Question about my i-pod touch

[type_rdriver]

When i add albums to my i-pod, none of the song names or artists names show? I have to type them all in and it takes ages

Whats missing off my computer that isn't reading the song names??

Ideas:S

 

[stooby]

Are they just coming up as track1, track2 etc?
Does the song name show up on your pc?
Try adding them to itunes first, see if they show up there, then add to ipod?

In theory when you put the disk in Itunes should source the information. Thats the extent of my knowledge. lol

 

[type_rdriver]

Yeah, when i put the disc in it says track1 ect.......

All i do is plug my i-pod into ther computer then insert the cd and it comes up.track1 ect..... then i list all the songs and names and import the cd.

Also i don't know how to add albums??

All my music is added to playlists:S

Is it a copied disc? not the original?

 

[Scoot]

Go on itunes, advanced and get cd track names and sync again.

No all orginal cd's. I haven't got wirless connection so can't connect to i-tunes.

Or do i not need wireless??

Couldn't say mate, all my computers are hooked up to't'interweb in one way or another. I'll try disconnecting the lapotp form the web and see what happens if i add a new cd.

Your putting the cd in your itunes library first right? Are the track names coming up?
You can then add them to a play list or drag and drop them in to you ipod (once connected) the names should go with them. Are they not?

Yeah the names are on my i-pod, but after i have typed all of them up via the keybord!

Are you using itunes to transfer?

 

[type_rdriver]

Don't really know how to use it properly quite yet

[Blue4Ever]

Fuckin hell mate, I'd stick with how you're doing it now!

is itunes on a computer that has the internet? it should just find stuff itself if so.

If you want to kind of force it right click on any song and click get album artwork - it should then say you need to sign in with your itunes account to get the artwork then there will also be a place to register and away you go

 

[type_rdriver]

My i-tunes wont connect to the internet. It says the network connection was refused? It says make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then tyr again??????????

WTF

I've been trying to connect since christmass lol

 

[iain187]

do you have a firewall by any chance?

 

[Paul RN]

Stick to playing tapes. lol

Sounds like a firewall issue, and as said above track names and album art are downloaded by iTunes connecting with its servers. If it can't the only way to get the the track listings is to manually type them in or use something like MediaMonkey (which still needs the internet).

 

[type_rdriver]

do you have a firewall by any chance?

How do i check this??

 

[type_rdriver]

Thanks for the help guys it is becoming clear now lol. Just need to find out how to change the firewall?

 

[iain187]

do you know what kind of firewall you have? you will have to find something like an allow list or permissions or something like that and then you will have to add the itunes program to it

 

[type_rdriver]

I-tunes is in the exceptions list on the firewall and i still can't connect:S

Really pissing me off now as i can't use the i-pod to it's potential.
