Hebrew Song titles and Artists appear as blank

I want my iPod to show my Hebrew song titles and artists, as opposed to the blank (which makes it very hard to pick songs, as you might imagine).
I understand that it comes out of the box without the capability to do so, but there was a fix for the old ipods on idigital.co.il. This fix however, does not work with 5th generation (I tried and the website says it doesn't). Why doesn't Apple just come out with an official fix? I figure it's something relatively easy to put out, no?
(have latest itunes and ipod updates)

sorry to say, but there isn't any third-party app that can fix that. you'll have to rename songs or live with it. you can send a request to apple to fix this in future software updates. here's the link:

the iPod software list doesn't include the 4th Gen. but just click the most recent iPod 3rd Gen. software.

  • Why can't I read Japanese characters on song titles and artists on my itunes

    For some reason all of my Japanese songs titles and artists are in this random jumbled text, and I was wondering if anyone can help me fix it.

    Sorry. I think you misread me. I know you said the software upgrade messed me up and I agree. It was Kobo Support who said the ebook/library book that caused the problem. When I called Kobo Support to see if they had a fix they told me it was my library's problem. I kept going back to the software upgrade and all the trouble shooting I had done - including the paperclip in the back - but the tech just kept getting me to do the same things over and over. You were spot on that they would try to place the blame on something other than their upgrade but they didn't blame ADE. The tech didn't have any new suggestions . I eventually gave up on her and took the device back to its like new settings, unintalled and reinstalled all the software on both my device and pc. It is working now but unfortunately I lost a couple of books.  Thanks for your input.

  • Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I could in the past?

    Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I have in the past?

    Do you mean by using the 'get info' function and editing the data there? What is happening instead of what used to happen?

  • How do I copy playlist song titles and artists names to place in an e-mail

    There is an "export song list" option under "file" that I tried to use. It gives you an option of saving the text in "plain text," "unicode," or "XML" formats. I've tried all 3 and when I bring up the text in Word, its not organized in columns, its just one word after the next, with information I don't need like track numbers, date modified, etc. I don't want to have to go in and manually delete all the extraneous information. Is there a way to format the list in columns so that I could delete all but the song title and artist name for a 200 song list?

    Never mind, I figured it out. I went to "view options" under "edit." I deselected everything but artist, song, and album. I went to the playlist and opt-Aed the list, copy, and then pasted into the e-mail.

  • 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.

  • HT1296 I recently purchased songs from my iphone.  All good...  But I then went to put them on my ipod touch.  They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour.

    I recently purchased songs from my iphone.  All good...  But I then went to put them on my ipod touch.  They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title.  what do i do next??  They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

    Windows Explorer will display tag properties for mp3 & wma files, not aac (m4a) or wav. It is possible for mp3 files to contain multiple tags but only one will be displayed. Try inspecting the problem fils with a third party tag editor to see if you can tell what is going on. For mp3 files, provided all the details that you want the file to have are displayed in iTunes, you can try using the right-click option Convert ID3 Tag > None a few times followed by Convert ID3 Tag > ID3v2.3 which may well help.

  • Can I Enlarge Title and Artist Text when Playing Music?

    Hello.  This question pertains to the 5th generation 32 GB iPod Touch.
    When playing music, I'd like to know if I can enlarge the text that displays the title and artist of the track now playing. 
    (I listen to my iPod in bed, but I wear contacts, and take them out at night.  I am unable to read the text clearly.)
    If there is a way to enlarge the text, what is the procedure?  Is a separate app required, or can I do it some other way?
    Thank you!   Jd

    After doing more research and playing with the iPod, I figured out what to do.  There's a trick to it.
    You double-tap the screen with three fingers.  On the second tap, you spread your three fingers out.  That enlarges the screen to almost any size you want.  Then, you use your three fingers to move the screen around.  The Zoom feature will memorize the customization, and will remain that size unless or until you change it.
    It's just a little bit tricky, but that's how I got it to do what I want.  Jd

  • Formerly I could download YouTube videos by double clicking the largest size page element in the Safari activity window address column. Now in V 5.0.5 page elements are not shown, just the page title, and under that about:blank.  Suggestions? Thanks.

    Formerly I could download YouTube videos by double clicking the largest size page element in the Safari activity window address column . Now in V 5.0.5 page elements are not shown, just the page title, and under that "about:blank".  Also, the activity window used to show sequential activity and now each new page replaces the last. Thanks for any suggestions re how to restore previous activity window function.

    Not all YouTube videos are available for downloading, but:
    There is the Free  iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
    http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
    Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
    and the RealPlayer Downloader that comes with RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
    http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
    which also downloads videos from YouTube.
    There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:

  • Chinese song titles don't appear when copied from iTunes Mac to XP

    Hi all,
    I've tried googling the answer to this but can't seem to find the answer so wondered if anyone can help me. Please?
    I use a G4 MacMini at home running 10.4.11 and iTunes 9x and keep all my music on an external hard drive. I want to play my music using ITunes 10x on my PC at work running XP SP3. I need to reformat my iPod on the PC anyway cos at the moment it won't as it was originally formatted on my Mac.
    I've copied my iTunes Library and my music files to an external hard drive and am using MacDrive so that I can copy them on to my PC, however I've noticed that the titles of the 20 or so Chinese albums I have don't appear. They appear as underscores not squares. The artists names appear ok but not the song titles.
    I've installed the East Asian language pack in the Control Panel on the PC. On the Advanced tab, the Language for non-Unicode programs is set to English (UK) and the Code page conversion tables is set to 10002 (Mac - Traditional chinese Big5).
    Is there anything else I should have done?
    The Chinese song titles would have been imported automatically when I ripped them off CDs on the Mac.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Titles and artists repeated

    I've been having this problem with artists being repeated twice on my playlist. I thought that everytime I uploaded a new song by an artist already on my playlist, the song will automatically be categorized under the existing artist. I checked to make sure that there was no mistake in spelling and there isn't. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?
    Also sometimes when I'm looking for a singer under artist playlist, I can't find it, but if I look for it under the title of the song, I can. It happens under other categories as well. Anyone else have this problem as well?

    Hi Dean,
    Is your favorite CD a compilation of your own stuff or a bought CD? iTunes should connect automatically to the internet to find your album and song names. You may not have this option checked. It is uner the 'general settings' in your preferences pane or maybe you are using a dialup connection in which case you will have to be connected to the internat when you download a CD. If it is a compilation CD iTunes may not recognise it and, yes, you will have to write the track names, artist and album in manually. It only takes ten minutes or so.

  • IPod Shuffle Voiceover Doesn't Say Song Title or Artist.

    Everytime I am listening to a song and click the voiceover button, the music fades like the voice is about to say something but then the music goes back to it's normal volume instead of saying the Artist and song Title. What do I do to fix this?

    VoiceOver read my playlists as 'Playlist 1, 2 etc…', so I fiddled and found the following fix. My instinct tells me the Speech stuff in Prefs and VoiceOver need to be reset to get the iPod to re-read changed or new Playlists.
    Quit iTunes and disconnect the iPod.
    Connect the ipod and boot iTunes.
    Switch off VoiceOver and 'Apply'. Switch on VoiceOver and 'Apply'.
    Redeliver Playlists to the iPod.
    Select 'Speech' from System Preferences. Toggle to another voice and close.
    Deliver a dummy Playlist to the iPod to force a new VoiceOver build.
    Hey presto. Worked for me.
    Hope it works for you too.

  • Why can't I edit song titles and stuff?
