When in iTunes can you "Add to Library" when new folders have been added but not in your library collection

or will they make duplicates of what is already there? If so, what is the best way to update the library?

I'm not sure I understand your question. If a file already exists and you add a second copy of it, it will add it again and you'll have a duplicate. It has no way of knowing that one copy of the file is identical to the other. If you add the same file twice it may notice it as the same as one that is already there and ask you about it first.

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer: File>Transfer Purchases.

So recenlty I went to my Itunes library and realized a number of my playlists have been deleted but not all of them. I never deleted them myself just one day they weren't there? How do I recover these?

Do you have a backup you could restore them from?

How can you add cds on the new i-tunes

Like a idiot I uploaded the new i-tunes softwear. Its ******* **** and now cant add any new cds to my libary of 3500 cds. You cant create new folders to name after the artist or add the new cd to the folder. I dont use use i-tunes downloads as will only buy physical albums. Can you down load the old i-tunes softwear.

In preferences advanced there are 2 options
Preference
Explanation
iTunes Media folder location
To change where songs and other files you import into iTunes are located, click Change.
To change back to the original location for files (Home/Music/iTunes), click Reset.
Keep iTunes Media folder organized
Automatically put imported music into folders for album and artist.
Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library
Copy an item to the iTunes Media folder when you drag the item to the iTunes window or choose File > “Add to Library.”
If you want items to appear in iTunes but also remain in their original location, deselect this checkbox. For example, you can keep music imported from CDs on your computer’s hard disc, and save your video files on an external hard disc.
Pressing the Option key while dragging temporarily reverses the current checkbox setting.

HT3529 How can you recover text messages in iphone that have been deleted?

How can you recover text messages that have been deleted from an iphone?

If the phone was backed up either to iCloud or iTunes on your computer BEFORE the texts were deleted, restoring the backup will restore the texts to your phone. If they were not backed up, they're gone permanently.

Why does time machine back up when no new files have been added?

I run time machine manually and even after having just back up, it says it is backing up 50mb of something. Nothing has been added or taken away. It just keeps adding and using up disk space.

System files are constantly changing, TM backs the whole machine up not just the files you are working on,
And 55mb is small change

HT5085 I purchased the Veronica Mars movie and it shows in my purchases but I can not download the movie. When I look at downloads it says all previously purchased items have been downloaded but the movie doesn't show in my library and it won't download

I purchased the movie Veronica Mars. It shows in my purchases but it does not show in my library. When I check for downloads available it says that I have downloaded all purchases in my account but this one is not there. So frustrated with this whole system.

Does it show via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes for downloading ?

How can I change the names of catagories that have been added to my music library? Is it possible to change names or artists or gendre and how to do it?

How do I change the names of artists or gendre in the itunes list after importing an album? Is it posssible to change that information?

Yes. Select one or more tracks (use ctrl or shift clicks to add/remove or extend a selection) then right-click or press CTRL-I to Get Info. Use the different tabs of the dialog to make changes.
For general advice on getting things neat & tidy see my article on Grouping tracks into albums.

If you remove a backup from Time Machine, can you add it later?

if you remove a backup from Time Machine, can you add it back later? I have two backup sets active, but only one is connecting to a drive at the moment. It seems to be pausing TM for the inactive one, which is as I would expect, except that the menu icon for TM shows an exclamation point (= "waiting to backup"). I'd rather have that error / pause sign show if the ACTIVE connected drive is experiencing issues. It has zero diagnostic function as currently set up.
The solution would be to remove the backup drive from the TM list and then add it back later. I am just unsure if I can do this (will TM recognize the alternate backup set again if I re-add it?)
tx

Yes, you can re-add it.

Can you find if spyware or bugging software has been installed?

can you find if spyware or bugging software has been installed?

Not possible to install any software except from AppStore, unless
the iPhone is jailbroken. Is your iPhone jailbroken or has it been out
of your possession for a few hours so some else could have
jailbroken it?
Restore as new - not from backup.

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer
