Song list won't update

When I delete or add music to my Pre, the song list will not update. The software keeps the list of songs from my last sync of ITunes, when it was compatible, but now will not show anything new, nor will it remove the songs that have been deleted.
I have tried the drag and drop to the music file as suggested, but those songs do not appear to be on my phone to be played. So a little help please on an effective way to update this songlist so I can hear what I have added and remove what I deleted.
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums;
I would try syncing all of your USB data back to your PC, then try the Erase USB Drive under Device Info. There may be something left over from iTunes that is not clearing out the space available or the songlist. If that doesn't solve the problem, the next thing I would try would be a Full Erase.
While the webOS Doctor is the last step after an erase, I doubt that step will be needed in this case. If it is though, you can find it here: www.palm.com/rom

Song lyrics won't update in iTunes

There's a persistent piece of text that is not willing to leave the lyrics on a certain album of mine. The lyrics do show up correctly for those songs that have lyrics, but for the instrumental songs where there are no lyrics, this piece of text always appears, even though i erase it from the lyrics tab. The same text also appears on ALL of the songs in the album on my iPhone 4S. I have tried several times deleting the songs and adding them back to the library and my iPhone, but it hasn't worked. I have also tried an extrenal ID3 tag editor, but that also didn't work. Is there any way to get my lyrics to update to the correct ones on my iPhone as well as to remove the piece of text appearing all over my instrumental songs.

I've got the same problem. Both in Windows and on my iBook... Both are running iTunes 4.7.1. I talked to a friend of mine and she's running 5.0.1 with no problems.
I did try "add album" and it shows up in my shopping cart, but the items i had in there before are also invisible. (The add to the total cost, but aren't listed in the song list.) Even empty is says the total cost is near $16, but i can't click on Buy.
I'm guessing they've decided to force us to upgrade to 6...

Quick Drop list won't update during search

My Quick Drop started acting up today. Normally, when I begin typing, the list under the search box will update to show all of the possible matches. This is no longer happening. It still tries to autocomplete the search field, but the list doesn't update. [screenshot attached]
I'm running LabVIEW 2009 SP1 on Windows XP 32-bit.
For what it's worth, LabVIEW crashed went on vacation early last Wednesday evening, just before I was
getting ready to leave for the weekend. When I returned to work this morning, Quick Drop was no
longer functioning properly. I don't know if these two events are
related, but I figured that it was a possibility.
I've tried rebooting my PC and renaming the LabVIEW.ini file and restarting LabVIEW with a fresh configuration, but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Solved!

Thanks for the additional info. I don't think the window position issue is related to the search results updating issue. (Incidentally, there's a fix in LabVIEW 2010 for when there are bad window coordinates for the Quick Drop window stored in the INI file).
Anyway, I still think that NI-SEARCH is the culprit, but since you can't reliably repair your installation, we can't know for sure. So instead, I'd like you to try the following workaround:
1. Go in [LabVIEW 2009]\resource\dialog\QuickDrop and rename QuickDrop Launch Window.vi to be QuickDrop Launch Window.bak.
2. Save the attached QuickDrop Launch Window.vi below to [LabVIEW 2009]\resource\dialog\QuickDrop.
Now try Quick Drop and see if the results update properly. Basically, I modified the shipping version of the main Quick Drop UI to use the old LabVIEW 8.6-style of matching results instead of the NI-SEARCH mechanism. Let me know if this fixes the problem.

Missing cover art swipe-back to song list-command after update

Before when listening to music, you could swipe your finger to the right and the Touch would go back to the listing of songs. It seems after the last update this does not work anymore. Any tips? It makes it more difficult to use one-handed.

i'm not sure what you mean. when i listen to music, swiping my finger does nothing (other than when in cover flow, when it just changes to the next album.)
tapping the screen in cover flow brings up a list of tracks in that album.
tapping the list icon in the top right of the screen when NOT in cover flow will do the same.

Song List Won't Shuffle on iPhone

My iphone has just recently refused to shuffle songlists. I tap shuffle at the head of the list, a song commences and just repeats. Also when I tap an album cover and tap the shuffle icon and it goes blue, the same first song repeats...no shuffle. Anyone know what to do?

Hello Christiansted,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
In addition to shuffle, you probably have repeat enabled. When you tap the screen or cover art while playing a song, the scrubber bar has the Shuffle button at the right end and the Repeat button at the left end.
If the circular arrows are blue, it will repeat the album or playlist.
If the circular arrows have a small number 1 on them, it will only repeat one song
If they are white, Repeat is off.

ITunes song lists won't display, iTMS works fine

I'm not sure what I did, but when I open up iTunes (7.2) and click on Library or a playlist, it won't display the list of music. The iTunes store displays fine, and the music still plays (I have to cycle through it blindly), which makes me think the problem is with the rendering of the list or the program's reference to it being null. I'm not too sure. Interestingly enough, the search text box is disabled.
I've obviously rebooted the computer and tried to delete the old library XMLs and re-import, but neither of those helped. Suggestions would be great.

Reinstalled iTunes. Worked like a charm.

Problem after OS4 Update- iPod song list deleted.

After I upgraded to the new OS, I noticed in my iPod, at the bottom it lists these categories: "Playlists", "Artists", "Songs", "Videos", "More"
When I go to songs, all my songs are no longer listed in this category, why? All the music I had on it is still there and I can still choose under "Artists". All music is present, but somehow they all disappeared from the "Song" category.
Has anyone experienced this problem after the new update and how to solve it? Thanks.

I fixed my song list now!
What I did was:
Plugged Iphone to computer, started itunes and clicked Iphone/music to display all music on it
Selected ALL songs, right clicked, went to info screen.
Under comment, i input a word and checked box so all songs would be updated with this word and then clicked OK
Waited for my song list to be updated on the computer and for it to Automatically sync with my iphone and then all music came right back.
Note: I have the latest Itunes, windows 7, all autosync OFF and manually manage music ON

Hey there! So I plugged in my ipod to my computer and it didn't show up where it normally does. I need to update my song list. How can I make it appear? It doesn't come up in iphoto either. A few days ago my sis plugged it into another computer but I don't know if she synched it to the other computer, and frankly, she won't remember. I have tried updating itunes, charging the ipod, restarting the ipod/computer, and the rest of what the apple site said to do. Ps I have the latest ipod touch
I need help stat! Please help!

I'd say your sister messed up and your iPod is toasted.
Think about it... She plugged it in to another computer, she doesn't remember what she did (yeah, right), and now your iPod is not being recognized by your computer...
Also take into consideration how old is your sister, and how much does she know about electronics?

HELP! Shuffle won't update songs

I have been trying to update my shuffle song list but it won't let me. The shuffle recharges and plays ok but won't let me change the song list. I have uninstalled and restalled the IPod & Itunes but that doesn't fix it. Has any one else had this problem and fixed it?

You're not the only one. My son's shuffle is now completely useless- NOTHING will help in anything I have found. He has no songs and no ability for itunes to put anything on it. Try explaining that there's nothing to be done about it (short of buying a CD player and just burning CDs-how 90s!) to an 11-year-old who LOVES music.
My own shuffle won't update and itunes shuts down immediately when I click on the shuffle autofill button.
The obvious culprit? The most recent update of iTunes. I think there's a software glitch, and I'm very upset that the people who wrote this stuff didn't check it out before the autoupdater ruined people's enjoyment of their shuffles. Everything was fine before I updated. GRRR!!!

When i updated itunes I lost all my music, I was able to retrieve it from my previous version, but now a artists have all of their songs list under one unknown cd. How can I seperate these cds with the correct songs included?

When I updated itunes I lost all of my music, I was able to retrieve it from a previous itunes library, but now some artists have all of their songs listed under one "unknown album." Is there a way to separate these songs back into the correct albums? Also, is there a way to make songs that have a featured guest just show up with the rest of the album instead of making a whole new spot for it? Thanks!

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

IPod touch won't update,certain songs won't sync...I'm even trying to restore my iPod and that won't even work. Help!

So I have an iPod 4th generation. I've been having problems downloading certain songs...I download my songs from youtube converter and all my other songs I have synced just fine. But there are about 10 songs that won't download,yes I have tried to convert them to AAC or whatever that is,and it seems like that won't work either. I thought maybe it isn't working because I haven't updated my iPod from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3,I try updating and it tells me Error,this ipod could not be updated error 3194...I ask around for questions as to why that isn't working and they tell me to restore. I try to restore on my computer and I get ANOTHER message saying This iPod cannot be restored error 3194.
Yes I've reinstalled iTunes and everything else.
Yes I've tried restoring and updating for a different computer but on the other computer it couldn't detect my iPod...
I'm having sooo many problems...help! I really do like my iPod touch but it seems to have a lot of problems

I purchased a song on iTunes and it shows up in the song list with an exclamation point on the side of it. It says the song could not be found. I have done a search and can't find it but iTunes won't let me download or buy it again. Help!!

Hello levon10
Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

Some songs listed in my iTunes Library won't play

I'm running iTunes 8.0.2.20 on Windows XP SP3.
My iTunes library is set to be located in the default place, i.e.
C:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
It's fairly large (11833 songs to date).
I regularly sync my 160GB iPod classic with it.
Recently I have been finding that various songs listed in my iTunes library will not play - if I click to play them, nothing happens.
If I right-click on them (Get Info) and follow the listed path to where they are in my library, I go use Windows Explorer to access the underlying MP3 in a different application (e.g. WinAmp) and the MP3s do seem to be present and correct and play fine in WinAmp.
So far all the songs this has happened with have been ones which were ripped off my CDs to MP3 before I got the iPod, and subsequently imported into iTunes.
Any suggestions as to what is going on and how to repair it?
Obviously, I can manually delete the songs that won't play from iTunes, then re-import them all over again from the original CD..... but this is a bit time-consuming (especially where I have customized the metadata and artwork beyond what is in the Gracenote® database)....and with over 10 thousand songs in my library, there's no way to test them all easily to see which ones work and which don't.
Is my library getting corrupted in some way?
Is there a way to rebuild it somehow? (without losing my customized metadata and artwork?)

Yes, actually lots of folks. iTunes 8 has gotten really fussy about MP3 tags and won't play or even add them to the library if it doesn't care for their format. They may have played in previous versions, but won't now.
Use Mp3 Validator to fix any tag issues. It's a free DL. I've used it, and it works.
Just try it on one song and you'll believe!
Here is a good web article on it:

Duplicate music albums and song listing after updating to iOS 5

Anyone else seeing duplicate music albums in carousel mode? After updating to iOS 5 i notice a few albums have duplicate albums or song listing.
I have 1 album thats duplicated 8 times in carousel mode and twice in album listing, none are excalty the same. Example 8 albums, each either holds all the songs or part of the album. Duplicate albums would 3-4 of the same songs, although there is only one file when viewing thru itunes.
Any answers would help, thanks

Thanks but i just tired that ad it didnt work either. All my albums are in order with tracks, artist, disc and etc. Never had a problem with this when i was on iOS 4.
Additional Note: Videos no longer continue where i left off even though the option to do so has been selected.
Anyone experiencing lag on their Touch Gen4? Like shutter sound when you put the screen to sleep takes a second after the button is pressed which use to be instant.
Apple...got any take on these matters?

Recovering iTunes Song List (iTunes Library.xml not updated)

How do I recover the iTunes library song list? My computer recently crashed, so I had to get this new one. The old hard drive is working fine. I just need the song list to be able to identify the songs that I have yet to copy unto my iPod (I arrange the library by 'Date Added'). Since my music files are located in a variety of places, it would be very difficult for me to locate each without being guided by the list.
For some weird reason, the iTunes Library.xml is not updated. It's still dated 2009, so that fix goes out the window, I guess.
Thanks in advance.

try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.
