Update song titles in ipod

Hi I just got my 30gig video ipod. Some of my songs say track 6 or do not have the artist. When looking in itunes they say the same. Is there a way to get the names and artist for all my songs in library?

I have a question for you. I have done this on several songs that have had the wrong band name or the band name was in the song title.
These songs were previously sinked to my ipod (its the 30gig color one that shows movie moddle). Now when I sink it I can't find these songs when I go to say look under all songs for a band. If it helps I believe the ones that don't work the band already had songs with the right name in it.
Do I just have to clear my ipod and let it resink all the songs (which would take some time I believe) or is there a solution to get them to show. Thanks.

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

"Update Songs on'my ipod'"

I chose "update songs on 'my ipod'" and it erased all the songs I had on my ipod and copied the limited amount of songs I had in my library on that computer. What gives? I am not happy about this. Is there any way to get them back on my ipod? there were songs on the ipod that I didn't have on my computer.
What the ****?
Thanks for your help,
Jay

By selecting that option you automatically synced your iPod with your iTunes library.
The songs on your iPod will have been erased and replaced with the contents of the iTunes library you just synced with.
That's the way auto sync works. Unless you have a back up someplace, the songs on your iPod are gone.

My iPod Touch Gen 4 Vers. 6.1.6 Won't Update Song Titles, Artists

Product: iPod Touch 64gb
Product Version: 6.1.6
iTunes Version: 11.2.2.3
- Should be latest version, but I can't find "About iTunes" so I took this version from my Control Panel
Windows OS: Windows 8.1
I recently reformatted my iPod and have downloaded a bunch of songs. I have edited the song titles and artists within iTunes. I then synced my iPod Touch, but it kept the file titles for some reason. I've clicked "Get Info" on a file that I know that I changed the title on and it doesn't show anything bizarre. It says the proper title and artist as I had changed them.
I've deleted everything on my iPod already and tried to resync, but it keeps syncing the same titles. Nothing is greyed out from what I can see either. In the "What's on my iPod" tab (my iTunes is in French, so bare with the translation) it shows the correct names but on my iPod it does not show that name; it shows the file name.
Taking all that into account, how do I sync songs with the correct titles and artist namas as shown in iTunes?
Thanks!

Oh, OK. Not too concerned that it'd warrant another restore, but I'll stick around to see if it gets fixed in a newer iTunes version maybe. I had looked here and on Google for answers but didn't see anything really specific to my model, and a lot of people aren't even able to sync at all, so lucky I can at least get songs on it!

Exclaimation point beside song titles of ipod library!

recently my ipod will not play any of the songs on it, and if i try to play those songs using itunes, an exclaimation point shows up beside the song title... what does this mean?

I have always been able to play the songs from off my ipod using itunes. I have taken all my song files from off of my computer and onto an external hard drive, but this was some time ago and i have never had a problem... i manage all my music manually so my ipod has never tried to automatically update based on the few songs that i do keep on my computer...

Updating Song in my iPod

Dear All,
I face a problem while connecting my ipod to two different pc .It deletes all the previous library an replaces with new library.there is no other option to choose! Any way out ?
Also can any one tell m how one can stop playing a song? Thes is only one option and that is resuming!!
Best regards,
Saba

You'll have to set up the iPod to manual update.
Connect the iPod to the first computer.
In iTunes, select Preferences, then choose iPod.
Select "manually manage songs and playlists"
Now you can add music from any computer without losing the songs already on the iPod.
There is no "stop" on the iPod-->only Pause.

How do I set iTunes to manually update songs without connecting iPod first?

Hi. I just got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. The User Guide says that when you connect the iPod, iTunes automatically updates all songs in your iTunes and deletes songs that are not in iTunes. As far as I can see by reading the User's Guide, iPod has to be connected to change the setting to "manual update". I already have an iPod with songs in it that are not on the iTunes that I just downloaded. I'm afraid that if I connect my iPod, it will erase the songs already in my iPod because of the default "automatic update" setting. Does anyone know how I can change the setting to "manual update" BEFORE I connect the iPod to the computer?
Thanks for your help!

there are some other ways, please read if you are interested

Why can't i update songs to my ipod and playlists?

So the other day i decide to add a few songs ripped from cds i purchased over the new year. I loaded them onto itunes and plugged my ipod into the docking bay. My ipod freezes. i go to this site and think i know what i am doing after reading people answers to similiar queries. I first reset my ipod then I restore the factory settings and download the new ipod updater. plug my ipod back into the docking bay. a few songs get onto my ipod but then it says complete you can remove your ipod, except there are about 2000 songs missing. I go through the process again restoring the factory settings. Now my ipod shows up on my hard drive and in itunes. but it will not let me update my ipod. the choice from the drop down menu does not light up. So i figure out how to manually load them but all my playlists that i have created over the last two years will not transfer. i have never had a complaint or a problem with my ipod. but now it is usesless because i have so much music on it with out playlists it is a waste. Does anyone know what is going on. I have a lot of live music from jam bands that my friends tape and convert to mp3 format, all legal sharing like phish. Does the new updater install a filter that has automatically assumed that i stole them and prevent them from transferring? Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? I am going nuts trying to figure it out.
thanks

I went through the whole process again. i removed all of itunes and ipod software from my computer and installed the original from the disc that came with the original purchase, pluged it into the dock and when it said i needed to update my ipod software i said no. it seems to be working. but i bet the next time i load more songs on a later date i will run into the same problems. The problem seems to be with the new updater 2006-01-10. now that i have figured out the problem i am going to load the new software to my ipod after all my songs are there and see what happens. wish me luck.

Updating song info from iPod to iTunes Library

I've got an iPod Video 60GB. I manually control the content on my iPod and iTunes. I listen to my iPod at work all the time and rarely listen to music on my computer. How do I get iTunes to update my Library with the play count, song rating, and last played data from my iPod?

To move your library see this migrate iTunes library post.
If it is only the media on the external drive see Make a split library portable.
You should make your edits in iTunes, and backup the library against problems.
Automatic syncing is generally easier, but if you edit in iTunes and then drag & drop updated files to the device, the updated files should replace the originals. Dragging songs the other way is not supported.
If you want to try extracting the updated tracks from your device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Help - problem updating songs on my iPod

I've been deleting old podcasts from iTunes and replacing them with new ones. However, even though the folder with the podcasts on both iTunes and my iPod after being updated showed only the current podcasts, it wasn't physically erasing the old ones from the iPod, so end result is that I maxed out on capacity. So, I used Windows to delete all the song files on the iPod. After that, I tried to update my iPod, and I got a message saying "Update is complete" even though no songs have in fact been transferred to the iPod. How can I make iTunes actually put the songs and podcasts back onto my iPod?

Anyone? I can't use my iPod! Help!!

Update Song Names to Ipod-Not Manually!

I want iTunes to Update my iPod song names automatically when I update my iTunes Library, do they have that??

Not sure what you are asking but if you make any changes to the songs in iTunes (names/genre etc), then those changes are updated to your iPod when next you connect it to iTunes.
Provided of course you have automatic sync selected for your iPod.

Using I-Tunes to automactially update song titles

Hi on Widows media playing theres an option you can click to get unlabeled songs (track 1) to go on the internet and automactially find the title and band.
Is it possible to do this on i-tunes or do i have to type in the title names manually ?

If you're importing from a commercial CD, iTunes will automatically fetch the album information if your system is connected to the Internet while the import is happening. If you can't be connected to the Internet when you import, you can use the "Get CD Track Names" command later when you can connect your system.
If you're copying in individual files from another source, then iTunes has no built-in way of getting the track information. There may be third-party utilities that can help fetch track info, though.

Itunes fails to update songs in my ipod when syncing.

What can I do? This is really frustrating, because sometimes it works and then when I get almost to the end of filling up my device, everything freezes and stops syncing.
I have a real nice Acer ultrabook with windows 8.1 64 bit, it runs really good with pretty much everything, no problems whatsoever.
I also have the latest version of Itunes with almost 80 gb of music transfered from my old laptop. The thing is, when I plug in my ipod classic 160 gb, everything seems fine, the program runs good, and when I try to grab and release an album or artist, it all gets slow and the syncing process never ends. Earlier today I tried restoring my ipod, and everything ran pretty good until I got to artists with letter "Q" when it froze and till now cant get those last gigs into my device.
If anyone knows how could I fix this, I would be endlessly grateful to you.
Thanks for listening.

I have this problem since IOS 7

Updating songs on IPod in Windows and CPU usage

Whever i update songs on my ipod, iTunes will use lots of CPU. I do not have a problem with this as i have a dual core system that can handle the load, the problem is that when i switch away to another application iTunes will suddenly decide to idle and reduces it's cpu usage and the speed at which it encodes/transfers.
I'm guessing this is to increase respsonsivness so that you can use your computer but it makes the transfer horribly slow.
So, my question is how do i make iTunes use more CPU when it's not the foreground window? Is there a way?
Dual Core 2.66Mhz Pentium D Windows XP Pro

When you bring another application to the front of iTunes while it is updating, it will reduce the cpu usage of itself. Load up task manager and see for yourself. Normally when iTunes is the foreground window it will use 70%-80% of the CPU for encoding. Now this isn't a problem, i have a dual core CPU so iTunes can use all the cpu it wants and it won't lag the rest of the computer ( even if i do play games)
My problem occurs when i want to switch away from iTunes and browse the web while waiting for it to update, when i do this it takes forever to update the iPod because iTunes has gone into low priority mode and only uses about 5% CPU, I want to know if there is a way to "PREVENT" iTunes into going into this "IDLE" mode and instead use as much CPU as it wants on one core, because i don't want to have to set it up and walk away for an hour.
I suppose this is really a developer issue, in that they have not used proper multi-threading to take advantage of dual core CPU's. Still an option to disable the low priority mode would be nice.
