Itunes has hidden the track name when showing my ipod

When viewing the files on my 20gig ipod color, iTunes doesn't show the track names, and I can't make it show even when I right click there where it's supposed to be, everything else I can choose.

I still don't quite understand why it would suddenly change though, considering when I bought the album they came under Van Morrison?
Perhaps the first entry on Gracenote (crediting Van Morrison as a solo artist) has been corrected by someone since you originally found that informattion.
Certainly, I for one (help me out here, fellow 60's kids) would consider it incorrect to credit the artist as Van Morrison if it's the original 60's version as performed by Them. However, on the Live At Montreux album, I would expect it to be Van Morrison if he is performing as a solo artist (with a backing band).

  • Itunes doesnt grab the track names from Cd's

    It used to, but iTunes no longer gets the track names from a CD when I attemp to import. It recognizes the CD name, but not the individual songs. They show as "Track 01", "Track 02", etc... I then try to get "get track names for CD's" through iTunes and it says, "unable to connect to the CDDB server".
    any help?

    iTunes actually does not get the track names from the CDs themselves. iTunes instead connects through the Internet to the Gracenote CDDB server and gets the album and track information from there. So when you import a CD, your system needs to be connected to the Internet. If it's not, that's your problem.
    If it is connected to the Internet, check your firewall(s) to make sure that that the CDDB site (gracenote.com, at least) is allowed in the firewall settings.
    For more information, look for "gracenote" or "CDDB" in the iTunes Help.
    Hope this helps.

    When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
    How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database.  Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer.  If you have one that matches that it will label it.  You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
    This script will only work on Macs:

  • HT1473 Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

    Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

    Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

  • When iTunes pulls up a cd it doesn't display the track names

    I have tried to import several different CDs and the track names are not displayed but about half the time. This particular cd was produced in 2008 and iTunes will display the cd title but that is it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    It also needs to be able to access the Gracenote CDDB website to get the info, so maybe security software or your firewall is blocking that site.
    Also proxy servers can mess it up.....a quick thing to do is check your internet settings. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, Connections, Settings and make sure the box 'Use a proxy server for this connection' is unchecked.

  • When trying to import bought CD's (10yr old) to ITunes, it recognizes the album and the tracks, but when importing I get the error message '  Error occurred while converting 'songname' file. The required disk cannot be found

    Seems also that the majority of CD's that have these problems are Warner Music published (I have roughly 20 that display the same problem)

    Windows and iTunes 10.
    Had this problem "Error importing file .... songname .... iTunes cannot locate the required file" when trying to import a CD today. 
    My library is on an external USB hard drive.  iTunes from time to time not only loses its own library file, but also confuses windows into thinking that the library files do not exist.
    So the fix where you re-tell iTunes where to find its own media file (using the preferences menu hidden behind some opaque icon for reasons that pass rational understanding) fails, and when you try to find the file using windows explorer, windows possibly confused by apple "helper" files, or possibly lost in a delusion of its own, also thinks there are no files in the music directory.  This despite usage stats on the disk still clearly showing that a lot of space is being used up by files that "aren't there".
    The fix for this windows user is close everything down.  Reboot, restart iTunes and presto it as if iTunes's / Window's temporary amnesia never happened.
    Last time I "lost" the library was when I did the "upgrade" to iTunes 10. I wrongly put this down to a pathetic upgrade utility. I now realise that iTunes/Windows just loses this key element of the plot from time to time, screwing up windows when it does so.
    Astonished how flaky this widely used and let's face it hardly brand new software combination is. 
    Now I don't know if this spectacularly unhelpful performance is Apple's fault or Microsoft's or both, so I'm not going to bother apportioning my contempt.  Shame on both your houses for needless worry that I'd have to re-rate and re-sort everything from a virgin set of file back ups yet again.

  • When i burn a playlist to CD, how to get the track names on the CD?

    When i burn a playlist to a CD, the tracks are all there and play just fine.  But when i look at the track names on the CD, they're just "Track 1", "Track 2" etc.  the tracks on the playlist itself are all named with fulll information.  How can i burn the CD so the track info will be included?

    Try changing the Disc format to Audio CD in iTunes preferences.
    If you burn it as a data CD, it will only be playable on computers (and a small number of other players).

    The USB cable and iTunes logo is telling you to connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with. Something has gone wrong and you need to restore your iPad.

    I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
    Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

  • HT1711 Will I have to pay for the track again when re-purchasing with itunes plus?

    Will I have to pay for the track again when re-purchasing with itunes plus?

    The only ways to upgrade a track from the old format of 128kbps with DRM to the "iTunes Plus" format are to either repurchase the track or to subscribe to iTunes Match. The offer to upgrade an individual track for a small fee was discontinued a number of months ago.

    This may be an error caused by the update. You can try to sync your contact information with iCloud and backup the rest of your data and then restore the device and see if it starts to work normally again.
