Itunes track problem?

When i download albums, in my computer folder all tracks have correct song titles, artists, albums etc. However once i "add folder to library" all the tracks appear as "Track 1, 2" etc. I really don't have any time to change all song titles etc. It does it for around 50 % of albums i add. So wondering why it only does this for some. And is there a quick fix? I do apologise if this has already been posted. But not sure how to fix it.
Thanks

Open iTunes > Preferences and click on "Advanced" at the top, then on "Importing" just below.
Uncheck the box next to "Create file names with track number" and then on "OK".
This will update iTunes and may take a short time, depending on the size of your library and the capabilities of your computer.

I have music from old cassettes in Itunes - Track problem

My problem is, I have music from old cassettes that I transferred to computer. Put into Itunes without track#s, but say the name of album song 1, album song 2, etc. In the SONGS list it shows all songs in ORDER. then when I click the same in ALBUM setting it shows the music - songs in jumbled order. is there a way to correct this other than going to GET INFO and hand typing a Track # in for EACH and EVERY song?????? I have tons of music transferred ARRRGGGHHH!!!! so basically if I go to SONGS list I'm OK, but if I have album covers up on Ipod, then hit it will play songs in wrong order.

Yes, same thing. But they need to be compatible with apple tv, just because they play in iTunes doesn't mean they will work on ATV. See below

How do I use the Services menu to convert text to an iTunes track?

I'm trying to convert text to an iTunes track using the Services option on the Firefox drop down menu, but having trouble with it. I have set my preferences to turn on that option, but all that happens is I get a spinning wheel at the top of my screen, and it doesn't record. I can't see anything in the iTunes settings that I need to change, but wondering if that could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Then you may be much better off posting your question in the ExportPDF forum,

ITunes Encountering Problems When Importing CDs

Since I allowed an iTunes update about a month ago (?), I've been having problems importing certain (apparently random) CDs. I import a lot of books on CD, and many times "iTunes encounters a problem and has to shut down." Not always. For example, the book I'm trying to import this afternoon worked fine on the first disc, but not at all on the second. I got the shutdown message after only a few seconds. I always join the tracks before importing.
Earlier today, I was having trouble with a number of discs, but it would occur when the import was much further along. I thought I'd figured out a workaround -- instead of joining all the tracks on the CD, I joined them into two sets, each half the size of the full CD. Then imported them one at a time. Worked like a charm for about 5 discs. Then I started importing a new book, thought I'd get brave and try to import a whole CD. Worked like a charm on CD #1. Then I got to #2, and not only did it only work for a few seconds before shutting down iTunes when they were all joined together, when I tried my workaround, that didn't work either.
I'm running iTunes 6.0.1.3, with CD Driver 2.0.4.3 and CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2.

Well, thanks for all the help, folks.
After playing around with every permutation I could think of under preferences\advanced\importing, in desparation (because the problem kept getting worse - to the point that I couldn't import any joined tracks at all) I allowed a version update to 6.0.4.2.
No more problem.

ITunes Track CPR doesnt seem to be working

I have been trying to use the track cpr script to find some "lost" songs that arent really lost... the script doesnt seem to be doing much of anything when I run it.... this is on 10.6.4 with itunes 9.2.1
Results:
iTunes Track CPR
Total tracks: 18
Total MIAs: 8
Recovered: 0
Still MIA: 0
I know the files are are in the proper itunes style folder structure... im stumped why this isnt working. maybe my itunes version is too new??

have you tried toggling the hold switch...if that doesn't work, restor ipod nano (plug in nano, got to ipod updater, click restore [i may have the first otwo steps switched, so if is doesn't work, try with step 2 first])...if that doesn't work either, go to an apple store (if there is one near you)to get it replaced...if you don't live near one, send it in to apple (since so many people have problems that apple doesn't identify when they send it in, put a small note in the package

Sorry I gave this a 'this helped me' but after a long struggle I found some ticked box somewhere from some unauthorised chrome extension blaaa....... the link you gave was great, not only did it confirm all the bad things google is supposed to be up to it provided a better browser. Cheers man.
Anyone who find this; I disabled all extension in chrome. I then searched the word proxy in the settings section. A button came up, "change proxy settings" I clicked on it. Earlier it was greyed out as an extension was interefering.. It brought up a box with my own settings from my computer. Then I clicked LAN settings, then unchecked the 'Use a proxy server' button.
P.S. If you're using chrome, bail, and dowload Komodo Dragon. It's virtually identical, but you're not tracked, and you can use chrome extensions, and you can quickily transfer your chrome preferences into it.

Can't download music - seems to be an iTunes Match problem

I have iTunes Match activated, which is working fine on my iPad and iPhone. However I cannot download purchased music onto the iMac.
In my household there is a shared iMac and each user has a different login & password. Only I know my login password. I have been using iTunes successfully on it for years, and have been using iTunes successfully for about 6 months now. Auto-download has been disabled for several months now because I don't want everything downloaded automatically. All has been fine until about a fortnight ago when the iMac stopped downloading newly purchased music whenever I clicked the little iCloud icon. This is for music that I have successfully purchased and downloaded on my iPhone whilst at work, and now want to listen to at home. Whenever I click the iCloud icon to download the new song I get an error message telling me that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID, and I have to wait 54 days etc to sign in with a new Apple ID. However I'm certain no other Apple ID has been used with my account - when I go to the Store menu it is showing my current and correct Apple ID.
The most telling proof that my Apple ID is correct on both iMac and iPhone (and iPad as well) is that when I plug the iPhone into the iMac, the new music syncs across EXACTLY as it should - and it can then be played without problems. Both the phone and the computer are correctly logged in to the same Apple ID, which is the same Apple ID that I use for iTunes Match. Also when I click Store -> Update iTunes Match there appears to be no Apple ID conflict.
Obviously this is an iTunes Match problem which I cannot resolve, can someone please provide assistance / advice.
(iPhone 4 with iOS 6, iMac mid 2010 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, single Apple ID for iTunes Store, iTunes Match and iCloud).

Need Help...Do I have The mother of all itunes software problems???

I am in desperate need of help. I have fried three new ipod touches in two days. I Purchased a new 32GB 2d Gen ipod touch on Mon. 11/24. Worked okay till Friday 11/28. When I tried to sync with new additions, a warning came up “the ipod could not be updated, an unknown error occurred (9)” That was followed by a windows vista windows warning “USB device not recognized”
When I disconnected the touch I found that it could not be started. Tried a forced restore pressing the sleep switch and the home button together. That did not work.
Brought the touch to my apple store genius bar on Saturday and they too couldn’t get it to work. They switched out the ipod with a new one. Brought the new one home connected it and it received the new ipod touch software download okay. But when it tried to sync the same problem repeated…the two pop up warnings as before and a second dead ipod!
I then synced my ipod classic with no problems, so it appears the itunes software is okay. I’ve scheduled another appointment with the local apple store genius bar again.
When I took the new fried touch back to the Apple genius bar, it was switched out again. It was activated (by the initial step ipod touch software download on their computer.
I brought my laptop with me so we could test the syncing. The syncing proceeded initially for several minutes, and then the dreaded pop up warnings appeared
“the ipod could not be updated, an unknown error occurred (9)” That was followed by a windows vista warning “USB device not recognized”
The new replacement ipod touch was also fried.
The tech gave me yet another new ipod touch. He had never encountered such a problem and advised me delete and reinstall itunes and call the APL CARE 800 support number and go over the problem with one of their techs who have a broad range of experience in dealing with possible PC related issues.
As my other ipod has no problem syncing from the same laptop (Dell Inspiron 1520 using Vista) I am wondering if the problem might be a corrupted Itunes software problem that affects only the touch and not the ipod classics.
Has anyone heard of a bad itunes software related problem? I googled this and could find no info. Thanks for your help!

If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
Store > Authorise this computer...
This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required.

A solution for iTunes install problems

I upgraded to the latest ver of iTunes and immediately had ALL the problems posted all over the 'net.
The following is what worked for me.
BACKUP!!! Set a Restore Point. Back up your REGISTRY. It is critical that you back it up beforehand and use caution while cleaning it. Please do this in case everything goes T. U.
Remove all references to iTunes, iPod and Quick Time. There are literally thousands and you must get rid of all of them.
Find, download, install a copy of jv16 Power Tools.
Then:
1. BACKUP! Set Restore Point! Back up your Registry! Did I mention backing up?
1a. Be very careful cleaning out the Registry. Take your time. Go slowly. Make sure that what you delete is only iTunes-related. Check twice before deleting. Take. Your. Time.
1b. The Registry is your PCs mind; do not scramble it. You will be sad.
2. Using jv16s Software Manager, uninstall iTunes, iPod and Quick Time.
3. Using jv16s Registry Finder, one at a time, search for and delete ALL references to iPod, iTunes, Quick Time and Apple Computer (BE CAREFUL; it will give you references to various 'applets" and "appletalk"; do NOT delete those. Only Apple Computer stuff.)
4. Using Microsofts Search function, search for all remaining references to iTunes, iPod, Apple Computer (leave applets alone) and most importantly-Quick Time.
5. When you are certain that everything that says Apple Computer, Apple, iPod, iTunes and Quick Time exists no more on your PC, Reboot.
6. Go to www.old-software.com and download an old copy of iTunes. The one that finally worked for me was iTunes v 6.0.5
7. Install an old version of iTunes. DO NOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF iTUNES! Thats what caused the problems in the first place.
8. Reboot.
Even though you previously "uninstalled" iTunes, probably using the Add Remove Programs application in Control Panel, there remains behind thousands of pieces, parts and references to iTunes and Quick Time, in the Registry, TEMP files, Documents and Settings (Application Data and Local Settings), in Windows/system32 and a hundred other places. You gotta get rid of it all.
Quick Time seems to be the main culprit, but in the end I had to get rid of all traces of all of the Apple applications before I could install again and get it to work.
It took me 3 days to figure out this procedure but once I did, it took only an hour to do it.
I've seen a couple other procedures recently posted here that look good. If you are uncomfortable with going into the Registry, try one of those others first.
And fer cryin' out loud, Apple. Yank the latest version of iTunes off your site. I did a Google search for "iTunes installation problems" and came up with 700,000 hits. Do ya think you might have a problem?
Windows XP Try testing your upgrades before releasing them!

Im trying your method right now, when im finished ill let you know how it worked out. I agree with your comment on apple needing to pull the latest version and get a version that actually works.

I downloaded Itunes and keep getting a runtime error R6034 and was told to contact Itunes about problem/

First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:

Exporting iTunes tracks as MP3

This is a similar query to that in thread 1015795, and is very simple:
Can I copy a track I've bought from the iTunes store to MP3 format?
Why do I want to do this? Because I've got a MP3 player I want to play it on, and I will not spend 3 figures on an iPod because I don't fancy being mugged either by Apple or some jerk on the street who sees me using it. I'm using iTunes for Windows at the mo, and it won't allow me to convert any iTunes tracks to MP3.
If the answer to the question is yes, then I'd be grateful if someone could let me know, and copy the message to [email protected] If the answer is no, then I'll never buy another iTunes track. TIA.
Fred
PS: I've always liked Macs as technically-superior and user-friendly machines and currently have a Macbook, but I've always hated Apple's proprietary instincts, and I've a feeling that this whole iTunes thing is a way to force punters into buying iPods, which in truth are little more than fancy flash drives with DACs and a mini-jack and certainly not worth £150 ;-\

Ok, thanks for that reply - I'd not realised that the DRM was so inflexible. Luckily I've only bought a few iTunes tracks and I suppose I can burn them to CD to listen to on my fixed kit at home and work, but it's a pain not being able to put them onto a portable MP3 player. I'll make sure not to buy any more tracks in the future - I prefer CDs anyway.
When it comes to record companies, DRM, and copying, the phrase "******* in the wind" always comes to mind...
Cheers
Fred
