Tags won't update

Hello,
I'm a DJ and I use Traktor as my DJ software and iTunes to manage my MP3 collection.
Sometimes when I update a genre i Traktor, iTunes won't update the tag. Sometimes it does. I checked the file in another software, and the change is there, but not in iTunes.
I downloaded a script called "Refresh", but it won't work. I removed the track and re:added it. Same problem.
This happens every 20 MP3s or so, but it's a major problem because I use Smart Playlists and want that genre change to be updated.
Please help me with this problem!

I know I could always rip them back to my computer and then use a seperate program, but I'd like to fix this problem because it's easier in iTunes
Any reason you do not keep your music in iTunes and update it there?
What will you do when your iPod crashes (it will) and you need to Restore it, therefore deleting everything on it?
I used to be able to update genre tags, however it won't allow me
No idea. Can't say I have seen this before.

Is there a reason why my ID3 tags won't update in the artist view in the music app?

I've never had a problem with messing with them manually in itunes before until iOS 5. For example, I don't like to see an artist repeated in the artist list, so I go through and edit all the songs at one to make sure that artist appears only once. I've tried doing it with the new OS but nothing updates. It's even gone so far as to completely omit any new artists that I have added. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Any other reason why this it's still under headphone mode?
I'm pretty sure the fact that it was in the washer is the problem. Just because you 'dried' it in the sun doesn't mean it wasn't permanenlty damaged. Try putting it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. If it still doesn't work, it's probably permanent.

Mediasource won't update ID3 tags!

"Mediasource won't update ID3 tags!? Please help! I have been using Mediasource 5 over the years to painstakingly get my mp3 library organized just the way I want it. I know that the Media Source track info is not necessarily the same as what's stored in the ID3 tag of the files themselves. I am trying to update the ID3 tags so that the info matches what is in Media Source. The good news is, I can right click on my database in CMS and there is an option to "Update Track Properties". Within this window are two options: one to update the ID3 tags to match MediaSource, and another to update MediaSource to match the ID3 tags.
So far so good, here's the problem. No matter which option you choose, it always does the latter of updating MediaSource to match the ID3 tags. ARGHH!! I've tried this over and over, trying both options, but no matter what I do, it's always copying in the wrong direction. That goodness I had backed up my database before doing it. I've tried both CMS 5.0.38 and the newer 5.20.23 but both have the same issue.
So is there any way to get Mediasource to take it's data and copy it over the ID3 tag data? Anyone know of a patch or other software that read the CMS database file and do this?

Under "Audio CD", check "Include CD Text"

CD-TEXT only allows capable audio players (portable CD players, certain car stereo CD players, etc.) to scroll that information across its display as the track is playing.
For other people's iTunes to be able to retrieve the track listing, it has to be first uploaded into Gracenote's database, once Gracenote processes the information.

Podcast metadata and show information just won't update

The metadata and show information for my current podcast simply won't update on iTunes. Information such as author, category, subtitle won't up and as of this week the number of included episodes won't change no matter what changes we make from within our Wordpress site or directly to our feed. Can anyone spot what we might be doing wrong? Has anyone encountered this issue before?
We've were new and noteworthy in Comedy for two months, which was great... but we're not actually that funny!
Thanks a lot!
Feed: http://oddpodcast.com/feed/podcast
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-odditorium/id961676664?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3 D4

In fact the Store is using the feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/oddpodcast/yItF
This matches what's in the Store and when subscribing - the main Description on the Store page is drawn fro the 'itunes:summary' tag and matches it. The same ten episodes which are in this feed appear in the Store. The feed at the URL you quote has one further episode, earlier than the others at January 23rd, so its not being in the Feedburner feed may be something to do with the Feedburner settings limiting the number of episodes. Otherwise the feeds seem to be identical (I haven't checked them in detail) and match what's in the Store.
If something isn't matching your expectations please describe exactly what it is.

I had to change my FeedBurner links and now my podcasts won't update

I have six podcasts on iTunes right now. I recently had to change the Feed address on FeedBurner for four of them and now I don't know how to change the Feed that the podcasts update from. So I have four podcasts that won't update. Any idea how to change the source Feed of a podcast while still keeping the same iTunes everything.

Without more information one can only comment quite generally. The usual method is that people create the podcast in a program or online service, producing a feed which they then submit to Feedburner. From this, Feedburner creates its own version of the feed, adding some extra tags, and this is then submitted to the iTunes Store. As far as the Store is concerned the Feedburner feed is the podcast feed.
You can change the feed from which Feedburner works in Feedburner, but I can't advise on specifics - you would need to look in Feedburner's Help for that. Doing this doesn't affect the Feedburner feed as far as the Store is concerned.
If you want to move the Store to using a different Feedburner feed you need to follow the proces described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
You do not need to do this if you are only changing the feed Feedburner works from.

My feed won't update

I changed my feed url and put a tag in the xml - I made a mistake with the tag but corrected it and its now ok but iTunes seems to be ignoring it - its a week since I corrected the tag and it won't update - I've verified the feed and pinged it many times but no luck - what can I do? The podcast is Green News in 1 - the old feed is http://www.doubleyew.com/greenpodcast.xml
The new feed is http://www.greenstuff.net/greenpodcast.xml
Thanks

You have two errors in your feed. Firstly, the 'guid' tag for episode 412 is the same as the one for episode 413 - iTunes uses these tags to determine whether there is a new episode and does no show episodes with a 'guid' tag the same as one which has already been posted.
More seriously, iTunes cannot read your feed at all. Your 'itunes:summary' tag for episode 411 reads:
<itunes:summary>Tracks de A.G., Toteking & Shotta con Big Hozone, Smooth Da Hustler ...(etc)
You cannot have an ampersand ('&') by itself in an XML feed because it is used to indicate the start of a code sequence which in this case is never completer, thus wrecking the entire feed.
You need to replace it either with the word 'and' or the code
&
There are a number of other instances of isolated ampersands. Some of these go back a long way - has your feed ever worked for subscribing? I would expected it not to have as a result. The Store doesn' seem thrown by this but the iTunes application evidently is.
The Store is not showing episodes 412 as I explained; there appears to be no episode 413; episode 415 was posted only two days ago and though it usually takes 1-2 days for a new episode to appear in the Store it can take longer. The Store may get round to showing episode 415 eventually as it doesn't seem thrown by the ampersands, but you need to go through the feed and remove them so that your feed can be subscribed to. You should subscribe yourself to check it works (it's a good idea to do this after each new episode anyway to make sure there isn't a problem).

Template "main.dwt" won't update template pages

Hi there,
I'm super new to dreamweaver and I'm having a problem at the minute with the template. I've got my pages, etc, but I need to apply my logo image in the header sector and also an anchor link at the bottom and top of the main content body. So, my biggest problem really is that when I click the line, which highlight's the header, and make it into a "New Editable Region" and name it, like, "banner_image" or whatever and put my banner in there, and then click "Save All"; nothing happens.
I mean, it's worked before but I don't understand why it won't update my other pages into editable regions so I can add the banner to all pages. I would've tried to add it in manually, but stupid me, I realised that the headers weren't editable, still.
And I can't even update anything on the template page, really. I was wondering if there was a solution to this maybe?
I'm using CS4 at college, but I've been coming home at working at it on my laptop (both macs) with CS6.
Please help, I spent around five hours this morning in class pulling out my hair because my div tags were all over the shop. Boo!
Thanks,
Andrew!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for the quick respones! Honestly, I only used them because we were told to by our lecturer, which now I'm second guessing. Just for clarification, you would use Editable Regions on the child pages (i.e. not the template)? Here's the html

Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this
dell inspiron Windows XP

Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

Certain apps won't update or download on any device.

I've searched for two weeks to no avail. I've seen similar problems posted but nothing quite like this. I have an iPhone 5s iOS 8.2, a 4th Gen iPad iOS 8.2 and Mac Mini Late 2014 OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. It all started with wanted to download the Pages app. My iPad is old enough it wouldn't let me download it for free so I initiated the download on my iPhone and then promptly cancelled. I then tried to download Pages from "the cloud" onto my iPad. It downloaded 3/4 of the way and failed stated that the app could not be downloaded at this time with two options to continue: done and retry. And now there are a handful of apps that will fail somewhere in the download and some apps that are already installed on the devices that won't update. Any app that has previously failed WILL download over cellular network on the iPhone 5s. I've tried four separate location with WIFI access and these same apps will not download. I've cleared network statistics, restored the iPhone to factory defaults, changed Apple ID password, tried a different Apple ID, and trying to download apps on Mac Mini to sync to iPhone/iPad over tethered connection. The only partial fix I have discovered is to start download over cellular network and switch to WIFI download. Please... any ideas. I feel I may have left out some steps I might have taken so please feel free to ask any questions.

I had this problem and solved it by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Note: This will not delete any apps, songs, videos, or podcasts from your phone. It will only reset your wallpapers, brightness, bluetooth, contact sorting, network preferences (still remembers networks though), etc. It's a bit annoying to go update all these back to how yo like, but much less annoying than a full restore.
DO NOT press Erase All Content and Settings. This will delete everything and you'll have to restore from iTunes.

IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

HELP!
I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010. From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it. After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy. I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
        (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder. When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
        photos.
4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
5.     Programs won't update. They will download onto my iMac but won't update. Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
        Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns. Skype won't open just gives a failure
        report.
6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something. Or I have something malicious on my computer.
I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive. A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
Thanks so much.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

I have changed the I phone 5 twice both times like for like & still problem is they're
Please can anyone advise or help
Very much appreciated

If you are using the same apple id on other devices and each of the other devices are updating the same apps sucessfully then you have an issue going on with the device being what's known as being a bit 'glitchy' What I would suggest you do is first to shut down the device completely by simply pressing on the sleep wake button, (power button on the top) for a period of 5-6 seconds untill you get the message to slide bar to shut down. Once the device is shut down and the wheel has stopped spinning, you are then free to restart the device.
Once the device is restarted then please go to settings>itunes and app store Once at this area of settings you can then click on the apple id is showing there you then can click on the apple id going to where it reads sign out, Once you've signed out go right back to that same area and sign back in with the same apple id.
What this is doing is simply logging you out and then back in with the same device.
Good luck Friend.

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

My Apple TV won't update and I can't sign into iTunes

I have the second generation Apple TV which is due an upgrade of software but it won't update. I kept getting a message saying that it wouldn't work. It also won't sign me in to iTunes and Netflix never works. Not sure of this has anything to do with not being able to upgrade. Can someone help?

We had this problem and a restart fixed it.

IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
Any ideas?

Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.
