ITunes 11.0.2 isn't importing album and track titles

This just started yesterday. The past 3 CDs I've tried to import have no information.
I get: The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?
I'm online, my computer stays networked.
This just started, so none of my settings have been changed.
More than one CD is effected, different artists and companies make the CDs
What could be the issue?

I'm having the same issue on a PC (I'll post it in the relevant thread next). I am getting this message whilst trying to import various CDs, all of which are well know commerical artists. I am connected to the Internet, so that is not an issue. I have previously imported them to a different computer with no issues getting the track names. Yesterday some CDs listed track names (oddly one double CD didn't recognise names for Disc 2, but did for Disc 1), but today none have listed the track names.
It's very frustrating as entering the names of the songs is quite time consuming (not to mention the album and artist name for each album).

Hello Flemcat,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are missing content from iTunes library. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

That WON'T convert it.
If I do the same with an MP3 and change the extension to JPG, it DOESN'T make it a picture. It makes it unusable.
Change it back to AVI and download "Handbrake". http://handbrake.fr/
Use HandBrake to "convert" it to M4V.

Changing Album and Track Info

I've run into an issue where I go to the "Get Info" screen to edit album and track information and it's 'grayed' out and won't allow me to make any changes. Additionally, there is no place for me to add album artwork as in other albums.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Check your permissions on the folders iTunes uses. Also check and make sure your account is still an administrator account. I installed iTunes on this XP computer at work, virgin install, and after installing iTunes and QT and I rebooted, I found I had been removed as an administrator and had to get our IT people to change my user account back to administrator. I couldn't even delete icons off the desktop after the install.

How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

Hello,
I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
My 2.5 questions are:
1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
Thank you!

1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

Imported album saves tracks separately?

I imported a CD of an album (regular store-bought stuff before you ask, not anything dodgily obtained or even a home made CD or anything) and for some reason it ends up taking out two of the tracks, and saving them as separate albums with the same album title, but a different artist, even though the same artist is on all of them (sometimes someone else is credited to, but it's a singer's debut album and he obviously sings on all of the tracks).
So, the album is called 'My First Love', with a total of 15 tracks listed on the album artwork, so they should appear as one album - one square icon/tile/whatever - on itunes, right? At least when I'm using the 'Album' view. But they don't. Instead, this is what I get:
I tried deleting all three of these things (put them in the trash) and re-importing it all over again, but I still get the same results.
Any ideas on how to fix this? It's a pain in the rear
Thanks!!
Message was edited by: mili2384 to clarify a couple of points and fix a few typos/forgotten words that impeded comprehension - sorry, very tired!

Sort by track number: click on the column head that says "Track Number". If there largest to smallest number, click again. As long as your tracks are taggec correctly, this should put them in order.

ITunes help needed. I downloaded an album and some singles. Many of the songs cut off. How can I re-download the damaged tunes?

I downloaded an album and some singles, then burned them to disc. Many songs blanked out while playing. Thought it was a bad disk, but it turns out that they didn't download properly from the iTunes store. How do I re-download previously purchased items? I've tried following the general help tips but they haven't worked.
Thanks,
Plumpfeet

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Is there a way in iTunes 11 to double click on an album and have the track list show up the way it used to in iTunes 10.7?

I'm talking about Album view where album covers are shown where you used to be able to double click and have it show up in a list view, but now in iTunes 11 there's just a window that pops up with the track list in front of other albums. Any way to get it back to the way it was in iTunes 10.7 where you double clicked on an album and it went into a list view?

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

ITunes is playing one song on some albums and stops

I am using iTunes 8, but this problem is persisting since last Christmas. I click on an album to play, in particular a Christmas album, and it plays one song and then it stops. All of the settings are such that it should play the entire album the whole way through.
Also, I have a Christmas playlist. When I shuffle it, it suddenly gets stuck on one album and shuffles that indefinitely, ignoring the other albums and music.
Can someone please help? This doesn't seem to affect other non-Christmas music.

Make sure that all tracks have a checkmark in front of them. Also...when using Shuffle, make sure the tracks are not set to Skip When Shuffling (under Get Info).

Multiple entries for one album and tracks are diveded between entries

After adding all my music into iTunes I have some albums listed multiple times with one or two tracks listed in each one. How can I get all the tracks for that album listed all together? Also is there any way to import album art from another program. Windows media player has all the album art and iTunes is missing about 40 percent of them?

Well, I tried everything in that article and when all my albums are in cover flow view multiple albums covers show for that one album. When I type in the album name, it narrows down to 1 CD.
As far as not being able to retrieve album artwork, I just do a google image search. After I have saved the pictures I go to the info for any song in that album and add it to artwork.

Music album cover images and track titles show on iPhone 4s but music doesn't play - any ideas?

I am a Young at Heart Senior, new to iPhone 4s, have an old creaking pc with Windows XP Home.....but plan to enter the real world any day soon by buying a new Mac!
Here is my problem, I purchased an album on iTunes and mistakenly started to sync it to my phone, (although I don't have iCloud loaded on my pc). I stopped it mid download and later noticed that the total track numbers were showing as a red number above the "more" button as if they were waiting to complete the download. It stayed there while I thought about it for a few days, but when I click the Album button all the tracks are listed.
Now to the funny part.....when I click on a track or indeed any of them, it doesn't play a sound...but the progress bar above moves as if "now playing".
So, I thought.... no problem, I would connect the phone up to iTunes and delete the tracks....but when I do so, this album and none of it's track titles show in my music list for the phone......weird.
So, I have a large album with titles only on my phone, no music behind the titles (which, incidentally, is rubbish anyway) and I can't get rid of it off my phone, any of you young whizzy iPhoners have any ideas how to clear it off???
I did think I might just Restore my phone, but wondered whether downloading all my stuff from iCloud would still include the dreaded "Now That's What I Call Christmas" album, which I only purchased in late 2011 to play at a seniors Xmas party...........you live and learn!
You will guess from my ramblings that I am not at all techy, but consider myself willing to learn and apart from this hiccup........I luuuurve my iPhone!

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

Itunes "Freeze" when i try to Import music AND putting it on to my Iphone

When i try to put Mp3's from my collection into itunes it imports some songs and then crashes on the same files. I then have to exclude these folders when im putting the music into itunes. THEN, when i try to put music from the music library to my Iphone 3gs 16gb the same thing happes, but with different songs. when i get it to sync, it does so until i reaches a spesific song, then it just tries syncing that song forever and finally the whole program crashes. What can i do?

Changed how? Did you update the Apple ID with a new email address or create a new Apple ID?
Keep in mind that content acquired from iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
If you created a new Apple ID, stop using it immediately.

PSE 6 switching to a new computer - any way to import albums and tag/label heirarchies?

I've just switched to a new computer and have copied and imported all my photos over to it. When I imported the photos using PSE6, I lost all the heirarchies of tags/labels (e.g., people not in the people category, ditto for places, animals, etc.). Also, I've lost all my albums. Is there a way to export/import this information from my old computer before it goes to the recycling bin?
TIA for any help.
Mary

> My original attempt to move files included using the Folder Location tree and moving the main photo directory from one drive to another. That copied all the files over, but resulted in all the photos showing up as missing in the catalog.
That is not good moving within Folder Location view should not produce missing files. This suggests you may have encountered one of the PSE bugs in handling hard drives.
I recommend letting this first attempt at doing a restore complete and then thoroughly testing it. Do File > Reconnect > All Missing to see if there are any missing files. Try viewing a number of your files in the Organizers full screen. And try importing a few dummy photos from the old drive to make sure you can have photos stored on both the old and new drives.
> it appears that all the files are going in without any subdirectories
There are options you can set in the File > Restore Catalog command that control how folders are restored. See this Adobe tech note:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402894
Assuming that your test above works ok, then you can redo the restore using the desired options.

I have two albums from the same Artist, I want to consolidate them, both downloaded via iTunes. I have Ellie Goulding's album and I downloaded one song from her EP but its on the album. I want the song to be part of the album so I can listen to the album.

So basically I want what it says in the title. I want to be able to listen to the full album as a continuous loop without it skipping the one song I downloaded from the EP. I can't delete then download the song from the album (I tried and it wont let me).

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
