Song modifications bug since iTunes 11.0.1

Hello,
Since I updated to iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows I have a very annoying bug, that didn't occur in the 11 version. When I am in the "Albums" viewing mode any modification to a song via the "Get Info" option doesn't appear before I click on a different album or click on the same album twice, to close and re-open the view.
The same goes for checking/unchecking songs. If I unckeck a song it won't show up greyed out until I close the album list and re-open it. This is very annoying when listening to a new album and checking/unchecking songs, no way to know if I already checked/unchecked a song unless I get out and back on that album.
I don't have to stop the song or start another one, it seems more like a graphical bug then a info change one, the change is registered but not on the screen until I "refresh" it by closing and opening it again.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks for reading.

If you right mouse click on the greyed out song and select Check Selection from the bottom of the list all will be well. iTunes does not play unchecked songs

  • Songs load slow since iTunes 9 update

    Hi,
    All of my music is stored on a 1TB external drive via USB 2.0.
    My songs have played perfectly in previous versions, albeit a little bit of lag compared to the local HDD, but still good. Ever since iTunes 9 songs of even 3 minute duration take a good 4-5 seconds to start playing.
    Quite annoying, anyone else with this issue?

    This is such depressing news - I just downloaded 9.0 hoping it would run faster, not slower! It's definitely down to the size of the library and processor speed.
    I have a 1TB external drive filled with music, and it's not really possible to load more than half of that into the library without serious performance problems. On my older Powerbook G4 which I (try to) use as a media machine, plugged into the amp/tv, it's not possible to load more than about 150MB without painful pauses when trying to select and play tracks.
    As someone who's always trusted Apple to get things right, this is so confusing and frustrating.
    If there's any solution for dealing with large libraries in the pipeline I'd love to hear of it.

  • Defective Song Tracks Since iTunes 10.5 (also, recently purchased songs/albums are not showing up in purchased area for redownload purposes)

    Last night I purchased the new Coldplay album from the iTunes store on my PC (as opposed to the iPad or iPhone). 2 of the 14 song files are defective (my bad ones are tracks 2 and 3). Those two play music for about the first 20 or 30 seconds of the track and then skip immediately to the next track. I had the same problem last week with two other albums I purchased from the iTunes store (also on my PC like last night). In those cases, I simply went to the "Purchased" quick link area and found everything I had just purchased. I deleted the defective files and then redownloaded them without a hitch. The replaced files now play fine.
    However, the Coldplay album does not show up in my "Purchased" section (not last night or this morning when I rechecked). I am unable to redownload the defective files. I am doubly disturbed by this. For one, I have never had defective music downloads up until iTunes 10.5 and now I've had them on the three albums I've downloaded since. Two, now the "redownload music from the iCloud" function is not working for the most recent purchases. Perhaps this is true of all music purchased from iTunes over the past few days for everybody? Most people are probably mentioning Coldplay here on the boards because it's the hot new album. Note that this apparently is not affecting iOS apps, because my recent (within 24 hours) apps do show up in the purchased area.
    It's very frustrating, because I want to sync this new Coldplay album with my iPhone so I can listen to it and I hate to have to transfer an incomplete album to it. My OCD-like nature gets to me sometimes. Part of me wants to just repurchase the two defective song files and hope that Apple won't charge me twice.

    LOL!!! I had checked iTunes before writing this and the music was not there. I check after writing and now it has shown up. It took iTunes about 12 hours to do it though.
    Last week, the music I purchased showed up immediately.
    I guess iTunes is just not working as effeciently as it did last week. Could still be a bug or maybe just swamped servers? However, the problem that is most annoying to me right now is that all the music I have downloaded since iTunes 10.5 has contained defective tracks that needed to be redownloaded. I do not recall that ever occuring before.

  • Some songs don't sync in one smartlist (possible BUG of itunes)

    Hi,
    I have one smartlist with 200 songs in itunes. After I sync with my iphone and the same smartlist have 190 songs inside the phone.
    The files listen ok in itunes and in the iphone (in other lists).
    Can be a bug of itunes? Is not the first time that this success me.
    Please, help! I don't know what I can do!
    Thank you!
    PS sorry for my poor english, I'm spanish speker.

    I checked "Match only checked items" in smartlist and "Sync only checked songs and videos" in iphone menu. However the problem persist.
    I discovered what is the problem. The problem arises when you use the "comment" tag in the SmartList. In other SmartList that do not use the "comment" tag this problem does not happen.
    One way to fix this is to delete the album and then add it again to itunes:
    1) delete the album that gives you problems with SmartList
    2) sync iphone
    3) add the album again.
    4) sync iphone again.
    5) Now the SmartList that uses the "comment" tag appear correctly on the smartlist in iphone.
    And I insist that the SmartList in itunes always go well, it's just on the phone where don't work anytimes!
    Incredible. I hope that apple will solve this bug. Besides, this does not happen with all the albums, only with some albums! So I have to watch each SmartList in iphone that the sync run well.
    ahh what a horror! I have hundreds of lists!! I'll go crazy!

  • When selecting a song to play in iTunes, I get an error message indicating the song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it.  I have no idea where to look since the library hold all my files.

    When selecting a song to play from iTunes library, I continually get an error message indicating the original file could not be found.  Then asks, would you like to locate it?  Does anyone know how to fix this?   I'm not even able to play the songs I purchased due to this error message.  Any ideas how to remedy this problem? 
    Thanks

    It would help to have more background about your iTunes collection such as if you keep it on an external drive, or if you have moved or renamed anything recently.  iTunes is very sensitive to you renaming or moving files or folders involved with your media.  iTunes only keeps a reference to where a media file is located  and then goes to look for it when you try to play it. If you have changed things since it was added to itunes then it's like me sending you to look for a friend in my addressbook but that friend has moved.
    The other possibility is your computer is starting to lose files.  Again, the computer uses a reference database to tell it where on the drive to look for a file. If that database gets corrupt then it starts losing files.  Use Dsk Utility's first aid to verify your hard drive.

  • HT203167 I have a "!" next to most of my songs and it can not locate it.  Is there anything I can do?  It has been since ITunes updated.

    Since ITunes updated, most of my songs in the library have a "!" next to it and they are unable to be located.  They are not in my recycle bin and I do not have a back-up.  Is there anything I can do to get them back in my library?  They are not purchased, so I can't get them back from what I have read.

    Is the media still on the computer?
    If it is, simply point iTunes to where the media is.
    If it is not and the content was acquired from iTunes, simply download it again.

  • Since the latest ITunes update, I cannot find all the CD songs I converted to ITunes.  All it shows are the songs I purchased.

    Since the latest ITunes update I cannot find all the CD songs I had converted into playlists.  All I can find are the songs I bought on ITunes.

    Hello jerryfromil,
    I've found an article that may help get your content back into iTunes.
    No content shows up in iTunes after updating

  • I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the song. a

    I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the songs. I don't remember that password and when I use my present Apple id and password it doesn't authorize the computer to play those songs. How do I get these songs authorized since there are a lot of them?

    Purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

  • I have ipod/itunes on two computers and two user names. The desktop has my old songs, I have since gotten a laptop and have built my music collection on it. I want to share my most current music on my laptop with my old computer, which is outdated.

    How do I clean up two user names and share most current music on laptop with the older computer and out of date ipod music. I have to do this carefully, so I don't lose the most current music library on the laptop?

    If those older shuffles work and have the songs on them...
    For songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use iTunes to transfer from iPod to computer.  The command (in the current version of iTunes) is at
    iTunes Menu Bar -> File -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases from [name of iPod]
    However, you may need to have your current computer authorized with the Apple ID (iTunes Store account) used to make the purchase.  If you do not, the purchases from that Apple ID may not transfer.
    There are third-party methods and utiltiies (not using iTunes) to transfer song files from iPod to computer.  These should not care about Apple ID or that a particular song was purchased from iTunes Store or not.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files from the two older shuffles are transferred to your computer, you can add those songs to your iTunes library.  Then, sync your 4th gen shuffle from the "consolidated" iTunes library.

  • WARNING - Bug in iTunes 7.2 - Will No Longer Load All MP3s Into 60GB iPod

    I upgraded my iTunes to version 7.2. Unfortunately, iTunes refuses to load 101 mp3 songs that formerly played on my iPod Video 60 GB onto my iPod. These were songs that I purchased from iTunes in the last year, burned to a CD and then ripped back into unprotected MP3 format. iTunes gives me an error message that states that these MP3s are in a format this not readable by the iPod.
    I did a restore of the iPod, but this did not fix the problem.

    This is a very strange bug.
    To be more precise:
    I have a 17" Mac iSight G5 (1.9 GHz) with OS 10.4.9 installed.
    This morning I upgraded from iTunes 7.1 to iTunes 7.2. After I upgraded, I went to sync my 5th generation 60GB Video iPod (firmware 1.2.1) and it would not import 101 mp3s (encoded in iTunes at 192kbs). All of the 101 songs play correctly in iTunes and continue to synch correctly with my Apple TV. Furthermore, all of my other mp3s and protected AAC songs synched correctly with the 60GB Video iPod.
    I restarted the computer and restored the iPod, but neither fixed the problem.
    The 101 songs all were protected AAC songs that I purchased from iTunes, burned onto a CD and then ripped back into iTunes. The songs were purchased from iTunes between 2004 and 2007.
    I have had iTunes on Mac OS X since 2002 and have not had any prior problems with iTunes. My computer has no haxies, hardware or software modifications.
    I have 116 GB of movies, television shows and music in iTunes which we sync with our Apple TV and 60GB iPod.
    I have e-mailed Roy at Apple a description of the problem and a screenshot of the error message.

  • How do i bring my songs to a different itunes account in my name from my fathers itunes library?

    i have bought all my songs on my dads itunes since i was a kid and have other 600. now that im going to college i am getting my own laptop and own itunes account. how do i transfer all my songs to my new itunes account?

    Tim,
    Unfortunately, any content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently associated with the account from which it was purchased, and Apple does not provide any way to change it.  I suppose you could try a special request to iTunes Customer Service;  no harm in asking.
    If what you are talking about is only songs, just make copies and add them to your own iTunes library on your own new laptop.  Except for older (purchased before mid 2009) DRM-encumbered tracks, they will play fine.

  • ITunes 10.6.1.7 -  The Track Number of any song i play in iTunes is being erased! PLEASE HELP!

    Hi!
    I'm experiencing a very weird bug in iTunes 10.6.7 (64-bit) - on Windows 7. What happens?
    With some of the songs, when I use my Left Mouse Button to double-click the song (to play it!) in the music library (in iTunes of course), the song loses the meta-data of the total number of tracks.
    The setup of my iTunes is as follows:
    Each of my songs are part of different albums, so that means that every song has meta-data of the total number of tracks of the album its part of.
    Every song in my music library has been converted by iTunes (so they all have the same specs).Here are those specs:
    (Forgive me if I use different words for the technical terms, I'm working with an iTunes in my own native language so I don't know all the english equivalent words.)
    Type: MPEG-audiofile
    Bitspeed: 320 kbps
    Samplefrequence: 44,100 kHz
    Categorization: MPEG-1, Layer 3
    Channels: Joint Stereo
    ID3-tag: v2.3
    The following spec is the only thing I can think of that is significantly different between the songs that could be the cause of the bug.
    Here is the information on this specific spec of one of the songs which has this problem:
    Coded with: iTunes 10.6.0.40
    My question is: is there anyone who experiences the same problem with this version of iTunes? Were you able to fix it? Or any advice?
    Thank you for your time!

    Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes. 

  • Help needed, various bugs in itunes and with my ipod

    Hello, I thought this would be the best board to post this since the problem is mainly associated with itunes. Simply, my itunes library has been erased completely including songs purchased from the itunes store. However, for those who think they may be able to help me, I will give some more details.
    I am sorry for the amount of text, however I feel it is better to give all details now than have to keep answering questions. Please bear with me, this problem has caused me a lot of inconvenience, and I would love to get it fixed.
    1 week ago I followed a link from youtube to purchase a song from the itunes store. I trust this link to be reliable in the sense it had no viruses or the like. However, upon doing this, the itunes configuration that appears when you first install itunes. I followed the prompts to agree to the terms and conditions for itunes (from my memory, I was not particularly concentrating at this time). Then the wizard closed and itunes popped up. My library was completely empty. I closed itunes and reopened it, library still empty. I restarted my computer, same again. I then spent a while trying to add my music back to itunes, however lots was not on my hard drive anymore.
    I then tried using a utility I found online to extract songs off my ipod to my computer, as my ipod had all the songs from my library that I wanted back. This worked partially, because of the effectiveness of the program.
    I then tried to use an old library file as advised to based on a basic google search. This restored lots of the files, all sorted, as they were not sorted when I got them off the ipod. However, lots of the files now come up with an exclamation mark next to the name, indicating the file cannot be found. I have searched for these files, and they are nowhere on my hard drive or recycle bin.
    Now, I was annoyed and inconvenienced by this greatly however I still had all my music on my ipod.
    Then my ipod (second gen. ipod touch) crashed. The music presumably became unreadable or corrupted because the ipod showed no music on it. I had to restore the factory settings on my ipod, and now I have lost a lot of my music. I have tried to restore from one of the backups itunes created, however this did not restore my music, in fact, I don't know what it did.
    So in summary, I have lost a lot of the music which I bought off the itunes store. This is greatly distrissing. Additionally, my ipod will not sync all the time now, with an error stating "the disc is unreadable" or words to that effect. I would really like to get my music back, and it would take a very long time to list all these songs in an email to apple asking for free redownload of these songs I already purchased. I would like to know if there is any way to get my songs back, explanation of what happened, how I can prevent this, any advice really. I understand I should have made a backup on another computer or external hard drive, however I believed that the 'backup' of the songs all on my ipod would be suffiencient. Please help if you can, I have already spent about 7 hours searching and working to fix this problem. It would be so very much appreciated.

    When I imported the files the first time I did type the new genre in the genre field of the info box. You can either choose a pre defined genre or type a new one. As soon as a new one was entered it is available in the drop down for any future imports.
    I have around 15000 songs assigned to the different genres. For only a couple of 100 I have the problem which I described.

  • How to recover song that are "lost", itunes can't find them even though I have downloaded and played them before

    Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
    I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
    On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes.  I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them.  BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory......  Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipod

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.
