that work perfectly fine, to these dysfunctional versions!!!
I cannot add any new music, nor can i create ringrtones as it does not allow me to add the AAC version to my library!
Someone please help!!!

Use the add to library function again, but just point the application to the iTunes library on the computer rather than the DVD backup.

Songs not showing in iTunes Music Library....Please help!

Hello,
I'm running into a problem with my iTunes library. I'm pretty new to the Mac - so I was hoping one of the experts on this forum might have an answer. Since we just got our iMac (we're PC converts) I'm totally willing to accept that I may have just dome something incorrect.
I have a DVD/RW that has my music backed up to it (all MP3 and a few AAC), it has about 750 songs in all. I tried to add the music from that disc using "Add To Library" function. It seemed to copy and process all 700+ songs just fine, but when when I look at my Music Library in the main iTunes window, it only shows the first 40 or so (it only has artists A-B alphabetically), and that's it.
When I look in my user/music/itunes/itunes music folder, it appears that iTunes copied all the songs to the folder properly in an itunes music/artist/album format. For some reason it just only shows the first few Artists in the main Music Library.
The weird thing is, I have a couple other discs (CD/RW's) that have a few MP3's on them (10-15 per disc - songs I added after making my large backup)....and I was able to add those to the iTunes library using the same "Add To Library" function, with no issues at all.
This is a brand spankin' new just-out-of-the-box iMac (so a fresh install of Leopard), with all the latest software updates applied before I started putting any of my stuff on.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sully

Downloaded iTunes Movies/TV Shows: Missing iTunes Music Library.XML Tags

The XML information for the downloaded iTunes .M4V files are missing 3 critical XML tags. Without these tags the files cannot be synched to Apple TV (Mac iTunes v7.5). All of my previous downloads before last week are fine and contain those tags and are allowed to synch.

I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

Artist show in recently added but not in artist list

I have an imac, early 2012 model with the most recent updates (Maverick I think it's called). And an iphone 4S with the most recent update.
I recently added two cd's into iTunes. One cd shows the artist and all info in the artist list. The other does not show in the artist list, but Does show in recently added, complete with all info. This cd was downloaded (and paid for) from the Artists website as an mp3 320. In order to put it on my iphone, I had to make a playlist and add that to the iphone. I also tried making an AAC version, but that didn't help. Any ideas why this might be?
Btw, all the artist info etc... populated on it's own and it looks like All the files imported.

Hi,
I had the same trouble, and tried various things including a restore from back-up, with no success.
I then had a closer look at the "Get Info" section of the troubled artist.
The 'Artist Name' and 'Album Name' were correctly defined in the 'Info' tab ,
howerver, in the 'Options' tab I notied that the 'Part of a Compilation' dropdown box
was set to "Yes". So, I changed this to "No" and left the check box selected, and then clicked "OK".
I re-checked the 'Get Info/Options' part again to ensure the change had taken affect(which it had).
I then disconnected and reconnected my Iphone 5 followed by a "SYNC" which successfully applied
the above changes to my phone and hence solved the problem.
Hope this helps.

ITunes movies not showing up on Apple TV

I'm having some trouble with my movies not showing up on Apple TV.
The movies I am missing are not purchased from iTunes but I have converted them using Handbrake. I've double checked the format and they seem to be what's required from what I've read in other threads.
I've also made sure they are in the "movies" category and not "home movies."
I'm not the most computer savy person... most of what I know is just from reading threads. Can someone help?
Here is the format of a movie that's not showing up:
H.264, 720 x 304, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.00 kHz
Movie FPS: 23.98
Playing FPS: 23.98
Data Size: 1.24 GB
Data Rate: 938.58 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 720 x 304 pixels
Current Size: 720 x 304 pixles

RogerOut makes some good points and this feels to me like a ham fisted attempt by Apple to take control of my media in a way that I don't want. The stuff it is choosing to call "home movie" is 100% legit movies, but not ones I bought through the itunes store. So I load a movie and then it mysteriously does not show up in my Apple TV because it has defaulted to "home movie".
What I still fail to understand is what the heck is the purpose of this apart from annoying users who's stuff now does not appear on ATV without explanation or warning. So glad to have this forum to help me, but why should I have to do this to figure out how to overcome a stupid thing that Itunes is doing to my movie (it is a movie!)?
As I say though, what possible benefit is it for a users media to be labelled in this way and anyway, why does calling it a home movie make it unreadable in ATV?

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.
