ITune (10.2.1.1) Genre "&"

Hello,
I'm editing iTune genre's picture
(http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12603989&#12603989)
My probleme is with *Rock & Roll* iTune dsnt accept the & :
*Working :*
<dict>
<key>matchString</key><string>Rock N Roll</string>
<key>resourceFile</key><string>genre-rockNroll.jpg</string>
</dict>
*Not Working :*
<dict>
<key>matchString</key><string>Rock & Roll</string>
<key>resourceFile</key><string>genre-rockNroll.jpg</string>
</dict>
By default iTune use Rock's picture for Rock & Roll.
Is there is a solution for iTune to accept & ?
Thanks

In fact you are perfectly right: a repair of the itunes installation solves the issue.
Little warning : under win 7, if in the add/remove programs , when you double click on the itunes ico, the only option is "uninstall".
If you want to repair or modify an installed program, you need to right click on the icon & then will appear the 3 choices: uninstall, modify or repair.

    The iTunes Store listing of your podcast is simply reflecting the contents of your podcast feed. Make sure all of the content you want displayed in the iTunes Store is still contained within your feed.
    Are you able to supply your feed for reference?

  • TS3297 iTunes is stuck on classical genre with a bunch of code showing on the screen; cannot use the music bottom; on an IPhone 5

    iTunes is stuck on classical genre; screen is showing a bunch of code and no songs

    What does it say when you try to restore it? Is it an error code that it gives you or does it simply say the restore failed? The error code could help us figure out what is wrong with it, but in most cases something like this usually leads to needing to service the device (i.e. get a repair).

  • Itunes match; a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, cannot delete it or replace the track/ data b) now have 9k tracks "stuck" in icloud and cannot delete them no matter what I do. eh?

    Hi
    I;m having so itunes match issues.
    I ran itunes match. I';ve since foumd, I think:
    a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, I cannot find how to delete it and reupload correct song and data. I am presently assuming that once songs are matched, the meta-data, genre, etc etc thats uploaded is now treated as 'the master' by itunes.
    Question: if I want to change the genre on a track, whats the correct way to overwrite the data held in the icloud? if I delete the track i just bring down the old incorrect genres again!
    b) I've deleted from the icloud all my music tracks (select all, delete, Y to delete tracks from icloud). I have turned off itunes match on my ipad, iphone, appletv mac and windows pc. I've deleted the itunes library files too from mac and pc in desperation. But hours /days later, when I turn on itunes match on mac or pc, it tells me i still have 9k tracks in icloud. All with the old, wrong meta-data ready to mess up my [now-corrected]  files back on my pc!
    I cannot delete them no matter what I do. The number of tracks in the cloud was 12k, now 9k so its reducing, by about 1500 tracks a day.
    does it really take itunes servers that long to delete the tracks I've asked it to delete, or am i seeing garbage data?
    is there a quicker way of deleting all my itunes match library, songs and data?

    Thanks for the helpful replies.
    My original intention was to 'upgrade' some of my tracks. In those cases, I'd iTunes matched, and the process was completed.
    I later downloaded those new tracks but found during that process, the tracks I was downloading had the old metadata.
    I guess the idea there is to update the local genres, 'update iTunes match' and wait. How long, I don't know but that's the current solution,yes ?
    Thing is I was trying to get my local library updated and, as I thought it, back in order, but was finding my local genre updates were being overwritten. I had a lot of tracks that kept on stating they could be downloaded so I thought the new files hadn't been copied down...
    I think I was trying to get match to do too many things at once.
    Deleting my tracks in the cloud? Was an act of desperation to start over with all known good genres locally and to re- upload, start over. I'd read in some forum or other to do that, I guess that was wrong,
    Ok so I will.. Err,
    A  wait and see how long it takes to delete my tracks in the cloud ie let it complete the process I'd already started.
    B  Correct my local tracks genres
    C  Wait til those changes propagate up to the iCloud ( or whatever the right term is)
    Q1: How long should I wait for A and C to complete?
    Q2: Is it 100% definite that local genre changes will get copied up to the cloud, when I 'update iTunes match'?
    I don't see any animated cloud icon, but I will watch for it!
    Thanks again

  • HELP! iTunes reclassified my band's genre and now I don't show up in search results

    I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post. My problem is fairly unique and I'm just not sure how to go about it. Please point me in the right direction if I've made a mistake.
    Okay, so here's the deal: I'm a musician who releases piano tributes to popular music under the name Molotov Cocktail Piano. My record label, CC Entertainment, has always set my genre category as "Rock." I'm not sure exactly why, but this has been the case since I began recording and releasing last June. Some time within the last week or so, Molotov Cocktail Piano's genre has been reclassified to Pop>Tribute along with many other (but, for some reason, not all) tribute acts, which in and of itself is no big deal to me but now MCP doesn't show up in the search results. My label thought at first that perhaps iTunes was blacklisting the word "tribute" as most of my album's titles use the word. However, I noticed that some other groups' albums that have the word "tribute" in their title still show up. After a closer inspection, I came to the conclusion that any tribute group or artist that has been reclassified to Pop>Tribute doesn't show up and any tribute group or artist whose genre remains unchanged still DOES show up. Take, for example, MCP's "Tribute to Taylor Swift: 1989." Before this switch, anyone choosing to search for "Taylor Swift" could scroll through her official releases and the many tribute albums dedicated to her. My tribute had been selling reasonably well and was listed near the top of the list after her official releases. Now after the reclassification, my album doesn't show up at ALL for the "Taylor Swift" search term, whereas some others still do. I feel certain that this is an unintentional mistake that somehow didn't get addressed when iTunes created the new Pop>Tribute genre and that it just needs to be brought to the attention of the right person to make what would seem to be an easy fix. In the mean time, however, I am losing sales with every passing day and iTunes is losing their percentage on those sales. The timing is just terrible, with the Christmas season upon us. Could someone PLEASE help?
    Sincerely,
    Rob Weber

    when you play the CD in your laptop on your home screen a Cd should pop up under the name of the album. Than when you open itunes it will probly say something like "let this CD download" or something like that. If it doesn't than automaticlly while the CD is importing to your itunes a page will pop up with a progess of the CD download.
    Hope that helped.

  • How can i stop itunes changing manually typed in genres when playing a track?

    hi,
    for a long time, itunes has been changing genre information that i typed in manually when playing a track, example giving "soundtrack" to "Filmmusik" or "rock" to "Rock" (i prefer lower case letters). until upgrading to itunes 11, it was able to edit the localizable.strings file and set the predefined genres to lowercase and "Filmmusik" to "soundtrack" and so on. now i had to install itunes 11 to run my new ipod, and the localizable.strings file looks quite different. it doesn't seem to be the file now where the necessary updates have to be done.
    therefore, first question is if anyone can tell me where i can find the predefined genres and update them? then i will have a workaround at least.
    actually, i would prefer to stop itunes changing track information in any case. i've spend more than a year to import all my cd's and used lots of time to have reliable track informations. i don't want the software to change my data without me committing any change. also, even worse, itunes updates the aac-file itself as well. i used to use the last updated information as a criteria in intelligent playlists, but itunes makes it impossible to get the expected result with its unwanted updates.
    so, any help will be aprreciated. in case it should matter, i have an imac with os x 10.6.8. the problem seems to occur only in itunes, when i play the tracks on my ipod, the information remains unchanged. and since i read about similar problems with songs from the itunes store - all my tracks are imported from cd manually.
    regards,
    andi

    Dependent upon which view you are using to look at the album, they will be playing in the "view" order. For example, in the screenshot below, in the Songs view, I have a view of an album like this, while the song "Follow Me" is playing:
    Look carefully at the picture and you will notice that the sort order for this view is in "reverse Last Played order", and if you now look at the Track No. column, you will notice that "Follow Me" is track 12, the last one on the album. If you also look at the Up Next list, you can see every track from the album, in the same order as they appear in the main window, so it will play in reverse order.
    To play this album in the correct track order, I simply click on the Track No. column header (so that the arrow is pointing up) and then select the track at the top of the list, track 1, "Sunset Song". Look at this screenshot:
    Notice that now, the tracks in the Up Next list are in track order and the album will play in the correct order.

  • How do I set iTunes 11 to shuffle in genre?

    I just installed the iTunes 11 to my MacBook Pro.  I chose the Genre: Holiday to shuffle songs from multiple albums but it only plays from the last 4 CD's I added to the iTunes.  How do I get iTunes to play from all 27 albums?  Assistance is appreciated, thank you.

    I have this same issue:https://discussions.apple.com/message/20551634#20551634
    For me I believe it is an issue related to the check marks.
    Initially the older albums were "unchecked/not selected", after I rechecked them they would play fine but are not being recognized by "shuffle" this occurs to the albume in a playlist or just trying to reshuffle the album itself.

  • ITunes 11: Can't remove Genres column in playlist List View

    In previous versions, when playing playlists, I use List View, displaying only Artists and Albums. In iTunes 11, I'm unable to remove the Genres column; the items in View > Column Browser are grayed out.
    Also, ⌘-L (Go to Current Song) doesn't work.

    Just uncheck "Genres."

  • Need to edit erroneous entries in iTunes Info autofill lists (artist, genre)

    Bad entries in iTunes appear (autofill feature) when i am filling in artist, composer, genre, etc.  Need to correct and clear out these bad entries.
    TIA for all your help.
    Regards,
    Allan.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You may need to set the track number, and sort by that, since these are not in alphabetical order.
    Right click where it says Name in iTunes (on top of the song list). Put a check mark next to/click Track Number. See if the other songs have track numbers. They may be sorted by that. If so, you'd have to add track numbers to all those other tracks, and then sort by that (right click a song, go to get info, click the info tab, and add the track number).
    If it's not track number, try and find out what they are being sorted by.

  • How do I get iTune 11 to play complete genre straight through?

    I cannot get iTunes 11 to play through a complete genre from beginning to end. For example, in an earlier version I created a genre entitled World Music - Celtic.  When I hit the genre button, all the albums I put in this genre show up. However, when I hit the play button at the top of the screen, I get the first song of the first album. Then iTunes skips several albums, plays a couple of songs out of oder from another album. The it skips several albums, plays one song and stops. I have 194 songs in this particular category. Really frustrated.

    Do any of the tracks look greyed out? Right mouse click on a track. If it shows Check selection in the popup box select that. If it shows Uncheck Selection they are alredy checked
    You want to click on the Play button to the right of the Genre name. Blues in the example below

  • I'm having problems with iTunes that keeps changing the genre of music that I have already changed

    I'm a Dj and I make extensive use of inteligent playlists mostly defined by genre and classification.
    I currently have about 70 different playlists, and almost everyone are very important, because I know what music to play, but in some cases I don't remember the name. So it's very usefull for me to know where I can find it according to the genre that I defined.
    BUT!! WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT iTunes keeps changing the genre of some music to the previous that is available on the itunes store (that I don't use because is too vague)
    Do you know what might be happening?

    Hello Torre,
    DAQmx is in fact more efficient than Traditional DAQ, so this behavior you describe shouldn't be the rule. I haven't been able to debug/check thoroughly your code, so here's what I suggest:
    a) Try the W2000 option to give more time to background processes (see this link).
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/28A6979ECA9A0CAF862569050053D92D?opendocument
    b) Try with the LabVIEW supplied DAQ examples which do a similar task and test/compare their performance
    c) Check with the LabVIEW tools where the time is spent (Profile VIs tool)
    Hope this will help !

  • Itunes for iphone cannot shuffle genres

    My Itunes on my iphone longer has an option to shuffle thru the entire song listing in a specific genre.  Can it be brought back or is there a way to shuffle thru an entire genre catagory?  Also why did itunes decide to put a generic album cover in place of the original cover for a group of songs.  Many of my album covers shown in the genres catagory now have a different album cover that does not relate to the album of songs originally listed in that album?

    The iPhone 5 has removed the flexibility of shuffling a chosen genres.
    Looks like it was removed...
    Do this...
    In the Music app, go to Search and type in name of the Genre you want.
    In the Search results, scroll down to Genre, tap the Genre name.
    Then tap Shuffle all songs.

  • ITunes 12: cannot create new Genre

    When I attempt to edit Genre info of a song or album, I no longer have the option to type in anything.  Before I upgraded to iTunes 12, I could just highlight and edit, but I can no longer type anything in the Genre box.
    Now I can only choose from existing Genres?  What's the deal here?
    This is far from ideal.
    Anybody have a solution for this?

    Hi,
    The ability to change or add genres is still there.
    Just click on genre field and make change.

  • ITunes Radio only plays one genre

    I have set up a station adding all my favourite artists from multiple genres. But it only plays 80's music. That's it. Any tips to fix this?

    Hi. I just noticed this too. I like the surprise of not knowing what song is next! Anyway, if you change to anything but "0" for upcoming songs, it seems to work as usual. Hopefully the devs will see this thread and fix this minor bug.
