What happened to my entire library in iTunes 11?

New iTunes 11 shows about half of what I own.  I looked in the itunes folder to find everything exists, but not showing up in the interface when I click on library.  Also, I tried to creat a playlist and it wants to download everything from the cloud???  Increadibly long process when you are doing a few thousand songs.  This new iTunes *****!
HELP!!!!!

To stop seeing all icloud content then Preferences, Store and Uncheck Show iYunes in the Cloud Purchases
As for content not being visible, if you are signed into iTunes Match then switch it off. If your Music still does not show up but is still on your hard drive then re add it to your library

  • HT5624 What happened to all my library? I don't have an Iphone only an Ipod. But only my recent purchases show up on my computer. How do I get them back?

    What happened to my entire 3000+ songs in my library I used to see when I opened iTunes? I only see the most recently purchased. How do I get them back? I don't have an I phone to play they on, only a droid.

    Hi Sarah,
    It sounds like the songs have either not yet synced over to the iPhone, or something went wrong when attempting to sync to the iPhone. My recommendation is to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox.
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

    What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

    "Switch to Songs view.  Everything will be much clearer"
    I have no use for Songs view.  I always use Albums view (personal preference  - I think of my library as a collection of albums, not of songs), but never had any problem at all with the use of the top-left icons in iTunes 12.  Indeed, I much prefer the iTunes 12 version of the sidebar - ironically, for the reason that some seem to object to it: it doesn't clutter up a standardized listing of my library content with device-related information, and does not change if I connect an iDevice.  In general, the only interaction I need at the device level is the Eject function - all content syncing is controlled through playlists associated with each device I use (which, of course, are visible and can be modified whether a device is connected or not).  I only need to see the details of a device on the rare occasions I want to make a change to its behavior with respect to synchronization.

  • What happened to my tv artwork in iTunes?

    So can anyone explain what happened to my tv artwork in iTunes? It's not only the artwork that is messed up, but there are now multiple copies of each tv show in my iTunes, all the shortcuts in them work as well. Album artwork seems to have crossed over to tv artwork also. Music artwork is completely unaffected despite crossover in the other direction. It just began once when I opened iTunes, everything was suddenly wonky. Here are some screenshots so you get a better idea.
    Anybody have any idea?
    Thank you. Also help.

    For those of you who were unable to resolve this issue by signing out of the iTunes Store and then signing back in: I was able to fix my problem by restoring from a Time Machine backup of my iTunes library file. Here's what I did:
    Uncheck the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" checkbox in your iTunes preferences (Store tab)
    Quit out of iTunes
    Copy your Time Machine backups of iTunes Library, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, and iTunes Library Genius.itdb over the current versions of those files in your iTunes directory (for most people, this will be Music/iTunes in your home folder)
    Disable your internet connection by disabling your wireless or unplugging your ethernet cord. This is necessary in order to prevent iTunes from syncing with iCloud upon launch (for whatever reason this just caused the problem to reoccur after syncing).
    Launch iTunes. Your library should be back to normal (minus your Cloud purchases of course).
    Re-enable your internet connection and check the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" checkbox.
    The Cloud purchases should sync properly now.
    Keep in mind that anything you downloaded from iTunes since your backup will show up as only existing in the cloud.

  • What happens if I reset cache on iTunes?

  • How to view entire library in iTunes 7.

    Folks,
    Anybody know how to view the entire library in iTunes 7? I want to see everything I have in iTunes without regard to categorization, (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Radio).
    Thanks in advance.

    Mimico Kid,
    Thanks for the idea. I tried using a Smart Playlist approach to your idea and found that it works too. Just define your Smart Playlist with something all-inclusive -- I used "Year", "is less than", "2010". (I'm hoping Apple will have fixed this problem by then...)
    The resulting Smart Playlist includes Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Audiobooks all together the way they should be inside of a Library. It leaves out Games (I didn't try Radio), and it should update itself automatically. I named mine AAA so that it will always be at the top of the Playlists.
    This is still not the way that iT7 should be working on its own, but maybe it is a little easier than having to drag lots of files by hand and update a static playlist. :-|

  • What happened to the power search in itunes?

    What happened to the power search in itunes?

    Why? Indeed, is a very good question. Why take the most useful tool for finding music and bury it (in the case of version 10) or eliminate it (if you upgrade to version 11).   I think ignorance is too generous an answer to this question.
    Rather, I believe this is a cynical marketing ploy to steer you into buying WHAT THEY SUGGEST, instead of WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.  Most vendors would be content to just advertise their suggestions, which you can pass by if you really know what you want. But for I-Tunes to willfully take away your ability to go directly to what you want is a sad insult to the buying public.
    Also, they probably feel that power search is too effective in revealing what I-Tunes DOESN'T have available.
    By all means, follow the advice given above - provide I-Tunes with the feedback that is sorely due.

    What happened to all the Library and application support folders in Yosemite? How can I access them?

    1. They’re still there, but hidden.
    2. Open your home folder, choose Show View Options from the Finder’s View menu, and check the box to show the library.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 9.2 - lost entire library from iTunes

    I upgraded to iTunes 9.2 today and it seemed to work fine. I synced my iPhone and played some music etc. Turned my computer off later and back on - reopened itunes to fine my entire library missing including all my playlists etc.
    It looks like a blank install, even though in preferences it is still pointed at the folder where all my iTunes content is.
    How do I fix this without starting from scratch?

    Are you running Windows as your computer information line suggests? If so I'll asked to be moved from the Mac iTunes forum to Windows iTunes.
    Are your files missing, or is it just they don't show in iTunes? On a Mac you can hold down the option key (no idea what this would be on a PC) while starting iTunes to tell iTunes to let you guide it to a library.

  • HT2905 What happened to the "Display Duplicates" in iTunes 11?

    Just updated to iTunes 11 and thought I'd do a little cleaning up.  But I can't find the File > Display Duplicates or better yet, the File > Display Exact Duplicates.  Is it gone?  Or is there now a different (hopefullly better!) way to get rid of duplicates in iTunes 11? 

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning tobackup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice tobackup applies.

  • What happened to the AIFF conversion in iTunes?

    We have always converted mp3 files after getting a song from iTunes to AIFF files in order to use them in Final Cut.  Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File".  Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file".  What happened to AIFF conversion?  If I convert to AAC, when I go to import the song to Final Cut, it is greyed out and won;t let me selevt AAC songs.  What happened?  Is this a change in the new OS "Upgrade?

    Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File".  Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file".
    That suggests that your Importing preferences are currently set to AAC rather than AIFF.
    If you adjust your importing preferences, do you get "Create AIFF version" back?

  • What Happens If I Click Restore In iTunes?

    Hi,
    I just ran the 2.0 update on my iPod Touch. A few things are messed up, so I'd like to wipe my iPod Touch and re-sync everything again from scratch. What I don't want to do is restore it from a backup.
    What I'd like to know is, what exactly does the Restore button in iTunes do? Will it wipe off my 2.0 update? Will iTunes keep trying to restore my iPod Touch from its backup?

    I solved the problem. No need to reply.

  • What happened to my iPhoto library it just disappeared?

    I went to import photos off my camera into my iPhoto and before I did I noticed that all my other photos were gone. No they are not in the trash. iPhoto prompted for an upgrade and I clicked upgrade and the results ended in my entire library gone. Help please.

    By being gone do you mean the library is not in your Pictures folder or when you open the library you don't see any photos or thumbnails?  If it's the latter apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
