ITunes Not Seeing Album or Song Names

My sofware will not recognize the album or song names when I try to download to my IPOD. I'm getting the following error code when I ask for the track ID...is it related? If not does anyone know who to fix problem? I have already downloaded the software again.
ERROR MESSAGE: "CDDB ERROR Http processing error"

Hi, TroyD1.
>... is it related?
Yes but before fixing it, can you confirm what
firewall you're using on your computer and what your
default web browser is (not sure how that's done in
Windows 2000 but, fwiw, in XP it's done by going to
the Start menu > Contol Panel > Add or Remove
Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults).
Has this ever been answered....Im having the same problems and am trying to find the solution on here - My searches just end up with pple who had the same question but I dont see the answer.
I have windows xp and it was working fine for the first few hours and then stopped working and I have deleted and reinstalled itunes several times but the same issue keeps occuring

  • ITunes not seeing iPod Shuffel songs

    Hi All
    I bought a 2nd gen Shuffel for my girlfriend the other day but ran into plenty of issues.
    Firstly, it did not want to be picked up on her PC (W2k with SP4). It kept saying "iPod is corrupted".
    Then, I plugged it in my laptop (XP Pro). Restored and updated with latest iPod software. Also copied some music from a CD. Everything was working until the next time I plug it back into my laptop again. iTunes does not see any previously installed music on the ipod.
    If I plug it back to my girlfriend's PC (Win2K), once again it say "iPod is corrupted"
    Any input on this please???

    I have used iTunes and iPods for several years. I
    always use automatic updating. Previously, any
    change to a song rating I made on my iPod would be
    reflected in my iTunes library after a sync. Since
    my most recent iTunes update (7.1.1), I have two
    problems. (1) iTunes does not update the ratings
    changes made on my iPod and (2) podcasts which I
    listen to on my iPod are not marked as "not new" in
    iTunes. It appears that Apple has screwed up
    something in the sync process in the newest iTunes
    version. Is anyone else having this problem?
    Having exactly the same problem as your first issue. In the playlist of top-rated tunes they all appear. However my iTunes library has 460 relevant tunes, whereas the same playlist on the iPod has 100 fewer. They are greyed out and can't be changed and aren't played.
    Any ideas?

  • Itunes not seeing Ipod and songs not playing Ipod

    I have a couple of issues just wanted to know if anyone has run into. I have a couple of computer one running Vista, the other XP, neither see the ipod in itunes, both see it in Windows. That is the first problem. I have also tried all of the suggestions in the troubleshooting section of this support website, except re-installing the operating system. The other issue is that the ipod does not play the music that is currently stored on it, it acts like it is going to and then stops the screen turns black and the apple logo appears, any ideas?

    Hello betel23,
    Have you tried resetting the nano yet? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. I would try these more than once just in case.
    Otherwise, try forcing the iPod into *Disk Mode* using the instructions in this Apple support document. It may help your iPod mount as an external drive on your system as well as get it to appear in iTunes.

  • Re-downloaded iTunes I now get mssgs on MANY songs"this comp not authorised to play song name ......etc."

    During pc upgrades Vista to W7 iTunes disappeared.  Re-downloaded iTunes I now get mssgs on MANY songs "this comp not authorised to play <song name>......etc."  I don't know password & the email address (apple id) I no longer have.  So how do I remedy this please?

    As I understand it all iTunes purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID that purchased them. The email address & password combination should remain valid even if you no longer have access to the email address used to set up the account. I had hoped that if you provided both your current and former email addresses using that form, the support team would have been able to confirm your right to the older account and guide you on how to reset the password for it.
    If I understand you correctly all of the songs you have in the library now were downloaded with your current Apple ID, but that download has included the older purchases. Odd that they would download, but then not play. In some cases downloads can be corrupted and this can show as an authorisation problem, so it might be worth deleting a sample track, not hiding from iTunes in the cloud, closing iTunes, reopening, then redownloading. Assuming that doesn't help contact iTunes Store support and explain your issue in detail. https://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    For the future see Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy and make sure your iTunes library and other important data is backed up routinely. That way a drive failure or Windows upgrade won't wipe out your data.

  • When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online.  Do you still want to import the songs?"   This has happened for four CD's in a row now, Eagles - Hotel California.

    Hi All,
    When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online.  Do you still want to import the songs?"   This has happened for four CD's in a row now.  Today, after importing some other CD's in the regular way, all of a sudden, iTunes won't recognize the Eagles - "Hotel California" CD, the Eagles "**** Freezes Over" CD,  "The Best of Roy Orbison" or "Milestones" by Miles Davis.
    What happened?  Anybody know?

    We've gotten the same error at the same time. I guess we need to let this play out. In the meantime, I'm gonna update iTunes.

    Hi
    A couple of weeks ago I tried bying a ringtone from my iPhone and it worked fine. But after syncing with my Mac Mini iTunes i get the error message

    Please help me out

    Anyone???

  • TS5181 My iTunes Radio doesn't show song name please help

    My iTunes Radio doesn't show  song name what can I do

    I suspect that the encoding of the Korean in the stream is not Unicode, which is what iTunes requires. iTunes cannot fix such things by itself.

  • ITunes not seeing my iPhone4...

    This is prolly an old one, but here goes...
    Phone arrived yesterday, attempted so sync on MacBook pro (running Leopard), iTunes not seeing phone.
    Re-installed iTunes 9.2, everything fine.
    Today, attempting to do some more syncing, and, once again, iTunes has amnesia.
    What's going on here?
    Any help would be truly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Just got my iPhone 4 today -iTunes doesn't see mine. Did your issue ever resolve? The phone says NO SERVICE. Was that your issue, too?

  • Rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device.  ??

    rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device.  i'm brand new at apple tv - do i need to enable it or something?

    Is it the little black box? If yes then it is the 2nd model. It won't show up in iTunes as there is no syncing involved. The only time it does is when you connect and need to restore the device.
    You need to enable home sharing in iTunes and on ATV

  • Itunes WILL NOT recognize CD or song names!!

    I have tried EVERYTHING and itunes still isn't recognizing an audio cd until I open it manually, and then it doesn't bring up the album name, or the song names.. I dont know what else to do! I've looked at all the support sites and none of the suggestions will work.. someone PLEASE help..... I have the latest itunes and everything... i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it with the brand new CD and it still wont work! help!

    I had the exact same problem. To fix it I had to put a CD in the drive. Then right click on the cd icon in iTunes and select elect CD. This will kick the cd and once you put a new CD in the drive it should recognize it. As long as you have access to the internet you should be seeing the song names.
    Note: The internet will not find track listings for burnt compilation cds or even complete cds that the songs were downloaded individual and illegally from a peer to peer sharing program.

  • ITunes not seeing iPhoto Albums in iPod interface

    All other iLife apps see the iPhoto albums but not iTunes. The Albums are not listed - just a blank window. When I try to sync all the photos from iPhoto to the iPod I am getting the -50 error.
    I have done the 5R's to the iPod.
    Any ideas?
    TIA
    MJ

    I followed your last instructions but I still get the error-50.
    I think I have narrowed it down to an iPhoto problem.
    I created a new iPhoto album and then created some smart+regular albums and iTunes could see them and sync them to the iPod. I then added about 1500 photos, at some point iTunes refused to see the albums again.
    I will keep at it until ...... if all else fails I will just take the photos that I want on the iPod and export them to an folder and added them to the iPod that way.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Itunes not "seeing" the music...

    I'm using itunes on a PC with Vista Home Premium 32 (no jokes please!) I've got my music on a Seagate Freeagent Go external hard drive. I'll start itunes (yes, I've got the drive connected), I'll go to play a song/album/whatever, and nothing happens. The album artwork will appear in the now playing window, the song name is at the top of the screen but there's no sound and the track time isn't advancing. Is there anybody out there who can tell me what's going on here? Sometimes I'll have to re-start itunes 3 or 4 times before it'll work properly. Please help!

    It might be worth trying a dxdiag to see if that finds anything amiss, michael.
    Go Start > Run. In your Run, type dxdiag and hit enter.
    Work through the troubleshooting tabs. Does dxdiag report any problems?

  • ITunes not seeing music on new computer

    I just copied my iTunes Music folder to a new computer. However the new iTunes that I downloaded on this pc is not seeing the music. I checked the path and it is pointed to the correct folder. If I go in and and do an Import the song will show up in the recently added playlist. Does anyone know if there is a quicker way to get these songs recognized? A mass import or maybe something else that I may have set wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    When you moved iTunes to the new computer did you copy the whole iTunes folder or just the iTunes Music folder? If you only copied the music folder then you've left the library file behind and iTunes has created a new blank one. You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    If you did copy the whole iTunes folder then you need to locate the original library file. Presuming you put everything in the default location, try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
    If you can't locate the library (if you've left it behind and no longer have access to the old computer for example), you'll have to make a new one by going to File>Add Folder to Library and adding the music from the iTunes Music folder that you did move.

  • I can not see all the songs om  my ipod, why

    Boy do I need halp.
    1. I used "computer" windows 7 to delete all the songs on my ipod. BUT they didn't really delete because when I look my ipod in itunes the songs are there.
    2. I had a hard time transfering songs to my ipod so I again used "Computer" and I draged songs from the folder they were in to the ipod. BUT when I look at my ipod in itunes the songs are not listed, BUT there is a large amount of gb listed as other.
    How do I start over?  That is, how do I take EVERYTHING off my ipod; the songs I can and can NOT see.  Remember after i deleted the songs using "computer" the songs are no longer listed but when I check the "disk properties" it shows there is spaced used about the size of the deleted files.
    Thanks

    To start over from scratch, restore the iPod Shuffle to factory settings in iTunes, using the instructions in this Apple support document.
    Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings
    Then make sure that all the music you wish to sync to your Shuffle has been imported and stored in your iTunes library.  Then use this article to walk you through the process of configuring music to sync to your Shuffle via iTunes.
