Trouble with itunes library

My itunes library got erased for some reason after I either started Genious or burned a cd into my library, how do I transfer songs from my ipod back into the library so I can update my ipod without losing everything?

In iTunes, pick one of the Music Videos. Do a Get Info on the track. Under one of the tabs you have a pull down for Video type and the choices are Movie, TV Show, and Music Video (I think those are right, going off my memory). Select Music Video and OK out of the Get Info screen. Resync your iPod and see if it shows up where you want it.
Unfortunately I don't think you can make this change to a bunch of videos at the same time like you can with other tag info, so you will have to do it one track at a time.

  • Having trouble with Itunes Library

    When I load a CD in my Itunes to import in my library, the track numbers are not in order. When I click on the CD name, the tracks are in thier correct numerial order. Also in the library, the songs and the tracks are not in one box. For example, there may be only one track in one box, and only 2 tracks in another, and 3 in another box and so on and so fourth. I have tried deleting the tracks and starting over, but the same darn thing happens again and again. I even tried going into preferences and changing the order to "groupings" instead of shuffle. No luck. I even tried changing the codes. No luck. I am at a loss at these technoligical contraptions lol ! Also, when I try to get artwork for some of the CDs, Itunes has some of them, but not all of them for example, I clicked "Advance" to get the art work for one of Barry Manilow's current CDs, and it does'nt show up in the box next to the track! I mean, I find it hard to believe that Itunes does'nt have "Manilow Scores" CD picture! (That's what I was looking for!) I appreciate any help yous can give me here. I spent all day uploading CDs and they were in order when I uploaded them, but all of a sudden, they get out of order and scrambled in different areas in the library! I appreciate any help you Apple egg heads out there can give me. Thanks PS I will check back for any ideas

    I did what you said and STILL NOTHING!!! AUGH!!!! When I went back into Itunes, the songs came back to my libray the same way BEFORE I deleted them yesterday!!!! What's happening is that when I go into my Itunes Library and click MUSIC, the songs and track numbers, and copies of the album artwork are scattered all over in the boxes or sections : (The divided secitons in the library where EACH CD, Track number, and songs ARE suppossed to be in that one section and IN ORDER!) This is NOT happening! AUGH!!! Thanks for your help anyways. I appreciate it! I am going to search my computer and see if there are anymore duplicates of these files, if so, I can delete them.

  • I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.

    I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.   When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del.   When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway.   I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
    This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
    Cheers for now,

  • I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. when I open up itunes, it seems to just sit there, never going to itunes store. when I connect my ipad, I check update and it starts, but then I get this message:backup can't be saved on

    I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.

    I am having trouble with Itunes registering the MP4 video that has been converted.  Help!

    What do you mean by iTunes registering the mp4?
    Which iTunes, on iPad, iTunes is a Store and it won't take your .mp4.
    On pc, check if it supports the mp4 (there are a number of different mp4 format) you have converted.
    Can you import it to computer iTunes?

    having trouble with iTunes playing on my phone...how do I adujust playlist from playing same song over and over...driving me crazy!....

    Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song.  It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white.  It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

  • Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  Thanks.

    Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Remote app on iphone with Itunes library / Erratic connection problems.

    I have been using Remote app on my Iphone to manage Itunes for months with 100% pleasure and 0 trouble.
    For a few days, it has some erratic behaviour like having difficulties to connect to my Itunes library.
    In such case if I touch the Change Library button on Iphone remote screen, it connects quite instantly...
    I have a simple wifi network generated by my adsl box and a single computer.
    The remote setting option "stay connected" on Iphone is On.
    Generally when I get connected if I quit remote on Iphone and restart it within a minut it will find the library in a jiffy most of times ... but sometimes not.
    I disabled firewall : no change.
    I scratched all remotes in Itunes and paired the Iphone again : no change.
    Does anyone with some idea ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jean.

    Almost the same issue here. And this only started yesterday.
    Initially iTunes would not pair at all, but I went into add/remove programs (Win 7 PC) and ran a repair on Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, and iTunes. I did not remove or reinstall any of these applications.
    After this my iPhone remote app would be found by iTunes, the passcode accepted, plus the library showed up. I thought I'd cracked it...
    But after a few minutes - usually when the screensaver kicks in on my PC - my iPhone loses connection to my library and WILL NOT reconnect unless I restart iTunes.
    I have to say that over the years the remote App is without doubt THE most buggy, inconsistent and erratic piece of software I have ever used. If there was a decent alternative I'd have ditched it a long time ago.
    Looking forward to a solution from one of the experts here (not expecting Apple themselves to even respond!).

  • Cover Art Problems with iTunes Library on a NAS

    I have my iTunes library stored on a Synology NAS.  I use a networked Mac Mini as a dedicated iTunes player, I set it up so the Mac Mini finds my iTunes library on the NAS.  The cover art for all of my movies that I ripped from my home DVD collection shows up fine in iTunes.  But the cover art for movies that I downloaded from iTunes does not show up, either in iTunes on my Mac Mini, or on my AppleTV (2nd Gen).  I suspect the problem comes from the fact that I keep the iTunes library in a separate place (on the NAS) rather than on the computer that runs iTunes.  Is there a fix to this?

    I'm having troubles with my Itunes in combination with the synology server as well...
    I'm getting audio from the server, all of this is working great.... But I'm not getting any cover art! I'm also not getting the optn to view the info of tracks. This is all working when I'm listing to track placed on my Mac in stead of the server.
    Could you help me setting up de synology? Is there any structure neccesary on the server? Could you send me a screen grab of yours?
