Rename tracks on the ipod

i am a regular user of media center but there was a problem with renaming tracks so i used itunes to rename the tracks.
i used media center to put all my album art on my mp3s, and as soon as i use itunes the dam program deletes many hours of work, it was good that itunes sorted out my renaming tracks but why did the itunes delete all my album art? and is there a way to get it back?
the album art is on the ipod but is not showing when playing the songs.
also i restarted the computer because i wanted to see if i could restore the album art with media center but Media center would not load, but when i start windows the toolbar in the bottom right corner did not show anything there, usually normal stuff like local area network and the virus scanner load automatically but it didn't this time, when i loaded the virus shield manually it said there is a threat on the computer, i don't think i should re connect my ipod to the computer until this is solved? please help!! because i don't want my ipod to go dead or anything.
i regret using that itunes now

i knew it, phew.... becasue i don't use itunes i mainly use media center, media center does not have the option to rename songs that are already on the ipod thats why i used itunes. and thats is why my songs are not in itunes libary.
i am going to try something else, it's going to be very long but what option do i have i will re sync ipod and add album art to each song via itunes. becasue i can't add album art to songs that already on the ipod with meda center. i hope i can do that?
dam i selected all the files and itunes deleted everything! now i have to start all over anyway!

  • How do I stop it from shuffling tracks in the ipod app?

    I have put an audiobook onto the iphone but it shuffles the tracks. There used to be a blue shuffle button in the ipod mode but this has disappeared... It's really frustrating that I can't play the book in order!

    Thanks for replying, I have the progress bar, a repeat button, a go back 30 seconds button and a change speed button. The latter two are new and I have no recognisable shuffle button. Weirdly though, since I went back and played with all of these just now, it has stopped shuffling them. So while I still don't know how to change the shuffle setting, at least I can listen to the book!

  • Increasing the volume of tracks on the iPod Nano

    I've clicked the option on iTunes to standardise all the song volumes, but this means that all the songs on my iPod are now relatively quiet and I have to turn the volume up to full (if background noise is loud) to hear my music and even then it is sometimes not loud enough. Does anyone know how to increase the volume of the tracks when they are passed to your iPod?

    Ah, unfortunately not.
    As you posted in the nano first gen forum, I mistakenly assumed that's what you had.
    goPod doesn't work (as yet) with the second gen nano.
    There's nothing you can do. Boosting the songs volume using iTunes won't overcome the cap I'm afraid.
    You might find that turning off the soundcheck feature raises the volume a little, as would using lower impedance headphones.

  • When I connect my iPod touch to my stereo, I cannot skip tracks using my iPod or the stereo controls.

    When I connect my iPod touch to my stereo, I cannot change tracks using the iPod or the stereo controls. I did not have this problem with my iPod nano. I have the software update 4.2.1 installed. Is it a problem with the software or the stereo? Please help.

  • I lost my iPod and i"m trying to track it but the ipod is offline.

    i lost my ipod thrusday night but i try to track down the ipod but it say it offline but i dont know what to do after that should i go to a apple store or dont do nothing about it.

    You've posted in the wrong forum, try the ipod forum.  At any rate, if the device is offline, that means it's out of power, not connected to the internet or has been reset by the person using it now.

  • How does the iPod Classic Respond to Multiple Album Artworks?

    iTunes allows you to put more than one artwork as the file's album art ... does it ever cycle through them, or is it just "there", taking up precious bytes?

    To date, the firmware only ever shows the first image in any given file. You can, however, give different artwork to different tracks and the iPod will display the appropriate image. An example I have is Mike Oldfield's "Light & Shade", the first CD is "Light" while the other is "Shade". I have this arranged as a single 22 track album within iTunes with the "Light" artwork on the first 13 tracks and the "Shade" artwork on the other 9. As far as I can tell the iPod draws on a separate artwork cache created during the sync process for displaying artwork. I assume this would only store the primary image from any given file, however the original data is still embedded in the media file so to that extent the data is still "there". In the scheme of things it's hardly likely to be a problem unless you routinely embed dozens of images into each track. If you drop images onto the album art panel in iTunes they will be appended to any existing images. If you *Get info* for multiple tracks & paste in the artwork box there then all the images are replaced with the single new image.

  • Checked song update: Must check while the Ipod is connected?

    HI there!
    I can't seem to manage my selection of files on my iPod and iTunes by selecting and deselecting tracks while the iPod is NOT connected. The option is enable for
    What I meen, is if I select or deselect things, they don't get sycnhronize.
    Is this normal behavior?
    I often listen to what I have, and decide on the fly that I want to replace something, but I don't want to have to stop listening, connect the iPod and do it.
    And even this is not ALWAYS!
    BTW, I noticed this behaviour since upgrading to the newest iTunes 6.0.5.20
    Is this normal behaviour or a bug?
    Should I reset my iPod fater an iTunes update?
    Thanks for any and all information!

    hi Jazza!
    the best explanation for this that i've seen is that there can be power drain problems in USB 2.0. drop below 500 mA running through the port and everything goes to pot. this may well explain why switching back to USB 1.1 sometimes works like a charm, and also explains why it's important to have the ipod plugged into a high powered USB port rather than a low power port.
    i've seen a confirmed case of a USB connection going west after a scanner got plugged into the beast in question ... periodically i see other reports along these lines, too.

  • User Interface bug when renaming tracks in list views

    When renaming tracks in the list views, there is a user interface bug that makes it impossible to see what you're doing.  When you select a track in the list view, this is what it looks like:
    Note how the text is white on the darker blue background.  When you click again, to open the inline text editor to rename, this is what you get:
    The background color of the text editor is white, just like the text, so when you type, you can't see what you're typing, nor can you see where in the original text your text insertion cursor is located.
    Thanks!
    Steve.

    I'm frustrated with this same problem. In my case this happens only in my 10.5 macbook air and not in my 10.4 macbook pro. I've been renaming files in the same way in 10.2/10.3 and this never happened. Should be a bug. I've been searching for this issue and found this post at last - I really wonder why there aren't so many people mentioning this.

  • Why the iPod classic needs to be updated

    Two things:
    - iTunes U content, should have its own menu section in the device. Why put all that stuff into a single Movies category.
    - Front Row or similar application is needed. Why is it sold a Universal Dock with a Remote, while there is no way of actually controlling the device, and using it effectively through a tv or monitor.
    Regards,

    I've only recently downloaded anything from iTunesU and was optimistically hoping something sensible would happen when I synced the tracks to the iPod. Sadly not. While I quite agree that Apple could & should update the iPod with a dedicated section for iTunesU it is possible with iTunes 9 to switch the Media Kind to Podcast which at least gives more organisation to any iTunesU content. As far as I can tell you need to remove & resync the tracks for the switch to take place on the iPod.

  • How do I track an old (stolen) ipod touch if I already synced a new ipod touch with the old information without knowing it would not allow me to track my old ipod but my new one instead?

    I lost my iPod touch (4th generation) over a week ago and did not think I installed the icloud on it. When I was setting up my new iPod touch (4th generation),
    I saw that it automatically shows an option for icloud. That made me realize that I probably did install icloud in my old ipod. The problem is that I synced my old ipod with my new ipod on the computer. I thought if I didn't I would loose all of my old infomation. So now evertyime I use the app to find my iPod, it finds my new one. It shows only one device located under it. Is there a way I could find the old iPod? Or could I restore my new iPod and find the old one that way? I'm afraid if I restore it I would loose all my information from my old ipod.

    That makes no difference in finding/tracking your lost/stolen device.
    The old device will only show up in icloud.com if you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • ITunes says, "The iPod cannot be synced because it cannot be found" when it tries to sync the tracks.

    When I connect my iPod Touch by USB to my MacBook with iTunes open, iTunes automatically starts syncing, as it should. When it gets to Step 3 of 5 it says "Determining tracks to sync," and then just as the status message changes the sync stops. An error icon appears in the sidebar next to my iPod. When I click the icon a message box comes up that says, "The iPod [name] cannot be synced because it cannot be found."

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book?  Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

    About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased. 
    I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
    I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
    Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
    I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
    Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
    Does anyone know what is going on with this thing???  I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this! 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
    Thanks.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!
