Track Information Lost on Upload

I am having problems when I upload tracks into iTunesU. The track information (tags) and getting messed up. This results in files being listed out of order in iTunes U as well as resulting in missing track information upon download. Anyone else have this problem and or a solution?

It sounds similiar to a problem I was having, and Apple's been looking at it. In my case, the problem occurs if I:
1) Create the file in Audacity (and open source recorder)
2) Add the ID3 tags in Audacity.
3) Further edit the tags in iTunes.
4) Upload the file to iTunes U.
I've also had the problem occur when I've exported a file without ID3 tags to iTunes and then made the edit in iTunes. In every case, iTunes has seen the ID3 tags locally, but once uploaded, iTunes U loses all the track information. Unfortunately, it's not consistent -- Friday I did a bunch of tests and it wouldn't upload track information; I did the another round yesterday and it worked fine.
This didn't happen when I recorded a file using GarageBand, exported it to iTunes to edit the ID3 tags, and then uploaded to iTunes U.
I did notice that when I edited the ID3 tags using another program (like this one and then uploaded it, all the track information appeared.
What program(s) are you using to create the content and edit the track information, and what's your workflow for those programs? And what kind of files are you trying to upload (mp3, m4a, mov, etc.)

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

Retaining track information on a burned CD

Hello,
I know this question has been asked before... but I'd like some clarification. When I burn CD's in iTunes on my computer at home it of course retains all the info from the burn. However, when I put the CD in my Win XP computer at work, or my iBook even... That data is lost. I realize a database file is updated so that info is shown on the original computer. How then do I make sure the info is retained so that other computers can see the track information?
Thank you very much,
CanOfTin

Thank you for your replies.
The upload idea I thought of... but I believe it would only work if I was burning exact copies of a label CD... and since I'm not duplicating discs, rather just burning songs that I have from various playlists... it wouldn't work.
As for the Cd's... yeah I was afraid that may be the problem. Thought it couldn't hurt to ask though. Thanks for clarifying.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data. It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password. They took about 41+ dollars from my account. I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

No. From the second link below.
"Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product
- If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

Yesterday it stated "delivery successfully' even I haven't received the package! And still nothing today!! Hope it is not lost or somewhere! It is horrible that the tracking information can give the wrong information like mine, never before like this one.Last year something very similar happened to me. It was an expensive item (well for me, over $300.) For some reason I checked the tracking one morning..... and had a melt down when I saw it had supposedly been "delivered" the day before. I'd been at home the day before and no postie had delivered anything. In the heart of an Ottawa winter, there I was outside, looking for the parcel in our the garden. Digging through mounds of snow ...a sorry sight. Well guess what? It was delivered without a problem within a day or two of the premature "delivered" tracking info. I hope yours will arrive on Monday. I know it is quite distressing to think something might have been delivered to the wrong address. I wish I had never checked the tracking info because my imagination started getting the better of me. If nothing arrives by Wed, contact Canada Post and see what they say since the problem is on their end. Good luck!

Any recovery for track info lost in restoration?

My prayer is to gain back track info for my desecrated music collection. It was once quite respectable. While traveling in Asia, Macbook was caught in endless cycle of 'logging in' - brought him to nearest authorized dealer and backed up files. Thousands of tracks were lost when they (a) could not be backed up, or (b) would not transfer from backup. Hundreds more were stripped of their track information. ITunes spent hours "processing gapless playback information" (whereby it regained some of the lost labels) before it froze once more. The shop responded by restoring the system -again- at which point several more albums were lost. Since then, iTunes is no longer "processing --" and the tracks remain unnamed, all jumbled together. The iTunes store helpfully responded to my request to replace purchased items by recommending that I backup files (thanks, apple). Is there any hope ..?

Without an application that provides for this being installed on your iPhone, and without a MobileMe account being accessed on your iPhone which provides for this, the answer is no.
In the U.S. in the event of an emergency - someone dialing 911 but unable to provide their location, the police can request cell tower location services via the carrier for the iPhone, but a carrier in the U.S. will only do this in the event of an emergency when requested by a proper authority.

Encoding track information

Can iTunes be used to encode track information? I have a CD from a local artist and none of the tracks have names - no album, etc... If not, can anyone recommend a solution?
Thanks

To clarify:
Be aware that editing the artist, title, track, etc. info in iTunes saves that information for that CD on your computer - not on the CD. While DATA CDs and MP3 CDs can have that information encoded that on the disc, standard AUDIO CDs cannot. This is not a limitation of iTunes, and there is no 3rd party solution - that's just the way it is with standard audio discs.
See this article for more detail:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785?viewlocale=en_US
The only way anyone else is going to see your artist/title/track info on their computer is if they are running software that can access the online database that keeps track of that sort of data (like iTunes) AND if you previously followed the advice in christopher rig's post to upload your data.
As I understand it, the online database matches the data to the disk by recognizing the exact number of tracks on the disc which must of the exact expected length, so if you do any editing to the CD, the data will need to be uploaded again.

How to show individual track information (like in the old iTunes) of a single artist (or that artist's album) without all the noise of every single other artist close in the alphabet?

The new iTunes has truly added extra visual noise.
I am trying to view a single Artist and the individual track information of that artist. This used to be how itunes was, you could click on a single artist and then the tracks would all have their various categories.
I can still see this but only in the "songs" category and in that I have to see every single song or artist alphabetically.
How do I simply see the artist, and that artist's tracks, as well as the different info about that track I want to see, such as "name, track #, time, year, genre, bit rate, kind, etc."
Please don't counsel me on what information I need to see, or suggest that I stop caring about this, or ask me why I want to see this various info.
It was simple and accessible in the older version and I would probably stop complaining to all of my friends about the latest version of itunes if I can see this old format.
Or... is there a way to re-download the old version? It's okay that you've made mistakes, every company makes mistakes, if I can revert to the old version that would be great.
Thank you.

Select the Songs tab, then under iTunes Menu select View then click Show Column Browser. You will see the familiar GENRES ARTISTS ALBUMS header, click on one artist and you will have only the artist's albums and songs showing in the window below with all the specific info you selected under View options. If this is not what you wanted, simply reply with a nice "no thanks".

How do I update/refresh track information for mp3 files already on my the comput

I recently started using MediaSource after buying a Zen Touch and noticed that one (possibly more, I haven't screened all the?files I've burned) of the CD directories doesn't show the track information in MediaSource. I don't know why, when I go to the file directly on my computer all the information is there. I thought correcting the problem would be a simple matter of identifying the tracks without information and getting Gracenote to tag them, but I can't find any way to do this, and I've spent a lot of time looking.
In searching this forum I've found other users with similar problems but no solution. To keep this simple, I will ask the question in the most direct manner I can:?How do I get track information for mp3 files already on my computer?Please note that I'm not asking how to get track information for CD's I'm burning, these are files that have been on my computers for years. Can somebody please help? I'm quite frustrated that what I thought would be an easy to apply feature of MediaSource is proving so difficult.

Proof of deliver past USPS 120 day available tracking information

An issue on an ebay selling forum has come to my attention that I would like clarification on. Some ebay sellers have had buyers claim INR through PayPal after the 120 day cutoff of USPS online tracking availability. The seller purchases a shipping label with tracking. The tracking number shows delivered. 120 days go by, and the post office removes the tracking information. PayPal claims have a 180 window. Buyer claims INR after 120 days because online tracking information is no longer available. The issue has been addressed on ebay seller forums several times and was brought up in a weekly chat with an ebay employee. His answer is that it is a PayPal issue, and ebay can do nothing to help. Is there a resolution to this problem, or are sellers going to have to drop PayPal from accepted payments. There are already more options out there. I use three different forms of online payment. Dropping PayPal would not be that much of a problem anymore.

Your best bet is to contact customer services direct with this question. You can't drop paypal on ebay i think its mandatory but you can of course on other sites. If you hear back can you come back and update? To be honest I don't think they can do a lot about it as they have bought in the 180 days to match the credit cards as a buyer can do a chargeback up to 180 days after paying. So if a buyer funds their paypal payment with a credit card (which I always do) then you will still get the same problem. Good luck. **************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.
