MP3 file comments not shown in iTunes, but are in Windows programs

Ok, am orgaising my music collection. I use iTunes on Mac v7.6, Leopard
There is no comment shown in the itunes for the MP3 files, but if I goto Win XP (boot camp) and either do a list in explorer, or use a program like tag & rename or MonkeyMedia then I can see comments there.
1) why is this
2)how can I get iTunes to show them properly
3) how can I list them in Mac, so I can delete them
please help
thanks

Ok so without the file you say you cant tell - how will I be able to check? ie if you had the file(s) how would you check and I will use your procedure.
But if they are windows comments how come Media rage and Musorg see them and not iTunes? In fact if they are "windows" comments how do they how in Media rage and Musorg and not iTunes - i just been thing about that. Surely if they were it wouldnt show up in these.
Also in Media Rage and Musorg, there is only 1 comment field as in iTues but Rage and Musorg show the comment whereas iTunes does not.
Is there an app that can show whats actually embedded into the MP3 file? ie the tag details or something? Windows or Mac to see what is going on?
I will send you a file, but would like to know how I check myself, its bugging me!!!
cheers

New Nano 4Gb is not recognised by itunes but is by Windows XP

I previously had a iPod Mini which recently failed so I have purchased a 4Gb Nano this week
However when I connect it to my computer I can see it in explorer but not in iTunes (when I conect my girlfriends 2 Gb Nano to my computer it is recognised by both Windows and iTunes)
In addition when ever I plug it in Windows starts up autoplay
When I disconnect the Nano even safely the Nano resets itself and asks for the language I wish to use
Any ideas on how to fix this or is it time to return this. I have trie hard resets when connected and not connected

Hello,
Have you seen this article about it?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes but does in Windows
I would suggest doing a restore on your iPod (this will format your iPod to this computer).
You won't be able to do that yet, since if you open up the iPod Updater, do you get a "iPod Service Error" or "can't mount iPod" (I presume you will get one of those messages)?
See this link:
iTunes/iPod Updater confuse iPod with network device, causing iPod to not mount or be recognized.
Overall, in this situation, I suggest assigning your iPod a different drive letter, then try restoring it:

I hope this helps!

Bounced MP3 file do not play in iTunes

Hi guys!
I'm a new Logic Express 9 user (and a complete novice in recording!). I just managed to connect my Roland RD-700SX piano to my Macbook Pro (USB connection). I managed to use Logic Express 9 to record a simple song that I played on the piano. If I understand it correctly, the flow of data and subsequent "creation" of sound is as follows:
- upon recording: piano keyboard (acting as controller) --> Logic Express (receiving MIDI-data from keyboard) --> sound generator inside the piano (receiving MIDI-data from Logic Express) --> speakers
- upon playback: Logic Express (sending the recorded MIDI data) --> sound generator inside the piano (receiving recorded MIDI-data from Logic Express) --> speakers
I then bounced the file to an MP3 (following the directions in the "Exploring Logic Express 9" manual).
Upon playing the MP3 file in iTunes, there is no sound. I can see that the file was compressed (the MP3 file is about a quarter of the original uncompressed file).
Why is there no sound after bouncing the file? Does it have something to do with the fact that the "playback" within Logic Express 9 is sending the MIDI data to the piano's sound generator, and therefore does not actually hold the "audio" data, but a mere projection of that data? If the latter, how can I record the "audio" that I hear when playing the recording in Logic Express? If not possible to record the exact same audio (which is based on a top-range grand piano pre-installed in the RD-700SX), is there a way to use the MIDI-data in the project file and record "audio" based on the instruments that came with Logic Express?
Thanks!

Hi man,
my sympathy for RD700sx users is unbroken
You gave the answer yourself: "Why is there no sound after bouncing the file? Does it have something to do with the fact that the "playback" within Logic Express 9 is sending the MIDI data to the piano's sound generator, and therefore does not actually hold the "audio" data, but a mere projection of that data?"
That's exactly what happens. You didn't record any audio in Logic, but only MIDI data streamed from and to your digital piano.
To have your song bounced, you must record the RD700SX' sounds into an audio track. To do this, it is not sufficient to connect the keyboard via USB, because it hasn't got an integrated audio interface.
Instead, go get yourself an audio interface (or, in case of missing funds, connect it with a suitable adapter cable directly to you Mac's inputs, you'll want to use the headphone jack of the RD700 as output perhaps). Then, aim a audio track for recording and hit record. The Mac will stream the MIDI data to your RD700, which in return will feed the audio track with audio (resulting in a visible waveform). Now this can be bounced.
Alternatively, you can use the MIDI data you've recorded to feed software instrument tracks which will produce audio as well.

The episodes I uploaded last weeks are not shown in Itunes but only in the podcast app for iPhone.

In june I started the podcast and it was apprroved by Itunes.
It took a long time for the first 2 episodes to be uploaded.
But they are now finally in.
So in the last two weeks I uploaded episoded 2 till 6.
But they are shown in Itunes, although they are shown and can be downloaded in the podcast app for Iphone.
What is going wrong?

After waking up this morning, not only the last added episode but also the 4th and 1st dissapreared.
Could you please have a look again at the posterous and feedburner pages.

My 6th Gen iPod nano is not recognised in iTunes, but is in windows.

Up until this morning my ipod was working fine with iTunes. I updates iTunes this morning and then a message came up stating that iTunes knew there was a device but it couldnt access it or something along those lines. It said if this problem continued I should reinstall iTunes. I evenutally reinstalled iTunes, I also restarted my iPod and stopped and starting the services. I tried to delete the Temp file in Local, but it wouldn't let me. I have tried restarting my laptop, plugging the USB into a different port. Nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions on how to get it working again?

Hey Sue13228,
Good troubleshooting so far. I would also try out the steps in the following link:

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.

Mp3 does not play in iTunes but plays in Windows Media Player

Dear group,
iTunes will not play a particular group of mp3s I have but the same mp3s play fine in Windows Media Player.
Winamp cannot play them either.
I've searched the net a bit and found many mentions of it but no solutions which work for me.
Also, these same mp3s are on my iPod and they play fine.
Any clues what is causing this bizzare problem? The files are not wma do not have DRM or anything like that.
I have tried reinstalling iTunes and Winamp.
Thanks

Do the tracks import into iTunes even though the will not play? If so try selecting a track, then go to Advanced>>Convert ID3 tags and select None.
If that allows the track to play you can select multiple tracks to convert.

Purchased movies not shown in itunes (but on Apple TV and iPhone 6)

Hello,
I bought some movies on apple tv and they are shown correctly on iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2) and Apple TV 3.
But I can't see them (the movies library is shown empty) in iTunes 12 on my MacBook Air (mid 2012, Yosemite 10.10.1).
My music is shown correctly with iTunes match so i don't think it's a problem with iCloud.
Any ideas what i can do to see my purchased movies in iTunes?
Thank you a lot and happy new year!!
Peter

I've had this issue a couple of times on my Apple TV (3rd gen). I managed to get the newly matched content to show up a couple of times by editing the metadata for the album and then changing it back to the original (i.e. I changed the album title to add an 'X' to the end of it, then changed it back to the original) and it somehow triggered the iTunes Match on the Apple TV to update itself. I haven't really found a way to force Match on the Apple TV to update itself if it's being stubborn. Best of luck getting this sorted.

Ipod nano 7 th gen not shown on itunes but detected on vista.

Hi when i connect my ipod to laptop it is detectd on my windows but my i tunes is unable to identify my ipod, what shuld i do??

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

My ipod is not recognized by iTunes (but recognized by Windows)

Hi everyone,
I have bought a new ipod 30G 5th Generation. Initially, I have a 4G ipod and an itunes installed on my computer. I have updraged my itunes to v7 and pluged my new ipod 5G to my compuer. I can see the ipod on My Computer as a removable disk but iTunes don't recognize the ipod and don't have it on the Device list.
Since I'm on iTunes v7, I have run the diagnostic module and in the log file I have this:
Connected Device Information
MONIPOD (F:\), iPod with video running firmware version 1.2.1
Serial Number: 8N644RUDV9M
Bus Speed: 61440
The last connected iPod serial number: 4J527R2GTDS.
It seems that iTunes is recognizing that I had a previous ipod. Does anyone know if Itunes is not recognizing my new ipod because another ipod was already registered on my computer ?
Thank you.

Albums not showing on iTunes but are on fully synced iPhone

Something I've noticed as I've been putting together a playlist, I have some albums which aren't showing in my iTunes. The albums were transferred from a hard drive not purchased from the iTunes Store. They are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music so the location I believe is correct but when you go into the the album title the folder there are no song files.
At first I thought perhaps they had been deleted so went to re-burn the discs but noticed something strange..the albums are on my iPhone which has only ever been synced to my Macbook and is set to sync All Music.
I'm a bit lost as to how this may have happened, if they weren't on my phone I'd assume it was a conflict of file types, perhaps the culprit albums are in .wma format but they play and show with artwork on the iPhone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(Macbook Pro Yosemite running iTunes 12 with iPhone 6 - all updated to current versions.)

If not the U2 album then
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Ipod not recognized in itunes but is in windows

okay, what should i do here, i followed all the steps in the article on this on the support site, i reinstalled, disabled conflicting processes, every step in that article about if my ipod is recognized by windows but not itunes, what should i do now??? cuz i'm baffled, my ipod is flashing do not disconnect, and has the spinning icon in the top left corner indicating that it is doing something, is there anything i should do to get it recognized in itunes?

Hi, I kind of have a similar problem. I have two Ipods. One is an Ipod video and the other is a 4GB ipod nano. And i'm having problems with the nano. My girlfriend once disconnected while it was playing on itunes. Since then i haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried everything. Windows won't recognize it and neither does Itunes or the updater. When I open the updater it says initializing and it freezes. Itunes wont read it at all, and windows, well when i go to "safely remove hardware" it comes up there it says "Apple Ipod USB devie". I'm not sure if its recognizing it at all. But it wont disconnect it. The nano itself works fine! Well actually when she disconnected it the nano wouldn't turn off. Until i connected back to the computer and restored it. And thats when it wouldnt' come up on my PC. If anyone can please help me, or has had the same problem and worked around it, any advice will be greatly appreciated . . .thanks
