ITunes 10.5.2.11 MP3 tag import not working correctly

Hi,
I recently had a hard drive crash so I'm starting from a clean install of Windows XP SP3.
Installed iTunes 10.5.2.11.
When importing MP3's into iTunes now sometimes iTunes reads the MP3 tags correctly.  Sometimes iTunes ignores the tags and inserts the file name into the artist field as shown in the image below.
The same MP3's worked perfectly with previous versions of iTunes...although they were all automatic updates of iTunes and not clean installs (if that might make a difference).  The same MP3 works fine with VLC or WMP with all the tagging correct.   Now it is roughly 50/50 whether they import correctly or not.  I've run the MP3's through MP3val and they come out clean.   I am confident the MP3 files are correctly tagged. 
The MP3's were either ripped with iTunes or are bought through eMusic/iTunes.  Even with bought MP3's, with eMusic you couldn't be sure the producer would tag the files properly so I have put them through Musicbrainz tagger. 
If I have imported an MP3 into iTunes and it has messed up the meta data, I have deleted the MP3s from iTunes, taken that MP3 into Musicbrainz, re-written the tags and then reimported the file.  Unless iTunes is restarted it still gives me the corrupted meta data. 
However, as you can imagine, with several years worth of eMusic library and my CD collection worth of MP3's, it is a very tedious process to go through each album, retag everything, then restart iTunes and continue until it finds another set of tags it cannot import correctly.
Any ideas what is causing this as it only seems to have been an issue now with this version of iTunes from a clean install?

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

    Hi there,
    You may find the article below helpful.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

    Hi
    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

    I think you will need to restore to the itunes computer you normally sync to.
    So you'll have to wait until you come back from your trip.

  • ITunes not Working Correctly

    When I use iTunes without connecting my iPhone, it seems OK. When I connect the iPhone, after the sync has been performed, I get a message that my iTunes is not working correctly and has to be closed. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to address it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. Before I saw your reply, I shut down my iPhone fully, restarted it (I had to reset the defaults) and reconnected. The problem did not reoccur. It also seemed to correct a problem I was having the "weather" function on my iPhone. Thanks again.

  • ITunes Home Sharring not working correctly.

    My itunes homesharing is not working correctly. I have a Windows 8 computer and I am trying to share with my partners Widows 7 computer. Both computers are running the newest version of itunes 11 (downloaded yesterday). I sign in and turned on home sharring with the same user id and password. For the first 20-30 mins it worked perfectly, I could open her library and she could open mine and we could download songs from each other with no issue. We closed both computers and about 2 hours later turned them on to try again. Now my computer (Windows8) always shows up on hers but her computer only shows up about 1/2 the time for me, and half of that time if you click on her computer it says loading then stops and her computer has disapperard again. I can eventually get it to work after many turning off and on of home sharring but it take about 15-20min each time to get it working. Is this a problem others have seen? Does anyone know a solution?

    This issue has now been completely resolved with the introduction of iTunes 9.2 Everything up and running again - thank you Apple! (Still an issue with Dictionary app/Wikipedia not functioning correctly, this has not been resolved)

  • ITunes Store Pages not working correctly

    Since a few days ago iTunes Store (on full page) is not working correctly. The "pictures at the top" do NOT rotate any more (usually every 10 seconds or so before) often with blanks too. Also when clicking on an Lp information the box appears but Blank too. I have tried all the usual methods - permissions and disc checks etc. If I use small page (not full) it seems to work OK. The problem began after Safari 5 arrived. Anyone else having iTunes problems like this? (Similiarly the Dictionary Application with Wikipedia is not working correctly - but thats another issue!). Any answers out there??

    Hi, oldcrow13.
    Thank you for the response.  Typically this error is caused by installing an older verison of iTunes than you had prior.  When you installed iTunes did you download the program directly from iTunes.com, or did you use an older copy of the program on your computer?  If you used an older version or are unsure, uninstall all the components one more time and download a new copy of iTunes via the link below.

  • My mouse is not working correctly after upgrade to ITunes 11

    I upgraded to iTunes 11 for WinXP and now my mouse is not working correctly. No double clicks, no right button function and sometimes refuses to do simple left click options. What can I do?
    I've tried new mouse drivers and checking the settings in Control Panel but no joy so far.
    Driving me mad and taking me three times longer to do anything as I look for keyboard solutions.

    I'm facing the same problem too on Windows 8. No mouse clicks (just 'ding' sound whenever trying to click anything).
    I could work around it on Windows 8, but ultimately have to restart my PC to get back mouse functionality.
    I wasn't quite sure which app is to blame, but ultimately concluded it's iTunes 11. As this behaviour always concided with having iTunes running in the background for 15-20 minutes (usually listening to podcasts) and never seems to happen when iTunes 11 isn't running.
    Don't know what to make of this, I'm currently playing my podcasts through Windows Media Player instead. I'll hopefully try running iTunes 11 in Windows 7 Compatibiliy mode to see if that helps.

  • Latest QT & iTunes installed, but not work correctly

    I had installed latest version QT7 & iTunes 6.05, however, both of them not work correctly. For QT, it can play video with "looping - delay & sound impediment" audio; the video seems ok. My iTunes has the same problem, I just wonder this is because of QT.
    Hope some body can help me to solve this problem.

    hmmmmm.
    quit itunes and/or quicktime.
    try opening your Sounds and Audio devices control panel. click on the Audio tab.
    in the sound playback area there, click on the "advanced" button. click on the "performance" tab.
    try moving the sliders towards full and best. click okay.
    check on the sound quality in itunes and quicktime again.
    any improvement?
