Song and Albums Synch, but Unable to Find Song Under Artist Name
I have a 20GB vidoe iPod. All my songs from my online library, which I purchased on Itunes, synch to my iPod. However, I cannot locate a song under the Artist category, because the Artist name is not listed. I can find, however, the song if I search for the Album or the Song name itself. So, in a nut shell, the songs are on my iPod, but the Artist name is not listed for that song. Help.
It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?
Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod. -
Trying to find a Program that locates and updates your songs and albums??
Does any1 know of a program that Finds and Updates Information about Your songs and Albums. These are the Songs and albums that have already been on my PC and not have been purchased on Itunes
In the detailed help for the event structure there is a link to caveats and recommendations for using event structures. It is a good starting point.
It is courteous to let the Forum know when your questions are related to a school assignment or homework. We are glad to help you learn LabVIEW, but do not do your homework for you.
You have learned the major disadvantage of the sequence structure: It must run to completion before anything else can happen.
If you are building a state machine (typically a while loop with shift registers enclosing a case structure with one case per state) and having trouble with timing, then think about your requirements. Apparently you have some time delays, but under certain conditions you must terminate a delay/wait and do something else. One way of doing this is to have a Wait state. The wait state has a short delay, determined by the minimum time you can delay responding to a changed condition, and a check to see if the required elapsed time has occurred. If the time has not elapsed, the next state is the Wait state again. The state machine can repeat any state as often as necessary. So a 15 second delay could be implemented by going to a Wait state with a one second wait 15 times. Any error or new command will see a response in no more than one second.

Can see songs and albums in iTunes but can't play them
Recently upgraded to OS 10.8, itunes 11.1.2, and OS7 on ipad and iphone. I noticed only purchased songs were showing up now on OS7 devices and trying a variety of settings in tunes sync (sync all songs, sync only checked ones, etc) still wouldn't send over my privately owned (copied from my own CDs) songs.
Then in itunes on Mac, tried to play a song. The album icon and song list are all there, but no song plays when clicking.
My itunes folder is on an external drive. All song and albums are there when I look in finder window. The library is correctly addressed in itunes preferences. I consolidated the library.
In all cases, it looks like all songs are there in itunes, but nothing plays, and nothing syncs over to ipad or ipone. Any ideas?Hey pvolker!
I have an article here that can guide you on some steps for troubleshooting that I believe will resolve this issue:

I do not have the 'Advanced' tab on the menu bar. I am trying to change ringtone on my iphone 4s. Have done the following: Right cick on song, entered the start and stop times, but unable to proceed as need 'Advanced' tab in order to change to option.
You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes. iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums. Why? I have tried everything.
If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.

Can't purchase and download app songs and albums..
When ever I have to put my password in to buy download an app, purchase a song and album a please try again or unable to purchase/download the app or song pops up every time. The other day I pre-order an album and the error message came up but it said I already purchase the songs you were able to buy but it's not in music folder. Anyone experience this before this error message?

How do I stop Genius from recommending songs and albums that are already in my iTunes music library?
With greater and greater frequency, Genius is recommending songs and albums that are already in my music library. Up to 80% of the recommendations!. I am hesitant to give these suggestions a thumbs down, as I like the songs (afterall, I own them) and don't want to give the impression that I don't like the artist, genre, etc. as I appreciate how Genius works, when it does work.
I have updated Genius and updated iTunes Match, to no avail.
This quirk -- recommending music already in my library -- used to be a rare event. Now, most of the recommendations I get are for music I already own.
How can I fix this?To be a little bit more accurate the said book sits in my Documents on my Macbook, purchased through iTune for free in iTunes Store>Books. I can find it with Finder on my Macbook. It says it is in my Documents but it does not appear in the Documents folder in my Dock. Great! Even the iTunes Store says it is downloaded already. And why when I search for it with Finder on my Mac and click on the result does a window open up full of comoter language? I need some help.

When I import some of my cd's they have multiple album images but have just one song from the cd because of a guest performer. How do I keep the cd from "blowing up" like this? eergh
for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer. -
i want to get old purchased songs and albums back onto my ipod. havent been connected in a couple years. old purchases have a cloud on them and wont let me access them. someone please help!
I have tried that as well. The purchased songs are not in my playlists and they are still there. I manually deleted them on the phone but the sync puts them right back on there.
I only sync playlists and they aren't on there. -
Why is iTunes automatically changing edited song and album information?
Hi guys, I've seen this question asked several times but I haven't seen an answer or advice that specifically relates to the problems I've been having with my iTunes library of late.
I've got a pretty big collection of music on iTunes - almost 1000 albums - and I'm pretty anal about the way it's stored and managed and I regularly change the song and album information to suit my own "house style". All my music was stored on a Dell laptop and was fine - I had no problems with changing and editing the information. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and shifted all the music files from the old machine onto the new one (a lengthy and frustrating process) and since then, I've had a lot of hassle in terms of amending and organising my iTunes collection. A lot of the music I've purchased from the iTunes store has reverted back to its original state, no matter how many times I've changed it.
For example:
Lana Del Rey's Born to Die (Deluxe Version). I've removed the "Deluxe Version" from the title but I quit iTunes or sync it with my iPod, it automatically adds it back. I've changed the information in the song info, I've even changed it in the sort info just to be sure, but it always changes back.
The same with the Anthems Electronic 80s compilation. I want to call it Ministry of Sound: Electronic 80s and remove it from Various Artists (by deleting the album artist from the information). But after iTunes is quit or its been synced, the same thing happens. It appears as two albums on my iPod - a handful of tracks appear under the old title while the bulk of them appear under the new one.
It's happening across loads of albums, all ones I've downloaded (the stuff ripped from CDs seems to be okay). I've done as much as I can in terms of the song info but no matter what I do, it just reverts back when the programme's quit or I sync my iPod. I don't know if it's anything to do with the fact they're in the Cloud or they've been imported from a Dell laptop or there's an underlying problem with iTunes (a couple of posts elsewhere on this forum suggest it might be the case) but it's really frustrating.
I apologise for the length of my post but I wanted to be as thorough as possible to outline the problem. If anyone's in a position to offer me any advice, I'd be hugely grateful!A handful of others have complained about this recently. Seems to happen to iTunes Store purchases only. Somehow they are connecting back to the Store and refreshing label information. There may be a solution but few seem to try experimenting with settings to see if something stops it.
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.
Until then send feedback to Apple:

Hi, I'm pretty new to itunes. I bought a song and it downloaded, but will only play the first 3 seconds? Any idea how I get it to play the rest of the tune?
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
