ITunes substitutes names of artists for certain letter combinations

iTunes has gotten odd--when I type in the names of artists manually, certain keystrokes give weird results which I then can't edit.  I have to delete the entire name and use tricks (like inserting a space and later removing it) to get the names right.
For example, typing "Lo" results in "Lô Borges."  "Ca" results in "Çà›êîâ Â."  There are a few others, too.
What could be causing this?  What can I do to fix it?  It's quite irritating.
I am using iTunes 10.5.3.

    How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect.  Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it.  Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes. 
    Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

  • My previously saved login names and passwords for certain websites seem to have disappeared and don't pre-fill with the new Firefox...is there a fix or something I'm doing wrong?

    After upgrading and beginning log in to sites I've previously saved login names/passwords for...the fields no longer pre-fill.

  • ITunes shuts down when searching for certain songs in library

    One example is every time I type "time of o" it stops me before finishing "ur lives" and will freeze or detect a problem and I have to shut it down and restart the program.

    now my ipod does work on my other comptuter without any problems.
    5. Version of iTunes before you upgraded to 6.0.2
    VERSION 5.014 --
    6. Version of Fairplay on the songs you've purchased. (If you look at the general tab in the Get Info dialog, it tells you version of Fairplay.)
    2
    7. Automatic vs. manual sync. For songs / podcasts / video, which in 6.0.2 all have separate manual vs. automatic settings.
    i only use this for music, so i have no way of knowing how these are set up.
    8. Is there some sort of weird mis-identification of the iPod in previous versions of iTunes, like the Video sub-tab missing in the iPod preferences tab of iTunes preferences for Video iPods?
    i have no idea what you are talking about.
    9. Version of the iPodService you have running? (Go to C:\Program Files\iPod\bin, find the iPodService.exe file, right click, select Properties and you should be able to get a version number.)
    6.0.2.23
    10. Number of store accounts you have authorized on that machine?
    1
    11. Is the iPod Updater running in the background when you try to mount the iPod and iTunes crashes?
    no
    12. Has either of you tried connected one of these iPods to a Mac to see if it crashes on iTunes for Mac? Or does that heal the problem and then you can subsequently plug it into their Windows machine without problem. (This would tell me if it's a Windows only bug or if it's in both versions of iTunes.) The Genuis bar at an Apple retail store could help with this step. But I realize that this is the step with the highest level of inconvenience.
    dont have a mac to connect to but it does connect just fine to my old computer which is using itunes 5 and ipod 5.0.1.4

  • Multiple occurence of IDOC node for certain input combination in mapping

    Hi All,
    My scenario is as below:
    Input sturucture:
    FieldA
    FieldB
    FieldC
    FieldD
    FieldX
    FieldY
    FieldZ
    Output structure is IDOC WPUWBW01.
    Now field A,B,C and D forms key of my source record. So as far as key remains same i have to post all items in one idoc. I am able to achieve this with combination of split by value Fn and collapse context Fn.
    Now in addition to above if my Field B = "1200" and Field Y = "1" it should generate IDOC node twice ...
    and if Field B = "1200" and Field Y = "6" it should generate IDOC node once.
    Any idea how this can be achieved.
    Regards,
    Siddhesh S.Tawate
    PS: Also let me know how to use the container and queue in UDF's

    Now in addition to above if my Field B = "1200" and Field Y = "1" it should generate IDOC node twice ...
    and if Field B = "1200" and Field Y = "6" it should generate IDOC node once.
    duplicate the IDOC node twice so that you have three IDOC nodes in all.
    For two IDOC nodes apply the condition
    Field B = 1200
                        ------And ----ifWithoutElse     --------------------TargetIDOCNode
    Field Y = 1                     Then(Blank Constant)
    For the remaining IDOC node apply the condition:
    Field B = 1200
                        ------And ----ifWithoutElse     --------------------TargetIDOCNode
    Field Y = 6                     Then(Blank Constant)
    You can also try using createIf function....

  • Certain letter combinations [ff tt fi ti, perhaps others] do not print to any printer or to an *.xps

    This is unnerving.  The document is fine on the screen and works with other *.pdf readers that print.  The work-around [print to image] does the trick but only if I'm smart enough to remember to use it, and to tell consumers of my output to do so as well.
    This was every printer I checked and the *.xps driver as well.  Bad news.

    The above PDF will look fine on the screen, but when printed to any available printer, including Microsoft's XPS printer, the noted character combinations do not print.
    FULL DISCLOSURE... In preparing these samples I noted I cannot currently reproduce this phenomenon. If I simply open any of the previously 'bad' base documents in Word and do nothing but re-create PDFs, those new PDFs DO NOT have this problem of printing from Acrobat.  I have done both Windows and Office updates since I created the discrepant PDF files.
    This tells me that there likely was something going on in the Word conversion to PDF that gave the Acrobat print engine (but not viewer) fits.  Peculiar other readers were OK, but irrelevant; maybe Adobe 8 was OK, too...
    Given the number of different ways to solve the problem ['print image' in Acrobat settings; use other readers, forget about paper], I am less concerned.  I will, as a background task, try to bound when the issue started for me and more precisely when it stopped [looks like every PDF I created between Feb 13 and Mar 14 was messed up; only a few government contracts and letters need to be re-done]

  • Do you need to have the same OS as the version of itunes that you're downloading for it to work

    I'm recieving an error everytime i try to open my recently downloaded version of iTunes. Not sure if i need the most recent OS in order to open the newer iTunes

    No, there's some overlap with the OS versions you can use with different versions of iTunes, but one thing is for certain, you can't use iTunes10 with OSX 10.4.11  You need  Leopard at a minimum.  The highest you can go with Tiger is 9.2.1 but if you need support for a brand new i-gadget then you need the iTunes specified on the box (at least) and that's likely to be version 10.

  • I get an error that says can't connect to the itunes store when I search for a specific artist only

    Hi all,
    When I try to search for music by a specific artist in the iTunes store on my iPhone 5, I get an error that says "Can't connect to the iTunes store".  This only happens when I search for music by this band.  I can search for other artists and listen to song clips and everything seems to be connecting to the iTunes store just fine.  But for some reason, it doesn't work with this artist.  The band name is July for Kings.  Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I hope so!
    Thanks,
    Rick

    IF you are not able to resolve your issue then contact Apple Support at https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?caller=ikb&PRKEYS=PL220,1316 29,PL113,PL302,PF3,PF4,PF9,PL303,PL339,p…
    hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device.

  • HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

    HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

    If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click  and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
    In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

  • When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
    How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database.  Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer.  If you have one that matches that it will label it.  You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
    This script will only work on Macs:

  • ITunes substituted older versions for my Playlist.

    I drug 23 audio files from outside iTunes into a new iTunes playlist. However, iTunes immediately loaded older versions of those audio files (that had the same file name) from my iTunes library instead-and without any warning. What's with that? This is a serious matter. I was making practice play-along audio CDs for members of my band to use, and iTunes substituted older versions of the tunes--that had the same file name--from my iTunes library into my new playlist so the CD I burned from that playlist then had outdated versions of our tunes on it. This is not good. How do I keep iTunes from doing that?

    I USED to be able to get a playlist or two, I had gotten 5 GB of music back on it by putting 1-2 playlists on, ejecting, plugging back in, rinse, repeat. Now iTunes locked up AGAIN, checked the iPod, NO MUSIC. Really glad I bought this ******* piece of **** two years ago! Totally worth my money!
    Now, on top of all this, I find this in the help section.
    Symptoms
    You may notice the following symptoms on your Windows PC after installing the iCloud Control Panel, iTunes 10.5 or later, or Safari 5.1 or later:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    iTunes is slow to respond.
    Windows is slow to respond.
    iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Oh, so you mean that since you guys released 10.5, (and its now up to 10.6.??) people have had this issue of their iTunes not responding? What the ****. So basically since 10.5 people have had their iTunes not working correctly? Fix this crap.
    I already did the LSP check thing, only one besides the apple one are two windows ones that are up to date and should be there. There is no other help to be had. What a joke.

  • Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".

    Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".
    When I connect my iPhone or iPad I can see every items on them but not on the iTunes Library.
    They sync fine with iTunes.
    I browse all the menus in iTunes but cannot find any clues to what I have done for it to happen. It worked fine previously.
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.
