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?

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.

Added music not showing up in iTunes library

I recently bought a cd online and I tried to add it to my library. I tried it like three times, the music isn't showing up there. When I go to the "recently added" playlist, I can see the music there and it's also on my iPod, but it's nowhere to be found in the music folder. What should I do? Is my iTunes library corrupted?

right-click on one of those tracks in iTunes and choose get info. go to the summary tab and check the path to the original file.
also, in iTunes for Mac, if you right-click on a file, you get the option to show in finder (the equivalent to windows explorer). not sure but iTunes for windows might have something similar.

Good! Sometimes you need to apply a little brute force.

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.)

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.

Music not showing in library

I have more that 1700 musc videos in my library but only 250 are showing in itunes. How can I get them all to show?

Thanks. I've installed the back up disc, but itunes doesn't ask me if I want to restore. Even though itunes is my default player, a screen appears asking If want to play using real player, or media player, or do nothing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I have added music from my CD library to iTunes but now my iPod will not sync. Message says not enough free space. How can I sync only a portion of my library to my 8Gb Nano?

I have added music from my CD library to iTunes on my PC. I now have too many songs in my iTunes and I have insufficient space in my 8 Gb Nano. I am unable to sync my iPod now. How can I get my iPod to sync? I only want a portion of my songs on the Nano.

Hi wisemra,
First, make sure your iTunes does not attempt to sync automatically. Open iTunes, and select Preferences under the iTunes menu item:
Then, once you have hooked up your device and selected it, you should see the device Profile pages to the right. Select the Music tab:
Once you get to the Music detail screen, you will see the option to "Sync Music". You can then select "Sync Entire Music Library" or you can select "Sync Selected Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genres". Click on the second one. Then, below, you can select which of your music from the library you want on your device:
Your will show a list of your music. Mine doesn't because I sync with an iTunes library on different computer, but once you have selected the options I have shown you, you will see the music listed. Just pick what you want on your device and then click "Sync" at the bottom.
Cheers,
GB

I am trying to synch my recently added music to my ipod via imported cd via library, but cant find tick box for this anymore. please help

I am trying to synch my recently added music via importing cd in library, the cd is in my itunes, but will not synch. When i had this problem before, a tick was not in the 'synch recently added music' box, but i cant find this now, my model number is MB528BT. Please help

What exactly 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?

HT1473 Problem importing music; music imported not showing in library

ITunes is really becoming a pain in the ***. I'm really ****** right now. Three days ago my new album purchase could not be located after it downloaded. I had to spend more time trying to make it work. Cd imported today does not show in library.

Thanks. I've installed the back up disc, but itunes doesn't ask me if I want to restore. Even though itunes is my default player, a screen appears asking If want to play using real player, or media player, or do nothing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Albums not showing in library after import

Just install iTunes 10.4.1.10 on Win XP (have same issue on Win 7) it auto added my music folder but its all messed up due to filenames etc so I deleted everything from library with the intention of manually importing everything. Albums are not showing in library after going File -> Add Folder to Library...
Any ideas?

Note that Pause and Resume can be found in the right-click context menu of an item (toolbar drop-down list).
Do you have the .part file or only the (final) file with a byte count of 0 bytes?
If the .part file and doesn't have the expected file size (2 GB) is missing then you won't be able to resume this download anyway. You can check the temp folder as well.

Hello there Jameskuo47,
In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
This section specifically:
To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Note:
iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
latest iOS software here'
Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
All the best,
Sterling

I accidentally erased my smart playlist for "Recently added music" how do I create another?

I accidentally erased my smart playlist for "Recently added music" how do I create another?

Create a new Smart Playlist:
Match selected
Date added : in last : 2 : weeks
MediaKind : is not : Podcast
Limit to 25 : items : selected by : random
Live updating selected

My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

At first I also thought this to be a bug with Match an smart playlists. When I first activated Match on my iPhone the 'recently added' playlist (which holds about 200 songs on my MacBook Pro) was vompletely empty on the phone. But - After buying some music and downloading some additional songs from the cloud - it was slowly beginning to fill up with this newly added music.
So I guess Apple has quietly made smart playlists device-sensitive. 'recently added' actually means 'recently added in the specific device you are using to view this playlist'. In fact this would just be a logic step. But it would be great if Apple had documented this change of behaviour and would give us the option to make playlists device-relative or cloud-relative.
