I recently download a song with my IPOD Touch 4G. The song appears in my iTunes music library but not on my IPOD. I've tried syncing several times, but I cannot get it to transfer to the IPOD. Any suggestions??

Artwork in Itunes music library but not on my Ipod

Only got my Ipod at the weekend so don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I've enabled the option for album artwork and click on get artwork for each album I have transferred into my library. The artwork appears in my library but on my Ipod many of the albums that have the artwork in the library aren't appearing on my Ipod.
Anyone know why this is?

It is possible that you have not selected the option to have your iPod show album artwork. Here is how to check:
Plug your iPod into your computer
Click on you iPod when it appears under DEVICES on the left of the iTunes screen
Your iPod should appear on the screen under a tab named Summary. Click on the tab titled Music
There is a check box on the very bottom of the list on the Music tab called "Display album artwork on your iPod" If this is not checked, then check it.
Then click Apply in the lower right corner of the screen, then click Sync, also in the lower right of the screen
This should fix the problem and upload the album artwork onto your iPod

ITunes music library will not update on iPod after syncing

I did a computer swipe a number of months ago and was only just recently able to recover my iTunes account. So fortunately I have all my music still (well most of it. Some of my file locations are missing but that is user error).
Now, yesterday I synced my iPod for the first time since the clean sweep. I was annoyed that the process completely cleaned out my iPod (of course it was not backed up because I had no way of syncing it to my account) so I lost everything except the music.
Here's the problem: while I can play iTunes on my laptop, none of the songs are being properly downloaded onto the iPod. All the titles and information show up like they should, but they are greyed out so you cannot select them.
I've tried re-syncing several times and even rebooted my laptop and re-syncing to no avail.
My iPod is literally empty like when I first got it brand new but I can't play my music.
Any ideas? I'm at my last straw.

Is the iPod signed in the iTunes account? (Settings>Store)
Next I would try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and then sync.

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

Itunes library does not load

Itunes library, on local hard drive and in default location, does not load. The preference is pointing to the right place and reset doesn't do anything.
This is what I did last. I had manually copied files directly in to /user/music/itunes/itunes music/ while I tunes was still running. Could this have damaged the library?
Thank you.

It is usually best to let iTunes do the work and use the 'keep' and 'copy' features.
If you move things around from the Finder then iTunes loses its' reference to the tunes. If you do the work from within iTunes and you will have fewer problems.
If the tunes are in the correct locations (/user/music/itunes/itunes music/) then from within iTunes select the 'Add' option from the File menu - select a tune or 2 as a check - are they now in the library? If so the 'add' the rest.

ITunes Music Library.xml not updating when adding new songs

I have about 150.000 music tracks on my iMac and iTunes didnt have any difficulty with it. When using the songs in DJ program Native Instruments Traktor Pro, this program checked the latest update of the iTunes Music Library.xml file and everything went ok. Whenever I changed a smart playlist or added songs, my Traktor looked at the updated .xml file and Traktor updated it's own files.
SUDDENLY, and I dont know why, this iTunes Music Library.xml file did not update anymore. Whenever I change a song or add a song, the 'update date' in my finder next to the iTunes Music Library.xml file stays the same (1 May 2010) This means my DJ software does not show the updated/added songs...
Plse help... what should I do... I am a professional DJ and I especially bought this iMac for the purpose of DJ'ing. Because of this issue, I can't use it anymore...

try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.

ITunes help page does not load

Greetings,
Ever since updating to iTunes 10, the help page does not load. It's blank. If I click the home menu, I can switch to another app's help page just fine, but when I switch back to iTunes, it's blank.
Also, if I enter a search term on the blank help page, it willreturn hits, but when I click on them, I again am left with a blank screen.
BTW, the gear menu is a sticky menu (one click and it stays down) but the home menu I have to hold the mouse down. Not sure if that's normal behavior, but I thought I'd throw that out there too, just in case it's helpful.
Help (with help)!

It happens the same to me. But also when click in the topic link a warning shows up telling me I need internet connection to view that help topic.
Of course I'm online and my connection works pretty well.
I tried rebuild help files with Onyx but no help.
Anyone resolved this issue?

ITunes 7.1 does not recognise 5G iPod

Apple SOS. Just installed iTunes 7.1, iTunes no longer recognizes when I connect my 5G (30GB) iPod using the Apple USB sync cable supplied with the iPod. Both iTunes and my iPod work fine independently, but nothing happens in iTunes when I connect the iPod using the cable. It worked fine 1 week ago, but now since the installation of iTunes 7.1, nothing !
I have tried several times, using both of the USB ports on my 17' G4 Powerbook (10.4.8) As a result I cannot charge or sync my iPod, so it is now pretty much useless.
Apple needs to rectify this situation asap, but in the meantime I would like to hear from anyone else that has some problem. Is there any solution to this?
Thx

Hi,
Thx for the response. I was aware of these procedures, but they do not help.
I had already tried the first 3 steps before I posted my support SOS, and my OS is right up-to-date.
At the beginning of the procedure I it says to make sure the iPod is fully charge, however this is impossible because nothing happens when it is connected to my Powerbook with the USB sync cable. iTunes or OSX do not recognise it, so it will not charge or sync, and the battery is almost dead now.
Everything worked fine until I installed iTunes 7.1, so there must be a bug in this update. Note, iTunes 7.2 works ok independently of the iPod, and works
fine in standalone opeation.
Q: What difference does it make if re-install iTunes 7.1 ? Surely the problem is related to this version itself !?
Also, what will happend to my iTunes music Library if I remove the iTunes application in order to re-install it?
Thx.

Home Sharing - Itunes library does not load and jumps to Music

Hi, I have 2 itunes libraries on 2 different computers on the same network using the same apple id. One of the computers is an IMAC and the other is windows.
On the windows computer when I click on the shared library (from the IMAC) the library appears from the IMAC. When I am on the IMAC and click on the shared library (from the windows computer) it looks like it is searching then jumps the "music" library, that displays the current library on the IMAC.
Can someone help....Thank You

Hi Jim,
If you are having an issue with Home Sharing between your two computers, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Several of the steps you have already done, but if you start with step 5 it will help you.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

ITunes 10.5 does not load shared library files

Since today's update to iTunes 10.5 from 10.4.1. iTunes can no longer access the shared music library I have on my iomega NAS disk. It sees the disk and lists it as a shared library, but when I click on the library it goes into an endless loading cycle. In the past it might take a minute or so to load the library, but since the update, iTunes never actually does load it.
There is no error message, not even an operation time-out. I can't see anything rrelevant in the console. It just goes on for ever trying to load the shared library.
It was loading the shsred library just fine until this evening when the update downloaded.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem with a Buffalo Linkstation LS-WTGL/R1-V3 NAS and iTunes 10.5 on both Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Windows XP.
It's not quite an endless loop, though. It takes about 20 seconds, then the song listing flashes briefly on the screen but goes immediately to the local Music listing in the Library. If I right-click on the NAS's entry and choose "Open in a New Window", the window opens, shows the barber pole throbber for about 20 seconds, then closes, again going back to the local Music listing.
There's about 117GB in the iTunes Music folder on the NAS.
This worked fine under iTunes 10.4.x.

HT1349 I have registered with my local library and can download books. But these are not being shown in ITunes, the Library does not show 'audiobooks'. I have an ipod 6G. can anyone help please?

I have recently purchased (from the States) an ipod nano 6th generation. I belong to a local library and can download books from the audiobooks online section. Problem is, my iPod when synced to iTunes, does not show Library as a category and audiobooks. For some reason, it is allowing me to download the books to my iPod, but I am unable to delete them from the iPod, and also, it is giving an echo (I think somehow it is downloading twice which is giving an echo effect). Not sure what is going on, but if anyone can advise me on this I would be very grateful.

Hello mrsbonniesue
If you have an issue with the audiobook showing up in music, check to see if those tracks are labeled as audio books or music. The article below will explained as well as I have highlighted the main portion for changing that information.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook

Itunes music library is not showing all my music

I have a random problem with iTunes and I hope someone can help.
I have just under 1500 tracks on my macbook, all stored in the iTunes library folder where they should be. However, when I open iTunes, it says it cannot find the original file for loads of my music (there is a little '!' symbol on the left hand side).
I get the option to search for the original file and I just go to the iTunes library folder and there it is, along with all my other music that iTunes can see!
This is a random problem as when I open iTunes, its not always the same tracks it cant find, its always different ones.
It affects about 20% of my music each time.
Can anyone help?
Cheers, Jus

try this:
quit iTunes. move the following file to the desktop: <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/library/preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
fire up iTunes (which will create a new .plist file). if it works now you can trash the plist file you moved to the desktop.
if still no joy, here are some useful tools:
_*iTunes Track CPR v1.3*_
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."
and
_*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

Why do my previous purchases show in my iTunes music library but not accessible??, Why do my previous purchases show in my iTunes music library but not accessible??

I received my new Macbook Pro today and have attempted to sync my iphone 4s with it, unfortunately like a bit of a moron I've ended up wiping all my music on my iphone.
I have then gone into Itunes and re-downloaded all my previous purchases (music tracks). They have all appeared in my music library but all but 4 are greyed out, will not play and will not allow me to do anything with them!
Can anyone help me, help the Mac newby sort his life out! I'd be lost without them and more to the point would have lost a fortune in music I'd paid for if I couldn't get them back!!
Cheers,
Chris
