Songs not all showing within itunes

Hello, I have three users on my computer so when I back up our iphones and itouches our songs and applications can remain seperate. I put all of our songs on the primary user however the other two users don't show all of the songs even though they are all on the computer. How do I get them to show up under all users? Thanks

The iTunes named folder is located in your Music folder which I believe is in the Documents folder with Windows. Copy the iTunes named folder to an external drive used for backup purposes. Login to another computer login account and with iTunes quit under the login account place the copy in the same location. Repeat for the additional computer login account.
With a Mac, there is a Shared folder for each computer login account. The Shared folder can be used to share files with other users or computer login accounts on the computer. The Shared folder is set up so that all users on the computer can open files in the folder and copy files to it. I assume there should be the same or similar with Windows.

Iphotos on mac not all showing in itunes

I have 3500 photos on iphoto on my macbook pro.
When i connect my iphone and go to photos sync page in itunes, I can choose wehre to sync from. I then select iphoto (because I dont konw where else my iphotos are) and then i see about 800 photos listed beside the word iphoto folder in itunes.
So why are 2700 photos that are on my mac book not showing in my itunes that is also on my macbook and how do i get them onto my iphone where i want to use iphoto

I would say your photos are still in the library package/folder but the database is damaged. Since we don't know what version of iPhoto and system you're using this may be your only option:

Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I do not receive all my e-mailson all my devices. I seem to get them all on my iPhone 5s, but not all show up on my iPad and iMac. they are all set up the same. Any Ideas on what is going on and what I can do to remedy this? thanks

I have an iMac with OS X Lion 10.7.5,an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2 and an iPad with iOS 7.1.2. all software is up to date. My problem is I do not receive all my e-mail on all 3 devices all the time. I seem to get them on my phone , but not all show up on my iMac or iPad. Any ideas as to what is going on and what can I do to resolve this issue? thanks

On the iPhone, go into Settings -> Store and turn off "Automatic Downloads" for Apps (and Music and Books, if you wish). You can also do that on the iPad to prevent it from going in the opposite direction.
That will stop any automatic downloading... to prevent them from coming over when using iTunes, select the phone (under Devices), Apps, and then uncheck "Automatically sync new apps." Again, do the same for the iPad if you wish.

I preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened

i preordered an album and i only got some songs not all, what happened??

What do you mean 'only got some songs not all' ?
Has the album now been released ? If it is has and you've paid for it (you aren't charged when you pre-order an item, only when it's released) then you should be able to download the complete e.g. via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match. iTunes is trying to match and upload songs not purchased from the iTunes store; however, it keeps shutting down before it finishes. Has this happened to anyone else?

Turn off iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows) then quit iTunes. Open it after a few seconds, and turn iTM back on.

How do i move music from iphone to pc - not all downloaded from itunes store?

how do i move music from iphone to pc - not all downloaded from itunes store?

iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of all your important data (including your iTunes library) stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only, or on other media such as CD or DVD is so important.

Why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.

i don't know why...

Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff.

Why do I have to re add all songs/apps/movies/shows to Itunes??

Itunes seems to lose all my songs/apps/movies/shows every once and a while and it all has to be re added?? HELP, why does it keep doing this??

Normally no, updating iTunes won't affect your library at all. That said, it would be wise prior to the upgrade to make a backup of the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files and of any tracks you've purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, just in case something does go wrong.

Way to only backup new songs, not all songs that we backed up before?

I know this isn't a forum for my specific external harddrive, but I'm hoping one of you brilliant people might be able to help me. Every time I add a new song to my iPod, I back up my music files (as found by viewing/saving the "hidden" music files in the iPod_Control folder when viewing the iPod as a disk drive). I like backing my songs up this way because the hidden files contain everything that I've saved to the song files (album art, artist, etc.), so if I ever need to re-add these songs to iTunes, I won't need to add these things again. However, copying ALL of these files to my external harddrive takes FOREVER. Unfortunately, these files aren't labeled with the name of the song or artist, they're simply letters and numbers, such as F05, so I have no idea which file is which song. Does anybody have any tips for distinguishing when these files were created/what's in them or how I can only back up NEW data-things I haven't backed up previously? I'd really appreciate ANY tips!

Rarely would one want/need to 'backup' the actual iPod. It is easier to just backup your iTunes system from the PC.
The generally accepted method of iPod/iTunes use is to:
- Have the complete Library contained within iTunes on the PC
- Have a complete or partial Library on the iPod
- Have a complete backup of the iTunes Library stored externally
If anything happens to the iPod's music (which is very possible), just re-sync to your iTunes. If anything happens to your iTunes music, just recover from your backup files.
Transferring data to/from the iPod itself outside of iTunes is slow and usually confusing.
If you want to completely backup you music Library, see this post as a start:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1350956
- Backup all music files
- Backup the Library metadata database file
- Backup the .pref files of iTunes (not as critical)
- Make an XML copy of your Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes for all files (See: http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1339320 ) This is a redundant partial copy of the ITL metadata file information.
Your method will work, but it sure is a back-end around a rather simple process.
BTW:
Song attributes stored directly in each music file are as follows: Artist, Album, Song Title, Year, Comments, Compilation tag, Lyrics, Genre , Grouping, Composer, BPM, Album Artwork, Bit Rate & Kind (Both not tags - inherent to the file itself).
Song attributes stored in the iTunes Library database file only are: Playlists, Ratings, Play Count, Last Played, Date Added, Date Modified, Equalizer, Volume Adjustment.

My songs aren't showing in itunes from purchases made on iphone

so I have made numerous purchases on my iphone 3g that show up in my itunes library but I have many more than it shows, when I tried the check for downloads or reauthorizing the computer nothing changes, I just want to make sure that when I upgrade to my new shiny iphone 4 sitting in my lap I don't lose any of those songs that were just on my iphone and not in my library on my computer..
can I just use the restore feature and get everything that was on my old iphone when i plug the new one in? or are the back ups usable for accessing some songs that only show up on my iphone 3g

No.
Everything needs to be on your computer.
Music/tv shows/etc are NOT part of the backup. You need to transfer ALL purchases to your computer.

Songs not all copying to iPod

I had too many songs for my iPod Mini, so initially it created a playlist for these. Now, however, after restoring the software a couple of times (was transferring data from PC) iTunes refuses to make a playlist of songs to copy.
Furthermore, I have deleted a great deal from my library and now there IS enough space, but my iPod stubbornly lists all but seven of them, no matter how many I delete.
I've restored the iPod again just now, and then deleted my entire library and restored my iPod, then replaced all the songs, and it gives me the same error, about not being able to copy the songs. Does anyone have any ideas?

It might of loaded the whole iTunes database but not all songs, so all the other times you sync, iTunes thinks iPod already has the songs maybe.
Try running the latest updater on it and restoring it. Restore wipes the iPod clean and then u use iTUnes to load it back up. the latest iPod updater is version 03-23-2006 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

Not all music in iTunes will sync to iPhone4.

I have plenty of open available space on my iPhone4. But for some reason, not all the songs in my iTunes library will sync to the iPhone.
Any ideas??
Help please!
Thanks

apparently you're question is answered because you marked it so ... ?
anyhoo, what's the capacity of your Touch and what's the total size of the 1500 songs ?

How do you uncheck songs and TV shows in iTunes?

I have iTunes 12.1.0.50. Everytime I try to uncheck a box an exclamation point in a circle pops up. Its extremely frustrating and I can't figure it out.

Hi Ky1017,
The exclamation point symbol next to songs or other media in iTunes means that the application is unable to locate the media file for that item, or it was purchased but not downloaded. This article tells how you can correct the issue -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Aperture album contents not all showing on Apple TV photos; random photos missing

Only noticed this problem by chance when searching for a particular set of photos while viewing Aperture photos via an Apple TV 2. Some Albums are fine others have a random number of photos missing (compared with viewing in Aperture itself) with as little as one photo being shown when there are hundreds in the Album. Any suggestions/ideas as to whether the problem may a set up issue or systematic?

You may not have previews built for the photos that are not showing up. Select all the pictures in the Album that is not displaying all photos, right click while holding the mouse over one of the selected photos, and then select "update previews". After Aperture has built previews for all the photos in that album, you may have to quit Aperture before they will all show up on the AppleTV (when you quit Aperture you will see a progress bar saying "updating sharing preferences", or something to that effect).
If there is a way to get Aperture to update sharing preferences without quiting, will someone reply to the method to achive this? So far, quiting is the only way I have discovered to force Aperture to update the sharing prefs.
Let us know if this works. Usually photos not showing up outside of Aperture is caused from not having previews built for those photos.

HT202157 hulu plus queue not all showing

My Apple TV - since the update and new hulu plus design - has not been showing all of my queue or subscriptions/favorites. I have cross-checked it with my hulu account online, and the Apple TV is cutting off roughly the last 10 of my subscriptions and queue. There is no way for me to get to those shows or episodes on the Apple TV. I have the latest update installed for Apple TV and also restarted several times incluing my entire wifi system, and no luck. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi there,
Sorry for the trouble, please let us thoroughly troubleshoot this matter for you.

We look forward to resolving this for you.
Thanks,
