Where my songs are and aren't?

Load mp3's to iTunes in PC laptop. I'm not sure where to put the mp3 when it's downloaded from Amazon, I have a choice to OPEN or SAVE, so I always choose save and mp3 defaults to DOWNLOAD document. Then I choose OPEN WITH iTunes and the song goes to iTunes (but not the physical song, just the title?) as mp3 stays in DOWNLOAD
But do I just keep it there or can I transfer it to MY MUSIC doc?
Sorry, it's just confusing a little as I am used to putting all mp3s into My Music when I was using Acoustica burner.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
So I am just even more confused now.

I just got a new pc and tried to move my library from the one pc to another using my ipod. When I did so, I lost about 20 songs recently downloaded. I don't know where the songs are....they were songs that I downloaded using the ipod????

I just tried to transfer my itunes from my old pc to new one. I have music that is downloaded to all three devices...new, old and itouch. I used the itouch to transfer the music, but now the music I downloaded with the itouch wifi disappeared. Help!!!!

Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

HT1725 I downloaded 4 songs from my computer from I Tunes. Now I cannot get the songs to my device. My device keeps saying "downloading". I have clicked on the songs in my computer (where the songs are downloaded already)

Even when I choose add to device on my pc, nothing happens.

First confirm there is not a problem with the headphones
Then
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Sort Music-- Artist-- Albums-- All Songs where all songs are alpha order

I have quite a lot of songs on my iPod classic. For example I have 253 Beatles songs alone. When I go to Music-->artist-->songs they are all organized by Album. When I'm driving or even just sitting still this method of organization is just extremely inconvenient. I feel like it can't be that difficult to make it sort "all songs" by alphabetical order. Let me know if it is and if I'm just missing it...

The layout cannot be customised.

Can I make a playlist where the songs are only able to play in the playlist

I would like to create a playlist and add tracks to it (its the Focal Setup Disc) such that the songs would only play in my playlist not in my general music queue. Is this possible? Thanks!

No.

Itunes can't find all my songs. how to tell iTunes where they all are

i had to re-install a new hard drive and i downloaded and installed iTunes. i have all my iTunes songs on another drive. i saved the itunes library file and now when i open iTunes it shows all my albums and songs but when i try to play them they won't play. if i double click on a song i can tell iTunes where the song is and it will play but i don't want to have to do that to every track. how can i tell iTunes where all my songs are? i tried to Add Folder to the library but it only gets so far and says that it doesn't have the room for all the songs or something like that. i don't want all that media on the c drive anyway. how can i get this to work? thanks

replying to aissy55
It comes up with a 1428 error message sometimes, and sometimes it says that I have to restore my iPod. I have restored it many times, but it just keeps going in a circle and will not sync my songs back to the iPod.
hmmmm. if you're relentlessly getting a recovery mode message, then you might be having a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions with that:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

The songs are all list in US $ and not UK GBP

how can I change the access from my iTuens install so that when I open the Store, i get the UK store (in pounds)
All I get now is the US Store where all songs are priced in Dollars and many attempts to find UK bands fail to find a result

Call library function not finding DLL in directory where my LLBs are

I am using LabVIEW 8.6. I have a set of VIs in several LLBs. All the LLBs are in one directory. Most of my VIs are wrappers for the functions in one DLL. I was told to put my DLL in the directory where the LLBs are, and supposedly this is how the previous programmer worked (using an earlier version of LabView).
In the Call Library configuration, I have specified <dllname>.dll without a path. (This is how we want it as our VIs are an API which other programmers will integrate, so I don't know where they will put things and I can't use any absolute paths).
When I load the VIs in LabVIEW, LabVIEW can't find the DLL and asks me to located it. It is right there in the directory with the LLBs and when I double click on it everything works fine. However my absolute path to the DLL now appears in the Call library configuration, and we don't want that.
Does anyone know how to make this work? I would assume that the location of the VIs (or LLBs, in this case) would be the current directory and thus Windows would look there for the DLL. However, it seems that this is not the case (at least, in the current version of LabVIEW).
Thank you.

Well somebody using your library should not have to dig into your VIs and do all this on his own. Instead your library should wrap that and hide the troubles of this entirely.
That is EXACTLY what I want to do.
The error cluster was added when the dynamic path option was added. It is not useful to hide that error output so it is always there. Together with the dynamic path there was improved error handling added to the CLN. One of them is that the level of error checking during the function call (exception handling) can be specified. I would assume that some of those options can generate an error code instead of popping up a dialog as they did before and for that the error code output can be useful even in the static call case.
As to what you want to do, I would long ago
I would long ago have done a lot of things differently on this project -- but no one asked me then :-) (Good thing it wasn't me, or maybe I'd have taken offense ;-) )
have handled that with a wrapper DLL that has basically the same functions as your other DLLs and some initiliasation function that returns a pointer to a function dispatch structure based on the actual DLL you want to call.
OK, I am getting the feeling that this will be a brilliant and elegant solution when I fully understand it. I understand what a wrapper DLL is. But do you mean that each version of my product would include a different wrapper DLL (with the same name so that CLN would always work), or the same one and it would somehow be told which actual DLL I want to call? Who would decide which DLL, the VI or the wrapper DLL?
By a function dispatch structure do you mean a table of function pointers gotten by GetProcAddress, one such entry for each function?
Quite like what an object oriented function dispatch table is. Then when initilising your interface you call that initialise function and specify the interface/device type you want to use and after that all the other functions take one additional function dispatch pointer parameter as first parameter in addition to the parameters the actual function has. This function dispatch pointer would be just a pointer to a structure containing the table of function pointers for that interface and for the sake of LabVIEW would be simply a pointer sized integer.
The wrapper function then verifies the function dispatch structure pointer for validity and calls the actual function with the remaining parameters.
I think I understand what the wrapper functions need to do. But I am missing some pieces for the initialize function. It would have to do LoadLibrary and lots of GetProcAddresses -- that much I get. But I still don't understand who decides which DLL. Maybe you mean that the wrapper DLL's initialize function will get the DLL name and path from the registry, load it, try a different path if the load fails, etc. Is that what you mean? That could work very nicely. But from where would it get the registry key? From the VI? This is the part that would clearly be different for each product. I suppose that you had something in mind when you described your solution.
This is some C programming
Great! That's what I do for a living. At least I know how to do that! Hey, I should have thought of this idea!
and might require some planning and desigining of the different interfaces to facilitate this kind of dispatch technique but it will for sure pay of in the long run, and make your library even usable in earlier LabVIEW versions, as well as VB etc. without tricky dynamic loading in the high level programming environment.
Ah, see how much I don't know in LabVIEW? I didn't know this was a new feature...
Thank you for the great idea.

My itunes songs are in itunes, but not listed as Purchased or listed in the cloud

I did a clean install to Windows 8, so downloaded itunes. I backed up my itunes library, so I launched and pointed itunes to that library.
All my music is available, no issues.
However, I have a Purchased smartplaylist (That apple created) that used to have all 100+ songs that I have purchased on itunes listed. Now it only listed about 10 songs. The songs are in my library, but not in that playlist. Also, when I go to the store to show what songs are and are not on this particular computer, it only lists those 10 or so songs total, not the entire history of my purchases.
Thoughts here??

File > Add to library and select /Music/iTunes/ folder.

I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list, why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone, so their music is basically lost in space....help

It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
being cluttered up with single artists entries who
might have only one song listed.
I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

ITunes Match is having errors d/l songs to my iPhone 4s. Then I can't delete them, and it says some songs are playing when they aren't. I've restored my iPhone, same issue.

According to this article Using iPhone on an airplane you should be able to listen to music with Airplay Mode enabled.
Make sure you have Music switched on in Settings > Store or your music won't download via Wi-Fi.

Part of my Itunes library is saved in icloud and these songs are on my Ipod. Other songs in my library that aren't saved in Icloud are not on my Ipod. How do I fix this?

Itunes seems to be unable to locate original file to play songs. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from file. Preferences/advance file location is correct. Some files are playing and others aren't with no obvious pattern.

Itunes is unable to locate original file when attempting to play music. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from there. Preferences/Advanced file location pointer is correct. Some songs play but most don't. I did move files around a bit in an attempt to share music with another account on same computor, however this did not work so have returned file to original location. Please help, I am way outside my feild in this one. Ta.

I have solved the problem. i think when I moved the media file back out of public to my account, I put it back into the wrong place and ended up with a media file inside a media file, inside another media file!! So I moved it again and fixed!! Now I just need to work out why i can't share with another account user of same computor.

Deleted playlists from my iphone 6, but songs are still there and are on my pc. Where are my playlists?

After adding itunes match, some of my playlists are disappearing from my iphone 6. The songs are still in the phone, and the playlist is still on my PC. Why are they being deleted?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
