ITunes dropping the 'of' part of track numbers

I have been experiencing this issue with iTunes since day dot.
I always format my track numbers so they are displayed as track number 'XX of XX' when adding albums to help keep track of the number of tracks contained within each album.
However occasionally, iTunes will completely drop the 'of XX' part of the track number causing me to have to fill it in again. What causes this and how do I avoid it?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Itunes script to detect gaps in track numbers within an album

Is there an iTunes script out there that will detect gaps in the track numbers within an Artist & Album? This would be useful to detect incorrectly numbered tracks that could reveal an error in the whole file's tagging that occurred for whatever reason. I'm picturing a process that would sort your library by Artist+Album+Tracknumber, then look for any numbering gaps and if found, display the 2 files with the gap in-between into a playlist for the user to evaluate for problems. Or perhaps this is not possible?

Looks like this does most of what you want in that it identifies incomplete albums. You'd still have to see which tracks were missing: http://www.enilnomi.net/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/dltext/findincompletealbums.dl
I'm assuming from the product info you're looking for an AppleScript for iTunes for OS X. If you want one for Windows I could probably oblige.

Why does iTunes rip the first part of a CD quickly, but then slows down for the last few - Why?

I am trying to rip CD's into iTunes so sync with my iPhone. When I currnetly rip the CD, it will rip the first 10 tracks in a matter of moments at 40x. However, the last 4-5 tracks take forever - up to 20 minutes per track. This has happened on multiple CD's and only with the v11.0.1.12.
Any advice out there?

I just bought an ipod classic and synched with itunes. The main part showed up on ipod but not the playlists. How can I get playlist to appear on ipod. Thanks!

I bought a new ipod classic. When attempting to synch it made me update itunes to the latest version (there may be a more current one now.) I did this and when I synched to ipod everything showed up except the playlists. How do I get the playlist to synch to ipod as well? Thanks!

Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

Elements 9 Projects plays fine on computer however when burned to a DVD it drops the last part

Hello,
this is my first post and first Question ever on Adobe site. I hope thatt someone can help. I have used Elemenys 3.0 for a number of
years. I have now upgraded to Elements 9. I am having an odd problem with a project that I am working on. Everything seems to be OK on the EDIT
and on the DVD PREVIEW mode ; However when burned to a DVD, I am loosing the last part of the project, and the laat scene button does not take me to the correct scene, It takes me to the one just BRFORE it. When the burning process is done, it shows that it all went well. No error messages. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is causing this?

hi photonutguy,
Since your question is about burning your video to a DVD disc, it is actually an Adobe Premiere Elements question. This forum is specifically about Photoshop Elements and is frequented by people who use Adobe Photoshop Elements for their photos.
there is a separate forum for Adobe Premiere elements where you will find the people knowledgeable in the video process for burning that DVD with menus at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
So I recommend that you post your question at that Premiere Elements forum .

HT2534 why is there no option of "none" when signing up in iTunes for the billing part

why is there no option as "none" for the billing account in iphone5?

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

Having some major issues with track numbers in the newest iTunes

I just recently went out and bought some new albums today for my birthday which was over the weekend and I ripped them to my computer, but when I go to put them into iTunes their track numbers are wrong. So as normal I went to change them, but found that when I click in the track number box I cannot input any numbers what so ever. I went and checked to see if the file was a read only file and it wasn't and I don't have any restrictions on this laptop so I'm not sure of what to do. Before I updated to 10.6.1 I was able to change anything and everything in the get info tab now I can only change the track name, album name, and artist. Any ideas?

If you can click in the track number box, but get no numbers to appear, then I'd suspect you've got shift lock or num lock in the wrong position. If the box is greyed out, or you can enter new details but they are not saved, then I'd be looking for a permissions issue.

I am trying to make a mix on Garage Band by dropping songs in the tracks from an ITunes playlist. I have done this many many times and suddenly I am unable to drop the tracks into Garage band. They swoosh right back into the iTunes playlist

Suddenly I am unable to transfer songs from iTunes to Garage Band. When I try to bring the songs over to Garage Band they will not drop into the track. They immediately go back into iTunes. I have made many mixes using GB and cannot figure out what has happened. Ive looked through system prefences, help window, etc. and cannot understand what has happened. Any advice?

either use the Media Browser in GB, or drop the actual song file into the timeline (cmnd-shift-r will reveal the file from iTunes):

- it's all said in the title. I can't understand why the developers turn things bad ... risking loosing Apples valuable customers.
More examples needed? (check out the communities and the reviews)
- OSX: Maverick to Yosemite = not recommended (check it out > http://roaringapps.com/apps)
- iPad: older versions as iPad2 should not upgrade to iOS7/8 (it's not supporting its hardware accordingly, it's designed for the latest hardware)
- iTunes (it's possible to rollback to 10.7 - 11.4, but you need to breech OSX system security framework)
- Pages (was a real alternative for many of us, each update reduced features and created incompatibility to older work files)
The list could easily extend to ...

How can I remove track numbers that have appeared in front of all of my song titles, since the new iTunes update of 12?

Windows OS 7
iTunes 12
Ever since the new update with iTunes 12, all of my song titles have a track number before them.
Is there any easy way to remove this without having to go through my entire library?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy

OK, that was the wrong approach. What should have worked would have been the process described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. No doubt your songs not only start with two leading digits, but have also lost the information regarding artist, album and their actual track numbers.
Make a strong cup of coffee/tea/your favourite beverage and review this thread: Any software that can rebuild iTunes songs lost to Unknown Artist/ Unknown Album. It should be possible to restore a pre-upgrade version of your library, the reconnect it to the files (assuming they have been moved). Please feel free to ask questions.

HT201272 I am missing parts of songs downloaded from itunes.they are in my purchased section but not in the artists folder.they play for the first part but do not complete the track

For the last few downloads the albums have been incomplete.most of the tracks are ok, but two or three tracks start ok but do not finish ,stopping after an short part and then going on to the next track. the songs are complete when i check them in the purchased section, but are incomplete in the album folder.

Thank you, I read that lengthy procedure before I asked the question.
I have no way of following all of those steps successfully since I am about butterfingered a sthe last dinosaur and will make every mistake in the world and get frustrated with something that SHOULD be simple.
I have the three disk autobook showing in iTunes library as one title , I had to enter the dat amyself since it was not listed on the internet data base, All entries for all tracks match and I have indicated the disk number as one, two or three of three as indicated.
Yet when I sync the iTunes to the iPod I am being presented with each individual track listed in the Audiobook Menu.
I am using the latest version of iTunes and a iPod Classic 160G-- that I purchased three days ago purposefully for the converting of the audiobooks to a portable device since the Library of Congress ( NLS BARD ) books are formatted differently and the player is bulky.
Does anybody hav eany other ideas?
Does anybody have an e-mail address for Apple, preferably iTunes folks?
This is a handicap accessability problem since my wife cannot see and depends on these audio books.
Obviously I will try that link to that Chapter and Verse site and see what I can do.
Thank you for your quick response

Perhaps you would have better luck by posting in the iTunes forum. You can find it by clicking iTunes for Mac

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

I tried Notpod but can't get it to work. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+). I also can't do this in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
Thanks anyone who can help
