Wrong track information & artwork on iPhone with playlist on shuffle

I’ve just got a new iPhone 3GS and have noticed that when I play music in a playlist on shuffle, I occasionally get the wrong artwork and track information being displayed.
That is, “Track A” is playing… but the iPhone display shows the artwork and track information for a different track - “Track B”.
However if I select “Track A” directly by its Artist or Album, the correct artwork and track information is displayed… it only seems to happen when a track is played on shuffle.
I’ve deleted by iTunes database and reimported my iTunes library file and deleted and restored all music on the iPhone but the problem still occurs.
It is possible there could be some corruption in the iTunes library… but I’ve got 5+ years worth of track ratings and play counts that I want to keep. Anyone know how I can delete the library, add all the tracks back, but retain information like the ratings and playcounts? Or any other ideas?

I'm having exactly the same issue since launch of the 3GS.
Did you ever get to the bottom of it?
Thanks
Jim

    wrong remove information macbookpro from iphon finder , what can i do?

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

    After ios6 update, I have lost all control of audio via Bluetooth, plus my Bluetooth car radio is no longer displaying track information from the iPhone. Help!

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • Importing the wrong track information...

    hi,
    i have 2 cds that im trying to import. my issue is when i 1st imported them, i choose the wrong version of the single or album.
    i have deleted the tracks that were imported, as they were diffrent to the actual track listings for the cd's i have.
    i now want to import the correct track listing. but when i try to import again, it imports the previous selction i had made. how can i change this to the correct track listing??
    Thanks

    You will have to do it manually. That information gets downloaded manually and as far as I know, you cannot reset the data to re-ask the CDDB once you select an album.

  • Track Or report Stolen iPhone with IMEI or model

    My iPhone was stolen. It had no SIM card, but I have both the IMEI and Model #. Is there anything i can do? Should i contact Apple or AT&T?
    thanks

    Sorry, there is no way to track your phone. Apple can't/won't help you, however, AT&T will Blacklist the phone...meaning it can't be activated for service in the US, but they will not track it without a court order to do so.
    So, report the loss to the police, your Insurance company & request that AT&T Blacklist it.
    Change all of your passwords if you had any data on the phone.

  • Problem Syncing iPhone with iMac

    Hello,
    My iPhone has been working and syncing (with new iMac) just fine - until tonight. I plug in iPhone. It shows up in iTunes. I have Automatic sync checked. But, within less than a minute, I receive this error message:
    "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone [name] because the iPhone disconnected"
    I also get same error message when I click "Sync" button in lower right of iTunes window. Obviously, I did not disconnect the phone as the error message alleges.
    I have rebooted computer. I have recycled iPhone (top right switch off, then on). I have changed iPhone cord plugged in back of iMac screen. I have ejected iPhone, removed plug and reestablished connection.
    I need to sync my contacts from iMac Address Book. Can someone please identify the problem and solution?
    Thank you,
    Dale
    Note: The iPhone was updated several days ago to 1.1.3. Syncs have taken place successfully SINCE the upgrade prior to tonight.

    With your iPhone connected and available with iTunes, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences under replace information on this phone, select Contacts and then sync. This will replace all contact information on your iPhone with what is available in the Address Book application.

  • Syncing iPhone with Outlook 2007 after hard drive crash.

    I recently had a hard drive crash.  We were able to retrieve the .pst files for Outlook 2007 and I sync my iPhone with Outlook for contacts, calendar and such for business.  The iPhone of course, was not affected.  I downloaded iTunes on the new hard drive, and backed up the phone.  (I sync music and apps on my husband's laptop.) 
    Now, in trying to sync, though, I get a lot of nebulous messages that really don't explain what the outcome will be. 
    Box says:
    The information on the iPhone "Susan's iPhone" is synced with another user account.  Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
    (Choices:  "Merge Info mergest th einformation on this iPhone with the information from this user account.  OR "Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.  )
    My best guess would be 'Merge info" but then, will I end up with double everything?  I have many hundreds of contacts and years of calendars.
    It seems with Apple I'm always cleaning up one mess after another.  Today when installing iTunes, it corrupted my Outlook and I had to repair Outlook. So it would be a nightmare to have double of everything on my phone and on my computer. 
    Does anyone have a clue as to what to expect? 

    On a PC with Windows or with Paralels iTunes 8.2 has an option for Outlook which works with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 (if it works - see my post on a case where it doesn't ...)

  • Saving multiple track information in midi format 0

    In order to play sequences on my new yamaha S90 ES, I need to save my sequences as format 0 on a USB disk. Format 0 only allows one region. How do you take a song that you've set up on different regions and dumb them down to one, while retaining the separate midi track information?

    I struggled with the same problem, but I think I've managed to come up with a solution. First, the steps explained in the online LE Reference manual are helpful. Search MIDI File 0 (I think the page is around 60). After performing the neccessary steps explained in the Reference manual you need to merge all of your midi tracks down to one track (region). VERY IMPORTANT do not merge them to one of the preset (pre-existing) midi or general midi tracks. If you do this, all the information just plays on one S90ES track - you get midi mush. You need to merge your tracks to an open (neutral?) track. I used the one labeled NO OUTPUT. I drag one midi track to the no output track and then merge any others to that track. I have found that the tracks only seem to merge "up". I drag the NO OUTPUT track to the top of the midi tracks that way they all merge to that track. At this point you should be able to export to your USB drive and the S90 ES should read it as separate tracks. It worked for me anyway. Good Luck!

  • Replace information on this iPhone...? Huh...?

    Howdy,
    I do not understand the iTunes behavior if I check "Contacts" under "Replace information on this iPhone."
    Just beneath the checkboxes appears the message "During the next sync only, iTunes will replace the selected information on this iPhone with information from this computer."
    When I check "Contacts" buttons appear to "Apply" or to "Cancel."
    If I click "Apply" the sync starts, and the contacts from the computer are put on the iPhone, *but nothing else on the iPhone is updated,* that is, no full sync actually is performed.
    Is there a way that I can have podcases, music, etc. updated on the iPhone, and have Contacts from the computer put on the phone as well?
    Sincere thanks,
    Kenneth

    email account info no longer syncs. (way back from iTunes 11).
    Do we really have to create all accounts manually.
    Yes.
    Or just restore your new iPhone from the backup of yoru old iPhone.

    I am using my old iPhone for playlist for my Dad's funeral as that meets the crematorium requirements. Some tracks - uploaded from personal CDs to MacBook Pro and successfully transferred to new iPhone (with small doc) won't transfer on syncing.  Most do, but why won't some, of my own music sync when others off the same album and in the same playlist do? I have now checked the storage, freed up 766MB, how can i not sync (and get everything i've just deleted back) but upload the required tunes? All help appreciated, many thanks x x x

    I don’t want to hear any of that “iTunes will let you re-download anything you’ve lost” nonsense.
    it won't anyways. except or apps, you are entitled to one download only. there4 it is important to back up.

  • Problems with some single tracks downloaded or only part of playlist appear as an album on iPhone.

    Two problems:
    1) Some single tracks I've downloaded (ie not part of an album in my ITunes) still appear as an album (with 1 song) when I sync with the iPhone. I've deleted all the album info so only track title and artist appear. This only happens with some tracks.
    2) I've put some tracks from albums I have in iTunes into a playlist. In some cases when I have not synced the whole album to the iPhone those single tracks appear as an album (with 1 or 2 songs). I can't delete them from the album list on the iPhone as it deletes the track from the playlist. And I can't delete the album data in iTunes as the track is then removed from the album. I tried grouping the playlist but this makes no difference.
    Both are really annoying as it only happens with some tracks and adds single songs to my album list. I have checked and all the visible data is the same and nothing random or odd is ticked or populated.
    Is there any way I can solve either of these?

    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones.  How is this data useful to him

    A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones that he wants to know information about.  How is my data useful to him and can he restore this data on another iPhone and run it parallel to mine? I have had people send me messages which I have not received. These have been screen shot to me later including time and I have just not got them. I had 4 weeks worth of messages go missing from my phone..I know that he synced my phone because his work laptops I'd came up in my settings. Also if the above can be done can he change the settings on my actual phone and access my location without placing tracking software on my phone.  Can someone please help here as I can't restore a backup to my phone for obvious reasons and refuse to change my number because of this loser.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

  • How to retrieve iPhone tracking information from iPhone.

    Does anyone know how to get the tracking information off of the iPhone?  I am trying to get this information as I am fighting a parking ticket I received while my car was valet'd, but have no other record of being at the bar on the night in question (as I paid with cash...the one time I don't use my credit card, right??!!).  If anyone knows how to retrieve the GPS tracking information (more importantly, how to get tracking information for a specific date), your help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Sorry but apple stopped tracking that information and it is no longer available. You will not be able to get any tracking information off your phone.
