Song count wrong

alright, before i get a lot of responses telling me i should've checked other forum posts for the answer, i have.
it didn't work.
itunes says i have two less song in it than my itunes music folder does. i have tried putting all the songs back in a few different ways (in fact, it was originally one song off, then i deleted the itunes library file and dragged my itunes music folder into a fresh itunes, and then all of a sudden it housed two fewer songs than the folder).
i've also tried going through the entire folder and clicking on every mp3 file and having it play. still nothing.
why is the count off still, then? why does my music folder still insist that it holds two more songs than itunes claims it has?

This is odd I never heard of this problem before. Did you try restarting you computer?

ITunes 11.1.1 SONG Count is WRONG!

Hi,
The title says it all.
However a bit more background detail.
I'm running 10.8.5 on 2.3ghz, iCore 7 with 8gb of DDR3 with Terabyte storage.
Yes the system has been updated, yes i am running the latest iTunes, and YES I have diligently applied all system patches.
That said...
What the frak is wrong with iTunes, aside from the bloated beast it's become ?
As you can see from the images below....the song counts are OFF from the same playlist folder.
The 1st image is from iTunes, the 2nd is from Swinsian. Regardless of Swinsian because it IS reading the exported XML file from iTunes, which is reporting the correct number of songs in a given folder of playlists, iTunes 11 on the other hand is NOT! Sadly. I have gone thru and checked each individaul playlist and done the math that each is reporting the correct number of songs in a playlist...and the number that I come up with is 569 just like Swinsian does and the XML file does. However, iTunes is NOT reporting that...as you can see, it reporting 247! Ummmm iTunes/Apple...your math is slightly WRONG!
Is anyone else seeing this ? Obviously there is a corruption somewhere...but I'll be damned if I can see it or figure out how the frak to fix it....

Please help... Song count not updating on Nano

Hello. No matter how many songs I add to my Nano the song count on the front or main menu of my Nano never updates. My first time syncing I added 329 songs, now I have over 1000 on my Nano but it continues to say 329 at the main menu.
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Steve

No idea, but perhaps it is as simple as performing a Restore on the iPod and seeing if that gets everything back the way it should be working.
Note: Restoring erased the iPod and restores it to factory defaults, so only do this if everything on the iPod is safely backed up elsewhere, hopefully in your iTunes library.

ITunes and iPod show different song counts... not all songs sync

Hi,
I've been having this problem for many many years.
I have more than 18,000 songs now, and the song count in iTunes is always 5 higher than on the iPod. I have my iPod set to sync the entire library. All songs in the library are checked for sync as well. I get no error message during sync that something might be missing, incompatible, or corrupt When I look at iPod music in iTunes it has the wrong count as well.
Every time a new version of iTunes comes out, I send feedback to Apple regarding this issue. As expected, Apple ignores their feedback, and from what I can tell they ignore the community forums as well, and they have yet to address the issue in any way, or even contact me about it.
I'd like to find which songs are bad and remove/delete them from my library and collection or fix them. Is there a sync log hidden somewhere that I can check to see which songs will or won't sync? Why doesn't iTunes tell us whether or not it expects a song to sync or if it's iPod compatible? Why does it say less songs will sync without giving a reason why?
I've heard that iPods don't sync duplicate files, but I've looked at my duplicates.. At some point, Apple screwed that up too, it shows songs that are from different compilations as duplicates now, instead of looking at the data proper to determine if it's a duplicate, it seems to just look at the Artist and Song Title and even that doesn't seem to be correct because I have more duplicate song titles listed and in some cases it lists songs from two different artists as being duplicates. I have many more duplicates listed in itunes than the discrepancy in the song count would suggest... 3,835 more songs to be exact.
I've tried to select only checked songs and get the same results. I've tried to restore the iPod and I get the same results. I've tried clearing the library completely and reloading all songs and I still get the same results. I've scanned through the library and all songs appear to have compatible settings. All my songs are either mp3 or m4a(aac) formats. I don't use playlists at all.
If anyone knows of a solution, please let me know. I don't want to have to check every single file.
Thanks!

So that you know, for the future, Apple makes it very clear (specifically so, when you submit Feedback) that they do not respond to the feedback directly. They do however, read the feedback and consider suggestions for improvements to iPods. They also look for - and act upon - bug reports etc. That's what the Feedback is for.
They also make it clear that they do not monitor or respond to these discussions. (That said, Apple employees are free to - and do look at - some of the posts and have been known to contact posters directly when looking for further information regarding bugs.)
As you have now found, this community (as Apple now prefers to call it) can often help sort out your problems, espcecially when skilled users such as tt2 (aka Steve) are let loose!

HT5312 Downloaded songs to wrong iPod. Can I stop, re-do on other iPod, get credit of unused downloads?!

I accidentally started a download of around 25 songs on iTunes using a gift card, but did it too the wrong iPod. Is there a way too cancel the downloads and transfer the unused credit too my other iPod?

You should be able to connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over and you can then sync them to your other iPod.

ITunes match matched songs to wrong language

iTunes match has matched some of my Indian songs to wrong language. Many of the big budget movies these days are releasing their movies in several languages at the same time and making them all available to purchase from iTunes store. When I ripped a CD I already had, iTunes matched some of them into a wrong language. Name of the song is still showing original, but the actual track is in wrong language.
Is there any way I can force iTunes to re-match?

Songs that are ineligible because they are too low of a bit rate can be converted to a higher bit rate by right-clicking and creating either an AAC or MP3 version. Mind you, the quality will NOT improve; in fact it could degrade a little, but the songs will indeed be re-encoded at a higher bit rate. Once iTunes recognizes that they are encoded at a high enough bit rate, they will no longer be ineligible. And they greatest part is, if they are matched by iTunes, then not only will you have them in the iCloud, but you will be able to delete the original song files (do not select the option to delete them from iCloud) and re-download the matched songs from iTunes in far greater quality.

How do I view total song count in iTunes 11? Previous versions listed total song counts at the bottom.

Does anyone know how I can view my total song count in my library in iTunes 11? All previous versions listed the total song count in my library at the bottom. Thanks for the help!

It sounds like the staus bar is turned off. Select view from the menu bar and enable the staus bar.

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Library total song count different than available "Entire music library" number for mobile devices?

If I go to my iTune library and display the song count I see I have 3094 separate songs. However when I connect my iPhone or iPad and I choose "Sync Music" with the option "Entire music library" it shows 2963 songs. I have 10GB+ of available space on both devices, so it's not a space issue. Concerned I had songs in my library that were not mapped to actual files on my drive I audited them. I highlighted all the songs, chose "Get Info" then changed the BPM to 999, once they processed I sorted by BPM and they all read 999, there were no gaps that would indicate a broken file association.
I can't seem to find any other possible explanation. If any one has any ideas, and an option to resolve the problem I'm definitely open to suggestion, thanks!
OS X: 10.9.5
iOS: 8.0.2
iTunes: 11.4

Possibilities are that unchecked songs are not being synced to the device, or that your library contains what I refer to as "logical" duplicates, two or more entries in the database that point to the same physical file on disc. If you have logical duplicates only one copy of the track is left on the device after syncing, but you may see the same set of tracks being added each time you sync even though nothing has been changed in your library.

ITunes 11 Song Count

iTunes 11 no longer shows the number of songs that are in my music library. How do I get the song count back?

Not sure how this is possible but I do not see "Show Status Bar" in my View menu. Anyone know how this is posssible?

Song count (e.g 2848 songs) is incorrect!

The problem I and some of my friends have been having with iTunes is that my library will say I have 2849 songs. But when I copy all of them to my Ipod, it switches to 2848. No one knows what happens to that one song... Checking if Itunes really did miss a song would be a long task. Also, when backing up the Ipod using different programs, it would seem that each program also gives a different song count. One program will say there are so many songs on your ipod, while the other will say there are only that many. Why do the song counts fluctuate? And should we be worried that our songs really are getting lost...

Most likely your songs are not getting lost, but some of them are in different formats. I have the original ipod and it actually shows a warning when I'm updating that says "The file blah blah will not be imported because files with the extension whatever cannot be played on your ipod." Check and see if any of your songs are a different format. They may be able to be played on your computer but not on the ipod.

Different song counts on iTunes & iPhone(?)

Greetings;
I've been noticing a difference between the synched song counts that are displayed in iTunes/Devices on the "Music" tab, and the actual number of songs that are on my iPhone. Any idea why this is?

Go into iTunes, connect your iPhone, and select it in the sidebar under "Devices". In the main browser window, click on the Music tab. Under "Sync Music", see if it's set to sync everything or selected playlists. That's where you tell iTunes what to sync to the iPhone.
It's also possible that your iPhone has hit its limit and cannot sync as many songs as iTunes is tasked to do.
In any case, I'd look at those two things first.
Good luck.

Just uploaded latest version . there is a song count and playtime for each playlist, but not for the whole library or dupes list which is seriously annoying

Encoder counts wrong after Firmware update to 7.2?

Hi,
I recently updated the firmware of my motion controller card 7344 PCI to 7.2.
Since then a 360degree-rotation in 15degrees-steps seems to miss one 15degree-step. A 360degree-rotation stopps at 345degrees
I think that maybe the encoder counts wrong or the move function isn't executed one time.
Has anybody expierienced similar problems or has any hints?
Thx.
PS. Does anybody know a way to downgrade the firmware to the version below? It seems that the firmware update causes the problem.

saimen54,
Odd behavior. Is there anyway you could post the code for a simplified version of your program that exhibits this same issue. I don't think there will be any other way to troubleshoot your issue without taking a look at the code.

Song Count Different in iTunes Library and iPod

I am perplexed now. iTunes says I have 6643 songs in the library, and it says it is fully synched with my iPod. Yet the iPod thinks it has only 6603 songs on it. I have gone carefully through the library, and every song thinks it is downloaded. When I mount the iPod, and highlight it in the Source column, the library also reports that the iPod has only 6603 songs on it, so it agrees with the iPod. So what are the 40 songs that the library has that won't download onto the iPod?

Solution found. I find this amazing, but the iTunes library and the iPod treat duplicates in different ways. In iTunes, if one accidentally ends up with a duplicate song (for example by ripping the same CD twice, not realizing it was ripped before) the iTunes library shows the song twice (and the underlying mp3 files exists twice in the store). And the number of songs showing in the library includes both copies of the song, the original and the duplicate. If you then synch up the iPod, however, iTunes only loads one copy of the song to the iPod. So in my case it transpired that there were 40 duplicates on my computer, none of which downloaded to the iPod, and that is why the song count was higher in the iTunes library, and why the volume of music in the library showed as 240 MB more than what was in the iPod. Very strange design that iTunes knows enough not to download duplicates, but still shows them in the library. Solution is to go to Edit / Show Duplicates in the iTunes library, but be careful as there will be many false positives.
