Scrambled Music and Unknown file names Help!!!!

I have two problems and hopefully someone can help me. The first problem I have is some of my songs are scrambled. For example, I'll put on song 1 and it will play, then all of a sudden in the middle of song 1, song 2 will cut in and sometimes song 3 or 4. When I do catch the songs that are scrambled I delete them but I'm not able to catch them upfront until the song actually starts playing. If anyone could help me this would really be appreciated. I've tried a few programs but they haven't really worked or it costs to do it. I will pay to fix the problem but I want the program to actually work. BTW this all started a few years ago when I had a Zune and it deleted all my music and I had to search for the music to retrieve what I could. My itunes library hasn't been right every since.
2nd problem: My computer caught a virus a few months back and my entire operating system was deleted. Erased! Finito! I am lucky enough to know a good computer tech and they were able to restore my computer and give me a new operating system currently Windows 7 Ultimate. Anyway, since that I was able to retrieve my music library in Itunes however, some song titles are 4 letters. It's way too much for me to individually change them. For example, song 1 title is now "JHGN". So if anyone could help me with this problem, this would also be helpful.
also want to mention not all my music was downloaded from Itunes. Both of these problems are very frustrating and driving me crazy. I appreciate any help.

    If you want to drag and drop ( don;t know why you would do this), you will have to check manually manage music.
    Why not just sync?

  • Cannot 'Consolidate Library" : Copying music failed , the file name was too

    Hi,
    I am trying to move all the music library to my new computer ( this is my 3rd time of changing my PC). I tried to consolidate the library... but the message was
    Copying music failed , the file name was invalid or too long"
    I already moved the Itunes to my new pc, but my new Itunes cannot "Relocating my file"
    Please help me

    To find out which file it was, look at where you were
    copying them too and see which was the last file
    copied - and then go back to your source, and go to
    the next one - it should be that one.
    I just wanted to add that I had the same issue (failure to finish copying and "invalid or too long" error msg) and at first didn't see how looking for the last file copied would work since iTunes is copying into folders.
    Duh.
    Reverse sort by date modified (newest folder at the top of the list) then drill down to the folder containing the files being copied. Voila. There was the (missing) culprit, and I knew which file to rename in the source folder.
    Thanks for the kick in the brain pan.

  • I've moved an internal hard drive with all my music and library files to a new computer --- how can I get itunes to import the whole library while keeping my metadata?

    I've always kept all my music on its own dedicated internal hard drive.  Now I've got a new PC, finally made the switch to Windows 7 from XP, and I've moved my internal hard drive over to the new machine.
    I installed iTunes, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to import the music and library files, keeping all my playlists and metadata.  Why is this so hard?

    If your New to You Used Mac is froom mid 2012 and originally came with Lion installed on it you will need to Reinstall that version using the Online Internet Recovery system and then at first boot of the new install use the Setup Assistant system to copy over all the data from your wifes old hard drive.
    To access the Online system at startup hold down the Command + Option/alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. From the resulting screen that cames up, Mac OS X Utilities, select Disk Utility and then the top most entry for the hard drive, left hand panel, drive model number and size, and then the Partition tab. Repartition the drive as One Partition, You Must do that to get ride of the Mavericks Recovery HD partition which is hidden. Name the partition Macintosh HD with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Once that is done exit disk utility and select Reinstall Mac OS X.

  • NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

    Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

    Search it up on google.com.  There's a lot of apps that will help you do this.  Check out this one:
    http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-computer-transfer.html
    You can also check out this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWvYo6Gcq44
    I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software.  You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
    Good luck!

  • Just updated my OS to os5...why did all of my music and video file turn into an "other" file and how do I fix it?

    I just updated to OS5 and all of my video and music files are gone and now I have an inaccessible "other" file about the size of the of the old music and video files.  When I go to sync music files in itunes they never show up on the phone.  Help!

    Never mind.  Just read some similar questions and tried restoring it to backed up version and now everything seems to be working.  What a relief!

  • Can I use time capsule to store music and video files as well as use it to back up.

    Can I use time capsule to store music and video files as well as use it to back up.

    Sure.
    Why are so many peolple asking this?
    Just store your files there. 
    And when using Time-Maschine for the back-up select the Time-Capsule (whatever name your has) as the place to store the date.

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

  • I have an iPod Classic 5th Gen.  After 1 month I've lost all my music and playlist files.  The only files left are music I have purchased from iTunes.  How do I restore my music library to my iPod?

    I have an iPod Classic 5th Generation.  I have not used it for about one month.  When I turned it on, I had lost all my music and playlist files.  The only thing left on the iPod was the music and audio books I have purchased from iTunes store.  I tried to delete everything on the ipod by sliding the hold button and then pressing the center button and the menu and I saw the apple logo on the screen but the iPod wouldn't reboot.  Any suggestions as to how I can delete everything on the iPod and then plug it into my computer to restore my music library?  I am using a Windows 7 operating system.

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

  • My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now  I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?

    MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?
    I have just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO app for research (for my kid of course).
    I am developping my English teaching app with LOADS of classical music, mp3 sentences and heavy background bgs. Would the best idea be for client to download these to their hardisk ie I would not need to stream them and therefore save a fortune on bandwidth charges from my ISP???
    Cheers

    I see what you mean ie: they have to get the file to their computer one way or another BUT
    a. If they are going to repeatedly use that file ie: a custom cursor or classical piece of music every week when they log on then it would be better for them to have it on their hardisk wouldn't it? If not, they would have to download it every time they log on. I take it that's why the hello kitty site makes you download 130 megas so you have everything on your hardisk, ie: you will be reusing all those assets MANY times in the future. The experience wil be very FAST as you have it on your local disk and needn't have to wait for streaming.
