Grace notes track information

Another question regarding the loathsome Itune 11 "upgrade". Whereas I used to be able to find the grace note track information effortlessly, now I have tracks that I have loaded into Itunes from CD's that I have purchased - and not thankfully from Itunes - and I wish for the information pertaining to those tracks to be included. How do I do that now? (which is to say why was every aspect of my use of the previous Itunes find itself elminated from the infernal iTunes 11?)

Hey Joel Hinman,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are referring to the following setting in iTunes General preferences:
iTunes 11 for Mac: iTunes General preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12259
Automatically retrieve CD track names from Internet
Automatically display song and artist names when you insert an audio CD. (To retrieve track names, you must be connected to the Internet.)
Additionally, see the following article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: If you don’t see song information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12280
Thanks,
Matt M.

Track information not recognised

Quite a large chunk of my MP3 collection has been imported into iTunes but it does not recognise the track information (i.e. just shows track title & that's it). I know these tracks have Artist/Album etc info as they show up in File Properties. Why does iTunes not recognise them & how can I resolve this?

HT204406 Trying to copy a cd I own and this same cd is in the itunes store. Itunes will not autofill the track information

The album is Voxis - Darkeworld. I'm trying to copy this album into Itunes and Itunes will NOT auto fill any of the Information. I did check in the itunes store and the album is there. The digital copy is missing tracks 22-95.

iTunes gets track information for imported CDs from Gracenote, not the iTunes Store. Go to the General preferences in iTunes and make sure that the option to automatically retrieve track names is checked. If it is, it's possible that Gracenote doesn't have that CD in their database, or can't correctly identify and match up the CD. Your system or network may also be blocking access to Gracenote in the firewall.

How to show individual track information (like in the old iTunes) of a single artist (or that artist's album) without all the noise of every single other artist close in the alphabet?

The new iTunes has truly added extra visual noise.
I am trying to view a single Artist and the individual track information of that artist. This used to be how itunes was, you could click on a single artist and then the tracks would all have their various categories.
I can still see this but only in the "songs" category and in that I have to see every single song or artist alphabetically.
How do I simply see the artist, and that artist's tracks, as well as the different info about that track I want to see, such as "name, track #, time, year, genre, bit rate, kind, etc."
Please don't counsel me on what information I need to see, or suggest that I stop caring about this, or ask me why I want to see this various info.
It was simple and accessible in the older version and I would probably stop complaining to all of my friends about the latest version of itunes if I can see this old format.
Or... is there a way to re-download the old version? It's okay that you've made mistakes, every company makes mistakes, if I can revert to the old version that would be great.
Thank you.

Select the Songs tab, then under iTunes Menu select View then click Show Column Browser. You will see the familiar GENRES ARTISTS ALBUMS header, click on one artist and you will have only the artist's albums and songs showing in the window below with all the specific info you selected under View options. If this is not what you wanted, simply reply with a nice "no thanks".
Search this forum for instructions to reinstall iTunes 10.7, there are quite a few posts explaining the process.

ITunes no longer automatically searching Grace Note DB

For some reason my iTunes has stopped automatically searching for song titles in the Grace Note DB. It gets the songs when I tell it to retireve them but no longer does it as soon as I put the disc in the machine.
I am running on Windows XP and haven't downloaded iTunes 7.0 yet.

Have a look at the iTunes Edit menu > Advanced tab > Importing sub-tab and see if Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet is checked or not.

Where is the Safari 5.0.5 "Do Not Track" setting?

The WSJ -- as well as most of the Apple Interest sites -- have promised that there would be a "Do Not Track" setting in the new version of Safari -- namely, and specifically, 5.0.5. For what it's worth, I can't find it. It's not in the "Preferences" settings; there's no privacy tab there at all, actually; it's also not referenced in the Help menu system; and finally, there's no sign of it in the Apple Site. In fact, the only references are all from these 3rd Party groups, starting with the Wall Street Journal.
I'm guessing it may be there somewhere -- the new Firefox actually does have the setting, but it's very difficult to find. Sort of a grudging attitude, I'd say. "You can have it if you can find it, but we're sure not going to help you find it."
Google Chrome, of course, doesn't have it at all: how could they? They make all their money off selling all the information/using all the information they can, in their advertising business model.
So.....I'm guessing that Safari -- in spite of the promises -- doesn't have the "Do Not Track" option, at least not yet. If you can find it, please let me know.
Thanks.

Oh, if your really want to block things you can add a block list to your Hosts file.
1: Download the free Text Wrangler
2: Copy the entire text of this web page:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
3: Paste into Text Edit
4: Remove line: (important!!)
127.0.0.1 localhost
5: Use Find and Replace change all instances of
127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0
6: Save the file onto your desktop for now, any name will do. Leave file open in Text Edit.
7: Launch Text Wrangler and File Open By Name: /etc/hosts
8: Touch nothing you see there (very important)
9: Text Edit and Select all/copy
10: Text Wrangler, mouse to the bottom of the file (add some returns) and click paste.
11: Save the Text Wrangler /etc/hosts file, it will ask for your Admin password.
That's it. you just added a computer level block to all the current malicious sites on the Internet, along with ads, trackers and other nasty business.
All you have to do is update that portion of the /etc/hosts file every few months using the same methods above without deleting the original /etc/hosts file contents.
You shoudl save a copy of the original /etc/hosts file just in case you delete it by accident.
If you want to block any site on the Internet, just add a line and (example, like so) 0.0.0.0 www.facebook.com
If you want to unblock a site just put a # symbol in front of any line for the comptuer to "ignore this line"
What this does is resolves the domain name for certain malicious/ad sites before it asks your Domain Name Server for the correct IP of these sites.
Because you use 0.0.0.0 it's "nothing" and the site fails to load.
Note: All responsiblity is yours if you screw things up or have any problem using this method to block sites.

Yesterday it stated "delivery successfully' even I haven't received the package! And still nothing today!! Hope it is not lost or somewhere! It is horrible that the tracking information can give the wrong information like mine, never before like this one.Last year something very similar happened to me. It was an expensive item (well for me, over $300.) For some reason I checked the tracking one morning..... and had a melt down when I saw it had supposedly been "delivered" the day before. I'd been at home the day before and no postie had delivered anything. In the heart of an Ottawa winter, there I was outside, looking for the parcel in our the garden. Digging through mounds of snow ...a sorry sight. Well guess what? It was delivered without a problem within a day or two of the premature "delivered" tracking info. I hope yours will arrive on Monday. I know it is quite distressing to think something might have been delivered to the wrong address. I wish I had never checked the tracking info because my imagination started getting the better of me. If nothing arrives by Wed, contact Canada Post and see what they say since the problem is on their end. Good luck!

How do I update/refresh track information for mp3 files already on my the comput

I recently started using MediaSource after buying a Zen Touch and noticed that one (possibly more, I haven't screened all the?files I've burned) of the CD directories doesn't show the track information in MediaSource. I don't know why, when I go to the file directly on my computer all the information is there. I thought correcting the problem would be a simple matter of identifying the tracks without information and getting Gracenote to tag them, but I can't find any way to do this, and I've spent a lot of time looking.
In searching this forum I've found other users with similar problems but no solution. To keep this simple, I will ask the question in the most direct manner I can:?How do I get track information for mp3 files already on my computer?Please note that I'm not asking how to get track information for CD's I'm burning, these are files that have been on my computers for years. Can somebody please help? I'm quite frustrated that what I thought would be an easy to apply feature of MediaSource is proving so difficult.

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Make sure that your current ID is set in there.

Proof of deliver past USPS 120 day available tracking information

An issue on an ebay selling forum has come to my attention that I would like clarification on. Some ebay sellers have had buyers claim INR through PayPal after the 120 day cutoff of USPS online tracking availability. The seller purchases a shipping label with tracking. The tracking number shows delivered. 120 days go by, and the post office removes the tracking information. PayPal claims have a 180 window. Buyer claims INR after 120 days because online tracking information is no longer available. The issue has been addressed on ebay seller forums several times and was brought up in a weekly chat with an ebay employee. His answer is that it is a PayPal issue, and ebay can do nothing to help. Is there a resolution to this problem, or are sellers going to have to drop PayPal from accepted payments. There are already more options out there. I use three different forms of online payment. Dropping PayPal would not be that much of a problem anymore.

Your best bet is to contact customer services direct with this question. You can't drop paypal on ebay i think its mandatory but you can of course on other sites. If you hear back can you come back and update? To be honest I don't think they can do a lot about it as they have bought in the 180 days to match the credit cards as a buyer can do a chargeback up to 180 days after paying. So if a buyer funds their paypal payment with a credit card (which I always do) then you will still get the same problem. Good luck. **************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

TS1468 Why can't I edit album track information in the INFO window, and more to the next track without having to do each track seperate?

In iTunes 10, I could edit multiple track information in the (Info) tab and click to move to the next track within that album. Now with iTunes 11.1.3.8, I have to do each track seperate. It will not let me edit track information (as if track numbering), and click next to move to another track within the same album. It's a pain to have to do each song , and then click on the next song I want to edit. My music library is 171 GB (47,185 files & 19,498 folders). I can find the Duplicate files, but I can't edit like I use to in iTunes 10. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreicated!!!!! I will be an old man at the rate I'm going now.

Either select a single track, Get Info, then use the Next/Previous buttons to move between them, or select multiple tracks, Get Info, and edit common properties. The next and previous buttons do not appear in multi-track Get Info (and never have).
Regarding duplicates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

ITunes U API GetDailyReportLogs not tracking new Collections?

I have discovered the analytic data I am retrieving from the iTunes U API GetDailyReportLogs is not tracking any iTunes U Collections we have created after about Jan 2014 but Collections created earlier are tracking OK. We often publish items (video and audio) to multiple iTunes U Collections. I have been getting iTunes U usage data with GetDailyReportLogs since 2009 and only now realised, we are not getting all the usage information. A typical GetDailyReportLogs URL I use is https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/GetDailyReportLogs/swin.edu.au- dz?StartDate=2015-04-11&EndDate=2015-04-…
Some questions:
Is the iTunes U API GetDailyReportLogs still supported?
Is anyone still using iTunes U API GetDailyReportLogs?
Are you experiencing the same issue?
Do you know what the cause might be and a solution?

Appe has replied to me directly for this issue...
"...unfortunately we have depreciated the GetDailyReportLogs for iTunes U Public Site Manager sites some time ago. As such it will only work for collections that were built in our older infrastructure and any collections built recently utilise different resources and are sadly invisible to the GetDailyReportLogs action.
However, I was assured that the current reporting functions on PSM do include both types of collections (old and new) and that is the best one to use."

Missing track information over Airplay

I use AirPlay to stream my iTunes music library from a Mac mini acting as a media server, to a Denon RCD-N7 (with AirPlay update). This worked perfectly, including all of the information about the current track being displayed on the Denon. However, after upgrading iTunes to 10.6.1, the track information is no longer displayed, or is displayed incorrectly and incomplete, that is, either:
only the AirPlay logo is displayed, or
only the artist name for the previous track and the AirPlay logo are displayed
If I toggle the AirPlay setting in iTunes between 'Computer' and 'Denon RCD-N7', I can get the artist name of the current track to display, but it doesn't get changed when the next track is played.
Has anybody else seen this kind of problem, and if so can you advise how to fix it?
Thanks,
North

This turned out to be a problem with the Denon RCD-N7, not with iTunes or AirPlay. Fully powering down the RCD-N7 down (i.e. unplugging the power cable) then restarting it, resolved the problem.

Track Information

After burning a playlist from Itunes there is no track information, as it is a mix of tracks Gracenote will not recognise them. Is there a way to burn a playlist with the track information as well ?

are you using an itunes version 7.0.x?
if so, head into your Advanced-Burning preferences subtab, and make sure that "Include CD Text" is checked.

Track Information Lost on Upload

I am having problems when I upload tracks into iTunesU. The track information (tags) and getting messed up. This results in files being listed out of order in iTunes U as well as resulting in missing track information upon download. Anyone else have this problem and or a solution?

It sounds similiar to a problem I was having, and Apple's been looking at it. In my case, the problem occurs if I:
1) Create the file in Audacity (and open source recorder)
2) Add the ID3 tags in Audacity.
3) Further edit the tags in iTunes.
4) Upload the file to iTunes U.
I've also had the problem occur when I've exported a file without ID3 tags to iTunes and then made the edit in iTunes. In every case, iTunes has seen the ID3 tags locally, but once uploaded, iTunes U loses all the track information. Unfortunately, it's not consistent -- Friday I did a bunch of tests and it wouldn't upload track information; I did the another round yesterday and it worked fine.
This didn't happen when I recorded a file using GarageBand, exported it to iTunes to edit the ID3 tags, and then uploaded to iTunes U.
I did notice that when I edited the ID3 tags using another program (like this one and then uploaded it, all the track information appeared.
What program(s) are you using to create the content and edit the track information, and what's your workflow for those programs? And what kind of files are you trying to upload (mp3, m4a, mov, etc.)

How do I switch on the D0 Not Track feature?

I read your very good article on the Do Not Track feature, but it does not advise or provide a selection tab to activate the Do Not Track service, which I would like to do.
(2) I see below on my Firefox Version that I have 3.6.23. I have recently downloaded Firefox Version 7, which is in my Download folder. Does this mean that my download of version 7 has not been activated so my notebook is not running version 7 as yet or is 3.6.23 something else all together? If currently not running Firefox Version 7, how do I transfer it across from Downloads to Programs? Copy & Paste from Downloads to Programs folder on my Windows Explorer?

To install Firefox 7, run the installer you downloaded (double-click it). Actually, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings first in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Regarding Do Not Track, it is in the Options dialog on the Privacy tab when you are finished updating.
