Cannot upload song titles to gracenote

I just purchased a classical cd (not in the iTunes store) - the recording and the work played is famous, but nevertheless iTunes didn't get any track information out of the Gracenote database. So I did the input myself. Now I want to upload the info to the Gracenote database in order to help other users. But I can't do so: the upload thing ('send cd track names') in the advanced menu isn't highlighted so I can't give the upload command. What should I do? I am signed in with my iTunes store account, and iTunes works fine, except for this.
Thanks for your help

I found out the cd should still be in the cd reader - and after having entered the tracknames with the cd still in place, I managed to send the information to the Graceland database
So don't remove your cd before entering the tracknames
Hope this will be of any help to someone else too

Cannot upload song to itunes match, i-clould seems keep pending to upload

Ragazzi anche io ho lo stesso problema.
Ho attivato l'iTunes Match, che funziona correttamente sul pc e sull'iPhone 4S.
L'ho attivato anche sul mio iPad, ma, tuttavia, dopo un breve periodo in cui ha funzionato correttamente, ha iniziato a dare problemi.
Vi descrivo di seguito ciò che ho rilevato:
- il periodo in cui l'iTunes Match ha funzionato correttamente sull'iPad è durato solo qualche settimana;
- in seguito, anche se tutti i brani della Cloud venivano visualizzati sull'iPad, dava problemi nel senso che i brani non venivano riprodotti e, inoltre, la durata veniva indicata in "zero" per tutti i brani, sicchè, cliccandoci, non venivano riprodotti;
- ho provato a disattivare e riattivare l'iTunes Match e, a questo punto il dispositivo ha dato il messaggio "tutta la tua libreria musicale verrà sostituita con quella su iTunes Match", mentre, nell'applicazione "MUSICA" erano spariti tutti i brani: veniva visualizzata, al centro della pagina, la nuovoletta del Cloud, con una barra di download sotto. Questo è durato per circa quattro giorni, senza che succedesse nulla, nel senso che la barra del download non mostrava segni di caricamento;
- allora ho provato a ripristanare le impostazioni e, a questo punto, erano visualizzati di nuovo i brani, ma comunque senza possibilità di riprodurli (la durata di nuovo indicata come "zero");
- nel momento in cui ho provato a cliccare su uno dei brani, è riapparsa la nuvoletta del Cloud con la barra di download sotto;
- quando i brani ricompaiono, hanno sempre durata zero e non vengono riprodotti;
- ho attivato anche la condivisione in famiglia ma il problema non cambia.
Vi preciso che il mio iPad è della prima generazione ed è aggiornato all'IOS 6.

Cannot upload songs from iPod

I just got a new computer since my other one crashed with all my music on it. I still have the music on my iPod but it will not let me upload it without it erasing it and starting all over. What do I do? Do I have to re-download ALL my songs? That will be exspensive.

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.

Cannot upload songs to iTunes Match

Hi all,
I have the account for something more than a year. After a year of uploading tracks and updating my Library i managed to keep only the songs i am interested in and removed all the duplicates. That was a good time to clear my itunes match and re-upload-match everthing that i have now in my Library of the local computer. I managed to clear the itunes match librady in the cloud and now it says in all my devices that i have no content. Though, when i "Update itunes match" it scans my libray and says "Your itunes library is now available in iCloud. No songs are available in icloud" even though i have in my local library aprox 7000 songs. Does anyone has this problem? Any solution to upload/match again?

Hi again,
I had already the view you advised open. Well here are the different statuses i have:
1)Duplicate (almost 50%)
2)Ineligible (only 20 songs)
3)Removed from icloud (the other 50%)
I have no song with no status at all. Though, the ones that are marked as duplicates are not duplicates in my library. It is like it still finds them in icloud even though icloud is empty with songs
Attached are screens that might help.

Cannot Upload Songs

I recently defraged my computer and ever since then it hasn't run properly. Now iTunes does not work. It doesnt let
me sync new songs onto my iPod and it already removed all my songs for some reason. I have tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and it still shows this message:
Attempting to copy the disk "My iPod" failed. An unknown error occured (69).
Also, I have tried uploading one song at a time and that works for some songs, but when I try to upload another song by itself it erases the other songs.Any help would be great.

See if this helps: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod

Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

Hello all.
I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
(a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
(b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
(c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
(I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
1) Anyone else have this problem?
2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
3) Anyone know a solution?
(FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
Thanks.
(Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
(Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
(I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
[Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]

UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).

iTunes cannot convert protected WMA tracks. There may also be problems if it can't get full access permissions. What exactly are you trying to do when the error occurs?

Error states: "Song title" cannot be downloaded becuase it was not purchased with your apple ID, when in fact it was!! What is going on?

Hello I am trying to use the "Download Perviously Purchased" feature on iTunes. When I go to download the songs that are not in my library that I downloaded on a different computer with my same apple ID is states ""Song title" cannot be downloaded becuase it was not purchased with your apple ID"
I did purchase it with my exact apple ID and it even asked to make sure that my account info was correct which it was. How do i solve this problem??

There are a lot of reports of people having this problem (including me). The Apple iTunes store has been having other issues as well (some speculate it might be related to the recent Lion release).
You could open a case with Apple, or you could just wait it out. I'm sure Apple is in the process of fixing it since this seems to be hitting a lot of users.

Now that i have the most recent version of I Tunes, I cannot print jewel cases. The song titles print over themselves.

After upgrading to OS 10.6.7, when I insert a purchased CD, iTunes no longer accesses Gracenotes. I have to manually type in the song titles now. Any suggestions?

After upgrading to OS 10.6.7, when I insert a purchased CD, iTunes no longer accesses Gracenotes. I now have to manually type in the song titles. I tried Advanced > Get Track Titles but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Okay, I figured it out.
Shoulda just tried this before I posted in Discussions...
I deleted iTunes (completely), and reinstalled.
In case you need help doing that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
Now everything is working fine again.

I downloaded latest version of iTunes for PC on my XP. Works fine. Connected my iPhone 5. I can see it. Cannot transfer any of my music to iPhone. I pull song to the right of screen, phone access pops open, plus sign on song title, drop it in, nothing

1) Downloaded latest iTunes version onto PC
2) connected iPhone 5 to PC
3) Transferred songs from my files to iPhone - everything worked ok.
4) downloaded app from Mac appstore - iConverter - to convert ringtones for use on iPhone
5) converted ringtones as instructed and got them over to iPhone to use - in process, had to SYNC tones and therefore, lost all the music files I had on iPhone.
6) went back to iTunes to copy over music files again and nothing would transfer. The iPhone listing on the right would pull out when I'd drag the music file over. A + sign would show on the song title and I would drop it in. I check my iPhone music and nothing is there.
7) also, a couple of songs somehow transferred in on their own and I can't delete them from the iPhone.
8) if I try to SYNC my music to the phone, it will erase the ringtones.
HELP!

From the box the iphone came in:
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account

Cannot see the artist title & song title in Music...

I'm wondering if there is a way to change the display in Music. When I'm playing a song, the song title and artist appear in very small font at the top. The artwork takes up the entire screen though (which doesn't always help). Is it possible to make the font larger so that I can see the artist & song title with a quick glance (instead of getting out a maginifying glass?)
Thanks in advance

I've tried iTunes, but when I'm on the road I don't have wifi access. Maybe there is an app that will playback music and allow me to see the artist & song title in bigger lettering?

Cannot display artist's & song titles

I have used two different computers to sync my cd music. One computer will sync with artist and song titles. The other will only sync with Track one, Track two, and no artist's name and titles. How do I get this computer to syn with with names and song list?

"Other than hand typing in the missing names, how can I get this current library to list the missing names and titles?"
If you connect to the internet you can highlighting the tracks in an album and go to Advanced>Get CD Track names: Finding CD information on the Internet
"Also, I noticed that while typing in the missing information is a box called Part of a compliation. Should I check this box?
Only if the CD you are adding information for is truly a compilation, in other words the tracks on the CD are all by different artists. If you tick this box for songs in a CD by a single artist the songs won't appear under Artist on the iPod. They'll only appear under Albums or under Compilations and then the compilation album.

LOSE SONG TITLES WHEN I BURN CDs

Suddenly when I burn CDs from playlists, the new CD created only has track numbers and no song titles. I used to have a workaround for this problem -- instead of just highlighting the playlist and burning it, i would actually open the playlist and highlight every song -- but this no longer works!
Anybody else have this problem or know why it happens? AND MOST OF ALL... ANYBODY HAVE A SOLUTION?
Thanks much!

CDDB is at the root of all of this. While it is a VERY comprehensive database, it is not psychic, and cannot detect the contents of a burned CD the way a DVD Player can glean movie info from a DVD. The remedy to this is right after you burn the disc, before you eject it, click Advanced on your menu bar, and choose "Submit CD Track Names". This will put the CD info for your burned disc (even custom mixes) into the back end database at CDDB. What this means to you is while the CD info may not be searchable at gracenote's CDDB website, it IS in the database, and any time you put that CD in a computer with CDDB lookup enabled (with or without ID3 Tagging) the CD will show Track Names and Artist for every song you sent in as part of that disc. I have about 1500 of my CDs in there and anywhere I go to play or rip them, the info is always available, as long as I have an internet connection. If you burn the tracks in the same order as they were on a commercially purchased version of the CD there is no need to submit the track names. CDDB will recognize it as whatever "album" it was burned from.
