ITunes no longer seems to embed all data in mp3's

Hi all, been using iTunes for years now and one thing i've always liked is if i've imported a CD in to iTunes, i can simply transfer the files to another MAC/PC, drag and drop in to the library and all of the song info, artwork etc is there.
Since approx iTunes 7/Transferring to Intel Macs i'm not finding this is the case, whenever i try and transfer albums to a new machine now all i have is the song title and the artwork, everything else is missing. This is really frustrating, am i doing anything wrong.
Thanks in Advance

  • ITunes opens as if it erased all data whereas all still stored in lib

    Hi there,
    when I open iTunes (7.01), all is blank (no more music, settings, podcasts, purchases) as if I just downloaded it.
    However,all data (music/video/podcasts) still exist in
    c:/Documents.../my music...iTunes.
    When I try to sync my iPod, iTunes says that my iPOd is linked to another library.
    Except from importing song by song in iTunes, how can I reconnect to the relevant original library?

    hi
    This is an amateur solution, but I am an amateur, and
    I may have justed created doubles of my entire
    library, but it seems to have solved the problem that
    several people, including me, have mentioned in the
    last few days on this forum.
    In i-Tunes go into the Edit menu, then Preferences
    and then Advanced. Check the i-tunes music library
    location in that window. Remember it or write it
    down.
    Now close all that and open the File menu. Click on
    Add folder to library and then browse to the i-tunes
    library folder you have just located. This will then
    take a few seconds to refill your library. Panic
    over! I think!
    btw I called an Apple helpdesk about this and they
    said they’d never heard of the problem, nor did they
    have any solution for it.
    hope it works for you

    Andy,
    thanks for the tip!
    It worked well.
    Only drawback is I have to re-insert my old columns, but I can live with that.
    Best regards!

  • My iphone is in recovery mode, the itunes and usb cable symble, is all data lost at this point or is it possible to recover some or all data on the phone?

    My iphone is in recovery mode, the itunes and usb cable symble displayed, does this mean that all data is lost or is there some way to recover the data on the phone.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • I have obsolete computers attached to my appleid when I try to add the new computers to my itunes store and purchases to keep all data updated and together....and not have to repurchase.  I had a fire...thus, old computers are gone and I cannot unauthoriz

    I have obsolete computers and devices attached to my appleid.  I cannot deauthorize them as they are gone!!!  (Had a fire and had to replace all tech systems)  Because I spent alot of monies on my purchases, it would be nice to be able to combine all these items and not have to repurchase them.  How can I update the current number of computers and correct ipods, ipads and iphones together; and get rid of all old computers and ipods, iphones that are authorized under the appleid I have always used.  I have asked this question before, but received no support or answers.  I do have icloud and mobileme, but cant sychonize them either. 
       I am also seriously considering purchasing a mac, and no longer using the windows pc\s as too many tech difficulties arise when I tackle complicated projects regarding DVD and moving making.  However, I still require pc software for my work.  Will my current backup network system convert easily?  Can it be converted?  Will I require a tech and if so, how much will this cost?  I have recently invested a large sum into creating a network and backup system that has yet to be working as it should.  Unfortuneately it has left me with very little left to try to convert to the mac systems entirely.  Please answer my questions in a language that I can understand.....as this problem is affecting my household, organization and office techniques.  Would like to take care of this problem once and for all.  Mac seems to work with my creative desires much better.  Will await your response.....Thank you.

    If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • AMSCHECK doesn't seem to receive all data in live broadcasting.

    Hi,
    I'm testing AMS for live broadcasting with AMSCHECK. A Flash program published a video stream at around 400Kbps. Using a Flash-based viewer, the reproduced image was fine and the AMS administration console reported the out-going bit rate was about 400Kbps per viewer (normal). Then using AMSCHECK to receive the same stream, the AMS administration console reported it was 50Kbps (of course it should have been 400Kbps). Looking at access.00.log and calculating the average streaming bitrate from the 'duration' and 'sc-stream-bytes', they corresponded to the values reported by the monitor. And changing the source configuration and increasing the stream bitrate to about 1Mbps, again AMSCHECK seemed to receive only 50Kbps. For making our stress check meaningful, we need AMSCHECK receives all the data being broadcasted. Is there any way for AMSCHECK to receive all the steam in live broadcasting?
    Note that we used a modified 'livepkgr' as the application.
    Thanks,
    Yoichi

    There is nothing you can do.
    You cannot use other countries itunes stores.

  • I Deleted my icloud account and then deleted a game for space I then downloaded it again and all data was lost but I have an itunes backup on my pc before all data was deleted can I restore my ipad to that date and get my data back the game is deerhunter

    So on Deer Hunter 2014 I had all my data but before that I changed my apple id email so I deleted my old icloud and logged in again. So after that I deleted Deer Hunter 2014 for some temporary space and then redownloaded it again, all my data was gone and I was back to the beggining but before this incident I backed up my Ipad on itunes on my pc. Can I use this backup to restore my data to that point in time if not is there a way I can (I did not purchase anything in the game so I cant restore purchases).
    Thanks in advanced

    Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
    Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
    Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.

  • ITunes 10.2.2 - Why have all of my mp3 files have been duplicated in the filesystem?

    Nearly every single "Song.mp3" has a corresponding "Song 1.mp3". It's going to take forever to clean up manually.
    This isn't just an issue with "recently added" music, it looks like every item in the filesystem has been duplicated. I didn't, to my knowledge, hit any "duplicate every mp3" button and folders aren't duped, just individual files. Is this an iTunes auto-sorting bug? Is there an easy fix?
    I should add that the duplicates are *not* present in iTunes, just in the Finder.

    Do you mean 5/6 7/8 for the output channels?
    If so: Is the Firepod still hooked up? If not, you are donw to the default 1/2 outputs of you Mac.

    The three music came with your operating system.
    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • My iTunes no longer copies my Contacts to my iPod when I have the 'info' box ticked?

    I used to have my Contacts copied onto my iPod classic until recently.     Now iTunes now longer seems to want to do this for me, and i get the following messsage "iTunes will no longer sync contacts to the iPod" without any other help or explanation.   I have ticked the relevant box in 'info' along with my calender which is copy over perfectly OK.    What's going on, can anyone help?    I have done all the usual 'Resetting" etc, but still no joy.

    Go into the iTunes preferences and turn off the options that have you Copy Music To My Library.
    Then, add the top folder which contains your music to iTunes - it will create links to your remote folder rather than copy all music to your netbook.
    ** Edit
    You can set the location of your music here too.

  • ITunes cannot read ID3 tags written by Perl module MP3::Tag?

    Greetings,
    Just trying to re-arrange ID3 information in a large set of MP3 files. Before I run the following Perl script, iTunes can read the ID3 tagging information. After writing ID3 inform ation to the MP3, iTunes no longer reads any tagging information from the MP3.
    Does anyone have any information regarding this? There is some cryptic information in the MP3::Tag POD regarding setting the "id3v23_unsync" option but that doesn't seem to alter the impact on iTunes at all. Windows and other tag readers seem to be able to read the all ID 3v1 and ID3v2 tags just fine (including the altered fields) after running the following script.
    Thanks for any suggestions/guidance anyone can provide.
    Description: the following program takes an MP3 filename as input.
    Action: It appends the value in the Album field to front of the TITLE Field. That's it! Easy!
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    use MP3::Tag;
    MP3::Tag-> config(id3v23_unsync=>FALSE);
    my $filename = $ARGV[0];
    $mp3 = MP3::Tag-> new($filename);
    @info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
    @albnum = split(/_/, $info[3]);
    $frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
    print $frame;
    $mp3-> {ID3v1}->title("$albnum[0] $info[0]");
    $mp3-> {ID3v2}->change_frame("TIT2","$albnum[0] $info[0]");
    $mp3-> {ID3v1}->write_tag();
    $mp3-> {ID3v2}->write_tag();
    @info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
    print $info[0]; //print ID3v1 TITLE field
    $frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
    print $frame; //print ID3v2 Title2 field
    $mp3-> close();
    Thanks!

    SOLVED
    Changing the config entry (Line 3 in original listing) to:
    MP3::Tag->config("id3v23_unsync",0);
    fixed the problem with iTunes.
    NOTE: This means that iTunes version 7.x still has the synchronization problem alluded to in the documentation (POD) for this Perl module. I just had the syntax wrong to set the workaround parameter.
    That aside, iTunes 7.2 works quite nicely with the modified MP3. Artwork (even though this was a modified and obscure (and legal) Bible audio, it found additional information about the MP3 in the online database).
