My song titles are continually being deleted against my will

When I add files to my library, if the tracks have a particularly long title, as soon as i click on them half the title dissapears. For example, if I add a track with the title "Explosions in the Sky - An Ugly Fact of Life", once i click on the item to play it, the title goes down to "Explosions in the Sky - An". Why on earth would iTunes do this? It's really inconvenient, I've had this happen many times.
Please help.
Thankyou.

Thanks for the helpful suggestion. After reading the site you suggested which would have erased everything, I tried to find an interim solution which seemed to work.
Holding down the Sleep/Wake button at the same time pressing the Home button, I was able to RESET the software without erasing anything. Then resyncing the playlists by unchecking/syncing-----rechecking/syncing, this corrected the problem and all of the songs played.
It would have been a big headache for me to restore all of the deleted calendar, contact, etc. entries. If the RESET had not worked, then I would have done the RESTORE.

    Hi,
    I have exactly, exactly!! thesame annoying problem you have or had. I don't know what to do and i am reallyfrustrated with the dumb limited inside the box solutions offered to me. It'slike if you have a problem with your ipod or iphone you can either restore it,uninstall/reinstall itunes and thats pretty much it. I am sorry but that isjust f***** up.
    anyway, regardless to all that,i was wondering if you had any success in solving this problem (something otherthan using a different computer which oddly enough seemed to work for somereason..?? why???, weird) since April.
    I am on the edge of givingup.
    thank you in advance.

  • My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

    I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

    I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
    IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
    But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
    If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
    This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
    If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
    Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
    Who is your email provider?
    They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

    No, you should have Restrictions OFF.

    Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

  • My library intermittently disappears then, when I add the folder back, the song titles are duplicated requiring me to delete the duplicates

    My library is located on an external HD.  For unknown reasons, I fire up ITunes and find my library "gone" from iTunes.  I select the folder again to re-attach to iTunes and it loads but now many (but not all the titles) are duplicated - my library is ~3K songs collected over yrs so this gets pretty tedious.

    Sony VIAO by any chance? The vanishing iTunes library effect can be caused by a number of third party tools, e.g. media managers or anti-virus, but VAIO is notorious for this problem.
    You should be able to update the offending product or get it to exclude the iTunes folder from its scans so that it no longer causes problems. However the best defense against disaster is a robust backup strategy.
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove your unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • Photos I delete in library are not being deleted from hard drive

    Help please. I have been trying to delete photos from the iPhoto library (Events and Photos) and emptying the iPhoto trash can. This is supposed to erase them from the hard drive. However, when I look in the hard drive in the Pictures folder, the photos I deleted are still there. Could someone tell me what might be wrong? Thanks!

    I'm running a managed library.
    Let me see if I can understand this. The problem has to do with the place I was looking at. I was looking in the pictures folder in the hard drive. Now, the pictures inside the iPhoto library are the ones that are deleted from the hard drive, and the ones in the Pictures folder are not being touched at all. So I have two separate folders with pictures: the iPhoto library folder and the Pictures folder inside the hard drive.
    Since I'm going to be using iPhoto exclusively I might as well delete that other Pictures folder in the hard drive. If I delete the pictures in this folder, would that affect the pictures I have in the iPhoto Library? I'm thinking no since iPhoto has made copies of all those pictures. What do you think?
    THanks for the info TD

  • Emails are not being deleted form iCloud when I delete them from Mail

    I am having trouble with not being deleted on the iCloud server when I delete them on my Mac.  If I delete them from iCloud they disappear from my Mac but if I delete from my Mac they stay on iCoud and then reappear on Mac.
    On both iCloud and Mac I have preferances set to move deleted messages to the trash.
    any help would be appreciated.

    You don't need to delete photos from your camera roll to save on backup sizes, you can turn individual items on and off for back up in your iCloud back up settings.
    Apple States that the last 3 back ups are accessible, which means the photos from your back up may not be removed immediately.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • The song titles are displayed incorrectly, how do I fix this?

    Ever since an update of itunes a couple of months ago, the titles have been displayed incorrectly in my library. I listen to a lot of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese music and after the update the information turned into squares. I went online and tried the much given solution of converting the id3 tags. This resulted in all my songs (even the english ones) turning to Chinese script when I reversed unicode, which was solved by reversing it again. However after trying all the id3 versions I am now left with a part of my songs being displayed as ?????? and with the other, largest part having the correct names but with the symbol Ƞ spread throughout the titles, which is annoying to say the least.
    Other programmes on my computer display the different scripts just fine, and I have Japanese and Korean installed so as to be able to write it. The songs are also still displayed correctly if I acces them in their folders.
    I am kind of losing hope after trying to find a solution on the internet for a while now, and have even re-installed itunes completely, to no avail.
    If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I'd be very grateful.

    Hi Treenr3,
    Sounds like you have been on the right track with regard to troubleshooting this issue. It may be worth going over the font troubleshooting in the following article, just to double check (it refers to a previous version of iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar).
    iTunes 9: Font text is incoherent or appears in a different language

    It may also be worth trying some isolation troubleshooting in new test user account with just a couple of the tracks that are having issues to see if it persists.

  • Thumbnail adresses, and website icons are not being deleted when I clear history and cache, how do I delete these?

    I am trying to delete the icons that websites use which are located in the user file of appdata/local/mozilla,
    and the website adresses that are located at the bottom of the thumbnails when opening a new tab. clearing data deletes the actual thumbnails, however the adresses are still located below where the thumbnails would be. I have tried clearing history with everything checked, and all history selected to be cleared, and also deleted the cache and cookies. what can I do to delete these things? Thanks

    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • Why are events being deleted in my history (prior months) on iCal?

    After downloading iCloud, I've noticed that any even scheduled in prior months has been deleted.  I like to keep this info for reference points in my business.  Can someone please give me advice on how to keep all past events on my Ipad / iCal?  And how can I restore these past events onto my iPad's iCal?  They are still showing up on the iCal on my iMac, which is really confusing!  Thank you!!!!

  • Song titles are getting cut off for some reason

    I never had this problem before but for some reason the last few songs I have imported and encoded into AAC have the titles cut off after (I guess) a certain amount of characters. This has never been a problem before. Is there a preference that I need to change? I'm running 7.0.1.8 for Windows.
    I have many other songs with longer titles than the latest I have uploaded. This is a strange new occurence.
    Thanks in advance

  • Emails are not being deleted from POP server

    I have an E75.
    When using Nokia Messaging on my phone, I am able to delete emails from my POP account.......at least it looks that way.
    Later, when I access my POP account using my computer, the emails are still there.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    This is a POP account for my work - I cannot change it to IMAP.
    My phone has been syncing with it perfectly for almost 4 months.
    However, in the last week or so, it stopped working properly.
    Now, Nokia Messaging won't delete the email file off of the server.

  • Album Artwork continually being deleted

    For whatever reasons, iTunes keeps deleting artwork. All the time.
    It doesn't matter whether the file is AAC or MP3, downloaded or imported, old or new. It just keeps removing the album art.
    And when you get it back, it only last a while before being removed again.
    And even if it does come back on iTunes - the ones with album art on iTunes, don't have album art on my iPhone!
    I've tried wiping everything off my iPhone and updating iTunes...but that's made the problem even worse.
    Any ideas?
