Songs not showing up in playlist! Help!

I made a new playlist on my computer and it said it had 56 songs on it. I put it on my ipod (all of the songs are the correct format). If i click on the playlist under my ipod icon in my itunes it says 56 songs just like it was supposed to. But if i go to listen to the playlist on my ipod it says there are only 51 songs. Why aren't all the songs showing up???? HELP!!!

Is this a smart playlist? If so, it could be related to the known bug where a playlist's content and sort order don't match iTunes. There is a workaround for that though, just edit the playlist by adding the criteria "Playlist Is Music", where "Music" is the general category in iTunes for music items.
If that's not it, it could be that some of your songs are tagged as "Skip when shuffling", so when your iPod is in shuffle mode they won't show up in the playlist.

  • 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.

  • Three Songs Not Showing Up in Playlist on iPhone4

    I've been playing around trying to figure out this problem for a couple of hours now and am stumped.  I have a newer iMac and iPhone 4.  I have a playlist that is called '2013'.  On my iMac, this playlist has 16 songs.  When I look on my iMac in iTunes in the 'On This iPhone', the playlist has 16 songs, however on the actual iphone, there are only 13 songs.  All of the songs on this playlist were purchased from the iTunes store and the three missing songs show up in the 'Songs' section on the iphone.
    I have unchecked the playlist, synced (thus removing it from the iphone) and then re-added it, but it did not work. I did a soft reset on the phone, still no luck.
    Any ideas? 
    Your help is appreciated, thank you.

    I thought I could be smart and create a new playlist with a new name with just these three songs on it.  The songs still didn't show up- the playlist is blank.
    The three songs are all songs I have purchased (Bit by Bit, Call Me in the Afternoon and Wake Me Up).
    Your help is appreciated.

  • Songs not showing up in playlist when I shuffle it

    Currently I have 1,493 songs on my iPhone. When I shuffle them without adding them to a playlist, only 1,490 display to play. Where did the other 3 go? I have this problem when I shuffle them on the playlist too. Does anyone else experience this? Please help!

    It's an iMovie Library file that you need to search for. By default iMovie Library files are in the Movies folder.

    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).

  • 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?

  • I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play, how do I get it back?

    I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play.  Itunes thinks that last time it was played was the time it "shorted" out and did not play.  How do I get it back?  Thanks.

    Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link
    As your screenshot shows your account id I've asked the hosts to remove it

    So, your iPhone (and new shuffle) still work properly with iTunes, correct? 
    Your 1st gen shuffle... It's the white one with USB plug, that looks like a USB flash drive...?
    Are you able to see it in Windows, and maybe change the drive letter back to E:?

  • 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?

  • 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!
