Songs Not Showing Up In Music - A Bug

So I synced my phone up from iTunes. Songs were missing that I purchased in iTunes and I could not figure out why.
They were checked to sync and they were in the location listed.
So I deleted them from the phone and resynced. They still weren't there.
So I then decide to delete some and redownload them from the cloud... Guess what, they reappeared.
Now, these same songs were missing from my Wifes iPhone as well.
I notice other songs were missing. But for some reason, I decided to do a search for them using the search feature. Turns out, the songs are there on the phone, just not coming up under the Artist listing for some reason.
Has anyone seen this and do you know how to fix it?

I purchased a track, it appears on my iphone 5s okay but isn't anywhere on my itunes. there isn't anything in Purchsed under iStore.
I had my iphone plugged in when I purchsed the track, so should have been on both iphone and itunes, much like purchasing an app.
Any ideas?
have IOS 7.1 loaded, is this a known issue (to us not apple)?

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.

I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it. These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

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!

HT1351 My ipod Classic is not showing all the music from iCloud.

My ipod Classic is not showing all the music from iCloud. I have "show music" enabled.

Glad 7.7.1 worked for you, I updated itunes on my macbook, and every time i try to sync the music to my ipod classic, it goes for 23 songs and then it freezes and I get "Cannot read or write to this disk", and it ejects it. I tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling an earlier version (7.6.2) same problem, plus a new issue with itunes. (It was a clean uninstall, btw, I got everything cleaned out, I think, lol). Video's transfer fine. And no good way to get ahold of apple. That's great. If I have no music on my ipod, it's useless. Think they'll give me my money back? (lol)

I installed the update but the "radio" option is not showing up in Music. Anyone else had this issue?

It is only available in the U.S right now. Are you in the U.S.?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

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?

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!

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 on my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 on iOS 5.0.1?

I have about one third of my music library not showing up on my iPhone 4 and iPad 1, even though it is ticked and everything, on iTunes it says that it should have been synced...
For example, I have 'only sync ticked songs and videos to my iPhone/iPad' enabled in iTunes, and all songs by Katy Perry are ticked, but only about 4 show up? the songs that didnt show up are there if I look for them through albums, but they don't show up under the artist 'Katy Perry'.
Basically, iTunes says the songs are synced, but they aren't on the iDevice.
Also, I don't have match enabled, is it something to do with iCloud taking this music 'off' my iDevice because I didn't download it from the iTunes Store?
Thanks

Hi Steve,
I guess I'm confused. Are you trying to sync with match? or is match off?
If you are trying to sync with match on then go to settings>music> and make sure that the show all music toggle is turned on.
If you are trying to sync with match off and are trying to put files onto your phone without usiing match then uncheck the music tab under your phones information on your computer and then let it sync and take everything off. Then recheck the music box under the music tab and go to your summary page and make sure that the box that says sync only checked music is selected and resync. Sometimes you have to take everything off before you can get it to resync and put stuff back on.
Again, if you talking about what you see with match turned ON, on your ios device then make sure that the toggle for show all music is turned on.
You cannot sync with your computer and itunes match at the same time. You have to do one or the other.
Please let me know if I misunderstood your question or did not answer it properly.

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.
