ITunes Song Titles in Slideshow

I have iPhoto 5 and the most recent iTunes. When I create add music to a slideshow, I cannot see the individual songs, just the top level places like playlists. The workaround is to put the song in the playlist, but I should be able to see the songs, right?
There is a support article which says to "have iTunes running", but I tried that and it did not work.
Is this an incompatibility with my relatively old iPhoto and my newer iTunes?

Keith,
There should be a drop-down menu in the window where you can toggle from "iTunes Playlists" to "iTunes Library." See the screenshots that lori refers to in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3836266&#3836266

Import files into iTunes song title is truncated

When importing files using the "File - Add File To Library" function for songs with very long title names, the song title is being truncated at about 35 characters upon import into Itunes. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

iTunes supports a maximum of 40 characters for file and folder names, inclusive of file extension for the files that it manages.
Tag properties such as Artist, Album, and Name are typically limited to 256 characters. Files in .wav format don't have a tag so it is usually these that cause difficulties when reimported to iTunes. The filename including any leading track number is used as the name of the imported track and all other fields are left blank. If iTunes was managing the track names in a previous library then the 40 character limits will apply reducing what can be read from the path and on reimport iTunes will typically move the files from their original location into the Unknown Artist\Unknown Album folder discarding more potentially useful information. If this is the issue, but you have the files somewhere in sensible artist and album folder with longer filenames, then turn off the options for Keep... and Copy... before adding to the library and use my script TagFromFilename to reconstruct missing information from the file path.
If the issue is simply how iTunes names the imported track when viewed in Windows Explorer, and it has the complete information in the iTunes interface, then you can use my script ConsolidateByMovingLong.

Apply an iTunes song to a slideshow

I have changed the start and stop times of a particular song in iTunes (under the Get Info/Options feature) because I don't want the whole song to play for my slideshow. But when I drag the song from the Audio list into the Slideshow slides and then play it, iDVD plays the whole song, ignoring my start and stop times. Is there a way to make this work?

Hello,
In the past i have imported the song from iTunes into Garageband, shortened it to where i want and make it fade out rather than having a sudden stop. When i am finished i save it and close GB. When you are applying a song to your slideshow, you need to look under garageband instead of iTunes in the media tab and you will find the song you just created in GB. Add that song to your project and your done!

Itunes & song titles/artists

When I try to download new purchased music, itunes won't recognize the artist or song titles?
Is it just a setting?

Are you just getting Track 01, Track 02 etc. is your internet connection open when you are importing? For commercial CDs, you have to connect to the internet as iTunes picks up the track information from an online database. It will do this automatically if you are connected while you are importing or you can do it afterwards by connecting to the internet, highlighting the tracks and going to Advanced>Get CD Track names. See if this helps explain things a bit better than I have: How iTunes remembers Audio CDs

Printing I Tunes CD Song-Title Listing

The ITunes Song-Title feature allows for three types of Song-Title lists being available for printing, namely...Song Listing....Album Listing and CD Jewel Case.Since updating to the 11.0.0.63 version of ITunes I've been experiencing problems with the CD Jewel Case feature. It prints the listing with the song titles one over each other, making them illegible.The other two features are printing properly so I assume it is not a Printer problem but more likely a Program glitz.. I would appreciate any advise in solving this problem...Thanks

Good news! I received an iTunes update (11.0.1.12) from Apple today and the problem is fixed.

FOUR letter song titles?!?"ZMMH?

Sorry to x-post on 2 discussions but it is a "using" question caused by an "installation and upgrade"
Since my iTunes 5 upgrade disaster and finally getting iTunes 4.9 back on my now functioning computer, I notice that some of the songs I managed to rescue from some sort of internal filing oblivion now have their titles replaced by FOUR capital letters (and also no longer are associated with albums). What the heck does this mean???
for example "ZMMH" "UYFR" . They aren't abbreviations as far as I can tell and I know that these songs used to appear with their proper titles.
I really don't want to plug an iPod into itunes for fear that it will rename the songs in the iPod as well. Is this a permanent destruction of my iTunes song titles or will this get miraculously fixed if iTunes 5 ever gets released in a functioning way?
Thanks for any info / help

I've got an iPod Shuffle. If I surf to it in Windows Explorer (where it shows up as USB storage device), I can see that my .mp3 files are renamed with 4 letter names, but the ID3 tags are still intact. I think the 4 letter name may be some kind naming convention used by the iPod's file system?
Don't know if this anything to do with your problem but it might be related.

My songs are in my iTunes library but the song titles do not show up on the songs list.

I have an older generation iPod nano, do I need to go back to an older version of iTunes so I can see the song titles on the song list? If so, does anyone have a link to the oder verson?

Does anyone know of an audio CD burner that will consistently label the original information?
Audio CDs do NOT have info except for CD-TEXT, no matter which program you use.
The Redbook audio CD standard does not allow for anything except CD-TEXT.
iTunes will write CD-TEXT but it will not read CD-TEXT.
You can burn data CDs and all the info will be retained and can be played in iTunes.

How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank you

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I use only a portion of a song in my iTunes in my iPhoto slideshow?

I already tried making the song shorter in iTunes by using the start and stop options and it does indeed make the song shorter in iTunes, but when I choose the song within iPhoto, the slideshow uses the long version of the song. What do I need to do to just use like a minute of the song in the slideshow?

The settings you use to play in iTunes do not get retained in other apps. What you can do is open Garage Band, drag the song from iTunes into a GB track, then edit the song as you like. You can even adjust the fade in/out exactly to the length and duration you want. When the song is trimmed, Share to iTunes, where it will become a separate song. Select that for your slideshow, or place it in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist for your slideshow.
Regards.

I purchased a song on iTunes and it is displayed in my list of SONGS. However, when I try to add to my iPhone 4, it displays with a small circle of dots to the left of the song title and will not play. How do I get this song onto my device?

I downloaded latest version of iTunes for PC on my XP. Works fine. Connected my iPhone 5. I can see it. Cannot transfer any of my music to iPhone. I pull song to the right of screen, phone access pops open, plus sign on song title, drop it in, nothing

1) Downloaded latest iTunes version onto PC
2) connected iPhone 5 to PC
3) Transferred songs from my files to iPhone - everything worked ok.
4) downloaded app from Mac appstore - iConverter - to convert ringtones for use on iPhone
5) converted ringtones as instructed and got them over to iPhone to use - in process, had to SYNC tones and therefore, lost all the music files I had on iPhone.
6) went back to iTunes to copy over music files again and nothing would transfer. The iPhone listing on the right would pull out when I'd drag the music file over. A + sign would show on the song title and I would drop it in. I check my iPhone music and nothing is there.
7) also, a couple of songs somehow transferred in on their own and I can't delete them from the iPhone.
8) if I try to SYNC my music to the phone, it will erase the ringtones.
HELP!

From the box the iphone came in:
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account

How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

I have a very old (by computer standards) MacBook Pro, and a newer one. I've been using the old one mostly for iTunes, into which I have only CD entries. For a long time, years, the old MacBook pro ceased entering the song titles. This is very time consuming for me, so I finally investigated a bit further.
I discovered how to enter the track titles onto my newer MacBook Pro, and was so pleased! But when I tried to do the same with the other laptop, it failed.
What I did, basically, was what the Apple Help suggested--choose iTunes General Preferences, etc.etc. And yes, I did upgrade the old laptop to the newest iTunes version.
Am I just wasting my time here? Is there some reason why an older Mac Pro will not do what the newer one will, with regard to iTunes?
My older laptop is a 2.6 GHz Core Duo; it has 36 GB of "memory available." The newer one a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7. It has 284 GB of memory available.
Both are using the same version of Snow Leopard--10.6.8.

Song title is incorrect in the "NAME" column in itunes, but correct at the top of the page for the song playing.

All of a sudden most of the song titles under the "NAME" column in itunes is incorrect. When I click on the file name it plays a different song but it points to the correct song elsewhere on the list. Also it shows the correct song name at the top of the screen. Is it possible to get the files under the NAME column to point to the right song? This is happening on my PC windows 7.

Move your mouse to the top of the Firefox window, then right click.
You will see a menu of the available toolbars. Select '''''Customize'''''.
In the new window, look for the icon. When you find if, hold down
the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be.
You can move any of the icons you want from here, but some
icons are locked in place.
