After the update to iTunes 12.0.1 I cannot change the song names or info. I can look at it but it will not let my type it in. I have some songs that are missing information and would like to edit them so that I have the artist name and song title. Help?

  • The song and artist name on my itunes is different to what it is on my iphone.

    Ever since I've updated to the new itunes, I've encountered an annoying problem. When I change the song name by right-clicking on the song and clicking 'get info' and changing it that way, the changes don't apply to my iphone. Why is this?

    You have skype or anything? Easier to chat and explain lol. Ill try my best tho. Pretty much for the songs that are not working for you,remove(delete) from iphone-music. Make sure to then file add to libary select the songs, then go to the very top right "Library" below says music, click it, which then find the songs you just readded, right click get info, change the artist name, song name etc. What ever you need changed, then apply(ok), select the file(s) drag to the iphone/ipod - music. Should appear on iphone as it does on itunes.

  • Importing Text file in to iTunes with song and artist names

    A friend made a compilation CD for me. He exported the artist and song names in to a text file from iTunes. I am having trouble importing the information in to my itunes. The people at the apple store said that it was not possible and that I would have to import his whole iTunes library.
    Thanks.

    Hi Dennis,
    In order to import flat files into MDM do the following. This solution is specific to MS Windows:
    I. Set up ODBC for *.txt or *.csv files
    1. Open Data Sources (ODBC) interface:
    Start> Settings> Control Panel--> Administrative Tools -->Data Sources (ODBC).
    2. Select System DSN Tab in Data Sources (ODBC) interface.
    3. Click on [Add]. Select the Microsoft Text Driver. Click Finish.
    4. Write a Data Source Name
    5. Uncheck Use Current Directory to enable the [Select Directory…] button.
    6. Click on [Select directory…] to determine the source directory.
    7. Select the source file.
    8. Click [OK] and return to the ODBC Text Setup screen.
    9. Click [OK].
    10. Return to the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog and click [OK].
    II. Importing from Flat file
    1. Run MDM Import Manager.
    2. Select ODBC from the Type drop-down field of the Connect To Source dialog.
    3. Enter the DSN name from the Setup ODBC Connection dialog above.
    4. Select the file name with extension (.csv or .txt) in the Tables panel of MDM Import Manager and the file content in the Records panel.
    Hope this solved your problem.Please mark helpful answers

  • I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4.

    I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8  and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

    After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

  • Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

    ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

    Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

    Artist name and song name - Press and release the VoiceOver button.

  • How do I copy playlist song titles and artists names to place in an e-mail

    There is an "export song list" option under "file" that I tried to use. It gives you an option of saving the text in "plain text," "unicode," or "XML" formats. I've tried all 3 and when I bring up the text in Word, its not organized in columns, its just one word after the next, with information I don't need like track numbers, date modified, etc. I don't want to have to go in and manually delete all the extraneous information. Is there a way to format the list in columns so that I could delete all but the song title and artist name for a 200 song list?

    Never mind, I figured it out. I went to "view options" under "edit." I deselected everything but artist, song, and album. I went to the playlist and opt-Aed the list, copy, and then pasted into the e-mail.

  • Renaming songs and artists on 10.5

    So my friend burned me a mix cd and I was trying to rename songs and artists because the names and such did not come through when i imported the cd to itunes 10.5. In trying to do so it is no longer apparently as simple as just clicking and waiting for the box to allow me to pop up and change the title/artist. Is anyone else having this issue with 10.5 or have any resolutions to this?? Also I am no longer able to just simply click on the Music category on the left hand side bar nor am i able to click on my playlists..
    What the heck iTunes???!!!!

    hey there. all you have to do is right click on the song, and then click "get info". when that box pops up, you go up to the tabs and you click "info". by doing so, you can enter all the information you need to, just as you would before.

  • How to include artworks and artist name onto download playlists to a usb key

    Hi!
    I used the "COPY/PASTE" function of WINDOWS to copy ITUNES PLAYLISTs onto a USB key to be used in my car.  All the songs play well and the display shows the titles.  However, the display does not show the ARTWORKS and artist name.
    Is there a way to display this information with the new version of ITUNES.  With my older version,  I used to see all this info.
    Thank-You,
                     Michel

    Are these WAV files?
    WAV does not use ID3 tags to store info.

    It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
    Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
    To turn Zoom on or off got to:
    Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
    _To Zoom in or out_:
    Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
    Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
    _Move around the screen_:
    When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
    _Large Text_:
    Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
    Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
    I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
    BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
    Best wishes..

  • Song and Artist display differently in landscape mode (iPod on iPhone)

    I have a CD Compilation *50 Best Songs Ever*. When I play any song from this Compilation on my iPhone, if I turn the phone to landscape mode the Artist defaults back to the Artist on the 1st track, but if I turn the phone back to upright mode the Artist shows correctly.
    This is a CD Compilation of various artists, and the only one it seems to happen to.
    Any thoughts?

    No, the OP is correct, there is some sort of funky bug here. I have noticed it too. To the extent that it is almost comical. In portrait view the song/artist/album artist/album art are all correct; then switch to landscape view and you get a comical mix of songs from different artists, wrong album art (from first one in list) and the name of the song and artist are wrong, and inconsistent with what is playing. Rotate back to portrait view and all is good again.
    It is at best a minor inconvenience, and I love my shuffle anyhow, so the randomness of it is sort of fun/funny.
    But it is definitely a bug.

  • Bring back copying and pasting of SONG and ARTIST info (not just links)

    Guys, I used to be able to copy and paste song and artist info into a Google document so I could have a record of my favourite tracks. I'm not talking about copying and pasting actual links within Spotify; rather just the absolute basics. If still not following, I would, for example copy a track from my Spotify playlist as such: Megadeth - Hanger 18 After which I would paste into a Google document and get this: Megadeth - Hanger 18 I've always found the ability to do this very handy. Any chance we can have this back, Spotify? And while we're at it, can we be able to hover over the Spotify icon in the Windows system tray and have currently playing track info displayed? Cheers.  

    Select the text in both cases, and look at the Character Style applied. My guess is that the grey text has the Hyperlink Character style, and it has been manually overridden to get to grey and not underlined. When the text is copied and pasted, the Style is re-asserting itself. Remove the Style from the grey text (or use Redefine Style to change it to match your formatting preferences).

  • How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

    how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
    Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?
