Genre tags don't update

I've noticed that when I update movie genres in iTunes those changes aren't sync'ed to AppleTV.
Is there a way to force it to update meta-tags? (Hopefully without re-synching everything.)
Thanks,
Dave

Changes you make to synced items should update immediately, if they don't check that you haven't opted to disable the automatic sync in iTunes prefs/tv. If they still don't update after a sync, try Repopulating iTunes

Sort Artist and Sort Album tags don't update

Having spent a lot of time over the years getting the metadata in my iTunes library just right, I've noticed a frustrating problem when it comes to iTunes Match.
I make use of 'Sort Artist' and 'Sort Album Artist' tags so that my library is sorted by artist surname (eg. Lennon, John).
This always worked correctly when I syncronised my music via iTunes, but since switching over to iTunes Match this has become problematic.
When I initially signed up for iTunes Match, my Library moved over correctly - honouring the sort order tags that I had added. However, When I add NEW music to the library and subsequently change the sort tag, the change does not propegate to iTunes Match (Though it does appear correct in iTunes on my Mac). So the result is now a mixed sort order on my iOS devices - some by first name and some by second.
Under iOS 5.0 and iTunes 10 I used to be able to get around this with a little forethought - I would turn iTunes Match OFF on the Mac before adding any new songs, then I would edit the tags and then switch Match back on. This would rescan the library and add the new tracks to the cloud complete with correct metadata.
This workaround no longer works under iOS 6 and iTunes 11.
I have tried switching iTunes match off on my iPhone and restarting it. This does not work either.
Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way to 'force' the metadata to be updated?
Any help would be appreciated.

I also am finding it impossible to convince my iPhone that the Album Sort field exists. This is especially odd considering when I view my Home Shared music from my iPhone, it works exactly correctly. I have verified that the tags are being uploaded to iTunes Match by viewing the songs from another computer that has iTunes Match. So, for some reason, iOS 6 will not sort by the Album Sort field when using iTunes Match music.
Does anyone have any sort of fix or workaround for this problem? I've submitted Feedback to Apple.

Auto updating of radio station genre tag

I listen to several radio stations streaming via iTunes. I've made a playlist of them for convenience. However, I don't like it that iTunes automatically updates the genre each time I play a station. Some of them have long, annoying genre's listed (eg: Alternative, Eclectic, Pop, Rock, AAA, Mixed) which shows up in my genre list in my library.
Any tricks on how to prevent automatic updating of the genre tag?
Thanks,
Keith

Dose anyone know if the auto installation of JRE
dependent on entry contained within the J2se tag will
be flexible enought so that the JRE is downloaded from
within the intranets web server instead of from SUN.I have not managed yet to even have a successful autodownload from the Sun web site.
More, the URL from the jnlp spec is different from a recent doc on java.sun.com:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&thread=71021
From what I read from the jnlp spec, section 6.4, the server uses the extension protocol to serve JREs.
So you must write a cgi script or servlet that decodes the extension protocol to find out what version of the JRE for what operating system and what architecture is requested.
I have not tested this. If you manage to confirm that this mechanism works, please tell here in the forum.
Another idea we are playing with is to put the JRE
installer in a .jar file sign it and place it in a
native directory dependent on the platform its
targeting and have the client check the JRE version.Sounds complicated. I believe you will have to use the installer support API of Web Start to achieve this.
Shortcuts, why on a second run, and not default a
first run, on testing on our end users, they cannot
understand after starting the application from the
browser that they need to back and press the web
button again or start web start. (From an interactive
system design point of view - and the studying of our
end users, it would be a lot less confusing for the
end user).IMHO Web Start needs some additional tweaking, before it can be used for deployment for Win32 boxes where users are no admins. At present one must trick, like providing a Java technology based extension installer.

I´m a frequent user of personalized tags on my contacts. When I update to iOS7.0.2, my tags don't appear on alphabetical order as they were on the other system. I already made a restoration of the system and it didn't work. Is there any way to fix them?

Tags won't update

Hello,
I'm a DJ and I use Traktor as my DJ software and iTunes to manage my MP3 collection.
Sometimes when I update a genre i Traktor, iTunes won't update the tag. Sometimes it does. I checked the file in another software, and the change is there, but not in iTunes.
I downloaded a script called "Refresh", but it won't work. I removed the track and re:added it. Same problem.
This happens every 20 MP3s or so, but it's a major problem because I use Smart Playlists and want that genre change to be updated.
Please help me with this problem!

I know I could always rip them back to my computer and then use a seperate program, but I'd like to fix this problem because it's easier in iTunes
Any reason you do not keep your music in iTunes and update it there?
What will you do when your iPod crashes (it will) and you need to Restore it, therefore deleting everything on it?
I used to be able to update genre tags, however it won't allow me
No idea. Can't say I have seen this before.

Updating Comment Tag does not update file metadata

Hi,
If anyone has the answer to this question i'd really appreciate it. I've been through all my songs in ITunes 8 (8.0.0.35)and removed all the comments in the 'Comment' column. However when you view the details in Windows (right click on the file, select properties, then choose summary) the comments still exist.
Note: updating the artist, album, title, genre etc seems to update ok.
I've tried upating the ID3 tag version to version 2.4 on a couple of tracks and this didn't solve the problem.
Thanks

I'm using the same version (8.0.0.35) and I'm running into the same problem. I have the feeling that the comment tag is the only one with this problem.
Before this version, I could change the comment in iTunes (and see it reflected in WinAmp/Windows Explorer) or change it in WinAmp (and iTunes would reflect the changes).
Now this is not true anymore. *Is iTunes using a new version of IDv2 ?* Not supported by other apps ?
This is a major problem for me. I just lost 100s of comments, and even if I put them back who do I know this won't happen again ?
Anybody ?

My new iPod has now crashed and is unusable after updating it. Don't update. I just lost the only good thing I have because of them pushing me into it.

My new iPod has been updated. I was pushed into it. So then I thought "it could use one it could improve it". I read as much as the terms and conditions as I could read that was understandable. And now it's been less then two days and my iPod is now practically useless. Don't update your iPod. It was the only good thing I had. I pleded and pleded to my parents for weeks and save up for weeks to get one. And now it's not even a year old and I've lost it. I can't afford to get a new one. And I can't afford to loose this one. i worked hard every day all day For months to be able to even get a quarter of what i needed. And my parents agreed to pay for the rest and it was my Christmas present. i was extremely happy. It's the best thing that I have and I've lost it because of an update Apple pushed me into. Now they won't help me.
my iPod is freezing every 5-10 minutes for long periods of time. It is:
freezing
the keyboard board is lacking severely
lags through out ipod
i cannot play games as it lags then freezes.
my screen is pressing where I don't press it.
it becomes very excruciatingly slow
I Cannot write to fast or it freezes and i have to re start
Im not getting told when I have notifications (such as emails)
i cannot use facebook, games, Safari. Email, messenger and a few others with out my iPod crashing.
i Cannot use the iPod properly at all.
it can take up to 10 minutes for my camera to work. It usually takes 1 minute or more.
the camera freezes or wont take a photo when I press
it freezes on panorama or worn take panoramas.
it has trouble even trying to get the lock screen up.
and best of all of it. I can never tell when I'm going to be screwed by Apple.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

TS4083 My folders that message rules divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder for it to update. Is there a way around this? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail

My folders that my message rules on iCloud divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder individually for it to update. A real pain as I have about 30 folders. Is there a way around this ? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail without having to select each one of them. Can the iPad and iPhone do the same thing?

My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years). I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely.
Is this what I have to do?
Thanks for your help!
