  • Why are my artist and song titles abbreviated after using iTunes?

    Hello, this is my first post. I looked for a similar question but did not find one.
    I was given an iPod Shuffle (3rd generation), and as soon as I put my music files on itunes and sync my Shuffle, I get abbreviated song/artist titles. For example: Beatles - Let it Be becomes "XFVK".
    I had to manually go into each file on my Shuffle and reenter everything to how it should be. I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue. Is this a matter of a setting in itunes, or is it just how the shuffle works?

    I'm surprised that no one has responded to this one. I'm just asking if the abbreviated song titles that occur once the songs have gone through itunes is avoidable, or if that's how everyone has them.
    Thank you, any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Once again, the best way I can explain the symptom is:
    White Stripes - The Denial Twist becomes CFQD
    Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombone becomes FYEW
    There's no rhyme or reason, it just does it with all of my music.
    Please help!

  • I have a fourth gen iPod Shuffle and I cannot find anywhere how to manage and view songs on the ipod, in iTunes 11 there is no intuitive way to view the songs at all. I guess Jobs thought, "why would anyone want to do that..lets make it impossible"

    I have an ipod shuffle...4th gen.
    I use iTunes 11. When ipod is
    connected is shows but there is
    no intuitive way to view and manage
    songs on the product.
    under the icon is only RECENTLY PLAYED and RECENTLY ADDED.
    Click on the icon and then select music up top of the app does NOT
    show you what is in the ipod but what is stored in itunes.
    I am now thinking this was a Steve Jobs joke he played on customers.
    Does anyone know a definative way to view and manage songs or
    a third party app that permits it.?

    I hav the same problem.  When I "Control" click on the small triangle to the left, I do not get an option to pick Music.

  • How can I get song titles to appear in iTunes library when transferring songs from iPod to iTunes ?

    My old computer crashed.  Trying to recover music from iPod.  Can transfer music, but not song titles.  Titles appear in 4letter mpg formats.  What am I doing wrong?

    Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
    See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

  • PC crashes when transferring songs to ipod or using itunes..

    1) Issue: When transferring songs to IPOD through the use of a PC(itunes or real player), a blue faulty screen will eventually show with some error and then my computer restarts. I have a bout 3800 songs for a 20GB IPOD and it seems to always stop around 4G when transferring. I tried using the IPOD on another computer and it seems to be fine.
    2) Also, when I play music using iTunes, it causes the PC to crash as well, without the IPOD connected.
    During the error report, it usually says there is an error with the Hard Drive(Western Digital 250 SATA 2 hard drive; hard to use a jumper to adjust to the SATA 1 settings of this motherboards) and it couldn’t’ read it for a second. It advises to to a ScanDisk?CHKDSK run, but when I do this(during reboot), it stops in STEP 4 out of 5 at 20-30% and does nothing. Did this for 1 day! Other error reports supposedly report a faulty device driver error and advise to update drivers, but I’ve updates Apple iTunes.
    Contacted Hard Drive manufacturer, Western Digital, and they believe it is a controller device driver issue or something related. Tried updating the bios. Tried installing the VIA 4 for 1 drivers and other drivers in the Motherboards Installation CD. Running a Disk Tools before Microsoft even shows itself, reports no errors. However, when you are partially booted and the computer is scheduled to check the disk, there are errors(won’t move.) I see no update for controller device drivers
    A3) lso, if I have a USB hard drive connected to the PC(such as an IPOD or external usb hard drive), sometimes the computer switches boot devices(hard drives) and thinks that the IPOD/External Hard drive is the boot device. This is also reflected in the BIOS and the USB connected hard drive replaces my main SATA hard drive(western digital) and my computer doesn’t completely reboot unless I go under the BIOS and change it. It’s weird because I DO NOT CHANGE THE BIOS. For some reason, it changes on its own.
    I have no idea what’s going on. Please Help Me.

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I transfer a folder of songs to my itunes library and i choose to transfer them all and only a few get transfered and then the error message comes up.

  • HT203164 Artist & Song Title Missing Despite Using I-Tunes

    I have purchased music from I-Tunes on my work desktop, burned a CD, taken the disc home and placed it in my home desktop and when I-Tunes opens it won't recognize the song titles or artists even though they were purchased thru I-Tunes.  Any have a cure?

    Audio CDs don't embed that artist & song details on the disc. Even if CD Text is enabled on burning I don't know of any ripping software that reads the data and applies it to the files. If you want to move songs between computers burn a data disk, use a memory stick, or use a portable hard drive.

  • How can I remove track numbers that have appeared in front of all of my song titles, since the new iTunes update of 12?

    Windows OS 7 
    iTunes 12
    Ever since the new update with iTunes 12, all of my song titles have a track number before them.
    Is there any easy way to remove this without having to go through my entire library?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    OK, that was the wrong approach. What should have worked would have been the process described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. No doubt your songs not only start with two leading digits, but have also lost the information regarding artist, album and their actual track numbers.
    Make a strong cup of coffee/tea/your favourite beverage and review this thread: Any software that can rebuild iTunes songs lost to Unknown Artist/ Unknown Album. It should be possible to restore a pre-upgrade version of your library, the reconnect it to the files (assuming they have been moved). Please feel free to ask questions.

    I couldn't get that script program to open.   I'll just have to manually fix this mess. 
    Thanks!

  • I bought an ipd shuffle for my daughter. I have old songs from frostwire that I downloaded on the shuffle.  When I try to play the songs, I get "Please use Itunes to sync music".  What does that mean?

    I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music".  What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only?  thanks,  Jester

    Dear jester,
    Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
    You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
    I hope this help you.

  • Viewing Song Titles In the Car

    Hi. Can anyone suggest how I can burn CDs so that the song titles appear on my car radio display (which reads most CDs with text info) Thank you!

    Interesting. So even if I reimport from a CD the songs that I burned from iTunes and reimport them as MP3's, and burn again the song titles still won't come up on my new car stereo? Judy

  • How do I delete songs & podcast from iPhone using iTunes on new MacBook Pro

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro after years of using PC.
    First thing I have to say is that I love it. I've had a couple of problems here-and-there but these have been teething issues which these discussion boards have mostly helped me resolve... I have been unable to resolve this one issue though which I was hoping that someone could help me with....
         I have plugged my iPhone into my new Mac and let it appear in iTunes but when I attempt to delete old songs or podcasts from the iPhone it does not let me delete them... I've tried holding control and clicking on the items- hoping that delete would be an option, but it isn't. Also I've notice that delete is not one of my options in the edit tab at the top of iTunes.
          I understand that I can delete individual podcasts and albums/songs through the iPhone itself by swiping right and selecting delete but when I do this for All individual episodes of a podcast then the main header for the "show" still remains...
    Would love if someone could help me with this- need to be able to manage the songs and podcast on my iPhone.
    Thankyou for your time.

    "Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
    The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
    "  Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
    You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
    "And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
    I understand completely.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Song titles are not matching itunes to my ipod touch

    Ever since i updated to ios 5 my ipod has been acting up. I rename on itunes either the artist or song name and it re-names it ok on the computer. But then i go to my ipod and it didnt rename it. The song or artist says its unknown on ipod. Can anyone help plz.

    Hi,
    What is the iCloud status of these tracks?
    You can add icloud status column to song view - go to menu > view> view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been Matched, Uploaded, Purchased, Inelligible, Duplicate or Waiting.

  • How to view pix in my ipod using itunes

    how can i view pictures stored in my ipod using itunes

    You can't, iTunes is only used to set the location the photo's are loaded from, they aren't held anywhere in iTunes itself. Since they have to be on the computer anyway to load them onto the iPod you view them from the folder or album they are in or directly from the iPod screen.

  • Unable to view Songs in Content Screen in iTunes

    When I connect any Shuffle to iTunes, the Setting screen displays information accurately. However the Content screen is empty of any songs, even though the Setting screens shows that I have used up disk space for my songs. When I then try to add a new song, all the existing songs on my shuffle are erased and only the new song is now found when I play the shuffle. Why would this be happening?

    No. That is what I noticed. If they are in the library the contents of the shuffle display. When I remove them, the songs no longer display on the shuffle.
    When I use an iPod classic, I see the songs on my iPod, even though they are not in my libary. Its only in the shuffle that they seem to need to be in the library. Is this the way the shuffle works, versus the classic?

  • Load and delete single songs on iphone/ipad using itunes match iOS6

    Hi,
    in the past (iOS5) it was possible to load and delete single songs on my device additional to stream them with WLAN (the were also stored physically on my device :-(((
    with iOS6 the songs are not stored on my device via streaming :-)))) but if I want some music physically on my iOSdevice it's only possible to load the whole album and not only a single song. I don't know to delete songs/albums anyway :-(((
    Did Apple cancled this possibilties?!?!:-((((

    On my iPhone 4 using iOS 6, when I turn off iTunes Match, all the songs on the phone disappear so I can't delete them. However, when syncing with iTunes 11, it shows the songs still taking up memory. And that's with music syncing turned off. It appears that my only solution is to restore the phone. However, iTunes 11 appears to be hung now for over 15 minutes.
