    I tried to import some Chinese songs (aka songs with Chinese characters in their names, artist, album, etc) into iTunes before and all the characters all show up as squares. Even if I retype all the characters, they still come up as squares. Last night, when I tried again with different songs, I could change the song titles, names, artists etc into Chinese and iTunes was able to display the characters correctly. This morning when I opened up iTunes, all the characters because squares again, and I tried to re-enter the characters but they won't show. Anyone know how to fix this?

    No one? :(

    https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=chinese+characters+in+itunes

    and you would probably get better answers from itunes community forum than a laptop forum

    Ooooh that did help... I remember googling this when I first encountered the problem and not finding anything, but this time it worked. Let's see how long it lasts.

    Update 4 hours later: characters are back to squares.
