Songs not Showing Up!!! Help

I have a rather bizarre problem. I have eight (8) songs from the group "Styx" on my iPhone. When on the portrait view in ipod mode in the artists tab, I can click
"Styx" and all eight songs show up. However, when turning to landscape (coverflow) and I select "Styx", I just see one song. All eight songs are in the same album, etc. and are not otherwise different. Why is just this one showing in coverflow instead of all eight? "Styx" is not the only group of songs I'm having problems with. Probably have 10-15 albums doing this same thing.

Are you sure they arent just each showing up under a different play list in coverflow? It seems the only way to fix problems thats recommended on this forum is either to remove the actuals files and reload them or restore your iphone. Im guessing removing them and reloading them under a new playlist should fix this problem. However, im really unsure why this would happen. I think its possible they are showing up individually in cover flow. If not, remove and reload.

  • 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?

  • My icloud songs not showing up in my itunes window even though itunes match is turned on

    my icloud songs not showing up in my itunes window even though itunes match is turned on

    I Am having a similar issue with my husbands iTunes match. I restored a 2011 iMac and decided to download all my husbands music via iTunes match.  Apart from taking ages, he only has 2,500 songs on the match, it greyed out lots of songs, which later I found out said that they were 'waiting' also, loads are missing. I tried following someone else's thread and tried to delete the greyed out ones so I can download again but I fear I may have completely deleted them. Also, I have a lot of duplicates, both on iCloud and both downloaded! What's happening? My iTunes appear to be behaving ok!

  • Previously purchased songs NOT showing as purchased in the itunes store. I dont want to re-buy something I already have. How can I get this fixed?

    Ive got quite a few songs. I dont want to rebuy one ive already got. Why are my songs not showing as purchased in store like they once did? How do I solve this issue?

    Hi,
    Go to song view, add iCloud status. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, ineligible or waiting. As the scan is stalling with one track remaining, find this track - it is likely to have a icloud status of waiting.
    Suggest that you delete from library then select update iTunes Match. Once match completes try readding track - by the way how. Big is the track and whatever is its media type?

  • IPod Classic no music, freezing iTunes, not showing up, HELP????

    I have a used iPod Classic 120GB. I bought it off my friend. I took it home and added my files (about 5,000 songs and 13 videos) to his stuff (about 6,000 songs) and ended up with it being about half full. I let it sync, then ejected and disconnected. But it said there was nothing on it. I went back and reconnected it to my iTunes. The iTunes froze, and I couldnt access the iPod in anyway. I disconnected it, and when I did it unfroze everything, and popped up in iTunes, saying that the iPod was missing.
    I checked the iPod's "About" section and it said that it had 56GB of "Other". I took it back to my friend and he said he deleted the folder with everything in it. It is empty now except for 1.2 GB of who knows what, but still freezing my system and not showing up.
    I have tried restarting it, and putting it into disk mode. Nothing worked.

    HI, i am having the same issue with my ipod. Can you please tell me what you mean by putting on "disk mode" and deleting the files? Thanks
    First let's make sure the drive is physically OK...
    *Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

    Assuming you've ruled out a physical problem with the iPod's drive we can now move on to check for logical problems...
    *Check iPod hard-drive for errors*
    Hold Select+Menu on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Select+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Open iTunes and in the Sync tab of the preferences menu check *Disable automatic syncing of all iPhones & iPods*. Now connect your iPod to the computer, wait until it connects, then close iTunes. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of a successful restore. It might also pay to check the status of the source drive containing your media, particularly if no errors were found on the iPod.
    And if that still doesn't help try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from restoring it.
    Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. I have found that lots of large or complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
    *Break up large transfers*
    In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

  • Songs not showing up in the Music folder but in a playlist

    Hi,
    Something weird is happening with iTunes.
    Just before upgrading to 10.5, I had a problem where after opening a M3U playlist from the finder, the playlist was added as a regular playlist.
    I can play the songs, when I go in the Get Info of the file, I can see that the file has been copied to the iTunes Music folder.
    But when I look for the new imported songs from the top Music Folder, then the songs don't show up.
    I opened the iTunes Library XML file and the songs are correctly listed.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, just to clarify, this is my problem:
    When I double click on a song from my computer, it plays in iTunes, but it is not copied into my music library. Also, when I import a audio cd, it imports but does not show up in the music library, nor can I click and drag it there or to my Iphone. In the past clicking on these tracks would automatically save it in my library. I noticed this problem last week perhaps after upgrading to iTunes 10.1.2.
    Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

  • All songs not showing up in media player

    I loaded songs onto my 8gb microsd card. I can see that the songs are on the card (on the computer and in the phone) but all of them do not show up under media player. When I explore the memory card, I can play the songs that are not on the media player when I go through the folders so I know they are not DRM protected. How can I get the songs to show up in the media player?

    Hi,
    If you are able to see the songs on the media card and they play as well, I wouldn't
    think the method to move the media is the issue. The issue seems to be the
    indexing of the catalogue.
    On the Blackberry go to the main media home screen.
    Menu key, explore, media card. Find the music folder, menu key show hidden.
    Delete the BBthumbs.dat file. Do a battery pull and return to the media screen
    and let the phone fully re-index the files. See if you have all files listed.
    Thanks,

  • Importing songs not showing up in itunes

    I have about 200gb of music on an external hd. I import songs into itunes (it shows adding files) but I can not find the songs in itune. Or it will import 1-5 songs out of the 15 or so that were in the folder I was attempting to import.
    I tried to import all 200gb of music but only about 1/4 is showing up in itunes.
    I have even draged and dropped songs from ext. hd into itunes using my computer window next to itunes. It shows a + sign next to song as it is added, but I can not find it in itunes then.
    Any body have this problem?
    Any suggestions on how to remedy?
    Much Thanks!!!

    I followed the instructions for transfering a library
    from Windows to a Mac and so far it's gone fine. Now
    I'm trying to get the songs to show up in iTunes with
    no success. I dragged the library from the iPod to
    the music folder under documents, on the mac. It's
    still not showing up in iTunes. I tried importing
    these songs from that location and it brings up the
    error message: "The file "Itunes Library.itl" cannot
    be imported because it does not appear to be a valid
    exported file" Any help would be greatly, greatly
    appreciated. If you need any clarity because I know
    it's jumbled, just let me know.

    I tried the suggestions of other users to import from an external drive with the same result as you. I resolved this by instead selecting add to library and then browsing to the itunes folder on the external drive. It then copied all the contents to iTunes on the Mac.

  • Songs not showing up in device music folder, but showing up in playlists

    Hi everybody, total newbie here. Appreciate any help or advice.
    I just tried to import an audio CD to iTunes and it says it has completed importing, but it doesn't show up in my iTunes music library. I tested by trying to play an mp3 file with iTunes, but it doesn't seem to work.
    Furthermore, when I connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, I can't see any of my 2000 or so songs. However when I click on my playlists, I can see the music there. Also, when I disconnect my iPhone, my music and playlists on the iPhone are still intact.
    I noticed that the last time I was able to import music was January 26, a couple of days before the 10.1.2 upgrade. Do you think this has anything to do with it?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Songs not showing up in iPod...

    Hello, I was hoping I could get some help here.
    I dowlnoaded 3 new songs to itunes (from a folder on my computer; I used File>Add Folder to Library) but for some reason they do not show up on my ipod. The songs are in mp3 format, so I do not think I need to convert them. Usually, syncing the ipod in itunes helps, but the little bar that is supposed to show up on top when your ipod is syncing...doesn't.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    bywybabs,
    I don't know what kind of computer you have. If you have a Window's PC it's possible it added the files to your folder "Music" "iTunes" "iTunes Music". If you are able to view the files in your "Music Folder" and they are not in your iTunes Library when you open iTunes. Then find the songs in your "Music" folder and double left click on each song. It should automatically import them into iTunes. I'm not sure why add folder to library did not work.

  • Songs not showing up in Media Player

    I copied song files (mp3) from my computer to the BB Curve 8330 using the Roxio Media Manager.  The song files show up on the phone through the Media Manager, but when I launch the Media Player on the phone, several bands/albums do not show up in the list of available music.  Anyone know why this might be happening?  Thanks!

  • Songs not showing up in each category

    I've just purchased my first iPod and I'm having some difficulties when I update the ipod with new music. I've filled out all of the information about the song (artist, album, genre, etc...) but for example, if I go to a particular artist all of their songs do not show up in that category. I've double checked each song on iTunes and the information about the song is correct... Help!
      Windows XP  

    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, 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) it is missing an album name.
    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. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should 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 which may be why this happens.
    Also if tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

  • Songs are syncing to phone but some songs not showing in the playlist, you have to manually search for them...

    Hi guys,
    All music is syncing across from my purchased items to my phone... However, some are missing from the 'purchased' playlist and I can only come across them when scrolling through the 'Artist' or 'Song' menu. I then have to manually add them back to my purchased playlist.
    Is there any way to stop this?
    I want all my 'purchased' songs in that playlist and then have all of my other music from CDs in their individual ones (which works fine).
    This happens for about 5/6 every time and it's a nightmare trying to work out which ones are missing so to speak unless I stumble upon then.
    So basically, the songs ARE on the phone but not showing in the playlist, just to make that clear.
    Many thanks in advance...

    This sounds very similar to an issue that I experienced.  There was a phantom 6G assigned to movies even when no movies were on my iPad.  I could make the phantom 6G come and go by checking/unchecking the "Sync Movies" box in iTunes.
    First, try a system reset.  It probably won't fix your problem but it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    There is one other thing that you can try but I don't want to describe it unless the above doesn't help.
