My music is all in weird letters...

i just got a new hard drive and followed the steps to get my music from my ipod onto my computer which worked just fine. Now that they're all on my itunes again, some of the songs never converted back to their names. Most of them did but how do i get the other ones to?..
For example, check up on it-beyonce is named CPHU
..the majority are back to their names but how do i get the rest to do the same?

Drag the folders from your itunes folder on your computer to the library bar in itunes. They should import, change back to their proper names and be placed into properly named folders in your itunes music folder.

Why is the korean language of my music coming up in weird letters?, why is the korean language of my music coming up in weird letters?

Oh, I understand that I'm using the iStudiez app to demonstrate the problem, but the flaw applies all over my phone.
Thank you all in advance for your time and help !

Thank you SO MUCH !!! I can not begin to explain how annoying it is trying to figure out when my classes begin with these weird letters. Problem has been solved. You good sir are a legend. Thanks again !

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.

Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology?

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology? It doesn't look like I created any more space by doing this, AND I totally lost all my iTunes playlists. I'm not sure if because I added old library materials manually if this messed up my playlists, or if the new location is just not reading my moved library. In any case, I followed step by step instructions and found a few holes and thought I'd just "figure it out" but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought since I'm still scratching my head many hours later.
Thanks for any support ;-)

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account. should I have a different account for each device? If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

Can my wife and I merge our songs and share them? I bought songs using my id that she loves and she bought songs using her id and we'd like to listen to all musics in all our 5 devices w/o having to buy them twice! We have 5 devices.

We have 5 devices: 2 iPnones, an iPad, a MacAir and an AppleTV and we'd like to listen to all our music in all devices from a singlr, unified list, w/o having to log off/ logon or buy half of the songs again.

Please describe your setup in more detail. Where is all the music stored now? How are you syncing?

I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone. Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

Hi,
You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

I have different music on my IPod, Macbook Pro, IPad, and IPhone, how can I get all the music from all my devices onto all of my devices?

Iam new to Apple apart from my IPod. All of my devices have different music on them and I want all of my music on all of the devices, how do I go about this. Some has been purchased from ITunes so that has been fine, but other stuff purchased from other online stores and my old CD's I put onto my IPad via an old PC I have no idea how to get onto everything.
Thanks

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

Why is my music disappearing all the time and why is my ipod not being recognized?

First off, I'm horrible with computers, so if anyone answers this could please use layman terms? Okay, so i put music from my flash drive onto itunes and when it was taking over 2 minutes for the drive to eject, I just yanked it out (I know, not the smartest thing to do). But then all my music disappeared. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but nothing happened. I then searched my music folders and found a file that was simply called itunes and had all my music in it. I copied and pasted it into itunes and all my music was back! Then I tried another flash drive with a couple songs on it and ejected it correctly this time.... but my music disappeared again. So i recopied and pasted the itunes music folder but I found that the music I tried to get from my flash drive wasn't on it.I tried to put music on from both flash drives again but the music got wiped again! I gave up on the flash drives and tired to fix itunes. In the control panel section where you can uninstall programs I clicked the repair option for itunes, hoping that would do something. It didn't. So by now, I've uninstalled then reinstalled itunes 3 or 4 times and can still get my music back from the itunes music folder but everytime I turn off or restert my computer the music goes all disappeary on me again. I have no Idea what is going on with itunes and I also can't sync my ipod. It isn't recognized by itunes and when I click on it in the devices section of the start menu, it shows a yellow triangle with an ! in it and when I left click it and select troubleshoot it says "Troubleshoot couldn't identify the problem". The ipod won't even charge when its plugged into the computer, it has to be plugged into a wallcharger. Please help!

Never mind, it somehow fixed itself. At least the itunes store did, but my ipod nano is still not able to sync.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
