Music player on N97 only shows 2 days of songs.

That's right. When you open music player and go to "All Songs" you know you normally see how many hours/days of music you have on your phone in total up at the top. I just got up to 2 days and when I tried to load on more songs.....the stats just vanished.....**bleep**!
I turned off the phone a few times and nothing helped. I deleted some songs and it came back showing 1 day 23 hours. Tried putting back on more music and **bleep**! disappeared again. Was wondering if maybe my player can only show up to 2 days? Just curious. see attached.
Anyone else had this happene to them?
Thanks

Ok..... I guess it was just the phone acting up. As usual the phone would freeze ever so often then I'd shut it off and reboot it and everything was all good for a time until it froze again. (sigh) Then suddenly the music duration counter reappeared one day to let me know I had 2days and 2 hours of music on my phone. Geez.... Can't wait to get the N8 to replace this thing.!
Thanks

Trying to import cd, it only shows tracks, not song titles. when i try and get the titles it says im not registered for online use even though im signed in. how can i fix this?

Im trying to import songs from a cd, but it only shows track numbers, no title of songs.when it try to get the titles it gives error code saying im not registered for online use. i am signed into my account so i dont know how to fix this.

The "not recognized for on-line use" error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\.
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure.
If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes.

Movies only show up under Songs LIst

On my iPod Classic 80GB, movies (purchased and manually added) only show up under the songs list. I cannot change the info (movie, tv show) in iTunes because that is not an option for files in the songs list. I have been able to re-add a couple of the manually added movies and they show up in the right place, but the purchased movies I cannot do this with. This only became a problem today and has not been a problem in the past. They show up under the songs list only and not in the movies even though the info shows them as mp4. Any help is appreciated.

I would say that is a good indication that the movies are not actually synced. Check your sync settings in iTunes and also make sure that there is actually enough disk space available on the ATV for the movies that have yet to sync.

Music player jumping back 10 seconds on a song

Hi, i just found a weird behaviour on my new iphone5s. When i start listening a song with the music player and then i put it in sleep mode if i wake it up the song jumps about 10 seconds back (sometimes even more). This is happening with every song i have. Is it maybe a well known bug? I tried a web-search but i didn't find anything.
EDIT: i just tried the most obvious thing, restarting the iphone, and it seems to have solved the issue. i hope it will last...

Music App on iPad Only Showing SOME Songs...

...yet ALL songs appear to be ON THE IPAD when viewed in iTunes on my MacBook with the iPad connected to my MacBook
So here's my issue and Googling for days has only produced a bunch of theories and random guesses at a solution but no real solution. Here we go: With my iPad 2 (ver. 5.1.1) connected to my MacBook, I drag a handful of MP3s (audiobook tracks) onto my iPad. Using iTunes on my MacBook, I create some Playlists on the iPAd for these new tracks.
Then, I press the Sync button in iTunes to ensure that what I have just done on the iPad in iTunes on my MacBook actually syncronizes with the iPad. Everything looks good. With the iPad still connected, in iTunes I can see the handful of new tracks I just dragged over onto the iPad and they actually appear in the correct Smart Playlist I made.
However...
When I disconnect the iPad from the MacBook, then open up the Music app on the iPad, I cannot see my new MP3 tracks anywhre on the iPad and the new Playlist is empty.
Now, keep in mind that SOME tracks transfer and are visible in Music. However, it is not 100% consistent and it fails more often than it is successful.
I have tried deleting the tracks and the Playlists from the iPad entirely then dragging them back onto the iPad (via iTunes) and while the tracks actually show that they are in fact on my iPad (via MacBook iTunes) while the iPad is connected to my MacBook, when I disconnect the iPad from MacBook/iTunes, I am unable to find the tracks on my iPad via the Music app. They don't show up in Music, Audiobooks. They don't even show up by author or genre. It's as if they aren't even on my iPad. Yet, when I reconnect the iPad back to the MacBook and view the contents via the iTunes on my MacBook, viola! There they are on my iPad.
I have successfully used this method to add MP3s to my iPad and occasionally, the tracks actually do show up in my Music app on the iPad. However, success is intermitent and uncertain...and rare.
I am NOT using iTunes Match so that option is turned OFF in my iPad Settings. I have tried turning it on to see if it would make a difference and I onl get a dialog box that tells me that I'm not subscribed to iTunes Match.
I have updated my iPad IOS to the latest. Have powered off completely then powered back on.
Still....nothing works.
Thanks so much for your input. I'm perplexed beyond belief by this random and frustrating issue.
C'mon gurus and expert users. What do you recommend?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

How can I print from Calendar and only show days with events?

There were several threads under iCal asking this question but never an answer. Basically, how can I print a list of selected events without getting all days with NO EVENT?
In my case, what I want is in one Calendar - so I just want to print that one.
Thanks!

I see how to do this for a given month. Sorry I thought incorrectly the solution above would work.
Open the month you would like to priint. Do "Edit > Select All" from Calendar's menu (or command-A, which does the same thing).
Do File > Print > <Change view to Selected Events>.

IPod 2G playing music with shuffle will only repeat just one song

When I start playing music on my iPod it will repeat just one song.

Do you have the repeat feature turned on? It is the racetrack-like icon on the left side of the screen below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to cycle through the variuos modes (off, repeat play list, repeat one song). Thus is covered in chapter 4 (Music) of the Users Guide.

N97 Firmware 2.1 Music Player - Podcast listing

I just updated to 2.1, and within the music player - podcasts, i have lost, Never Played, recently heard, all podcasts and now only have listing by podcast name. liked the prior features, anyone know if this is a bug or "upgrade"?
thanks

I had the same problem with my N97 after fw upgrade and was about to chuck it out the window for good before I found this RE:defective music library:
http://sjc-nokia5800.blogspot.com/
Here's what I did: (same resetting method modified for N97 fw 2.0)
1) Connect your phone to your computer in Mass Storage mode
2) Browse to the following folders and delete ONLY the files inside, NOT THE FOLDERS:
Private/101ffc31, Private/101ffca9 and Private/10281e17
3) Unmount/Disconnect the phone
4) Go to Music Library and N97 should show a "Corrupt Music Library" message and start fixing it automatically.
5) A few minutes later (depending on the size of your music library) it will show "#### New Songs Added" and everything should be back to normal.
Hope this is useful to someone.
My personal 2 cents: I think it's a compatibility bug in music catalog files between fw 1.x and 2.0, and strongly believe Nokia must clean up its act on its symbian flagship.

PC Windows 7 is now showing iPod Touch (4th Gen) as a digital camera instead of music player

I somehow lost my entire iTunes library on my PC Windows 7 (64 bit) and need to restore it to my PC. When I try to copy the songs from my iPod Touch Version 4.1.2, it shows up as a digital camera device rather than a music player device and only gives photo box to type into. It also does not show up as ipod_control in the ipod drive folders. I followed all instructions but cannot accomplish anything. I also tried to follow instructions provided for the digital camera device to no avail. I have the most recent installed version of iTunes 12 and all my drivers are up to date. Can anyone help me resolve this problem? Thank you so much for your courtesy.

You need a third-party program as discussed here to get non-iTunes purchases from the iPod to a computer.

Music player in iPhone doesn't show cover of album, downloaded from itunes

I bought an album on iTunes and downloaded it on the iPhone (without program). The music player program doesn't show the album cover. I see it in iTunes program on computer, but don't see it in iPhone. Deleted album from iPhone, uploaded it again, using iTunes program. Nothing changed.
iPhone 5s 8.0.2

I do not know what the intention is to open and run command prompt on iphone. Lovely picture, BTW, thank you.
Apple created iphones and ipads the way that windows explorer or OS can only read and manage one folder. DCIM
folder that contains your pictures on the phone. Only the pictures made by you, nothing else. So anything you trying to accomplish in command prompt is not going to happen.
If you read somewhere that you need to right click to back up your phone or transfer purchases or restore you need to be looking on the other screen in that article. Look at how to back up instructions here. They have step by step.

I recently updated my N97 V.20 and the phone is way better than before.. I have problem in my music player when i copy files on my internal 32GB memory and refresh the library it keeps on refreshing then i have to remove battery. When i on the phone and check the music library it will not show any music tracks but the details shows that 273 songs have been added..

I also had the "Problem".
1. Restart your Phone ( OFF and ON ) after transferring the Files.
2. Start Music Player
3. Go to "options"
4. Got to "refresh library" or "update library" I don't know the exact wording because i've got the German Version.
5. The amount of imported Files will be displayed. Finished.

Help required with N97 music player

Hi. Could someone help me out please.
Got an N97 at the weekend and wanted to transfer some songs onto the music player for my laptop.
Installed the OVI software no problem, everything went fine.
Dragged my chosen songs to the player and got a message confirming the songs had been transferred.
Went into music player in the N97 and it was totally empty.
Message saying all songs had been transferred on the software.
Any ideas?

OK, problem sounds similar to mine but refresh & waiting not working for me. One day my music was working fine (listening in car, using sat nav, all plugged into stereo, great...), then I download some photos to my PC and the next day, my music player doesn't think it has any songs...
Go into any of the "Albums", "Artists", "All Songs" etc folders and all I get is a message saying (no songs) and yet, at the top of the page, it says "11 days, 23 hours" - which is how much music I did have on there...
I have tried refreshing the library - takes about 30 seconds & tells me no new songs added. Have rebooted phone & taken battery out for a minute yet I still can't play or access any of my tunes.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please?!!!

Hello Dark Pikachu
Check out the article below to put the previous iTunes library file back on to bring back the songs that you had before the update. It will walk you through step by step to get you sorted out.
