I changed an album title of a purchased song, but it won't show the change on my iPhone. What should I do?

I have terrible OCD, especially with my iTunes library. I buy all of my music on iTunes, but sometimes it shows an album title I'd like to change (mainly with albums that have the "EP" or "Single" in it). I change it and it shows up on my MacBook, but when I sync my iPhone 5, it doesn't show the change. I don't know what to do and this is bothering me very much. What can I do to fix this?

I had a similar issue and spoke to someone at Apple, who sent me this:
1. Sign out of iTunes on iPhone.
2. Put the iPhone in airplane mode
3. Delete the incorrectly named albums from the iPhone
4. Edit your album names in your iTunes library to what you want
5. Move the songs & albums from your iTunes library back to your iPhone
6. Disconnect
7. Turn off airplane mode
I've had some slight issues arising from it, but the original problem appears fixed.
Hope it helps,
Will

Purchased song but player won't play it

Hello everyone,
i purchased a song on the i-tunes store. My problem now, my player wont play it, i also transferred it onto my i phone- same problem....????HELP please!

Hey eve_s,
That definitely sounds frustrating. If the song is not playing fully in iTunes, it may need to be redownloaded. See the following article:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,
Matt M.

I am trying to re-download purchased songs, but screen won't load.

So a long time ago, I had bought the Beatles Box set and successfully transferred all 249 documentaries, albums, and songs to my iPod Touch 3rd generation.
And now I recently purchased a new iPod Touch 5th generation, and I'm trying to re-install the songs and videos and albums. So I followed these steps:
iTunes Store (on the iPod) > More > Purchased > Music > All > The Beatles
Once I touch "The Beatles," it takes me to a loading screen and never loads the page. I tried waiting 5 minutes and gave up.
Any suggestions of what to do to fix this problem?
Sorry for reposting and creating spam, but I didn't want people to think the question was solved. Since I accidentally clicked "This solved my problem" on one of my replies.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

No album art on my Purchased songs after I got the new iTunes 10

uggh... iTunes always does the worst things to me...
This all started yesterday when I decided I would treat myself in trying to get the new 4.2 software on my iPod Touch. To prepare for the update, I backed up my iPod a couple times to make sure I wouldn't lose anything. I went to get the update, and I got a pop up saying I needed to transfer my Purchases. I didn't really see the point in this, but I did it, just to find all my Purchased songs off of my iPod and only stored on my computer. I had to wait awhile to get those back onto my iPod (I don't even know why they were taken off in the first place!), and when I went back to the Music library on my iPod I had no album art on my purchased songs. On iTunes, it shows the pictures on there just fine! Even on landscape, the picture is just that stupid gray music note that taunts me in my dreams... ok maybe that's exaggerating a bit... or not really...
anyways, I'm pretty mad about all this and I've had it with iTunes doing crap to my iPod that even GOOGLE can't help me with! (hence the purpose of me joining this forum: try searching "no album art purchased" in Google. Nothing!) I mean I guess I could go onto Google Images and download EVERY SINGLE cover art again, and manually put them onto "Get Info", but I have like 60 Purchased songs! I don't want to go through that only to find that it made absolutely no difference.
Anyone else got this problem or have any idea why it's happening to me?!
watch it be something as simple as a unchecked box in Preferences...
btw, sorry for how lengthy this got... haha

The iOS 4.2.1 seems to have corrupted the artwork database on your Touch. I had some artwork issues too, but the solution is to simply Restore the iPod and re-load your last backup. Of course, make sure that everything on your iPod is also in your iTunes library (which is why your purchases were transferred before the OS update).

While deleting an album, I hit select all, instead of deleting just that album the entire genre was deleted. I was able to get back all the purchased songs , but none of the cds that were in my collection. Any way to get those songs back?

Assume you were in itunes? Also assuming windows? Two paths I can think of.....
1) Normally anything deleted from itunes goes to recycle bin. If you did not pick remove from computer probably still in itunes music directory. Just add back. Note to speed things up you can use add directory.
2) Use restore previous version of music directory. To be safe I'd back up current directory, do a restore, then swap back original directory and use restored directory off line.
I do not know of nice solution, I like to hack my way through.

You would have to create the ringtones.
Google will find several way to do this.
You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer.

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

Hi Dr. Ron,
By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
Cheers,
GB

HT201272 How do I turn a purchased song into a ringtone without repurchasing the song?

How do I turn a purchased song into a ringtone without repurchasing the song?

This isn't possible.
The song's copyright holder would charge more for it if it was being played on multiple devices at once but overlooks the remote possibility that any given person would be playing the full song on two or more devices at the same time; there's much more chance of that happening if the song is converted into a ringtone, so they charge more.
