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

  • How do i get all my 23 episodes to appear in itunes ?

    How do i get all my 23 episodes to appear in itunes ? I'm only getting 20 episodes in itunes showing despitre changing the setting in Blubrry , a Wordpress plugin i use for my podcast. Any help will be appreciated thanks.
    On the contrary, if i go to my podcast subscriptions, in itunes,  under podcasts, i do see all 23 episodes.

    Hi Roger
    This is indeed worrying. It seems the plugin i use has feture with the following message:
    WARNING: Changes made here are permanent. If the New Feed URL entered is incorrect, you will lose subscribers and will no longer be able to update your listing in the iTunes Store.
    DO NOT MODIFY THIS SETTING UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
    Apple recommends you maintain the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag in your feed for at least two weeks to ensure that most subscribers will receive the new New Feed URL.
    The New Feed URL value below will be applied to the Main RSS2 feed (http://smallbizkaizen.com/index.php/feed).
    New Feed URL
    So is this how i can redirect you think? if so i take it the new feed url is the http://smallbizkaizen.com/index.php/feed/podcast
    Its worth a try so i will go ahead and do this.
    If this all fails , how do i start afresh ? is there a way to delete the itunes listing ? and start with a newly named Podcast
    Thanks so much so far

    how do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

    Hi,
    You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.

    Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
    How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
    If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
    See this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
    Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
    Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
    To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.

    how do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer.  If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy  or CopyTrans.

    I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account?  I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

  • How can I get my music from my iPod onto my iTunes library?

    I google searched it and everyone said to go onto 'my computer' and select the device and then go to tools to view the music folder however I do not have an option of tools, is there any other way I can get my music from my iPod onto my iTunes library?

    By following the instructions here.  Note that you can't backup the iPod or sync apps.

  • HT1386 Recently downloaded ringtones cannot be "sync'd" to my computer.  But, the ringtones are listed in my Itunes Library and in the Iphone.  What's wrong?

    After being downloaded from Ringtones #1 I verified the 5 ringtones were functional, listed both in the Itunes Library and in my Iphone 5.  But, when I attempt to "sync" these ringtones I receive a display stating the ringtones cannot be found in the Library.  I do not want to activate Icloud because of duplication issues.  Anyone out there that had the same issues? 

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • When I had my ipod I used my dad's computer. I then lost my ipod and moved. I have my moms old laptop.I logged into my account and synced this computer but there is no music in the library. How do I get all my music back I bought on itunes.

    I need help. I would like to get all my music back. Thank you

    For what silly reason would someone expect media to magically appear simply because they signed into iTunes?
    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Either copy the media from the old computer (or it's backup) to the new computer or download past purchases from iTunes.

  • How do I get songs on my ipods back into my itunes library, which was lost due to hard drive crash, How do I get songs on my ipods back into my itunes library, which was lost due to hard drive crash

    Due to a hard drive crash I lost my entire Itunes library.  Majority of this was from an extensive CD library that I imported into itunes.  When I reloaded itunes and viewed my library I only found the titles purchased from itunes.  How do I get music off of an itune classic & itune nano ipods and put back into the library so I don't have to re import my extensive cd collection

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod. And here is a guide about how to transfer ipod songs back to computer. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How do I get my new MBP to recognize my old iTunes Library?

    I've many hours into this, yet no success.
    My 2008 iMac hard drive (2TB) went belly up for good. I have always added new OSX versions as they came along, right up to and including Mavericks. I had all my iTunes (over 1 TB) on this hard drive. No panic as I also have a daily SuperDuper back up of the entire iMac hard drive on a WD 2TB external HD (SuperDuper Clone OLD). I decide to replace the iMac with a brand new MacBook Pro Retina (256 GB, so obviously no room for iTunes Library), and a new WD 4TB external HD for the iTunes Library.
    Wanting to do a fresh install on this new MacBook, unlike the 2008 iMac which had one install going right over the previous OSX. Now, I move the entire iTunes file from my old SuperDuper back up (SuperDuper CLONE OLD) over to the new WD 4TB external hard drive (iTunes NEW), drag and drop, nine hours later it has fully transferred.
    I now fire up iTunes on the MBP, in the Advanced Pref I point the iTunes Media folder location to the new external HD:  /Volumes/iTune New/iTunes. I then shut down iTunes and restart it while holding down the ALT/OPTION key, pointing it to  iTunes Library.itl.
    Yet this new iTunes Library on my 4TB WD external hard drive (iTunes NEW) does not show up with music. What does show up are a 3535 old PodCasts.
    What am I doing wrong here?

    Don't do this...
    But it really looks like you messed up something.
    In the iTunes folder you seem to have all your music folders.
    Your iTunes folder should have only these items...
