Where did my music go?  I uploaded my library consisting of Apple store purchases, CDS's and Amazon purchases.  A small precentage shows up in itunes now

Where did my music go?  I subscribed to aPPLE'S Cloud and uploaded a nice sized library consisting of Apple Store purchases, CD's I downloaded over a period of years, and some MP3 trax purchased from Amazon.  Now, only a few of my songs appear in iTunes.  There is no help that I can find not requiring the time and effort of a PhD candidate to research.  I'm looking for a quick answer -- is the Apple Cloud a fraud and I should get out of it, or am I a dummie because there is a quick and easy fix?

I can't find mine either.  I had around 800 songs and now i have six!

  • I have iPod Touch and husband has iPad3.  Apple store synced both together and now on iTunes, iPod shows "other" usage way over.  I hardly have anything on my iPod (no books, music, etc.).  Do we have to unsync?

    I have iPod Touch & husband has iPad3.  Apple Store synced both together and now on iTunes my capacity shows "other" (yellow line) way over what I really have.  Only have 1.75GB apps - no music, videos, etc.   I'm afraid since we synced both devices, my iPod has taken on the iPad capacity.   Does this make sense to anyone?   If I don't get a solution from this website, guess I'll have to go back to the Apple Store and try to straighten this out.   HELP!!   Thx, Lee

  • My itouch is gone, 2g, so no locator.  Can it be tracked by checking to see if apps or music have been downloaded on it through the apple store or itunes?

    My itouch is gone. 2g, so no locator.  Can it be tracked by checking to see if apps or music have been downloaded on it through the apple store or itunes? Does Apple know what specific device is downloading an app, etc. or by IP address?

    Apple will not help you track/find your Pod or report anything special to you. If you get an email saying that something was purchased with your iTunes account then that indicates someone is using your account.  You should report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Wow . . .  where did all music go?

    i am trying to transfer my songs from my iPod onto a registered new laptop. i managed to transfer some of my old library by home network onto this new laptop, but not all of it transferred.
    i tried following the instructions provided for tarnsferring music to a new computer but here's the gut-wrenchingly frustrating and convoluted trouble i am having: when i open my iPod from My Computer 1) there is no icon for iTunes. there is one for Music so i figured that was good enough. but, only a fraction of what is actually ON my iPod is in this folder. nonetheless, i transferred it anyway to My Music folder on my harddrive.
    then i opened iTunes. i now have only songs i purchased from iTunes from the last month, and not - oh - 98% of my other music. where did it go? i can still see much of my music in My Music folder on my hard drive, but it doesn't show up in iTunes.
    why is it so (multiple expletives) difficult to add music from my iPod into a pre-existing music folder on my laptop? if the computer is registered, why can't i see all my music in iTunes from any registered computer i own? what is the point of resgistering otherwise?
    please help. thank you

    ah, this is cute. now that i dragged and dropped my other music into the iTunes library interface, and it has begun copying and coverting files (which i had already done quite some time ago), i no longer see music that i have purchased in the last two weeks on this very computer.
    all i want is to have the music on my iPod put onto my computer, added to the music i have purchased on this computer.
    why is this so difficult?

  • Where did my music library go?

    When I synced my phone on my computer a few days ago it downloaded a new album I had purchased on itunes butttt that ended up being the only thing in my music library now....wth? So I did not turn on the icloud on my phone so it should not be backing up to that...so where is my music? Please help

       If it's just your library that's gone, do you still have your iTunes music folder?
       If so OK, open finder, go to music, click on your iTunes music folder and highlight then in iTunes go to the top and click (add folder to library) and you should see your library start filling up!

  • Where did the music go???

  • Where did my music go.

    My computer crashed. I replaced the hadrdrive. I logged back into iTunes and behold all my music listings were there, however, there is an exclamation point prior to each song. And when I go to play the song a dialog box says it cannot play the song because it cant find the original song. iTunes summary says I have 922.62MB stored. Where is the music? How can I get the music from my IPod to the computer...........

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Where did my music/videos go?

    I have just experienced a weird issue with my iTouch (2nd gen 16gb)...I just read about the Sync issue with Microsoft (makes me mad that even after 3 months there are still no fixes to this, and it's not like it's unknown issue)...that aside.
    I don't know what I should do...the other day I uploaded my new cds and digital copies that I got for Xmas to my touch and let it charge overnight. Yesterday while headed down on a trip I went to listen to all my music when I noticed I have no music on my ipod (except for the 46 free songs from iTunes), no videos...but all my pics and apps are there. Ok, weird. Then I went and looked at my "About" to see what it says is actually on my ipod...it says of the 14.5gb available on my touch, only 1.4gb was free (really....46 free songs and maybe 20 apps take up 13gb...) so not happy. Then I plugged my ipod in tonight to see maybe if there was a glitch...when I plugged it in my iTunes showed it as having 1.5gb free but it showed all my music and videos (and pics and apps) on there. As soon as I unplug it though, it's not on there...so what's the deal?
    And what do I do without having to go re-dl these songs, or find someone with cds to borrow?

    My About screen reads like:
    Songs: 46
    Videos: 0
    Photos: 15
    Applications: 34
    Capacity: 14.5gb
    Available: 1.4gb
    Version: 3.1.2 (7D11)
    So I do not see an other...and I have not purchased albums from iTunes at this point (or at least in a very long time) they have all been free music, CDs I own (that are packed away due to moving a lot) or from friends
    I'm just confused how after uploading two purchased CDs from Christmas (Glee music) and The Hangover digital copy everything would erase. I have my iTunes settings to manually manage my music

  • Where did my pics go ??? Transferred pics from memory card to Mac Pro and lost pics on memory card and unable to find on Mac

    where did my pics go. Transferred 40-50- pic from camera memory card to Mac via  slot; lost pics on memory card and unable to find anywhere in Mac. May have gone to Open Office as Data . Is that possible and if so can I get pics back or if not so ,where could they be????

    First place to check is in the iPhoto library. If the images were imported there then they will be visible in the previews created.
    The physical location of image files in iPhoto is quite buried in folders within folders. So, if you want to copy them then select all of the ones needed from the previews and copy from iPhoto to a new location, preferably a new folder in the Pictures folder.
    The other app that might have transferred the files is Image Capture. It would download files from cards or cameras. Launch this app and look in the preferences to see the default location of transferred files.

  • Archive and Install or... where did my music go?

    Ok, so I had to total brain malfunction and did a Archive and Install when I did the last OS update. So now my user account is gone and hiding inside the "previous system" folder. I'd really like to retrieve iTunes albums, music, movies, playlists, iphone data, etc. Is it possible?
    Thanks!!

    Yes - just copy them to where you want them...though I can't figure out why they would be in the previous system folder and not in the new one.
