Capitalization in artist name different in iTunes and on iPhone

I recently found that when I change the capitalization of an artist's name in iTunes, that change does not carry over to my iPhone when I put the music on the phone.
For example, I had the artist Built to Spill classified as "Built To Spill" in iTunes, so I changed the artist name to "Built to Spill."
But when I put their albums onto my iPhone, it lists them as "Built To Spill" with the capital T, even though I changed it.
I'm not sure why my iPhone isn't recognizing the change in capitalization. I'm really nitpicky when it comes to organizing my music, so this is really annoying to me. Please help!

I also have the same problem as you. I changed "Panic! at the Disco" to "Panic! At the Disco" on my iTunes but it didn't change when it was synced on my iPhone. Help!

Sorting artist names different with English and German iTunes

I just got a iPod and theres only one thing that bothers me. I used to use OS X with English language and then artists are sortet after the name, ignoring the "the" in many names ("the Beatles" sorted under "B"). I recently switched the laguage to German and then all the artist with "the" in the name (like "the Beatles" ) are sorted under "T" in iTunes and on my iPod. Is is possible to change this? I want to use german language on my Mac, but I still want the artists names sorted like they used to be.
I´m using iTunes 7.0.2 and OS X 1.4.3.

You will want to refer to this article in the Apple Knowledge Base which explains the new sorting rules that have been introduced in recent versions of iTunes.
To workaround it, you will have to make use of the also recently introduced Sorting tab that is described at the bottom of the above-referenced article.
You can get "The Who" sorted as "Who" by entering Who in the Artist Sort field.
Information you enter in the Sort fields will not change what is displayed for those items, only how it is sorted.

Can't update the info for my music (e.g., artist names, ratings) on iTunes anymore.

I used to be able to update the info for my music (e.g., artist names, ratings) via iTunes, but it doesn't work anymore. In the past I'd change it in the music tab underneath my phone's tab. Using one band as an example, it's all spelled exactly the same on my computer in both music tabs (under my phone and on my computer), but it has various spellings still on my phone. Also, when I rate a song on my phone, it no longer shows when I plug into iTunes. I rate songs 1 star if I want to delete them later but it just doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

I agree that it should work. But for some reason it does not.

However, I don't understand why you want to keep songs with incorrect info and then correct them on the phone every time you add them to the phone. Most people would want to do it one time.

Artist name will not show up on iphone 5s

I have synced my iTunes correctly. On my iTunes, the artist name show up. On my iPhone it is labled as "unkonw artist". but when I play the song, it will scroll the name of the song and the name of the artist.
any ideas how to correctly put the album with the artist instead of the "unkown".
Like I said, on my iTunes on my iMac it is organized and labled perfectly.
On my iPhone, it is labled as "unknown artist", except when I hit play, it will display the artist name.

Thanks for all the quick replies. Much appreciated. The person who said go to your iTunes, highlight the songs in the album and make sure the part of a compilation was not clicked was genius.
oh wait, that was me.

Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

HT201263 Connection with Itunes and my Iphone 4s IOS7 is not possible.

Connection with Itunes and my Iphone 4s IOS7 is not possible. You can see in my iphone in windows explore. But still not the new Itunes for IOS7

Here's an odd fix that worked for me.(After trying restarting AMDS and uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes* to no avail.)
I swapped my current USB cable from it's usual port to one of the front ones. That prompted iTunes to, instead of stare blankly back at me, to force up the error message indicating it recognized an iPhone in Recovery Mode.
This switches iTunes to the Restore from backup screen and gets you back on your way.
* For anyone having trouble with files being in use when they try to manually delete the 'Common Files\Apple' folder, it works if you go into Safe Mode.

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.

After changing airport name its different in itunes and Ipod (Airplay related)

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 with an up to date 4th gen Ipod and Itunes.
What I did was move a airport base station from my garage into my kitchen. I renamed this airport to Kitchen in my airport utility. Right now it shows up as kitchen in the utility. If I open Itunes this airport is still named garage. If I go to use remote app in my ipod its garage too. I have resarted all devices, but nothing seems to change this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mac, and all who were kind enough to respond, I'm using the latest version of iTunes and iPod software, re the songs just few I recently added to my itunes library from elsewhere on my pc, no reason why the should not have synched to my ipod the same as the 3,500 or so that have done so already. Re capitalism, I'm all for it, makes the world go round, but not when it starts acting like something else. Think about this one, you buy a product, it malfunctions, you go back to the shop, the sales person says sorry, you cant talk to me but I'll give you the names of other customers who bought that product, contact them and see if they can help. That aint capitalsism, that's a joke and an abuse of market power.

Artists names duplicated in iTunes Library

I'm still using iTunes 6.5 on my system. I haven't upgraded yet and I don't know if I'll do. However, I have a question. Why do I have multiple listings for the same artist if only the album (CD) or source changes. For example, I may have three (3) listing for The Eagles for each album (CD). Shouldn't I have only one (1) listing for the Eagles, with all of the albums (CD) listed. IT's crazy, because when I want to select an artist, I have multiple listings instead of one.

You may have the artist name typed in multiple ways. For example, extra spaces may not show up or not be noticed, but iTunes will take each different name literally as a different artist. The solution, usually, is to select ALL the songs by the same artist at the same time. Now do a Get Info which you will be a get info for all of them at once. If the artist field is blank, then that confirms that you have alternate spellings (only fields that are the same for ALL the selected files will be shown with their filled in values). At this point, simply type in the artist name once in that field and hitting OK will apply that single spelling to ALL the selected files. You should now have everything under a single artist.

Artist name fail in iTunes 8

hello
since I downloaded iTunes 8, I have the following problem
in the main library, artist names are dissapeared, there is only one:
Collections.
When I change some albums in no collection instead of yes,
then iTunes separates every song from eachother, also within one album.
This means that it uses an unbelievable big list of songs because every song uses a lot of space because of the albumillustrations.
So there are two options:
with collections, there are no artist to sort fast
without collections, itunes uses very long lists (I have over 95GB music listed in itunes)
I didn't had this problem in uTunes 7, there everything was collection, so every album uses one album illustration, and the lists are short. Besides that I also had a long list of artists in main library.
Is this is bug in iTunes 8??

Hey there,
One thing you should check is to make sure the album is not listed as a compilation. To do this, highlight the all the songs from the album and right->click +Get Info+ from the Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and in the bottom right hand corner you will see "Part of a compilation" with a check box next to it. Make sure there is no check mark. If there isn't one, check it, and then uncheck it again and then hit Ok. See if that helps.

Music in itunes and on iPhone are different

I've just recently done the newest download for the iPhone 4, and now all of my music is different. The update changed my music on my phone but not in my library. So how do I fix it? For instance, something like a song from Spring Awakening, the library will read
Song: Mama Who Bore Me
Artist: SPRING AWAKENING
Album: Lea Michele
the iPhone will read
Song: Mama Who Bore Me
Artist:Duncan Shiek
Album: Lea Michele
The library is the right one, and it thinks the iPhone is saying the right thing, but when you go in and look, it's not. How to I get them to match???
If I delete the music, rename the artist and resync, it doesn't matter, the exact same thing happens.
What am I missing?!?!?!! It's driving me crazy!!!
Stupid Update!!!!

I’ve read reports from many other iTunes users who are having the same issue I am. Please read on...
When listening to songs that I purchased from iTunes (as opposed to those I imported from CD), several, but not all, of them stop playing prematurely several seconds (or even minutes) before the end of the tune. Playback jumps immediately to the beginning of the next tune.
I noticed this, I believe, shortly after moving my iTunes library to a new iMac (3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB memory) running iTunes 10.5.3 (3) on Mac OS 10.7.3. Everything was fine before the move.
Of the 283 purchased songs in my iTunes library, about 100 of them exhibit this behavior. The song playback times at which this happens range from 2:14 to 5:19.
What is interesting, is that tunes from the same album all end at the same playback time! For example, I purchased the whole album “River - The Joni Letters” (Herbie Hancock’s album covering a number of Joni Mitchell tunes). Every song from that album now stops playing at 3:39. The same happens with other tunes that happen to be from the same album, too. I have no idea why this would be the case, but it certainly seems significant.
Another interesting finding, is that if I copy one of tunes exhibiting this issue to the desktop and play it from there, the song plays all the way through to the end without a problem. This would, I think, rule out a corrupt file and tend to point to iTunes itself as the source of the problem.
The problem certainly is annoying, and it would be great if we could find some resolution and get back to enjoying our music without the mind-jarring bump that too often now happens without warning.
Sincerely,
Michael Loomis
