Why can''t I change the album or artist on my Ipod?

After I just recently updated my Ipod whenever I add a song but I want to change the artist or album it allows me to on Itunes but it stays the same on my Ipod. How can I fix this?

Try deleting or unsyncing the song(s) from the iPod and resyncing.
Next would be a restore from backup
Your problem is not uncommon after the update to iOS 5.

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

    Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
    iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups. 
    Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
    The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad.  (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
    I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone.  You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
    Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

    iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
    Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

  • Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

    Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
    Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
    I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
    I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

    That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:

    show_supported_trans_levels( dmd );
    int status = con.getTransactionIsolation();
    System.out.print( "1. " );

    con.setTransactionIsolation( Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE );

    However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:

    To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    You can change the setting, you may need to click the lock at the bottom of the preference pane. Be careful what you download and install, Gatekeeper is there to help you. OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support

  • Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

    Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

    Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
    When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

  • Why can't I change the names of my states in my symbol?

    For some reason, Fireworks won't let me change the names of my states in my symbol.
    I double click on the state name in the states panel, and nothing happens.
    It works fine for normal "non-symbol" pages.
    Can you normally change the names of states in symbols?
    Any ideas why I am having difficulty doing so?

    Thank you SO much! Funny thing, I didn't even notice the tiny folder icon at the top of the info window until I saw it in the screen shot at the beginning of that article. 
    See, I have begun changing the icons of the folders of digital scrapbooking alphabets I have (screenshot below). Now it will be so much easier to scroll through my hundreds of alphas and choose one, because I can SEE them without going in and out of each folder.
    A million thank yous!!!!! 

  • Why can't I change the genre on the new iTunes

    I wish to change the genre of a song on the new iTunes.  I right click on the song go to details, write in the genre and then click on OK and yet nothing changes.  So how can I effectively change the genre of a song?

    I found out that in order to have iTunes accept changes, I must first go into Windows Explorer to the music file under properties, in the General tab, then uncheck in Attributes the read only box. Then iTunes accepts the changes.
    Thank you and have a great day!
