ITunes is not recognizing my albums when I add them from my music folder

I am trying to import my music collection into my iTunes, yet for some reason (for the first time ever--never had this problem with older versions of iTunes) when I import files iTunes is sorting most of them into "Unkown Album."  For instance:  When importing my collection of Aerosmith one of the WILL sort correctly (toys in the attic) yet every other song gets placed under this "Unkown Album."  This is happeneing to at least 90% of my collection--which is rather extensive.  I have tried changing the ID3 tags and nothing happened, as well as trying to change the Album Artist and again nothing changed.  Any help will be appreciated.

Have a look at this post and the surrounding thread. It may be a problem with multiple tags, partial information and down to the way iTunes processes them. If you use a third party program to "fix" tags aim to get a single id3v2.3 tag in place. If the files are still in proper <Artist> & <Album> folders and you haven't let iTunes reorganize them then my script should work to read in the missing data from the path.

  • No songs show up in Owner's iPod when i remove them from the Music folder..

    every time i transfer music to my Shuffle, and then remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they won't show up in Owner's iPod whenever i connect my Shuffle to my PC. if i don't remove the songs from the Music folder under Library, they will show up in Owner's iPod every time i connect my Shuffle. i don't get it. the capacity is right, and i know there are songs on the Shuffle, but there's no way to maintain the playlist of songs (for example, remove a few songs and keep the others) because none of them show up in Owner's Ipod...
    i also had another problem, that i was able to fix, with my wireless keyboard and mouse. whenever i removed the Shuffle from the USB connector, the lights on my keyboard and mouse remote would go out, and my keyboard and mouse would disconnect. also, the screen would turn gray, and i would have to hold the power butten down on the PC to get it to shut down. i changed the USB port i was using for the Shuffle, and that seemed to fix it, but i think that it's wierd that i moved my iPod Mini to that USB port and it doesn't do that when i remove it. anyway, i changed USB ports, and it works fine now, but i don't think it's a problem on my end because my iPod Mini works fine in that port. i think it's a software bug with the Shuffle...

    Solution: Don't do that...
    Explanation: iTunes "updates" Shuffle each time it's connected. IF the Shuffle contains songs NOT in iTunes' library, they are removed from the Shuffle. THAT is the way it works.

  • Itunes is not recognizing my phone when i plug it in to sync.. How do i fix this?

    Please help

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release.  If it won't reset you may need to put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • Syncing- Itunes is not recognizing my Iphone

    Itunes is not recognizing my Iphone when I open Itunes to Sync recently added information.

    I'm having the same issue but the apple solution did not solve the problem. Apple mobile device is started and i reinstalled itunes several times but it still only recognizes the iphone camera but it doesn't show in itunes for sync.
    This problem is very recent and everything has been working fine for 6 months with the same configuration.
    The cable is not the problem, nor is the iphone as i tested it with different cables and computers.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I am using a 2003 eMac and am running on Mac OSX  vs 10.4.11. I amrunning iTunes 8.2.1 (6) and not able to upgrade iTunes on this computer. iTunes is not recognizing music I have purchased and when I try to connect when it request me to I get the following error message:
    Cannot complete  iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed (-42404)
    Please help.

    Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore.  I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere?  Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

  • HT203433 My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue?

    My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue? My phone shows the purchase but iTunes does not see it. I have gone to Store: Check for Available Downloads. Nothing. I would love to listen to this album on my iMac today, not my phone.

    By purchased section do you mean the section for re-downloading via the iTunes store homepage, or the purchased section of your library ? I think that the purchased section of your library only shows purchases made on that computer, so it may necessarily show there, it may just be under Music if you've copied it over from your phone.
    If you mean the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage then does any of your music purchases show there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If no music shows there then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to the music part of your library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If other music purchases show there then you are signed in with the same account as you purchased it with, it's still in the store, and it's not hidden (hiding and unhiding) ?
    If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you can turn on automatic downloads via the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) so that new purchases on your phone automatically download on your Mac

  • Itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

  • ITunes is not recognizing my phone

    After I added a new iPod Touch to my account, my iPhone stopped working. When I push the home button at the bottom, nothing happens (black screen only). When I push and hold the button at the top, I get a picture of a usb plug and an arrow above it pointing up to the iTunes icon. When I plug it into the computer, I get the same picture on the screen. It seems as if iTunes is not recognizing my phone.
    Does anyone know what I need to do?
    Thanks.

  • Itunes is not recognizing my password

    I'm trying to purchase a song and suddeny iTunes is not recognizing my password. I log in to Manage my AppleID and that seems to recognize it just fine;  for some reason iTunes is just not accepting it. I'm absolutely typing it in correctly, and it's the same password I've had for ages so it can't be wrong.
    I do not think reseting the password is, or should be, my only option: I have too many passwords to keep track of as is.

    Sorry is should have probably mentioned this problem is on my computor. I am using itunes 11 and win 8( never had a problem till now ) . My password seams to work fine on the appstore on my phone ( just checked )
    When I try to use my password in itunes on my pc it wont let me log in, and get a unknown error message along with have you forgoten your password... which I havent.
    Thanks for the sugestions

    Contacts are NOT part of the iTunes backup.  If you had read the User Guide when you got your phone, you would have learned that Apple recommends you synch your contacts for safekeeping to your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud service.  Using the phone as your only source of your contacts is foolish as the phone can easily be lost, damaged, stolen, or the data become corrupt.
    If you've been using your phone as strongly recommended, your contacts are safe and sound on your computer or cloud service ready to be synched back to your phone.  Of course, you should be backing up your computer regularly as well.
    If you haven't been doing this, your contacts are likely gone.
