Some of my songs don't show up on my iPhone, even though they are in Match.

I can access the full library if I sign in to iTunes from a desktop computer.  Most of my songs are accessible to be downloaded, but several songs I recently added are missing.  In one case, only one of the songs on an album is visible to be downloaded.  What do I need to do to access my full library of songs?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • HT201274 I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

    I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

    How are you trying to accomplish this? You can't transfer media directly from one iDevice to another. You should be transferring your purchased items to your iTunes library on the computer you sync them with, then syncing them from there.
    You should be able to re-download media from the iTunes store using the same Apple ID used to purchase it to begin with.

  • Movies and some TV Shows wont play on iPhone even though they appear in the Movies section

    I have an iPhone 4S and my old 3GS and after upgrading to iOS 5 neiher will play all of the Movies and TV Shows that sync across from iTunes.
    I already have issues with incorrect media that won't sync based on compatibility grounds, but these videos have synced onto the devices but show up in the Videos secion as greyed out options that can't be clicked.
    In some cases two of the three episodes will play but the third is just a grey option.
    Does anyone know what is causing this?
    The problem exisits both with video ripped from DVD's and video purchased from the iTunes store.

    Hey there ImpossibleXY,
    It sounds like you have some items on the phone taking up space but you cannot find them to delete them.
    First, if you have not already start by restarting the phone and your computer, then try the sync again to see if it updates correctly.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    If the issue persists I would next backup restore the device with iTunes to see if that refreshes the space correctly on the phone.

  • Purchased movies no longer showing up in my itunes, even though they are in my past purchases.

    I am trying to figure out why movies I purchased (not rented) are no longere in my library. There are quite a few of them missing. Any ideas on how to get them back?

    In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option.  Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course). 
    Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

  • Creative Cloud Widget shows options to install apps even though they are present on the system already. (Retina MacBook Pro - OSX Yosemite)

    Finding that the Adobe Creative Cloud Widget/Launcher that drops down from the 'system bar' at the top of the screen now is not showing the apps that area clearly installed. It was accurate immediately after install, but I have noticed that it only shows two of the thirteen installed applications for the past week or so. Any ideas how to fix this and make it accurate again?

    Hez_Godfrey please utilize the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html to restore the list of installed applications.  I would recommend beginning with solution 2.

    Do you have a Recently Added playlist?  Can you see them there?

  • Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

    Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir.  I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes.  I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes.  When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir.  To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

  • Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

    songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

    If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

  • Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?

    Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album? They are always songs that I had on my computer not imported from a cd using iTunes. I have verified that all the info is correct and matches the other songs in the album. Sometimes I can check the "compilation" box on all the songs in the album and that will put them in order and in the same listing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

    Good One CL.
    What I did in this case is select all the songs in the album and select Get Info and see if  Album Artist and Album and Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist and Sort Album are the same.

  • I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

    I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

    I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos.  I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

  • HT204150 I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help

    I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

    Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
    If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
    Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

  • Some artists dont show up on my list even tho they are on the ipod

    When I go thru the menu and click on artists, there are about 10 artists that do not show up. I know that they are on the ipod, and if I go thru albums instead I can find the full album, but it just doesnt show up thru artists. There doesnt seem to be anything odd about the track, and they were uploaded from the cd. Does anyone know whats going on?!

    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

  • Single songs don't play even though they are synced and work fine on the computer??

    I only recently discoverd this problem. Single songs that I synced into my iPod 5th gen just wont play (they used to work before) even though when I check on my iTunes they work fine and even after syncing it again and even reseting my iPod it just wont work. All that happens is that I click the play button on the song the cover art with the timeline pops up for a split second as if it is going to play and then it just goes back to the title menu with the songs name, and nothing plays. This only happens with a few songs that used to work fine but from what I've noticed its only from songs that are pulled out of an album and placed alone (as in I only have one song from an album on my iPod) even though other songs that are singles like that work fine. It's very confusing and I have no idea how to fix it, please help. 

    Odds are, the tracks causing the issue are bad. When the ipod tries to play a track that has a problem, it skips to the next track. I realize your track plays in iTunes, but iTunes can play just about anything. Just because something plays in iTunes, does not mean it will play on everything else.
    Your best bet is to re-import the bad tracks or re-sample the ones you have. In iTunes you can do this by highlighting the track causing a problem then selecting create AAC or MP3 version... whatever options you get. Then take that new track and sync it and see if that fixes it.
