ITunes tags are not the same as the actual mp3 tags for some songs

The other day I noticed that some of the names for songs in my iTunes library had changed from the correct names to the file name (which was Artist - Name) but the rest of the tags (album, genre, ect.) for those tracks remained unchanged in iTunes. I went back and checked the details of the messed up songs in windows explorer and noticed that all of the tag information for those songs is now gone. Only one out of 30 or so songs seems to have this problem, and it appears to have happened at random. I will have an entire albums that have no problem, except one random song that will have its tags removed, despite the fact that it was added to the computer and to iTunes in the exact same way as the rest of the tracks in the album.
When I update the title (or any field) in iTunes it updates it in the actual id3 tag, but the other tag info is still missing. So far, the only way I have found to fix all of the missing info would be to change all of the tag information for every single tag for every single messed up song (which is ~800) and then change them back. I tried selecting the file and using get info without changing the tags but it didn't apply them to the actual tags.
Is there any way to sync the tags that show up in iTunes to the actual files tags?

I find the best way to do this is to right click on the song in iTunes and convert then select convert ID3 tags to V1.1 this usually completes the tag and adds all the missing info, provided it is in iTunes corectly.
Were these songs you Dled or ripped form a cd directly?

perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm.

When I connect my nano to my computer I receive the following message: There is a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it.
In addition, when I connect my nano, my computer does recognize but the library and playlists in my Itunes is not the same as the library/playlists on my ipod (on this ipod). If I purchase new songs from itunes, they go to the library on the computer but I cant get them to the ipod playlist.

bump, I have same issue. thanks, MM

You are not the candidate/staffing manager for the specified org unit

Hi all.
With cProjects 4.0 (SP10) we are using the staffing scenario "Resource manager via responsible organization" meaning that the role will be directed to the organizational unit specificed in the "staffing process" tab who then handles the staffing.
Despite the above I get the messages from the Subject header when maintaining the role
You are not a candidate manager for the specified or initial organizational unit
You are not a staffing manager for the specified organizational unit"
As the scenario builds upon the project creating requirements through the role the above messages seem unlogical.
Is there an explanation for why the messages are received?
Best regards / Anders

Hi.
I also assume that is meaning of the message - but is that logical in this staffing scenario?
The project (leader) should create & update the role and then hand it over to the org unit for staffing by changing the status of the role "Start staffing process". The above message should not be received upon setting that status.
It can not be the intention that the project leader should be assigned as a resource manager to all possible org units.
Phrasing it differently, when the status of the role only is "Staffing in preparation" the project leader must be able to update it including setting the staffing status without these messages being received.
When the status of the role is Staffing in process the only thing the project leader ought to be able to do is the reset the status of the role (cancel the staffing request).

Works in Main Application mode but not the orange NXT mode for some NXT's

A simple Labview program designed using only NXT VI's worked in the Main Application but not in NXT mode. For some NXT's it worked in both modes but for others, just in Main Application mode. I've tried updating the firmware and plugging and unplugging the USB. Any thoughts?

I see. The problem is probably that when you are switching to the NXT Target mode, it is expecting to target the other brick to which you already deployed. If you right-click on the orange banner menu in the lower left corner, you should be able to select the other NXT, or use "Find NXT..." to scan/search for bricks.
Also, I reccommend giving all your NXTs unique names so this is more obvious. (you can use the NXT Terminal tool to do that).
If you still can't get the VI to run in target mode, restart labview.

Suddenly my new itouch shows the incorect album artwork for some songs, but only on teh device - the itunes library on ym computer is correct. I did resync but non change. any ideas on how to get it to match again?

Got my new itouch and after some minor issue syncing, i was able to get everything set up. However I just noticed that soem of the album artwork is not matched up to the song that is currently playing. I also sometimes, after syncing, I get a message stating "iTunes unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." Any ideas on hwo to get the artwork realigned to the correct songs?

Try this, it has worked for me.
1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

Wrong tags for some songs?

I have the 160 gig classic... I love the fact that it can hold so much but some songs have the wrong tag to the....for instance ...I choose Blondie one way or another and the song played will be a Johnny cash song.... You get the gist....
When I play that song song in iTunes on my pc it is correct as in the tag corresponds to the song.....
Any help would be appreciated.....

Restoring an iPod removes all the data from it, builds a fresh database on the device, then puts back on the content that your request. If the database on the device becomes corrupt then it may index the wrong file for playback and a restore would be the recommended fix. At the very least you should confirm the problem persists after a restore. If so then some more details are likely to be required to pinpoint what is going on, e.g. is the file that plays the next/previous in the song menu for example? Is the one song always replaced by a specific other one and what are the details of both tracks?
If you've selected an album to play, and have more than one album with the same title, then that is best explained by pointing you to http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
There are some tips in there about not using Sort fields to merge albums. It's quite some time now since I explored that behaviour in detail and I can't recall it actually being responsible for the wrong song being played in the way you originally described which is why I recommeded a restore first. If however, you have tried to use the sort fields in this way then perhaps all you need to do is correct the relevant tags in the ways I recommend in the article and re-sync the device.

Events folders display photo that is not the actual photo file

When I open an event file, the photos displayed are not the actual photos. For instance, in the event "Graduation," I now have random photos of my daugher's dance recital displayed, but when I open them, the photos are indeed of graduation. So, I can't see what photos are in an event until I open each photo file There is no rhyme or reason to what photos randomly pop up on the surface, and it doesn't happen with all the files within an event, just some. Please tell me someone else has had a similar problem as it is making me feel a bit batty!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why does the click-hold to reveal the image area outside the frame work on only some images?

I just upgraded to ID CC 2014 and the click-hold function to reveal the image area outside the frame only works for some images. Any suggestions?
Jim

Thanks, Peter. That could be the problem--operator error. But, I did a restart and all seems fine. If I get another image with a display issue, I'll be back

HT4864 How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email they are not the same

How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email? They are not the same and somehow were switched by my teenage daughter. I can access the account and change anything except my iCloud eMail account.

Hi itsjeffb,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like your daughter may have set up an alias account under iCloud. Your AppleID email address may or may not be the same as you iCloud email address, depending on how it was set up. The following articles provide more information about iCloud email addresses and how aliases work under iCloud:

Removing songs from iTunes, that are not saved on the computer

Hey guys.
First of all i would like to thank you for reading my post and trying to help.
Anyways, i rent an external harddrive from one of my friends, and he had a huge amount of songs, that i would like to get on my computer. Stupid as i am, i started downloading directly from the harddrive, which result in a lot of songs in my iTunes, that are not saved in the computer, and when i remove the external harddrive from my computer, all the songs cannot play. So after that, i saved them on my computer, and tried getting them into iTunes once again. This has resulted in a double of every songs. Which is quite much.. Are there any ways, that i can do a "Clean-up" and remove all the songs that are not saved on my computer or not working or something like that?
I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If your previous library was matched on you your computer, you can retrieve your music from itunes match on your computer.
Sign in to match and add your computer. Your library will now show all the music that is in match. You should be able to download all your music back on to your computer.
