ITunes wipes away track numbers :-S

Hi,
I had recently organized all my music with iTunes, and using info tab via Get Info i had added track numbers basically Cold Play - Clocks track number 5 of 11
Now when i play certain songs, the total number of tracks is wiped away (for example the Cold Play i used above, just displays Track 5 and the 11 is wiped away)
This is VERY upsetting since i went through a VERY long process organizing all my songs! I would appreciate any help, thanks!
P.s. I have iTunes 7.5

Look at the file in Windows Explorer.
Right-cilck > Get properties
Sounds like it is set to read-only.

  • Albums on itunes but just track numbers...?

    Got my ipod and itunes working together but of the 20 odd albums in itunes, only 10 show the track name, artist an album.
    The rest are just listed track 01 track 02 etc but all of the track 01 are lumped together as are tracks 02, 03..... you get the picture - how do i go about organising and if i really have to, importing artist and album data?
    Paul

    Did you import these albums from commercial CDs or CD-Rs? If they are ones you made yourself the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand. 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: iTunes for Windows - I don't see the names of songs

  • ITunes screws up track numbering from Purchased items

    Found a solution. Post edited. 

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • ITunes (XP) no longer numbers tracks in the format, for example, 1 of 9"

    When I would purchase an album on iTunes in the past, the songs downloaded with track numbers "1 of 9, 2 of 9, 3 of 9....9 of 9" Suddenly this has stopped. The tracks simply download as "1" "2" ..."9" I see no option to fix this. I prefer itunes to number the tracks 1 of 9, etc. How can I cause that to happen other than to number the tracks manually? THanks, Bonzo

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Can't remove track numbers from Music app even though they're deleted in iTunes

    So I've been having an incredibly annoying issue for a while now, and I can't seem to figure it out or why it happens. I have a large amount of singles and misc. songs in iTunes and I decided to file them under one single Artist and Album, both called iTunes. I then have the track name, artist name, and album name all listed in the track name slot. I have removed all sort by info, album artist info, track numbers, disc numbers, and unchecked the Compilation option on every single of these tracks. In iTunes, the songs are listed under the proper artist and album, and the songs are all alphabetical from A to Z.
    Here's where the the problem comes in. When I select the entire list of songs and send them to my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4, they sync fine. However, upon browsing the songs, the first half (about 100 songs) are listed as being track 1. The next 20 or so tracks are listed as track 2. The next 20 or so tracks are listed as track 3. This continues until the bottom of the list, where the last 8 songs are listed as 13, 13, 15, 16, 16, 18, 19, 22. Within each set of shared track numbers (for example, track 1, so 100 songs), the tracks are listed alphabetically. Then when I hit the set of songs listed as track 2, the alphabetizing resets again, and so on and so forth. I can't figure out why this is, other than that some sort of data is still contained within the song files that the Music app picks up and interprets. I shouldn't have to manually assign each of the 212 tracks its own listing, such as 1/212, 2/212, etc. because that would take forever and I'd need to re-edit half the tracks when I added new music to the iTunes album. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?; because I'm totally bamboozled as to where these faux track numbers are coming from.

    Ok, I "sorta" figured it out. I was having trouble even sorting the songs into separate albums like iTunes A B C, iTunes D E F, etc. because Music still placed random track numbers onto the songs. So, I went back to my original plan which was to have one album and artist called iTunes, and I forced all tracks to be track 1 of 1, and disc 1 of 1. That seems to have fixed the issue and forced Music to put them in alphabetical order. I'm still unsure as to why Music won't just alphabetize the tracks as they are in iTunes.

  • Having some major issues with track numbers in the newest iTunes

    I just recently went out and bought some new albums today for my birthday which was over the weekend and I ripped them to my computer, but when I go to put them into iTunes their track numbers are wrong. So as normal I went to change them, but found that when I click in the track number box I cannot input any numbers what so ever. I went and checked to see if the file was a read only file and it wasn't and I don't have any restrictions on this laptop so I'm not sure of what to do. Before I updated to 10.6.1 I was able to change anything and everything in the get info tab now I can only change the track name, album name, and artist. Any ideas?

    If you can click in the track number box, but get no numbers to appear, then I'd suspect you've got shift lock or num lock in the wrong position. If the box is greyed out, or you can enter new details but they are not saved, then I'd be looking for a permissions issue.

  • Itunes assigns track numbers automatically

    iTunes 11 - When I play a track, sometimes iTunes will automatically assign a track number to it, but not always. So what happens is it winds up putting an entire albumn out of order. In other ones, it will assign track #1 to track 1, then track 4 to track 4 and so on. So the ones it doesn't assign a track number wind up displaying on that particular album before the ones that were given a track number. It's doing this pretty randomly and causing a lot of grief.
    I realize I can right click on the tracks without an assinged track number and assign the right number, but that's a pain for thousands of songs. I tried removing the Track# column, but that doesn't help. I still prefer to listen to listen to albums in their entirety and like to put them on my iPod, etc. that way.
    Can't itunes just sort by artist name, then album, then the correct order of the album? This never happened on a previous version. Why did they do this?

    The track numbers are all fine, the album and artist are exactly the same for all of them.
    If you dont understand my problem, just check this image:
    http://cncvision.org/itunesproblem.PNG
    the tracks arent going in the right order. IDK why it wont work. I bought the album on itunes, then bought the song "not now" cause itunes didnt include it on the album, and bought "stockholm syndrome" cause itunes didnt include it on the album. Both songs are on the normal cd. I tried to put those two songs onto the album in the order they would be if I bought the cd and ripped it, but itunes wont place them in that order.

  • ITunes keep deleting my track numbers

    For some reason several of my albums are losing there track numbers along with other id3 info. Why?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Itunes script to detect gaps in track numbers within an album

    Is there an iTunes script out there that will detect gaps in the track numbers within an Artist & Album?    This would be useful to detect incorrectly numbered tracks that could reveal an error in the whole file's tagging that occurred for whatever reason.   I'm picturing a process that would sort your library by Artist+Album+Tracknumber, then look for any numbering gaps and if found, display the 2 files with the gap in-between into a playlist for the user to evaluate for problems.   Or perhaps this is not possible?

    Looks like this does most of what you want in that it identifies incomplete albums. You'd still have to see which tracks were missing: http://www.enilnomi.net/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/dltext/findincompletealbums.dl
    I'm assuming from the product info you're looking for an AppleScript for iTunes for OS X. If you want one for Windows I could probably oblige.

  • ITunes dropping the 'of' part of track numbers

    I have been experiencing this issue with iTunes since day dot.
    I always format my track numbers so they are displayed as track number 'XX of XX' when adding albums to help keep track of the number of tracks contained within each album.
    However occasionally, iTunes will completely drop the 'of XX' part of the track number causing me to have to fill it in again. What causes this and how do I avoid it?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • ITunes Sorting Issue - By numbers? (not "track numbers")

    How can I get iTunes to sort using the defaulted numbers in List View. The header cannot be clicked in List View, but can in Grid View. Is there any way it can be clicked or tricked into sorting using them? It's very handy. Thanks.

    If you click on any column header, it will sort the entire library in numerical or alphabetical order based on the listing of whatever column header has been clicked on.
    So if you click on "Name", you will get:
    2 Minutes To Midnight - Iron Maiden - 9 of 16
    8 Mile Road - Grant Lee Buffalo - 9 of 14
    A Bad Night - Cat Stevens - 19 of 19
    Badlands - Bruce Springsteen - 1 of 10
    Classico - Tenacious D - 2 of 15
    etc.
    If you click on "Artist" then the exact same Library will be re-ordered as:
    Badlands - Bruce Springsteen - 1 of 10
    A Bad Night - Cat Stevens - 19 of 19
    8 Mile Road - Grant Lee Buffalo - 9 of 14
    2 Minutes To Midnight - Iron Maiden - 9 of 16
    Classico - Tenacious D - 2 of 15
    etc.
    By default, iTunes should be recognising the "Artist" column as the main sorting definer, with album track numbers being the secondary sorting consideration within artists.
    If for some reason your sorting order has fallen foul of this, then to get it back on track, firstclick on the "Track #" header, to sort your songs by track number: 1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc. and then click on "Artist".
    This should get it back to how you want it.
    If this [still] isn't working for you, then you need to perhaps check that your songs are tagged correctly. Make sure that all tracks from the same album all have the track numbers filled in, in both the first and second fields in the "Track Number" spaces, ie: X of X.

    - it's all said in the title. I can't understand why the developers turn things bad ... risking loosing Apples valuable customers.
    More examples needed? (check out the communities and the reviews)
    - OSX: Maverick to Yosemite = not recommended (check it out > http://roaringapps.com/apps)
    - iPad: older versions as iPad2 should not upgrade to iOS7/8 (it's not supporting its hardware accordingly, it's designed for the latest hardware)
    - iTunes (it's possible to rollback to 10.7 - 11.4, but you need to breech OSX system security framework)
    - Pages (was a real alternative for many of us, each update reduced features and created incompatibility to older work files)

  • How can I remove track numbers that have appeared in front of all of my song titles, since the new iTunes update of 12?

    Windows OS 7 
    iTunes 12
    Ever since the new update with iTunes 12, all of my song titles have a track number before them.
    Is there any easy way to remove this without having to go through my entire library?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    OK, that was the wrong approach. What should have worked would have been the process described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. No doubt your songs not only start with two leading digits, but have also lost the information regarding artist, album and their actual track numbers.
    Make a strong cup of coffee/tea/your favourite beverage and review this thread: Any software that can rebuild iTunes songs lost to Unknown Artist/ Unknown Album. It should be possible to restore a pre-upgrade version of your library, the reconnect it to the files (assuming they have been moved). Please feel free to ask questions.
