Music won't transfer properly into iTunes

Hi,
everytime I import my music into iTunes some information is missing like album name, album cover, title number, interprets ....
My music is shown with every information in windows and windows media player, but when I try to import it into iTunes those are missing, even after reinstalling iTunes, reediting my music and reimporting.
Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

PSE5 slideshow won't import properly into PSE8

Hi,
I have a number of large slide shows created in PSE5 which function properly in PSE5 but won't import properly into PSE8. All of the transitions, pans, and zooms are there (from the .psess file), but all of the photos are blank (black). Ocasionally there's totally unrelated photo in one of the black slots.
I've read numerous posts here and in the Village but so far I've not been able to resolve the issue.
What I suspect is that something in the structure of the PSE5 access database (Catalog) is corrupt preventing the proper transfer of slideshow details into the PSE8 SQLite dabase.
I've spent numerous hours trying to kick-out a solution but so far nothing has worked. Here's what I've tried so far (all with copies of the original database).
1) In PSE5 I've removed all slideshows, creations, albums, and photos except for one single slideshow. Import to PSE8 fails.
2) Numerous catalog recoveries, optimizations, and repairs both before and after conversion to PSE8. No joy.
3) Database investigations with Mr. Ellis' psedbtool. Nothing wrong is ever reported. I can't really deduce what has been corrupted.
4) Create New slideshow in PSE5 and convert to PSE8. Some success since most photos make it through but some photos are complete un-related.
The ONLY thing that as worked is the following:
Create New Catalog in PSE5. Create New slideshow in PSE5. Convert to PSE8. Slide show works fine in PSE8.
I'm hoping that someone can help me determine how to fix the PSE5 access database or find a way to kick the slideshows out of the corrupt PSE5 catalog so that it converts properly to PSE8.
Thanks, in advance, for anyone who takes on this challenge and will lend a hand. Throw some ideas out there and I'll give them a try.

Are you creating a standard menu or a layered menu? I would warn you that there are a lot of problems with layered menus. They are best avoided.
There is a tutorial on creating custom shapes at;

But you are really best off creating your entire background in Photoshop and importing it as one piece.

How do you import music videos from a dvd into iTunes?

I have got a music cd and includs a music dvd. I want the music videos to be imported into iTunes so I can watch them on my iPod touch. How do I do this?

I had a friend who got a dual-format music album on DVD of the band Chicago for his birthday. He didn't have a system that could play the remixed 5.1 surround sound version on the DVD, but he could play it back in his Mac OS X on the DVD player in good old stereo. However, he wanted a copy he could play in his car CD player.
So I used Audio Hijack to record the output of the DVD played back as stereo through the Apple DVD player in Mac OS X. I had Audio Hijacj write the output to the hard drive as AIFF 16-bit 44.1KHz stereo. Then I used iTunes to burn it to a CD.
Of course it took 45 minutes to make a recording from a 45-minute audio program; it happened in real-time.
(This was all perfectly legal because he owns the DVD and he's using the CD recording as a backup audio copy for his own personal use--basically like ripping a CD you own for use in your iPod).
I did an a/b comparison between the original DVD and the AIFF recording I had generated, and I was pleasantly surprised by its good quality.
Since then I've been an Audio Hijack fan.

Music from CDs that is on my iPod won't transfer to my iTunes library on a different computer I used to use but all music bought from iTunes will? How do I fix this?

In the past to get music from CDs onto my iTunes library and onto my iPod was all easy and fine, as you would know if you have done such a thing before. I used to use a different laptop for all my music stuff to the desktop I have to use now as the other one is broken. It is an authorised computer on my iTunes, so my issue has got nothing to do with that. When I got this desktop (it is quite an old one, if that makes any difference), i had to download iTunes and put all my music into my library to back it up.
However, all music that I had bought physically that is currently on my iPod (CDs) WON'T transfer into my new library on the desktop, but all music that I had bought digitally (iTunes) WILL transfer.
This has led to about 300 missing songs in my library and means I can't transfer all of my music onto a different device (as I am trying to transfer all my music onto an iPhone 3).
I have tried countless things. All of that "File > Devices > Transfer purchases" stuff WILL. NOT. WORK. I tried copying the music into a file on the desktop and then adding said file into the library, but it won't let me paste any music.
If someone were to help me in transferring the music I so dearly love then I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

TS1420 my itune music won't transfer to my ipod classic its been fully restored and the music still won't transfer over it locks up halfway in between the transfer

can someone please help me with this. I got a fully restored iPod Classic I was able to transfer only 211 song that I purchased from iTunes on to my iPod I have successfully transfer music from my computer into iTunes but when I go to transfer that music to my ipod it starts to transfer and then it locks up on the computer..my iTunes is up to date and so is the iPod I have restarted my computer and resync several times I've dealt with this issue all day and I'm still struggling and not having no luck

Leaving an iPod in a car is a bad idea, aside from the theft potential. The extremes of heat and cold that a car can face can damage the internal hard disk. Remember, an iPod classic is not like the newer devices: it is like your older desktop computer with a physically spinning hard disk, with reading heads floating microns above the disk. Heat and cold creates expansion and changes tolerances.
I'd suggest bringing the iPod inside, and leaving it inside for at least 24 hours to let it come to temperature equilibrium. Try that first.
Your response didn't address the other side of the equation: the iTunes you sync to. Have you updated iTunes recently or any other component? Install any drivers? Change the port where you plug in the iPod? Install any new security software, such as antivirus, that wasn't present when it was last able to synch?

I downloaded music on my phone but it won't transfer to my iTunes on my computer. How do I fix this?

IPod Touch 4g upgraded to iOS 5; now 80% of music won't play (even in iTunes)

I saw a lot of related questions, but not this issue: after updating to iOS 5 on my Touch 4g, 64GB. most of the music simply won't play. No error messages, the albums and songs still show, but when pushing play, nothing happens. The capacity bar on the bottom of iTunes shows the data is still there, but for some
reason, most of the music is affected. Anyone else experience this? It's the same whether it's just playing on the device or when I plug it into iTunes and try to play it: won't budge when I push the "Play" button. How can I "unlock" my music? (and no, I chose not to get the 'iCloud' thing when updating the iTunes version to 10.5 or whatever the latest one is; I figured I could add iCloud later when I learned more about it). I also use Manual instead of Sync.

Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

Trouble with iPodrip - won't come back into iTunes, just to hard drive

This question may be simple to answer, but I am racking my brain and becoming more frustrated. Used iPodrip to get my music back into iTunes from my iPod, but it wouldn't bring it into iTunes and their support was no help so I tried to bring it back just to the hard drive instead and that worked. Problem is, now I have 5200 songs sitting on my hard drive and since they are not in the iTunes library I get the error that the original wasn't found and would I like to find it. Even if I drag all the files into the iTunes library it does this. Anyone with a quick solution other than going into each music file and re-routing the directory?

Thanks, Nick.
Well, it's there, I didn't glue it back because I didn't know what sort of glue to use and I figure this region gets really hot, so it shouldn't be just any kind of glue. I just slid the hd in with it, it's as good as glued.
A hint here: if you close the upper case just a bit wrong, chances are your dvd drive won't work anymore, it will start spitting discs and behaving like it's broken.
I for one wouldn't advise anyone opening the macbook case, it's absolutely painful and a lot can go wrong. But if you, like me, wasn't satisfied with the Apple Care service - here in Brasil the service provider I sent my mb to changed my battery for an older one and dented one of the tips of the battery case to the point it lost it's color - and you have a spare mac (I have a Core Duo mini, then good luck!

I have a large music collection in My Music which is where my Itunes music is. I use Itunes match now and possibly it is what is causing my problems but can't be sure. I keep getting a new My Music folder when I go into itunes so I have 2. what can I do

Hi. I have a very large my music folder on my C drive. This is were all of my music is including itunes. However, when I go into itunes, it sets up a new my music folder. If I erase the new folder, it comes back the next time I go into itunes. It is just a very small folder vs. the large 132 GB file named My Music. What is this new one and why does it keep getting generated vs. Itunes just using the large My Music folder that has all my music. The small My Music it creates is 134 MB. Does this have something to do with using Icloud and Itunes Match? I find it confusing to have two my music folders.

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

1st generation won't transfer songs from iTunes without factory reset

Hi, my 1st gen won't transfer newly purchased songs from iTunes. I've tried checking for downloads but it checks and states "just checked for downloads"
Also attempted restarting, but that didn't help. Only way I can get it to transfer is a factory reset.

ones had an issue a bit like that with my 1g Apple TV what fixed it for me was to unpair the computer in the appletv settings and then rebind it
sure it took ages to sync everything over again but it fixed it
think I've done it 2 times over the years

How do I get the music on my iPhone back into iTunes?

Last night after much effort I was able to get my music and audiobooks synced with my iPhone 3G. This morning iTunes on the Laptop has crashed and been re-installed several times. Now the playlists and audiobooks are missing/incomplete. Is there a way to get the data on the phone back into iTunes? Right now I'm afraid to sync because I believe the iTunes will ruin what is on the phone.

I guess I thought syncing with iTunes was a "back-up". The data is on the iPhone, is there a way to write that data back into iTunes, rather than letting iTunes overwrite whats on the phone. I've located some of the previous/damaged iTunes library files, but not sure how to restore them.

Songs didn't load properly into itunes; each song is an album

I moved several albums of songs into itunes, but some of the albums didn't load properly, with each individual song going into itunes as an album itself. I went into the info for each song and found that the album name is correct, and the same for each song, yet they don't load under one album. Is there some way to get each song into its album besides just changing the album name? Is there some other setting in those songs that needs to be changed?

If you right click on them and select Get Info and go to the Info tab are they shows part of a complilation/different tracks of one album?

Some of the mp3 songs won't get add into itunes? what's the problem

When i try to add mp3 songs into itunes library it won't get add

Alright so this buggged the sh1t out of me and gave me enough reason to figure it out. Although I don't know what causes the random MP3s not to work, you can simpley convert them into an AAC file through Itunes. Just highlight the song or songs in itunes, right click, and choose the option for "create AAC version". I'm on a MBP and have to redo permissions on the files in order to drop them on the blackberry via mass storage device.
