Updating Itunes, not syncing my content

Hi, I have my Itunes on an external hard drive and when installing the update it said to delete all previous versions, now the new Itunes doesn't show my library content! It's in folders on the external drive, but not when I click on Itunes! Help please!

If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
next See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first try
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Also try new cable and different USB port.

    If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down .  In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo.  Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

  • ITunes not syncing music

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
    A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
    It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
    This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
    So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Have you authorized your new computer: Store>Authorize this Computer?

  • ITunes not Syncing Lossless files to iPod?

    Itunes not syncing Apple Lossless files to iPod?
    I had a couple FLAC encoded CD's, and i recoded them into Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp.
    These Apple Lossless files load perfectly into iTunes (Playable)
    But no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to put the files onto my iPod. But from what I've seen, my iPod should support these files! (I tagged all the lossless files with a unique Artist name, and told iTunes to only sync that Artist. Even then it wouldn't sync.)
    Ipod Classic 6th gen 120 gb, Software version 2.0.1
    iTunes version 9.0.1.8
    Using Windows 7 RC 64-bit
    How do I get this to work?

    Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
    Any suggestions would be helpfull

  • ITunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists

    I have some smaller iPods that I use on random occasions. When I sync them, I choose the following options:
    Sync Music:
    Selected Playlists, artists, genres
    Music Videos - Not Checked
    Automatically fill free space with songs - Checked
    I have two playlists from which I wish a selection to be made, which exceeds the size of the iPod (they were designed for larger devices synced with this machine). When I attempt to Sync, I get a message saying that the iPod is too small, and would I like iTunes to automatically choose songs to sync. If I click no, the sync is canceled. If I click yes to have a subset of my two playlists automatically choosen, the ipod will sync, but then iTunes clears all of my selected playlists and starts syncing songs from all playlists.
    This seems like a bug in iTunes to me, as it is not performing the requested options. Has anyone else experienced this, or know how to get it fixed? Or to get a bug report sent in to Apple? I have been going all over the place on their support page, and since this isn't an issue with the iPod, but with iTunes, I haven't been able to find a support avenue.

    iTunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists
    You have it selected to *sync selected playlists* and those playlists are not syncing to the iPod?
    however this seems to be very counter-intuitive behavior for iTunes
    It can be kind of confusing.
    I suggest it's not a bug in that it is acting as it's supposed to.
    The option (Fill free space) could be made clearer. Perhaps if they added "with songs at random from the entire library" or somehow added an option to select what the free space will be filled with.)
    1) The fact that iTunes it is not obeying the selected options on the screen
    Not supposed to do that.
    If the playlists all fit and there is free space, what would iTunes use to fill the free space if it only used selected items?
    2) iTunes is allowing users construct an unhonorable set of choices out of four options. If "Selected playlists, artists and genres" is not compatible with "Automatically fill free space," then that option should be grayed out.
    It is compatible.
    If there is free space after your selections are added, what should iTunes use to fill the free space? It shouldn't fill the free space with stuff already on the iPod.

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps 

  • App Updates Will Not Sync From iTunes To iPhone

    I am having an issue with App Updates since I upgraded to iOS8.
    I prefer to update my Apps through iTunes on my iMac & then \sync them over to my iPhone 5s.
    However, I am having issues with this now. After  have downloaded the updates with iTunes I sync them to my iPhone and they show that they are being copied over to my iPhone. However, on my iPhone in the App Store, it shows that the apps did not sync and still need updating. So I have to then download them on my iPhone all over again.
    I have tried restating the phone. deleting the apps and starting again. Nothing works. any ideas?

    Thank you very much, that worked.  I learned something as I never tryied to right click on my phone in Itunes before.
    Thanks again.

  • Iphone song ratings not updating itunes on sync

    Most songs listened on the iphone that I have given a rating to have updated itunes with the star rating. However I have several songs (approx 50) that when I give them a rating wont update the itunes rating.
    any ideas ?

    I have the same problem, the ratings dont update itunes & often some of the ratings on the iphone disapear too (not all though for some reason) along with the strange randown fast forwarding of songs when playing sometimes (I have to turn off the phone & back on to stop it) It really is anoying when you have paid £400 for something.

  • 1st Gen Apple TV not syncing HD content

    Howdy!
    Okay, well, I've got a 1st generation aTV and just bought some 2012-13 HD tv episodes. Right off, I could not sync the episodes to my aTV. ITunes lists the episodes are part of the synced content, however they do not sync, they neither show up on the aTV nor does iTunes show them transferring.
    My approach:
    ..I reset the aTV;
    ..I disconnected the connected account from its host computer (Mac Pro)
    ..I de-authorized the aTV from iTunes
    ..I looked for updates (none available)
    ..Pre-2013 HDCP tv shows play with no problems.
    After some fiddling and trying everything twice, I wondered if the episodes were corrupted. I played them on my computer, and discovered they worked on one of the 3 displays but HDCP warnings came up when I attempted to play them on either of the other two.
    Is this a problem I have to solve by upgrading to a newer aTV? Could I fix it by disconnecting the non-HDCP compliant display(s)?
    Any idea what's going on here?
    Thanks, kind regards.

    first off if they are from itunes and they are HD 1080p the first gen can not play them. It may say it is syncing but you can not play them. Does it say anything about being able to play when you try or just nothing shows up to even try? The new aTV should solve it. As for the display problem it could be they are old but that just does not sound right. I have a HP monitor from say 2003 and it can play fine. The HDCP should come frome your vidio card but still could be the monitor. Good luck

  • ITunes not syncing App layout or folders to iPad (iTunes 10.1/iPad 4.2.1

    I eagerly awaited 4.2.1 to finally put my apps into folders on my iPad. I have nearly 300 apps which are unorganized, many not accessible from the standard iPad screens since they go beyond the 11 app pages.
    I spent a bunch of time making folders and organizing this mess using the brand new iTunes 10.1, iPad 4.2.1 and on my Apply / Sync, ALL of the time customizing was lost -- none of the folders appeared on the Ipad after the sync.
    I tried even moving 1 app from another screen, and it didn't sync over.
    I then made a couple folders on the iPad directly, and when reconnected to iTunes, I see these folders. Any subsequent alterations made on iTunes don't sync over.
    I wonder if this is related to going over my 11th screen limit?
    I dread dealing with all of these using only the iPad. I know it’s a lot of apps, but that's what folders are for!
    Anyone else not getting iTunes to sync folders/app arrangements with iTunes 10.1 and iPad 4.2.1?

    I have this issue as well. I have an iPhone 3G 16GB, just updated to the latest iTunes and 4.2.1 firmware. I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I've spend like 1,5 hours total reorganizing apps, all for nothing.
