The song and artist name on my itunes is different to what it is on my iphone.

Ever since I've updated to the new itunes, I've encountered an annoying problem. When I change the song name by right-clicking on the song and clicking 'get info' and changing it that way, the changes don't apply to my iphone. Why is this?

You have skype or anything? Easier to chat and explain lol. Ill try my best tho. Pretty much for the songs that are not working for you,remove(delete) from iphone-music. Make sure to then file add to libary select the songs, then go to the very top right "Library" below says music, click it, which then find the songs you just readded, right click get info, change the artist name, song name etc. What ever you need changed, then apply(ok), select the file(s) drag to the iphone/ipod - music. Should appear on iphone as it does on itunes.

I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

Is there a way to increase the font size for the "songs" and "artists" lists in the new music app for iPad 2 (iOS 5)? It is too small for me.

It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
To turn Zoom on or off got to:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
_To Zoom in or out_:
Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
_Move around the screen_:
When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
_Large Text_:
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
Best wishes..

A response on this subject from another post:
It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

I had an earlier post on this subject with a similar problem. I tried what you suggested and it worked indeed. You can select the artists from your Ipod on Itunes and after highlighting the artists/albums affected, click NO on the compilation box and the issue is resolved: the artists appear on the list.
Thank you so much!!!!.

Importing Text file in to iTunes with song and artist names

A friend made a compilation CD for me. He exported the artist and song names in to a text file from iTunes. I am having trouble importing the information in to my itunes. The people at the apple store said that it was not possible and that I would have to import his whole iTunes library.
Thanks.

I was in Country Genre and after trying to update album names and artist iTunes changed A LOT of the albums and artist names in that genre to the same one! How Do I make everything go back to normal?

Take My Nashille Album, Which had the right Album name and right artitsts is now "American Ride" By Tobey Keith!!! And there are many more like that!

Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

How to include artworks and artist name onto download playlists to a usb key

Hi!
I used the "COPY/PASTE" function of WINDOWS to copy ITUNES PLAYLISTs onto a USB key to be used in my car. All the songs play well and the display shows the titles. However, the display does not show the ARTWORKS and artist name.
Is there a way to display this information with the new version of ITUNES. With my older version, I used to see all this info.
Thank-You,
Michel

Are these WAV files?
WAV does not use ID3 tags to store info.

Song and Artist display differently in landscape mode (iPod on iPhone)

I have a CD Compilation *50 Best Songs Ever*. When I play any song from this Compilation on my iPhone, if I turn the phone to landscape mode the Artist defaults back to the Artist on the 1st track, but if I turn the phone back to upright mode the Artist shows correctly.
This is a CD Compilation of various artists, and the only one it seems to happen to.
Any thoughts?

No, the OP is correct, there is some sort of funky bug here. I have noticed it too. To the extent that it is almost comical. In portrait view the song/artist/album artist/album art are all correct; then switch to landscape view and you get a comical mix of songs from different artists, wrong album art (from first one in list) and the name of the song and artist are wrong, and inconsistent with what is playing. Rotate back to portrait view and all is good again.
It is at best a minor inconvenience, and I love my shuffle anyhow, so the randomness of it is sort of fun/funny.
But it is definitely a bug.

Why is the music I drag from itunes displaying different on my ipod/phone? For example, Artist: Beyonce, Song: 1 1, Album:4 (in iTunes); my ipod/phone shows the artist as blank, but the song and album remain. It does this for numerous songs.

Sometimes if I change the info for a song in itunes, it will show on my ipod that I never changed it. Its so frustrating because it unorganizes my music on my device. Someone Help!!! PLease!!

Since there were only 8 songs left on the iPod i could just do a 'hold and slide my finger' motion on the name of the song and there would be a delete option. Did that to all the songs and re-synced th ipod again to the computer, this time checking the 'sync music' box. It worked. I dont know if this is only available for iPod touch or for other iPod's as well

Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Song and Albums Synch, but Unable to Find Song Under Artist Name

I have a 20GB vidoe iPod. All my songs from my online library, which I purchased on Itunes, synch to my iPod. However, I cannot locate a song under the Artist category, because the Artist name is not listed. I can find, however, the song if I search for the Album or the Song name itself. So, in a nut shell, the songs are on my iPod, but the Artist name is not listed for that song. Help.

Can't update the info for my music (e.g., artist names, ratings) on iTunes anymore.

I used to be able to update the info for my music (e.g., artist names, ratings) via iTunes, but it doesn't work anymore. In the past I'd change it in the music tab underneath my phone's tab. Using one band as an example, it's all spelled exactly the same on my computer in both music tabs (under my phone and on my computer), but it has various spellings still on my phone. Also, when I rate a song on my phone, it no longer shows when I plug into iTunes. I rate songs 1 star if I want to delete them later but it just doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

I agree that it should work. But for some reason it does not.
Suggestions here -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/
However, I don't understand why you want to keep songs with incorrect info and then correct them on the phone every time you add them to the phone. Most people would want to do it one time.
