Artist names won't update on iPod after manually correcting them

Ever since updating to iOS 5 my artist names are no longer consistent. Some entries will read Smashing Pumpkins and some read The Smashing Pumpkins for example. Originally I manually changed them to be consistent as they appear in iTunes and on the iPod in iTun es when connected. However, once disconnected the iPod itself goes back to displaying them as seperate entries. This is extremely annoying.

I'm having the same problem, along with a lot of other people. This is ridiculous.

  • Itunes 7.0.2 won't update my ipod 2nd gen. software

    I purchased an ipod silver 2gb and it came with ipod software 1.1.1. I downloaded and installed itunes 7.0.2 and the it won't update my ipod to the 1.2 or greater version required for nike+.
    I tried the updates but it only says that the itunes 7.0.2 version is the latest version. The summary of the ipod indicates that the ipod software installed in the ipod is version 1.1.1.
    If tried download ipod software version 1.3 but the download at the apple websit only provide for the free download of itunes version 7.0.2.
    What can I do to update my ipod software and be able to instal nike+?

    did you consult and troubleshoot with any of the many helpful information here.

    Try connecting your ipod to the itunes and see if it recognizes nikeplus there. If not then you can also try the 5 r's

    Then if that doesnt work then go to your ipod settings and select about and see what firmware version your using on the ipod.

    Okay. I've tried syncing it first, resetting it first, downloading the firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked my connections and ports and everything, run all kinds of diagnostics, and nothing is working. Every time it says it's backing it up, my iPod resets and then it's back to square one. I'm going to restore it and see if that helps. What a pain in the butt, especially since it wouldn't back it up.... >.<

  • Same artist name displays multiple times on iPod

    I have about 24 cd's of Miles Davis on my iPod, but his name appears twice, with the total amount of cd's split between the two Miles Davis'.... any idea as to how I can combine them? I've tried renaming the artists' name but that did not work.

    Make sure there isn't any blank spaces in the artist name. This could cause the multiple listings.

  • Ratings won't update from iPod to iTunes

    I know these sorts of questions have been posted before, but all the answers I can find simply seem to say "it should work if you set update to automatic"... Well, it doesn't.
    Experimentally I've been putting a few unrated songs from my iTunes onto my girlfriends iPod mini. For iTunes to even allow me drag and drop to the iPod in the first place i HAVE to set it to "manual update". I go off and rate the songs, then come back and plug in the iPod and set it to "automatically update all songs". Here it says there is not enough room on the iPod to put my entire collection (duh...), so I select "no" to the custom playlist it asks to create. Then the songs on the iPod are greyed out and no ratings have been updated in my iTunes.
    If it was set to "manually update" the only difference is the iPod songs are no longer greyed. No rating update.
    I don't have my own iPod yet. This problem is the only thing holding me back, as the ability to rate your songs away from home is the ONLY reason I would buy an iPod over many of the other, most likely superior, mp3 players out there. For a brand which sells itself on intuitive interfaces, why are there so many people who still can't get this basic feature to work right?

    There's your problem. Set it to automatic, and choose playlists to be updated. You cannot drag and drop in automatic mode. You cannot update playcounts/ratings in manual mode.

    in the iPod and set it to "automatically update all
    songs". Here it says there is not enough room on the

    Then the songs on the iPod are greyed out and no
    Set it to "Update Selected Playlists" and just pick a few.
    It is normal that the iPod playlist is greyed out in automatic mode.

  • Artist name not showing properly on phone after sync

    Certain artists that style their name in a certain way ("MaHi" for example) refuse to properly display this styling on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2. I recently purchased some of MaHi's songs through iTunes and I suspect this to be the problem as none of my "non-iTunes" music have this problem. In iTunes on my desktop, the name is displayed properly as "MaHi" with the capital H. However, no matter what I do it seems, my phone and iOS refuse to to display the artist's name with the proper capitals. Every single time it reverts to "Mahi" which is incorrect. I have converted the purchased music to MP3s, stripped the tags, and reimported the songs and yet still have this issue. This leads me to believe it's some stupid thing going on with some kind of syncing up to the iTunes Store and pulling the artist name because it's incorrect on the artist's store page as well. Does anyone have a potential workaround for this or even a fix?

  • IPod Classic 120GB - iTunes Won't update my iPod software to version 2.1

    I have a 120GB iPod classic with software version 2.0.1 bought in 2009.
    I want to upgrade the software to version 2.1 so I can have the voice memo feature on my iPod.
    I am running iTunes version 10.0.1
    When I ask iTunes to check for a software update for my ipod it says, "This version of the iPod software (2.0.1) is the current version."
    This is obviously not true.
    I've tried to download the software update directly from apple.com ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120229 ) but it gives me a full download of iTunes 10.0.1 which I already have installed.
    I don't understand why iTunes will not update my iPod's software. I don't understand why the iPod didn't come with the 2.1 version already installed. According to the download page, this version was released in 2003.
    Can anyone please explain to me why or more importantly, HOW I can get the ipod software updated when iTunes fails to do it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello BookofSplendors,
    And welcome to  Discussions!
    Sorry, but that firmware update is for a different model iPod, which would explain why its release date was from 2003 and not something more recent. The firmware on your 120 GB iPod is actually the most up to date version already.

  • Itunes 5.0 won't update my ipod

    Have been suffering through vers 5 like most of us. It has installed ok and looks ok but will not update my ipod. It recognises it is plugged in and it tells me it is doing it but nothing happens. I have installed the latest quicktime and ipod updater and even tried changing the drive letter of the ipod.. But now I can't change the drive letter back as it only lists the ipod drive when it is pretending to update it and of course I'm not quick enough to change it back even if it would let me. Anyone got any ideas?Please.

    Because you really have a 2G iod. Those can only go to 4.2.1.  If yours is an 8or 16 GB one it is a 2G Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPOds. A 32 GB one can be either. To identify yours see:
    Identifying iPod models
    You use the model number on the back to tell a 2G from a 3G.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 won't update. If I manually download iTunes, will I have to upload my songs again?

    My iTunes won't update after it checks for one. It says one is available then accesses the iTunes store and then nothing happens. If I manually download iTunes will I have to upload my music again?

    No. Back the music up anyway.

  • I have two apps on my app store that won't update. I don't need them. How can I remove them from there? Thank you!

    Hey
    I have two apps on my Mac App Store that won't update no matter what I do.
    One of them  is not even mine. It shows a weird russian email address that does not belong to me.
    The other one says "updated" but won't go away from the updates list no matter what I do (Reboots, etc).
    How can I erase them? I need niether apps.
    Thank you very much.
    Instalada = Installed & Actualizar = Update

    <Email Image Edited By Host>

    Hey!
    There are two things here. The first one is that the apps aren't of course hacked/pirated. The mac is of a friend of mine. She's 65 or something and has no idea on how to hack apps, plus, afaik, nobody else has access to her computer.
    Secondly, the thing is that niether app shows at the app list, and we even made a find from a terminal window, and got no results of the apps.
    It is a very strange behavoir and if somebody has a solution I'll be glad to hear it.
    BTW, She just upgraded her machine to OS X 10.8.1, I'll check if the upgrad fixed the bug.
    Thanks!!

  • ITunes won't update my iPod

    I plug in my iPod with or without iTunes open. A dialog box opens and asks me if I'd like to update or restore my iPod. I've tried both options.
    When I click restore I get an error that says "The iPod "jackemstackem" (my iPod's name) could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    When I click update I get an error that says "The iPod "jackemstackem" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1417).
    I don't know what these numbers mean and I can't seem to figure out how to use all the technical support. I just downloaded the iTunes software, if that helps at all. Somebody please tell me what to do! I'm desperate!

    it's wise to rewind to an older version of iTunes, so you can start to use your iPod again
