Songs not showing in iTunes Music Library....Please help!

Hello,
I'm running into a problem with my iTunes library. I'm pretty new to the Mac - so I was hoping one of the experts on this forum might have an answer. Since we just got our iMac (we're PC converts) I'm totally willing to accept that I may have just dome something incorrect.
I have a DVD/RW that has my music backed up to it (all MP3 and a few AAC), it has about 750 songs in all. I tried to add the music from that disc using "Add To Library" function. It seemed to copy and process all 700+ songs just fine, but when when I look at my Music Library in the main iTunes window, it only shows the first 40 or so (it only has artists A-B alphabetically), and that's it.
When I look in my user/music/itunes/itunes music folder, it appears that iTunes copied all the songs to the folder properly in an itunes music/artist/album format. For some reason it just only shows the first few Artists in the main Music Library.
The weird thing is, I have a couple other discs (CD/RW's) that have a few MP3's on them (10-15 per disc - songs I added after making my large backup)....and I was able to add those to the iTunes library using the same "Add To Library" function, with no issues at all.
This is a brand spankin' new just-out-of-the-box iMac (so a fresh install of Leopard), with all the latest software updates applied before I started putting any of my stuff on.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sully

Use the add to library function again, but just point the application to the iTunes library on the computer rather than the DVD backup.

  • Songs not showing up in iPod. Please help!

    Okay, today I noticed that there are select songs not showing up on my iPod touch.
    I make playlists for all my music...and some songs will be in the playlists, and some aren't.
    So when I search for the songs with artists or song name, it's actually ON my iPod and I can play it. Just not in the playlist I put it in.
    So I check on iTunes to make sure they are in the playlist, and they are. And playable.
    So why aren't some of the songs selectable in the playlists? They are on the iPod, but just not in the playlists. PLEASE HELP

    Anyone?

  • NEW SONGS NOT SHOWING IN ITUNES 11 LIBRARY

    No new songs that i import are showing up in my iTunes Library!!!!! HOWEVER, I can view them in a playlist if I drag and drop them there from my desktop.
    I don't understand why apple have to constantly keep updating and changing things that work perfectly fine, to these dysfunctional versions!!!
    I cannot add any new music, nor can i create ringrtones as it does not allow me to add the AAC version to my library!
    Someone please help!!!

  • How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

  • After synching, my 4S refuses to show my iTunes. music library that  I believe has been transferred successfully

    After synching, my 4S refuses to show my iTunes music library that I believe has been transferred successfully as I used it 2 days ago.

    I don't know what would cause a playlist to suddenly disappear on its own, unless you are syncing using wi-fi and your sync settings were somehow changed.  You may want to try syncing all your music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then sync it all back on.  Hopefully that will re-transfer your playlists and other music and they will stay there this time.

    You said "The messages i received when i did not have signal are not showing up."
    How do you know received them?
    If the sender got a message that the Messagers were not delivered than they were never delivered and the only way for you to get them is for the sender to resent them

    I have lost my audiobooks that I purchases on my old phone. I have gotten a new phone and they are not in the iTunes downloads. Please help.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download - have you not got them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Identifying tracks that are not in the iTunes Music Library

    I've got about 12,000 songs in my iTunes Music Library. Suppose I want to remove some of them, say 2,000 of them, and keep the files. The files will then remain on my computer but not show up in iTunes.
    Is there a utility that will display tracks that are in the iTunes Music folder but are not in the music library? I am sure I will not be able to keep track of which 2,000 tracks I took out of the library. Which means I could forget forever that I even have the music. I thought I saw a reference to a way to do this but I have not been able to figure it out.
    Thanks.

    I would create a new folder and drag these songs from iTunes to this folder then delete them from iTunes and click Yes when it asks to delete from library and delete form hard drive.Delete

  • Recently added movies not showing in iTunes 11 library.

    Hi - I have just converted a movie via Handbrake as usual, added it to iTunes as usual ; but it does not appear in the Movies LIbrary on the iMac. I saw the progress bar that said it was copying etc.
    What is strange, I can see it via AppleTV; but not in the iTunes on the computer.
    So summat is up, this is the  first time I have actually added  something to my library since the dreaded iTunes 11 upgrade.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I also had this problem after upgrading and this is what I did to fix it.
    I belived the issue to caused by the iTunes Library.itl file found in (username) > Music > iTunes, since the iTunes Music Library.xml file contained the missing videos.  I moved the iTunes Library.itl file to my Desktop and relunched iTunes.  iTunes was now blank.  Then I went to File > Library > Import Playlist...  I then selected the iTunes Music Library.xml.  This brought back all the music and videos, including the missing ones.
    I also had to grab the Mobile Applications, Books and Tones folders from Finder and drag them back into iTunes as the iTunes Music Library.xml doesn't contain info about those.  Not sure if you need to drag in the Podcasts folder as well since I don't have any podcasts at the moment.
    I have been able to add new videos since and it works fine.  This is a really tedious issue so I hope to not have to do it again.
    (Note: you could also just create a new iTunes library (hold option when launching on mac, hold shift on windows) and add in the content to the new library.  Make sure to delete the old library when finished.)

  • Songs not showing in iTunes

    I recently moved my iTunes to a new computer. Everything showed up in iTunes except for an audiobook that was purchased from the iTunes store. It is in the iTunes music folder. It shows the files as protected, but other things that were purchased from the store that also have protection work fine. What are the other reasons that the audiobook wouldn't be importing into iTunes? Could it have anything to do with the fact that the individual pieces of the (unabridged) audiobook are so long, routinely well more than an hour apiece?

    Normally there are 4 things - possibly 3 if you never had iTunes 4 - nested in the iTunes folder they are: The path is HD>user>music>iTunes. The following are in the iTunes folder.
    1) iTunes Library - (this is a file)
    2) iTunes Music Library.xml - (this is a file)
    3)iTunes Music - (this is a folder)(If you have this I suspect it is empty as you have directed iTunes to an external drive)
    4) Previous iTunes Libraries - (this too is a folder)

  • After PC crash iPod will not fully resync iTunes music library

    After my PC, using Windows XP crashed, the iTunes music library was able to be copied back to the PC after XP was reinstalled. Music plays fine on PC from iTunes.
    When I connected my iPod 30Gb w/color to the PC all seemed fine. It asked if I wanted to sync. I realize that what was on the iPod would be erased, but then reloaded.
    Only 512 of about 4000 music files were put back on the iPod. When I connect the iPod to the PC, it says that iPod is up to date and I can disconnect.
    How can I get a full resync of ALL the music files?
      Windows XP  

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
