How can I put the name of my songs in itunes without it telling me the artist is unknown in the database?

How can I add the name of my songs in my playlist without it telling me the artist is unknown in the database.I would like to add the name instead of it telling me the artist is unknown.

Right-click the track in your iTunes library.  Choose Get Info, and go to the Info tab.  Type what you want into the Artist field, and then OK out.

    I recently had to redownlaod Itunes onto my computer, how can I safely transfer everything on my iPods onto itunes without losing everything?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer, particularly before any restore, update, etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How can I get the name of my songs in iTunes

    I imported the songs in my iTune without internet connect before, now I can connect to internet, how can I get my song's name?
    Thanks.

    If you imported them from CD, using iTunes, select all tracks of the album and choose 'Get CD Track Names' from the 'Advanced' menu.
    This does not work if you imported them from a playlist or imported them from CD with another application and then added them to the iTunes library.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I update my iphone 4 and sync on itunes? All I get is :Could not back up the iphone because the back up is corrupt or not compatible with the iphone. -

    Trying to update my iphone to v.5.1.1 however it downloads the version but just at the end of updating my phone I get the message: iTunes could not back up the iphone as the back up was corrupt or not compatible.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

  • Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

    Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • How can i transfer music from my ipod to my itunes without deleting music

    I DONT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC FROM IPOD BUT I NO LONGER HAVE THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER THAT MY IPOD WAS SYNC'D TO AND NOW IT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC??? HOW CAN I AVOID THIS?

    iTunes will let you transfer your purchased songs from your iPod to your new iTunes as detailed here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    For the rest of your iPod music, you will need to use a third party program like TouchCopy to copy your iPod content onto your computer or straight to your new iTunes. There are free TouchCopy PC and Mac downloads available from here

    Also, see this YouTube video on how to use the program..

  • How can I re-link multiple "missing" files from my iTunes without doing each one manually?

    All of a sudden, hundreds of my songs can't be played because iTunes can't find the files.  They are all still on my computer and I can link each of them manually, but that would take days!  Is there a way to re-link multiple files at once?

    Something must have been done to break the link.  Did you manually move files or folders, rename files or folders, or otherwise change where iTunes thinks the files are located?  Did iTunes crash at some point?
    I haven't seen any truly successful tools to re-link tracks.  You can check on Dougscripts website where there's one that uses Spotlight.  There's also one that tries to re-link based upon your file being in a logical folder structure.
    You could re-link by adding the files again.  Of course they will be added as brand new files and not in playlists, and won't have ratings, etc.  You can then use one of Dougscripts to automatically remove dead links.

  • How can I put a name/description below the photo?

    In older versions of iPhoto I was able to name/describe a photo that was visible anytime I looked at photos.  Can that still be done?

    You can change the title which displays under the thumbnails.  The description, however, is located in the Info drawer and is not visible under the thumbnail.  Just be sure you have the View ➙ Titles selected in the View menu:

  • How can I put only a few videos/songs on iphone 4 but all on ipod classic?

    I understand that I can sync which ever songs I check in itunes to my devices. The problem is I have too many songs to put on my iphone 4. I have all of my songs and videos on my ipod classic (160 gb) and I like it that way. I just want a couple videos and with no music on my iphone. Can itunes differentiate preferences between devices?

    Yes, no problem.
    First go to Edit > Preferences > Devices, and make sure that "Prevent..." is checked.
    Then, connect one device or the other, let it register, click the device name in the left hand pane, and you can select what you want it to sync. When you connect the other device, you can make entirely different selections if you wish.
