Where do my songs go?

ITunes won't pick up my IPod, so they told me to reinstall ITunes and my IPod, is there any way that I can keep my music if I do this?

hi Mandy!
How do I get my songs back into Itunes from the folder after I reinstall?
they should appear there in you itunes library window automatically. post back if they don't.

How can it that half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs from the same CD (ripped by Itunes) are not matched but uploaded?

I started with ITunes Match a few days ago (I have the latest versions of all OS's etc)
- The whole process took more then two days to complete for the first time.
- Half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs most of the time from the same CD (most ripped by ITunes) are not matched but uploaded(?)
- Complete CD's are not recognized, they are however available in the ITunes store (songs in my library not available in ITunes are an exception).
- The match part overall is less then 50%, which is a complete disappointment.....
- When I activate ITunes Match on my IPod, IPhone and IPad the art-work does not load or only partly.
- Loading songs on iOS is extremely slow... and that is definitely not due to my internal network.
- ICloud (ITunes Match) on the apple TV stops working after every 15 seconds because it losses connection to the ITunes server....
I am a real Apple fan for the last decade but what a disappointment is this......before I started with ITunes Match everything worked seamlessly.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

New computer where are my songs?

I have a new computer but when l sign into itunes my songs are not there?? Where are my song?

They are wherever you put them.
Did you copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one?

Where is my song? It says I bought it but I can't see it

I bought a song (Airplanes by B.o.b feat. Hayley Williams), and it wasn't in my purchases list so I thought I'd go buy it again, But when I click the buy button it says I already have that song and I still can't see it. the money was taken from my account, but where is my song?

I had the same issue for awhile and I gave up on it. I just recently got up and decided to do something about it, googled it and saw you guys had the same issue. So it gave me motivation to figure it out again. Eventually I figured it out. Hopefully the same steps work for you guys. Not sure what fixed it because I tried two things before I went back to Itunes to reattempt.
My goal was to try to delete cookies. Being new to Mac. I didnt know what i was doing. I ended up erasing my safari history before I figure it out. The second thing I did was go to Safari, Click on Safari (top right) and hit "Reset Safari..." Gave me a few options here. I selected "Clear History, Reset Top Sites, Remove all website data, Clear the downloads window. I went back to Itunes and my first attempt to redownload a song pop up a notification that I had a preorder available to download.
I hope this helps you guys like it did me.

Where is the song I purchased on my Ipod Touch?

I downloaded a song on my iPod Touch, but it isn't showing up anywhere. I saw that it had downloaded because it showed 1 item was downloaded in the more tab. But I didn't listen to it right away, went to a game, then shut off the iPod. When I turned it back on & went to go play the new song, it isn't showing up. The price of the song was deleted from my iTunes card. This happenend within the last hour. Can I download it again for free? Or can you tell me where to find the song???

It should be under one of the categories in the Music app. You have to pay again to download them again. However, if you can't find it you can "Report a Problem" by clicking on that link either in the email receipt or at the bottom of your purchase history in your iTunes account.

Where are my songs?

Where on my Windows XP computer's hard drive does itunes hide my music? I want to find it to use with a computer game (on the Sims 2 you can use your own music and place in in a special file, then the game will use your music for the "Sims'" 'radio'...)
HELP!

Use the instructions in this article to locate the song; if a song has been purchased from the iTunes Store, it may not work in The Sims.

Where's the song info on iTunes?

Hi!
Where's the "show info" button when you right-click on a song??? It would always say who the artist, composer etc. were...
Thanks!

I mean on iTunes Store...

After purchasing a song, where does the song go?!

After purchasing songs on my iphone through itunes they used to go to my purchased songs in the ipod app. I updated my iphone and now after I purchase a song, I cannot find it and it is definitely not in my "purchased" songs. Anyone have any suggestions as to where they could be??

Go to iTunes on your computer and click on "Check For Available Downloads..." under the Store drop down menu on the menu bar. If the song(s) won't download, check your purchase history on your iTunes Store Account to see if it was indeed purchased.
As for the iPhone, try a reset (holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons until the iPhone restarts showing the apple logo screen). Ignore the red power slider.

Where does the song metadata reside (cover art work and other information)?

I edit the metadata for each album/song - add cover art, correct any album name or artists erros, make some notes to myself to help search/browse. Where does this data reside - with the song file or the library file or somewhere else? BTW I don't download the cover artwork from iTunes. I just find it online and copy and paste it into the metadata window. I have too many obscure albums to rely on iTunes.
The reason I ask is because I double backup my music and iTunes files. Normally, when I rip new albums I just add the new files and updated library files to me backup hard drives, by sorting by the modified date. But I'm now going back and editing all of my oder albums/songs metadata as I just described. In order to make sure this information gets backed up I'm simply backing up the entire iTunes Music folder, which takes all night cause it's around 500GBs. But I'd prefer to only add the modified files to the backup, which usually only takes a few moments.
When I sort by modified date the albums/songs I edited metadata for do not show up as modified that day. So, is it pointless to always backup the entire folder when all I have to do is back up what was modified? And if so, what are those files?
Also, is there a good app that will compare two hard drives and keep them in synch? So that I can basically do what I want to do automagically? Set one as the master and one as the backup, and ahve the app always synch the backup to the master. That would be nice!

If you're not downloading artwork from iTunes, all of the tags and artwork are stored with the individual song files. Some iTunes-specific data, like play count and rating, are stored in the iTunes Library database file.

Where is the song I just downloaded from iTunes

Hi There,
I'm new to Mac and iTunes. I just went to iTunes store on my Mac Book Pro and bought song.
But I can't find it under my music.
Please help me. Where do I go to see the song?
Thanks

On my Mac, on the left side of the main iTunes window, the second group of playlists is marked "Store" and third on that list is one named "Purchased" and within it are all the songs I've ever downloaded from the iTunes Store on this machine over several years - many freebies along with the few that I paid for.

Where Did the Song/Album Suggestions Feature Go?

what happened to the feature on the iTunes Store homepage that was in beta a few months ago that would suggest albums or songs based on your previous purchase history or library contents? my computer recently crashed so i had to upload all of my backed up music into my new iTunes library, but i assumed the feature would still be available. can someone tell me how to activate that, or did they get rid of it?

If you go to the bottom of the store page, below where you can set your store country, you will see:
Turn Just for you on/off.
At least that's the case in the UK store.
Is that want you mean, or show/hide ministore from the view menu?

Can't deauthorize old comp. where are my songs!!!!!

I got a new comp. and can't deauthorize my old one. all my songs are in the old one and the new iTunes won't let me transfer my songs to the new computer. I get an error when trying to deauthorize the old one... Error 44134. CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: 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. The transfer of content from other 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
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
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 to a computer
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'd my songs go? How do I find them?

I have 9200 Audio Files in iTunes. When I plugged my new 60gb iPod in it only loaded 9199 songs onto it, in the iTunes ipod window it says 9199, all are checked for loading to the iPod...
Now the really weird part - the iPod itself says it only has 9195 songs on it (from the about menu on the iPod).
So where'd my 1 to 5 songs go? How do I find them? I have searched for hours now and I can't identify even which songs are missing...
Thanks in advance!
Dave

See if this helps...
