The music I am importing is not showing up in iTunes

I have tried to import a couple of different cds. They seem to import fine, until I go looking for them in the iTunes library. I can't find the music anywhere, not even in the recently added. I don't have iTunes Match or anything like that, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. Also, when I find it in my folders (not iTunes), the songs are their, but they won't play in iTunes either.
What can I do to fix this?

So, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and that seemed to work, all my songs are there and playable!

  • 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.

  • HT3951 I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)

    Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
    I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

  • Imported songs not showing up in iTunes

    Just imported a CD. They are not in my iTunes library, but the files are there in the directory on the back end. I even watched iCloud upload them, but the tracks are not showing up in iTunes even when searching for them. Any ideas?!?!?

    I have this same problem. Import songs from CD or from a MP3 Folder or if I add a movie, nothing shows up in itunes.
    If I do a search of the media folder in iTunes I can see it there. Even My Apple TV can see the uploads and play them.
    This all seems to have started after the latest update to Lion.
    I have downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled it but it made no difference.
    iTunes is importing ok it's just not displaying the newly imported items :-(

  • Moved music to new laptop but not showing up in iTunes....

    Hi. I used the instructions for "How to move your your music to a new computer" and it seemed to go smoothly. It appears my music library is on my new computer (Music folder, etc) but is not showing up when I open iTunes (unless my iPod is connected too). I am nut sure if I have missed a step or done something wrong. Any ideas?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Quit iTunes. Hold down the shift key and load iTunes again. At the prompt "Choose Library" and navigate to and select your iTunes Library directory.
    iTunes will then default to use that library from then on.
    regards

    Double check the version of iTunes on your computer. You must have iTunes 11.1 or later.

  • The content purchased on iPad is not showing on Mac iTunes

    I bought one season of a tv show on my ipad last night, and I went to watch it on my Mac and it is not showing in my iTunes account.

    Of course it always works, what are you talking about.

  • The CD I downloaded and the music I bought yesterday is not showing up on my IPOD?

    The CD I downloaded and the music I bought is not syncing to my IPOD???????

    Is the iPod and iTunes set up to set up to automatically sync new songs? 
    First, select the iPod in iTunes to show its Summary screen.  There is a checkbox there for Manually manage music [and videos].  Is that checked or not checked?
    If it is checked, I'll describe how to add new songs manually.   If it is not checked, I'll explain how to update your automatic syncing settings.

  • Imported CD not showing up in iTunes

    I have tried importing this CD as Apple Lossless, .mp3, etc and it doesn't ever show up in iTunes. I found the music with the finder but when I drag it to iTunes, no go. I right click and say open with iTunes, nope. I go through iTunes and use Add to Library, it still isn't showing up. No error message is displayed, it just simply doesn't add it to the library.

    This is how I solved the issue. I have iTunes 11.0.1 and it would import CDs, show them in the search but not actually be in the library.
    Navigate to Applications folder and hold Option + Double Click on iTunes. A window will pop up asking you to Create a Library or to Choose Library. After clicking Choose Library navigate to Music>iTunes and hit Open. This was basically a refresh for my library and everything showed up.
    Hope that helps. Also, fix your product Apple.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

  • I downloaded an ap on my phone, but it does not show up in iTunes

    i downloaded a game on the phone from the ap store, but it does not show up in iTunes...how do i fix that?

    It might not be compatible with the iPad or the iOS version you're running on your iPad (you can check the app store to find out).  You also have to have the same Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores and have Apps turn to On under Automatic Downloads.

  • Podcast Channel Not Showing Up In iTunes

    I submitted my podcast to iTunes 3 days ago and I can manually subscribe to the podcast channel but it is not showing up in iTunes itself.
    Here is the feed:
    http://www.frontlinechurch.tv/podcast/frontline-podcast.xml

    The feed is fine and the image is correctly embedded in the episode I checked (the latest one); it appears when subscribing in iTunes.
    As I don't have an iPhone or an iPod Touch I can't check its behaviour there, and I don't know how these devices are supposed to handle this.
    However there are two points about the image which might be an issue, though I don't know: its size is 691 x 691 - it should be 600 x 600: this isn't a problem in iTunes, but as I say I don't know whether it might affect an iPhone. Also the resolution is 180ppi - this is pretty academic on a computer, but normally it would be 72 ppi. You could try changing one of the images - of course you would have to re-upload the media file - and see whether it helps.
    If it doesn't your best bet would be to ask in the iPhone Forum where someone would be able to check this for you.
    One further point: your episodes are missing the 'itunes:duration' tag which should contain the duration as h:mm:ss - this doesn't prevent the episode from playing correctly, but the durations won't show in the Store or in subscribing (until the episode is fully downloaded).
