How to get back artist and album name

I have bought or imported all of my music through itunes. However, when I updated to itunes 10, most of my artist and album information was lost. When I try to get the information, I get the message that itunes cannot get the information for items not purchased or imported through itunes???? How do I fix this?

What's the exact message? The phrase you typed doesn't ring any bells.

  • 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 you combine artists and albums in itunes?

    I just recently bought an iPod classic and am now using iTunes to edit my prolific library of music so that I can put it on my iPod.  I have much editing to do of songs, artists, albums, etc.  I am finding that some of my songs are broken up from the album they should be on, and yet the name of the album is the same and it still appears separate from the main album.  I also have some artists who are broken up as well, even though they have the same name.  How can I combine artists, albums, etc into one file?  I want all the songs from an album to be under one album and all albums to be under one artist, not two with the same name.  This was very easy to do in Windows Media Player but can't figure out how to combine songs to one album or combine artists to show up once under one file.  HELP!

    If you are on a PC and want to sync photos to the iPhone this is how you do it. First, create a folder and place the pictures that you want on the iPhone in that folder. You can copy them, or move them into that folder, whichever. Once you connect the iPhone to iTunes, from the Summary screen, click on the tab for photos. In that section, tell iTunes what folder you want to sync to the phone. It is better to make the folder you want to sync in "My Pictures" that is located in the "My Documents" folder. iTunes automatically looks at the "My Pictures" folder and can sync all photos, or you can choose particular folders. I have a folder called iPhone pictures that is in the My Pictures folder, and I tell iTunes to sync just that particular folder.
    Hope that helps you.

  • How do I change artwork and album name for a playlist?

    I can't figure out how to do this:
    I like to make cd-length playlists (essentially "mix cds") with songs that I own. I make new artwork for the mix cd, and for categorization, I like to change the Album Name and Album Artist to whatever I've named the mix (i.e., "songs about trains").
    However, if I do this, the individual songs no longer appear with their original albums, since I've changed the info on them.
    So essentially what I want to do is make a copy of the songs. I don't mind if they take up extra space on my hd. How do I do this easily?
    I know I can just burn the cd and rip it, but then I have to rename every single song, which is a pain.
    Is there an easier way? I imagine many other people like to make mix cds like me...
    Thanks.

    The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
    I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your help.
    I have executed the code but it did not give me the calendar name as fetchAll() gives me an array.

    Thanks M
    Yes It is Sales and Distribution process and we are using ODBC Connectivity through database client for the connection parameter in the Universe designed to the R/3 ECC.
    So we dont have
    a) DS
    b) BW
    c) Data Connector
    So Universe is basically on the relational Data
    base where by linking VBRK,VBRP and various Master tables.
    (OLTP level universe)
    So the quesion remain as it is bcos we cant access functional module READ_TEXT in the R/3
    Pls suggest for the following Alternatives
    a)Using Crystal Reports
    b)Use BW (Currently it is not there,but soon be Implemented)
    What do you think?
    Bcos we dont want to refresh z table which could be developed from given functional module before running our report.

  • How to get back music and video conent after updating ipod

    I have recently updated my ipod touch. And when it restored tmy stuff back it only put back my photos and apps, but deleted my music and videos. I already tried restoring form an back-up and it did not work. please help, that was a lot of music.

    The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.
    If for some reason you have failed to transfer any purchases to your computer before updating ( as you always should), then you will have to redownload whatever you can:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How to get back counts and ratings

    I just went to restart iTunes to find it's not there. I had to reinstall FF earlier and it removed iTunes as well.
    How can i get my play counts and ratings back as I have nearly 4 years of plays and ratings.
    I still have the XML file andother in a seperate folder.

    +iTunes Library (which is labelled as database file).+
    This is the ITL file. Windows must not be set to display file extensions,is why you aren't seeing it.
    +There is also a lot of iT temp files.+
    This is a big clue that something is interfering with itunes savings its ITL file. Which you can look into later.
    For now, to get your database back,
    1. Display file extensions in Windows
    2. Close itunes
    3. Rename your current ITL file to something like "iTunes Library Is blank.ITL"
    On XP, the default path is C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    4. copy that saved ITL file to the C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    (assuming you are using the default path as I posted before)
    5. Open itunes. Everything should be there, up to the date you made the backup to that other folder

  • How to get Back Pause and Forward in Task bar again?

    In I-Tunes 7 I had control over I-Tunes when it was minimized in my task bar. I could skip a song or play a previous song or pause. Now all I can get is a I-Tunes Icon that opens the whole program or reduces it. I have gone to edit, preferences, advanced, but there is no box to tik to give me back this control in my task bar, only an icon.

    I use the task bar mini player.
    In my preferences>>advanced tab I have "show iTunes icon in system tray unchecked and also Mininmise iTunes window to system tray.
    Then right click on the task bar and select toolbars, one of the options should be iTunes and it should have a tick next to it.

  • Organizing albums with same artist and album name

    This has bothered me for some time.
    I have Bob Dylan's 1973 album titled "Dylan," as well as his 2-disc greatest hits of the same name.  iTunes has merged the albums together.  I made sure the release dates on the songs are different, and even tried changing the sort titles, but iTunes still treats them as one album and mixes the songs together.
    Is there any way I can teach/tell iTunes that these albums should be organized separately??
    Thanks.

    Change greatest hits to "Dylan - Greatest Hits"
    I have Bob Dylan's 1973 album titled "Dylan," as well as his 2-disc greatest hits of the same name.
    When was this greatest hits released?
    There is Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits in 1967 and Bob Dylans Greatest Hits Volume 2 in 1971.
    Then there is Dylan in 2007 but it is 3 discs.

  • I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • How to access the "Genre", "Artist", and "Album" Panel via COM/script

    I thought I posted this a couple of days ago, but checking on "My Posts", it appears I didn't. Oooops
    I'm using the COM interface, which is also same as the scripting one.
    I'm trying to discover what elements in the iTunes main window have been selected, and thus "highlighted".
    The main window appears, to the interface, to be the "BrowserWindow", not to be confused with the View -> Show Browser window. Within this main window, I can identify which Playlist is currently selected, and/or which individual tracks are selected.
    But, what I'm trying to do, is also identify if any elements in the View -> Show Browser window are also selected. "Genre", "Artist", and "Album".
    Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how do I achieve it.
    Cheers,
    Eddie

    In case you don't get any replies here, Eddie (your post might get buried under queries about iTunes 7.7), it might also be worth checking in at Teridon's google discussions. Robert's post here has a link through to those:
