Changing Song Info From iPhone

Is it possible to change the genre of songs from the iPhone itself or do I have to do it from my computer and then sync the iPhone?

I don't think it's possible to make the change on the phone. I've never seen anywhere to do it.

  • Change song info on my I Pad Mini

    How can I change song info on my Mini I Pad ...
    Has Apple fixed this problem ... ?
    All I seem to be able to do is Delete a tune ...

    Are you plugging in every night, locking the iPad and connected to WiFi? Are you meeting all three requirements?
    Well that is what I do and it works for me because I can see the next day that the new backup shows in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Backup Now. If you look at my screenshot - you will see that I experimented to make sure that it would work. I responded on July 3 at 12:24 PM when you posted. Then I locked the iPad, plugged it in and waited for about 30 minutes before I unlocked the iPad to see if it backed up. The screenshot shows the backup was completed at 12:44 PM on July 3.
    I also backup with iTunes and I almost never auto backup. I just initate the back up on my own. But the instructions that I posted are right from the settings. You can read it for yourself in the screenshot.
    You do have to wait for at least 24 hours before the next backup will take place, but if you are getting a message that you haven't backed up a week later, I can't explain that.
    Dont trust that message. Look and see what the date of the last backup was. That's the only way to know for sure.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically "correcting" song info from the iTunes Store?

    I frequently rename songs that I download from the iTunes Store for various reasons. For example, when I bought Pet Shop Boys' album Electric on CD, I changed the album name of the pre-release single "Vocal" from "Vocal - Single" to "Electric", and also changed the track numbers to reflect its position on the album. The track grouped with the other tracks that I had copied from the CD, and everything seemed fine.
    However, at random times, I have found that iTunes will attempt to "correct" my changes, leading to some very bizarre circumstances. With Electric, after having the album appear correctly for over two months, it suddenly messed up. The album was still labelled as "Electric", but it appeared in alphabetical order under V, as if all of the tracks had "Vocal - Single" in the album field. It also changed Vocal to track 1, which would be correct for the single, but not for the album. I changed everything back, and while it was fixed on iTunes, the problem persisted on my iPhone - this time, creating two duplicate albums both organized under "Vocal - Single", with an interface that looked like the artist view rather than the album view. I had to delete the album completely from my iPhone and re-sync it to make the changes carry over. This has happened before with other albums where I combine iTunes Store tracks with tracks ripped from CD.
    This has also occurred when I've tried to compile multiple albums, this time entirely bought from the iTunes Store, into one album. To use another Pet Shop Boys example, there were three EP-style singles released on iTunes in support of the album Elysium. Rather than having two or three tracks each labelled as "Winner - EP", "Leaving - EP", and "Memory of the Future - EP", I reorganized them into one album called "Elysium: B-sides", and set each EP as "discs" 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Again, this worked for several months, and then, at the same time as when Electric messed up, iTunes renamed all of the tracks as "Winner - EP" and changed all of my track listings to match the original EPs they had come from. As I clicked "Get Info" on each track in iTunes however, the information snapped back to what I had input, but it was still slightly corrupted and had to be redone in order to get it back in the correct alphabetical and chronological order in my library. Even after I changed everything back, it wouldn't return to correct alphabetical order on my iPhone until I added "Elysium: B-sides" to the "Sort Album" field.
    This is not a new issue. I've had the same problem with other iTunes Store downloads under earlier versions of iTunes, OSX, and iOS. The "corrections" always seem to occur randomly. Is this automatic renaming a "feature"? And if so, how do I turn it off so I can organize the music that I've bought the way I want to?

    Hi Mhwal.  I think this may help you.
    Here's a test for you to try.
    Make sure your iTunes library is updated with your edited album names; 
    Find a song on your iPhone where the album name is incorrect; 
    Delete the song from your iPhone; 
    On your iPhone go to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and tap your Apple ID (highlighted in blue). 
    Tap "Sign Out"; 
    Go back to your iTunes library and select the song/album that you want back on your iPhone; 
    The iPhone should now show your edited album tag; 
    Once your done you can sign back to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and sign back in.  Your edits will hold.
    In addition, this also works with artist pictures.  I did not like the stock images iTunes associated with my artists - I wanted album art instead.  After you sign out of your Apple ID, when you move a song/album from your iTunes library to your iPhone the FIRST album you move over will be associated with that artist.
    For example, I have seven AC/DC albums but I want the cover of "Back in Black" to be associated with AC/DC on my iPhone's artist listing.  After I've signed out of my Apple ID, I transfer "Back in Black" to my iPhone and then the other six albums in any order.  "Back in Black" will be the album picture associated with AC/DC on the artist page.
    Just remember, after your changes you can sign back into iTunes through "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and your changes to edited albums and artist cover art should hold.
    I hope this helps!

  • Changing Song info on External HDD through iTunes

    I new to iTunes 11 , I explore many things in it but I have some problem with organizing songs . I have some question , so please help me throughout this .
    1) So first of all i Don't know from where i get these two files in every of my music folder (Folder.jpg & AlbumArt.jpg)
    I want to remove these files, I simply want to know that this will change any music info like the album art for the album name .
    2) I am having very limited space on  my MacBook air 128 GB and have 8 Tb external HDD . So I generally import only 20 GB of songs in my iTunes library and other my songs remain on my external HDD . So that I can transfer music to my iPod . Simply when I change wrong info about my songs in iTunes does that remain when I copy iTunes music to any other place . Or how can I change music info which I have an external HDD permanently so that I don't have to change when I every time when i add them to my other system iTunes . Simply I want to change info in itunes as well as on its original mp3.
    Please Help me thorughout this .

    Well, you cannot change the fact that iTunes needs to access the actual song file in order to play it. How else could it play it?
    So, you will always have to have your exHD plugged in BEFORE you open iTunes.
    If you can't edit song info when the exHD is plugged in and iTunes can find the file, then your operating system permissions are not set correctly.

  • ITunes 12 changes song info

    Hi,
    iTunes 12 is changing my song info after I've played the song. In Edit/Preferences/Store, I have un-ticked all the boxes including 'Share details about your library with Apple'. I tried disconnecting from the internet then played a song but it still changed the info which makes me think the info is stored somewhere locally on my computer.
    Everything has been fine until today when it just suddenly started doing this. Hopefully someone knows how to fix this
    Thanks,
    Mark

    So when playing anything I just get this a the top which doesn't seem quite right looking at the screenshots I've seen with track info and a small album thumbnail on the left?

  • How do I delete songs & podcast from iPhone using iTunes on new MacBook Pro

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro after years of using PC.
    First thing I have to say is that I love it. I've had a couple of problems here-and-there but these have been teething issues which these discussion boards have mostly helped me resolve... I have been unable to resolve this one issue though which I was hoping that someone could help me with....
         I have plugged my iPhone into my new Mac and let it appear in iTunes but when I attempt to delete old songs or podcasts from the iPhone it does not let me delete them... I've tried holding control and clicking on the items- hoping that delete would be an option, but it isn't. Also I've notice that delete is not one of my options in the edit tab at the top of iTunes.
          I understand that I can delete individual podcasts and albums/songs through the iPhone itself by swiping right and selecting delete but when I do this for All individual episodes of a podcast then the main header for the "show" still remains...
    Would love if someone could help me with this- need to be able to manage the songs and podcast on my iPhone.
    Thankyou for your time.

    "Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
    The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
    "  Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
    You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
    "And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
    I understand completely.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Cant change song info on new ios update

    ok ever since i updated to iOS5 i cant change the song info on my ipod touch when i change the info on itunes?!?! it syncs but song info dosnt change ie. the song name,album.

    check out does iTunes detect song codec and ID3-tag is v.2.3 or 2.4. If iTunes shows that it's unknow, you can't change tag ..... it's a bug which appeared in 10.5.x 
    I have the same problem when dropping songs into device, but there is a solution, convert songs in mp3 or other format, use, for example, Xilisoft Audio Converter Pro. So, I've lost over 1 Tb music I have underlined a string where you can see name of codec.

  • Importing Playlist/Song Info from Ripped CD

    A buddy of mine makes compilation disks of music from his iTunes library. When I put his CD in my computer, it shows up in iTunes with no information (just Track 1, Track 2, etc.). I have to fat-finger all the song information into my library.
    Since his compiles these CDs in iTunes, I know he can export the CD playlist to XML, but how can I import the playlist information and attach it to the CD? In that way, when I import the music to my iTunes library, I'll already have the song info.
    I think the CDs can be submitted to CDDB or Gracenotes or some such database, but I'm not sure if that's possible or even a better solution. Thanks.
    iMac 20" G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    He should be able to submit it to Gracenotes (CDDB) database and then your computer should find the tracklisting when you put it on your iTunes. There is a menu item (under the Advanced menu) to submit track listings).

  • Changing song info?

    Is it possible to change the song info in Itunes? For some reason the groups are not all correct so I have rock, ROCK, and Rock. I would like to be able to change these so they are all the same and my Ipod will group them all together.

    You can actually access the "Get Info" screen by Right-clicking, and selecting Get Info. Plus, selecting work like anything else.
    If you select one item, then an item further down the list while holding SHIFT, all items inbetween and including those two will be selected. Then right click somewhere in that selection and select Get Info. Any info you edit will apply to all of those items. Any fields that are blank, mean they are different across items.
    If you want select multiple items, but bit by bit, you can hold CONTROL, and select multiple items that way too. Then right click any selected item and go to Get Info like before.

  • Changing song info in Itunes and the actual file names

    How can I change the song info in iTunes and make it change the actual file names?
    It gets a bit tiring after every single time iTunes updates I have to re-organize my 3000+ songs. I tried to do a quick search for an answer in the forums but I wasn't exactly sure what I should search for so sorry if this is a duplicate post.
    Is this possible? (does this make sense?)
    Thanks!

    I have the option checked and I made several changes to the ablums name and song names for several songs in my library. iTunes changed the files to the new folder names and renamed the files.
    The only problem is that I have empty folders of the old album names.

  • Transfering contacts and calendar info from iPhone to PC

    I inadvertently deleted my contacts and calendar from my Outlook. The info is still on my iPhone. Is there a way to transfer that info from my iPhone to Outlook. For some reason, it did not work when I synced the two.

    Create at least one contact and calendar entry in Outlook (make something up). Make sure that Contacts and Calendars are checked to sync (on the Info tab in iTunes with the iPhone connected). You should see a prompt to merge or replace data - choose MERGE. That will transfer your contacts from the phone to Outlook. If that doesn't work, reset your sync history (iTunes > Edit menu > Devices tab) then try syncing again.

  • Problem Changing Song Info On IPod

    For some songs, I do not like the title/album/artist listed on the Ipod. I have tried changing the info by using the "Get Info" function in Itunes, and multiple times I have deleted these songs and put them back onto the IPod. However for some songs even though the information in the "Get Info" section is how I want it to be on the Ipod, it still loads onto the Ipod with the wrong information. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there another place to change the song info? (I have also changed the song info in the "Properties" section of the file on the harddrive but this doesn't fix the problem either.) Any thoughts?

    You can click on the info you want to change and then click again. DON'T double click,though.Then just type in the info. A problem I ran into was if you have different names in the album info you will find it harder to browse. For example, I typed "Word" on one selection and "The Word" on another. They ended up on different locations when browsing.
