ITunes and lyrics

Hi!, I use "Canto Pod" widget to search and copy lyrics for my songs in iTunes, but from first release of 9th version it doesn't work anymore: clicking on "Features Lyrics" tab it appears the iTunes Top Lyrics window, so it's connected and updated, but that I need "Get iTnes Song" tab says it cannot find anything. Also searching manually find anything.
Thanks for your help!

How can I display lyrics in iPad, the song which I purchase in iTunes, and added lyrics in iTunes.

I just brought some song in iTunes, and add lyrics in it, can be display in MAC, but can't display in my IOS8 iPad . Please help!

For whatever reason the iPad will not display lyrics, I think its been this way since iOS 7. The iPhone will display them, but not iPad. I don't think its a bug, I think Apple wants it this way for some reason ... give your feedback here:

I know how to add lyrics to a song in iTunes and then see them on my iPod. But now I'm interested in watching those lyrics on my windows pc...can I and how do I do that ?

I know how to add lyrics to a song in iTunes and then see them on my iPod. But now I'm interested in watching those lyrics on my windows pc...can I ? What do I do so than I can see the lyrics of the song while it plays ?

This is the correct behavior. When you play a song, the play count and last played time gets updated. When you resync the iPod, the track gets copied to the iPod to update these new changed fields.
There is no fix for this, this is what it is supposed to do.

When iTunes Match downloads the AAC files to devices, does the new AAC file contain Cover Art and Lyrics?

SORRY ALL... After searching, I couldn't find anything, and once I submitted this, up comes suggested previous discussions where it's clear iTunes Match is likely regressing my artwork. I'll proceed with deleting it all first, making sure it gets out of the cloud, then adding it back as if it were new. (Wow, Apple, what a waste of time!)

How can I definitely suppress lyrics in Itunes and my Ipod Touch ?

I wrote the lyrics of some songs in Itunes and synchronised my Ipod. I had the lyrics in my Ipod but now I would like to delete them. The fact is, that everytime I erase them in Itunes, they come back and I don't know what to do. I don't want to see them anymore !! Thank you for your help

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to iTunes. Hope it helps.

Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?
Custom Windows XP Pro Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.

Problems with itunes and ipad syncing artwork

Hi there,
i am currently running Toshiba Satellite C50D windows 8.1 with itunes 11.3.0.54.
last week i downloaded 6 new songs, edited their file details through itunes and suscessfully synced them to my ipad 3 128gb iOS 7.1.1.
saturday night i downloaded a further 12 songs, added the artist and track name so i could find them quickly, but when i synced these across all of the artwork on my ipad vanished except the 6 song i did earlier in the week. i tried to sync it again the next day and now there is only 1 of the new song and 1 other old song with artwork.
all of the artwork is attached to the files in itunes through the get info section. but it does not pull through to the ipad. i have not changed the way that i sync, download, or save the music files.
i have tried deleting the whole library and adding it back maybe that would fix the issue. but instead of fixing anything it removed over 450 song details. but when you go into get info on the song you still have the lyrics and or artwork. but the info tab has reverted back to the download http link [example - Curtain Call - Eminem - When I'm Gone]. as well as any song that i have changed the start and end date has reverted back to 0:00 and its end.
i am currently going through the library making sure every song has the relevant details in each screen, but this is a VERY time consuming process.
is there an easier way? more to the point if i finish and then sync, and everything transfers properly. what are the chances of this happening again.
i pride myself on having an organised itunes because i can find everything. but this is ridicilous when my process has not changed from the previous day.
please there must be a reason as well as a logical explanation why this happened?...

any solutions?

Lyrics on iTunes - "Loading lyrics..." message, but no text

I like entering lyrics in on my music files. So, I do it the normal way - open iTunes, get info on a music track, then highlight the Lyrics part of the long bar that also has "Video," "Sorting," "Options," etc.
After I'm finished syncing and launching my Touch, I can play my music - with lyrics on the screen. But with some text-intensive tunes, I get a "Loading lyrics..." message. But the lyrics never come.
Is there a limit to the amount of text in a music file? How can I handle this "error"?

I have the same problem.
It seems that the amount of text is not a factor.
I've found this (rather rigorous) work-around to work:
1. Command-click the song in iTunes and select the option "Convert ID3 Tags..."
2. Select ID tag version 1.1 and click OK.
The unfortunate side-effect is that, with the lyrics, you also lose the album art, so you may want to copy that out first.
3. repeat step 1
4. Now select ID tag version 2.4
5. Add the lyrics (I use Doug Adams' 'Lyrics via LyricWiki') and re-add the artwork.
6. Sync your iPod
I suspect that the root-cause may be some obscure characters being pasted into the lyrics that you can't see, but that causes the iPod to fail loading the lyrics.
Hope this helps.
Please let us know.

ITunes and Dashboard problem

Hello guys.. Don't know if just i have this problem, but i noticed if i right click any song in iTunes playlist and get its info, for example to read the lyrics, my dashboard stops working.. I'm just wondering why..
i have already repaired permissions and nothing's happened!!

nope, that isn't what is happening.. i mean.. i'm using iTunes and i click on get info in a song.. so i can see the lyric and i open the dashboard to use apple's translator to see what the part of the song means, but i can't, because the dashboard is crashed while i get the info of a song in iTunes.. Not even the clock, calculator work while doing that...
it's at least strange..
tks for replying

ITunes 6 lyrics bug

In iTunes 6 whenever I paste lyrics into the field the text ends up pasted twice. I've tried with the mouse menu, the menu and cmd-v. It's all the same.

This is a truly annoying bug, yes. I found a great free tool on Version Tracker called pearLyrics that looks up lyrics on the web as the song is playing in iTunes and pastes the lyrics directly into the song - only once and not twice. (Uncheck the "Look for chords first" box for just lyrics.) It's not perfect but it works pretty well.
Still, sometimes I need to find lyrics it can't and want to cut and paste... UGH! It's also impossible to alter the lyrics once they're pasted, the text editing does not work correctly at all. Hope they fix this - and soon.

BUG: iTunes truncates lyrics when using COM Interface

Hi!
I am using iTunes 6.0.4.2 for Windows (Latest Version at the moment), running under Windows 2000, both in english. I wrote an application that accesses iTunes using the COM Interface, and i am using the latest type library (1.7).
Everything works fine, except for one odd thing: Lyrics.
When i get Lyrics from a track, they get truncated - one char for each line break.
Tried the following: Added the following lyrics to a Track:
12345678901234567890
Works fine, when i get the lyrics, i get 20 chars and they are intact.
Now, i change the Lyrics:
1234567890
1234567890
When i now get the lyrics, i only get a string with 21 characters - the resulting string is
1234567890<#13><#10>123456789
(<#13><#10> are representing the ascii chars 13 and 10, not the actual strings <#13><#10>!)
For every line break I add, i lose a char. With this Lyrics:
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890
the result is:
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890
1234567
iTunes seems to have a problem with line breaks, as they are represented by 2 chars (CR+LF, Ascii 13+10) in Windows rather than 1 char (CR, Ascii 13) in UNIX.
This seems to be a Bug in iTunes. I tried the following JScript Code:
var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
var currTrack = iTunesApp.CurrentTrack;
var Lyrics = currTrack.Lyrics;
WScript.Echo("Current Track: " + currTrack.Name);
WScript.Echo(Lyrics);
and this gives me:
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.
1234567890
123456789
As you see, it truncated the last 0.
I am doing my real programming in Borland Delphi 7 Personal Edition, and it happens there as well - for every line break, I lose 1 Character.
The display in iTunes Lyrics-Tab is fine and not truncated, so it just seems to be a bug in the COM-Interface. Not sure where to report them, so i'll just post here. maybe someone knows a remedy?
Here are some Screenshots:

Windows 2000 iTunes 6.0.4.2, iTunes Type Library 1.7

Edit: I just tried a german Version of iTunes 6.0.4.2 on an english Windows 2003 Server with a different Track - same problem here.
I then downgraded to iTunes 6.0.1.3 on the same machine - same: 1 lost char for each line break. It does not matter if I add "fresh" lyrics using iTunes 6.0.1.3 or if I query the ones made in 6.0.4.2.
I don't have iTunes 5.0.1 anymore, but I will try to get it to try with this version.

Maybe it is in the Purchased category of iTunes,

Itunes match has removed my playlists from itunes and my iphone. Not only that, many of the songs 'matched' on itunes do not show up on my iphone. Seriously annoyed, wish I'd never paid for it

Please read the title; itunes match has removed my playlists on itunes and iphone and the songs that are supposedly 'matched' on itunes are not showing up on my iphone.
Any Really annoyed about this

iTunes Match does not have the ability to remove local files.
The service operates by comparing the selected iTunes Library with the iTunes Store content and 'matching' or 'uploading' - it is very straightforward a 'match' provides equivalent access to iTunes Store content as a recognised 'purchase'; upload simply copies a 256k AAC variant into the cloud. There are no elements of this activity that can erase the local library content.
Would suggest you explore possible alternative causes of file loss. Given the pattern described of selective deletion, leaving many Songs intact - would suggest making at least 2 secure offline Song file backups and starting the library again from a fresh install of iTunes once a thorough sweep of the system has been completed for virus. It is also worth assessing the physical security of the system - who has access & with what privileges.
To access Songs from the cloud, you would have to manually delete the Song from the library or open an empty library - so even when accessing content, iTunes Match provides no local deletion capability.

Problem with iTunes and/or updater software??

I just bought a brand new 30gig iPod video. I followed apple's "instructions" and installed iTunes and the iPod software off of the included cd. I then connected my iPod and it charged but itunes never recognized it. Windows can find it (it appears as an external disk drive in my computer and iPod in other places) but iTunes doesn't recognize it at all. I have tried resetting the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes/ipod software using the install cd, i have tried downloading the latest software from apples website and installing it that way, I have tried everything but restoring the ipod because the updater software won't even work. every time I try to use it, it just says "Service Error". I really have no idea what to do. The iPod seems to work fine, it turns on, turns off, windows seems to recognize it, but iTunes won't recognize the iPod and the iPod updater software doesn't seem to work at all. The last thing I am going to try is wiping my computer harddrive (it needs it for other reasons, not just this iPod problem) and starting completely fresh with nothing or very little installed besides iTunes and the iPod software.

The article posted in the first response is a great place to start. If that doesn't work, try these out as well:
