Songs on my computer & my ipod are not showing up in itunes
Today, my sister and I both updated our itunes to 11.0.1 (12), the most current version of Itunes available. We have home shared for years, and tonight after my sister imported all of the songs she wanted from my library she was unable to view them in her itunes. The weird part is that when she plugged her ipod in, all of the new songs synced. Also, the number of songs she should have for artists show up when she types an artist name in the search box, but whens she clicks on the artist, not all of the songs show up. For example, she only had the song "Lights" by Ellie Goulding, but she imported 20 from my itunes. When she types "Ellie Goulding" into her itunes search box, Ellie Goulding shows up, and then "21 Items" shows up under it, but when she clicks there, only one song (the one she had before) shows up. She has tried typing in the name of a song that she imported, using home sharing, from my computer, for example "My Blood" and it says, "No Results" but that song is on her ipod. She can play the songs she imported from my itunes by typing in the artist name and clicking "Add to Up Next". Then she can scroll through all of the songs that she imported from a certain artist, but is unable to view in her itunes.
Basically, when she imported a song, it is registering that it is on the computer, but she cannot see it in her iTunes.
She uses an Acer Windows computer, and I have a MacBook.
Is the computer authorized for the account used to purchased the media?

I purchased a bunch of songs on my iPhone but they are not showing up on it my computer.
I purchased a bunch of songs recently on my iPhone but they are not showing up in iTunes on my computer. They have always shown up in the past but these few haven't. I usually do a manual upload and backup of my phone, as opposed to doing it via icloud.
In the meantime, I went to the purchases for my account and see that they are listed there and I hit "report a problem". But it doesn't even ask me what the problem is....
Is there anything else I can do?Go to View->Account and verify you're logged into the same AppleID as the iPhone
Then go to iTunes->Preferences->Store and verify that "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is checked. -

Ipod is not showing up in itunes
my ipod is not showing up in itunes. What's going on?
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts. -

The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer
The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

Then you're doing something wrong. Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
Did you check the purchase history?
