Where is complete library (non-purchased songs) in new iTunes software

I faithfully upgrade to new versions of iTunes. But now that I'm trying to move a CD of songs I ripped, I see that the "Library" is no longer viewable. I ripped hundreds of CDs I owned. Where are they?

Thank you, but my menu under File -- Library does not show the ripped songs from my own CDs. The choices are to export the library, import album artwork etc. 
I am quite literally looking for the songs. The top choice in iTunes used to say "Library" and it contained all my songs (over 4,000) The only ones that display now are iTunes purchases (around 2,000). I've already checked through preferences too, and haven't found a solution there.

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?

    Unless you're able to restore them from the hard drive, you'll need to either do so from a backup or reload them from the original source.

  • How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match?

    How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match? iTunes is automatically syncing songs I purchased years ago to my iPhone without me asking it to. I have not and am not going to pay for Match. I want to get of of these songs for good. I do not care about removing them from my history which is impossible, I just want to delete songs so they are not in my library and do not sync to my phone since I never wanted them there.

    Hey Dodge50,
    Great question! You can choose to sync your entire library, or selected playlists and other items. For more information, check out this resource:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1386
    You can also opt to manually manage the content that is on your device. For more information about this option, see the following:

  • ITunes all of a sudden won't sync non-purchased songs

    Title says it all, other day updated to 7.0.3.  Sync wouldn't update the 3 new cd's I had added and furthermore, those artists that the cd's belonged to wouldn't play.  Meaning any previous song by those artists on my phone also wouldn't play.
    7.0.4 fixed nothing infact it just straight up removed all my non-purchased songs off my phone.  iTunes claims there's 1,000 songs on my iPhone but only the 200ish I've purchased show up.  If I go to "on this phone" it shows nearly every song with a grey circle next to it.
    This is ridiculous.

    Forgot to add also, all the purchased songs on my phone have the cloud/download button so technically they aren't even there either.  Would have to go through and download all of those as well.
    iTunes keeps just randomly changing how much space is available.  It goes from what it should be (2.5ish GB) down to 8 GB free, all of a sudden will jump to only 500 MB free.  Dunno if that is screwing with the Sync, phone things it has no room to add the songs.

  • Is there a way to PERMANENTLY DELETE purchased songs from your iTunes/iTunes account

    Hi
    I have 11 purchased songs in my iTunes library. Since iOS7 i have not been able to remove these songs from my 3rd party music player.
    I would like to permanently remove these songs from my iTunes account, my iTunes, my iPhone. I don't want to see these songs appear on any of my devices ever again.
    Is there a way to remove these purchases permanently so they are no longer available/associated with my account?
    Please! Any help is appreciated, this is seriously annoying.

    Turning off iCloud will not accomplish anything, unless you simply wish to sign out your AppleID for itunes adn app store. Then of course, you would not be able to purchase apps or other content.
    Any itunes or App store purchases can be set to hidden, as ckuan instructs. These would not show up on your device. But no, there is not way to completely delete content purchases.
    You can offer Apple feedback here, if you wish: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Recently I have not been able to purchase songs from my iTunes on my iPhone 5, but I can purchase apps with no issues.  Has anyone else had similar problems??

    Recently I have not been able to purchase songs from my iTunes on my phone, but can purchase apps with no issue.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    If this is an Alienware system, the most likely culprit is the Bigfoot Networks LSP as per the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Head to the Downloads and Drivers page at Dell for your particular model of Alienware. Look for available updates for your BigFoot networking device. If you update those drivers, does that give you back your Store access?

  • When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).
