ITunes mixing up song names and the album artworks.

This is hard to explain but I'll do my best. For the record, I have 2 iPods that sync with the same playlist (iPod Touch 2nd Gen 4.2.1 for main music and iPod Nano 5th Gen for excercise). I decided to rip a recently purchased CD today and sync it to my iPod. I opened iTunes like normal and I noticed a bunch of unwanted songs in my playlist I use for my iPods. Upon investigation, I noticed the songs are my normal songs, but iTunes has given them the title and album art of a different song in my library. When I click Get Info the correct song name appears in the title box. When I click ok to get out of that menu, the song returns back to the normal title, artist, and artwork. (An example, a song titled Amarillo Sky by Jason Aldean was really Do I by Luke Bryan. When I left Get Info, the song corrected its info back to Do I) After rebuilding my entire playlist and having to re-locate several songs that were now listed under incorrect titles and artists, I syned my iPod nano and realized that some of the songs under the "Songs" category aren't in alphebetical order like they should be. This really bugs me as I like my songs to be in order. To make matters worse, iTunes insists on changing some of the songs back to the incorrect title after I fixed them (Love in an Elevator by Aerosmith keeps getting turned into Eat the Rich by Aerosmith). Any suggestions to fix this ordeal?

Try signing out of the iTunes store. If that doesn't work try rolling back to an older version of your iTunes database as described in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Changing song names and adding album artwork

Some of the songs that i imported into itunes by some artists, lets say for example "Less Than Jake" shows up as "less than jake" (uncapitalized) when i go to change the first letter which is an "l" to a capital "L" i successfully change the name in itunes and then when i am done changing ti and click on another song it just goes back to lower case
does anyone know how to fix that so that the names that i fix stay fixed not just go back
Another question that i have is some of my artists albums do not have album artwork and when i right click on the album and say get album artwork nothing happens. And i already registered with itunes store so its not that it wont get the album artwork because i didn't register with itunes. Is there anyway to copy the album picture from the internet and get it associated with that specific album in itunes anyway?
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Greg,
Are you just typing over the name as it appears in your iTunes library?
I am not familiar with the Windows version, but in the Mac version, the best way to edit song title/artist/genre, etc is to select a song and then "Get Info" - in the Mac version that is under the "File" menu - a right click will probably work for you. There are several tabs on the Get Info screen - go to the "Info" tab and you will see what to do.
As for album artwork, iTunes has been pretty good about finding artwork for for those albums which I purchased from the iTunes store, but was no help at all in finding art for the (many) albums I ripped from my CDs.
You COULD find the album art yourself, using Google 'Images' but I think you will find it to be too tedious, and most of the album cover JPEGs you will find by that method are too small and of poor quality.
It would be better to use a third party application. For Mac users I can recommend Fetch Art (http://members.cox.net/afriesen3//fetchart/index.html); I expect there is something similar for Windows, but I can't be specific.

Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix!

The song palying and the album are not the same.

When I'm playing my music on my iphine, the song and the album are not the same. Sometimes they are not even close to the same thing.

hi
You have to click on the song with the right click (or Option Click) and click on get information,
in that menu you can define the order in the album

Every time I connect my iPod to sync new music, other music files are updated while syncing and the album artwork is deleted during this process. How do I stop this from happening?

The album artwork for my music that is already on my iPod is being deleted every time I sync new music to my iPod. I currently have no album artwork at all, only for the new music that had been synced recently.

Itunes Jumbling up Song Names and actual Files

Hi,
i've searched the forum google and everywhere and can't seem to find an answer.
recently my Itunes has been going a bit mad. I've selected a song say:
"Jamiroquai- Virtual Insanity" in the library but it will play a completly different song but keep the name as "Jamiroquai-Virtual Insanity", i know the tracks are named correctly so why would it do this? it only started recently just after i passed the 100,000+ track mark?
ive tried backing up the XML file, deleting the current data and restoring it and that didnt seem to help.. any more ideas?

I don't know what is going on and I have no experience of such a large library but a few suggestions.
Select a problem track but instead of playing it, select Get Info.
Check the tag data, is it OK?
Then check the file location on the summary tab is it pointing at right file?
If iTunes plays the wrong file, it suggests that the library is pointing at the wrong place.
If you suspect that the problem is due to your large library, you could make a smaller test library to see if the problem occurs there.
Close iTunes and drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml out of the iTunes folder to your desktop. (You can put them back later).
Now open iTunes and an empty library is created.
Try adding a few folders to see if the problem occurs. If not, try adding you whole iTunes music folder, does the problem occur?
To restore things, delete your test library files and copy the library files you dragged to your desktop back into the iTunes folder.

I tried deleting some songs off my ipod nano in order to make some room for new ones, an 'error' window popped up and the album artwork was deleted along with the song, but the blank cover and name still shows up? Help!

yeah, clue's in the name?

Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
Not much you can do, but try this anyway...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

I've tried everything I can think of to get my Iphone 4S to play albums like an Ipod does. All it ever does is play the songs but not the albums in alphabetical order. I used to think I was reasonably intelligent until I butted heads with this phone.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

Is there any possible way to set your itunes to just show the album name without the songs included in the album in artist view. and then be able to select the album to expand all the songs. this would be ideal as I have many albums under certain artists

I use to use windows media player. The layout was great. It would have icons (one of the album artwork inside the folder) for the artists. you could click on the artist and it would have the icons for all of the albums (similar to itunes) however it would not have all the songs included in that album listed underneath or within it. you had to click on the icon for the album to go into that particular album to view the songs. In my personal opinion this was much easier to search for a particular album especially if you had many albums under one artist as I do. I collect live concert recordings for several particular bands. It would be really nice if itunes would allow you to contract the songs names within each album under artist view and have some way to exand them or open a seperate album folder when clicking on the album name through artist view. is this even possible. does anyone know a way to allow this is happen. you would make a serious music collector very happy. I know this is a crazy request but for people who are serious music collectors like myself with over a TB of music it is much easier to consolidate each individual album under each individual artist for faster searching/viewing needs

You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

I can no longer edit song and album information in iTunes. I right click on the album, the window opens with "get info", "rating", etc., but none of it operates. What did I change to make it stop working?

Hi
-I have organized all my songs in iTunes ,deleted unwanted songs and updated the album artwork but it has not changed them in my iTunes media folder location in my C Drive.
How do I update it there so it is the same as my iTunes now so i can back it all up?
Thankyou.

I solved my problem. Here's how:
1. Right click iTunes and click properties from the "Windows 8 Desktop" (or if you want to call it the 7 desktop thats fine too)
2. Select the compatibility tab.
3. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and click apply.
4. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes store, Turn on iTunes Match, Add your computer.
5. Close Program
6. Restart Computer

TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50). I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

Help!

I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.
