Garbage characters in iTunes when copying songs in chinese language

I copied some English and Chinese songs from my external harddisk to iTunes. Instead of displaying the artists and song name in simplified/traditional chinese for the Chinese songs, it is showing garbage characters. The English songs are displaying correctly. What should I do?

Tried to convert ID3 tag(all ID3 versions and reverse unicode) but still doesn't work.
They may need to be converted to Unicode from a legacy chinese encoding. Try ConvertZ

How do I keep iTunes from copying songs from iCloud to playlist?

Why is iTunes copying songs from iCloud to playlist when I already have the songs on my computer? This is obvously redundant and just duplicates songs I already have. How do I just drag over songs from my Library to my playlist without copying them from ICloud??

Posting just a question mark, which was all that was contained in your post subject line and body when I replied, did indeed stump me, as it would have anyone without psychic powers. Now that you've posted an actual question, someone may be able to help you.

Itunes not copying songs to Ipod

I had to reinstall itunes a few weeks ago, since then I've been unable to copy songs from itunes, it recognises my ipod but can't move any songs to it.
I've tried resetting everyting, reinstalling everything, nothing works.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks

Are you sure that your preferences are at the correct setting?
Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod -> Music".
On either of the "automatic" settings, iTunes should automatically update the songs from either the library or a playlist (depends on the setting) to your iPod.
On the "manual" option, you'll have to manually transfer songs to your iPod, by simply going to the iTunes library, selecting the songs you want on your iPod, and drag-and-drop them over into your iPod's name in the left source area of iTunes.
If you still can't transfer sogns from iTunes to your iPod, then try a restore on your iPod.

ITunes match matched songs to wrong language

iTunes match has matched some of my Indian songs to wrong language. Many of the big budget movies these days are releasing their movies in several languages at the same time and making them all available to purchase from iTunes store. When I ripped a CD I already had, iTunes matched some of them into a wrong language. Name of the song is still showing original, but the actual track is in wrong language.
Is there any way I can force iTunes to re-match?

Songs that are ineligible because they are too low of a bit rate can be converted to a higher bit rate by right-clicking and creating either an AAC or MP3 version. Mind you, the quality will NOT improve; in fact it could degrade a little, but the songs will indeed be re-encoded at a higher bit rate. Once iTunes recognizes that they are encoded at a high enough bit rate, they will no longer be ineligible. And they greatest part is, if they are matched by iTunes, then not only will you have them in the iCloud, but you will be able to delete the original song files (do not select the option to delete them from iCloud) and re-download the matched songs from iTunes in far greater quality.

Problem when displaying smartform in chinese language

Hi ,
I have copied a standard smart form into Z smartform and added few fields in it as per the requirement .
When I display form in english or german it prints correctly .
when I print it in Chinese it prints the workarea name which I am using to print the values of the fileds .
it prints as below
&wa_vbak-budat&
please help , I tried changing the font type and size but it still shows the same.
Regards,
Gayatri Hemnur

Hi Gouri,
The first step for translation is that u have to change the regional settings in your computer. Or You should logon with Chinese language.
If you have done that already, i think the problem may be that in the reoport the length of the field is smaller than the space required for the chinese characters.
Even if it is done i think you can try doing this, go to se63 translate the field once again and save it. I think this should solve your problem.

Error when copying songs from cd to hard drive

When I switched from a windows computer to a mac, I copied all of my itunes songs on to a data cd. When I insert the cd into my mac and try to copy the songs onto my hard drive, I get an error saying "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)". I am pretty sure that you can copy as many songs, to as many computers as you want, but you can only authorize five computer to play the songs. Why is this error popping up? and How can I copy my songs?
Thank You, Margaret

"Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)"
This means the data on the disc is not correct (a bad burn). Try again.
Do you have an iPod or a USB stick.flash drive? You can transfer files that way.
I would not recommend burning them to an audio CD.
The songs were originally converted to AAC, thereby losing data (quality).
Wif you burn to an audio CD and then reimport as AAC, you will again lose data (quality).

Hello all. I just purchased the iphone 4s and i was interested to know if you have to pay again when copying songs purchased on another iphone

I used to have an iphone 3G, i have a lot of purchased items so I was interested to know that when putting them onto my iphone4s using the icloud will i need to pay for them again? i know it sounds silly because youve already paid for the song, but i just wanted to be sure. Many thanks

I am using the same iTunes account, its straight from the 'purcased' part off the store.

I copy songs into playlists that I create. And when I sync my iPod, the songs disappear. How do I stop this from happening?

I have an iPod nano version 1.0.4. I've created playlists on my iTunes and copied songs into them. But whenever I sync my iPod nano, the songs disappear from the playlists. They stay in the main library, however. Does anybody know of a way to keep them from disappearing from my playlists?

It's a plain old playlist (with a folder icon next to it). One more fact to complicate things. I just had my hard drive replace under a recall from Apple. Before I replaced it, plain old playlists worked fine.
But I may have just solved the problem. When I was having the problem, I was creating the playlists by going into the "File" tab and clicking "New Playlist Folder". This time I clicked the + sing in the lower left hand corner of the iTunes window. Instead of a file folder icon, there's now a musical note. And the songs now seem to be staying. I'll also play with the smart playlists and see if that help too. Thanks B-Rock for inspiring me to explore a bit more.

ITunes is changing song titles and artists

iTunes appears to be infrequently and randomly changing the artist and song title tags of music in my library. I usually just put my music on random shuffle, so it can take me a long time to actually identify errors -- like when I listen to music from a particular artist, or when I happen to glance at iTunes when a song iTunes has mis-re-named is playing. So far, the errors seem to confined within single albums at a time, but that might just be because of the circumstances of me identifying the errors.
In the first case I noticed a while back, an album with six songs had their titles all jumbled up. Each song was titled with an incorrect song title from the same album. The artist, album, and genre tags all remained correct. In the most recent case, two songs from a compilation album had their artist and song title tags overwritten with the info from a third track on the same album (so I ended up with three songs with the same title and artist).
Any idea what might be causing this apart from a crappy coding?

If iTunes and WMP are referencing the same copy of the MP3, then a tag change in one will be reflected in the other. If that is not what you want, you will need separate copies of the song.
Being picky, iTunes will write it's changes to the tag immediately (unless the file is locked as read-only) whereas WMP may choose to do it at some later point in time unless you use an option to "Apply media information changes". WMP will generally notice automatically that another appliation has modified the tag and updates it's library accordingly whereas iTunes only spots the change if it accesses the tag for some reason.
If you want WMP & iTunes to play nicely together you are best off disabling the WMP options for "Rearrange music in the rip folder..." and "Automatic media information update..." (you can still do so manually). I also find it best to change the WMP rip folder to the same as the iTunes Music folder. Letting iTunes "Keep the music folder organised" is a matter of choice (I choose not) but at least WMP can cope if your files get shuffled around by iTunes whereas the reverse is not the case.

Why can't I copy songs? ...

We have OSX Yosemite, and we have 5 iPhones in the house (4 5s models, and a 6).
We have a combo of songs purchased via iTunes and music we imported from CDs we own.
Frequently I simply can't get iTunes to copy songs to our phones. Many times I will attempt to drag music from the library to a phone connected via Lightning cable. Either nothing happens, or the iTunes status flashes quickly and the song never gets copied. The only way I've been able to get around this is to delete every single song on the phone and start over. This usually works, until a few weeks later when I connect a phone again and have the same problem.
Any idea what the problem could be? I've been using iTunes on Windows then Mac for many years and this type of problem seems to be getting worse.
Also, often when I plug in my phone and then look at the music on the phone via iTunes, about half of the songs are grayed out and half a dashed circle in front of them. What does that mean, and why does it happen?
Thanks very much in advance
p.s. I never want to automatically sync anything, all I want to do is drag songs manually from iTunes to my iPhone.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem. Songs from my own CDs have the red circle with the slash through it when I try to copy them to my iPhone!!

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50). I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again
