My ITunes will not display songs correctly

Ok my Itunes on one of my computers will not display the three boxes at the top labled Genre, Artist, Album. I do know that there is a view icon at the top with three boxes and you click the one to the left. I have two computers and it works just fine on one but not the other. Please Help. Thanks.

ITunes will not display the correct name of my iPod

Whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes, iTunes displays the name of the iPod as HP_Pavillion, which is not the correct name for my iPod, and if I open it, no songs or videos are displayed but iTunes says that 15.13 gb are used (also incorrect).
If I eject the iPod, all of my songs are there and the correct name is displayed under settings.
What do I do????
John

okay, with that set of symptoms we had better check on this possibility:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Itunes will not display amazon purchases

iTunes will not display songs I purchased from Amazon and others, it also will not automatically play them when I shuffle "Purchased". They are in the library because when I search for them I find them.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You stated that you found them when you searched your library - create a playlist from selection.

My Ipad will not display song lyrics

I upgraded to ios 5 and it will not display song lyrics for songs that I put lyrics in for.
any ideas?

I tried Lyrics View but it didn't work well for me. It listed music by song title, there was no way to change that to list by artist or album, and it was difficult to select a song to listen to; often a different one would play than the one highlighted.
Pauser Pro works better but it's still frustrating. I do enjoy being able to see lyrics again, but music is listed alphabetically by song title rather than by artist or album, and there is no preference panel which lets you change that by default. If you want to hear all the songs on a specific album and you select the artist, you get an alphabetized list of his or her songs with a blue cross to the left of each. Clicking All Songs places them on a list, which you can then click on to play a specific song. But you have to put the songs in that list first, and I was unable to make separate lists for each artist; attempts to do so led to them all being placed at the end of the first list.
I was finally able to make up a Playlist using a specific genre on iTunes on my computer, transfer it to my iPad, and then access it through Pauser Pro, but the artists were again mostly mixed up and it took a very long time to rearrange them by artist so I could select one and hear all the songs by one person or group. Of course, after that it continues to the next artist on the list, but at least I don't have to keep fiddling with it while I'm busy doing something else and just trying to enjoy some music.
I contacted the developer about these issues and essentially was told that the app was primarily developed for professionals performing on a stage and that it worked well for that purpose. I'm still not clear on how to create discrete lists in one wished to do that, though.

I have a ipod classic and my itunes will not download songs I have brought help

Are you sure the error message/prompt isn't referring to the amount of disk space available on your PC's internal hard drive? If you head to Start -> My Computer. How much space is free on your C: drive?
Maybe it would help if you could post a small screen shot of the error.

ITunes will not load song info at start-up

Hello,
Bought a 1GB shuffle, installed iTunes, tried loading my music into iTunes and no matter what I do, iTunes will not bring up the song info, artist info, album info, etc when the CD is inserted....it just keeps displaying Track 1, Track 2, etc....it doesn't matter if it is a store bought disc or a homemade copy, still does not recognize info.....I have the latest version of iTunes (4.9) and OS is Windows XP....Any info would be appreciated

If you look in the advanced menu at the top of the itunes window and click on the get track listings this will search for the c.d and give you all the info you require wont always work with obscure c.d's or copies... Hope the forum treats you well

Itunes will not display my existing photos and I cannot rebuild them either

Hey IPhoto will not display my photos aand will not let me rebuild them from any existing library or back up file?

Your interests would be better served if you posted your problem in the iTunes forum. The people there are oriented towards iTunes more than here.
Ciao.

ITunes will not play songs

iTunes will not play any songs from my library. When I click on the song to play the title appears in the box as if it is going to play but the the bar does not move and then the title disappears and a bunch of lines appear.
When I play a video, movie or TV program the video plays fine, but no audio comes out.
Audio and video work fine in any other application and all the system sounds work fine. I can also play audio and video fine using Windows Media Player.
I have shut-down and restarted several times and even let the computer stay shut-down overnight, but to no avail. I have upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and QuickTime. I have also made sure I have the most current version of all audio and video drivers for my laptop. I have also update Vista to Service Pack 1. I also noticed that MS Silverlight also loaded, so not sure if this could be causing my problems.
Any help that anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Finally was able to fix the problem. Here is what I had to do:
1. Uninstall MS Silverlight
2. Install all new Audio and Video drivers (even though they were already the newest versions I had to re-install them).
3. Installed newest MS Windows Vista upgrade.
4. Restarted computer
5. Made sure all my audio settings were set to use the proper speakers.
Now everything is working fine.

ITunes will not play songs on NAS drive

I have a WD My Cloud NAS drive with all my music. I've been playing the music through iTunes for the last year or so on my Windows 7 Professional PC. I just upgraded to iTunes 12.1.0.71 and now iTunes will not play any of my music. iTunes still sees all the music on my NAS drive but clicking the play button does nothing. Only way I can get anything to play is to import the albums/songs into my playlist in iTunes, something I really don't want to do.

Hi Josh,
I have exactly the same issue. I also have many songs I purchased on iTunes that will not download. It seems random. I have 3 recently purchased albums that only half the tracks on one album will download, most on another, but only 2 on another. It's annoying! I keep tapping download and they just give up saying Cant connect to iTunes'. Even though it is.
Regardless, I have too exactly the symptoms you described, but had them periodically before today. Again, not sure if its related, but have you recently got an Apple TV?

ITunes will not load songs on IPod

Recently, my Itunes has stopped adding songs to my Ipod. When I try to drag a playlist into my Ipod, Itunes will load one song and then stop. I've made sure that I have my Ipod set to manually manage my music. I've connected another Ipod and the same thing happens. Any assistance that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciate.

I am also having the same problem with IPod Mini(6G). I purchased it September 2005.
The only thing different was that I needed to change my credit card information. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

ITunes will not display ringtone eligible songs

My iTunes music folder has suddnely decided to not display which songs that can be converted to ringtones. I have clicked on the bell icon and restarted iTunes and rebooted my machine but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Mine also no longer displays the bell icon. I go to iTunes, see if the song in the Store has a bell, and then make a ringtone, or just go and click create ringtone from the menu, and if it lets me, I know I can, and if it doesn't, I know I can't. A hassle, but I've tried everything to get those bells back and I have yet to find a way.

ITunes will not sync songs onto iPhone, troubleshooting methods not working

Simply put, songs will not download onto my iPhone. I have tried every method that I could think of to solve this:
-restarting phone and mac
-updating iTunes
-taking off all the music from the phone and redownloading
-rechecking the little check thing that says I want that song
-restoring my phone
-going onto the individual tab to sync and syncing from there(which leads to a whole other problem, because that deletes songs(story for another thread))
-manually dragging songs onto my phone icon dropbox thingy
-making sure the songs are the proper files
... and still nothing has worked.
When I go on my phone menu when its plugged into iTunes, and then go to the 'On Device' section, it shows that the songs are there, but they are faded out with this little circle thing next to them(I don't know if this is significant).
I'm at my wits end, I just don't know what to do. I don't understand why iTunes is refusing to do something as simple as sync songs.
Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can provide!

UPDATE:
I finally figured it out (though I'm not sure this counts as 'figuring it out').
So, what worked for me was unchecking the check box thing next to the song and syncing the phone. After the sync--behold!--, the songs were in my phone. I don't know if this is another glitch or not, but I'm running with it.
I wanted to post the answer so that other people who may have had this issue can hopefully resolve it.

Itunes will not download songs to my ipod.

I have bought the songs and have them in my library, when I try to put them on my ipod it shows that they have gone on but they don't because it says it isn't responding.What should I do?

I have authorized my computer to work with my ipod. I have ran a sync and it did put music I copied to my computer to the ipod. The thing it will not do is download music I bought from iTunes in the past. It just acts like they are not there.
