itunes wont inport anythig it show listings but comes up with error ocurred while converting (song title ) the required file cannot be found using windows 8
iTunes cannot convert protected WMA tracks. There may also be problems if it can't get full access permissions. What exactly are you trying to do when the error occurs?

ITunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54)
For the past month or so I've been unable to sync it with iTunes. When I do, it starts but after a few hundred songs, I get the error that "itunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54). When I click OK, it then says "synching" but nothing is actually happening, and the only way to even get my browser working again is to restart my pc. I have deleted the song in question, but it will just do it again with a different song. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to the most recent version, reset the iPod Touch numerous times, As well as deleting the iTunes files off of my computer and reloading all the muisc to it. To make things more interesting, it does all of this on my laptop pc as well as my desktop. Now. all of this may have started before upgrading the software, but that was the last time in months that I tried to sync it, so there may or not be a correlatoin there.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.Try:

Hello I am trying to use the "Download Perviously Purchased" feature on iTunes. When I go to download the songs that are not in my library that I downloaded on a different computer with my same apple ID is states ""Song title" cannot be downloaded becuase it was not purchased with your apple ID"
I did purchase it with my exact apple ID and it even asked to make sure that my account info was correct which it was. How do i solve this problem??There are a lot of reports of people having this problem (including me). The Apple iTunes store has been having other issues as well (some speculate it might be related to the recent Lion release).
You could open a case with Apple, or you could just wait it out. I'm sure Apple is in the process of fixing it since this seems to be hitting a lot of users. -
Vicious MPD widget not displaying the artist and song title
EDIT: This thread can be closed now. It turns out Clementine doesn't support mpd and I'm now running ncmpcpp and the widget shows the artist and song title.
I have trouble getting the mpd widget running in awesome wm, it will only display "N/A - N/A". I've read the wiki and done a lot of googling but I can't figure out what I'm missing.

If the songs were purchased from itunes, I suggest that you delete the tracks from your itunes library and move to trash (providing you live in a country that permits redownloading). See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

ITunes is changing song titles and artists
iTunes appears to be infrequently and randomly changing the artist and song title tags of music in my library. I usually just put my music on random shuffle, so it can take me a long time to actually identify errors -- like when I listen to music from a particular artist, or when I happen to glance at iTunes when a song iTunes has mis-re-named is playing. So far, the errors seem to confined within single albums at a time, but that might just be because of the circumstances of me identifying the errors.
In the first case I noticed a while back, an album with six songs had their titles all jumbled up. Each song was titled with an incorrect song title from the same album. The artist, album, and genre tags all remained correct. In the most recent case, two songs from a compilation album had their artist and song title tags overwritten with the info from a third track on the same album (so I ended up with three songs with the same title and artist).
Any idea what might be causing this apart from a crappy coding?ed2345 wrote:
If iTunes and WMP are referencing the same copy of the MP3, then a tag change in one will be reflected in the other. If that is not what you want, you will need separate copies of the song.
Being picky, iTunes will write it's changes to the tag immediately (unless the file is locked as read-only) whereas WMP may choose to do it at some later point in time unless you use an option to "Apply media information changes". WMP will generally notice automatically that another appliation has modified the tag and updates it's library accordingly whereas iTunes only spots the change if it accesses the tag for some reason.
If you want WMP & iTunes to play nicely together you are best off disabling the WMP options for "Rearrange music in the rip folder..." and "Automatic media information update..." (you can still do so manually). I also find it best to change the WMP rip folder to the same as the iTunes Music folder. Letting iTunes "Keep the music folder organised" is a matter of choice (I choose not) but at least WMP can cope if your files get shuffled around by iTunes whereas the reverse is not the case.

Batch rename specific song titles in iTunes
Hi,
I'm thinking about writing a program that will go through my iTunes library to (1) find all songs with a specific characteristic and then (2) append a prefix to those song titles.
For instance, I have a bunch of tracks with general title:
artist_album_version_track_123456
and I would like to append a single string to each track title, so I get something like:
MyString_artist_album_version_track_123456.
In other words, one track title may be something like : Coldplay_Yellow_Parachutes_349203. So, there are three strings (with underscores), followed by a six digit integer.
I would like to append something to the beginning of all the tracks that end in a six digit integer. So, in the last example, the program would take that title and change it to something like:
Zweit234_Coldplay_Yellow_Parachutes_349203
In particular, I only want to append one string to the beginning of the track title, so the string DOES NOT change with the track title. In the above case, all track titles would have Zweit234_ appended to them.
The reason I need to automate this task is because I have about 80,000+ tracks to rename.
Ideally, I can create an executable script that the user runs and the entire process is completed, without any additional user interaction.
I'm looking into ways to interact with iTunes data using AppleScript and Java, but I was hoping someone might have some ideas or, at least, be able to point me in the right direction.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks!Hi red_menace,
Your last post really helped and I was hoping you could help with another question I have. I used your script to output the data to a text file and then wrote something in java to sort the items I wanted. So now I have a text file with all the tracks that I would like to change that looks like:
Track1
Track2
Track3
Track4
Track5
etc...
Now, I wrote an AppleScript that will append something to the prefix of my song name, but I'm not sure how to run through the names that I have in the text file. I've tried changing the text file into a list and then saying something like:
set listOfTracks to {}
set Tracks to paragraphs of (read POSIX file "filepath")
repeat with nextLine in Tracks
if length of nextLine is greater than 0 then
copy nextLine to end of listOfTracks
end if
end repeat
tell application "iTunes"
set sel to listOfTracks
-- Rest of Code --
end tell
My script actually doesn't pop up any errors, but it also doesn't work. I've tried looking into finding the location of each of the tracks and then making a playlist with those tracks, and then just changing everything in the playlist, but that hasn't really gone that well either.
So, my question is: How can I create a playlist in AppleScript using the tracks listed in a text file?
My attempts so far have really fallen flat.
I would really appreciate your help! -

this usually happens when a user moves or deletes files in the finder - a sure way to upset iTunes.
did you move or delete files in the finder ?
I cannot locate the song.
if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?
if the files are really gone, and have been purchased from the iTunes store, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store. -
Hi All
I wonder is there a tool on that can be used to search for art work based on artist and song title rather that album.
Surly there must be something out there that can do this rather simple task, or is it that simple!
ThanksI too have the exact same problem. It appears to be an error in the RSS feed generated by iWeb.
I found a link in the XML file for the "background" artwork from the iWeb template I chose to use. I replaced that line of code with location of the artwork I want to appear on iTunes Music Store.

Alas to no avail. Despite repeatedly pinging the Music Store it persists in using the background graphic even though the RSS feed no longer contains a link to that file.
All attempts to contact Apple about this have gone unanswered.
HELP. -
When I load a CD into Itunes, it searches for the song titles but comes back with "CDDB error HTTP processing error". I tried the fix suggested by Apple but no luck. Any ideas what I have to do? Running Window XP with Qwest DSL service.
Thanks in advance.
Windows XP Qwest DSLYes it happens with any CD. I have accessed Gracenote and I can find that they have the album on file. I also am using a router, Linksystem. I have turned off the firewall and that did not help.

Some iTunes Match songs have errors
I'm matching my music collection to use it with others iDevices, and I just find out that some songs (like "Star Sail" from The Verve) have errors.
Have it ever happened to you?You can delete a song off of your phone by swiping to the left on the songs title. A red delete button will show up and then press the delete button. After this you'll see a cloud icon that you can push to redowload the songs.
Also, have you tried hard resetting your device?
Sometimes that helps free things up that get glitched. I don't have the paticular answer to your problem because I have not experienced it yet. I know sometimes things take a minute to start to play but that is with match turned on and it is having to dowload the file.
If you turn match off on your device it takes a minute to take everything that was not dowloaded off your device too.
If you turn match off on your device sometimes the best thing to do is plug it into itunes on your computer and resync it with your computer. -
Cannot download iTunes Match songs - Getting error (8364)
My iTunes completed the Match process.
Generally, I have two kinds of songs with a cloud icon:
Songs that I had previously purchased, but were currently not in my library in any form. (No MP3 or AAC version.)
If I click on the cloud icon, these songs download just fine.
Songs that I had previously purchased, but were in my library in another form. (Usually as an MP3 - I had converted it to MP3 or ripped it from somewhere.)
The MP3 version will show as "Matched" and I will have an iCloud version right below it that shows with a iCloud icon and it has a status of "Purchased". But when I click on the iCloud, I get "There was a problem downloading [Whatever the song title is] An unknown error occured (8364). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
If I try to click the same iCloud icon again, I get "There was a problem downloading [Whatever the song title is]. An unknown error occured (-50). Please check that the network connection is active and try again."
I can immediately go an download a song that fits case 1 above and it works fine.
I tried deleting the MP3 versions from my library first, and that didn't do anything. I get the same error.
iTunes Match isn't going to be all that useful if all my iCloud music isn't going to be able to be downloaded.
I also tried turning iTunes Match off and on again, and I tried restarting the computer too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!I'm encountering the same problem, and related issues. One Allan Parsons song I purchased ("Damned if I Do" from the Eve album) was listed twice after Match completed, with two different lengths and two albums listed. Prior to running iTunes Match I only had one copy of it, so something is very broken in Apple land.

Languages: Some song titles do not show up on iPod menus
Hi,
I have a few Thai CDs that I have uploaded to my iPod. Unfortunately, the song titles that are using Thai script do not show up in the iPod lists (they show as blank). Is there any way to correct this problem short of translating the names to English in iTunes (the Thai names display correctly in iTunes)?
Thanks,
RobertThe iPod does not yet support Thai (look at the tech specs). However some people have put together a hack, check here for info:

My songs are in my iTunes library but the song titles do not show up on the songs list.
I have an older generation iPod nano, do I need to go back to an older version of iTunes so I can see the song titles on the song list? If so, does anyone have a link to the oder verson?
Does anyone know of an audio CD burner that will consistently label the original information?
Audio CDs do NOT have info except for CD-TEXT, no matter which program you use.
The Redbook audio CD standard does not allow for anything except CD-TEXT.
iTunes will write CD-TEXT but it will not read CD-TEXT.
You can burn data CDs and all the info will be retained and can be played in iTunes. -
I recently burned a CD with iTunes using the "include CD text" option. However, the only iTunes where the song titles show is the computer the CD was created on. Can anyone tell me why this is the case? If this is a quirk with iTunes, I will have to create my CDs using another program.

iTunes can write CD Text, but cannot read it. You can find a list of ripping tools that will read CD Text here.
If you don't have time to read the list, here is a summary: almost all ripping tools can read CD Text except iTunes.
