ITunes tagging having problems

I'm having a problem with ITunes tagging. Lately I've been tagging almost everything I hear, and have found a couple of albums that the song I have tagged isn't the one I want. Then the title track of the album comes on a little later and I tag it, but it doesn't pick up the album. Why not? Also, it would be nice to be able to hit the applications key from the tagged list and view the album right there instead of having to search for it.

hi Kelsy!
i haven't been able to open my itunes for like 5 days now and i tried to restore my whole computer to a later date that didn't even work.
ouch. did you system restore over top of the itunes install? are you now getting a "some of the required files ..." message when you try to open itunes?
at this stage, it would be advisable to try completely uninstalling your existing itunes and QT and then start again from a clean slate. let's try the following procedure:

  • ITunes / iPod having problems with lyrics in MP3 files and not with M4A ?

    Over the last two month (without this forum) I believed sometimes to be the only one having a weird problems with iTunes lyric format structure.
    Now after more than 50h of investigations interesting results appear.
    The field of trouble:
    a) People are not able to delete lyrics in iTunes
    b) People discover that iTunes and their iPod/iPhone do not show the same lyrics
    c) it seems that the lyrics of certain songs can't synchronised with the iPod
    d) it seems that the problem in iTunes can appear more than one times that itunes corrupts the contents of lyrics in a way that:
    e) the text structure is damaged, no more line breaks, no empty lines between text sections.
    After all my suspicion is: All of this trouble can be caused by one problem:
    iTunes (at least latest version 9.0.3 (15) has a -unkonwn- problem with the lyric-text structure in MP3-files. It seems that iTunes does not have the same problems if the file is in M4A-file format, created by apple-store files being downloaded, or CDs being converten in iTunes using the build in AAC-converter!
    Converting "infected" files (via AAC) to M4A are clean again (on iTunes and iPod) showing no more one of the trouble ahead. The ghost is eliminated. Everything synchronizes as it should be.
    And I for myself have to convert more than 3000 songs now... to ged rid of this nightmare.
    Now I'm very curious of You experiences. Can You confirm my suspicion? Or have You had similar problems with Your M4A-files too?
    - Best Regards ThomasK_DJ, south Germany

    Try this -> http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/ to verify and fix MP3 files.
    Also, it could be the version of the ID3 tags.
    Select a song in iTunes then go to iTunes menu Advanced -> Convert ID3 tags and select a different version and see what happens.

  • First time for iTunes Match-having problems

    I have iTunes on a PC and have an iPad.  I subscribed to iCloud.  It gets thorugh the match process and then tries to upload a small quantity of unmatched files, some of which are lecture tapes, and iTunes stops working ont he first one, which happenst to be a lecture.  Anyone have experience?
    Also, some of my purchased songs did not seem to upload in the cloud, and the song appears in the liabray as still protected (no cloud icon next to it).
    I can't figure out why a particuilar song won't load with the others.  I purchased iLift specifically for this one song, and it turns out this is one having the problem, and the app won't work because its still protected.  Can anyone help?

    First you need to enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser.
    Switch to Song view, then pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status." Now you can close the small window. Find the protected tracks and see what the status is. Incidentally, nothing in your library will be magically upgraded to a DRM-free 256 Kbps AAC files. If the status of the tracks in question is "matched" then you must delete the original from the iTunes library then download the track from the cloud. If the status is "uploaded" the track in the cloud will be the same as what is already in your library.
    For the tracks that don't seem to be getting processed, see what the status for them is and post back here and let us know.

  • New version of Itunes is having problems with crossfading songs, it doesn´t work.  How do I fix that?

    I installed the new version of Itunes (10.5.2.11) and I have a party playlist in wich I need the songs to crossfade for the music to continue playing non-stop.  The problem is that even when the crossfade option is activated, it doesn´t crossfade songs.  And when it does, the last song played, keeds playing in backgroung from star, so you hear 2 songs at the same time.
    Also, I uninstalled the current version an installed an older version, but it won´t let me open the program, becouse "the iTunes Library was created in a newer vewrsion"
    HELP PLEASE!!!!
    Diego

    It seems that this is a MAJOR issue with MANY end users experiencing the exact same problem - iTunes 10.5.2.11 Crossfade is completely buggy.  Apple, get it together, seriously...your QA department should all be fired for this.
    Diego, there are numerous threads replicating your problem.
    So far, there are a few work arounds:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3408812?start=0&tstart=0
    One thing to keep in mind, at least what has worked for me: After you make a change to the crossfade timing, you must close out of iTunes and re-open before the new settings take place.
    Crossfade timing = 12 seconds actually equates to about 50 seconds.
    Click the slider, then use your arrow key to tick over about 20 times - this should crossfade your songs approximately 6 seconds before ending.
    Apply, then close out and re-open iTunes...
    Peruse through the link above, there are different approaches.  Maybe one will work for you.

  • ITUnes plus- having problems connecting

    a message appears that "itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again." Ive been trying for the past few days w/ no luck. I'm beggining to think its a computer issue. Internet connection fine/im able to purchase songs/...i just cant upgrade my existing songs because i want to release the aac protected files- can anyone help?

    Well, add me to the list. I was about to create a new post when I found this thread. Cannot access the iTunes Plus upgrades section on the store. Tried a Windows PC, tried a Mac, both with iTunes 9 installed, and both with the same problem. "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." And I've been trying for about a week now. Sent an email in to Apple Support directly, don't know if that will do any good. I wonder if going to an Apple Store Genius Bar could prove beneficial or not in a case like this?

  • Purchase of email gift certificate in the iTunes store - having problems?

    I tried for 15 min. to figure out how to buy an email gift certificate from the iTunes store via my Mac. I read the HELP instructions and they did not corespond with what was on my screen (and Apple presented no pictures to illustrate and use to match). Problem was this - beware - especially with the holiday shopping coming... you might end up frustrated by this too:
    If your iTunes home page is displaying via their "Just for You" personalized feature, it won't display the buy a gift certificate, etc. commands. So - turn off that "Just for You" stuff. The screen will refresh and present you with access to those purchase commands. Funky funky... both the instructions and the interface.
    Lastly, right now the purchasing engine ain't working at all. I tried to make a purchase there and the display just kept saying that there's a problem at their server level or something like that and to try again later.
    Like I said, funky...

    I have PayPal set up for purchases. I ordered the egift for email delivery to my self and keep getting the message that the purchase did not go through, contact support. I contacted them and they told me they had fixed the problem so I tried many times again and got same message. I do nto understand why there is always some problem with Itunes. Seldom is it a smooth process. This is the only account I have with constant problems.

  • ITunes equalizer having problems, any ideas?

    Just recently, I launched iTunes and opened the EQ window. Instead of being greeted with the normal frequency bars, I saw the top part only (on/off and preset). The preset was already set to manual, and I switched to several others trying to get the bottom screen. I have not changed any preferences or updated recently. I looked through the prefs and found nothing applicable. I then relaunched iTunes. Still nothing.
    …any ideas?

    Click the green or the yellow button (not sure which) at the top left of the EQ.

  • Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error

    Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error. How can I get the podcast on iTunes?

    You didn't need to get it removed: you can make any changes to a feed that you want, changing, adding or deleting episodes, and iTunes will pick them up.
    However, in the present situation you have fallen over a bug in the submissions process. The workaround is changing the title; as this hasn't worked you need to change the feed URL if possible, and also you could change the contents of the 'link' tag.
    If you can't get it sorted you could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to reinstate you (give them all the details) - their responses are a bit variable, but they may help you.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

    HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

    BOB we need you urgently
    Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
    You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
    All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
    Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
    Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
    All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
    Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
    I want to test 2 other things:
    1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
    2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

  • Between our family,the 5 of us we have 11 devices: 5 ipods, 1 ipad,3 itouches and 1 iphone but only 1 itunes acct. Having problems when we log in-anyway around setting up individual accts for each person?

    Within our family, the 5 of us we have 11 devices: 5 ipods, 1 ipad, 3 itouches, and 1 iphone4 {+ a mac laptop} but only 1 itunes account. We are having problems logging into itunes. Friends have said our problem is either: you can only have 5 devices on 1 account or you have home sharing maxed out {we have the itunes loaded on 4 computers + my computer at work}. ... not sure how we can resolve this. Do I have to set each person up with an itunes account? Seems werid my kids under 12 having their own account. please advise.. with the populairty of apple devices, I would think others have this same problem???

    jbrooker, I am having a similar issue to roaminggnome, we have 4 windows laptops, 2 iPhones, 5 ipods.
    I have the iTunes account and the music Library on my laptop and this is used to sync to my iPhone and 4 iPods = 5 devices.
    I have managed to share my library with my wifes laptop and she can access it when my PC is not on, she is also able to sync her iPhone to her laptop. She has her own iTunes account.
    My son has an iPod and laptop but no iTunes account, his iPod is synced to my laptop and my iTunes account. But his laptop cannot download my iTunes Library he is getting a message saying that my iTunes account is synced to the maximum of 5 devices. Thus he can only see the library when my laptop is at home (and I take my Laptop to work etc).
    Would this problem go away if my son has an iTunes account? He's only 11yo so I'm reluctant to set him up with one just yet.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

  • Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

    hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
    much respect,
    tommy bravo

    After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...
