ITunes 5 doesn't have way to NOT get track names

In previous versions of iTunes you could check a box to connect to the internet automatically to get CD track names when you inserted a disc--but you could also choose to have that option turned off. With iTunes 5 I don't see where I can turn that off. I am ripping a 24-disc audiobook and each disc I insert keeps getting the wrong information assigned to all the tracks and I have to edit it out. It would be much easier for me to just add my own information to begin with than have to take out the wrong information first. How do I turn off the option to get CD track names when I am online all the time?

That is bad news, because often the track listing is wrong in the CDDB, just like you are experiencing.
They should bring that option to disable it back.

thank you

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

ITunes 11.4.0.18 will not get track names for imported mp3 albums.

I'm new to Apple (Windows 7 i7 Sandy Bridge processor 16GB ram) and recently got an iPod touch 5g 64GB and I am trying to figure out iTunes. I have GB's of albums that I have collected over the years in mp3 format. When I imported them to iTunes via...File>Add Folder to Library...It imported all of my albums, but, almost NONE of the tracks are in order and they are "scattered" for lack of a better word. Some are with the albums they are supposed to be with, but MOST made their own names and albums. Getting the tracks with the albums I fixed by doing it manually. Getting the tracks in order in the albums...HELP. I tried to "Get Track Names", but iTunes comes back with "iTunes cannot get CD track names for songs that were not imported using iTunes. To allow iTunes to look for CD track names for this song, import the song again using iTunes."???? I'm assuming that iTunes will only get the track names if they are imported from CD only and not mp3? If I have to manually enter all of the information in myself....God help me...just leave it unorganized???

When iTunes imports a CD it records the information used to look up the album in the Gracenotes database. When you add your tracks into a different library that data is no longer available. See Grouping tracks into albums for some tips on organizing iTunes content.

I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

HT1212 for an iTouch 4 my young daughter thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes. Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?

My 7 year old daughter has an iPod Touch 4 and she used the wrong password too many times. She thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes. Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt? We are traveling this week so don't have access to the serial number or the computer that was used to originally set up her iTouch. I don't even know what operating system it's on and can only see the home screen.

Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

I bought an audiobook in itunes on my pc and I can not get it to push to my iphones. Do I physically have to connect to itunes to get the audiobook on my iphone?

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so if you're asking whether you need to connect the iPhone to your computer's iTunes (if that is where you've downloaded it) in order to get the audiobook on it then yes, you will need to sync it the phone, you can't re-download it on the phone.

After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".

After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".
I have deleted these songs and downloaded them from iTunes Match (they were "matched" and not "uploaded" files). However, it still does not work.

I have the same issue with 8 songs in my library. All are "Matched" and I've tried deleting them and redownloading them from iTunes Match, but they won't play in iTunes or transfer to any of my iDevices.

Why is 'Get track names' not available with my iTunes purchase?

I have just purchased a song from the iTunes store and it has been downloaded into my music folder. All is well so far. However, when i create a playlist and add the new song along with others from my music folder so that i can burn them to a CD the track name is not shown on the purchased track (all the others, yes but not the new one). If i look at 'get info' all of the information is shown but when i try to 'get the track name' i am told that iTunes can only get track names for tracks imported from iTunes...which is exactly where i got it from! What's going wrong. Why can't i get this track name? Any suggestions??? D/.

Hi,
Thanks very much for your reply. Although it was very good at explaining how the system works it doesn’t really help me to solve the problem.
I rip all my CD’s into iTunes and then make a copy of them to play in my car. It saves getting the originals lost or damaged and it also means that when I play them on my car audio system the track details are displayed; which is good.
With the disc I am trying to burn now most of the tracks were already ripped into iTunes and when interrogated they all display the track name, with the exception of the track I bought via iTunes store yesterday which although it shows the track info it does not show the track names. All I get is this message:
So, is there any other way I can import this track into my library so that when I add it to my playlist and burn to a CD it will show the track name? This is most of what is shown in track info:
I would say that when I look at the track in my music folder on my pc it is showing as an mp3 (MPEG layer 3 audio) file if this helps.
Thanks, coxmeister

ITunes 11.3. I can't see any way of accessing the CD database to get track names if somehow they weren't accessed when ripping the CD into my computer. It used to be EASY.

ITunes 11.3. I can't see any way of accessing CD track names through iTunes AFTER I ripped the CD into my computer through iTunes. For some reason the track names were not imported when I ripped the CD. Anyone know how to do that?

As far as I know this has never been a feature of iTunes. You always have to identify the CD before ripping. If you selected the wrong CD you can re-identify it for the next time the Cd is inserted but it won't re-label tracks you have already ripped. To re-identify an incorrectly identified CD: "Insert the CD and select it in iTunes, then menu Advanced > Get CD track names. It should requery the Gracenote database and let you pick the correct album." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18901866 - Newer versions in upper right hand corner, Options>Get Track Names

Is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages?

Is my name even sent when I send text messages? If so, is there a way to not display my name when I send text messages? When sending a text message, I would like to only display my phone number.

is it possible for the sender not to have my name in there contacts... and just typed my number?..
It is possible for the recipent not to have your name for your number in their address book for your contact info, but the recipent must do that.
So does that mean just my number will show when i send a text to the person using an android phone?
If the recipient does not have your name with your phone number in their address book for your contact info.
Have you ever received a text from a phone number that is not in your address book? If so, what do you see? You should see the phone number only. The same applies for someone you are sending a text to.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

Where is the command in itunes 11 to "get track names again"?

Actually, I need to get track names more than once AFTER I have ripped the CD.
My situation: I ripped a CD, got the message "multiple matches were found online for this cd" (I need this case, 4) and chose the wrong one so that all the tracks are named untitled.
Later (with no CD) I selected the mp3 track (In the Recently Added playlist) right-clicked and chose "Get Track Names" and chose the 2nd of 4 matches, but this was also wrong. Now, if I right-click and choose "Get Track Names" I can see a very brief cddb lookup in the top center (status?) window, but I don't get the dialog box offering the 4 cddb matches any more.
So now I still don't have the right track names and I can find no way to do another cddb lookup without inserting the original CD. Shouldn't there be a way?
Thanks I need advance,
Steve I need Berkeley

No, the old album list view is not an option in iTunes 11...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Unable to get track names for new album itunes 11.1.5

Hi All,
I have 2 computers running Mavericks
Both have the same version iTunes 11.1.5
On some imported albums I have not got the track names.
On one computer I can right click on the track and 'Get Track Names'+'Get album artworks' and it works, but on the other I do this and it does not.
Any thoughts on why one computer can do this and the other does not?
Both are connected to the internet and can connect to the itunes store.
Cheers
Simon

It may simply be that the CD you are trying to import is not in the CD track name database.

I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7

I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7 and I'm unable to find a solution.

I can't be certain exactly which steps are going to be needed in each case, but if you work through this in sequence hopefully one of the steps will prove effective.
First try this:
With iTunes closed.
Press the WinLogoKey+R
Type in %appdata% and press return
Double click on Apple Computer
Double click on iTunes
Delete the file CD Info.cidb
Start iTunes and try again.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist in the same folder.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting iTunesPrefs.xml. This will reset your some of your preferences in iTunes so be sure to check them and reset as required.
If that still hasn't resolved things close iTunes and try deleting the entire %appdata%\Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
Note that any iOS device backups are stored in the MobileSync folder within Apple Computer. Once things are working you should backup your devices again as soon as possible.
Or it might not be the preference files after all...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
