When I load a cd into my computer it does not show the album name or the song names. Does anyone know what I ma doing wrong

1. Insert an audio CD into your computer.
2. If your computer is connected to the Internet, iTunes will automatically display the album title and all track names (if the album is listed in the Gracenote CD database).

  • Song Name Field Not Showing up when Ipod connected to ITunes

    I have one of the first IPOD's (15GB). When connected to ITunes and I click on music to see my whole list, it does not display the "song names". I've been through all the help screens, and they say to "check mark" the song name field. When you bring that up, there is NO choice for song name field. My wife also has the same IPOD and it displays the song names just fine...also without an available choice for song name. I have found a work around and that is bringing up the Get Info on a song and copying the name over to the "sort name" field, which there is a choice to display that. However typing this on every song is way to long as I have 3,000 songs in there. Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    That's what I thought also, but when expanding the window, it still doesn't show. However on 2 older playlists, when I first got it, the name column shows, but not on the "master list" of all songs, and also not on new playlists.
    When I connect my wifes IPOD, same one, it shows up on every playlist and the master. I have had this issue for about 2 years through different Itunes versions. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that when I first got the IPOD I used "music match" instead of Itunes? Or it could just be an issue with the IPOD. I've resisted doing a restore and wiping everything out as I've switched desktop computers and quite a few of those songs are not on my hard drive. I can work around it, but it's a hassle.
    I just figured out how to make the song name show, but using the "sort name" field, but now I'm wondering if there is a way to copy the name to the sort name field in a mass conversion instead of doing it one by one.

  • Podcast name is not showing up in itunes

    The name of my podcast is no longer showing up in iTunes. Is there a fix for this?

    You can change the title in the same place in whatever method you use to create your feed as you entered the original title, and then republish the feed - provided that doing so does not change the feed filename: doing so woud cause the Store to lose contact with it.
    As to the image, if this is a new submission it can take quite a few days for the image to show.
    It's not really possible to comment any further unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page - this latter can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image (or where it should be) - and choosing 'Copy link'.  Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

  • Some of the Artist names are not showing up in iTunes or my iPod

    I have a couple of songs by Yanni on iTunes and my iPod Video (5th Generation). The songs are listed and so are the albums, but the artist name is not. I tried retyping the artist's name but that didn't work.

  • Airport express name change, not showing properly in iTunes

    I needed to swap the location of two Airport Express units, and I renamed them accordingly. They show up properly within Airport Utility/OS X, but within iTunes they seem to be cached to their old names. How do I reset them, flush the cache, or simply get them to show properly within iTunes?

    I had the same problem and finally worked it out!
    Go to the _AirPort Utility_, click on the *Airport Express*, click the *Manual Setup* button and click on the Music icon at the top. You'll see the "iTunes Speaker Name", which relates to the name in iTunes...

  • Song information will not show up on ITunes

    I've played a bunch of tracks on my 2nd Gen Ipod Shuffle and when I reconnected to my computer, the only tracks that showed up as being played were ones from earlier this afternoon (about 7 of them)
    I was trying yesterday to make seperate playlists for my ITunes collection (my roommate and I both use the same computer so we keep all of our songs in the same collection) could that have something to do with what's going on now?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

  • Ipod songs ratings are not showing in Itunes (manually managed)

    Hello,
    Ipod songs ratings are not showing in Itunes, however I can see the ratings in my iPod Touch 4 (that is manually managed). I have an iPod 3 an it works. Why?
    I don't want to sync anything, I'm looking the songs that are in the iPod through iTunes and the rating information is missing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi SU
    Hope this helps.
    When I connect my iPod touch to iTunes on my PC - under library there is a Music folder and under iPod there is a Music folder. Which music folder isn't showing the track rating?
    If the Library Music folder isn't showing ratings then see A) Updating Ratings in Library Music
    If the iPod Music folder isn't showing ratings then see B) Seeing Ratings in iPod Music
    I have 20000 tracks in iTunes and 5000 tracks on my iPod which I am rating as a listen to them. 1000 have ratings 4000 have none.
    A) Updating Ratings in Library Music
    This is on a PC. When you manually manage music on your iPod the ratings you assign on your iPod aren't automatically synced to iTunes but it is easy to do it manually and only takes a few minutes.
    1) in iTunes on a PC click Music under iPOD, sort your tracks by the Rating column and select 5 star tracks.
    2) Click File > New Playlist From Selection and call it 5 STAR. This creates a new playlist on your iPod.
    3) Right click the 5 STAR playlist and click Export. I save the playlist export file to my Desktop.
    4) Click File > Library > Import Playlist > navigate to the location you exported the playlist to (in my case Desktop), select 5 STAR and import. You may get a warning saying some tracks don't exist, you get this if you change track info in your iTunes library, it'll omit these tracks from the playlist your creating. 5 STAR playlist will appear under iTunes Playlists.
    5) Select 5 STAR under iTunes Playlists and you will see your 5 star tracks from your iPod but the Rating will be blank. Select all tracks, right click, select Rating and then *****. All the tracks will now be rated 5 star.
    6) Right click iTunes Playlist 5 STAR and select Delete, this won't delete your tracks.
    7) Right click iPOD Playlist 5 STAR and select Delete, this won't delete your tracks.
    8) You can repeat this process with your 4 star stracks then 3 star, etc.
    9) an optional step. Once I've rated my tracks I delete them from my iPod.
    I do this process every few weeks when I've got a reasonable batch of tracks to update ratings in iTunes.
    B) Seeing Ratings in iPod Music
    In iTunes iPod Music my tracks are sorted by rating and I mistakenly thought the rating column is blank. I clicked on the Name column to resort and saw some of the tracks had ratings. I then noticed that when I clicked on iPod music it didn't display tracks from the top of the list (my 5 star tracks) which I expected but half way down (0 star tracks) which is why I thought there was a problem. So now when I look at my iPod music in iTunes I scroll up the list to check they are showing ratings before doing A) above.
    Regards

  • I can no longer play my music from iTunes on my computer.  i get the error prompt: The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  What do I do?

    not sure what to add other than to repeat myself.  ive lost ability to play music from my iTunes library on my computer.  Everything is there but i get an error message that says '"The song (name) could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?   Then it gives me the option to locate or cancel.  i can't do that for 3800 songs!!  i have all my music in separate folders by album and all individual selections in an external hard drive.  i can play from there but thats clicking on one number at a time.  i lost my capability in the process of Microsoft correcting a problem with my outlook program.  Why, i haven't a clue.   help!!

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it now?"  It happens on all my tunes and each one I select ends up with a "?"

    I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it now?"  It happens on each tune I select and a "?" appears beside the song.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.
