Edited tags of purchased songs/albums are not showing up on my iPhone 5s

Greetings.
I am quite anal about the way I tag my digital music library. After downloading a song from iTunes or ripping a CD, I use Mp3tag to edit the tags. I keep things extremely simple: title, artist, album, artwork, track number, genre, and sometimes a comment. After editing in Mp3tag, I then open said purchase/rip in Foobar and further edit the tags through Properties, deleting total tracks, album sort, purchase date, and a bunch of other superfluous iTunes metadata. I then add to my iTunes library, transfer to my iPhone 5s, and everything is in it's right place.
Yesterday I made quite a few purchases directly from my iPhone, transferred my purchases to my iTunes library when I got home, moved the folders to my preferred location on my hard drive, edited per the aforementioned process, imported to iTunes, and transferred back to my iPhone.
While my tagging efforts are showing up the way I would like in iTunes (and my old Touch running iOS 6), they are not being reflected on my iPhone's music player.
Allow me to illustrate. I am compiling Radiohead singles and EPs. I purchased the Fake Plastic Trees EP as well as the single. I then combined the tracks into one folder and tagged them as one album "Fake Plastic Trees." This is reflected in my iTunes library. However, on my iPhone's music player, it is showing up as two separate albums "Fake Plastic Trees - EP" and "Fake Plastic Trees - Single." The track titles, track numbers, and artwork show up correctly, but it is splitting them up into individual album purchases and not reflecting the album name I gave. Another example: I purchased "The Daily Mail / Staircase - Single" and retagged it as "The Daily Mail / Staircase." It shows up fine in my iTunes library but not on my iPhone's music player. I have other instances of being able to sort my music by composers on my iPhone even though I do not include this information in the tags and composer information is not reflected in my iTunes library.
Anal? Perhaps. But I would greatly appreciate some Delphic wisdom to help alleviate the OCD meltdown I'm about to have.
Thank you kindly in advance.

Isn't iTunes 10.5 r 9 a beta release for developers? If that's the case then isn't there a special web site for developers to discuss issues (and they are not supposed to discuss them on the public forum)? If you're not a developer and have this through unofficial channels then I'm not sure you can expect full functionality.

Defective Song Tracks Since iTunes 10.5 (also, recently purchased songs/albums are not showing up in purchased area for redownload purposes)

Last night I purchased the new Coldplay album from the iTunes store on my PC (as opposed to the iPad or iPhone). 2 of the 14 song files are defective (my bad ones are tracks 2 and 3). Those two play music for about the first 20 or 30 seconds of the track and then skip immediately to the next track. I had the same problem last week with two other albums I purchased from the iTunes store (also on my PC like last night). In those cases, I simply went to the "Purchased" quick link area and found everything I had just purchased. I deleted the defective files and then redownloaded them without a hitch. The replaced files now play fine.
However, the Coldplay album does not show up in my "Purchased" section (not last night or this morning when I rechecked). I am unable to redownload the defective files. I am doubly disturbed by this. For one, I have never had defective music downloads up until iTunes 10.5 and now I've had them on the three albums I've downloaded since. Two, now the "redownload music from the iCloud" function is not working for the most recent purchases. Perhaps this is true of all music purchased from iTunes over the past few days for everybody? Most people are probably mentioning Coldplay here on the boards because it's the hot new album. Note that this apparently is not affecting iOS apps, because my recent (within 24 hours) apps do show up in the purchased area.
It's very frustrating, because I want to sync this new Coldplay album with my iPhone so I can listen to it and I hate to have to transfer an incomplete album to it. My OCD-like nature gets to me sometimes. Part of me wants to just repurchase the two defective song files and hope that Apple won't charge me twice.

LOL!!! I had checked iTunes before writing this and the music was not there. I check after writing and now it has shown up. It took iTunes about 12 hours to do it though.
Last week, the music I purchased showed up immediately.
I guess iTunes is just not working as effeciently as it did last week. Could still be a bug or maybe just swamped servers? However, the problem that is most annoying to me right now is that all the music I have downloaded since iTunes 10.5 has contained defective tracks that needed to be redownloaded. I do not recall that ever occuring before.

I have the 2nd Gen iPad and imported my photos from my computer to my iPad awhile back. Now I'd like to sync it to new MacBook Pro and my albums are not showing up? Anyone know how to fix this?

Ipod songs ratings are not showing in Itunes (manually managed)

Hello,
Ipod songs ratings are not showing in Itunes, however I can see the ratings in my iPod Touch 4 (that is manually managed). I have an iPod 3 an it works. Why?
I don't want to sync anything, I'm looking the songs that are in the iPod through iTunes and the rating information is missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks & Regards
SU

Hi SU
Hope this helps.
When I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my PC - under library there is a Music folder and under iPod there is a Music folder. Which music folder isn't showing the track rating?
If the Library Music folder isn't showing ratings then see A) Updating Ratings in Library Music
If the iPod Music folder isn't showing ratings then see B) Seeing Ratings in iPod Music
I have 20000 tracks in iTunes and 5000 tracks on my iPod which I am rating as a listen to them. 1000 have ratings 4000 have none.
A) Updating Ratings in Library Music
This is on a PC. When you manually manage music on your iPod the ratings you assign on your iPod aren't automatically synced to iTunes but it is easy to do it manually and only takes a few minutes.
1) in iTunes on a PC click Music under iPOD, sort your tracks by the Rating column and select 5 star tracks.
2) Click File > New Playlist From Selection and call it 5 STAR. This creates a new playlist on your iPod.
3) Right click the 5 STAR playlist and click Export. I save the playlist export file to my Desktop.
4) Click File > Library > Import Playlist > navigate to the location you exported the playlist to (in my case Desktop), select 5 STAR and import. You may get a warning saying some tracks don't exist, you get this if you change track info in your iTunes library, it'll omit these tracks from the playlist your creating. 5 STAR playlist will appear under iTunes Playlists.
5) Select 5 STAR under iTunes Playlists and you will see your 5 star tracks from your iPod but the Rating will be blank. Select all tracks, right click, select Rating and then *****. All the tracks will now be rated 5 star.
6) Right click iTunes Playlist 5 STAR and select Delete, this won't delete your tracks.
7) Right click iPOD Playlist 5 STAR and select Delete, this won't delete your tracks.
8) You can repeat this process with your 4 star stracks then 3 star, etc.
9) an optional step. Once I've rated my tracks I delete them from my iPod.
I do this process every few weeks when I've got a reasonable batch of tracks to update ratings in iTunes.
B) Seeing Ratings in iPod Music
In iTunes iPod Music my tracks are sorted by rating and I mistakenly thought the rating column is blank. I clicked on the Name column to resort and saw some of the tracks had ratings. I then noticed that when I clicked on iPod music it didn't display tracks from the top of the list (my 5 star tracks) which I expected but half way down (0 star tracks) which is why I thought there was a problem. So now when I look at my iPod music in iTunes I scroll up the list to check they are showing ratings before doing A) above.

HT201272 i reset my iphone, is there any way to get ringtones back that i purchased. They are not showing up under my ringtones section anymore. thanks, kelly

I reset my iphone 4s, is there any way to get ringtones back that I purchased? They are not showing up under my available ringtones anymore

They are linked to your account, but they are also tied to the country that they were bought in - you won't be able to potentially redownload them unless you move back to the US and have a US billing address on your account (you have to be in a country to use its store, including redownloading past purchases).
Have you not got a backup copy of all of your downloads/library that you can copy them back from ? Even if you hadn't moved countries any item could be removed from the store at any time by the rights-holders (you are only guaranteed one download of any item), you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy.

I have "Explicit" song tags in iTunes, but they (the tags, not the songs) are not showing up on my iPhone.

Hi,
I recently found a way to add the "EXPLICIT" tag to songs in my iTunes Library (using Subler), and just presumed that the tags were not showing up in my iPhone Music because the phone simply did not have the function to display them.
However, after updating to iOS 7, and seeing every song I have ever purchased, I noticed that the iPhone can indeed show whether songs are explicit or not (by marking them with a letter 'E').
Therefore I am just wondering why I can see whether songs are explicit on my Mac, yet not on my iPhone. I have tried removing the songs from my iTunes Library, syncing to remove them from my phone, re-adding them to my Library, and then re-syncing to put them back onto my phone, and the explicit tag still does not show up.
Please can you help me resolve this.
Thanks

If you are syncing your contacts from your PC with iCloud, they are not transferred to your phone using iTunes. They are synced to your phone using iCloud, either over wifi or your cellular data network.
First go to icloud.com with your computer browser, sign into your account and open Contacts there to confirm that your contacts appear. If they do, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contact on. Assuming your phone is either connected to wifi or your cellular data network, the contacts should then download from iCloud to your phone.

iphone 5s - ios 7

If you buy them as a Ringtone, then Itunes should automatically put them in Tones. It is a huge hassle and takes time most of us don't have to waste, when we purchased them as Tones and Apple told me they would automatically show up in Tones if purchased from Itunes Store. NOT! And we shouldn't have to google to find the answer. They should make that clear on Itunes store. Very disappoiinted in the Itunes upgrades that have caused so many problems.

Songs I have purchased on iTunes are not showing up in my Purchased playlist but are in my iTunes library

This has only been happening since updating my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.2 software and it has duplicated a new purchased playlist on my iTunes library. I have tried syncing the iPhone to my computer but still no luck they are not showing up in my purchased playlist.
In saying that, some songs I purchase do show up in the playlist but others don't or only half of an album shows even though I have downloaded the whole thing. It is driving me crazy!! Has anyone else got this problem and what did they do to sort it?
Thanks!

Hi samfergs,
I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
Cheers,
GB

My imported CD albums are not showing in itunes

My music cds that were imported into iTunes are not showing in the music library

Hi apeyton,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to find the music you imported to your computer. Is it possible that you have more than one iTunes library? Can you perform a general search for the song on your PC? The article below explains how to determine where the iTunes Music Library resides on your system and how to change the location if necessary.
Where are my iTunes files located?

My smart playlists are not showing up on my iPhone after turning on Music Match

I have turned on Music Match (iOS 5 GM and iTunes 10.5 r 9) and can see all the songs in my library now across the cloud. The iPhone also has copied over most (but strangely not all) of my regular playlists and my folder structure.
But all the Smart Playlists I created for my iPhone are not showing up so my music is not grouped the way I want it to be.
For example, I have a playlist that selects out all the songs with three stars or more that have not been played in the last 2 weeks (so I only hear songs I like, but have not heard lately).
So what's up??

Isn't iTunes 10.5 r 9 a beta release for developers? If that's the case then isn't there a special web site for developers to discuss issues (and they are not supposed to discuss them on the public forum)? If you're not a developer and have this through unofficial channels then I'm not sure you can expect full functionality.

Does anyone know how i can get the songs to download as currently it wont let me!!
I have put a screen shot, if this helps?
If anyone has had this problem and can help, thank you!

Hi, edcf.
I have experienced the exact same issue this week for a Pre-order album as well. I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged. This article will walk you though the process.
iTunes Store: About Pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
Check your purchase history and you method of payment to make sure that the item has not been deducted prior to processing these steps.

If the album has been charged, follow the steps in this article to report a problem with this purchase.

New purchases in itunes are not showing up in the songs list only in new purchases

I have the latest version of Itunes and my last purchases do not show up in the songs view of my library, only in the purchased songlist. This has never happened before, so I'm guessing something is wrong with this new version. Anybody else having this problem?

Apple are not here just us users.
Some people have reported that logging out ot the itunes store and logging in clears things
Other people who use itunes Match have reported Store > Update iTunes Match works
I agree it seems to be a bug but to let apple know about it you need to use the feedback in itunes

I-Pod Touch. I-Tunes has six purchased songs that do not show up on my I-Pod when I sync the two.

I have six out of 83 purchased songs in I-Tunes that did not sync to my I-Pod Touch. 32 GB. Why not?

Open itunes, connect ipod, click File>Transfer Purchases
Make sure your computer is authorized for the account from which the songs were purchased.

All my contacts on iCloud are not showing up on my iPhone. Any ideas?

At first I had a list of contacts from iCloud and a list from MobileMe. I now have those merged... but the merged list isn't showing up on my iPhone. Does anyone have insights about what is occurring and how to fix it?
