ITunes organization is messing up my whole library.

I'm hoping someone here has a solution to this. Here goes:
All of my music was originally imported straight off the CD's. I recently (about 4 months ago) deleted (lost due to HDD crash actually) my entire iTunes library. So, I spent many hours stacking all my CD's on the table and re-importing them all one by one.
After completing the re-importation, I burned all of the files onto multiple DVD-RW's, since I really didn't want to go through this again later...
I've since had to reinstall my O/S again. But, hey, I have the DVD's right, so no problem? WRONG.
I put all of my songs back onto my computer from the DVD-RWs. The problem now is that iTunes keeps making changes to all of the song info as the songs play -- but the changes are often wrong. For example, it took a bonus disc and relisted all of the songs as if they were the standard disc. It's also been renaming a lot of the songs with that annoying "01", "02", "03", etc... Initially I didn't have any songs that were "numbered" in their track title. Right now I have 1155 songs that iTunes has messed with and decided to add the track number into the title. What gives?
When I right-click on the songs/albums and try to tell iTunes to update the info, it says it can only update for songs that were imported and it tells me to try importing them again. I DID IMPORT THEM ALL ALREADY.
Is there a fix to this? Right now I'm ready to ditch iTunes altogether as it's just making things worse every step of the way.

hi Lana!
hmmmm. let's see if Ruthie's trick works for you:

  • Itunes 12 keeps deleting all my whole library!!!

    OK so I bought a new computer and installed the newest version of itunes on to it. Every time I put my old library into the itunes program, get it all organised, put audiobooks in the right place, put music into the right artist folder, put movies into the right movies area (not home videos) and I tick all the boxes in the settings section on where to add new things and to keep media folders organised I log off my computer, turn it off, all is good. I come back to it and everything and I mean like everything is gone except for a handful of recently downloaded songs and movies that are pulling in from the cloud. Very select things. Ive put all my folders of media back into itunes several times now and I just can't do it again. Its to the point im wondering if an earlier version of itunes will solve this problem just so that maybe my media will stay where I have put it.
    IS there an easy fix to this or suggestions on what to do. I see that other people have had this problem with other versions of itunes. My library is mixed between purchases and my own files from older versions of media players, cds, and so on. I don't understand what is happening here. Can someone help me please? It is so frustrating, and I don't even have a choice to walk away from apple because everything but my computer is apple. and I don't think there is away to put music on to my phone or audiobooks or anything without itunes.
    Is there a solution?

    I'm not certain I know what the issue is, but I would start by excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time anti-virus scanning activity.
    See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash - you may well have .tmp files in your iTunes folder that represent your recent lost libraries. Perhaps you can restore one of them. You can also take a manual backup of the iTunes Library.itl file, assuming iTunes can close without dumping it.

  • HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

    How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.    

    For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

  • Why does iTunes make a mess out of my TV Shows library?

    I'm not really sure where to post this, as it doesn't seem like Apple pays much attention to the official Apple Support Forums, but I'll give it a go nontheless.
    The thing is, as most Apple TV owners I have to rely on iTunes for handling my media library in order to get it working towards my Apple TV (currently an Apple TV 3rd Generation, Rev A) which is perfectly fine. I find iTunes to be very well organised and owning several OS X systems, only using iOS devices and everything my music library already consists of only ALAC (Apple Lossless) music tracks and I like to keep all my audio books in M4B (AAC) simply because it’s much better organized this way. As long as all the metadata is done right one can’t really complain about how iTunes is doing things other than the Windows version being rather slow when you start filling it up with content, the OS X version is vastly superior in terms of performance and overall stability but I guess that is to be expected.
    I have absolutely no problems with my ALAC (Apple Lossless) music library, no matter how many tracks I add they are all there, with the correct metadata and everything. Same goes for my audio book library, the only ones being somewhat troublesome are those I’ve got in MP3 format instead of M4B (AAC) as they get automatically listed as music instead of audio books, but that’s fixed within a matter of seconds just marking them as audio book in iTunes metadata. My movie library, which used to consists of loads of self-ripped Blu-Rays encoded to MKV’s with either Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 is now repacked into M4V / MP4 containing Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) and with the help of metadata downloaded from IMDB they are all listed correctly with the correct metadata, so all is good and dandy.
    But when it comes to TV-Shows things starts to get messy. We are still talking about only M4V / MP4 files containing mostly Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) audio tracks, and a few containing 2.0 AAC audio tracks. The problem is iTunes is making a complete mess out of things, no matter what I do.
    Some TV-shows are added and shown correctly in my iTunes library, others are just not working out at all! Take my six seasons of LOST for instance.
    I tried to redo the metadata on the first six episodes of season 06, but they just won’t show no matter what I do. The weirdest thing with these episodes is that when I manually play the M4V files using iTunes, iTunes recognise them as LOST Season 02 episodes and not Season 03 episodes. So LOST Season 03 - Episode 01 which is "01. A Tale of Two Cities" is shown as LOST Season 02 - Episode 10 which is "10. The 23rd Psalm". That's quite odd, which was the reason why I went ahead and rework the metadata of these episodes just to be sure.
    But still it won’t show in the iTunes library and when manually opening the M4V files with iTunes it still shown as being "10. The 23rd Psalm" instead of "01. A Tale of Two Cities". If I open the file with QuickTime Player, Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic Home Cinema they all list it as "01. A Tale of Two Cities" and not "10. The 23rd Psalm" as iTunes does. Watching the playback is making quite clear it's indeed playing back A Tale of Two Cities and not The 23rd Pslam episodes, even in iTunes.
    I have no clues why iTunes is making a mess out of the first six episodes of LOST Season 03, it really doesn't make much sense as there is nothing with the M4V files, their contains or their metadata that points towards iTunes recognising it as a LOST Season 2 episode at all.
    Just to confirm the metadata in iTunes I tried to remove the whole LOST series from my library and went ahead and added ONLY the first six episodes of Season 03 and nothing else. Then they are showing correctly, with the correct metadata for each and every episode.
    But upon adding the rest of the bunch they disappear and suddenly iTunes starts mixing the first six episodes of Season 03 as Season 02 episodes...
    As soon as I add any episode of LOST Season 02, 10-15 they seem to replace LOST Season 03, 1-6. So Season 03 is working perfectly, having all the right metadata and everything but as soon as I add LOST Season 02, Episode 10, LOST Season 03, Episode 01 starts playing as LOST Season 02, Episode 10 and then disappears from the library. Upon adding and playing back LOST Season 02, Episode 11 it replaces LOST Season 03, Episode 02 which then disappears from the library and this goes on for episode 10-15 of Season 02 which for some reason replaces episode 01-06 of Season 03.
    This isn’t isolated to only LOST, same goes for a few of my House M.D season whereas iTunes is starting make a mess of things mixing metadata of Season 3 with metadata of Season 4 for no obvious reason. This is quite frustrating as this renders my Apple TV quite useless when iTunes is not capable of handling my media library correctly.
    Several episodes are missing in quite a few of my various TV Shows as well, some requires me to manually open the M4V / MP4 while browsing my library for it to get listed as it’s not being added while adding the folder to my library.
    This has been going on ever since iTunes 10.X, and it’s behaving like this on all my system it being Windows 7, Windows 8, OS X Mountain Lion or OS X Mavericks. Surely something has to be done in order to solve this? There is nothing wrong with my M4V / MP4 files as I’ve re-ripped them, re-encoded them, re-done their metadata and everything without any luck and consider it only happens with various TV shows and not with my music, audio book nor my movie library I see nothing pointing at it being a problem with my content but rather iTunes making it all fuzzy for no apparent reason.

    Seems like I actually figured out what was going on.. When I re-do my MKV's into MP4 / M4V's applications like Subler, MKVtoMP4 and other toolkits are grabbing metadata from servers like IMDB.
    Upon retrieving metadata they also grab something called "XID" which is supposedly Apple's very own iTunes specific ID or serial if you like for each specific TV show available through the iTunes Store. This seems to be causing the problems with missing episodes and episodes starting to playback as a different episode from another season.
    I always wondered why House Season 04 - Episode 01 - "Alone" always got played back as House Season 03 - Episode 11 - "Words of Deeds". It was always the exact same mix-up each and every time. iTunes never seems to mix-up anything other than the same specific episodes each and every time, and all the missing episodes are always the same ones, from the same TV show, from the very same season. I always found that a bit strange as I would expect library mix-ups from iTunes to be somewhat random and not consistent like this.
    So I tried to simply tried something completely random, renaming House Season 04 - Episode 01 - "Alone" into "RARW Season 11 - Episode 42 - "Come at me bro"" and House Season 03 - Episode 11 - "Words of Deeds" into "TESTING Season 04 - Episode 05 - "Testing this"" and it will still do the same, now my randomly generated metadata of "RARW Season 11 - Episode 42 - "Come at me bro"" was played back as "TESTING Season 04 - Episode 05 - "Testing this"". So it clearly had nothing to do with whatever metadata I added to the video within iTunes, it would continuously mix-up the very same episode no matter what.
    So then I grab my toolkit to see what kind of information was garter from IMDB's database to see if I could spot anything weird going on? I didn't really see anything, but I noticed the XID with it's "Apple:vendor_id:2003-tt0367279" input, so even though these two episodes had different XIDs I tried to simply input my very own like "House Season 03" and "House Season 04" and then all of sudden everything worked out perfectly.
    I'm not entirely sure whos to blame here. As the XID was indeed different I see no reason why iTunes should confuse one for the other in the first place, perhaps there is something fuzzy with the iTunes database or something. I don't really care though, I see no value in having the "correct" XID as long as my iTunes library is showing and playing back everything correctly so now I have just went ahead and re-done ALL my XID's of every TV Show to have their very own for each season just to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

  • I downloaded version 11 for the itunes library and updated my ipod to ios6, today when I click to open itunes, it wont open and says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library?

    I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

    you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
    Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

  • HT1351 Only want to see sync songs/artists/albums on iPod touch (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it?

    I only want to see on iPod touch songs/artists/albums manually selected for sync (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it? Not sync titles appear in grey colour...

    So if I understand you correctly, you want to be able to sync only certain songs, artists, and albums correct? If so you can configure this set up from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes as described in the Syncing Automatically section in the Apple support document you linked in at the top of the page.  Note that you cannot select only certain songs, but you can set it up to sync selected Artists, Genres, and Albums.
    If the tab and its configurations are grayed out, it is likely because your iPod is set up for manual management, meaning the manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.

  • How do I make itunes 11 go back to playing my whole library after search

    I just upgraded to iTunes 11. I'll search an artist just to find a song more quickly and double click on a song to play it. Then, I'll press x in the search box so it displays my library again, and in previous versions of iTunes after the song ended it would go back to shuffling through my whole library. In iTunes 11, however, it only plays songs by that artist unless I select another song directly from the library. Is there a setting I can change to make it shuffle my library after I've selected a song?

  • My iTunes says there are 17 songs it cannot locate. How do I locate which songs these are without clicking on each song in my whole library?

    My iTunes says there are 17 songs it cannot locate. How do I locate which songs these are without clicking on each song in my whole library?

    To locate all of the broken links in your library try:
    Lost & Found Playlists
    Create a regular playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. They can be deleted with Ctrl+A to select them and then Shift+Delete to discard them.
    The exercise can be repeated with different media sources if needed.
    Or try iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

  • How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
    But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
    Leave everything checked.
    Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.

  • Auto-syncing ipod with itunes: how not to have it synced with whole library

    I remember a year ago when I had itunes automatically sync with my ipod, it created a playlist, something along the name of "NAME's iPOD SONGS" or something like that. And then every time i connected my ipod, it would only look into that playlist to see what's been added or removed, and so it would sync only with that folder.
    But now, it wants to sync with my whole library, which doesn't fit on my ipod. How do I make it sync with only a playlist instead?
    Thanks

    Connect your iPod to iTunes
    When it appears click on the iPod icon in the left hand pane
    Select the Music tab
    Near the top of the tab select *Sync Music* & *Selected playlists:*
    Check the playlists you want to include, uncheck those you don't

  • Itunes deleted my library from my ipod. now i only have new purchases. how can I get my whole library back onto my ipod?

    I just transferred itunes to a new computer. When I plugged in my ipod, I was asked if I wanted to erase my old library and put the new on on. I said yes because my whole library is on this computer. Now that it's done with the sync, I only have the three albums that I just purchased and all of the rest is gone. How can I sync my whole music library back onto this device?

    If the lost music and photos are no longer accessible by or on your iPod, on your PC, or in another backup somewhere, you are out of luck.  You can download most iTunes purchases again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information and assistance.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to redownload or rerip them from their original source.
    For the future, you may want to consider backing up your iTunes library and/or PC.

  • HT4914 I have made a mess of my music library in ITunes, will ITunes Match help?

    I have many songs not labelled correctly or recorded using less than great quality in my Itunes library.  I'm wanting to know if I sign up for ITunes Match, how do I get the enhanced, properly labeled library loaded back into my Itunes once it has been in the cloud and presumably been replaced by the high quality of the Apple library versions with all the proper labelling?  In other words, the versions in my ITunes are substandard, if I get ITunes Match will the versions in my computer's Itunes be converted to the better version and if not how can I accomplish that?  Or does the better version only work when streaming from the cloud?
    I went into an Apple store and no one there could figure out the answer to this.  They thought I might have to delete my entire library from my computer then restore from the cloud but no one was sure.  Is there a conclusive answer on the way to do this?  If it will work, it would be worth it to me to get the ITunes Match just to clean up my library. 

    Michael,
    If the CDs were ripped a few years ago using a space-economical setting, then chances are that 256 will indeed be an upgrade.
    After you upgrade a few songs as onesie-twosies, and have verified that you are comfortable with the results, you can start doing larger batches.  But I certainly do not endorse any advice that begins like "Step 1: delete your entire library"!
    Also, make sure to make a backup before you begin, so if anything goes amiss, you can retrieve your current copy.  Here is the official guidance from Apple Legal:
    "iTunes Match is provided on an “AS IS” basis and may contain errors or inaccuracies that could cause failures, corruption or loss of data and/or information, including music, playlist, and play history, from your computer or device and from peripherals (including, without limitation, servers and other computers) connected thereto. You should back up all data and information on your computer or device and any peripherals prior to using iTunes Match. You expressly acknowledge and agree that all use of iTunes Match is at your sole risk."

  • All playlist folders contain the whole library

    Hi everybody,
    I recently updated iTunes to the newest version and now ran into some problems.
    First off, everything was gone from the libraryl, no songs, no playlists, nothing. I then tried to recover this by using this guide http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451.
    This kind of worked, but now I have a new problem.
    Most of my songs seem to be back in the library. However, I also had playlist folders containing playlists. If I click on those folders, it doesn't only show the content in the playlists, but all the content of the whole library. This means in every folder, about 450 interprets are shown, even ones that I did never put into those playlists.
    I tried to delet stuff from those folders, however, that does not work. It just doesn't delete it, but gives no error message whatsoever. I can hit delete as many times as I want, still the songs remain in the folders.
    The weirdest thing is, that if I go through the playlists, the songs are in none of them. Example: let's say the folder is called A, and contains the playlists B and C. If I click on A, it shows me my whole library. If I click on B and C, each of the lists only show the songs that should be in there, but not the rest of the library.
    I have no idea why this happens, nor have I found any solution to this, and it is very annoying, since this basically messed up my whole organization, and I can't even reorganize it, because it won't let me delete anything.
    I also want to add that I can very well delete items from the library, just not from the folders.

  • Sync iTunes Win(Bootcamp)/Mac using the SAME Library

    I know this question has ben asked a lot, but most of these questions are dealing with multiple physical units.
    I have a Mac Pro Quad Core that is running Win7 under Bootcamp. Therefore, I am using the same hardware for both operating systems.
    I have my iTunes Library (the whole Library, not just music files) pointing to a separate, internal drive. Both the Mac and Windows version of iTunes point to the same iTunes Library on the same drive. The Windows version of iTunes has Library organization turned off (mostly because the external drive is HFS+ and Windows gets cranky with that). To be clear: my iTunes Library lives on a drive that is not my boot drive and is not in my User Account directory.
    I am using the Mac OS iTunes to manage, maintain and organize the Library. The PC version of iTunes is strictly used as a jukebox. There is no cross contamination of OSes as far as file acquisition. I even sync my iPhone solely on the Mac side.
    For those unfamiliar with Bootcamp, the technology pushes me into either a Mac state or a PC state, I am not running the OSes concurrently.
    What I would like is to have whatever file management I do Mac-side be reflected PC side without me having to re-import the Library every time I make a change.
    Currently, if I add music on the Mac-side, or if I add comments, or anything else carried in the metadata, the changes will not reflect PC-side. I have to reimport the Library, which wipes my ratings and play count and is very annoying.
    I would like to know if it is possible to set up the PC version of iTunes to simply update the Library automatically, so that any change I make on the Mac-side is already reflected in the Windows version. For instance, I manage my play lists by comments - so I have "AOR Classic Rock" as a comment entry. If I add this comment to 10 songs on my Mac, I would like the Windows version of iTunes to just have "AOR Classic Rock" in the comments without me having to reimport the songs that changed.
    I do not expect reciprocity, since I don't believe Windows iTunes can change files on a Mac formatted drive, but that's okay. I just want the changes I make on the Mac to sync to the PC.
    You would THINK that having iCoud, I could use iCloud to sync all my iTunes settings and my Windows iTunes would mirror my Mac iTunes (at least for playlist, count and ratings). I do not have iTunes Match and am debating if its worth the cost. If iTunes Match will create the sync scenario I am looking for, it may very well be worth it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll need to install the appropriate drivers, and possibly move the library to a disk in a different format, so that each operating system can read and write to the drive. Then there is no reason why you can't open the "same" library in either system, and thus it will always be up to date. Moving back & forth between the OSs should be no more difficult than opening the same library on an external drive on a number of different systems. Provided all the content is in a standard layout, media folder inside the iTunes library folder, it should just work.
