Songs Are Not Showing in Music App

I have synced my iTunes library to my iPad Mini. If I go to Settings > About > General I see the correct number of songs listed. Also, all my restrictions are off. However, my songs are not showing in the music app. If I am at home and on the same network I can see them listed if I go to the Music > Library > My Library. But if I am away from home I do not see this option and do not see the entirety of my music library or playlists. Has anyone else encountered this?

You are seeing the Shared Library in Home Sharing. You have to be on the same WiFi network as the iTunes library that you want to share, so that is why you see those songs when you are at home. The songs that you see in there are not on your iPad.
For whatever reason, all of your songs did not sync correctly. How are you syncing? Are you syncing automatically and if so have you selected the entire Music Library to sync? Take a look at this. The fact that it is written for the iPod doesn't matter since it works the same way for any iOS device.

    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).

    my songs are not saved in music throuh i tools

    Ok, after copious amounts of button pressing and check boxes I think I've got it.
    Go into the preferences menu under edit.
    Click the playback tab/icon
    There is a drop down menu that says "Play audio using", set this to Windows Audio Session.
    Hit ok.
    Restart iTunes.
    For me, this worked. I hope it works for you too!

  • Songs are not showing up in my Windows Media Player Library

    So the title says much of it, but I have music that I downloaded through the Itunes store that is not showing up for some reason in my WMP library. In fact, the vast majority of my songs do not show up in the library. I did not rip any of the songs, seeing
    as I don't even know what ripping is or how to do it. I use Windows Media Player more extensively than Itunes, so it is really frustrating to not have most of my music useable. 

    Hi,
    Based on my research, if the extensions of the music are m4a, Windows Media Player cannot play them.
    More information:
    Information about the Multimedia file types that Windows Media Player supports
    Cannot Play "m4a" Songs
    on Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, Songs Purchased & Downloaded from iTunes
    WMP Does NOT recognize m4a As Music
    Hope this helps.

  • I have "Explicit" songs tags in iTunes, but they (the tags, not the songs) are not showing up on my iPhone Music.

    Hi,
    I recently found a way to add the "EXPLICIT" tag to songs in my iTunes Library (using Subler), and just presumed that the tags were not showing up in my iPhone Music because the phone simply did not have the function to display them.
    However, in iOS 7, and seeing every song I have ever purchased, I noticed that the iPhone can indeed show whether songs are explicit or not (by marking them with a letter 'E').
    Therefore I am just wondering why I can see whether songs are explicit on my Mac, yet not on my iPhone. I have tried removing the songs from my iTunes Library, syncing to remove them from my phone, re-adding them to my Library, and then re-syncing to put them back onto my phone, and the explicit tag still does not show up.
    Please can you help me resolve this.
    Thanks
    iphone 5s - ios 7

    If you buy them as a Ringtone, then Itunes should automatically put them in Tones. It is a huge hassle and takes time most of us don't have to waste, when we purchased them as Tones and Apple told me they would automatically show up in Tones if purchased from Itunes Store. NOT!  And we shouldn't have to google to find the answer. They should make that clear on Itunes store.  Very disappoiinted in the Itunes upgrades that have caused so many problems.

    If you are syncing your contacts from your PC with iCloud, they are not transferred to your phone using iTunes.  They are synced to your phone using iCloud, either over wifi or your cellular data network.
    First go to icloud.com with your computer browser, sign into your account and open Contacts there to confirm that your contacts appear.  If they do, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contact on.  Assuming your phone is either connected to wifi or your cellular data network, the contacts should then download from iCloud to your phone.

  • Itunes radio not showing on music app

    i have the iphone 5 and updated to ios 7 but the Iradio icon is no longer available? Re- startedthe phone but didnt work...

    Hi fred,
    Here are a couple of easy things to try first:
    Close all apps (including your iTunes): Double click the Home key and then swipe up on the thumbprints that display above the icons
    Reset again: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds)
    Once the Home screen redisplays, see if the radio shows up in your Music app
    If that does not resolve the issue, then do a full restore using iTunes on your computer. Be sure to do a backup before restoring:

  • Songs are not showing up on my ipod, even though...

    So I have a playlist on my ipod with 35 podcasts in it. I manually loaded the podcasts. When I connect to my computer I can see the songs on the ipod and play them on my computer. However, when I turn on my ipod and go to that playlist it is empty. I cannot find the podcasts anywhere (viewing by song or artist does not show them). The files are MP3 and I have the latest iOS. Any help?

    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:

  • Songs are not showing up in IPOD (Album)

    I have the 30gb video ipod and am having troubles finding specific songs which have transfered from the library to the ipod
    It tends to be songs which did not have an "album" associated with the song. Rather I'll see all the songs for a specific artist whom had albums tagged but none without..
    thanks for any help you can provide

    Songs not showing under Artist on iPod
    Two things usually contribute to this happening, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) as you have discovered, it is missing an album name. See this link to the Apple document on the subject: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    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. The test for this is to highlight a song you know is not appearing then from the iTunes File menu, choose Get Info and click the Info tab, if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you'll 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, this means therefore they don't transfer over in the same way.

  • Phone reboots when certain songs are played on the music app?

    on my iphone 5c, if i try playing certain songs in my music app, they play for a few seconds and then my entire phone reboots. i have a lot of music on my phone and all of the songs that do this are from the same album. it also didn't start doing this until after i updates to ios 8. i've tried looking elsewhere to see if someone else has had this problem but i've come up empty. its really inconvenient because i can't even listen to those songs now. i've also noticed that its only when i have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into my phone.

    Hi princessruto,
    If you are having issues with your restarting when certain songs are played through headphones, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My songs are NOT showing up in iTunes

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and i signed in to my iTunes account. But for some reason, when I click "Library" it automatically takes me to this page that says "Music" at the top then says "go to itunes store or scan for music." Also, when I'm in the iTunes store, i see my email, which is my user ID, so I know I'm signed in. Just my music is not showing up. (btw I already authorized my computer)
    Any advice?
    Thanks so much
