ITunes Not Syncing Album Info

An album I had in my iTunes library had the wrong year in it so it was not in the correct order chronologically so I changed the album release year in this case from 2008 to 1994. However despite it changing in iTunes OK when it syncs over to my phone it reverts to 2008 on my phone but stays as 1994 on my iTunes library.
Any ideas? it is driving me mad!

OK, the iPod show up in Windows Explorer when you plug it in - and it never shows up in iTunes?
Have you tried anything from this document - iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes?

    Can't be done with iTunes.  You can do it with the app PhotoSync.  It will transfer videos back to camera roll.

  • ITunes not syncing music

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
    A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
    It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
    This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
    So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • ITunes not Syncing Lossless files to iPod?

    Itunes not syncing Apple Lossless files to iPod?
    I had a couple FLAC encoded CD's, and i recoded them into Apple Lossless using dBpoweramp.
    These Apple Lossless files load perfectly into iTunes (Playable)
    But no matter what I do, I can't get iTunes to put the files onto my iPod. But from what I've seen, my iPod should support these files! (I tagged all the lossless files with a unique Artist name, and told iTunes to only sync that Artist. Even then it wouldn't sync.)
    Ipod Classic 6th gen 120 gb, Software version 2.0.1
    iTunes version 9.0.1.8
    Using Windows 7 RC 64-bit
    How do I get this to work?

    Same problem here, same application versions. I'm trying to get them to sync to an iPhone but it doesn't actually sycnc. They play without issue in iTunes. I converted them from flac to Apple lossless using dbpoweramp.
    Any suggestions would be helpfull

  • ITunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists

    I have some smaller iPods that I use on random occasions. When I sync them, I choose the following options:
    Sync Music:
    Selected Playlists, artists, genres
    Music Videos - Not Checked
    Automatically fill free space with songs - Checked
    I have two playlists from which I wish a selection to be made, which exceeds the size of the iPod (they were designed for larger devices synced with this machine). When I attempt to Sync, I get a message saying that the iPod is too small, and would I like iTunes to automatically choose songs to sync. If I click no, the sync is canceled. If I click yes to have a subset of my two playlists automatically choosen, the ipod will sync, but then iTunes clears all of my selected playlists and starts syncing songs from all playlists.
    This seems like a bug in iTunes to me, as it is not performing the requested options. Has anyone else experienced this, or know how to get it fixed? Or to get a bug report sent in to Apple? I have been going all over the place on their support page, and since this isn't an issue with the iPod, but with iTunes, I haven't been able to find a support avenue.

    iTunes not syncing selected playlists, choosing songs from all playlists
    You have it selected to *sync selected playlists* and those playlists are not syncing to the iPod?
    however this seems to be very counter-intuitive behavior for iTunes
    It can be kind of confusing.
    I suggest it's not a bug in that it is acting as it's supposed to.
    The option (Fill free space) could be made clearer. Perhaps if they added "with songs at random from the entire library" or somehow added an option to select what the free space will be filled with.)
    1) The fact that iTunes it is not obeying the selected options on the screen
    Not supposed to do that.
    If the playlists all fit and there is free space, what would iTunes use to fill the free space if it only used selected items?
    2) iTunes is allowing users construct an unhonorable set of choices out of four options. If "Selected playlists, artists and genres" is not compatible with "Automatically fill free space," then that option should be grayed out.
    It is compatible.
    If there is free space after your selections are added, what should iTunes use to fill the free space? It shouldn't fill the free space with stuff already on the iPod.

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps 

  • *** is up with itunes not updating my info??

    *** is up with itunes not updating my info. the problem I am still having after 3 weeks is I can not update my credit card/debit card info because itunes says my billing information does not match my bank records. I know this is lunacy because the info I put in is completely correct, i even contacted my bank 3 times to make sure they had my info correct. so obviously something is completely ******** with itunes/iphone in which I cant update my info. **** I cant even download a free app, because it says my info has changed, and I need to change it. when i do, it gives me that stupid message about my info not matching my bank records. Something needs to be done asap.

    does itunes support ever respond to these forums??
    Since these are user-to-user forums, no they don't.

  • Why do i not get album info when copying cd's into itunes?

    I have been importing music from my cd's into my itunes library. I am wondering why album info and track names do not automatically transfer over into itunes? I am having to type each song name and album name in individually - is there a way around this?
    Cheers

    That just depends who made the CD. Some have that info, and some don't. It sounds like the one's you're importing don't.
    Also, some get that info off the Internet, so you'll want that computer connected while importing.

  • Itunes not syncing to iphone 5

    I have the iphone 5 version 6.1.4 and I want to sync my library to my phone and ipad but it is not allowing me saying that I need the itunes version 10.7 or higher when I have 10.6 so I went to itunes to download the new itunes and it wont let me download the new itunes saying that I need OSX version 10.6.8 or later. Can anyone help steer me in the right direction?

    I had a similar issue.  Music that was on my previous iPhone, shows up in my Library, is authorized on my device, was purchased with same account...etc, did not show up under the Artist!  Two songs from two different Albums for the same Artist were there, but I was missing an entire album.  I had the idea to look for the individual title of one of the songs, and I found it there on my phone!  It just wasn't listed under the Artist...really weird.  So I went to my iTunes Library, got the Info for the songs that weren't listed under the Artist Category, and found that the song was checked "Part of a Compilation".  I unchecked it for one of the songs, re-synced, and it showed up under the Artist!  I went into each song that was missing under the Artist category and unchecked that box, and I now see the entire Album under the Artist Category (which is how I often look for music).  Was really happy it was that easy, because I just spent about two hours checking purchase history, authorized devices, etc.  Not sure why that box caused the songs to  not show up, but glad it worked.  Good luck!

  • IPod Touch does not sync any info

    hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
    In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
    i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
    everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

    Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
    I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

  • ITunes changes video/album info when I play video/songs

    I have purchased movies, tv shows, and music on iTunes, and sometimes when I go to play a song or video I've downloaded iTunes changes the name/album/other info on the video/song, and it then changes where it is located in my iTunes folders, and album art changes as well. What is going on?! I've had it happen multiple times to both songs and videos. And unfortunately, even though it renames the files on my computer and in iTunes causing me to not be able to find them, I can not download them from the cloud because the cloud recognizes that those files are ON my computer (even though they're renamed and I would have to listen to thousands of songs just to find what it's been renamed to).
    How can I stop this from happening and losing so much media that I've purchased on this computer?! I'm tempted to delete EVERYTHING, and redownload it from the cloud. However, what's to say it wouldn't happen all over again once I've done that?
    Please let me know if you've experienced something similar and what can be done to correct the problem.
    Thank you so much.

    I'm having the exact same issue, and it's driving me crazy. Like you, it's been happening for a while, through several updates. This can get confusing, so let me use actual titles to keep this straight. Went to play Lady Gaga "Bad Romance". The album art totally changed to Swell Season and the song "Back Broke" started playing even though the track was still labeled with Lady Gaga info. 
    So, I tracked down Swell Season "Back Broke" and played that, and it morphed into a completely different song!  I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole with my songs. AND even though the Lady Gaga track renamed itself to Swell Season "Back Broke" and plays Swell Season "Back Broke", it still sorts alphabetically as if it's Lady Gaga.
    My favorite incident so far has been a song with track info A, album art B, and the actual song that plays is C. Three in one combo!  All of these have been with purchased songs.
    Deleting and downloading the incorrect tracks from the cloud doesn't do anything. Problem remains. When I tried to redownload Lady Gaga "Bad Romance" from previous purchases in the store, it said that it was "not available in the US store." ????? Should I abandon my itunes library and thousands of dollars worth of purchased songs and just do a monthly thing like Spotify? Because the only solution that has worked so far is REBUYING songs I've already purchased!!
    Ridiculous. Apple, find a solution and break it down for me step-by-step. Because I know I'm not the only person with this issue.

  • IPod and iTunes not syncing properly

    When I swipe a song to the right on my iPod and tap delete, a cloud appears with a down arrow. The song never leaves my iPod and I am still able to play it with the cloud/arrow showing. The cloud symbol remains after syncing and the song will still play. In fact the cloud symbol never goes away until I tap it. If I tap the cloud I get the circle/square symbol indicating it has been downloaded/added to my iPod. Conversely, when I drag music on iTunes to my iPod I see the green plus sign but the song does not appear on my iPod after syncing nor on iTunes. I also have unchecked music on iTunes listed for my iPod and they still don't go away after syncing.
    iPod touch 5g, refurbished
    iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

    As a last ditch attempt I unchecked all the albums, artists and manually loaded songs on my iPod via iTunes and synced my iPod. After syncing there were 3 songs left on my iPod which I was able to delete in the normal fashion (sliding left and touching the red "Delete" prompt). I synced my iPod again. Now iPod was empty. I then loaded the songs I wanted by clicking and dragging the albums I wanted to my iPod via iTunes. I synced again and now my iPod has the songs that I currently want on it.
