Why can't I get my iTunes library to sync all tunes and not just purchased tunes

I have itunes on my pc, macbookair, and iphone .  I'm able to sync however the libraries are not the same.  iphone and pc 342 tunes, macbook air shows only those purchased from itunes and not those added years ago by uploading CDs.  All settings seem to be OK - share all, sync all, all devices authorized etc.  Any suggestions?

Hey Vikifromab!

    Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes on my Imac to my Apple tv3? I only got the option for music and photo`s. I want internet radio to show too

    Internet radio is not part of your iTunes library. There is a separate section on the ATV for radio if you wish to use or you can use airplay via iTunes.

    Hi Niel.  Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy?   1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library?  2 - How do you organize the library?  3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs?  Thanks

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases?

    I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. I originally started using iTunes on my PC so it has everything I have ever purchased or uploaded from my own collection of music.
    How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases? Do they do it at the Apple Store or at Best Buy? help!

  • Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

    A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
    Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

    Joe01880,
    And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:

  • My iphone 4s ios 7.0.2 had songs.I had put the songs through itunes. Now when i wanted to put more songs in my iphone through itunes, i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs are in my iphone now. But in my iphone it shows no songs.why

    I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

  • CAN I ENLARGE THE SIZE OF ALL TRACKS AND NOT JUST THE ONE TRACK AT A TIME

    I would like to enlarge the tracks on the top half of the mix screen and not just the one track I'm working on. I find that most times I'm working in 2 or 3 tracks only and it would be great if I could enlarge the size of those to work with rather than the thin tracks they appear as. I realize if I click on one that it will appear larger below to edit but can I have all the tracks recorded appear larger?

  • Why can't I access my itunes library on an external drive?

    Hi -- I successfully moved my itunes library to an external drive a few months ago, and all was going well - I added content to it several times. For some reason now I can't access it, and when I tried to burn a CD into itunes, it created a new library that is on my hard drive. I have done the thing where I go into preferences and select the external drive as the library, but I still can't get to the external drive.
    This is particularly urgent because I have a 2-week old baby and I am trying to burn one of those awful "soothing sounds" CDs so I can play it on my ipod while he is sleeping. Thank you!

    If the iTunes Library.itl file is also on the external drive, try launching iTunes while holding down the Shift key, and when the dialog window opens that allows you to create a new library or open an existing one, choose to open an existing one, navigate to the folder that contains that library file and select it.
    If that works, note for the future that if you launch iTunes when that external drive isn't mounted, iTunes will default back to the normal location on the internal drive and you'll have to repeat the Shift-launch process.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't   i access my itunes library from anywhere?

    Why can't I access all of my iTunes library when I am of at home connected to wifi.. The whole reason I bought iTunes Match was do I could access my entire library from anywhere?

    On iTunes using your computer have you completed the iTunes Match 3-step process?
    If so, within Song view you can enable a field called iCloud status - sorting Songs on this field will show what is available from the cloud.
    It sounds like all you need to do is to enable mobile internet on your iPhone to allow access over 3G as well as WiFi.

  • Why can't I import to itunes library?

    Hi everyone
    So I was trying to add some my itunes library and it looked like it was doing the right work but afterwards the tracks aren't there. It seemed to go through the whole import process including analysing gapless playback but then got stuck when trying to find the album artwork. Eventually I had to force quit each time.
    After trying it about 10 times I have run out of things to try. I haven't imported anything since updating to itunes 10.4 (and now 10.4.1) and now I can't import anything at all. I can make a new playlist by dragging files from the desktop into a new playlist but even these don't appear in the library.
    I am not exactly an itunes newbie so I am fairly sure I am not doing anything too stupid.
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    Any ideas gratefully received

  • Why can't I move my iTunes library and run iTunes from an external hard drive?

    I've been having issues with space on my Macbook pro, so I wish to move my music in order to free up more space. I have been following the instructions on how to run iTunes from an external drive, but each time I attempt it only the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder copies to my drive - which has nothing in it.
    What is going on?

    Which exact set of instructions?  Just about all of them are wrong, even the ones that specifically say how to move your library.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 

  • Why can't I get my itunes Home Sharing to work

    Ok, So here is the deal. My iTunes is the most current version 11.0.2. I'm trying to use the Apple Remote apple and the itunes library on my laptop will apear, but my desktop wont. I looked into a problem that had occured to me before with my laptop and foud that it isn't the firewall situation with Bonjour. My desktop wont Home Share, even though it says its on. I realized this because, the share tab wont even apear in my library on my Desktop. My desktop library will not appear in the shared libraries on my laptop. This means that its a problem with my iTunes on the Desktop. I attempted unistalling and reinstalling iTunes in on my Desktop and still my Home Sharing will not work properly. I need help determining the problem and fixing it.

    I am afraid, the HP 5610 (which is in your profile) uses LIDIL (Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language).
    LIDIL is designed to lower the cost of the printer hardware and shift all the processing normally done on the printer onto the host computer, and hence, it requires a direct USB connection, it will not work directly over the network.
    The only way to share the HP 5610 is to connect it directly to a host computer and use the printer sharing function within the OS.
