I've been deleting the info in the "Sort..." fields, but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted.  How do I stop it from doing that?

I've been deleting information I don't want in the "Sort..." fields (like getting rid of "Deluxe Edition" markers, etc.), but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted.  This only happens for a few artists, and it's the same artists every time this happens.  How do I stop it from doing that?  It makes it measurably harder for me to control the organization of my library.

Hi donfrommars,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Please use the following article for information and instruction on deleting the U2 album from your devices and account.
Remove iTunes gift album "Songs of Innocence" from your iTunes music library and purchases
Have a great day,

  • When I add an event to my calender, it also adds two alerts. How can I stop it from doing that?

    EVery time I add an event, it places two alerts on the event. How can I keep it from doing this?

    Hmmmm....But even when I do that, the two playlists go into the general music file and mix together. So I don't understand the point of a playlist if it all just gets thrown into the general mix. Seems like if you create a playlist, it should be separate--otherwise, what's the point? Or maybe I'm missing the point. Sigh...

  • Why does the cursor keep going to the address bar and how can i stop it from doing that?

    For some reason after one of your updates, the cursor on the browser always goes to the address bar. It deletes the address and wants me to type in a search term. I have gone through the necessary changes that your support page suggested to turn that feature off, but it still does it.
    It is seriously irritating and inconvenient. How do I stop it from doing that. I am very close to not using Foxfire anymore as my default Browser. Please let me know how to fix this problem.

    For me at least, it's not a mouse setting.
    It started after an update a couple of months back and nothing I can do will change it. Tried running in safe mode, it does it, tried a reset, still does it. uninstalled, reinstalled, does it now too.
    It's infuriating!

  • HT1567 When I plug my ipod into my computer I no longer am able to go to itunes and my ipod will not play the songs i recently downloaded.  My ipod has a white screen. At one point i got a message that it was corupted.

    My ipod has a white screen.
    This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen.  What iPod model do you have?
    When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?

    Where and when did this message appear?

    I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

    Hey Mlynch13,
    Thanks for the question, and amazing troubleshooting so far. There are a few things we can attempt on your computer, including restarting the Apple Mobile Device Support, and checking for the USB drivers:

  • I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica client but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?
    When I installed firefox, it asked if I wanted to use safari settings and I said yes but I think this might be causing the problem. Safari is no longer compatible with citrix ica client. When I reinstalled firefox it automatically installs the safari info. Does anyone know how to re-install firfox without installing safari info?

    Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
    doubt there's an issue there.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
    I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
    they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
    OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
    a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
    didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
    These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
    (and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
    Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
    I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
    Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
    Thanks....

  • When i plug my ipod in it freezes itunes then the whole pc. Help?

    Hey yeah as the topic says everytime i plug my ipod into my pc it reads the ipod for about 10 seconds and then it freezes. Ill click around but nothing responds, and then even windows itself stops working and i have to reset the PC.
    What should i do i've tried restorig my ipod but that solved nothing. It used to work perfect.
    By the way i'm running Vista Ultimate X64 if that has anything to do with it.

    The same thing is happening to me! I just upgraded to Vista and my ipod was working fine. All of the sudden, every time I plug it in my ipod freezes then my itunes says that my ipod is corrupted! After doing online research, it seems Vista's safely remove hardware feature corrupts the ipod! Wish someone would have let me know before I upgraded.

  • When i plug my phone into my computer itunes says it cannot read the contents of my device

    When i plug my Iphone into itunes, it tells me it cannot read the contents of my device and i must reset it, so i did. I had to o this a few months back and it gave me the option to keep my pictures etc. This time all my pictures and everything got erased, and to top it all off when i plug it back in it tells me it cannot read my device again and i need to reset again. What is happening?! and can i reset mt phone to a previous time/ate like you can with a computer?

    Worked for an iPad 4 (Retina) running iOS 7.0.3. connected to a Mac (Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.2). Although the file system is a bit different than what is shown on the video, the basic same steps can be carried out: download iFunbox (for Mac, obviously), go into "Raw file system", then "iTunes_Control" (you may want to switch to list view to see the complete name), then iTunes. There there was no iTunesDB file but I deleted iTunesCDB (was 0kB, expect that might have been the problem) and iTunesControl (0kB as well). Also deleted the Music folder in the previous directory.
    After that I disconnected the iPad from iTunes, quit iTunes, relaunched, and it started sync'ing :-)
    Note that now it's telling me that it cannot sync because an additional 10GB is required! Not sure what the problem is because the bar at the bottom of the iTunes window says it still has another 4GB available. I'm expecting there's a problem with how the size of the music is calculated (perhaps because I also sync Genius playlists and mixes), so I disabled music sync'ing for now so it can complete it once. Then I'll hand-pick the music again and hope it works!

  • SHARED DRIVE auto LOG IN -- how do I stop it from doing that?

    I have two iMacs on my network running OSX10.5.7 I often share files between the two systems.
    Whenever I start one of the iMacs it asks me to log into the other mac (it acually halts the startup process and waits for your response, ok or cancel.
    The iMac will then continue starting up.
    How can I stop this from happening? I've checked log-in items and dont see an auto mount scenario.. I am perplexed.
    HELP!
    Thank you!

    This is the screen I get on startup (my system is set to auto log me in to my desktop):
    "Enter your user name and password to access the file server POWERBOOK G4"
    The G4 is the name of the other iMac
    It then asks me to connect as: a gust or registered user. If i input my name and password, it will mount the G4's shared drive on my desktop. This happens EVERYtime I restart my iMac.
    I took a photo of the screen, should you like to see it -- cant figure how to post it here.
    I looked in the Directory Utility application as suggested... nothing there to delete!

    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

  • So when I plug my ipod into my computer it recognizes it and my ipod starts charging. However when i open itunes my ipod doesn't appear. I went on the support site and redownloaded itunes and all those and still nothing?

    When I plug it in it still charges however it doesnt show up on my library.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
