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!

CD's not purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on Apple TV! How can I fix this?

You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

Phone will save ringtones/pictures but not show them in the media folder.

As my subject said, my phone will save pictures and ringtones, however will not show them in the media folder, but if I got through the long way, through the "files" icon in applications all of the new ringtones and pictures are there. So any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hello TyRamos and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Remove your battery followed by your media card.
Reinsert your battery first and allow the device to complete the reboot. Once done, insert your media card. You should get a pop saying media card is inserted.
Go to your Media folder and check for your photos and ringtones.
Let me know how you make out
Thanks

Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder

Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder. For example one of the three CD's form a triple album do not show in Finder. And therefore they do not get saved when I back up my Mac either. Any ideas?

Consolidate ("organize") simply looks at everything you have in iTunes and copies them to the iTunes media folder location specified in iTunes prefs -> Advanced. If you select to use the default settings iTunes will copy any files in its library in the correct location in the media folder. Since you don't want the files in a different locaiton really but just want to deal with some stragglers don't do the full "move" in hte instructions below but make sure they are organized.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
The files will be copied so you will need to find the originals abd once you are content the library is working you can get rid of them (I often archive them on an external drive, delete the originals, then play the files which is a sure test if you have a workable copy on the computer).

How can i delete songs from both the itunes and hard drive at the same time?

A Espinoza,
The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities. So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.

Added albums to iTunes, but they do not show up in the Music Library view.

I imported some albums and the albums do not show up in the Music Library view, however I created a playlist containing all songs added today and they show right up. Is there a fix for this?

They don't show up at all or they don't show up where you expect them to?
The iTunes Library is divided into a number of sources, Music, Podcasts, Books etc. Each file added ends up in just one of these sources depending on its *Media Kind* plus any playlists for which it has matching criteria.
Settings such as *Part of a Compilation, Sort Artist* or *Sort Album Artist* can make albums appear in an unexpected location within Music.

ITunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library.

Our PC running Vista froze up so we upgraded to Windows 7. iTunes does not show any of the music we have in f:\iTunes library. How do I access my music?

Use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the folder(s) where the music is.

The volume controls will not show up in the music app or the lock screen music controls. What do I do?

imap mail sent from my iphone or ipad does not show up in the sent folder on my desktop

Hi Bob,
I'm using Mac Mail 4.5
I have set up my mail preferences to include a "From"
Web mail includes the appropriate "from" header information.
Interestingly, when I send emails from this account on other machines it's ok.
(ipad2,iPhone 3s,powermac)
It just seems to be the MacBook Pro that is presenting this error.
As an aside, my ISP host recently upgraded from Pop to Imap.

HT1725 What if I download music from my friends computer with his account and there's a song that shows up in my music library but I can't play it because it didn't finish downloading. What can I do to finish downloading it ?

You're right, it would have been covered under warranty. But because of the user damage, chances are there's a 200-something dollar fee . If you explain to them that it had a defect previously, they might replace it for you at no charge. **MIGHT**. But they would have to believe that it had a defect previously.

I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that. Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.

Files showing up in iTunes Music folder, but not in iTunes

I just transferred a bunch of music into my iTunes Music folder on a new laptop, but it's not showing up in iTunes. If I open each file manually, it'll show up fine, but I've got enough music that it would take forever. Is there a quick way to fix this? (I'm running Vista, in case that's relevant.)
Thanks!

File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to the music folder. It will scan the folder and all subfolders, and anything that is not already in the library will be added.
