ITunes 9 not updating tag data when re-importing a CD

Hello all,
With ALL previous versions of iTunes, when you re-import a CD and if you change the information (like the genre, etc.) iTunes would update the existing versions of the songs with this new data (it would also fill in the track x of n information). With iTunes 9, it seems to default to use the existing data instead of using the new data. Is there a way to get back the previous behavior as I want iTunes to update the old metadata with the new data (not keep the old stuff).
Thanks,
hmss007

If you insert a CD, it gets the info, you import it, change the info and then reinsert the CD and reimport, it will not reuse the info you changed. It will use the info from the CD.
This is how it has always been.
If the CD info is not correct, you need to change it before you import/reimport it.
If you have already imported and changed the info, you can use this script -> Copy Track Info to CD Tracks v1.3 to copy the changed info in Tunes to the CD, then reimport it.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad?  If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.
    Thank you

  • ITunes is not updating my podcast description

    Hello community,
    I'm the admin for the Open Society Foundations podcast feed, and iTunes has not updated the podcast description or image and I can't figure out why not.  Any advice or assistance appreciated.  This is the feed with the current description: http://feeds.feedburner.com/OpenSocietyInstitutePodcast.  iTunes is updating all episodes, it's just not updating the description, which is in the xml file as:
    <itunes:summary>The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve this mission, the Foundations seek to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, the Open Society Foundations implement a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, we build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. The Foundations place a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities.</itunes:summary>

    I've read through other threads here and I believe I've confirmed that iTunes is pointing to the correct feed, and that I'm using the right tags.  But, clearly I'm doing something wrong -- just can't figure out what.
    Many thanks!

    Although on subscribing iTunes is showing the contents of the 'description' tag (I thought it wasn't before. but I could be wrong) the 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags are still empty. If you've made the changes, have you uploaded the changed feed?
    When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
    However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
    You mention 'new episodes' but there is only one episode in the feed.

  • I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated email address on iphone 4

    I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated to the new email address on iphone 4

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • ITunes will not update Apps on iOS devices

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro.  I had all of my apps transferred to iTunes on the new computer.  Everything worked fine except iTunes would not update the apps on my iOS devices.
    Apple support spent several hours attempting to fix my problem to no avail.  I discovered the problem by accident.
    When I selected "Automatically install new apps while syncing" iTunes asked me to authorize an old iTunes account I had decomissioned a couple of years ago and had merged it into all of my devices.  iTunes in the new computer was still tracking the old account.  After selecting "do not authorize" for the old account, iTunes on my Mac synced the apps just fine.
    I hope this helps someone having the same problem.

    Thanks for the help. I think it works but only after new reload the data. That's not good when one is without Wifi. Sorry my english is not so good

  • IPhone 6 will not connect to iTunes. Message phones iTunes are not up to date

    WWhen I connect my phone to iTunes. iTunes disconnects my phone and give me a message. The phones iTunes is not up to dat. How do I update without connecting to my computer.

    You do not update iTunes on the phone. It is referring to iTunes on the computer. You can either go to the iTunes page to download, or when you have iTunes open, go to check for updates.

  • My i pad is not responding. I have a security copy in my iTunes. But my iTunes is not updated

    My i pad is not responding. I have a security copy in my iTunes. But my iTunes is not updated. Will i lose my Security copy?

    I have an iPad 1 as well that I updated when the iOS was first released a few weeks ago and I think that the new update really sparked my iPad into "new life" again. It's so hard to tell what will happen when you update - ideally the performance of the device should improve - and not fall off.
    Have you tried closing any/all open/running apps in the recents tray? Close them all and restart - see what happens.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • ITunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone

    When I try to download and install the new carrier settings file, I get the message "iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." (I got a similar message when I tried to download and install the OS update.)
    I've been able to work around the problem by creating a different user and installing from there. But I'd like to be able to find and correct the cause of the error message instead of using a workaround. It seems like there's a file or folder somewhere that has somehow become read-only. Does anyone know where iTunes downloads the carrier settings and OS update files?

    Jim VanLeeuwen wrote:
    You will find them in separate folders within your user account Library/iTunes folder.
    That was it. Somehow the owner of ~/Library/iTunes got changed to root.
    Jim VanLeeuwen wrote:
    Have you tried using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions?
    Right after I posted the message I thought that the age-old placebo of repairing permissions might actually fix my problem. Because of your quick reply I found the ownership problem before repairing permissions. So here was the perfect chance for a test. Repair Permissions ran successfully but the owner of ~/Library/iTunes was still root. Repair Permissions fails the test.
    I manually changed the owner to steve and was able to download and install the carrier settings.
    Thanks!

  • Data is not updating in data target from PSA

    Hi,
    i have loaded data from flat file to an Info Object(with direct update)....the data is loaded correctly into PSA...when i manually read data from PSA to data target its not updting in data target.......can anyone help with this....thanks in advance..

    hi bwusr,
    direct update, so it's master data,
    is it attribute or text ? perhaps there's invalid character or lower case,
    check in monitor tab detail.
    and when you said not updated to data target,
    you check by right click 'maintain master data' ?
    or you mean it's not updated to reporting ?
    execute change run ? rsa1->tools->apply attribute/hierarchy change.
    hope this helps.
