Lyrics look fine on iTunes, but funny on iPod. Please help

So I've been taking the time to put lyrics to my songs in iTunes. It's fulfilling, but tedious all at the same time. Anyway, I'm having an issue with the way the lyrics appear on the iPod (its a 5G Video, by the way). Here's an example. In iTunes, the lyrics appear like this:
"Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?"
However, on the iPod itself, the lyrics appear continuously like so:
"Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don't understand Fools like me, who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep, for their beliefs Do you kill on God's command?"
I am somewhat OCD, and this issue is absolutely driving me crazy. I've searched Google and these forums (they're a bit difficult to navigate) and I've found nothing on this specific topic. Sorry if I've missed it. But if anyone has any answers, can you please send them my way.
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Phil, thanks for the input. I originally used a lyrics importer program to get the lyrics, so I'm not sure the exactly how it decided to format the imported lyrics. As you mentioned, I went to manually edit the lyrics of the songs. I went to the end of each verse, hit delete twice to get rid of one empty space and then pull the next verse up, and then hit return immediately afterwards to put the next verse back where it should normally go. After I synced the iPod, it came up normally as it should.
Thanks so much for the advice. This has been driving me nuts for a while now. It seems I have some work to do . Happy Holidays.
Take care,
Chris

    Hi,
    user10739895 wrote:
    It works fine and gives result without the "START WITH LEVEL = 1".
    However, in 9i, we get the result with the clause "START WITH LEVEL = 1" and after migrating, now in 10g, we are not getting the result. Is it like in 10g, if it is Level 1, we should not specify?
    Also, please clarify, is it like, if we don't specify the default is Level 1? Conceptually, LEVEL is assigned when rows enter the result set. Rows that enter because of the START WITH clause, by definition, have LEVEL=1. Rows that enter because of CONNECT BY have the LEVEL of the row to which they are connected, plus 1.
    "START WITH LEVEL = 1" returns no rows when I try it in Oracle 11.1.0.
    I suggest not using it.
    If you don't have a START WITH clause, you'll START WITH every row in the table. That seems to be what you got in Oracle 9. Is that what you want? If so, then just don't use a START WITH clause.

  • Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Please help!

    Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Also when I try to sink my mini with my iTunes account it says you cannot sync because the sync session failed to start.

    It sounds like to me you're trying to sync using the computer.
    Try these things and see if it helps before you try your next syncing session. If none of the things below work then you might consider trying to sync using iCloud only.
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize Ipod -- Please Help!

    Greetings,
    As the subject says, I cannot get my itunes to recognize my ipod. My ipod shows up fine under "my computer," and works normally everywhere else. I am running itunes 7.0.2, and Windows XP. I am constantly getting the error message about the ipod service module needs to close down. I've tried everything at the Apple support page, including, but not necessarily limited to --
    1. Uninstalling/reinstalling itunes and Quicktime.
    2. Resetting my ipod
    3. Using msconfig to manually restart the ipod service module. This doesn't work because as soon as itunes opens, the service module shuts down.
    4. Changing the USB connection I use to connect the ipod to my PC.
    5. Restarting the PC with everything but itunes turned off.
    Short of reinstalling Windows, something I really don't want to do, I am out of ideas. If I weren't already going bald, I'd be pulling my hair out.
    Any ideas? Please?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Anything here of help?

  • "itunes cant read your ipod" please help :(

    my ipod died so I plugged it into my computer, like usual, to charge and when I came back there was an error message that read:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "mine". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings"
    so I did that, but then I got a new error message saying:
    "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    I'm connected to the internet though so I have no idea what to do and when I disconnected my iPod all of my music is gone, it's still on iTunes but I would like it back on my iPod
    any help would be appreciated!!

    "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
    [iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, iPod or Apple TV (2nd generation) software update server|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814]
    (Slightly different message, but seems like it might be worth a try.)

  • Artwork Fine on iTunes but Random on iPod!

    I apologise if this has already been covered but wonder if anyone has any idea why everything syncs between iTunes & iPod except the artwork displayed on the iPod is entirely random!
    It's only a minor irritation but if there's a quick fix I'd like to have it right.
    Any clues?
    Thanks

    Give it a go KC; Jeff's a genius!
    I followed is initial suggestion and elected not to have the artwork displayed. It sync'd automatically then I reversed my choice. It re-sync'd and it appears to be working correctly now. I tend to use my iPod to play my playlists on random selection. From what I remember, playing individual albums wasn't a problem; the correct artwork came up at the right time.
    The problem seemed to arise when it was playing the playlist tracks randomly. The artwork selection seemed equally random but not in sync with the tracks.
    I've just given it a trial run and after 15 tracks appears to be working fine.
    Good luck KC, let me know how you get on.
    Thanks Jeff.

  • Album art is fine in iTunes but incorrect on iPod

    How do I go about correcting such a problem?
    Thanks.

    Thanks but still no luck I'm afraid.
    To update: I have been using itunes 6 from the outset and have always manually updated the ipod - it has never even been switched to automatic as I changed this at the start (advice from a friend). File formats for the affected tracks are all either AIFF or Apple Lossless - same as all the unaffected tracks.
    The even stranger thing is that artwork for some albums, where all the tracks were imported manually at the same time, shows for some tracks on the ipod and not others. The artwork does, however, show for all of the tracks on the ipod when viewed through itunes!

  • IPod classic is not recognised by itunes but is by windows - please help

    Hi there.... as title suggests my ipod as of today is refusing to be even recognized by itunes despite it being perfectly happy in my computer. I have tried every step that itunes support suggested with the end result meaning that it now has none of my music on it, so that went well.
    Just before it properly went down I would get something along the lines of Cannot sync - \"Required File Could Not Be Found\" Any ideas?

    Hi, I've been bothering with the same problem on the last two days, and also tried everything apple support had to offer, but to no effect.
    By accident and pure luck, I got out of this mess by the following steps (that will maybe help you):
    Go to "My Computer".
    Look out for the iPodClassic Drive.
    Open it.
    Open the folder "iPod_Control"
    Open the folder "iTunes"
    Look for "extras". It's the iTunes Data Source.
    Open it.
    There I was. iPod back in iTunes.
    Hope it will work out for you, too.
    Cheers.

  • Updated to ios7. 1 and phone wants to connect to iTunes but won't connect, please help

  • HT1923 I cannot uninstall apple mobile device support.  I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes but now stuck.  Please help.

    I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes because I had a "msvcr80.dll missing from your computer" error.  I have uninstalled itunes and apple software update but the next one in order "apple mobile device support" will not uninstall.  According to the instructions, that one has to be removed before I can do the rest.  Would love any help I can get.

    Hello and thanks so much for your quick reply. I am at a standstill, because I have done those things already and it has not worked. The repair install procedure seemed to take place quickly, but the same thing happened again when I tried to uninstall it the program after that.... It seems to proceed, then the progress bar goes backward, and there it still is!
    When I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit program and asked it to uninstall the Apple Mobile device Support, it started but then got stuck and I had to shut my computer off, as it froze everything up!
    I'm hoping you can help..... This seems to be a problem with the new version, and it's frustrating, because I can't use Itunes on my computer at all till we find a solution.
    Perhaps if I try to restore my computer to before the Itunes 11.1.4 uodate?
    Thanks so much for your help,

  • Itunes won't recognize ipod *PLEASE HELP- I'M NOT GETTING ANY REPLIES*

    I plug in my ipod, and it appears in My Computer, but it won't come up in the sources for itunes. I've tried it on 3 different computers and it still won't work. I put some music on it a few days ago and it worked fine then. What's going on, now? And how can I fix it?

    You can try opening the iPod drive in My Computer,
    and deleting the folder "iPod_Control" (this is a
    hidden folder, you have to enable "Show hidden files
    and folders" by clicking on the Tools menu in My
    Computer, selecting Folder Options, and going to the
    View tab). Doing this will delete everything off
    your iPod (music, videos, games, etc) but after doing
    so, if you open iTunes it may recognize the iPod
    again and ask you to restore it (will likely say your
    iPod is in "Recovery Mode"). Then do the restore,
    and see if it's recognized after that.
    That helps, but I don't have my music on anything but my iPod because I downloaded it all on a computer at a coffee shop, so if I do that, I'll have wasted about $175 worth of music. I'll use that as a last resort, but are there any other ideas?

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.
