Update song info problems in itunes

I just updated to ios5.01 on my ipod touch.  If I try to update the song info, it makes the
change in itunes but does not replicate the change to the ipod itself.  Anyone have any ideas?

Manually delete the track on the iPod, resync.

  • How to update song info in iTune & IPOD after changes made in source drive?

    After I added songs to library in iTune and updated in IPOD, I notices some some information was not correct. How can I update the song information to iTunes & IPOD other than clicking each song one by one? In another words, is there a way to batch update the song information from the source drive (I have uploaded all my CDs and saved on my harddrive.
    Thank you.

    I understand that you use iTunes to sync, but somehow didn't use iTunes to delete the file. You will have to use the iTunes interface to delete the file. Go to iTunes/Books, highlight the book, and delete the file. The next time you sync,  you should not see the message.
    Respond in this thread with the results, so we know the problem is fixed or not.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically "correcting" song info from the iTunes Store?

    I frequently rename songs that I download from the iTunes Store for various reasons. For example, when I bought Pet Shop Boys' album Electric on CD, I changed the album name of the pre-release single "Vocal" from "Vocal - Single" to "Electric", and also changed the track numbers to reflect its position on the album. The track grouped with the other tracks that I had copied from the CD, and everything seemed fine.
    However, at random times, I have found that iTunes will attempt to "correct" my changes, leading to some very bizarre circumstances. With Electric, after having the album appear correctly for over two months, it suddenly messed up. The album was still labelled as "Electric", but it appeared in alphabetical order under V, as if all of the tracks had "Vocal - Single" in the album field. It also changed Vocal to track 1, which would be correct for the single, but not for the album. I changed everything back, and while it was fixed on iTunes, the problem persisted on my iPhone - this time, creating two duplicate albums both organized under "Vocal - Single", with an interface that looked like the artist view rather than the album view. I had to delete the album completely from my iPhone and re-sync it to make the changes carry over. This has happened before with other albums where I combine iTunes Store tracks with tracks ripped from CD.
    This has also occurred when I've tried to compile multiple albums, this time entirely bought from the iTunes Store, into one album. To use another Pet Shop Boys example, there were three EP-style singles released on iTunes in support of the album Elysium. Rather than having two or three tracks each labelled as "Winner - EP", "Leaving - EP", and "Memory of the Future - EP", I reorganized them into one album called "Elysium: B-sides", and set each EP as "discs" 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Again, this worked for several months, and then, at the same time as when Electric messed up, iTunes renamed all of the tracks as "Winner - EP" and changed all of my track listings to match the original EPs they had come from. As I clicked "Get Info" on each track in iTunes however, the information snapped back to what I had input, but it was still slightly corrupted and had to be redone in order to get it back in the correct alphabetical and chronological order in my library. Even after I changed everything back, it wouldn't return to correct alphabetical order on my iPhone until I added "Elysium: B-sides" to the "Sort Album" field.
    This is not a new issue. I've had the same problem with other iTunes Store downloads under earlier versions of iTunes, OSX, and iOS. The "corrections" always seem to occur randomly. Is this automatic renaming a "feature"? And if so, how do I turn it off so I can organize the music that I've bought the way I want to?

    Hi Mhwal.  I think this may help you.
    Here's a test for you to try.
    Make sure your iTunes library is updated with your edited album names; 
    Find a song on your iPhone where the album name is incorrect; 
    Delete the song from your iPhone; 
    On your iPhone go to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and tap your Apple ID (highlighted in blue). 
    Tap "Sign Out"; 
    Go back to your iTunes library and select the song/album that you want back on your iPhone; 
    The iPhone should now show your edited album tag; 
    Once your done you can sign back to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and sign back in.  Your edits will hold.
    In addition, this also works with artist pictures.  I did not like the stock images iTunes associated with my artists - I wanted album art instead.  After you sign out of your Apple ID, when you move a song/album from your iTunes library to your iPhone the FIRST album you move over will be associated with that artist.
    For example, I have seven AC/DC albums but I want the cover of "Back in Black" to be associated with AC/DC on my iPhone's artist listing.  After I've signed out of my Apple ID, I transfer "Back in Black" to my iPhone and then the other six albums in any order.  "Back in Black" will be the album picture associated with AC/DC on the artist page.
    Just remember, after your changes you can sign back into iTunes through "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and your changes to edited albums and artist cover art should hold.
    I hope this helps!

  • I've imported several CDs that are "collections", with songs by various artists.  Only a PORTION of the song info appears in iTunes, and, when a song is "clicked-on" to play it, a message appears that the "song could not be found".  Any ideas ?

    The CDs are imported into the "iTunes Media" folder, under "Compilations".   Each CD has a folder, with the name of the CD.  However, EACH SONG in the folder is assigned a sequential number as a prefix before the song's name.  For example "2-1 Sunshine of Your Love."  This prefix, I believe, prevents the song from being imported into the iTunes library.  The song's name appears in the iTunes library (with the number prefix), BUT no other song info (artist, CD name, time, etc.) shows in the iTunes library.   I am NOT designating these CD's as "complilations", but somehow, iTunes is arbitrarily assigning them to this "Compilations" folder, and then assigning sequential numbers to each song.    I am confused.  (My only remedy is to MANUALLY remove the prefix number from each song in the CD folder, within the COMPILATIONS folder, then "re-import" it into iTunes.  Cumbersome.)    Thanks in advance for any opinion, tips or guidance.

    The numeric prefixes in filenames are probably the optional disc number, followed by the track number. iTunes will pick up the Compilation flag from the Gracenote CDDB database if you ripped the tracks with iTunes, or the flag may have been set earlier if these are existing tracks you have imported into a new library.  The iTunes naming convention is <Artist>\<Album>\[<D#>-]<T##> <Name>.<Ext> where Album Artist is used instead of Artist if not blank, and Compliations is used instead of Artist when Part of a compilation is true. Empty Artist or Album values are replaced with Unknown Artist or Unknown Album respectively. With Windows, file and folder names are limited to 40 characters. If more than one file is added with the same details subsequent tracks get suffixes to separate them.
    If iTunes can't find a file that usually means that it has been moved after it was added to the library. Select a single broken track and press CTRL+I to Get Info. Look on the summary tab at the location that iTunes expects to find the file. Where is it really? Post back both paths and I might be able to figure out what has happened, and suggest a fix.

  • Update my info in the Itunes.

    Hello,
    I am selling my IMac, and luckly I am buying a new one. I need to know how do change or delete my info in the Itunes , my credit card info. I also would like to how do i change the language in my computer.
    Thanks for any help.

    You don't need to change your iTunes Store account just because you are selling your computer. None of your personal information is stored on your computer; it's all in the iTunes Store database for your account. Just deauthorize the computer (the command is under the iTunes Store menu in iTunes 7 and under the Advanced menu in iTunes 6 and earlier) before you sell it and delete the iTunes folder in your user's Music folder to clear all the tracks you own and you'll be fine.
    As to changing the language, do you mean the language in the iTunes Store, or the language in which your Mac displays it's menus and dialog boxes?

  • How to refresh or update song info on iPhone with iTunes Match?

    If i change info like an album name, on my MacBook Air's iTunes, the song still appears on my iPhone (that has iTunes Matching turned on also) under the old album name, even if I rescan with iTunes Match. Does anyone know how to update this? I've even tried turning iTunes Match off on my iPhone, syncing, then turning it back on.

    Much like the act of putting your old chumbawumba cd in a box in the attic to make space on your shelf for newer and better music, you should cleanse your iphone of old music files regularly.  Songs aren't gone forever, you can still dust them off and listen to them later if the mood strikes.
    Open settings click general>usage>storage>music>edit
    Then delete all locally stored music
    If your in the mood you can always download that catchy "I get knocked down, but I get up again... You ain't ever gonna keep me down" track and rock out like its 1998 (or whenever that **** song came out)

  • ITunes wont let update song info AND creates duplicates of song files

    When I click "Get Info" some of my song information is grey and won't let me update or change song names, artist names or add artwork. It says the encoding is unknown, but some of it's come straight off a cd!
    Also, does anyones iTunes, duplicate songs? I keep getting two files of each song, and I have no idea why.

    This can also happen if they are WAV files, as WAV files don't support ID3 tags (i.e. song information tags).
    EDIT: On second thought, I think WAV files can have ID3 information, but they don't support artwork. Nevermind.

  • Updating song info from iPod to iTunes Library

    I've got an iPod Video 60GB. I manually control the content on my iPod and iTunes. I listen to my iPod at work all the time and rarely listen to music on my computer. How do I get iTunes to update my Library with the play count, song rating, and last played data from my iPod?

    To move your library see this migrate iTunes library post.
    If it is only the media on the external drive see Make a split library portable.
    You should make your edits in iTunes, and backup the library against problems.
    Automatic syncing is generally easier, but if you edit in iTunes and then drag & drop updated files to the device, the updated files should replace the originals. Dragging songs the other way is not supported.
    If you want to try extracting the updated tracks from your device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Can't update song info in itunes

    I keep my iTunes library on an external drive and recently had to replace the hard drive in my PC, at the same time I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.
    Now I can't update any of the information on the songs which were already on the external drive. Any new songs are fine.
    Can soemone help?

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

  • Update "Get Info" Data in iTunes 11.1.3 on os X Mavericks 10.9.1

    Still not luck
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Are you properly signed in to the same Apple ID on iTunes as you are using on your iPhone and iPad?
    If not, sign in using iTunes' menu (under Store).

  • IPod won't update song info

    Basically when I add a song onto the iPod, it'll show up normally on iTunes (Song name, artist, album) but on the iPod Touch it will just show SONG NAME - UNKNOWN ARTIST - UNKNOWN ALBUM. This is a new issue, since upgrading iTunes to 10.6 and I have tried changing to No ID3 Tags, but nothing works. It's extremely frustrating. I dunno if it's a iPod issue or an iTunes issue since all my over songs have been updating fine.

    Could you let me know when you find out? i'm having the same issue.

  • How do I transfer song info in iTunes Library back to mp3 files?

    1. some info of my songs in my itunes library is different from the info stored in the respective mp3 files
    2. I want the song info in the itunes library to be preserved
    3. but when I play a song in iTunes, iTunes would automatically obtain song info from the mp3 file and update iTunes Library.
    4. And I have many files like that
    Quesiton: Is there a way I could transfer the song info in my itunes library back into the mp3 files?
    thanks a lot if anyone has any idea!!

    The album, artist, etc information displayed in the iTunes library comes from the ID3 tags in the MP3 song files. If you change it in iTunes (using Get Info), iTunes updates the file. iTunes does not automatically change it.
    There may be other programs running that are changing it, e.g. the automatic setting in Windows Media Player.

  • Can't sync song info to iphone 4s?

    Ever since I switched from my 3g to a 4s I have noticed the following problem, which I think others have noted as well, but so far I have yet to see a solution:
    When I change or update song information manually on itunes (like, change the name of a song, or an artist for a group of songs, etc), itunes makes and saves the change, which shows up correctly entered on the itunes screen under the 'music' tab for my phone, but on my actual phone post-sync, all of the incorrect information is still unchanged.
    Is there any fix for this yet? Updating to 5.1 did not fix it.
    I have my music set to sync manually, and I don't back up all my music to the computer because the computer I'm using isn't mine, so it's important for me to be able to edit the information from the itunes tab for it while my phone is plugged in, not just re-enter all the songs in the main library.

    Although the screen resolution isn't up to 1080p, the iPhone (3GS, 4, 4S), iPod touch (> 2nd Gen) and iPad are all capable of decoding 1080p content (as long as the profile isn't too high).  I know this because whenever I use Handbrake to rip a bluray at 1080p, it works fine on all of my devices.  iTunes will even stream them over home sharing.
    However, all of this falls down if you flag a video file as HD 1080p.  I found that when I was opening my rips with Subler (to add artwork and metadata), they would no longer be visible in my shared library via my iDevices, only AppleTV 3.  This was happening because Subler was setting the HD flag to 1080p.  I found that changing this in Subler to 720p or None, resulted in the rips re-appearing in the library.
    So, this is not a device limitation, it is iTunes being restrictive.  iTunes shouldn't restrict based on video resolution, it should restrict on the encoding profile.
    I've never tried opening a purchased movie with Subler but, if you can, try re-flagging your content as 720p and see if you can now sync your 1080p content.  Don't worry, it's only a metadata flag that you're changing, it won't change the resolution of the movie.
