Can't get certain songs to update correctly.

Apologies if this has been discussed previously; I searched but didn't come up with anything.
I got my iPod for Christmas, and have been happily using it since. Through the ipod, I've discovered that the majority of my mp3 collection's id3 tags are incorrect, so I've been editing them manually. It's a tedious task, so I do 30 or so, sync my ipod, and call it a day.
The last set of songs I updated and synced is where I'm running into problems. On one CD's worth of songs, I've got a song that is correctly listed in itunes as song 5 of 15, but on ipod, it keeps showing up as the first on the list. The second problem is that, on this CD and another CD that I fixed the tags for on the same day, the album artwork is only showing on about half the songs.
First I tried removing just the affected song(s) and then adding it back to the itunes library and re-syncing the ipod, and when that didn't work, I tried the 5 R's... still nothing. Has anyone had similar problems, or have any suggestions for me?

Seems I've answered my own question.
The song that kept coming up out of order - was because it had the Album Artist and Composer fields filled in, while on the rest of those songs, those 2 fields were blank.
The album artwork - iTunes couldn't find the cover art, so I'd downloaded it manually and added it to the first song in the list. Seems you have to add it to every song, or else it'll show up in iTunes but not iPod.
Thanks to everybody who read this and thought about answering =)

  • I can't  get my program to run correctly

    I made a calculator but i can't get the values to update correctly. If you run my code you'll see what I'm talking about. The value number isn't updating and I can only enter in a double digit number (using the buttons) as the initial number. I think its a problem with my boolean statement, but I've tried everything I could think of and things only get worse. (I still haven't figured out the decimal button either.)

    I am no expert, in fact I am a very newbie. But I was trying to get my code to update too, and I didn't know I had to call the validate() function...try doing that, if you haven't already, also read up on validate() from the Component (or Container) API. I didn't really look through your code, I wouldn't be able to keep it in my head anyway.

  • Can't delete certain songs off my iPhone

    A few months ago I clicked the "Show all music" it the music settings on my iPhone. After a few weeks I no longer wanted all the music to show up so I turned it off. Now I can't get certain songs off my phone. I am unable to swipe left on these songs and they don't show up on iTunes or on the One This iPhone tab. All of the songs appear to be songs that I have since deleted from my iTunes library. I have tried removing all songs from the iPhone yet the pesky songs are still there. I also tried unclicking the Sync Music in the Music tab of my iPhone but nothing seems to get theses songs to go away.
    Please help.

    This will delete all the music from the device:

  • Can't synch certain songs

    I can't get certain songs and tones to synch to my iPhone 4S. They Are showing in my iTunes on my PC. 2 are recent purchases and 2 are old tones that disappeared on me.

    Hi Jason and thanks for offering to help. I did read all of the threads in the Community about this issue, before I posted and did a clean reinstall and also turned off local files, but nothing worked. As I was disappointed, I didn't log in for a couple of days, hence my late reply to you, but I've just had a quick play of a few songs in Spotify and it's now working!!  Fingers crossed it stays that way. So I'm not sure why or how, but it all seems to be perfectly fine now. Thanks again for the offer of help. EnchantedMuse :-) 

  • Suddenly I can,t play certain songs from my itune libary as they are connected to my old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . how do i get you to link the 2

    Suddenly  i can,t play certain songs from my libary as they are connected to an old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . How do i merge them together ?

    I had this problem yesterday (or a very similar problem). When you click on your purchased song, an old email address (Apple Account ID) pops up and asks for an old password to authorize permission. It is very stubborn and does not really co-operate when using the usual remedies (forgot password - send me an email - what is your birthday, etc). I fumbled around and eventually got it all straightened out. I can tell you what I did - I cannot tell you what exactly worked. Access your current Apple Itunes account. Deauthorize all computers (up to 4 or 5 in total, I forget...) that can play your purchased music. Update your password. Close your account and Itunes. Open Itunes and try your new password. Now try the "old" music that would not play before - your "old" email/Account ID should still pop-up asking for a password. Delete the old email/ID and put in your current one. Then use your new password to activate. This should solve the problem of old ID / old Password / no permission. My apologies for the imprecise method, again I am not sure exactly WHAT worked here - all I know is that the Itunes Help sections and tutorials were good - but of no use in this case.
    Cheers

  • How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
    The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
    Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and  i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD ,  pen and paper and CDs .
    Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
    I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
    Thanks
    Amanda

  • I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

    I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer.  I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
    My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
    Any advice/help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
    - Expod (free) - http://www.headlightsoft.com/expod/ - Mac, universal for 104.+ (newer machines try de-Tune)

    I purchased an ablum thru itunes on my phone and it says i purchased the songs on itunes but when i go on my music it says i have to repurchase all the songs how can i get the songs with out havin to pay again

    Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How can I get a song to play automatically on a web page ?     iWeb 1.1.2

    Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

    As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
    Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
    Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
    Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
    Change loop="false" to loop="true"
    Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
    Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.
