Getting MP3 comments tag to show in iTunes

Hi
It seems when writing an MP3 Comment tag that iTunes needs the language to be specified with the correct three character code, or else left unused.
However Windows which I am also trying to support requires the language of the comment to be specified moreover the comment won't be visible
unless the specified language matches with the language Windows  is running in. The solution for that is to define the language of the comment as xxx.
That means a messy solution is needed of writing two comments frames. Why I am asking here is to find out if iTunes accepts any three character codes for unspecified languge and if it could support xxx so that developers would not have to choose whether to support Windows or iTunes.

I can drag it to a playlist,
If it gets added to this playlist, it is in iTunes library.
Select it in iTunes, right click - Show in Finder to see where it is on your HD.
If it is not in the location shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced. make sure *Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library* is ticked.
Spotlight shows it residing in my Music Library,
What do you mean you *Music library*? There is no folder named *Music library*.

    You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar.  Hovering didn't do it.  Thanks for your help.  First time in Apple Support.

  • How do I get my new Mac to show all itunes music that shows up on my PC?

    My PC shows some 600 songs when I plug in my ipod, however when I plug in the ipod to my new mac, itunes shows only the 70 songs that I purchased--not the ones that I put on the ipod from old CD's etc.--many of which are no longer available to download. Obviously, I need all 600 songs to show on itunes in order to create playlists, delete songs, etc. Apple says that ONLY reinstalling all songs will work. Any other suggestions?

    You will need a program such as Senuti or PodWorks to transfer the other tunes back to the Mac.
    The iPod is one way affair except for purchase tunes/video.

  • How do i get iphone backup files to show in itunes?

    Hi.
    Ive recently had to start using another computer due to a component failure, and as a result managed to wiped my iphone of its original contents during an update on the 'new' computer. I have my old hard drive connected to this computer via a docking station, and can access all the files on it with no problems. I've deleted any itunes stuff on the 'new' computer so that the only apple/itunes stuff is on my old hard drive, but when i launch itunes, its not like it was when i left it. no music loaded in library etc. not a major issue as the music is all still on the hard drive. My issue is with the apps and back ups for my phone. I can view the folders with the back ups in, but they wont show in itunes. I'd love to restore my phone back to how it use to be.
    Can anyone help me out, as i'm at a brick wall with my knowledge level.
    thanks in advance
    Dave.

    You can open an alternate library by holding down shift when starting iTunes.
    A GUID is a Globaly Unique IDentifier. I this case I the backup folders appear to be named bunch of numbers & letters probably meant to be unique. If your original library opens properly (and you haven't wiped the device) then you don't need to worry about restoring the iPhone backups from the previous system.
    There's another GUID buried in the iTunes Library.itl that identifies your old library as the "home" library for your device. If you try to connect the device to a new library, even if it has all the same content, iTunes will want to wipe the device and start over. Not so much a problem for media but you might lose app settings. Best if you can connect properly to your old library, otherwise restoring from a preserved backup should restore your app data.

  • Tags not showing in iTunes

    I just purchased a iPod and I am using iTunes. When I add the folder where my mp3 files are stored to iTunes, none of the tags carry over for mp3 files that I have modified with the "edit tag" feature of my catalog progam Collector MP3. In iTunes, if I click on Info for the file, it shows that there is no tag information. However, the tags look fine when viewed in Collector MP3 which indicates that the tag version is ID3V2.3.

    Make sure your tags are V2.3, and remove any V1.x tags from the files. As long as the your don't move or rename the files, then iTunes should pick up the new settings the next time it tries to play the song or display the album art.
    If Dr. Tag won't take the v1.x tags out, then try ID3-TagIt.

  • Tag Cloud - how do I get the #hashtags tags to show in cloud?

    I've been playing around and added the Tag Cloud to my site. I have set it to "All users". I would have thought that it would pick up hashtags automatically - is this not the case? It has picked up some tags that I have added to pages (by
    going to the Page tab> Tags). How do I get hashtags added?

  • Can someone plz tell me how i can get my ipod nano to show on itunes

    it jus wont show IVE TRIED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok try and reset the ipod while it is plugged into the computer. Also you can try to use a different usb port and make sure that all other usb devices except the keyboard and the mouse are not plugged in. Also try and change the drive letter on the ipod. To change the drive letter type in on the search box on the support page "how to change the drive letter on the ipod." If none of these steps work type in on the support page "msconfig." You can also try and take the ipod to another computer to see if that works. If it shows up on another computer it may be a problem with your computer. If the ipod doesn't show up take the ipod to the nearest apple store, or contact technical support to set the ipod up for repair.

  • My purchased music does not show in iTunes on my new mac

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro.  The iTunes library was transferred over by the Apple store employees, but my purchased music does not show.  How can I get my purchased music to show in iTunes?  (I previously had a Windows PC).  Thank you!

    The 'Purchased' music is just a special Playlist. You can create your own and drag the links into the 'Purchased' PL.
    Using the command CMD-J you can add the Purchase date to your list view - sort by date - drag the tunes to the 'Purchased' PL.

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • How to get iShuffle mp3s to sync or show up in iTunes in W2K?

    Am using an iShuffle with Windows2000.  The latest version of iTunes that will install is v7.2.  v8 or higher insists I need a newer service pack, although I already have service pack 4 installed which is the newest version.
    1.  How do I access support 'express' if I dont know my serial number?  The iShuffle does not have a serial number written on it as the online helps says it should.  I have no idea where my original receipt or package went from years ago.  There really should be an option to continue to support without a serial number. 
    2.  How do I get music already on an iShuffle to show up in iTunes?  iTunes says it cant find the playlist associated with the iShuffle and the only option it presents is to erase the iShuffle and start over, which is stupid.
    3.  Alternatively, how do I get music onto the iShuffle that already has music on it but there is no playlist?  How do I make a playlist out of the music that is already on the iSHuffle? 
    I dont see the point in the playlist- why cant I just drag and drop mp3s onto the iShuffle, preferably without iTunes?

  • How do i get all the tags i see in the iTunes library to be the ID3 tags?

    I have a huge collection of mp3 in iTunes (the latest version), and they are all perfectly organized, but when i open those mp3 files in any other player i see old tags or no tags, because the id3 tags on the mp3 files are not the same as the ones i see on itunes. I've tried the "convert id3 tags" tool but it does not seem to help. How do i get the id3 tags to be the same as iTunes tags?

    +HEy any reason why you pick version 2.3,+
    itunes didn't work well with 3rd-party plugins and v2.4, and former forum regular Otto told me to use v2.3
    +what is the difference between the different id3 tag versions..+
    read up on it using google
