Where did my song titles go?

I recently burned a playlist of christmas songs, some songs imported from CD's, other songs downloaded. I burnt the CD as an audio CD. A couple of days later, I popped the CD into my computer and none of the information for the CD appeared nor did the title of the CD, which just appeared as Audio CD. iTunes attempted to get the info from CDDB. I don't think it should do this since the CD was burned using a playlist in iTunes. B.T.W. I've burnt several CD's this way and this used to work. As a matter of fact, of the 4 different playlists I burned onto CDs, one of the CDs does have the correct track information and title.
Does anyone know how to put in the track information automatically, from the playlist it was burned from? It's a real drag having to manually type in the information when I insert the burned CD.

No luck yet. Mainly I've been retyping the file names in manually. I do have an old backup on a firewire drive that runs iTunes 6.0.5 that I was thinking of running it to see if insertion of the CD burned with 6.0.5 has it track information come up.
I believe that this is yet another in the long line of bugs present in iTunes 7. Usually, Apple has a good track record with new releases and their updates. With the problems that I've had with iTunes 7 on both Window and Mac computers, I beginning to think the software guys at Apple have lost their edge.
I have a similar problem in the latest version of
iTunes7 (otherwise known as the Evil Bugridden
iTunes!).
If I burn a playlist that is long enough to require
multiple cds, only the last cd to burn has the song
tiles and info. All the first cds play the songs but
only have "track 01, track 02..." If I try to "get
cd track names" for those cds iTunes says that it
does not have that information but that I can submit
the track names. But many of the songs are ones that
I bought on iTunes! so I know that iTunes has the
information.
I think it is a problem in the burning with iTunes 7
but I have no idea of the solution. Have you had any
luck?

Where Did the Song/Album Suggestions Feature Go?

what happened to the feature on the iTunes Store homepage that was in beta a few months ago that would suggest albums or songs based on your previous purchase history or library contents? my computer recently crashed so i had to upload all of my backed up music into my new iTunes library, but i assumed the feature would still be available. can someone tell me how to activate that, or did they get rid of it?

If you go to the bottom of the store page, below where you can set your store country, you will see:
Turn Just for you on/off.
At least that's the case in the UK store.
Is that want you mean, or show/hide ministore from the view menu?

Where did the songs in my Itunes library go?

I had songs in my itunes library that I have brought over from my pc. In other words, these are not songs purchased in the itunes store.
Anyway, I connected my wifes Ipod to my mac to try and add the song on my mac to her ipod. Not sure what I did but somewhere I selected add manually, then dragged and dropped the songs in the mac library to the ipod symbol.
Some songs trasferred but I got a message that over 100 songs could not be located because they were not in there original location or something to that effect.
When I finished the transfer and went back to the mac list, those 100 songs were gone. They are not in trash. They are not in the ipod. They are not in the mac i tunes library. Just gone. I've done searches using Finder but no luck. Gone.
No I don't have time capsule set up. Could never get that to find set up properly...
Any suggestions?

one last thing: I'm also getting this problem here too:

Where did the songs go?

Downloaded songs to itunes library and then clicked on them and it says" file can not be found". Try to have the files found and now they are gone alltogether.
Help please!!!

Well, im not too sure if I understand, but are you saying that when you searched for the file it got deleted? Try this:
Search for the song files on the computer to see if they're still somewhere in the computer. You know, go to the Start menu and go to Search. Type in the name, or part of the name, of one of the songs you lost and search for it. If a music file (most likelty a .m4a file if you bought it on itunes) shows up with the name of the song, right click the file, and click "Open file containing folder" and it should lead you to the rest of the files and the location of where you need to import the songs from.
That is, of course, if your using Windows... That's about all i can think of to help your problem.

Where did my songs come from?

I've just downloaded the new itunes and have acquired all these new songs (if that's what you can call them?) in my music library??? Some of them are just titles and have running time of 0:00??? How do I get rid of them?
Dallas (-:

When iTunes is first ran, it searches for any music files on your hard drive (HD) and adds them to iTunes.

IPod Nano appears on my list of iTunes devices. Summary tab shows 928 manually managed songs; music tab however shows nothing. Where did the songs go?

I recently undated software all around, reloaded windows 8 and upgraded to windows 8.1. My iPod Nano (1.0.4) appears on my list of iTunes (11.1.3) devices. The summary tab for my iPod shows 928 manually managed songs (2 of 8 GBs still empty). However, when I click on the music tab immediately to the right of the summary tab, iTunes no longer shows my songs, playlists or audio books. Instead iTunes invites me to "sync" my iPod and kiss my contents goodbye. Why won't the songs appear in iTunes anymore? My iPod still plays the songs and they appear on the tiny iPod screen. iTunes however won't show them. iTunes still allows me to drag and drop new music and books into my iPod but iTunes won't let me see the particulars. I want to delete some audio books I've finished but iTunes won't let me to them. What gives?

Thanks iPodmaven for showing me how to check the arrow to the right of the device image and convert it into a inverted triangle. Problem solved! Thanks

Where did my songs go?

I am trying to get my song library (my own CDs, albums bought from iTunes) onto a new iPod, but only about half of it (mix of iTunes and my own CDs) moved over when I synced. The rest of the songs have an exclamation point to the right of them in the iTunes library on my computer. How do I get all the songs to sync?
I have backed up iTunes, but also have gotten an error message that not all the songs were backed up.

When you try to double-click a song with an "!", does a window appear asking, "itunes cannot find the song file, would you like to find it yourself?" or something like that. Manually find the song in the path I outlined above (or wherever you moved your songs to.) Or, alternatively, try dragging n' dropping the song onto the itunes library window, see if that works.
As for transferring content from your ipod onto your itunes, there are a lot of 3rd party programs on the Net you could use, sorry, I do not have the links for them. I, myself, use Yamipod. Waitaminnit....

Where did my songs go from my cd import?

Hi,
I have just imported over 30 cds. Now when I looked at the albums in the library only some of the songs are listed, most often it's the first few tracks. I tried importing a cd again and had the same thing happen. One of the other threads suggested logging in and out, which I have tried with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.

try playing one of the missing songs in itunes for a few seconds. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, do the songs transfer to the ipod next time you sync?

Where do the song title names come from?

i just bought a cd off ebay, one which i believe was manufactured by the person who sold it to me, because i don't think the album was ever released on cd, only in mp3 form.
anyway, i put the cd in, and instead of the correct track listing coming up on itunes, each track listing had been replaced by a title which insults the artist who made the album.
i'm trying to find out if these new, insulting track names were somehow encoded by the album seller who manufactured the cd, or whether the names were encoded into itunes library of track names which were then matched up with the code of the tracks on the cd when i put it into my computer.
anyone know whats up?

For CDs, iTunes does a query to the Gracenote database to get the track info. Since Gracenote is user-updatable, somebody apparently put bogus data in for that particular CD.
To correct the info, right-click the track, Get Info, go to the Info tab and type in the correct info.

My iphone says I have 331 songs but only 139 can be played...where did the others go? How to get them back?

The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over? I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Vision M: 60GB - Dup Song Title Probl

In my music library I have some duplicate songs. Let's use "Jingle Bells" as a example. This song is in my library on the the Barbra Striesand Christmas album, Bing Crosby White Christmas album, James Taylor Christmas album and about 6 others. My library is organized by a folder for each artist, a folder for each album under the artist folder, the songs are files named in the format "track# song title.MP3". In using the MediaSource 5 song transfer facility to populate the library on the Vision:M 60GB it finds that "Jingle Bells" is "06 Jingle Bells.mp3" on 3 albums so it skips 2 of them as being du
ps.
My library is around 0,000 songs and this format has worked for everything else in the past including MediaSource which dri'ves my CL Wireless Music Adapter. It seems that the Vision:M itself has a shortcoming on the building of the library! It should use some method of cataloging (naming) the tracks on the device so that these dups can be allowed! I see this as a shortcoming of the device software. Since the device catalog is built using artist and album info it should be able to also handle these dup song titles. W3

Another problem solved. I've switched to using Windows Explorer to manage the Vision:M content. Using Explorer I can copy the folders as they exist on the PC to the Music folder on the Vision:M. Now no problems with multiple albums having dup'd song titles because they're in their own folders under the Music folder. This will hopefully help others with large music libraries where dup'd song title file names exist on multiple albums. W3

Where did these tracks come from?

I was helping a friend hook up his IPOD. His IPOD was given to him by a friend. ITUNES was already on his PC.
When I connected the IPOD, ITUNES started "converting" a bunch of songs from one format to antoher. It took so long I had to cancel it. But already there were about 10 albums that had been "converted" and now appeared in his library.
I just assumed these were songs from his IPOD. But when I browsed the IPOD using the ipod screen, it shows up empty.
(1) Where did these songs come from?
(2) How would I get the rest of the songs, wherever they are?
(NOTE FYI -- I also am having a problem updating, can't update ipod, option is greyed out. I tried "restoring" the ipod, no help. I didn't do a reset because I did't know how. I will when I return)

I'm always willing to be proven wrong, but to my understanding iTunes will under no circumstances add music from your iPod into the library on the PC. There is no supported way to move music from the iPod to the PC.
There are, however, 3rd party applications that will do this.
As for where the imported music was coming from, my guess would be an existing Mp3 or wma music collection the person had on their PC. If itunes searched the pc for music when it first was installed, and found files not in .m4a format, it would convert them and import them into the library.
What are the tracks? It could have even been importing the sample music or system sounds that come with windows, I suppose.

I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other? I have 2 of the same iPod's and logged onto both with the same as well as different apple ID's and passwords to each respective iPod and the completion of my downloaded songs has disappeared into thin air. Where did it go? How do I get the credit too re-download those songs to the correct iPod? Please help me!! [email protected]

What happens when you try to redownload them?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
On a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account>Sign in and go to purchased history and see if you actually purchased them.
Try redeeming the card again

In Pages when I click the 'Sections' button then click on the 1st page I get a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it? I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'. Rdal

Roger,
The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.
