Burned CD's display wrong track info and include profanity

My wife burned a cd for me about a week ago from her itunes library on a 2007 macbook. When I inserted it into my 2007 macbook pro the cd track info was completely different than what she burned. The music was write, just not the track info. We recently tried burning another cd to use at our church for pre-service music. When we imported that cd into the computer the track names and info included profanity in them. A bit embarrassing at that moment. Can someone help me figure out what would cause this issue?

When a CD is inserted into iTunes, the times of the tracks are analyzed and sent to a service called Gracenote, which attempts to match it with CDs in its database. You had the misfortune that your track pattern matched something different in Gracenote's DB. This is not common but it can occur, especially on CDs with only one or a small number of tracks.
To avoid the problem, play the CD in a boom-box instead of on your Macbook, so that nothing will display. If you prefer to use your Macbook, get the original files from your wife and play them directly in iTunes. Then you can be sure the correct titles will display.

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

Importing cds- getting wrong track info

Sometimes when I import a cd itunes automatically chooses track info for some other cd. I have to go though and manually change the track names. Any way to choose the cd, rather than have itunes choose it for me?
thanks

iTunes tries to identify the CD by matching it to items in Gracenote's database. If there are multiple matches, it gives you the list and you can choose the right one. If there is only one choice and it's wrong, then you will need to type in the correct info.

Why Don't Burned Audio CDs Retain Title & Track Info?

I tried to burn an audio CD several ways, and it still won't retain the CD title that I have assigned, or the track names.
When inserted into other computers, the CD is called Audio CD and the tracks are called Track 01, Track 02...
What's worse is that when you insert these CDs into other Macs, iTunes tries to guess the name of the CDs & tracks, and since the audio isn't on iTunes (they are just boring lectures that were recorded here), iTunes tries to assing some crazy title to the CD & tracks.
I have checked the box that says "include CD text" on both iTunes and Toast, and this still keeps happening.
Why can't the CDs remember the names of the tracks, or at the very least, the names of the CDs?

You're welcome.
We all need someone else to point out the obvious from time to time.

Admin Console displays wrong Hardware Scan and Heartbeat DDR times

When we open up our collections to "Show Members" and add the Hardware Scan and Heartbeat DDR display columns, we notice those times do not reflect the actual times of the last Hardware Scan listed in the Resource Explorer or
the Heartbeat Discovery time shown in the properties of the DDR. Is there an evaluation rule that I am forgetting about?

I believe that information is summarized every hour rather than displaying live info. You may have to close the node or refresh the resource to get it to update after being summarized.
I'm not finding any specific information in the documentation or anywhere in the console that this is controlled. Maybe someone else has more concrete info.

No track info and no ability to preview songs.

Just starting off with iTunes on my home computer. When importing my Cd's I am not getting song titles and other track information. Neither am I getting any album artwork. When I go into the store I am unable to preview the tracks. All this happens on my work computer. What could be the problem?

The iPhones features have been publicized repeatedly so it isn't as though you didn't know those features were not available.
To meet the June release deadline Apple had to pull engineers and programmers away from working on Leopard - just so you could have your iPhone today. Those engineers/programmers did a helluva job putting all the current apps together. Just imagine would you'd have if Microsoft's employees had done it instead? You're MSPhone would be crashing, the apps wouldn't work and Microsoft would be demanding $99 for tech support of which would come out of Bombay, India.

My cat changed the display from track info to graphic equalizer.

She's very talented. Unfortunately, she isn't in the mood to change it back.

Bringing my wife's iPad into my Cloud without erasing her info and including my email?

I currently have iCloud running with my iMac and iPhone 4S. My wife would like to run iCloud on her iPad to have access to all of our pictures, contacts, etc. Is it possible to bring her device into my "cloud" without erasing everything on her iPad and having my email on her iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to connect to your photostream she would need to log into your account as a primary account (settings > iCloud) she could enable photostream and any other service you wished to share, but disable those (mail for example) she didn't.
So far as keeping her own information she would need to log into her account as a secondary account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars and enable the services she wanted to use on her own.

How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

Hello,
I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
My 2.5 questions are:
1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
Thank you!
-Royce

1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

Haven't received a conformation e-mail giving me tracking info

Hi Everyone,
I ordered my upgraded phone on 2/7, however they called me this morning and said that I didn't select a new plan b/c my old plan is no longer available. So I told them which plan I had selected and then called back to accept the Terms and Agreements. Since then, I called back to see when my phone would now be shipped out and the CS rep, who was very helpful and pleasant, said everything they needed was there and my phone should go out today and I will receive it tomorrow; I just hadn't received an email yet because they usually aren't sent out until around 5 pm (guess EST). When 5 o'clock came and past, I called back to see if my phone would still go out today and I was told yes again by CSR but that email with tracking information wouldn't be sent until the phone is actually scanned onto the truck and Verizon receives that info at the time as well. I have NEVER experienced anything like this from Verizon before. I was just wondering if anybody has every had a similar situation and if so, how long did it take to receive any tracking info and ordered phone? I can view my receipts for my order (with todays date: 2/10/14) along with receipt showing acceptance of Terms and Agreements.so I know Verizon has received my order and payment so there should be nothing holding this up. If anyone has any insight or helpful information, I would love to hear from you. Thanks!! Brianna

Brianna, sounds like you are eager to get into that phone. We are also eager to get that to you. Based on the information you have provided there should be no delay in shipment. The tracking information is generated by the shipper when they first scan the package. I apologize on behalf of Verizon Wireless for any delay in providing the tracking information.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
This script will only work on Macs:

ITunes burned CD track info does not show in another mac.

iTunes burns a CD of imported LPs. Track info was entered with Audacity, saved as aiff and then imported into iTunes . The track info shows up in my car CD player but not another mac. Any suggestions?

Update: after trying 6 discs that failed, the next few worked fine. Both iTunes and Finder displayed the actual disk name and track names. However, going back to the previously failed disks did not change the outcome. They still failed. That worked for another 6 or so disks, then this morning I ran across another one that got looked up in iTunes, but not in Finder.
