Songs being replaced

Hi everyone, I have been using Itunes since 2005 and never had this kind of problem. It seems that Itunes is exchanging artists and songs, and also deleting some songs. For example when I select Layla by Eric Clapton, a song by Joss Stone starts playing instead. The tags are correct but the album artwork and the song are incorrect. Yesterday, I added an album by Lykke Li to my library, everything was perfect, correct tags, album artwork etc...When I opened itunes today one of the Lykke Li songs appeared tagged as an Smashing Pumpkins track. Even worse, the original Smashing Pumpkins track disappeared from my computer. Please help me I'm desperate.

Back everything up now if you haven't already.
I'd say use restore but I think it's too late for that to work for you.
Now that all your other music is safe you have to check what's running on your computer particularly if it can index files on its own ( a data sync program perhaps?).
It's unlikely that iTunes deleted your music but it's losing/confusing file paths and you need to find out why and another indexing/synching program is the first thing you check.
What little nuisance did HP install that you might not have activated till now ( I swear some of them are "sleepers". )?
Failing that it's an iTunes re-install but clear that up first.

Songs being uploaded to ITUNES

Appears that ITunes is uploading music that I loaded from CDs' to my Ipod to ITunes store. This takes a long time (Sometimes an hour or more) and meanwhile I am unable to play the songs being uploaded to Itunes, What do I do?

Hi,
You can tell if songs have been processed by match by adding iCloud status column to song view. To do this go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
This will tell you if the songs have been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, inelligible or waiting. What is status of missing tracks.

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

However, My carrier (orange) will b picking up my broken iPhone and I am unsure how to secure the content and icloud data on the broken phone. Is there a way to disable the data held on it and ensure that if it is fixed, nobody can use/see my data and access my account?

Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Snow Leopard HD being replaced; my files are on external HD; can I run them off of MBA Lion?

My Mac issues .... bad seagate hard drive .... , finally being replaced as of today by Apple store per the warranty. The MBA? All sorts of issues(el cheapo version--only $999 <insert evil smirk>; 2011 11-inch, measley 64G flash drive; memory keeps being eaten alive by some kind of "other" mystery files). Whatever. It's not like I'm not used to all the problems with this machine anyway ... so I'll hang on to it and try to work with it till Thursday.
I've got both of my Macs backed up on a 1T Seagate external HD. With the 27-inch Mac in the Genius Hospital getting a new hard drive, I'd like to try to do one or both of the following:
1. Work off of the iMac Snow Leopard stuff saved on the external hard drive (backed up ON the seagate external as well as on Time Machine--yes, it's journaled, whatever that means). Is that possible? There were very confusing issues with permissions that I was not able to resolve on my own before I took the Macs to the Apple store, so .... that brings me to Number 2.
2. Since the idiot MBA has to have its hard drive wiped out for a fresh install on Thursday, can I wipe it out myself, OR just access the Snow Leopard files somehow off of the Seagate external drive? But they are only backed up via Time Machine, so it's what? Impossible to work with just one file, plus I've got those issues with disk permissions.
I guess what I'm wondering is, can I use this MBA sort of as a temporary machine to run the Snow Leopard? I don't need everything off of the iMac, because I'm only talking about using it like this for today and tomorrow. I'm more than happy to wipe out the entire contents of this MBA (it's backed up on the seagate external also) and just use it as Snow Leopard until I can get the iMac back and reinstall it all on there. Is that possible?
I've googled until I'm blue in the face and my eyes have glazed over. I cannot figure it out. Obviously, this being the 11-inch MBA, there is no CD drive, so no way to boot off a Snow Leopard disk.
Anyone? Buehler? Anyone? Can I work with my own files on that external drive, even if it means I wipe out the MBA?

Can I do this?
Only if your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.4. Use the 10.4 package that shipped with it.
How?
Install it normally, considering the point above.
Snow Leopard won't let me install an older version of OS.
It's not Snow Leopard that won't let you. It's the computer itself.

Hi Tim,

Actually, i am not able to find the font name for these kind of symbols (like trade mark or Registered) and also, i am fetching the data from database and them printing on PDF (like a standard process). This trademark symbol is in database.

Punctuation sometimes being replaced with "?" when published

Hello,
Every once in a while, when a page has been updated, most of the punctuation is being replaced with question marks (?).
I've since gone in a second time and changed the question marks to the proper punctuation and the page published properly.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hello Kagan,
I noticed on both of the pages, your charset is defined as:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Please try changing it to UTF-8 and see if this resolves the problem:

I don't need to know the name of the next song being played.

Just wondering if anyone has a solutiom to this. Let's say you're listening to a song that's at the beginning of your main library in iTunes and you scroll down the list to look at other songs you have. How do you stop the screen from going back to the beginning of the list when a new song starts just so it can show you the name of the new song being played? This is a bit irritating when you're making playlists and you have a large library and you have to keep scrolling back to where you left off just because a new song started.
G5 Imac 2 GHz 512 MB Mac OS X (10.4.5) </<br>
G5 Imac 2 GHz 512 MB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I don't think there's any way to do that except pausing the song. I, too, think it's irritating. Especially when the song is shown in the display (if activated), anyway. I usually try to hit the spacebar quickly when I hear the song ending. Sorry, I can't help.

Why is the &copy_id being replaced with @id in _i_sqlplus?

I don't have much iSQL*Plus experience but I recommend using a variable name that is not an HTML entity.

ITune jumps to the song being played at the start of each song - make it st

When I'm listening and working iTunes in another section of iTunes, the display jumps to the song being played at the start of each song. I then have to find where I was working at. How do I make it stop jumping to the song being played?

Thank you but it did not work. I changed it to selected item but I still bounce back to the song being played at the beginning of each song. I find this very annoying! Thanks but it did not work.. I did not mention but I'm using iTunes 7.

I want 2 put music from cds on another ipod without the songs being in my library. Sorry it cut me off on the title. I want to import songs to put on my brother's ipod, but when I try to delete the song from my library it deletes it from his too. Help?

If you want to delete content from your computer but keep it on the iPod (so that is not deleted next time you connect it to iTunes), you need to set that iPod to manage the iPod content manually.

My late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive just failed and is being replaced. It did not qualify for call back but I am wondering if there is others with similar issue

As I stated my late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive failed and is being replaced.. I am being charged as machine does not qualify for the call back program..call backs are on 2011 machines.. However i am in shock that my segate internal iMac hard drive failed in less than two years.. are there others with similar issue? Also when I get machine back will new hard drive be stable .. How do I make sure my working environment is reliable.. I have all my data and work backed up and will be able to rebuild my system but I really do not want to have to go through this down the line again.

Just to update everyone and maybe help people down the road .... It has been a week of **** .... I may have finally solved a problem that I have seen a ton of people in all different types of discussions around the world having trouble with ...... I am going to upload some pictures of what I was getting in the beginning and it came out of no where .... I had the random pixel problem with my display and to make a long story short I came across an article two days ago regarding internal temperatures and fan speed ...... I kept reading about apples approach which is not the point ..... More importantly I dug deeper into temperature control and fan settings .... I discovered all kinds of software and there is only one in my eyes that can help anyone dealing with this display problem .... I will be honest, I do not have the money right now for anything extra and am barely getting by and that is why I kept at it ... I figured keep trying different things because a repair is out of the question ... http://www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control - This program has solved my problem - I get to adjust three internal temperatures inside my Imac and slowly but surely as the temperatures remained constant the display is fine .... Like new again .... I cant believe it ..... Turns out the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB graphics card gets very hot causing it to not do what it is supposed to ..... Anyone that has any questions do not hesitate to contact me ...... I am going to upload some pics .... They are not that clear but if you are going through this you will recognize the images for sure - There was so many more variations but this should help out - Thanks to everyone that takes the time out to help people on this support site .... I want to send a shout out to The Art Of Sound .... He is the most knowledgeable Apple person I have ever come across and I am an Apple user for 20+ years
