How do I repopulate the artist, song, album info?

My iTunes recently stopped opening. I don't know what caused this. My song files are on an exsternal HD, so the music is there. I downloaded a new iTunes which works, but it doesn't show my song list with album, and artist info. How can I get that info back? Many thanks!!!
I've looked at iTunes library and iTunes library.xml under finder/music/itunes folder, but those are the libraries of the current empty iTunes...

I found the solution. Highlighted the songs, right clicked and went to "Get Info" then inputed the info.

    I am working on a friend of mine's 15g ipod(W/dock connector)and I am having the same trouble except it does it to all the songs. I have tried reseting it multiple times, but to no avail.
    I am not sure that this runs on windows XP, it is absolutly archaic (compared to my 5th gen. 30g video).
    Help?

  • How do I sync the artist with the song on my Ipod

    how do i sync the artist with the song?

    What do you mean exactly?  Is your track labeled with the correct tags in iTunes?  You can right->click on problem tracks and choose Get Info in iTunes.  Then head over to the Info tab and fill in the information for the track as necessary.
    Or are you referring to something else?

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song.  I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

    I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song.  I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?

    How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?
    That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
    I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
    Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder  that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
    Thank you.

    Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
    you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library.  As Terence Devlin said:
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What you should set up:
    Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
    Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
    Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
    Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

  • Why doesn't the artist and album name show up on my iPod?

    I edit each of my song through "Get Info", so I just simply type in the artist and album name. When I eject my iPod, the artist and album name doesn't show. Solution?

    That happened to me too... It's a glitch... what I did is press sync right when i put my ipod in.. sometimes it doesn't work... just do it some other time again...or change someting in the song (getting info) It appears randomly...

  • How do I hide the artist picture in ios 7 music player?

    I like the artist and album "list view" in the ios 6 music player much better than the view that includes a random picture on ios 7.  How do I hide the picture and get my list view back?

    Just to clarify the behavior I'm experiencing on my iPhone 5, I can get new updates but the old ones appear with the Open button and don't clear themselves out from the Update screen.

  • I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

    I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

    How do I see the number of albums that I have import to my Itunes?
    In the earlier version of Itunes I could see the number of albums, categories etc. that I have in my Itunes. How do I see the same info in Itunes 7.1.1?

    Go to View>Show Browser and switch on the browser pane. At the top of the three categories Genre, Artist and Album you'll see "All" and the totals in brackets.

    Open iTunes app on your phone.  go to Purchases.  It may be in the more section, (The ellipsis icon over the word More). Tap Purchased.  Tap Music. Tap Recent Purchases.  Tap the iCloud icon next to the tracks you want to download.  On my phone the songs were at the beginning of the list because I haven't purchased anything since it was announced this morning.
