I rename a song title, click it & doesnt save the title PLEASE HELP!!!
So I rename a song title since it is not labeled correctly, and then it changed the title, and moves to the alphabetically correct spot, but then if i double click it after it is changed, it automatically changes the song title back to the original one, and then moves the file automatically to the old spot that it was before i changed the title. Does that make sense? Please help! I am finding it very hard when i rename a song, and it doesnt work!
I am working with about 5000 mp3s and its a headache...
thanks!
View my earlier thread on id3 tag changes not sticking. I think I found the solution:
...These files would not allow the tag version to be changed from v2.4. However, if you ctrl-click->convert id3 tags and select id3 tags version as "none", it will default to v1.1. From there the tag info can be edited and the changes will stick. If you need to you can re-convert the tag version (eg.v2.3) and the edits will still be maintained.

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?
Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps. -

HT204406 iTunes match songs will not play on any device.. please help me..
Hey,
just got iTunes match, set it up to the best of my knowledge.
-Bought it
-Matched and uploaded all of my music
-the 'iTunes match' tab isn't under 'Store' anymore
-music icons show up on iPhone 4 and New iPad
The thing is, when I select a song the song opens, album art and all stays on 0:00 then closes again as if it has finished playing.
I tried deleting a song in itunes then download it from iCloud but an error occurs. I deleted completely then added it to the library to see if i could get it to work.. Not working.
Music from iCloud will not play on any of my Apple things including iTunes.. Can someone from Apple or a smart person from the community please help me out.
If someone works at the Apple store in 'Chermside, Brisbane Australia' and wants to meet me to see if they can help that way I can do that too..
Thank you!Same here...

i have ipod classic,80gb,i cant restorit via itunes and when i click restore i see the error1439 plz help me.is there any software to reset it
Hello adifromba
Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode to force a restore within iTunes to get it to show up. The steps to do that are within the first article below, I have also provided a second article for further troubleshooting if it continues to not show up.

I have a MBA and although I have a broadband connection, the internet speed in the MBA is pathetic. I even can't open a normal song in Youtube in half an hour, so please help !
Has the speed ever been acceptable, or is this something new? Try resetting Safari and perhaps rebooting your router.

Batch rename specific song titles in iTunes
Hi,
I'm thinking about writing a program that will go through my iTunes library to (1) find all songs with a specific characteristic and then (2) append a prefix to those song titles.
For instance, I have a bunch of tracks with general title:
artist_album_version_track_123456
and I would like to append a single string to each track title, so I get something like:
MyString_artist_album_version_track_123456.
In other words, one track title may be something like : Coldplay_Yellow_Parachutes_349203. So, there are three strings (with underscores), followed by a six digit integer.
I would like to append something to the beginning of all the tracks that end in a six digit integer. So, in the last example, the program would take that title and change it to something like:
Zweit234_Coldplay_Yellow_Parachutes_349203
In particular, I only want to append one string to the beginning of the track title, so the string DOES NOT change with the track title. In the above case, all track titles would have Zweit234_ appended to them.
The reason I need to automate this task is because I have about 80,000+ tracks to rename.
Ideally, I can create an executable script that the user runs and the entire process is completed, without any additional user interaction.
I'm looking into ways to interact with iTunes data using AppleScript and Java, but I was hoping someone might have some ideas or, at least, be able to point me in the right direction.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks!Hi red_menace,
Your last post really helped and I was hoping you could help with another question I have. I used your script to output the data to a text file and then wrote something in java to sort the items I wanted. So now I have a text file with all the tracks that I would like to change that looks like:
Track1
Track2
Track3
Track4
Track5
etc...
Now, I wrote an AppleScript that will append something to the prefix of my song name, but I'm not sure how to run through the names that I have in the text file. I've tried changing the text file into a list and then saying something like:
set listOfTracks to {}
set Tracks to paragraphs of (read POSIX file "filepath")
repeat with nextLine in Tracks
if length of nextLine is greater than 0 then
copy nextLine to end of listOfTracks
end if
end repeat
tell application "iTunes"
set sel to listOfTracks
-- Rest of Code --
end tell
My script actually doesn't pop up any errors, but it also doesn't work. I've tried looking into finding the location of each of the tracks and then making a playlist with those tracks, and then just changing everything in the playlist, but that hasn't really gone that well either.
So, my question is: How can I create a playlist in AppleScript using the tracks listed in a text file?
My attempts so far have really fallen flat.
I would really appreciate your help! -
When I play some of my songs in my itunes it renames then to the track number in front of the song title i.e. Champagne Supernova becomes 12 Champagne Supernova. Any ideas?
Yet when i alter the song titles in their folder by editing the id tag
Are you editing the filenames in the folder or editing the ID3 tags?
iTunes doesn't care what the file name is. It will use the ID3 tags.
When you edit the info in iTunes, it will change the ID3 tags. If the songs are in the iTunes music folder, iTunes will change the to match the song title ID3 tags. -
Transfering songs from iPod after PC recovery what software please, help?
Hi,unfortunately i had to do another recovery on my pc and did not have enough time to back up my music/vids. I thought this would be ok as i had previously downloaded Podplayer and thought i could recover them with this software, it seems to have gone haywire and changed song titles some of them are now unamed and have become protected. Even worse it also turns out i have now lost over 200 music vids and movies in one swoop,no thanks to the ipods automatic syncing when plugged in. Thank god ive still got my music, just about. Can anyone please suggest a free software that i can use to transfer music from ipod to my PC that is reusable and also keeps the songs in order, title, artist and so on? If not free something reasonale and good. Please help thanks
One of the most recommended is <f
ont color="#0000ff">Yamipod.
This is a free program that transfers music and
playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings
etc.
Thanks, i have downlowded yamipod and its better than pod player as it puts the song info in order when they are placed in iTunes. I will start backing up properly when i get an external drive. Thanks for your help. -
Can't click on anything in the music store - HELP!
For some reason, I am unable to click on anything in the music store. I am unable to scroll up or down the page.
I CAN click on "search" and type in an artist/song and it takes me to my search. I can click on a song and it plays. I can also use the 'house' symbol and get back to the main page. But, when I try to click on anything else, nothing works. It is like there is no link.
Did I 'lock' something?
I am very frustrated! I have tried restarting. Can't quite understand and have never had or heard of this problem before!
TIA!
NicoleI am glad I'm not the only one with this problem! (Well, not 'glad', but I am not alone!)
I sent an email through the technical support last night. I got this response today: (Seems like they know about it)

Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.

Songs I bought won't transfer... please help!
Firstly, I am a techno-dunce and tend to avoid forums as I never understand the language used in the answers to my questions... so please help me but keep it veeeeery simple!
My Ipod was registered to 2 computers in Ireland, where I was living, and I bought tunes on one of the computers from the Irish Itunes store. Everything was synched to my Ipod... so far so good.
When I left Ireland I did not have any of my CDs so was advised to use something available free on the internet, xilisoft?, to get the music onto my computer, which I did, putting an Itunes library on my new coputer with all my music in it, including the songs that I had bought online.
I am now living in Australia, and my Ipod is registered to my new laptop. (I had no idea there was a limit to number of computers you could register an Ipod to, and now have no access to the old computers to deregister them.) I have bought a few things through Itunes library over the past couple of years and wanted to make sure everything in my library was in my Ipod so I synched it last week.... and got a message to say that more than 40 tunes cannot be transferred to my Ipod as they are not authorised to be played on this computer! It seems that the tunes I bought on the Irish computers will not transfer but the ones I bought on my brother's computer in the UK 2 years ago, have transferred fine. I am baffled as to why there should be any difference between those bought in Ireland, Uk, or Australia, since they were all bought on my account in my Itunes library.
I am pretty ****** off as I paid for them in the understanding I would have them for keeps, not realsiing that Itunes may decide I actually can't have ethem, after all!
Because I have zero technical knowledge, I have no idea what to do about it. I would really appreciate any help you can offer, but as I said, please keep the language and instructions extremely simple...!!!!!
Thanksps I don't know what kind of Ipod it is, I am guessing it is the classic, it's about 6 years old and doesn't do anything fancy like the newfangled touchy ones. I am using an Acer laptop with Windows, if that has any bearing on anything!I have a similar problem, although not exactly the same. I downloaded two full albums. For each album, there is one song that cannot be copied to my iPod (tried w/ 1GB Nano and with an older Shuffle). In fact, every time I try to copy these songs to an iPod, I hang up not just iTunes, but my entire OS 10.3.9 system. A reboot is required to end the hang and get back to normal.
These songs are on my computer. They play properly. The only thing is that I cannot copy them to my iPod. Any ideas why not? (All the other songs from the same albums copy without any problem.)

Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.
Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.
